Floating Tower in Owlboy: Location Guide
Where the Floating Tower is in Owlboy, what players do there, and the Tower's place in the story.
What is the Floating Tower in Owlboy?
The Floating Tower is the final dungeon in Owlboy, and according to the community wiki it is a gigantic research facility in the sky that the Ancient Owls built without the knowledge of the world at large.
Where is the Floating Tower?
It sits in the open sky as the game's last major area. According to the fan wiki at owlboy.fandom.com, the tower was created by the Ancient Owls and can be accessed at the end of the game through Kernelle.
The official store page and patch notes do not describe the tower's location in detail, so the lore below comes from community records of the in-game Book of Noctae rather than from D-Pad Studio's own announcements.
- The last few Owls gathered at the Floating Tower, far away from the famines and wars elsewhere, according to the fan wiki.
- The Great Relics used to create the Hex were reforged there, according to the fan wiki.
How do you reach and move through the Floating Tower?
You reach it at the end of the game through Kernelle, according to the community wiki. Movement inside is built around Otus' inability to keep flying, which the same wiki describes as a run of spinning and gravity-based platforming.
- The dungeon has no minor enemies, according to the fan wiki.
- After going up one of the spinning platforms, you can take a left or right path. The right path has a floating rock, according to the fan wiki.
- Taking that right path eventually leads into a building with the third Golden Disk hovering in the middle of a grand room, according to the fan wiki.
That third disk is the one kept in the Floating Tower rather than the similarly named Floating Continent, according to the same community wiki. Note that one fan page attributes the tower's construction to the Ancient Owls while another describes it as a research facility of the last Owls; treat the wording as community interpretation.
Are there enemies in the Floating Tower?
Not minor ones, according to the fan wiki, which says the dungeon consists of no minor enemies. What it does lean on is platforming pressure and gravity-based layouts rather than regular combat encounters. The tower's boss fights and set pieces are not documented in the official patch notes, so the wiki is the main record of how those encounters play out.
What story appears at the Floating Tower?
The tower carries the game's late-story material: the gathering of the last Owls, the reforging of the Great Relics, and the revelations tied to the Hex. According to the fan wiki, a statue of Aegolius, a painting of Aegolius, a statue of Surnia and a painting of Surnia can all be found in the Floating Tower.
The official patch notes do not list story changes at the tower. If you want the base game first, it is a single-player, full-controller-support title with Steam Achievements, Trading Cards and Cloud saves, and Valve rates it Verified for Steam Deck. You can check the Steam store page for the current listing and the anniversary update's dash, auto-aim and cutscene-skip options, which apply across the game.
