Conquer the Tempest: A Complete Guide to "Where Wind Returns to Celestial Realms" in Honkai: Star Rail's Wuthering Waves
While the main storyline in Rinascita, Wuthering Waves, covers most of the region, hidden gems await within optional exploration quests.

This quest is crucial for accessing a Nightmare Echo within the Fagaceae Peninsula's stormy ruins. Prepare your strongest Resonators; this is a significant undertaking.
Where Wind Returns to Celestial Realms Walkthrough
This exploration quest is combat-heavy. Begin at the ruined base south of Shores of Last Breath, activating the broken Lumiscale Construct. The quest objectives are:
- Activate three Discipline Steles at designated locations.
- Defeat the Lumiscale Construct (first encounter).
- Pursue and defeat the Lumiscale Construct (second encounter).
- Defeat the Dragon of Dirge.
Activating the Steles
Stand within the glowing circle on each marked 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. The final stele requires repositioning before enemy spawns; adjust your character and camera angle until a prompt appears.
Chasing and Defeating the Lumiscale Construct
Use your team's most powerful Resonators to defeat the Lumiscale Construct. A cutscene will initiate after significantly reducing its health, prompting you to follow it deeper into the ruins. The environment becomes more hazardous during the chase, with falling debris and lightning strikes. Eliminate any enemies encountered. A final confrontation awaits, allowing you to permanently defeat the Construct.
Confronting the Dragon of Dirge
The Dragon of Dirge is a formidable opponent capable of one-shotting characters. Avoid its breath and falling star attacks, prioritizing stuns. Wait for its powerful attacks to end before attempting to stun it.
Victory over the Dragon of Dirge 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.
