Quest Description

To stop Stormterror's siege, you must venture out and eliminate the elemental flows left within the ruined Temples of the Four Winds. Amber is waiting for you at the Temple of the Falcon.
(Talk to Amber)
Media:vo mdaq027 2 ambor 01.ogg Amber: This is it. One of the deserted temples of The Four Winds.
Media:vo mdaq027 2 ambor 02.ogg Amber: These temples have been left to waste for years now. The people of Mondstadt almost never come here.
Media:vo mdaq027 2 ambor 03.ogg Amber: There's a chance there's a monster nest or a hilichurl camp inside.
Media:vo mdaq027 2 ambor 04.ogg Amber: Even Stormterror has given up on its own temple.
"Stormterror..."?
Wait, did you just say "its own temple..."?
Media:vo mdaq027 2 ambor 05.ogg Amber: ...Yes.
Media:vo mdaq027 2 ambor 06.ogg Amber: I also find it hard to accept, but... Stormterror was once one of The Four Winds.
Media:vo mdaq027 2 paimon 01.ogg Paimon: Ehhhh!?
Media:vo mdaq027 2 ambor 07.ogg Amber: Wait... Did you just feel that?
Media:vo mdaq027 2 ambor 08.ogg Amber: The wind here... Something's off...
Media:vo mdaq027 2 ambor 09.ogg Amber: Let's go in and take a look, (TravelerTraveler). Be careful, the dragon's power is disturbing this area.
(Talk to Amber again)
Media:vo dialog mdaq027 ambor 01.ogg Amber: Everyone in Mondstadt is still getting blown about by the storm...
Media:vo dialog mdaq027 ambor 02.ogg Amber: Every second we waste is a mark against the name of Favonius. Let's get in that temple, stat!

(Approach the door)
Media:vo mdaq028 4 ambor 01.ogg Amber: You can use that console to open the door.
(Enter the next room)
Media:vo mdaq028 4 ambor 02.ogg Amber: Wow! I can see so far into the temple!
(After defeating a hilichurl)
Media:vo mdaq028 4 ambor 03.ogg Amber: Oh no! A horn!
Media:vo mdaq028 4 ambor 04.ogg Amber: The fighting must have got them riled up.
Media:vo mdaq028 4 ambor 05.ogg Amber: Well, good thing I've prepared my secret weapon: Explosive Puppet "Baron Bunny"!
(Enter the next room)
Media:vo mdaq028 4 ambor 06.ogg Amber: Are those explosive barrels over there?
Media:vo mdaq028 4 ambor 07.ogg Amber: Well... One shot should be able to blow them up!
(Approach the chasm)
Media:vo mdaq028 4 ambor 08.ogg Amber: It's so high... Seems like there's something up there.
Media:vo mdaq028 4 paimon 02.ogg Paimon: But how do we get across?
Media:vo mdaq028 4 paimon 03.ogg Paimon: Isn't this... a Pyro Monument?
Media:vo mdaq028 4 paimon 04.ogg Paimon: If we hit it with a powerful Pyro attack, we might trigger it!
(Reaching the end)
Media:vo mdaq028 5 ambor 01.ogg Amber: Dragon's breath! Is that where the power is coming from?
Media:vo mdaq028 5 ambor 02.ogg Amber: Great, let's smash it!
(After destroying Stormterror's crystal)
Media:vo mdaq028 5 ambor 03.ogg Amber: Phew, I'm tired.
Media:vo mdaq028 5 ambor 04.ogg Amber: But, at least this way we've helped Jean out.
Media:vo mdaq028 5 ambor 05.ogg Amber: In the past, we were at least able to defend the city and keep it safe.
Media:vo mdaq028 5 ambor 06.ogg Amber: This, of course, is mostly thanks to Jean.
Media:vo mdaq028 5 ambor 07.ogg Amber: But now with Stormterror directly attacking the city itself...
Media:vo mdaq028 5 ambor 08.ogg Amber: "The winds change, so too should our tactics."
Sounds deep.
Did you come up with it?
Media:vo mdaq028 5 ambor 09.ogg Amber: It's what Lisa likes to say.
Media:vo mdaq028 5 ambor 10.ogg Amber: Speaking of which, The Four Winds we were discussing earlier...
Media:vo mdaq028 5 ambor 11.ogg Amber: If you want to learn more about our history, you can ask Lisa.
Media:vo mdaq028 5 ambor 12.ogg Amber: ...I'm not saying I don't know our history! It's just...
Media:vo mdaq028 5 ambor 13.ogg Amber: I mean... A librarian is supposed to be more knowledgeable than an Outrider, right?

(After leaving the temple — if this is the third temple that has been cleared, the skies clear up)
Media:vo mdaq035 3b paimon 01.ogg Paimon: Phew, it's finally done.
Media:vo mdaq035 3b paimon 02.ogg Paimon: Well, all that "ley flow" and "elemental lines" stuff Lisa was going on about should hopefully be back to normal.
Media:vo mdaq035 3b paimon 03.ogg Paimon: Wanna go back and see how the Knights are doing?
Media:vo mdaq035 3b paimon 04.ogg Paimon: But if you got anything more interesting to do, Paimon can come too!
Media:vo mdaq035 3b paimon 05.ogg Paimon: By the way, we obtained another Anemoculus in one of The Four Winds' temples, right?
Media:vo mdaq035 3b paimon 06.ogg Paimon: We might come across more of them in the future, so don't forget to offer them to the Statues!

Tutorial[]

Winds of the Past
Amber has the ability to aim and shoot. While aiming, her arrows will accumulate charge. Once fully charged, the arrow will be imbued with Pyro.

Use Pyro Skills to ignite combustible objects.

Use Elemental Sight to see the elemental attributes of different objects. Each element has its own color.

Green symbolizes Dendro, which can be ignited by Pyro.

Opponents' wooden shields are attributed to Dendro, which can be ignited with Pyro Skills, rendering them defenseless.
