A few days ago, I shared my environment here for the fight against the Arch-Astronomer of the tower.

I also wanted to add the environment for the Astronomical Library, which I use beforehand as an exploration environment. It gives the players a chance to prepare for the fight and the environment at the top of the Astronomer’s Tower, or to gather information and gain advantages before the encounter.

I built this environment to make the observatory fight feel less like a static boss encounter and more like a collapsing magical machine. The players can stop the Arch Astronomer’s transformation by recalibrating the telescope and preserving the tower, or they can destroy the apparatus as a faster solution—but lose its future use as a source of star magic and teleportation. The goal is to make every round feel like a meaningful choice between risk, time, and long-term consequences.
