Citadel Tower Walkthrough

1 Start climbing the tower, grabbing any treasures on the way up to the top.

The items inside the treasure chests here are much better than the Mysterious Cave's so make sure not to miss any.
2 Head center of the second floor to grab a Mini Medal and Poker from the two chests. Afterwards, you can head up to the 4th floor.
3 Explore this floor and open the three treasure chests for a Mini Medal, some Elevating Shoes, and a Destructiball. There's also a friendly Franticore here so make sure to recruit them.

Once you've got everything on this floor, head all the way up to the top of the tower.
4 When you're ready, head up the stairs to face Xenlon. If you want your wish to be granted, you'll need to defeat them in at least 35 turns.
▶ How to Beat Xenlon
5 After defeating him in 35 turns, you'll get to have one wish granted. If you want to have another wish granted, the turn requirement will be reduced to 25, and any wishes after that need to be done in 15 turns.

Recommended Wish Order

・Monster Arena
・Temple of Trials
・Weapon
・Guns 'n' Buns
・More Guns 'n' Buns
・Ortega / Trendiest Hero
You can swap around the order of the top three wishes. However, it's recommended to do it in the order above since it's better to prioritize defenseive equipment, Mini Medals, and friendly monsters over stronger weapons.
