About this list

Mission names, steps and places come from the game's own mission data. "Wild Pals here" is the usual level of the wild Pals around that spot, so you can tell if you're ready. Tower leaders are tougher than the Pals around them, so bring your best team. The towers can be done in any order, but this is easiest to hardest.
