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 damaged Lumiscale Construct. The quest objectives are:
- Charge three Discipline Steles at designated locations.
- Return to and defeat the Lumiscale Construct.
- Chase and defeat the Lumiscale Construct (again).
- 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 hinder progress; eliminate them swiftly. Moving too far from the altar will cause energy depletion.
Utilize the 2.0 update's enhanced elemental damage and status effects to your advantage in combat. For the third stele set, quickly position them before enemy spawns. If grabbing the broken steles proves difficult, adjust your character and camera angles until a prompt appears.
Chasing and Defeating the Lumiscale Construct
Using your strongest Resonators, engage the Lumiscale Construct upon returning to the starting area. A cutscene will trigger after significantly reducing its health, prompting you to pursue it deeper into the ruins.
The environment becomes increasingly hazardous during the chase. Beware falling debris and lightning strikes, eliminating all enemies encountered. A final confrontation with the Lumiscale Construct awaits, concluding this phase.
The Dragon of Dirge
This formidable foe can inflict devastating stuns and one-shot attacks. Evade its breath and falling star attacks, prioritizing stuns. The optimal strategy is to wait for its major attacks to end before attempting a quick stun.
Defeating the Dragon of Dirge completes the quest, granting access to the remaining areas of Shores of Last Breath, including Dream Patrols and Nightmare Tempest Mephis in the northern arena.
