Where to Find All Three Children During WuWa's Hidden Childhood Quest

Select Language:

Whenever a new region is added in Wuthering Waves, it usually comes with optional quests besides the main storyline where you meet all the playable characters. These side quests can be longer exploration tasks or smaller, simpler quests marked with a blue indicator.

One of these smaller quests is called Hidden Childhood. You find it by approaching a group of kids talking to each other. During this quest, your goal is to locate three children hiding in specific spots within a circular area. It may be tricky if you don’t think creatively or look carefully.

How to Get the Hidden Childhood Quest
To unlock the Hidden Childhood quest, you first need to reach the Lahai-Roi region, which is the third main area in the game. You can do this by starting the first part of chapter three. After beginning this quest, you’ll arrive in Lahai-Roi, but you can keep progressing until you reach the Startorch Academy.

Once at the academy, explore the map and go to the Resonance Nexus located at the bottom right of the campus. Activating this Nexus reveals the Spacetrek Observatory. Just above the observatory, there’s a chest icon on the map, showing a cluster of loot nearby.

Note: You might need to complete a few exploration side quests nearby before the Hidden Childhood quest becomes available.

Get close to this chest icon, and a blue icon indicating the Hidden Childhood quest will appear nearby. You can start the quest by talking to a group of children at that marker.

Where to Find All the Children
After you begin the quest dialogue, the three kids will hide in different places. You can find them by following these clues:

The first child is on the balcony of a gray, vertical building in the area. You can see this building if you zoom in on the map.
The second child is near the river on the right side of this building. When you approach, you’ll notice a rhino enemy surrounded by NPCs pointing at it—approach this area to find the child.
The third kid is north of the second location, hiding near some rocks marked with purple symbols.

After you find all three children, finish the conversation to complete the quest. You’ll receive rewards like Shell Credits and materials needed for upgrades.
