Conquer the Tempest: A Guide to "Where Wind Returns to Celestial Realms" in Honkai: Star Rail's Wuthering Waves
While the main storyline of Rinascita in Honkai: Star Rail's Wuthering Waves unfolds across the region, hidden gems await in optional exploration quests. "Where Wind Returns to Celestial Realms" is one such quest, challenging players to dispel a raging storm in Rinascita's northeastern corner. Though optional, completing this quest is highly recommended, especially considering a Nightmare Echo is trapped within the storm-ravaged ruins of Fagaceae Peninsula. Prepare for a substantial undertaking; equip your strongest Resonators and get ready for a lengthy adventure.
Quest Walkthrough:
This exploration quest is combat-intensive. Begin at the base of the ruins south of Shores of Last Breath, interacting with the damaged Lumiscale Construct. The quest objectives are:
- Activate three steles at designated locations.
- Return to and defeat the Lumiscale Construct.
- Pursue and defeat the Lumiscale Construct.
- Defeat the Lumiscale Construct (final encounter).
- Defeat the Dragon of Dirge.
Activating the Steles:
The Discipline Steles on the marked altars charge while standing on the central glowing circle. Enemies interrupting this process will hinder progress; eliminate them swiftly. Moving too far from the altar will cause energy depletion. Utilize the enhanced elemental damage and status effects introduced in the 2.0 update to your advantage. For the third stele set, position yourself strategically to activate them before enemy spawns. If interaction is difficult, adjust your character and camera angle until a prompt appears.
Pursuing and Defeating the Lumiscale Construct:
Use your strongest Resonators to defeat the Lumiscale Construct upon returning to the starting area. A cutscene will initiate after significantly reducing its health, prompting you to follow it deeper into the ruins. The environment becomes increasingly hazardous during the chase; be wary of falling debris and lightning strikes, eliminating all enemies encountered. A final confrontation with the Lumiscale Construct awaits, concluding this phase.
Confronting the Dragon of Dirge:
The Dragon of Dirge is a formidable opponent capable of one-shotting characters. Evade its breath attacks and falling stars, aiming for stuns. Prioritize stunning it after its powerful attacks. Victory unlocks access to Shores of Last Breath, including Dream Patrols and Nightmare Tempest Mephis in the northern arena.
Upon defeating the dragon, the quest concludes. Enjoy exploring the newly accessible areas of Shores of Last Breath!
