While Rinascita's main storyline unfolds across the region, intriguing side quests offer deeper exploration. "Where Wind Returns to Celestial Realms," located in Rinascita's northeastern reaches, challenges players to dispel a powerful storm. This optional quest is highly recommended, especially considering a Nightmare Echo is trapped within Fagaceae Peninsula's stormy ruins. Prepare for a substantial challenge; equip your strongest Resonators.
Where Wind Returns to Celestial Realms Walkthrough
This exploration quest is combat-heavy. Begin at the ruined Lumiscale Construct south of Shores of Last Breath. The quest objectives are:
- Activate three steles at designated locations.
- Return and defeat the Lumiscale Construct.
- Chase and defeat the Lumiscale Construct.
- Defeat the Dragon of Dirge.
Activating the Steles
Stand on the glowing circle at each altar to charge the Discipline Steles. Enemies interrupting the process will slow progress; eliminate them swiftly. Moving too far from the altar will cause energy depletion.
Utilize the 2.0 update's enhanced elemental damage and status effects to your advantage.
For the third stele set, quickly maneuver them into position before enemy spawns. If interaction is difficult, adjust character and camera angles until a prompt appears.
Chasing and Defeating the Lumiscale Construct
Use your team's strongest Resonators to defeat the Construct near the starting area. A cutscene will trigger, prompting you to pursue it deeper into the ruins.
The environment intensifies as you chase the Construct. Beware of falling debris and lightning strikes, eliminating all enemies encountered. A final confrontation awaits; defeat the Construct permanently.
The Dragon of Dirge Encounter
This formidable foe can inflict heavy damage, potentially one-shotting characters. Evade its breath attacks and falling stars, aiming for quick stuns. Prioritize dodging powerful attacks and capitalizing on stun opportunities.
Victory over the Dragon completes the quest, unlocking access to Shores of Last Breath, including Dream Patrols and Nightmare Tempest Mephis in the northern arena.
