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 dispel a massive storm in Rinascita's northeastern corner.
This optional quest is highly recommended, especially considering a Nightmare Echo is trapped within Fagaceae Peninsula's stormy ruins. Prepare your strongest Resonators – this is a substantial undertaking.
Where Wind Returns to Celestial Realms Walkthrough
This exploration quest is combat-heavy. Begin at the ruined base south of Shores of Last Breath, interacting with the damaged Lumiscale Construct. The quest objectives are:
- Activate three steles at designated locations.
- Return to and defeat the Lumiscale Construct.
- Chase and defeat the Lumiscale Construct.
- Defeat the Dragon of Dirge.
Activating 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 deplete its energy.
Utilize the enhanced elemental damage and status effects introduced in the 2.0 update to your advantage.
The third stele set requires repositioning before enemy spawns. If interaction is difficult, adjust character and camera angles until a prompt appears.
Chasing and Defeating the Lumiscale Construct
Use your team's most powerful Resonators to attack the Lumiscale Construct after returning to the starting area. A cutscene will trigger upon significantly lowering its health, 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, eliminating all enemies. A final confrontation with the Lumiscale Construct awaits.
The Dragon of Dirge
This formidable foe can easily stunlock or one-shot characters. Evade its breath and falling star attacks, aiming for stuns. Prioritize stunning the dragon after its major attacks.
Defeating the dragon completes the quest, unlocking access to the rest of Shores of Last Breath, including Dream Patrols and Nightmare Tempest Mephis in the northern arena.
