The new Honkai: Star Rail Version 1.6 has just dropped and with it comes the games’ new event, Crown of the Mundane and Divine. This new event serves as a Trailblaze Continuance mission and currently consists of two major quests that players will have to go through to be able to not only play the time-limited side events but also unlock the new characters’ visitor invitations to the Astral Express. The first part of the quest is titled When the Stars of Ingenuity Shine and introduces players to the new limited banner 5-star character Ruan Mei.
Much like previous Honkai: Star Rail missions, this one is equally lengthy and time-consuming. You will have to follow Ruan Mei around the Space Station and help her retrieve some life forms that have escaped to the Seclusion Zone. As this is a new area that will be introduced during the event, players can indeed freely traverse around and explore to their heart’s content. The quest will eventually lead to a fight with a new Boss enemy that will be introduced in this patch.
Honkai: Star Rail – Little Ghost Locations In Fyxestroll Garden (Boo Ha Ha! Hidden Achievement Guide)
Finding the Little Ghost in Fyxestroll Garden will award players with a Hidden Achievement and various items.
How to Defeat the Starcrusher Swarm King
This new boss is not that hard to defeat as all of its summons are weak to Physical DMG. The fight has 2 Phases, and the Swarm King is weak to Physical, Ice and Imaginary type elements. One thing to keep in mind is that when fighting the boss in its Multiply State, players need to keep breaking the Swarm King’s Toughness. Forget about the Swarm surrounding it, as when you attack the Swarm King, breaking its Toughness will cause the surrounding swarms to self-explode.
Players can take characters such as Argenti, Yanxing, Physical Trailblazer, or Clara as heavy hitters that can weaken the Swarm King’s Toughness and their accompanying support to carry you through the fight.
After successfully completing the first part of the quest, you can then move on to the next part in the Master Control Zone. Follow through the story and recall the memories you shared with Asta, Arlan, and Adler to build an alibi. The main objective of this second quest – Mundane Troubles, is to try and investigate the attack on one of Herta’s puppets and recall the Trailblazer’s missing memory.
Once you have saved Adler, spoken to Asta again, and identified Emily as the other Researcher, you will then have all 3 Cognitive Chasms in your possession. Go back into the memory of Arlan’s Investigation and submit the Cognitive Chasm: Researchers’ Disappearance to Arlan and Cognitive Chasm: The Xianzhou Alliance to Adler.
Once you have received the Cognitive Chasm: Energy Lifeform, present it to Herta and reiterate all your memories back to Dr Ratio and the Investigation Team. Unfortunately, he is still wary of the Trailblazers’ words, and this is where you will have to debate with him to successfully get through the test.
How to Successfully Counteract Dr Ratio’s Argument
Once you continue on, the scene will switch into Questioning Mode, and you will have to present each of the following evidence for each statement that you collected through the Memory Recollection. Simply click on the Recall button to present the relevant evidence.
| Statement | Evidence |
|---|---|
| Herta’s collection – an endless trove of trinkets and baubles – and yet she singles out one nameless, ordinary Curio? | Cognitive Chasm: Genius Society Member |
| So what’s the story? Are you full of fanciful fiction, or is Asta the one hoarding secrets like they’re going out of style? | Cognitive Chasm: Confidence Crisis |
| Clearly, though, it bears no correlation to Herta’s puppet being attacked. | Cognitive Chasm: Spontaneous Human Combustion |
The debate will end, and a short cut scene will play afterward. You’ll need to receive some help from Arlan, Wen Shiling, Pamela, and Dan Heng, who will give you some Clues that can help further the investigation.
Once you meet back with the Investigation team, there will be another round of discussions where you will have to present evidence using the Clues previously obtained.
| Statement | Evidence |
|---|---|
| Last is the abilities of Duke Inferno and the secret of spontaneous human combustion. | Clue: Dimension – Phasing Flame |
| I fear that is the truth Adler discovered. | Clue: Booklet |
You will now be tasked with finding the Infernal Fire that has kidnapped Asta and embark on an Exploratory Excursion to track it down. Physical, Wind, and Imaginary characters are recommended for this Excursion, as there will be quite a few enemies lurking around the domain.
Successfully defeat all the enemies to complete the quest and invite Dr Ratio onto the Astral Express.
