Wuthering Waves: A Complete Whimpering Wastes Guide
The Whimpering Wastes is an exciting new game mode that made its debut in the Wuthering Waves 2.1 patch. This mode centers around using two teams, each consisting of six different resonators, to take on time - trial challenges. The faster you can vanquish the enemies in each stage, the more points you'll be able to earn.
Earning points in the Whimpering Wastes is highly rewarding. You can obtain a variety of valuable items such as Astrite, Resonance Potion, Shell Credits, Energy Core, Sealed Tubes, and more. For end - game players, the Whimpering Wastes offers a great alternative to the Tower of Adversity game mode, allowing them to showcase their top - tier teams. Here, we'll provide you with a quick overview of what to expect in the Whimpering Wastes, a guide on how to unlock the game mode, and the best teams to deploy.
How to Unlock Whimpering Wastes in Wuthering Waves
To gain access to the Whimpering Wastes game mode in Wuthering Waves, follow the tutorial quest named "Ocean is a Soul's Rest". This quest will teleport you to a Sonoro Sphere at the edge of Penitent's End. Once there, have a chat with Levito to learn more about the backstory behind this unique phenomenon and get started.
Upon entering the Sonoro Sphere, you'll encounter a host of mechanics that might seem a bit intimidating at first. However, the game mode is actually quite straightforward. You need to deploy two parties, each with six distinct Resonators, and pair a Token that suits each party's playstyle. Currently, the Whimpering Wastes has 12 stages, divided into three sections:
Forbidden Waters
- Stage 1: Siren's Bonyard
- Stage 2: Darkblight Ruins
- Stage 3: Mistbound Lair
- Stage 4: Weeping Walkway
- Stage 5: Starfall Expanse
- Stage 6: Burial Bay
Respawning Waters: Chasm
- Stage 7: Doomstrand
- Stage 8: Whirlpool
- Stage 9: Riptide
- Stage 10: Tempest
- Stage 11: Seabane
Respawning Waters: Torrents
- Stage 12: Infinite Torrents
All stages, except for Infinite Torrents, require you to reach a specific number of points to unlock the next stage. You can earn extra points to unlock rewards more quickly. To achieve the maximum number of points, you must eliminate multiple waves of enemies before the timer runs out.
While the stages in the Forbidden Waters are relatively easy to complete, the difficulty ramps up starting from Stage 7. This is where choosing the right token for each party can significantly impact your ability to clear the tough stages. Each stage also comes with a specific "Environment Report" that can enhance the performance of certain Resonators.
