This guide details the "Where Wind Returns to Celestial Realms" exploration quest in Honkai: Star Rail's Wuthering Waves region. While optional, completing this quest is crucial for accessing a Nightmare Echo. Prepare for a challenging fight; strong Resonators are recommended.
Quest Walkthrough
Begin at the ruined structure south of Shores of Last Breath. Interact with the broken Lumiscale Construct. The quest involves these steps:
- Charge Three Steles: Activate three Discipline Steles located in marked areas. Stand on the central glowing circle of each altar to charge it. Enemies will interrupt charging; eliminate them swiftly. Stepping away from the altar will deplete its energy. The third stele requires manipulation to pull it into position before enemy spawns.
Utilize elemental damage and status effects effectively, as enhanced in the 2.0 update.
-
Initial Lumiscale Construct Defeat: Use your strongest Resonators to defeat the Lumiscale Construct. A cutscene will trigger after significantly reducing its health.
-
Chase and Final Lumiscale Construct Defeat: Follow the Lumiscale Construct deeper into the ruins. Navigate hazardous environmental effects (falling debris, lightning) and defeat enemies along the way. Engage and defeat the Lumiscale Construct again in its new location.
- Dragon of Dirge Encounter: Confront the Dragon of Dirge, a formidable foe capable of one-shotting characters. Avoid its breath and falling star attacks, prioritizing stuns to disrupt its attacks. Strategically evade large attacks and capitalize on stun opportunities.
Upon defeating the Dragon of Dirge, the quest concludes. Access to Shores of Last Breath, including Dream Patrols and Nightmare Tempest Mephis, is now unlocked.
