Wuthering Waves: Where Wind Returns to Celestial Realms Walkthrough

Rinascita's Hidden Challenge: Where Wind Returns to Celestial Realms

While the main storyline in Honkai: Star Rail's Wuthering Waves expansion unfolds across Rinascita, some of the most rewarding content is tucked away in optional exploration quests. "Where Wind Returns to Celestial Realms" is a prime example, tasking players with dispelling a raging storm in the region's northeastern corner. Though optional, completing this quest is highly recommended, especially as it unlocks access to a Nightmare Echo within Fagaceae Peninsula's storm-ravaged ruins. Prepare for a significant challenge; bring your strongest Resonators!

Where Wind Returns to Celestial Realms Walkthrough

This quest is combat-heavy. Begin by interacting with the damaged Lumiscale Construct at the base of the ruins south of Shores of Last Breath. The quest objectives are:

1. Activate three Discipline Steles at designated locations.
2. Defeat the Lumiscale Construct (first encounter).
3. Chase and defeat the Lumiscale Construct (second encounter).
4. Defeat the Dragon of Dirge.

Activating the Steles

Stand on the glowing circle at the center of each altar to charge the Discipline Steles. Enemies will interrupt the charging process, so eliminate them swiftly. Stepping too far from the altar will cause its energy to deplete. Utilize the enhanced elemental damage and status effects introduced in the 2.0 update to your advantage. For the third stele, ensure you pull it into position before enemy spawns commence. If you're having trouble interacting with a broken stele, adjust your character and camera angles until a prompt appears.

Chasing and Defeating the Lumiscale Construct

Use your most powerful Resonators to defeat the Lumiscale Construct. A cutscene will trigger once its health is sufficiently low, prompting you to pursue it deeper into the ruins. The environment becomes increasingly hazardous during the chase; be wary of falling debris and lightning strikes, and eliminate all enemies encountered. A final confrontation with the Lumiscale Construct awaits.

Confronting the Dragon of Dirge

The Dragon of Dirge is a formidable foe capable of one-shotting unprepared characters. Evade its breath attacks and falling star strikes, prioritizing stuns. The optimal strategy involves waiting for its large-scale attacks to conclude before attempting a quick stun.

Victory over the Dragon of Dirge completes the quest, granting access to the remaining areas of Shores of Last Breath, including Dream Patrols and Nightmare Tempest Mephis in the northern arena.
