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

While the main storyline of Honkai: Star Rail's Rinascita region in Wuthering Waves unfolds across most of the area, hidden gems await in 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. This quest is highly recommended, especially considering a Nightmare Echo is trapped within the storm-ravaged Fagaceae Peninsula ruins. Prepare your strongest Resonators – this is a significant undertaking.

Where Wind Returns to Celestial Realms Walkthrough

This exploration quest is combat-heavy. 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 to and defeat the Lumiscale Construct.
3. Pursue and defeat the Lumiscale Construct.
4. Defeat the Lumiscale Construct (final encounter).
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 deplete its energy. Utilize the enhanced elemental damage and status effects introduced in the 2.0 update to your advantage. For the third stele set, quickly position them before enemy spawns. If you struggle to interact with the broken steles, adjust your character and camera angles until a prompt appears.

Pursuing and Defeating the Lumiscale Construct

Use your strongest Resonators to attack the Lumiscale Construct upon returning to the starting area. A cutscene will trigger after significantly reducing its health, prompting you to follow it deeper into the ruins. The environment becomes increasingly hazardous during the chase; be wary of falling debris and lightning strikes, eliminating any enemies encountered. The final confrontation with the Lumiscale Construct awaits.

Confronting the Dragon of Dirge

The Dragon of Dirge is a formidable foe capable of stunlocking or even one-shotting characters. Evade its breath attacks and falling stars, aiming for quick stuns. The optimal strategy involves waiting for its powerful attacks to conclude before attempting a stun.

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