Getting There

 * 3) Use a Pollnivneach tablet to get to the house portal and run east to the bridge then north (after Love Story).
 * 4) Go through the Shantay Pass, take the magic carpet to Uzer and run west to the tower.
 * 5) Go through Shantay Pass, run east to the River Elid, cross the bridge and go slightly north to reach the tower.

Modes

 * Climber allows the player to ascend through the levels of the tower, facing a randomly chosen boss scenario on each floor. After each victory, an effect will be applied and will persist through all subsequent fights in that attempt. While a few of these will be beneficial, most of them will be handicaps. Players will be able to replenish food and change equipment between fights.
 * Endurance restricts the player's access to the bank after each fight, so whatever they take in needs to last.
 * Special presents a range of challenging, treacherous and, often, strange encounters with which to test the player's skill and ingenuity.
 * Freestyle lets players fight on their own terms. There are no rewards for using this mode, but it’s a great way to cut players' teeth for the big leagues, or just show off fighting a boss under the player's own crazily difficult rules.
 * Spectator allows players to view the fights of another player whom they’ve tagged with their dominion talisman.

Pre-Release
Attendees of RuneFest 2011 were given the chance to play-test Dominion Tower using Jagex test servers and Jmod test accounts. These attendees gave feedback and found glitches that delayed the release of Dominion Tower from the original 31 October date to the eventual 1 November date. A video showed Dominion Tower at Runefest 2011:

Trivia

 * In the quote by Mod Mark, he says "You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one". This is a reference to the song "Imagine" by John Lennon.
 * On the day of release the Knowledge base read "The rewards were stored somewhere in the tower and the face can't find them. Come back tomorrow when he's managed to have a look around." about possible rewards from this minigame.
 * The tower can be seen from the tier 6 Clan Citadel . It's not known if it can be spotted from the other tiers yet.
