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:

1. Charge 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.

Charging 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 energy depletion. Version 2.0's elemental damage enhancements are invaluable here. For the third stele set, quickly position them before enemy spawns. A button prompt will appear on the steles when they're ready to be manipulated.

Chasing and Defeating the Lumiscale Construct

Use your strongest Resonators to defeat the Lumiscale Construct. A cutscene will trigger upon reaching a low health threshold, initiating the chase deeper into the ruins. 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 unprepared characters. Avoid its breath attacks and falling stars, aiming for stuns to interrupt its assaults. Prioritize dodging powerful attacks and creating stun opportunities.

Upon defeating the Dragon of Dirge, the quest concludes. Access to Shores of Last Breath opens up, including Dream Patrols and Nightmare Tempest Mephis in the northern arena.
