Constellation links are fascinating puzzles scattered across the world of Tower of Fantasy that reward players for connecting the stars and unveiling the mysteries of the night sky. One of the most celestial of these links is Aquarius, the Water Bearer – shining high in the north and linked to mythological stories of the zodiac. This guide will walk you through everything you need to know to locate Aquarius and draw the waves that will reveal its secrets.
What are Constellation Links?
As you explore the beautiful and dangerous open world of Aida, you may come across large technological devices called Smart Scopes. Interacting with them will pull up a holographic screen showing an incomplete star chart, with some stars connected but others scattered and waiting to be linked.
By drawing lines between the stars to complete the constellation, you‘ll receive loot rewards like Dark Crystals, Nuclei, and more. There are 12 main zodiac constellation links to find, each rewarding Black Nuclei for their first completion. After that, they reset weekly and completing them will earn you more resources.
Constellation links encourage exploration, teach you about the in-game star signs and lore, and give neat puzzles to solve with creative star drawing. Now let‘s start our journey under the stars with Aquarius!
The Story Behind Aquarius
Aquarius is one of the oldest constellations known, recorded since Ancient Babylonian times and mentioned by Ptolemy in the 2nd century AD. It depicts a figure holding a vessel and pouring water, thus its name – the Water Bearer.
Many myths tie into Aquarius and water symbolism. In Greek legend, the constellation represents Ganymede, the beautiful youth carried off by Zeus to become a cup bearer to the gods. Some stories say it represents Deucalion, who survived the great Flood with his wife Pyrrha by building an ark.
In astrology, Aquarius is associated with progression, intellect, and humanitarianism. As one of the zodiac signs, it is linked to characters and themes across cultures. When we gaze upon its stars, we are connecting back to those ancient traditions.
Locating Aquarius:
Location: North of Rose Garden, at the end of a cliff
Coordinates: 512.3, 863.4
Aquarius is located in the Astra region, specifically on the northern grassy clifftops above Rose Garden. Head to these exact coordinates on your map to find the Smart Scope. You may need to climb up some rocky outcroppings to reach the highest point overlooking the sea.
Interact with the device and you‘ll see the partial star chart for the Aquarius constellation link. Now it‘s time to join the stars and complete the constellation!
Solving the Aquarius Pattern
When looking at the Aquarius pattern, you need to draw lines connecting the stars to form the shape of a letter E. This symbolic shape fits with the water-bearer theme of waves and fluidity.
- Start by linking the top middle star to the bottom left
- Next connect the bottom left to the bottom right
- Finally link the bottom right back up to the top middle
- If done correctly, it will say "Connected" and complete the Aquarius constellation!
Completing this constellation link for the first time will reward you with 1 Black Nucleus, which contains SSR weapons and matrices. On subsequent weekly resets, additional resources will be gained.
