What If...Antitower & Alexander

[DE-Roxas]

Outdated topic.

Yes we have sorry.

The antitower has no relation whatsoever with Alexander.

Its a dungeon of the Main Scenario.

What we dont know is where is the entrance to this dungeon.

well that stone pillar idyllshire i built on looks like a reversed tower.
though it's probably one of those occasions where we end up relying on cid ex machina and his airship to bring us to the actual location...

We had that Lake empty before they implemented Alexander right?

Wrong. Alexander appeared right after the credits in the ending of 3.0 main scenario. Even before it got implented. Only before you finish the quest "Into the sky" the lake is empty.

Oh okay, was that confirmed? I didn't knew that if it was, then nvm

You can see the cutscene in the Unending Journey. It even pans to focus on the white structure before Aether coalesces and transforms it into Alexanders head, before Alex raises and slams his arm down onto the shore.

As for being dormant, it is mentioned in the Alexander story that Alexander was originally a Sharlayan project to create a mobile castle for intellectuals. An unknown party previously activated him about 3 years in the past but he was quickly shut down, and the Illuminati reactivated him for themselves after you beat the KotR.

I think I read somewhere that the thing that was under the lake before Alexander appeared was a defense mechanism the Sharlayans built, and it was renovated to become Alexander.

I think the Antitower however is the facility that was lost with the Isle of Val, since it is a facility dedicated to researching about the Mothercrystal, and that it was the same goal as the students of Baldesion have. So it's not a far stretch that the Antitower is the one that disappeared with the Isle of Val.

EDIT: I've read the description about the Antitower and it's actually somewhere originating in the Hinterlands...well before. Still, My first statement might be correct.

It might have been a part of Idyllshire before, but magically disappeared? Idyllshire had broken roads that suspiciously lead to nowhere.
