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:
- Charge three steles at designated locations.
- Return and defeat the Lumiscale Construct.
- Chase and defeat the Lumiscale Construct.
- Defeat the Dragon of Dirge.
Charging the Steles
Stand on the glowing circle at each altar to charge the Discipline Steles. Enemies interrupting this process will slow progress, so eliminate them swiftly. Moving too far from the altar will cause energy depletion. Version 2.0's elemental damage enhancements are invaluable here.
For the third stele, quickly position it before enemy spawns. If you struggle to interact, adjust your character and camera angle until a prompt appears.
Chasing and Defeating the Lumiscale Construct
Utilize your strongest Resonators to defeat the Lumiscale Construct upon your return to the starting area. A cutscene will trigger upon significantly lowering its health, prompting you to pursue 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, culminating in its permanent defeat.
The Dragon of Dirge
This formidable foe can easily stunlock or one-shot characters. Evade its breath and falling star attacks, aiming for quick stuns. Prioritize dodging its powerful attacks and capitalize on stun opportunities.
Victory over the dragon completes the quest, unlocking access to Shores of Last Breath, including Dream Patrols and Nightmare Tempest Mephis in the northern arena.
