Whimpering Wastes is a brand new game mode introduced in the Wuthering Waves 2.1 patch. This game mode revolves around using two teams of six different resonators to complete time-trial-based challenges. The quicker you can defeat the enemies in each stage, the more points you are able to procure.
Collecting points will help you get bountiful rewards, such as Astrite, Resonance Potion, Shell Credits, Energy Core, Sealed Tubes, and more. Whimpering Wastes serves as a good alternative to the Tower of Adversity game mode for endgame players to showcase their best teams. Here is a quick rundown of everything you can expect in Whimpering Wastes and a brief guide on how to unlock the game mode, along with the best teams to use.

How To Unlock Whimpering Wastes
To access the Whimpering Wastes game mode in Wuthering Waves, you can track the tutorial quest named “Ocean is a Soul’s Rest”, which will teleport you to a Sonoro Sphere at the edge of Penitent’s End. Talk to Levito and learn more about the backstory of this unique phenomenon to kick things off.
Once you enter the Sonoro Sphere, you will be greeted with a multitude of mechanics which can be a bit overwhelming at first glance. However, this game mode is very simple. Deploy two parties of six unique Resonators and pair a Token that meshes well with each party’s playstyle. There are currently 12 stages in Whimpering Wastes divided into three sections. These include:
Forbidden Waters
- Stage 1: Siren’s Bonyard
- Stage 2: Darkblight Ruins
- Stage 3: Mistbound Lair
- Stage 4: Weeping Walkway
- Stage 5: Starfall Expanse
- Stage 6: Burial Bay
Respawning Waters: Chasm
- Stage 7: Doomstrand
- Stage 8: Whirlpool
- Stage 9: Riptide
- Stage 10: Tempest
- Stage 11: Seabane
Respawning Waters: Torrents
- Stage 12: Infinite Torrents
All stages (except Infinite Torrents) require you to reach a specific number of points to unlock the next stage. You can gain additional points to unlock rewards much quicker. To obtain the maximum number of points, you will have to eliminate multiple waves of enemies before the timer runs out.
While the stages in Forbidden Waters are quite easy to get past, things start to get more difficult from Stage 7. This is where equipping the right token for each party can make a big difference in clearing tough stages. Each stage also has a specific “Environment Report” that can help certain Resonators perform better.
