Where Wind Returns to Celestial Realms Walkthrough

This quest is combat-intensive. 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 Discipline Steles at designated locations.
2. Return to and defeat the Lumiscale Construct.
3. Chase and defeat the Lumiscale Construct (again).
4. Defeat the Dragon of Dirge.

Activating the Steles

The Discipline Steles on the marked altars charge while standing on the central glowing circle. Enemies interrupting this process will slow progress, so eliminate them swiftly. Moving too far from the altar will cause the energy to deplete. Leverage the enhanced elemental damage and status effects introduced in the 2.0 update to your advantage. For the third stele set, quickly position them before enemy spawns. If you struggle to interact, adjust your character and camera angle until a prompt appears.

Chasing and Defeating the Lumiscale Construct

Use your strongest Resonators to defeat the Lumiscale Construct upon returning to the starting area. A cutscene will initiate once its health is low, prompting you to pursue it deeper into the ruins. The environment becomes increasingly hazardous; be wary of falling debris and lightning strikes while eliminating enemies. A final confrontation with the Lumiscale Construct awaits.

Confronting the Dragon of Dirge

The Dragon of Dirge is a formidable foe capable of one-shotting characters. Evade its breath attacks and falling stars, aiming for stuns. Prioritize stunning the dragon after dodging its major attacks. Victory unlocks access to Shores of Last Breath, including Dream Patrols and Nightmare Tempest Mephis in the northern arena.
