Changes: Way Towers

Revision as of 09:15, 29 April 2020

Way Towers (originally known as "Passage Towers" in Season 1) are arguably the most important towers on Lyoko.

Overview

Each sector (excluding Sector Five) has a Way Tower. These towers contain the codes and data which make up the entire sector, this data can be accessed from the upper platform interface like in a normal tower. The best feature (in the Lyoko Warriors's case) is the data stream running below the lower platform. Unlike other towers, the data stream in way towers allows anyone who falls into them to access another sector (except Sector Five). In all seasons, the team has put these towers to good use and from Saint Valentine's Day onwards, they learned that they could take vehicles into the towers and into the data streams.

Unfortunately, X.A.N.A. also knew how the way towers worked and in Season 3, he used Scyphozoa to possess Aelita and then guide her to the Way Tower. Once inside, she would go up to the upper platform where she would enter Code: X.A.N.A.. This code would hand X.A.N.A. complete control over the corresponding sector and could wipe it off the map.

Before Lyoko was destroyed by William in Final Round, the way towers were connected with Sector Five through wires. However, after Lyoko was recreated in William Returns, it seems that the way towers are connected with Sector Five using wireless technology. However, the normal towers are still connected with the way towers through wires.

Trivia

Like all towers, way towers are color coded. In Seasons 1 and 2, they were color-coded teal. This changed to white after Season 2. This made them difficult to tell from the inactive towers. With the updated look in Code Lyoko Evolution, this problem went away.

-In Season 4, [[Odd]] discovered that regular towers have the data streams running below their platforms however jumping into them would only send you back to the tower the person jumped from or to another tower in the same sector. Also in this season, [[William]] being under the control of X.A.N.A., could type in CODE: X.A.N.A..

-Since tower locations can move somewhat, way towers are no exception. The [[Ice Sector|Ice Sector's]] way tower has been recorded in several different locations. Additionally, it appears that the functions of a way tower can jump between towers; as in, on one day, tower A might be the Way tower for the Mountain Sector, but on day 2, it might be tower B.
+==Trivia==
-Way Towers were seen in all 4 of Lyoko's initial sectors, with Carthage lacking one for some reason. However, it's unknown if [[replikas]] possessed them or not. This lack of understanding extends to the [[Cortex (Replika)|Cortex]] and [[Volcano Sector]].
