Unveiling the Celestial Odyssey of Wuthering Waves

Conquer the Tempest: A Complete Guide to "Where Wind Returns to Celestial Realms" in Honkai: Star Rail's Wuthering Waves

While Rinascita's main storyline unfolds across the region, hidden gems await within its exploration quests. "Where Wind Returns to Celestial Realms," a quest challenging players to quell a raging storm in Rinascita's northeast, is one such example. Although optional, completing this quest is highly recommended, especially considering a Nightmare Echo is trapped within Fagaceae Peninsula's stormy ruins. Prepare for an extended adventure; equip your strongest Resonators and get ready for a challenging journey.

Where Wind Returns to Celestial Realms Walkthrough

This exploration quest is combat-intensive. Begin at the base of the ruins south of Shores of Last Breath, activating the damaged Lumiscale Construct. The quest objectives are:

Energize three steles at designated locations.
Return to and defeat the Lumiscale Construct.
Pursue the Lumiscale Construct.
Defeat the Lumiscale Construct (again).
Defeat the Dragon of Dirge.

Energizing the Steles

The Discipline Steles on the marked altars gradually charge while standing on the central glowing circle. Enemies interrupting this process will hinder progress; eliminate them swiftly. Moving too far from the altar causes energy depletion.

Leverage the 2.0 update's enhanced elemental damage and status effects to your advantage during combat.

For the third stele set, quickly position them before enemy spawns. If struggling to interact with the broken steles, adjust your character and camera angle until a prompt appears.

Pursuing and Defeating the Lumiscale Construct

Utilize your team's most powerful Resonators to attack the Lumiscale Construct upon returning to the starting area. A cutscene triggers upon significantly reducing its health, prompting you to follow it deeper into the ruins.

The environment intensifies during the chase. Beware of falling debris and lightning strikes while eliminating enemies. A final confrontation with the Lumiscale Construct awaits, culminating in its defeat.

Confronting the Dragon of Dirge

This formidable foe can easily stunlock or one-shot characters. Evade its breath and falling star attacks, aiming for quick stuns. The optimal strategy involves patiently waiting for its attacks to conclude before attempting a swift stun.

Victory over the dragon completes the quest, unlocking access to Shores of Last Breath, including Dream Patrols and Nightmare Tempest Mephis in the northern arena.
