I was exploring the stunning Rinascita region in Wuthering Waves Version 2.0, soaking in all the new Echoes and quests, when I stumbled upon a hidden gem—literally! It all started one sunny afternoon in Egla Town, just southeast of Ragunna City. As I wandered through Whisperwind Haven, I couldn't help but feel that itch for discovery, you know? That's when I spotted Claudia, an NPC artist painting by a cliff. Man, it was so cool to chat with her between 6:00 AM and 5:00 PM—she totally ghosts the place at night! She mentioned I reminded her of their Sentinel and handed me a painting, kicking off the quest. Little did I know, this would turn into one of my fave side adventures in the game.
🎨 Starting the Quest
After Claudia gifted me the painting, I had to find the real-world spot that inspired it—a tower south of her location. People often ask, "How do I locate hidden quests like this?" Well, it's all about exploring off the beaten path. I learned that many quests in Wuthering Waves aren't marked on the map, so you gotta keep your eyes peeled for NPCs in unusual spots. For this one, heading to the Resonance Beacon outside Egla Town was key. From there, I climbed the east steps until I reached a grassy cliff area. Claudia was there, brush in hand, and the dialogue flowed naturally. It felt immersive, like I was uncovering a secret story just for me. 🕵️♂️
🗺️ Finding the Tower Location
The painting showed a tower on a small island in Thorncrown Rises, within Thessaleo Fells. To get there, I used the Echo Challenge: Flight II teleport point—super handy for reaching the top quickly. But if you're starting from scratch, you can unlock the Command Rise point after the Shadow of the Towers quest. From the top, I glided down to the marked spot. Pro tip: The new Flight utility tool from Version 2.0 makes ascending a breeze! Once I stood on the exact location, a Standard Supply Chest popped up. Opening it gave me the 'Lost Glory' achievement, and the rewards were sweet—Echo fragments and rare materials. People also wonder, "What rewards can I expect from such quests?" In my experience, it's usually a mix of achievements, Echoes, and gear that boosts your builds. Here's a quick breakdown of the loot I got:
| Item | Quantity | Use |
|---|---|---|
| Echo Fragment | 5 | For enhancing Echoes |
| Rare Material | 3 | Crafting and upgrades |
| Currency | 200 | In-game purchases |
🌟 Personal Reflections and Future Outlook
Completing this quest was totally worth it—not just for the loot, but for the thrill of discovery. It reminded me why I love Wuthering Waves: the world feels alive with hidden stories. Looking ahead, I'm stoked for future updates. With Kuro Game hinting at more regions like this in 2025, I bet we'll see even cooler hidden quests. Personally, I hope they add AI-driven NPCs that remember your interactions—that would be next-level! For now, if you're stuck on quests like this, just remember: explore widely, chat with everyone, and don't skip the details. It's all part of the adventure. 👍
