Wuthering Waves: How to activate the Nexus Tower in Hongzhen

Activating Hongzhen’s Nexus Tower in Wuthering Waves might appear to be a trivial task, but it is surprisingly a requirement for completing the four-part event currently active in the game. Titled Tales from Mt. Firmament, this event thrusts you into exploring the snow-covered island of the same name in Huanglong. In exchange, you receive a bunch of rewards, including Astrite, Shell Credit, and more.

This event is one of the best ways to obtain quite a few essential resources, which you can use to summon and build more characters. Use this opportunity to also explore Mt. Firmament so you can claim more rewards from the Pioneer Association.

This guide will help you activate the Nexus Tower in Hongzhen and list the rewards you can obtain from doing so.

Activating the beacon in Hongzhen is a simple task that's part of the Tales from Mt. Firmament event in Wuthering Waves. You have to progress through ACT VI (Thaw of Eons) of the main story quest to access the mountainous island. Only then can you activate the Nexus Tower after reaching Hongzhen, which is basically this region's main city.

These beacons are scattered throughout Solaris-3, and activating them involves a short interaction. In fact, you can switch on the one in Hongzhen at any given time once the region is unlocked, but try to prioritize it. This will aid your exploration, and help you can access the Resonance Beacons to teleport to different locations on Mount Firmament.

• 30x Astrite
• 3x Advanced Resonance Potion
• 6x Medium Energy Core

For those wondering, "activate the Nexus Tower in Hongzhen" is a task listed under the First Impression section of Tales from Mt. Firmament. You will find several other missions that are part of the current event, like Soak in the Sagaci Springs in Wuthering Waves, all of which yield similar rewards.

Since resources are quite scarce, we recommend completing all the event tasks. It will fetch you quite a bit of Astrite to pull for Jinhsi or Changli in version 1.1. Both the 5-star units are a powerhouse in the game, each capitalizing on a unique playstyle and combat animation.
