Where Wind Returns to Celestial Realms Walkthrough

This exploration quest is combat-heavy. Begin by interacting with the damaged Lumiscale Construct at the base of the ruins south of Shores of Last Breath. The quest objectives are:

1. Activate 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.

Activating 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 the energy to deplete. Utilize the enhanced elemental damage and status effects introduced in the 2.0 update to your advantage. For the third stele, maneuver it into position before enemy spawns. Adjust your character and camera angle until the interaction prompt appears.

Pursuing and Defeating the Lumiscale Construct

Use your team's most potent Resonators to attack the Lumiscale Construct upon returning to the starting area. A cutscene will initiate after significantly reducing its health, prompting you to follow it deeper into the ruins. The environment becomes increasingly hazardous during the chase; beware of falling debris and lightning strikes, eliminating any enemies encountered. A 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 star assaults, aiming for stuns whenever possible. Prioritize stunning the dragon after its powerful attacks.

Upon defeating the dragon, the quest concludes, granting access to the remaining areas of Shores of Last Breath, including Dream Patrols and Nightmare Tempest Mephis in the northern arena.
