Wuthering Waves: Where Wind Returns to Celestial Realms Walkthrough

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

While the main storyline in Honkai: Star Rail's Rinascita region within Wuthering Waves unfolds across most of the area, hidden gems await within optional exploration quests. "Where Wind Returns to Celestial Realms" is one such quest, challenging players to subdue a powerful storm in Rinascita's northeastern region.

Though optional, completing this quest is highly recommended, especially considering a Nightmare Echo is trapped within Fagaceae Peninsula's storm-ravaged ruins. Prepare your strongest Resonators; this is a substantial undertaking.

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:

1. Energize three steles at designated locations.
2. Return and defeat the Lumiscale Construct.
3. Pursue the Lumiscale Construct.
4. Defeat the Lumiscale Construct (again).
5. Defeat the Dragon of Dirge.

Energizing 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.

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

For the third stele set, strategically position yourself to activate them before enemy spawns. If you're having trouble interacting, adjust your character and camera angles until a prompt appears.

Chasing and Defeating the Lumiscale Construct

Utilize your team's most potent Resonators to attack the Lumiscale Construct upon your return to the starting area. A cutscene will initiate once its health is sufficiently low, prompting you to follow it deeper into the ruins.

The environment intensifies during the chase; navigate falling debris and lightning while eliminating enemies. A final confrontation with the Lumiscale Construct awaits, concluding this phase.

The Dragon of Dirge

This formidable foe can easily stunlock or even one-shot characters. Evade its breath attacks and falling stars, aiming for stuns as quickly as possible. Prioritize dodging its major attacks and capitalizing on stun opportunities.

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