Inspired by Ducktales and Indiana Jones; this remote desert spire is a gruelling climb to the top.

What's at the top? I've placed an ancient portal there, but you can remove it and place anything you want. The climb is probably best done if the players are trying to reach the top as fast as possible, but with monsters or henchmen preventing them from climbing too quickly.

Hope you'll use the spire for an epic adventure or final boss fight.

 

Map features:

Rest up in the camp ahead of ascending the spire.
Don't forget to visit the small shrine near the base of the spire.
Lvl 1 main hall is missing a bridge; players can climb the outside or use their skills and equipment to cross the deep pit.
Secret shrine outside of main hall could offer a blessing.
Lvl 2 can be reached via a short cut (missing stairs) or the slightly longer route on the opposite site where monsters may be waiting.
Lvl 3 features a narrow hallway and more stairs. If the players are trying to race to the top this is a good place to stop them. Clever players may choose to try to climb the outside.
Lvl 4 features a large glowing portal; remove it if you want a different kind of boss fight up here.

 

Hope you'll use the spire in your campaign! I'd love to hear about it!

Want a custom dungeon? I am happy to create dungeons on request when possible. Leave a comment and we'll figure it out.

Very cool for 1 shots imo. Could be used as a set piece in a campaign to.

Amazing work.

It's very rare for a creator to leave instructions on how to use their map as intended, thanks for doing that!
