How to Start the Urban Legend Side Quest in Wuthering Waves

The Urban Legend side quest in Wuthering Waves is easy to miss because it doesn’t begin with a visible quest icon. Instead, it quietly unlocks through story progression and an in-game messaging system.

Once started, it opens a series of mystery-themed investigations centered around Startorch Academy and nearby regions.

How to start the Urban Legend quest in WuWa

Before the Urban Legend questline becomes available, you must complete Chapter 3 Act 1 – What Burns Beneath Frostlands in the main story. This chapter introduces the Frostlands region and Startorch Academy, which are essential to the questline’s setting.

If this chapter is incomplete, the Urban Legend quest will not appear in any form—no message, marker, or NPC.

Step 1: Open WavesLine messages

After completing the chapter, open WavesLine, the in-game messaging and social interface. You will receive a new message from a student named Mayo.
The message mentions strange rumors and an invitation to investigate unusual events.

Step 2: Respond to Mayo’s message

Reply to the message in WavesLine. This action formally activates the quest Urban Legend: The Anonymous Inviter and adds a quest marker to your map.

Step 3: Travel to Startorch Academy Garden

Head to Startorch Academy and navigate to the Garden area. Mayo will be waiting there. Speak with her to officially begin the quest and trigger the opening dialogue and objectives.

Locations involved in the opening quest

The first Urban Legend quest mainly takes place within Startorch Academy, focusing on the Garden and nearby academy grounds. Later objectives may briefly send you to surrounding Frostlands areas, but the opening investigation remains tightly centered on the academy to establish the mystery theme.

What happens after starting Urban Legend

Completing Urban Legend: The Anonymous Inviter unlocks the wider Urban Legend questline. These quests function as semi-independent cases, each based on rumors, myths, or unexplained events tied to specific locations.

All 5 unlocked Urban Legend quests include:

• The Tale Teller
• Train to Who Knows Where
• No-Escape Classroom
• The Rogue Constructor
• Lost in the Fog Tunnel

Each case activates through exploration, follow-up messages, or interacting with suspicious points of interest after the initial quest is cleared.
