Conquer the Tempest: A Comprehensive Guide to "Where Wind Returns to Celestial Realms" in Honkai: Star Rail

While the main storyline in Rinascita, Wuthering Waves, unfolds across the region, several captivating locations are reserved for exploration quests. "Where Wind Returns to Celestial Realms" is one such quest, challenging players to subdue a formidable storm in Rinascita's northeastern reaches.

Although optional, completing this quest is highly recommended, especially considering a Nightmare Echo is trapped within Fagaceae Peninsula's storm-ravaged ruins. Prepare your strongest Resonators; this is a substantial undertaking.

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. Charge three steles at designated locations.
2. Return 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.

Charging 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. Moving too far from the altar will cause energy depletion.

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

For the third set of steles, strategically position yourself to activate them before enemy spawns. If interaction is proving difficult, adjust your character and camera angle until a prompt appears.

Chasing and Defeating the Lumiscale Construct

Utilize your strongest Resonators to attack the Lumiscale Construct upon returning to the starting area. A cutscene will initiate after significantly reducing its health, prompting pursuit deeper into the ruins.

The environment becomes increasingly hazardous during the chase. Beware of falling debris and lightning strikes, eliminating all enemies encountered. A final confrontation with the Lumiscale Construct awaits.

The Dragon of Dirge

This formidable foe can inflict devastating stuns and potentially one-shot characters. Evade its breath and falling star attacks, aiming for quick stuns. Prioritize stunning the dragon after its powerful attacks.

Victory over the dragon concludes the quest, unlocking access to Shores of Last Breath, including Dream Patrols and Nightmare Tempest Mephis in the northern arena.
