Wuthering Waves: Complete Guide to Aetherfin Challenge Locations in The Black Shores

The Aetherfin Challenges are an exciting new feature introduced in version 1.3 of Wuthering Waves. These challenges require players to glide over the sea and collect scattered Aetherfins to guide them to their respective destinations. Since these challenges do not fit into the categories of combat or exploration, they are classified as adventure challenges.

Engaging in the Aetherfin Challenges is quite straightforward, as players automatically glide across the water without needing to move their characters forward. Your main focus should be on passing through the blue rings to continuously replenish your energy. However, it’s essential to avoid the red rings, as they will drain your energy.

There are a total of four Aetherfin Challenges scattered across the Black Shores Archipelago and the Tethys’ Deep regions. Continue reading to discover the locations of all Aetherfin Challenges available in the Wuthering Waves version 1.3.
