All Special Enemies Locations in Wuthering Waves

You’ve probably come across Special Enemies in Wuthering Waves, which glow in red and are much more powerful than regular opponents. These monsters have unique rewards if defeated, so here’s where you can find all Special Enemies in Wuthering Waves.

Where to Find All Special Enemies in Wuthering Waves

Special Enemies are a type of creatures found around the map that are unique in various ways. They’re stronger than regular enemies and their levels can go all the way from 25 to 120, regardless of your Phase Rank. They also have a different respawn rate, only returning after a weekly reset, and will always give you a 4-star or higher Echo when you beat them.

Special Enemies serve as unmarked challenges around the world map, and beating them for the first time unlocks an achievement. As they’re a step-up challenge compared to other opponents, you need to have your dodge/counter-attack game ready as this will be key to a smooth victory.

Special Enemies have fixed levels, so you can encounter some of them while severely underleved. Rewards will be the same regardless of the level you beat them, so wait until you’re more powerful before tackling them. Even if you can’t get to Level 120+, as some Special Enemies can, it’s still worth waiting a bit before throwing yourself into the wall that is fighting them.

Carapace: Engine Zero

• Location: Qichi Village
• Level: 25

Teleport to the Parallel Perception domain and head a bit north to find Carapace: Engine Zero. It’s the weakest of all Special Enemies, so it should be an easy target.

Viridblaze Saurian

• Location: Loong’s Gaze Suburbs
• Level: 30

Found asleep northwest of the Forgery Challenge. Another easy target.

Autopuppet Scout

• Location: Tiderise Cliff
• Level: 40

Found southeast of Tiderise Cliff on the shore. You can even see the Tower of Adversity from here.

Wasteland Bellower

• Location: Shattered Blocks
• Level: 40

Found on the small moon-shaped isle to the east of Tiger’s Maw Mine. You can see it from afar, as well as its smaller wolf helpers. Be careful with those!

Chasm Rider

• Location: Qichi Village
• Level: 45

Like Carapace: Engine Zero, Chasm Rider is also next to the Qichi Village teleport. Turn immediately back after teleporting and jump down the river to find it.

Sabyrkin

• Location: Distribuiton Center
• Level: 50

Head to the Center teleport, then start heading east by climbing through the walls until you find Sabyrkin alongside its ever-helpful boars.

Illuminator Theater

• Location: Misty Coast
• Level: 60

North of the Misty Coat Resonance Beacon. Just follow the bridge path and you should see the Illuminator and its friends waiting for you.

Roseshroom Mutant

• Location: Donglu Research Station
• Level: 60

You can reach it through the Resonance Beacon by the broken bridge. After teleporting to it, head south until you find a small river with the two enemies.

Scorpion’s Nest

• Location: Donglu Research Station
• Level: 70

Now return to the Beacon and head northeast instead. Approach the illustrated area and enter the cave, where you can find some small info about how to unlock the locked door you’ll find. The password is 2357. Scorpion’s Nest will be behind the door.

Fractsidus Follower

• Location: Sea of Flames
• Level: 80

Complete the “We Promise, We Deliver” World Quest so you’ll stop taking damage from the ground in the Sea of Flames. This will also build a bridge in the area, which is positioned directly in front of the Resonance Beacon. Follow the bridge, then drop on the exact spot to find the enemies.

Obelisk Guardian

• Location: Camp Overwatch
• Level: 85

Take the leftmost Resonance Beacon and head to the cliff’s peak, next to the watchtower. It has to be that specific Beacon, as the one that appears to be closer is actually on a different weight level.

Prism Heart

• Location: Giant Banyan
• Level: 90

Despite the location, come through the Forbidden Forest teleport and head down until you find the cliff with the four enemies waiting for you.

Young Murmurian

• Location:
• Level: 100

Head for the Violet Banyan teleport and head straight down by gliding. You’ll see the enemies glowing red from afar much longer before you get close to them.

Twin Heron

• Location: Fallen Grave
• Level: 110

Use the teleport right next to the Mourning Aix battle and head left to find them by the lake.

Wild Gorilla

• Location: Thorny Passage
• Level: 120

Return to the same Beacon from Young Murmurian and head straight to find the gorillas. They hit quite hard, so be careful!

Spearback King

• Location: Plateau Ruins
• Level: 125

Currently the strongest enemy in the open world. Use the Depths of Illusive Realm teleport to reach it, and get ready for a fierce fight.

All enemies have their own exclusive achievement related to them, and may also drop some valuable Echoes when defeated. You might need to group up with others to tackle these mighty foes, but you can also choose to challenge them by yourself if you’re brave enough. Good luck, either way!
