On the Tower of Transcendence

The ultimate goal in Tower of Transcendence is to unlock Agamemnon, who can not be summoned under monsters tab. From Agamemnon you can get pieces to combine Aegis of the Kings, the best shield in the game. Also, you can get a weapon and a helmet, which are stronger than the Exsanguinator and the Helm of Dragon Power, and a glove slightly weaker than Gauntlet of Fire.

If you don't have divine items, like Force of Nature (get ingredient from Jahanna), please don't fight Agamemnon, because Agamemnon has divine armor, it will prevent 1/3 damage. Only items with divine power can remove the armor power.

If you have joined another player's Agamemnon and have defeated it, the summon button on the boss floor of your own tower will appear. However, the game will not allow you to summon Agamemnon if you have not unlocked his floor yet. So don't believe the rumours.

Clicking the summon button on any other floor will summon one of the four monsters in that rank. You cannot choose which one. That means you can get unlucky and summon the dame monster over and over again. Festival monsters have a cooldown period in which you cannot summon another.

Festival monsters do not show up on your keep. They are found in festival monster list. You can get the link by right-clicking on engage and copying the link location. Getting the link from the battle by clicking call to arms button and copying the link (in blue) will result in helping link, regardless of you not publishing. The &action=doObjective in the link makes the link to help launch weapons.

It may be wise to not CTA too soon. You can request no CTAs until a given time, you can set damage limit. If the monster is not critical, please let everyone to do the required amount to get the points. The requirements are posted here (some data may be missing).

Points at a given rank count only within the rank. For example, if the highest you have unlocked is silver rank, fighting bronze rank monsters will earn you points in bronze rank, fighting gold rank monsters will earn you points in gold rank - when you unlock gold, the points are waiting.

Festival may not be necessarily worth it. If you really think about it, Aegis of the Kings' total attack is only 7 points higher that of the Sword of Redemption and total defence is 10 points higher, whereas our total attack is 100% attack skill + 70% defence skill + 100% general's attack + 70% general's defence + 100% weapons' attack + 70% weapons' defence; the same in reverse for defence. If, for example, your total attack is 1,750; will 7 points really change that much?

Then again, it is fun, and an achievement within the game. Besides, if you hunt monsters anyway, no real difference between festival and regular monsters, since loot is the same.
