The Tower (also known as the lighthouse) is a mysterious location on the Overworld. It is often associated with Ending 3. It can be found near the coastlines in the middle of the water. Because of it being in the ocean, it cannot be reached by normal means.
It was stated that a "black pill" would be needed to walk on the water.[1] However, by going out of bounds, you can reach it regardless. Despite that, reaching it will not allow you to actually enter as it is "locked." The current methods for unlocking the tower are unknown. In the game's code, it checks for a variable titled "SAMSQUANCH" as well as the items "41249" and "97570" in Alex's inventory. Notably, all 
three variables correspond to different ONISM posts in some way.
Once "unlocked," entering the tower leads to the Essentia Tutorial Dungeon.
The tower appears in YIIK I.V, but with moss growing all over it, and torches illuminating it along vertically. Nameless Child falls down from it at the beginning of the story, leading her to fall into the Blackened Pond.

Trivia[edit | edit source]
- The Tower somewhat represents a Rook Chess piece in appearance.
- This connects to the chess imagery seen throughout YIIK. Other examples include the King, Queen, and Glass Pillars (Bishops).
