The '''Tower''' is a [[Social|social space]] located atop the defensive wall encircling the [[Last City]]. It serves as the headquarters of the [[Vanguard]] and the home of the [[Guardian]]s.
The '''Tower''' is a [[Social|social space]] located atop the defensive wall encircling the [[Last City]]. It serves as the headquarters of the [[Vanguard]] and the home of the [[Guardian]]s.


Following the defeat of [[Dominus Ghaul]] and his [[Red Legion]], the Vanguard opened facilities on wall's ramparts while the original [[Tower]], which was destroyed at the onset of the [[Red War]], was being rebuilt. The new Tower provides a dramatic view of [[The Traveler]]'s reawakening until it healed its wounds as [[The Witness]] and its [[Black Fleet]] threaten the Sol System. After the Traveler departed from the Tower to confront the Witness and its Black Fleet, the Tower's skybox is filled with ships from different members of [[The Coalition]] with [[Awoken]] [[Ceres Galliot|Galliot]]s, [[Ketch]]es from the [[House of Light]] and [[Imperial Cabal]] [[Cabal Carrier|Carrier]]s occupying it.

==Gameplay==
In ''[[Destiny 2]]'', the Tower acts as the main hub for Guardians in between activities. It was the second [[Social|social space]] unlocked in the game, after [[the Farm]]. Once the [[Story]] mission [[Chosen]] is completed, The Farm's icon in the [[Director]] was replaced by an icon depicting the reawakened [[Traveler]], which opened a map of the Tower and provides access to its landing zone. The Farm's icon was moved to the [[European Dead Zone]] map and could still be accessed, but as most vendors relocated to the Tower, the only features still available were the postmaster, vaults, and [[Cryptarch]] [[Tyra Karn]]. Following the release of ''[[Shadowkeep]]'', both the Farm and the Tower are unlocked by default. The Farm has since been added to the [[Destiny Content Vault]] and is no longer accessible as of ''[[Beyond Light]]''.

**Location: Courtyard
**Location: Courtyard
**Objective: A purple ball can be found near a stack of crates on the bridge above where Guardians spawn into the Tower. Kicking this ball to a ring of tiles in the Courtyard will cause a green ball to appear in the purple ball's original spot. Move the green ball to the banister behind the Eververse stall to spawn a black ball. Move the black ball to the top of the ramparts to summon a blue ball. Complete the puzzle by moving the blue ball next to the Guardian Game trophy display. The puzzle is complete when a large Traveler ball spawns and fireworks set off across the sky.

**Location: Hangar
**Location: Hangar
**Objective: The eastern half of the Hangar features an open area much larger than the Farm's soccer field. The ball spawned in the middle, and the goals are at opposite ends. Scoring a goal will set off fireworks in the sky behind that goal. In addition, both goals are bracketed by a pair of controls that, when activated, will briefly raise floor panels in the middle of the area. The ball no longer spawned following Saint-14's arrival in the Hangar during ''[[Season of Dawn]]'', meaning this mini-game can no longer be played.
