What to know
- The quest is heavily guided by quest markers but gated by waterwheel mechanisms
- Jet Drone usage is mandatory later in the quest
- Several cutscenes mark major narrative transitions
- Completion unlocks access through Wuling City routes and logistics areas
In Arknights Endfield, the Destination Wuling quest acts as both a narrative bridge and a mechanical tutorial for large-scale environmental traversal. Unlike infrastructure-heavy missions, this quest emphasizes movement through layered terrain, puzzle-based progression, and controlled combat encounters against Aggelos enemies. It gradually shifts you from rural industrial zones into the structured space of Wuling City, using water-powered machinery and hidden routes to pace the experience.
The quest is long, deliberate, and segmented, ensuring that each mechanic is introduced clearly before being reused later. If followed carefully, it flows smoothly. If rushed, it can feel confusing—especially around waterwheel activation and Jet Drone interactions.

How to complete Destination Wuling in Arknights Endfield
Step 1: Follow the quest marker to trigger the opening cutscene
Once the quest becomes active, follow the objective marker to its starting location. Reaching this point immediately triggers a cutscene that establishes the importance of Wuling as a destination and hints at the obstacles ahead. This scene also subtly introduces the reliance on water-powered infrastructure that defines the early part of the quest.
After the cutscene ends, control returns to you with the first major obstacle directly ahead.
Step 2: Reactivate the first waterwheel to unlock the bridge
The first waterwheel is inactive and blocks access to the next area. You will notice two mechanisms attached to the wheel structure. Strike both mechanisms repeatedly until the wheel begins to rotate.
Once active, the environment responds immediately—the bridge ahead unlocks and lowers, allowing you to cross into the next zone. This interaction sets the pattern for all subsequent waterwheels.
Step 3: Reactivate the second waterwheel using the same method
The second waterwheel works identically. Strike its paired mechanisms until rotation resumes. As before, activating the wheel restores water flow and unlocks another bridge leading deeper into the route toward Wuling. The repetition here is intentional, reinforcing the cause-and-effect relationship between machinery and traversal.
Step 4: Reactivate the third waterwheel while clearing Aggelos
The third waterwheel introduces light combat pressure. As you move toward it, Aggelos enemies appear along the path. Clear them out before focusing on the mechanisms. Once the area is safe, strike the waterwheel mechanisms to activate it.
With the third wheel running, a door unlocks in the Treadway, opening the route forward. This moment marks the end of the waterwheel-focused segment and transitions the quest toward narrative interaction.
Step 5: Talk to Tangtang
After passing through the unlocked door, you encounter Tangtang. Speaking with Tangtang provides narrative clarity and reinforces the significance of reaching Wuling City. The conversation also formally shifts the objective away from machinery and toward travel.
Step 6: Follow quest markers toward Wuling City
With Tangtang’s guidance, follow the quest markers leading toward Wuling City. This section is largely linear but visually expansive, giving you a sense of scale and distance.
Step 7: Clear Aggelos along the route
Aggelos enemies appear intermittently during this stretch. They are placed to slow progression rather than pose a major threat. Clearing them ensures safe passage and prevents interruptions during scripted moments later.
Step 8: Reach the end of the secret tunnel to trigger a cutscene
Eventually, the quest leads you into a secret tunnel.
At its far end, another cutscene triggers, signaling your successful navigation of the outskirts and setting up the next narrative phase inside Wuling’s operational zones.
Step 9: Talk to Perlica
After the cutscene, speak with Perlica at the Field Logistics Depot. This interaction contextualizes the situation within Wuling and introduces the next NPC who will guide you further.
Step 10: Talk to Mi Fu and follow her
Next, you meet Mi Fu. Follow her closely, as she leads you toward logistical checkpoints necessary for entry approval and continued progression.
Step 11: Acquire Ferrium bottles from Watchguards
Mi Fu directs you to speak with Watchguards. Through dialogue, you acquire Ferrium bottles, which are required to proceed.
You get 60 Ferrium Bottles here.
Step 12: Use the Jet Drone to shoot the mechanism and open the bridge
With Ferrium secured, deploy your Jet Drone and shoot the highlighted mechanism. Doing so activates a bridge to the next area. This is a mandatory tutorial moment for drone-based environmental interaction.
Step 13: Shoot the second mechanism to unlock the path gate
A second drone-activated mechanism blocks the path gate ahead. Use the Jet Drone again to trigger it, fully opening the route forward.
Step 14: Leave the Field Logistics Depot
Proceed through the now-opened area and exit the Field Logistics Depot. This signals that all mechanical and administrative requirements have been met.
Step 15: Quest completion
Once you leave the depot, the Destination Wuling quest completes automatically. The mission log updates, and Wuling City becomes fully integrated into your progression path.

Why Destination Wuling is a major turning point for Arknights Endfield
This quest succeeds because it teaches through repetition and escalation. Waterwheels introduce environmental logic, Aggelos encounters add pressure, and Jet Drone mechanics expand your interaction toolkit. By the time you reach Wuling City, you are fully prepared for more complex traversal and logistics challenges ahead.
Destination: Wuling is less about difficulty and more about rhythm. Each step builds on the last, guiding you naturally from mechanical problem-solving to narrative engagement. By the time the final cutscene fades and the quest completes, Wuling no longer feels distant or inaccessible—it feels earned.
