Okay, so I’ve been diving deep into Wuthering Waves lately, and let me tell you, the “Hero of the Leap” quest? It’s a doozy. I wanted to share my experience, from the initial confusion to finally figuring it out.

Getting Started (and Getting Stuck)
First, I stumbled upon the quest marker – it’s not exactly hidden, but it’s easy to miss if you’re not paying attention. I talked to the NPC, got the basic rundown: find some missing person, standard stuff. The problem? The game doesn’t exactly hold your hand.
I spent a good hour just wandering around, checking every nook and cranny. The search area is pretty big, and there are a lot of cliffs and ledges. I fell… a lot. Seriously, I think I spent more time falling than actually searching.
The “Aha!” Moment
After what felt like forever, I decided to take a break and just look at the scenery. And that’s when I saw it – a faint glimmer on a seemingly unreachable ledge. I thought, “No way, it can’t be that simple… can it?”
Turns out, it was that simple. I just needed to get creative with the grappling hook. I experimented with different angles, tried a few jumps, and finally managed to swing my way up there.
The Final Stretch
The rest of the quest was pretty straightforward. A bit of dialogue, a small puzzle, and boom, quest complete! I felt pretty silly for taking so long, but hey, at least I figured it out eventually. It took 1 hour of playing time
Here is my step-by-step approach:
- Accepted Quest.
- Explored a wide area.
- Found the correct place by glint.
- Reached the ledge by grappling hook.
- Solved mini puzzle.
- Finished the quest!
My main takeaway? Don’t be afraid to think outside the box. Sometimes the solution is right in front of you, you just need to look at it from a different perspective. And maybe practice your grappling skills beforehand, just in case.
