How to Unlock Flight in Wuthering Waves

To spread your wings in Wuthering Waves, you first need to complete a key story quest titled The Sacred Breeze So Often Breathes. This isn’t your run-of-the-mill fetch quest; it’s an essential part of the game’s narrative where you’ll team up with Zani from the Montelli family to explore the bustling city of Ragunna. Don’t sweat it if narrative isn’t your jam; just keep spamming that skip button until you reach the Order of the Deep!

Once you step into this mystical temple, you’ll unlock the Flight mechanic. However, don’t get too excited just yet! You won’t be able to take off immediately, as the game has certain spatial restrictions in place—or more like, no suitable spaces for flying just yet.

Getting Off the Ground: How to Fly

Now that you’ve tackled that quest, it’s time to learn how to fly like a pro! Here are the main criteria to hit the skies:

  • High Elevation: You need to be at a significant height—think of the edge of a cliff or the rooftop of a tower.
  • In Rinascita: The Flight mechanic is region-locked, so you’ll have to explore the vibrant landscapes of Rinascita to make the most of it.

Once you’re at an appropriate elevation, your utility tool—which you usually use for grapple or scan—will magically transform into a Wings tool. Jump off that ledge, hit your utility button, and voila! You’re now gliding through the skies!

Pro Tip: You can also bind the Flight mechanic to your Utility Wheel for easier access. Just hit Tab or D-Pad Left to pull up your wheel, but remember that those elevation requirements still apply!

Flight Techniques: Maximizing Your Air Time

When you’re soaring through the skies, there are a few nifty tricks you can use:

  • Dive for Speed: Want to pick up the pace? Simply dive to gain momentum.
  • Ascend with Momentum: Can’t rise without enough speed? Stay steady and use Ultra Flight, which allows for unrestricted flying—albeit at the cost of your flight stamina. Don’t fret; your standard Stamina remains unaffected!

Ultra Flight is conveniently bound to your Sprint/Dodge button, giving you an extra boost when you need it the most!

Conclusion

There you have it! Mastering the Flight mechanic in Wuthering Waves not only enhances your traversal experience but also opens up new avenues for exploration. Just remember, while the skies are yours to roam, always keep an eye on your elevation and the limitations of each region.

So, are you excited to take to the air and explore all that Rinascita has to offer? Grab your controller, complete that quest, and let’s get ready to fly! If you want to stay updated on all things Wuthering Waves, make sure to follow our latest guides and tips!
