Following the main story of Honkai Star Rail should usually be a top priority. This would be the case if you enjoy giving yourself a tough time as you progress through the game. You’ll go through a few changes for once as you do the “To: The Faint Star” quest.
Instead of doing heavy combat, you’ll be searching the far reaches of the Herta Space Station instead for old parts. A few other objectives will include inspecting surveillance footage and making changes to the floor plan. It’s as if you’re running the station by yourself at this point. Check out the guide and find out more!
To The Faint Star Guide
“To: The Faint Star” is an Adventure Mission. Think of these as optional side quests that you can do aside from your Trailblaze Missions. Anyway, you will receive a text message from Rocky. No, not Balboa, and he wants to you to meet him at the Master Control Zone of the Herta Space Station.
Here’s what you can expect as you go through the mission:
- Listen to what the young man from the Department of Galactic Geography has on his mind (Master Control Zone)
- Find the repeater in the storage zone (Storage Zone)
- Collect the old parts in the crevices of the repulsion bridge (Storage Zone)
- Use the parts to fix the damaged repeater (Storage Zone)
- Go to the monitoring room to take a look at everything that took place (Base Zone)
- Identify the mastermind according to the surveillance footage (Master Control Zone)
- Tell the young man the truth or a lie (Master Control Zone)
The best fast travel point you can use is Herta’s Office. It’s in the same zone and is much closer to Rocky compared to using the Central Passage.
Once you travel to Herta’s Office, walk out of the door to get to the Master Control Zone. Talk to him and he’ll tell you to find the repeater in the storage zone.
The fastest way to the Storage Zone is through the Outside the Control Center (First Floor) Space Anchor. Yes this is what the fast travel point is actually called.
Go straight into the observation room and interact with the monitor on the right side.
After investigating the repeater, your objective will change again. Since the repeater is broken, you’re going to gather two nickel parts from the repulsion bridge next.
Luckily, it’s right across the room where the repeater is. Turn around and cross the hallway, don’t forget to interact with the panel on the right to proceed!
Go through the door and the first Ultra Nickel Part will be right in front of you. No hassle, all you have to do is walk on the orange platform and open the chest.
The second chest is a different story, prepare yourself for at least one fight as you go further down. Turn around and go right to get to the panel on the lower floor.
Access the panel to change the paths and proceed. Follow the arrows to navigate the lower levels. You also encounter the same puzzle while scouring the Supply Zone for loot!
As stated earlier, you can dodge the guy on the left if you want to. Get far enough and he will lose aggro, allowing you to open the chest without issue.
No need to make the entire trek back. Use the Space Anchor with a very long name to return to the Repeater Room. This way you don’t have to walk out of the Disposal Site.
Once you’re back in the room, interact with the monitor and hand over the two Ultra Nickel Parts. This will allow you to access signal logs, some of them are damaged however. Now you have to investigate the communication history of the repeater next.
To do this, go to the Base Zone of the Herta Space Station. Use the Monitoring Room fast travel point and you’ll land right next to the objective.
Exhaust all of the three options and move on to the next page. You’ll find out that Bernard is your target so go back to the Master Control Zone. Use the Watcher Zone fast travel point to get to Bernard faster.
Talk to him to find out how much he dislikes the younger generation for having feelings. He also damaged the records for “Rocky’s own good.”
After the conversation, he will give you the Red Signal log quest item. Now you have two choices to make before talking to Rocky. You either tell him the truth or lie.
Teleport back to Herta’s Office again to rid yourself of all the walking. Talk to Rocky one last time to finish the quest. With that, you would have finished To: The Faint Star, and to think that you only have to fight once.
