General Tips
- Catching arrows is perhaps the most important thing in TowerFall. If you can master that, you can beat anyone. It's even possible to catch multiple arrows at once with perfect timing.
- Be careful when opening treasure chests, there may be a bomb inside!
- Remember that levels wrap around. Shooting an arrow to the left of the map to target someone on the right side always proves satisfying.
- Spamming arrows can be a valid strategy in certain situations, though it may upset your opponent...
- Remember to jump on opponents' heads, especially if you run out of arrows.
- When time runs short and the walls start caving in, use that to your advantage. Your opponent may be distracted, which is a great time to be more aggressive.
- Laser arrows can be very dangerous – be sure not to accidentally kill yourself.
- Holding the shoot button allows you to aim your arrows, so use it often.
- Don't use special arrows haphazardly. Wait for the perfect opportunity to use them, even if it means being less aggressive. Wasting a perfectly good bomb arrow is a terrible thing.
- We all love shiny treasure chests, but don't let your guard down. Your opponent also knows your intentions and may be waiting to target you when you head for the bait.
- This music is not to be confused with the alternate Title music which is unlocked by beating Quest mode through the Ascension level. This music is a hidden chip tune by artist will Kirkby that has a 1/100 chance of being played whenever you enter the game's 'Main' menu.
- You can choose to play as Ancient Exile players with their hair down by holding down the Left trigger while selecting an Ancient Exile character.
- Select 'Archives' at the 'Main' menu once you have unlocked ALL three bonus levels and change the page to 'Ascension'. Then press Right, Up, Left, Right(2), Down(2), Up, Down.
- At the 'Credits' screen press Left, Right, L2, R2, Up(2), Down, Left, R2, X to unlock ALL quest levels, the four archers, the four hidden towers, and the Gunn Style variant.
