Rinascita in Wuthering Waves: Conquering the Tempest in "Where Wind Returns to Celestial Realms"
While the main storyline in Rinascita unfolds across the region, hidden gems await within optional exploration quests. "Where Wind Returns to Celestial Realms" is one such quest, challenging players to quell 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-wracked ruins of Fagaceae Peninsula. Prepare for a significant undertaking; equip your strongest Resonators and prepare for a challenging journey.
Quest Walkthrough:
This exploration quest is combat-heavy. Begin at the base of the ruins south of Shores of Last Breath, activating the broken Lumiscale Construct. The quest objectives are:
- Activate three steles at designated locations.
- Defeat the Lumiscale Construct (first encounter).
- Chase and defeat the Lumiscale Construct (second encounter).
- Defeat the Dragon of Dirge.
Activating the Steles:
Stand on the glowing circle at each altar to charge the Discipline Steles. Enemies interrupting this process will hinder progress; eliminate them swiftly. Moving 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 set, maneuver to position the broken pieces before enemy spawns. Adjust character and camera angles to reveal activation prompts if needed.
Chasing and Defeating the Lumiscale Construct:
Use your team's most powerful Resonators to attack the Lumiscale Construct upon returning to the starting area. A cutscene will initiate after significantly reducing its health, prompting you to pursue it deeper into the ruins. The environment becomes increasingly hazardous during the chase; beware falling debris, lightning strikes, and hostile enemies. A final confrontation with the Construct awaits, offering a chance for permanent defeat.
Confronting the Dragon of Dirge:
This formidable foe can easily incapacitate or even instantly defeat unprepared characters. Evade its breath attacks and falling star assaults, aiming for stuns whenever possible. Prioritize dodging its powerful attacks and capitalizing on opportunities to stun it.
Victory over the Dragon completes the quest, unlocking access to the remainder of Shores of Last Breath, including Dream Patrols and Nightmare Tempest Mephis in the northern arena.
