Walkthrough of the quest Burn, burn, my star of genius Honkai: Star Rail
Spend the whole day with Ruan Mei - the girl has become somewhat fond of the Pathfinder and decided to ask him for help. Explore the forbidden zone and find its creatures who participated in the experiment to find the formula of life.
Talk to Herta
Travel to the Space Station to meet Gerta and Astoy. They receive guests from the society of geniuses and share their impressions. Ruan Mei does not like lavish receptions and went somewhere, asking for a phase flame for her research.
Immediately after the dialogue with the girls, read the messages in the gossip group: the guest is very withdrawn and keeps aloof, which everyone is extremely unhappy with.
Find Ruan Mei
Hurry to the platform in the Area and meet the mysterious girl standing by the train. She will immediately touch the Pathfinder to read biological indicators, and then offer a strange cake. Even if you refuse the treat, eat it anyway.
Follow Ruan Mei along the platform and listen to her story of how, together with her mother, she breathed life into a dead planet. Afterwards, the girl will apologize for the interference and say that she wants to make you her assistant, so she added truth hiding serum to the dessert. Now you won’t be able to tell the truth to all questions regarding the researcher.
Get information from researchers
Teleport to the Central age in the Main Control Area and go to the West Wing to meet with the Ecology Department researcher. Ask what kind of mess happened at the station - the man will share that small strange creatures crawled out from somewhere in the Storage Area.
Head to the Storage Area
Move to the External Control Center on the first floor of the location and go north to the marked area where the rest of the scientists have already gathered.
As soon as you approach the room, you will receive a number of new assignments. Optional actions: try to create a new life and ask around about Ruan Mei.
To do this, approach the computer and inspect the device to start a dialogue with the man next to you. He will offer to mix some ingredients, which will result in a copy of the phase flame. The choice does not affect the plot, however, allows you to create a unique creature, partly referencing the unusual sides of Ruan Mei's character. You can use any of the options you like, for example, the combination:
- Endlessly burning ion.
- Emotional intellect.
- Ruan Mei's face is impartial.
You can skip additional points and immediately check the noise, approaching researchers from the Department of Applied Arts and the Department of Ecology. According to them, you should leave hearts wherever Mrs. Ruan Mei appeared to meet the venerable Cheese Dumpling, her partner’s main fan.
Perform a mysterious summoning ritual
Click on the button below to make graffiti. Add more heart designs to square on the floor, using the option "Spray" on the right side of the screen until a creature appears.
Talk to Ruan Mei's creature: it will jump onto the table nearby and bark, and a researcher-translator will suddenly appear nearby. He will introduce that same Cheese Dumpling and offer to activate the synesthesia beacon in order to understand strange speech.
Afterwards, you will a researcher from the Department of Ecology via smartphone, who will tell you that living desserts should be thrown into the toilet - a one-way age connected to the Storage Area.
Place Ruan Mei's creation
Run south and look at the toilet in the center of the room, try to put the Cheese Dumpling in there, but it won't fit. The creature is trying to earn the love and recognition of its creator. After a heartfelt conversation, it is better to smoothly activate the teleport so that he is carried away into the funnel.
Your partner will report on the phone about some emergency; she urgently needs help.
Talk to Ruan Mei
Rush to Gerta's Office in the Main Control Area and meet with a member of the Society of Geniuses. The girl wants you to be present at the meeting with her and speak on her side.
Having said “Okay...” you will automatically move to the hall where the creators of the Virtual Universe have gathered. Go forward and meet Ruan Mei. Behave with restraint and do not give away secrets, in any case elections will not affect the plot - you will talk nonsense because of the serum you took.
Follow Ruan Mei to the exit - the meeting will be long and tedious, so she will instruct you to return the remaining life forms, some of them are stored in Isolated area. She will leave your fingerprint on her access card so she can enter a restricted area.
When the conversation ends, leave the Virtual Universe using the portal at the other end of the room.
Take the elevator to the secret area
Get to the central lift on the first floor of the Storage Area and examine the to enter a new area and watch a short cutscene.
Find the mysterious little robot
Go west and talk to the leftover rice-frying robot, from him you will learn how to get to the incubator and some more information about this place.
Then run straight along the corridor, stand on the platform and go down.
Continue searching for clues
Next you will get to the southern part of the second floor of the Isolated Zone - go straight and turn right at the fork. At the end of the path, activate the controller to open the gate leading to the Pharmacy Cabinet.
Examine the computer in the center of the hall and study old recordings in which your partner talks about the source of the phase flame and her creatures - they show themselves well and tend to be close to the creator.
Find the source of the noise
An unexpected sound will distract you from watching - go to the next area and check what it was. Examine the very upset Smoky Bean Paste and try to console her.
The noise is coming from the locked compartment, first go down the stairs and place the Ruan Mei creation. Follow the corridor through the automatically opening doors and reach the Nutrient Medium. Be careful, you will encounter many camouflaged Immature Sting Beetles along the way.
Continue searching for clues
In the same place, check another computer where new records about a member of the Society are stored - the girl got confused and gave up. Go to the next room next to the teleporter and examine the third archive: Ruan seeks to unravel the formula of life itself.
Place Ruan Mei's creation
Follow the corridor on the right to another compartment and check the large green vessels - dip the Smoky Bean Paste into sunbathing, eliminating negative emotions.
Climb the stairs at the other end and explore the secret compartment, where you will meet a small robot. Show your and check the old incubation footage of your partner thinking about emanators. Then open the entrance to the incubator and hear the strange sound again.
Go back upstairs and continue your investigation.
Get to the locked door and activate the controller to shorten the path to the elevator you arrived here on.
Run further along the corridor and use the western lift, or you can immediately teleport to Distribution center on the third floor so as not to waste time.
On the spot you will encounter a strange stranger with a plaster head - he will direct you to the main “masterpiece of genius” hidden in the central incubator.
Behold the "headache"
We recommend preparing your squad in advance before the final battle and adding characters with the following combat type to it: physical, icy and imaginary.
Follow straight to the large gate, go down the elevator and look around the spacious area, where you will encounter the main boss - Bug Lord "Starbreaker".
Skarakabaz (synthetic) deals quantum damage and is especially dangerous in the Reproduction state, as it begins to summon Corrosive Stingbugs onto the field. How to defeat him:
- Destroy the boss' minions — after death they explode and cause damage to the Overlord.
- Monitor the health of your squad and heal them in time before the healer becomes the main target and gets "Binding" status, postponing moves.
- Be sure to take a character into your squad who can take off weakening.
- Try break through Skarakabaz's vulnerability, when he summons new bugs, which will cause them to explode.
- If the squad's survivability is not enough, you can take 2 hills to the team.
Find Ruan Mei
Go to the platform in the Zone and meet the girl - she says goodbye to the Pathfinder, saying that the effect of the previously eaten cake will soon end. The partner leaves the Hertha Space Station, as new research awaits her, and asks to look after her creatures.
The next mission of the continuation of Mastery is "There is no rest for fools".
