Location of Mephis, Storm of Howling Waves
Storm Mephis is located underground in the Central Plains region of the Huanglong region, just north of Jinzhou city. You won’t find him at his marker above the ground, as you have to jump into the nearby cavern to find Tempest Mephis. The cave hole is just east of the Tempest Mephis map marker.
Here’s a map image showing the exact location of the hole that leads to Tempest Mephis:
It’s a bit confusing if this is your first time approaching the Echo, as a tutorial appears on how to defeat it while you travel above the Tempest Mephis symbol on the map. This might be fixed in the future, but now that you know the Echo is underground, you shouldn’t have any problems trying to access it anyway.
The next problem lies in the boss fight, so keep reading for tips on how to beat Tempest Mephis.
How to defeat Tempest Mephis in Wuthering Waves
To defeat Tempest Mephis in Wuthering Waves, you must make generous use of counterattacks to reduce its vibration force bar, which causes Tempest Mephis to become immobilized when its bar is completely depleted. This stops Tempest Mephis from attacking for a short time, creating an opening for your team to unleash its most powerful attacks.
You can only counterattack when a yellow ring forms around Tempest Mephis.
It’s important to deplete Tempest Mephis’ vibration force bar, especially when fighting her at higher levels, as Tempest Mephis likes to move around a lot, making it difficult to land your attacks.
You’ll also want to dodge when you see Tempest Mephis accumulating purple energy, as this move cannot be counterattacked.
We recommend bringing a team composed of at least one melee DPS (damage per second) and a healer. Having a fast DPS (like Jiyan) can help launch these counterattacks on Tempest Mephis, but just make sure your DPS doesn’t attack with the Electro element, because Tempest Mephis increased resistance to Electro.
The third slot can be occupied by another DPS character, or by a buffer that can increase the damage of your main attacker’s moves.
Finally, if you find it a little too difficult at higher levels, remember that you can team up in multiplayer co-op to fight Tempest Mephis.
Good luck fighting Tempest Mephis in Wuthering Waves!
