Head for the tower back by cliff!
From a videogame called Hunted: The Demon's Forge.
Elf E'lara and her partner is trying to destroy a catapult situated in some ruins before them. The plan is to break right, towards that tower and try to flank the catapult.
Then, on the field, the partner shouts: "E'lara, flank him! Head for the tower back by the cliff."
Can you explain what mean "back by the cliff?" Does it specify the verb, or mean that the tower is behind the cliff?
More facts: I play as E'lara. The cliff is right to me; there's steps around it and some ruins on top of it with a wooden bridge leading to the catapult. The catapult itself is surrounded by heavily damaged walls.
That is, I even can't recognize what and where the tower the partner speaks of is.

'Back' here can't mean 'in the place we were originally', definitely.
So, you think adverbial 'back by the cliff' is connected with the noun tower, not the verb head, right?
If so, then you say that the tower is situated beside the cliff, some distance away from it, right?
