Important icons and things players should note when exploring the Wuthering Waves map includes:
Resonance Nexuses and Resonance Beacons are special checkpoints on the wuthering wave map that allows players to pinpoint an exact location on the map once unlocked and grants players the ability to teleport directly to them, allowing for fast travel to an important region. Resonance Nexuses also provide players with a full party heal and revive when teleporting to them, making them very useful for exploration.
In order to unlock these nexus and beacons, players will need to find and activate them while exploring the world. Upon activating, these nexuses and beacons will provide a 1 time Astrite reward and will be available permanently afterward. Please keep in mind that some of these nexuses and beacons can be underground as well.
Alongside the different Resonance Nexuses and Resonance Beacons that players can find all over the game’s map, players will also find special areas that allow them to obtain character upgrading materials needed for progressing in the game. These special areas are marked on the map with a blue battle mark and can be found on the map by exploring and finding the different domain doors.
Once discovered, the domains will be available permanently and players can directly teleport to them when they need to farm materials for the different character skills and ascension. Each of these domains contains a trial that players will need to overcome, mostly concerning defeating a set number of enemies within a time period with various different buffs and effects. Upon finishing the challenges, players can choose to spend their waveplates in order to obtain the rewards from the domains.
Another important area players should pay attention to if they want to upgrade their resonators are the Tacet Fields. These fields are scattered across the map and are marked with the monster symbols. Once discovered, these areas will constantly spawn a number of Echoes for players to fight. Once defeated, you can spend a number of waveplates in order to obtain Echoes from these Tacet Fields to build your resonators to your heart’s content.
In addition to the Material Domains and Tacet Fields, when traveling on the map, players will be able to see special icons related to different special high level bosses on the openworld that they can challenge, these are known as Overlord class Echoes. Overlord Class Echoes are 4 cost echoes that appears as overworld bosses for players to fight in order to obtain the Echoes and special resonator ascension materials upon defeating them.
The Overlord Class Echoes are marked on the map with their image icons and can be challenged as many times as possible on the overworld map by finding and going near them to trigger the fights. The fights will reset every 1 minute after you defeat the Echo.
The other type of powerful Echoes you can challenge is known as the Calamity Class Echoes. These Echoes are contained within special domains that players can trigger and claim rewards up to 3 times a week, making them function similarly to weekly bosses that players can challenge. Upon defeating the Calamity Class Echoes, some Calamity Class Echoes will drop their Echoes as rewards, while others will offer players special Character Skill Upgrading materials that are essential to max the skills of resonators at higher levels.
Aside from the different resonator upgrading areas that players can see directly on the map in order to challenge and obtain special rewards, players will also be able to see special challenges and events that give them rewards such as Astrites. These challenges can be done at any time and many of them are extremely difficult, so players should prepare in advance and build up their resonators before attempting these challenges.
In addition to the different challenges on the map, a new feature added to Wuthering Waves 2.0 update allows players to spot special treasure spots on the map, allowing them to see certain spots where a lot of overwork treasures are located. It is highly recommended that you use the treasure mapper on these locations to find all of the treasure and get yourself as many rewards as possible.
The Wuthering Wave interactive map is a special tool that allows players to see every single treasure, resonator nexuses, beacons, challenges and everything you need to know when playing the game. This interactive map will also mark a lot of the most important things for Resonator progression like character upgrading materials, places to find suitable echoes and more. Here are some tips and tricks of how you can best utilize this tool for the best outcome.
As mentioned before, Nexuses and Beacons are important landmarks that players should be able to use as different marks on the map to run around and not get lost. The map in Wuthering Wave is very big and the interactive map contains a lot of different elements that might prove extremely confusing for a lot of players who use it for the first time, so using the different beacons as markers can help you to manage all the important areas.
There’s a lot of treasures on the Wuthering Waves’ overworld that is not shown in the in game map aside form the different treasure spots, so it is highly recommended that players uses the interactive map to mark the high rarity treasures that they can find on to the in game map so that you can obtain them as quickly as possible.
Echoes are an important part of Wuthering Waves and while there is an echo tracker in game for you to use whenever you want to find the echoes for your Resonator builds, the tracker in game only shows Echoes areas until a set number of times. This can be fixed by using the interactive map and marking down the different Echoes areas on your own, allowing you to have a clear and easy path to tackle all of the Echoes areas in the row, improving your proficiency.
