** It's a common joke in the community that anyone who invests too much time into JToH [[LGBTFanbase is going to come out a closet of some description eventually.]]

** '''Difficult''': Steeple of Aquatic Rallies is unique in its punishment. Due to the gameplay being slanted, falling once will most likely cause you to not land on other gameplay, forcing you to restart the entire steeple.

** WesternAnimation/FreeBirds [[labelnote:Explanation]]When Zone 6 came out, staff posted an announcement on the Discord server saying Free Birds was out. It's been used in the community since then, with Zone 7 even getting the nickname Free Birds 2.[[/labelnote]]

* DarthWiki/SoBadItsHorrible: Tower of Confusion and Tower of Inception are widely considered to be the worst towers in the game. Tiny platform spam, repetitive gameplay, random traps, softlocks, the list goes on.

* ThatOneBoss: Possessed Blades, the boss of Halloween 2022. Dear god. Phases 1 and 3 are ok, but Phase 2 is the hardest point. The bosses' HP is doubled, there are many more attacks, getting hit by some will cause you to lose half your HP, and there are multiple attacks going on at once. It got to the point that when the staff team asked what the difficulty of phase 2 was, the hardest difficulty won by a landslide. It didn't help that the staff team refused to nerf it, either.

** '''Easy''': Tower of [[SurpriseDifficulty Overestimating Difficulty]] in Zone 3 is unsurprisingly this as the hardest Easy tower in the game. While still easier compared to other, more harder towers, it has some mechanics and obstacles that are relatively tricky to get down right, coupled with an increased amount of killbricks being used towards the final floors in it.

*** Steeple of Pursuit isn't too bad on its own, except for the rising lava that's constantly rising beneath you at all times. It also has a habit of throwing in killbricks in a lot of cramped and tight areas, which forces you to take your time on them and heal up, at the cost of having the lava edge closer towards your current position and risking your death. It all comes down to trial and error and knowing what comes up next while dodging the killbricks. Even after several nerfs from Jukereise to force it down from Hard to Medium difficulty by slowing down the lava and making it so that it doesn't instantly kill you, this still is considered one of the hardest Mediums currently in the game.

* {{Hilarious In Hindsight}}: The more difficult towers in the game have a warning above their portal that they are not recommended for mobile players, with the urgency of the warning increasing with the difficulty of said tower. These signs are a rather old feature that predate nearly every ring and zone in the game. Fast forward some years, with the addition of several optimizations and a [[AdvancedMovementTechnique shiftlock button]] for mobile players, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5BJbQogH3WQ and you end up with a tower of the hardest official difficulty in game conquered by a player with nothing more than a phone and a whole lot of determination.]]

*** Tower of Madness is somewhat of a jump from Tower of Annoyingly Simple Trials and Tower of Anger with some of the gameplay it has at times, though, special mention should go to Floor 5 with the long, winding pathway leading up to the next floor that ends up elongating the floor for longer than it should. Thankfully, you can skip this
by jumping from one platform above you to the next, but this is somewhat risky to pull off, especially for new players.

{{That One Level}}: Many of the soul crushing towers in the game fall under this trope, but there are also several towers below that difficulty that can also fall into this.
