Where Wind Returns to Celestial Realms Walkthrough

This exploration quest is combat-intensive. Begin at the ruins' base, south of Shores of Last Breath, interacting with the damaged Lumiscale Construct. The quest objectives are:

1. Energize three steles at designated locations.
2. Return to and defeat the Lumiscale Construct.
3. Pursue the Lumiscale Construct.
4. Defeat the Lumiscale Construct (final encounter).
5. Defeat the Dragon of Dirge.

Energizing the Steles

Stand on the glowing circle at each marked altar to charge the Discipline Steles. Enemies interrupting this process will slow progress, so eliminate them swiftly. Moving too far from an altar will cause its energy to deplete. Utilize the 2.0 update's enhanced elemental damage and status effects to your advantage. For the third stele set, quickly position them before enemy spawns. If you struggle to interact with broken steles, adjust your character and camera angle 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 triggers after significantly reducing its health, prompting you to follow it deeper into the ruins. The environment becomes increasingly hazardous; navigate falling debris and lightning while eliminating enemies. A final confrontation with the Construct awaits.

Confronting the Dragon of Dirge

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