Play as Gwynn

Although Gwynn is the required character for this quest, you do not need to own Gwynn in order to complete it. You will be given a trial version of Gwynn to use when you start the character story mission in the Ascendant Realm.

The enemy combatant level for this mission depends on your level. It should automatically scale to you.

How to Unlock the Gwynn Quest

Complete Ice Field Phantoms

The Gwynn character quest becomes available immediately upon completing Ice Field Phantoms. However, the mission where you play as Gwynn will not start until you interact with her silhouette in the ice cavern.

Rune Blocked Green Wall
Go to the wall of green mist, and interact with the rune to open the way.
4
Swinging Spiky Obstacle

▶︎ All Relic Abilities
5
Taken Knight Regeneration
Defeat the Taken Knight blocking your path. Once its health is low enough, it will summon offerings to heal itself. Shoot at those to prevent it from going back to full HP.

Unlock Gwynn
Defeat Ir Eruna, then interact with the rune. This will trigger the second phase of the Ir Eruna boss fight, but this time you can make use of your Soul Harvest Super ability.
11
Ir Eruna Final Phase
Once Ir Eruna is at half health, a cutscene will trigger, and you will be sent to the final phase of the boss fight. Defeat Ir Eruna once and for all to complete the quest.

Gwynn Quest Boss

Taken Knight

Taken Knight Regeneration

You will need to face against Taken Knight twice in this quest. For both fights, whenever the Taken Knight goes down to less than half health, it will start to summon Hive enemies to absorb their life essence. When this happens, prioritize shooting at the summoned enemies to prevent the Taken Knight from healing too much.

The best way to damage the Taken Knights is to use your abilities. Both of her signature abilities are particularly useful if you're surrounded by enemies, but they can also deal a good amount of damage to the boss.

Ir Eruna, Swordsinger

Ir Eruna

Ir Eruna is the final boss of the Gwynn quest, and she has three phases to her boss fight.

In the first phase, attack her normally using your weapons and abilities. In the second phase, you'll unlock Gwynn's Super ability, Soul Harvest. Use this as much as possible to make quick work of Ir Eruna.

For the final phase of the boss fight, you will be sent to a different location where you cannot respawn if you are defeated. Luckily, this phase of the fight is fairly simple. You will remain in your Super state throughout the battle, so just keep using your Super ability on Ir Eruna while chasing after her.

Gwynn Quest Rewards

Character Quest Rewards

Gwynn Rewards
・Lumia Leaf x5
・Bon Voyage Charm x1
・Team XP x100
・Incandescence Tuft x6
・Glimmer x3000

Completing the Gwynn character quest will reward you with Lumia Leaves, a Bon Voyage Charm, Team XP, Incandescence Tuft, and Glimmer. The Lumia Leaves will not be part of the first set of mission rewards that appear when you defeat Ir Eruna, but they will be given immediately after the quest ends.

Miss Peacemaker Diary Entry

Miss Peacemaker Gwynn Diary Entry

If you've unlocked Gwynn as a character, you can unlock the entry for Miss Peacemaker in her diary after completing the quest. This also rewards you with 5 Lumia Leaves.

Redo Gwynn Miss Peacemaker Isn't Unlocked

Gwynn Quest Experience Again from Journey

If Miss Peacemaker is still not unlocked despite completing Gwynn, you may need to redo the quest. Since the Gwynn quest is available even if you do not have Gwynn as a character yet, completing it before you pull Gwynn may not count to her diary progress.

You can redo the quest by going to the Journey tab in Gwynn's Lore menu in the Characters screen. Select the Gwynn quest and Experience Again to try out the quest again.

Take note that redoing quests will not give you the quest rewards again.

Memento Mori Event Rewards

Memento Mori Event
Memento Mori Rewards
・Bon Voyage Charm x1
・Incandescence Ribbon x5
・Incandescence Tuft x8
・Glimmer x5000

If you complete Gwynn before September 26, 2025, you can claim the Memento Mori event rewards. These can be claimed through the Memento Mori tab in the Events menu.

This event only requires you to complete the first two character quests under Gwynn. The rest of her character quests, starting with Unexpected Guests, only become available once you have unlocked Gwynn as a character and are not required for the Memento Mori event.
