Pulling the chain on the bottom floor allows the player to freely climb up and down the chain, without having to navigate the agility obstacles.

Additionally, a lift platform is available on the ground floor of the Tower of Ascension, which brings the player to the bottom floor of the dungeon, where Amoxliatl is.

The moon key can be used on the chest located on the bottom floor of the ruins for various rewards.

A Dwarven multicannon cannot be placed inside.

History

Tapoyauik was originally a fortress built by the Old Ones before their demise (which the Twilight Emissaries believe was due to the last cycle of Ximoua).[1] The Twilight Temple was later built on top of the ruins of the fortress, during the reign of Emperor Imafore.

The Twilight Temple was seen as blasphemous by the people of Varlamore and thus was abandoned for many years.[2] Eventually, Metzli was drawn to the temple due to its position atop Tapoyauik.[3] She formed the Twilight Emissaries and brought her followers to the Temple to begin excavating the Ruins of Tapoyauik.

It is said that Imafore wanted somewhere dedicated to Ranul that would rival the Teomat. [...] Anyway, the temple was considered an affront to both the Church of Ralos and the Sect of Ranul. After Imafore died, most people were more than happy to see it abandoned."
