Wuthering Waves can be surprisingly gorgeous at times—I wouldn’t blame you for pulling out your camera as often as your weapon. Sometimes, Wuthering Waves decides that snapping pictures isn’t just an art but also part of an event or a quest. Traces of Mt. Firmament asks that you take pictures of different areas of the map. You can’t just take whichever pictures you like and call it a day. Instead, you must pay attention to the residents’ clues and capture whatever they desire. In this guide, I’ll show you how to start and complete Traces of Mt. Firmament in Wuthering Waves.
