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 broken Lumiscale Construct. The quest objectives are:

1. Energize three steles at designated locations.
2. Return to 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 to maximize charging efficiency. Moving too far from the altar will cause the energy to deplete.

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

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.

Chasing and Defeating the Lumiscale Construct

Utilize your team's most potent Resonators to attack the Lumiscale Construct upon returning 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 grows increasingly hazardous during the chase. Beware of falling debris and lightning strikes, eliminating all enemies encountered. A final confrontation with the Lumiscale Construct awaits, culminating in its defeat.

The Dragon of Dirge

This formidable foe can inflict devastating stuns and one-shot attacks. Evade its breath and falling star attacks, prioritizing stuns whenever possible. Strategic evasion of powerful attacks followed by swift stuns is the most effective strategy.

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.
