Tower (Destiny)



The Tower is a social activity and a location within the walls of The City. In the Tower, Guardians can interact with each other, visit vendors, or turn in quest items. While in the Tower, combat is not possible and the player's Guardian is viewed from a third-person perspective. Guardians have the option to wear or remove their helmets in the Settings menu.

Areas
The Tower is divided into five areas. New arrivals appear in the Tower Plaza, the central hub from which all other areas are accessible.
 * Hall of Guardians
 * Tower Hangar
 * Tower North
 * Tower Plaza
 * Traveler's Walk

Trivia

 * Bungie art director Christopher Barrett described the Tower as "Earth's Camelot," a glimmering stronghold surrounded by shadows. The Tower is designed to have a "human futuristic aesthetic" composed of "contemporary inspiration plus some number of years, like ten to 50 years of advancement." Vehicles and architecture within the Tower resemble present day vehicles and architecture, but more futuristic with some Japanese influence. At the same time, the Tower feels "lived in," with broken tiles, scars of past battles, and repairs and additions over top of the original futuristic architecture. Above all, the Tower is designed to feel hopeful and bright.
 * According to an NPC in the Tower, it is rumored that some time in the past, the City once possessed a dozen Towers, but the others all fell to the Darkness.
 * There is a soccer ball that can be kicked around by players. It has three spawn locations:
 * Behind the post office, on the side facing the North Tower, in front of a stack of crates and cylinders.
 * Beside a stack of crates under the stairs next to the North Tower.
 * Beside a stack of crates opposite the foot of the stairs next to the North Tower.
 * There is a purple beach ball that can be tossed around by players using their feet or heads. It has four possible spawn locations:
 * On a stack of crates to the right of Xander 99-40, the Bounty Hunter.
 * On a brown table at the left side of Master Rahool, the Cryptarch.
 * During an event, when the Events area behind the Bounty Tracker is open, two additional beach balls can spawn, providing a total of three active beach balls:
 * On or behind a stack of crates to the right when entering the events area.
 * On top of a keg beside a bunch of crates half way along the left side of the events area.
 * There is a secret button on the platform above Eris. It activates the fan on the roof of the building containing the Postmaster and Special Orders vendors, briefly launching any Guardian standing on it into the air.
 * At the point where new Guardians arrive in the Tower, the Latin phrase "ATRIVM PROPVGNATORVM" can be read just below the center staircase on the ground. This translates to "Hall of Champions" in English. The line below that phrase on the map of the Tower in the Destiny companion app: "Juvenes erant Sparte muros el hastes fines eius" can translate to "Young men were the walls of Sparta, their spears its borders."
 * The Tower's signs are displayed in three languages: English, Chinese, and Portuguese.
 * Seven coins are hidden in the design of the environments around the Tower.
 * In Update 1.1.2, the Jukebox Easter Egg was added to the Tower Hangar.
