Penitent's End, an enigmatic island in Wuthering Waves, is draped in dense mist and characterized by towering cliffs adorned with colossal ringed structures. Rovers exploring this region uncover ancient ruins housing treasure chests, but many are locked behind intricate challenges like the Ruins Where Shadows Roam. These trials are tied to the 'Quest of Faith,' requiring players to locate and conquer four distinct ruins by defeating shadow enemies and solving environmental puzzles to unlock valuable chests and boost exploration progress. 🔍 The island's haunting beauty hides formidable foes that test combat skills and strategic thinking.
First Ruins Where Shadows Roam
Located south of Figurehead's Shrine, the first ruin is accessible by teleporting to the Resonance Beacon near the region's sole Resonance Nexus. Upon arrival, Rovers trigger a dialogue with Abby, initiating the Quest of Faith and revealing the ruin's presence. At the ruin's edge, players find a glowing spot prompting them to 'Examine the etchings on the ground.' Interacting summons a Tacet Discord enemy in a Shadow state, rendering it immune to attacks. To overcome this, Rovers must lure the foe into the light of surrounding Macabre Torches, dispelling the Shadow state and making it vulnerable. After victory, a Journal Page I appears, yielding a Standard Supply Chest. 💡 This initial challenge sets the tone for the series, emphasizing agility and environmental awareness.
Second Ruins Where Shadows Roam
Southwest of the first site, the second ruin features a single Fae Ignis Echo but no active Macabre Torches. Players must utilize the Fae Ignis's fire-creating ability to ignite the torches, as only then will the shadow enemy spawn. Once engaged, the strategy remains consistent: lure the Tacet Discord into the torchlight to nullify its immunity. Successfully defeating the enemy rewards players with progression insights. ⚔️ Mastering this requires quick reflexes to harness elemental powers effectively.
Third Ruins Where Shadows Roam
Positioned west of Fool's Elysium, this arena escalates in difficulty with only one Macabre Torch and a solitary Fae Ignis Echo. The boss appears immediately, forcing Rovers to evade attacks while igniting the torch. If the flame extinguishes during battle—triggered when the enemy's HP drops—a new Fae Ignis respawns nearby, allowing players to reignite the torch. 😅 This dynamic adds layers of complexity, demanding multitasking and endurance.
Fourth Ruins Where Shadows Roam
The final ruin lies far north of the Dragon of Dirge boss, presenting the toughest challenge with multiple shadow enemies. Initially, torches ignite spontaneously, spawning foes one by one. However, after all three emerge, they actively extinguish flames at low HP, necessitating the use of three Fae Ignis Echoes to reignite them. Players should prepare a balanced team with a healer for survivability in this prolonged battle. 🏆 Upon victory, reading the last Journal Page grants a Premium Supply Chest and unlocks the 'We're All Alone' achievement plus Dream Patrol Challenges.
