On top of this stacked array of permanent content, login events, and double deposit periods, we get three limited-time events during Honkai Star Rail Update 1.2. One less than expected, but there’s certainly enough permanent content to keep us busy in the meantime.
Here’s everything we know about all the limited-time events in Honkai Star Rail 1.2:
Fantastic Tales
Tales of the Fantastic is a narrative event that mixes exploration and combat. You use “protagonist models” to improve your combat abilities, but to strengthen these magic items, you must first “travel to the past” and visit historical battle locations.
From the livestream gameplay, it appears to involve taking control of a Cycrane to complete tasks, but there could be other gameplay variations that we haven’t seen yet.
THE rewards you can win from the Tales of the Fantastic event include:
- Stellar Jade
- The trails of fate
- Relic Rest material
- Materials Light Cone Level Up
Underground treasure hunt
Underground Treasure Hunt combines puzzles and combat in the underground world of the Great Belobog Mine. There’s a “treasure hunting craze” going on in the area right now and the Trailblazer is getting in on the action exploring levels of dangerous ruins.
You need to use stamina to solve certain puzzles between fights to collect items like keycards to unlock new areas and relics that boost stats and provide combat benefits. You’ll also encounter some familiar faces along the way, allowing you to add them as a trial character to your party.
THE rewards you can win from the Underground Treasure Hunt event include:
- Where is the rabbit? Chat box
- Stellar Jade
- Credits
- The trails of fate
- Self-modeling resin
- Relic Rest material
- Materials Trace and Light Cone Ascension
Where are you, Mystery Trotter?
As part of the Where Are You, Mystery Trotter event, Regin, our “friend” from the Ministry of Education Quiz, gives you a device that can track the position of Warp Trotters. All you have to do is go find them and win the battle to continue the quest and get more Stellar Jade.
THE rewards you can win from the Where Are You, Mystery Trotter event include:
- Stellar Jade
- The trails of fate
- Relic EXP Materials
- Character Level Materials
- Materials Light Cone Level Up
I hope you have fun during version 1.2!
