Region 2: The Heavenly Courtyard

The Heavenly Courtyard is the current endgame floor of the Tower of Babel in Kernel Hearts. The enemies are fewer but meaner: everything hits through un-upgraded chips, curse floors punish sloppy positioning, and the floor guardian — the Floor 2 Guardian — is a genuine gear check. Players who skipped the Floor 1 upgrades turn around at the first bridge.

Three things bring players here: Angel Shards (the Floor 2 Guardian summon item needs three), upgraded chip components crafted from Courtyard materials, and finishing the character roster. Future content updates will extend the tower higher — until then, the Floor 2 Guardian is the wall every build is measured against.
