Walkthrough of the quest "Stars Whirlwind, Epiphany Comes" in Honkai: Star Rail
Arrived at the port of Astrologer Navalia, the Pioneers begin the search for Kafka. Like any prey, it must have left its footprints in the port.
Look for clues related to Kafka
In the Port Zvezdochet Navaliya using Deetin's skill, you can find three clues in the highlighted areas. Use the ability by clicking on R keyto see a circle mark indicating one of the holds:
- The first clue in the form Cloud Knight Weapon Shards hidden next to the house near the spawn point in the location.
- Next hint - unexploded grenade, left next to the vase in the second search area.
- The last clue will be broken jade tag, which can be found in another vase on the edge of the last quest marker.
After collecting all the clues, start tracking down Kafka with the help of Deetin. Activate his skill and follow the trail to the gate in the western part of the location.
Track down Kafka with Deetin
After ing through the archway and going down the elevator, follow the path from the stairs. Focusing on the task marker, go up to the platform in the northern part of the location. After reaching the checkpoint, use Deetin's skills to see the footprints leading to the bridge.
Climb the bridge and go down the stairs to watch a cutscene and encounter Kafka for the first time. The girl will escape from her pursuers, leaving a group of Cloud Knights.
Enemies will not become a problem on the way of the group. Despite a limited set of vulnerabilities to the fiery, windy and imaginary elements, the enemies have low HP, which will allow you to win fairly quickly without first preparing the squad for battle.
Catch up with Kafka
After defeating the Cloud Knights, continue moving and follow the quest marker to the stairs leading down. With the help of Deetin's skills, you can highlight Kafka's footprints leading to the landing behind the hall with cargo containers.
Having reached the next checkpoint, the group will again miss Kafka, who disappeared behind the gate and cut off the path to it.
Get to the other side of the gate
To get to Kafka another way, use the controller and set the conveyor belt in motion by selecting the option "Move Right". Thus, the boxes in front of the platform will move and a path will open to the other side of the hall.
When you reach the opposite side, use another controller and activate the tape by selecting the function "Move Right".
The shifted boxes will open the way to the platform behind the gate where Kafka hid. Go down the stairs to the age and follow the task mark.
Move south of the location and turn east to try to catch up with Kafka once again.
Find another way to follow Kafka
Keep following forward until you get to a location with cargo boxes. Next to the job label, find the controller and open the path further by selecting the option "Move Left".
The conveyor belt will move the box out of the way and allow you to go further. Follow the stairs ahead to finally find Kafka. Before talking to a girl we recommend setting up a squad in advance for a more effective subsequent battle. Kafka, like the Cloud Knights guarding her, is vulnerable to imaginary, wind and physical damage. Assemble a squad with at least one hero wielding the named elements to knock down Kafka's shield. Also, to remove the negative effects imposed by the skills of a criminal, we recommend having Armor.
After a conversation and requests to surrender, a battle with Kafka will begin. If the knights are not a big problem, then the girl's attacks and skills are a danger to the team. Kafka is not only capable of inflicting a large amount of damage with regular and bonus attacks, but also hangs a negative effect on group that prevents them from making moves for some time.
During the “arrest” of the girl, the Pioneers will come to the aid of Fu Xuan - High Seer. The charioteer will take the criminal and lead the group to the Commission on Divination, where Kafka will be interrogated.
Go to Exalted Shrine Square
Instead of a commission, due to the anomalies caused by Stellaron, the skiff will take the gathering to the Exalted Shrine. Fu Xuan will leave the Pathfinders and promise to them a little later, after which he will ask to find her envoy in Exalted Sanctuary Square. through the archway to enter the main street of the settlement.
Seek out Fu Xuan's envoy
After meeting with Bailu and battles with Cloud Knights smitten by Mara, walk around the Exalted Sanctuary Square and try find Fu Xuan's envoy. Talk to the two men on the west side of the street: Guanda from the Balance Commission and by Sunyan from the Commission on Predictions. After talking with them, the Pathfinders will approach Dahao's envoy and invite you to visit the Commission, after which the quest "The whirlpool of stars, insight is coming" will end.
