Wuthering Waves Stygian Lacrimosa Quest Walkthrough
Find Jiuyue’s Backpack
After triggering the Stygian Lacrimosa quest, follow the navigation until you meet a researcher named Jiuyue. He’s the one who will follow the Rover on their quest to remove the sandstorm. To kick-start the removal of the sandstorm, you will first need to find his backpack, which will be hidden in front of a rock. Just head to the navigation location and look for a gray rock parallel to a tree.
His bag contains anUltrasonic Pulse Chip,which is a tool that Rover canequip to their Utilityand use during the quest. Players should be aware that the Stygian Lacrimosa quest will only unlock after completing When The Forest Is No Longer Dim andreaching Union Level 25.
Clear The Mud And Defeat Enemies
Once you have equipped the new device, you can begin to use it to cleanse the enemies of the buffs they gain from the mud. It will be hard todefeat all the Tacet Discords(TDs) as you make your way to the suppressors. The mud acts as a shield, so it’s a must to remove them, which you can do by clicking the button in the direction of the enemies. This will release a water vortex and destroy all enemies in the area.
Activate And Guard The Suppressors
There are three Suppressor Devices that players need to be activated as you come to the end of the quest, and the devices need to reach a 100% activation rate for the challenge to be completed. During the challenge,players will be faced with hoards of TDsthat will be attracted to the energy of the device. You need to actively be prepared whenever an enemy spawns as you have to kill it instantly. Taking too long will reset the challenge, and you’ll have to start over.
In addition to the enemies that will spawn, blobs of mud will also be thrown around the field. You will need to usethe Water Vortex from the Ultrasonic Pulse Chiptocleanse that as well. There will be instances where multiple puddles of mud will be thrown; you will need to angle your vortex attacks tohit all of them at oncesince it takes too long for the tool to cooldown and clear them one by one.
Restore The Mural
As you follow the navigation after completing the previous mission, remember to cleanse the mud along the way. You’ll then enter a cave and see a broken mural that needs to be restored. The pieces will be scattered in various orders for each player, so refer to the above image for clarification on what it should look like.
After this, you’ll gain access to the third suppressor and, upon completion, the energy field in the sandstorm will be released. Enter the field next andfight the boss that manifests.

Players should always dodge the minute it raises its wings - this is an indicator of a three-move attack that will deal significant damage to your resonator.
Rovers should alsocarry a healer in their partyjust to be safe. Sometime during the fight, the Rover will transform into an Avian TD as well and fly beside the Mourning Aix Boss. You’ll need to aim and shoot bullets at it to bring it down to finish the fight and bring the quest to an end.
