Reaching the Ancient Altar

Follow our comprehensive Death Howl walkthrough to navigate the Realm of Piercing Winds, defeat powerful spirits, and reach the Ancient Altar. Includes tips and strategies.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Enter the Realm of Piercing Winds through The Breathing Chasm, accessible from The Meadows of Delusions.
  2. 2
    Activate the first Sacred Grove in The Breathing Chasm to reveal the map. Collect crafting materials from a nearby cave.
  3. 3
    Undertake the 'Reap or Weep' side quest by speaking to a large creature. Retrieve its lost eyes from a hidden cave near the northwestern Sacred Grove. Loot the 'Bear Skull Totem' along the way. Speak to the Moose spirit for a free Teardrop point. Return the eyes to complete the quest and receive the 'Opal Totem'.
  4. 4
    Complete the 'Two-Headed Spear' hidden side quest by finding two 'Spear Head' quest cards. Combine them during a battle to form the Two-Headed Spear. Interact with an inscription rock to enter a cave, defeat enemies, and receive three Teardrop upgrade points.
  5. 5
    Proceed to The Hidden Vale, entering from the southwest Sacred Grove of The Breathing Chasm. Activate the first Sacred Grove in this new zone to reveal its map.
  6. 6
    Engage in 'The Laughing Face of Death' side quest by interacting with a Spirit near the Sacred Grove. Rest at the Sacred Grove multiple times to progress the quest dialogues.
Tips
  • Grind Death Howl before entering the Realm of Piercing Winds to unlock cards and Teardrop upgrades.
  • If a side quest battle is too difficult, discard the quest card and return later when stronger.
  • The Realm of Piercing Winds is split into three zones: The Breathing Chasm, The Hidden Vale, and The Glacial Maw.
  • You can enter the realm through either The Breathing Chasm or The Hidden Vale, both accessible from The Meadows of Delusions.

Completing side quests in the Realm of Piercing Winds rewards players with items like the 'Opal Totem' and 'Bear Skull Totem', as well as valuable Teardrop upgrade points.
