I need ideas for unique traps, and obstacles in vertical passages and corridors. And the way rooms and chambers would be arranged. I'm low on creativity, and just need a boost. I appreciate any help.

For a twist, you could have some rooms have magic traps that change gravity so you walk along the walls. Spikes along the floors and ceiling may be a place to push enemies or a hazard the enemies use against the PCs, but when the gravity shifts back again, PCs'll have to find a floor or ceiling to stand on. Make such a chamber self-contained, starting and ending with the same gravity, so you don't have to plan what happens when the PCs enter the next room with a gravity for which you didn't plan. Basically have 2 room maps: a side view and a top-down view, both gridded, then you'll know how far people fall when someone hits the button. When an explosion or some climbing monster/hazard scales the tower from below the party, they'll have to make it thru rooms under a round-limit (play-test this by yourself to reach a good limit). They can set up traps to halt the creature's advance for a round, and when they reach some point, they can chop loose an elevator or hanging weight to crush the beast or create a barrier between them.

Once all statues are merged into one then passages open up between them and the characters can all run up to the main control room in the head. Then they could control the collossal statue and use it to do battle with other giant beasts and constructs.
