Honkai: There are many more stories to tell in Star Rail, but these stories will stay in your mind long after you leave Belobog and Xianzhou Luofu. Here’s a story where you expected something lighthearted, but it turned out to be heavier than expected. All for a few Stella Jade.
But these stories aren’t great just because they get Stella Jade and the credits. These stories give you more information about your favorite characters, their relationships with other characters, and the cultural context of the worlds you’ve traveled.
Ten With love from Xianzhou
Anyone who has read this story will know that it unlocks the complexities of loneliness. You may not agree with catfishing someone or blatantly defrauding them of their money, but this adventure tale touches on the hardships of being socially ostracized and thus lonely.
The central character of this quest, the NPC Wen Hui, can be creepy. Because it is clear that he is only following the fantasy of Foxian women. But the appeal of this story is how it reflects the realities of loneliness in advanced societies, where people start buying into parasocial relationships to satisfy their gaping needs for companionship.
9 Origin of medicine
This companion quest is one of the best because it shows how much Natasha really cares about the inhabitants of the underworld. She doesn’t care if people in the underworld don’t heed her medical advice as a doctor. And even if her patients rebel against her for a quick fix, she cares little for her because she understands their despair.
But she cares that people aren’t misled by pseudoscience and alternative medicine that does more harm than good. Another great thing about her companion’s story is the fact that we get to know her, her past, and why she became an underworld doctor despite coming from a privileged background.
8 you already know me
This particular story is Honkai: Star Rail’s interpretation of Gossip Girl inside a space station, instead about the misappropriation of public funds. You have a more interesting background on Asta, and you probably laughed at the fact that you’re a wealthy astrologer with bad spending habits like someone in Genshin.
But the more interesting part of this story is the little twist at the end. It’s very subtly alluded to, but doesn’t convey it very well. If you haven’t finished reading this story yet, you will have a good laugh.
7 blizzard resistance
Blizzard Immunity has completed what it started with Origin of Medicine. After the Underworld is unsealed, you continue your journey with Natasha. Her first plan of action is to visit her parents who have been separated for ten years. For your favorite doctor, it’s a heartwarming, well-deserved reunion.
It’s a fluffy tale of a torn family reunited, but it’s also a good tale of closure and loss. Bittersweet is a better way to describe this story, but at least Natasha finally closed that chapter of her life once and for all.
6 time express
Servals are known for their innovative minds, but their whimsical and free-spirited nature seems to be a consequence of those who want to learn more. So it’s not surprising that she asked if you could take the Astral Express. It’s only natural that people who are excited about new discoveries want to see the world beyond Jarilo-VI.
Welt and Himeko didn’t object to the idea, but rather welcomed it, so traveling with Serval was just a few steps from reality. However, Bronya has a proposal of her own, which puts Serval at a crossroads. In this companion quest, you’ll meet people who will miss Serval, and memories of her she’ll leave behind, even long after Serval’s journey on Jaliro VI. .
Five Old Foreman’s Treasure
Old Foreman’s Treasure is the game’s twist on the old adage that money can’t buy happiness. Even with his two struggling denizens in the Belobog underworld, it’s not all over. You follow Hook, the intrepid captain of the Mall, on his journey to recover and repair her father’s geomarlow detector.
But of course, eventually Hook’s father explained that the Geomaro Detector wasn’t his greatest treasure, his treasure was alive and well, and that’s all that matters. Rest assured that after this companion quest, Hook and her father have a healthy, loving relationship, if not much.
Four hook gift
Hook’s Gift is the sequel to Old Foreman’s Treasure and provides excellent background on hooks. You find out that she is her adopted child and that her father adopted her and understood the importance of her birthday for the first time. You’ll go on a wild journey with her to find her gift to Hook’s father, and even join her in a bidding war.
However, it also turns out that Hook, as naughty as he is, is actually a good kid who depends on getting things the right way. He has a sincere personality, and although he is shy to speak out, he is considerate of his surroundings.
3 only one child
This is a companion quest after Time Express, in which Gepard expresses that he will support his sister’s decision no matter what, but he still misses her and makes the life-changing decision to leave home. I want you to think twice before you do. Star. You’ve probably thought about leaving your country once or twice, but ship-to-planet travel is no joke.
One of the best things about this quest is that you get to see how much two brothers care about each other, even though they’ve taken different paths in life. Serval has unresolved pain from his past and felt the need to escape, but together with his brother, Serval is able to give Serval the courage to face it all.
2 Rarely Affectionate
Robots have no emotions. And according to Svarog himself, this is a once-in-a-lifetime anomaly on Belobog. So when Pascal was recorded as gaining sentience, everyone was surprised, even Clara herself, who had grown up in a robot. This little robot tried to repair Rivet Town even after its residents fled because of Fragmentum.
This quest wasn’t just about fixing a broken robot and choosing its fate. It made you sympathize with Pascal and understand the dynamics between Clara and Svarog. Even though Svarog denies that it’s hard to keep Pascal, it turns out he respects Clara’s wishes and only wants what’s best for her as her family.
1 Destination: Faint Star
Rocky Martinez was a researcher on Herta’s space station. If he knows anything about this NPC, it’s that he’s very in love with Leslie. Bernard took matters into his own hands, believing Rocky should focus on his studies instead of chasing someone who hasn’t responded for a long time.
In this mission you get a blue pill or red pill situation, but whatever you choose to give Rocky, in that moment you think it’s to his own benefit. If you choose to tell him the bare truth, you probably have a bye-bye, Herta poem on your shelf. I won’t see this love-stricken researcher for a long time (if ever again), but I will see people willing to fight the ebbs and flows of time just for someone else’s sake. It’s a pleasure.
