While the main storyline of Rinascita in Wuthering Waves unfolds across most of the region, the truly fascinating locales are often tucked away in exploration quests. One such quest, "Where Wind Returns to Celestial Realms," takes players on a thrilling journey to dispel a massive storm in the northeastern part of Rinascita.

Although this quest is optional, it's essential for unlocking one of the Nightmare Echoes hidden within the tempest-ridden ruins of Fagaceae Peninsula. Prepare for a lengthy adventure, so equip your strongest Resonators and get ready for an extended journey.

Where Wind Returns to Celestial Realms Walkthrough

This exploration quest is packed with combat. Begin by heading to the ruins south of Shores of Last Breath and interact with the broken Lumiscale Construct on the ground. Here's what you need to do:

1. Charge three steles in the designated areas.
2. Return to and defeat the Lumiscale Construct.
3. Chase after the Lumiscale Construct.
4. Defeat the Lumiscale Construct.
5. Defeat the Dragon of Dirge.

Charging the Steles

The Discipline Steles on the altars will charge as long as you stand on the glowing circle in the center. If enemies enter the circle, it will disrupt the charging process, so quickly eliminate them to maintain efficiency. Stepping away from the altar for too long will cause the energy to drain.

The 2.0 update enhanced elemental damage and status effects, so leverage these in your battles. For the third set of steles, you'll need to move them into position before enemies spawn. If you struggle to grab the broken steles, adjust your character and camera until a prompt appears on the steles.

Chase and Defeat the Lumiscale Construct

Return to the starting area using the Wingray, and unleash your strongest Resonators on the Lumiscale Construct. Once its health is sufficiently depleted, a cutscene will trigger, and you'll need to follow it deeper into the ruins.

As you pursue the construct, the environment will become increasingly hazardous. Dodge falling debris and lightning while eliminating enemies in your path. Eventually, you'll confront the Lumiscale Construct again and can defeat it for good.

The Dragon of Dirge

This formidable foe can be deadly, capable of stunning or even one-shotting your characters. Be wary of its breath and falling star attacks, and aim to stagger it quickly. The best strategy is to wait out its major attacks and stun it as soon as possible.

Once the dragon is vanquished, the quest will conclude, granting access to the rest of Shores of Last Breath. This includes all Dream Patrols in the area and the Nightmare Tempest Mephis in the large arena at the peninsula's northern tip.
