Crimson Forest Sha-Chi Tower at a Glance
- Only late in the game: you can enter the tower when you come back to the frozen forest after Mirage Estate.
- Bells, numbering three: Crimson Forest Sha-Chi Tower Gate, Base and 6th Floor.
- Primal Stone: the stone that completes A Severed Mindseal is supplied by the furnace at the base of the tower.
- Tales on the top floor: the quests Use It Against Them and Heart of the Fist come from Jade Dancer and Iron Fiend.
- Top access: the Crimson Forest Sha-Chi Tower Key is what opens the uppermost level.
Overview
Found late in the game, the Crimson Forest Sha-Chi Tower is accessed by going back to the frozen Crimson Forest after Mirage Estate, then crossing the lake ice beside the Burial Grounds Bell. Inside are three bells (Gate, Base and 6th Floor), a few chests, and sparring opponents on the uppermost floor, plus a furnace that ties into the Primal Stone quest.

Zones and spots
6th Floor
At the summit is the 6th Floor Bell. Here too is Spectral Blade, who accepts the Primal Stone for A Severed Mindseal.
| Name | Details |
|---|---|
| Use the key on the door, step up to the roof and have a word with Mu, who gives you Supreme Order Token, a material for tempering weapons. | |
| Use It Against Them | talk to Jade Dancer on the right to begin a sparring match. Your main weapon must be Fiend Saws alone, with the Iron Gauntlets Phantom Edge. Beat both Jade Dancer and Iron Fiend for Heel Reinforcement Part. |
| Heart of the Fist | talk to Iron Fiend on the left to get started. At a gravestone close to the Burial Grounds Bell the quest wraps up, giving Fist Fragment: Shell as the reward. |
Closer look
Gate
Your first stop is the Gate Bell. Climbing up, you will pass two chests.
- Head through the tower toward the northwest and reach the rear cliff. There a chest holds a Sha-Chi Amber Fragment.
- Keep climbing the tower until a ramp drops you into an area where enemies hurl bombs. Circle round the level beyond the stairs and you will find a chest by another staircase leading upward; it contains a Blackstone Fragment.
Base
On the lowest floor you will find the Base Bell.
- Miracle Remedy is inside one chest on the lowest floor, while a Blackstone Fragment is inside another.
- Swing over to the furnace from the bell. To the furnace's right is the Crimson Forest Sha-Chi Tower Key, and the Primal Stone is within the open doorway.
- A Severed Mindseal: bring the Primal Stone back up to the 6th floor, where handing it to Spectral Blade completes the quest.
Routes and movement
How to arrive
Ice forms on the water near the Burial Grounds Bell as soon as you start the Mirage Estate chapter. Walk up the trail southwest of the bell, head west, and you reach the frozen stretch to the tower. Frostward, an accessory, awaits in the opening area.
