"Where Wind Returns to Celestial Realms," located in Rinascita's northeast, challenges players to subdue a powerful storm.

Prepare for a challenging journey; equip your strongest Resonators.
Where Wind Returns to Celestial Realms Walkthrough
This quest is combat-heavy. Begin at the ruined structure south of Shores of Last Breath, interacting with the damaged Lumiscale Construct. The objectives are:
- Energize three steles at designated locations.
- Return and defeat the Lumiscale Construct.
- Pursue and defeat the Lumiscale Construct.
- Defeat the Lumiscale Construct (final encounter).
- Defeat the Dragon of Dirge.
Energizing the Steles
Stand on the glowing circle at each altar to charge the Discipline Steles. Enemies interrupt the charging process; eliminate them swiftly. Moving too far from an altar causes energy depletion. Utilize the enhanced elemental damage and status effects introduced in the 2.0 update to your advantage. The third stele requires repositioning before enemy spawns; adjust your character and camera angle to activate the interaction prompt.
Chasing and Defeating the Lumiscale Construct
Use your strongest Resonators to attack the Lumiscale Construct. A cutscene triggers upon significantly reducing its health, prompting pursuit deeper into the ruins. Beware of falling debris and lightning strikes while eliminating enemies. The final confrontation with the Construct occurs further within the ruins.
Confronting the Dragon of Dirge
The Dragon of Dirge is a formidable foe capable of stunlocking or one-shotting characters. Evade its breath attacks and falling star assaults, prioritizing stuns. Strategically wait for attacks to end before initiating your own offensive. Victory unlocks access to Shores of Last Breath, including Dream Patrols and Nightmare Tempest Mephis.
