Dream Patrols in Wuthering Waves offer engaging combat challenges, with varying levels of difficulty. While most are straightforward, some like the Knight in a Storm can be tricky, especially if players are unsure about the specific mechanics involved.
The Knight in a Storm Dream Patrol stands out as particularly enigmatic. Although defeating the enemy itself is manageable, achieving all objectives to unlock all chests and gather valuable resources like Astrites and Monnaie requires a thorough understanding of the challenge. Here's a detailed guide to help you master this Dream Patrol.
How to Finish Dream Patrol: Knight in a Storm
You can locate the Knight in a Storm Dream Patrol at the Shores of Last Breath in the Fagaceae Peninsula, east of Ragunna City. The challenge is marked by a crossed swords icon on your map, which becomes visible once you activate the Resonance Nexus in the area. The quickest route is to teleport to the nearby Tacet Field, known for dropping the new Sonata set for Carlotta builds. Note that access to this area is unlocked after completing the "Where Wind Returns to Celestial Realms" quest.
The Questless Knight in this Dream Patrol follows combat patterns similar to those found in Rinascita, making it relatively easy to defeat. However, to fully complete the challenge and earn all rewards, you must meet the following objectives:
- Reach Battle Rank S for more than 10 seconds: Increase your Battle Rank by executing perfect dodges, parries, and using abilities, including Intro/Outro skills.
- Perform 3 Counterattacks that interrupt the knight's weapon enhancement: Parry the knight's attacks when its weapon is buffed.
- Immobilize an enemy with Resonance Liberation DMG: Use your character's ultimate to stun the knight by depleting the white bar under its health bar.
Countering the Knight's Enhanced Weapon
During the battle, the knight will summon three swords and choose one to enhance its weapon. When this happens, it will execute aerial lunge attacks, providing the perfect opportunity for a counterattack. When the parry indicators over the knight overlap, strike with one of your attacks to successfully counter. You need to do this three times to complete the challenge.
If you're using Carlotta in Wuthering Waves, you can parry the knight's attacks using her jump attack or any rifle shot. Carlotta can fire rifle shots during her Resonance Liberation and whenever she has stacks of Molded Crystal (indicated by the crystal-shaped icon next to her).
