Spire of Order

TheSpire of Order[1] is the location theSide Order expansion forSplatoon 3 takes place in. The Spire of Order replacesDeca Tower in theOrder Sector.
Initially,Agent 8 must ascend the spire's ten floors to rescueMarina. After this, the height of the Spire of Order is increased to thirty floors, which must be climbed to defeatOrder at the top.
Description
The Spire of Order appears as a blanched-out, dilapidated version ofDeca Tower, with a significant amount of metal piping added to its exterior. Blank, forward-facing panels replace the angled billboards, screens, and signage from Deca Tower. Its layout changes each timeAgent 8 enters.[2]
The Spire of Order functions as a factory where memory cubes are generated, grayscaled, and ultimately incinerated - the ashes emitted from this process can be seen falling outside in the Order Sector[3].
