Posting this while waiting for it to stop raining so I can burn these thorns

It only started raining when I arrived at the tower and it's been going on for what seems like forever. Pretty sure the game does this on purpose...

Ended up building a roof and that worked. Was that the point of the tower? Does the rain actually last forever?

It was intended to make you build the roof so you could start the fire in front of the door.

Yeah that's the "puzzle" for this tower I think. At least that's what I had to do

I found a nearby campfire under a roof and just slept until it stopped raining. Didn’t even think to build a roof over the thorns.

I'm surprised it stopped raining. Even the locks say it rains non-stop

Yea I thought the rain was part of the “puzzle” but figured I’d give a couple rounds of waiting at the campfire a go and it worked.

My husband did this too. I had built the roof, so I was surprised as hell when just waiting actually worked.

This is what I did, and I only did that cause I messed up my long roof that I was building so just sat at the campfire till noon and it was sunny.

Most likely. That's the solution I also had to use because it just wouldn't stop raining - and there have been areas with deliberate perma-rain in BotW as well, so I wouldn't be surprised if they reused that setup in the sequel.

Makes sense that the rain is the puzzle, but it wasn't immediately obvious to me since the rain started after I had already burned away a few thorns.

All these comments saying you're supposed to build a roof but I just waited and the rain eventually stopped.

I think there’s a sign near by that says to build a shelter if you want a fire in the rain but the devs might’ve added something for patient players too. 😊

I was able to take out a flame emitter, turn it on, and use ultrahand to focus it for long enough that it burned out anyway.

It took me an embarrassingly long time to figure out what I had to do to open this one.
