“An ominous tower looms on the horizon of the isle's south horn, twisted spires shimmering in the haze. What revelations await within its uppermost chambers?
— In-game description
The Forked Tower: Blood is a level 100 field operation introduced in patch 7.25 with Dawntrail. Instead of being a separate instance, it exists within 
The Occult Crescent: South Horn. Similar to 
The Baldesion Arsenal and 
Delubrum Reginae (Savage), Forked Tower is designed to be a high-end duty that requires group coordination and the use of specific phantom job actions to complete.
Requirements & Entrance
Players must purchase 
Sanguine Ciphers from the Expedition Antiquarian (X:38.1, Y:7.0) for 
600 or 
960. When at least 16 players use the ciphers at a cipher reliquary (X:22.5, Y:21.4) during 
Auroral Mirages weather, an aetherial node will activate, teleporting them to within the tower after a brief period. Players must have a Knowledge Level of 20 to enter.
Up to 48 players may join the instance. If there are more than 48 players standing in the aetherial node, players will be randomly selected for teleportation. Players who used a cipher will have a higher chance of being selected, which further increases for contributing a greater number of ciphers at once.
If the player is not selected to enter, they will be refunded their cipher(s).
Unlike standard content, players cannot be resurrected by normal means (including healer limit breaks) and will have 3 non-replenishable stacks of the debuff 
Resurrection Restricted. Defeated players may only be resurrected by 
Revive from 
Phantom Chemist. Each time they are revived, they will lose one stack. When a player has no more stacks remaining, they will not be able to be resurrected by any means and must leave the instance.
Players may only swap their phantom job in the starting room of the raid. Once they leave the room, they will be given the 
Duties as Assigned status and be unable to swap their job or phantom job.

Lore
“Indecipherable tomes are strewn across the floor and piled haphazardly among the fallen shelves. Closer inspection reveals countless magical glyphs, likely representing a wealth of arcane knowledge.
— Collapsed Bookshelves
“The polished surface glimmers with myriad symbols, none of which obviously resemble Eorzean script. Although unfamiliar, the patterns you discern imply the glyphs form a written system of some kind. Was this encoding designed to conceal knowledge considered a threat to civilization?
— Occult Epitaph
“As you peruse the tablet's inscription, a wave of nausea compels you to avert your gaze. No doubt the document is imbued with some magical contrivance, shielding it from eyes deemed unworthy of the knowledge within.
