Completing the quest “All these stories are sad” in Honkai: Star Rail
How to start the task
Note that it should start automatically immediately after completing the previous mission of the chain called “The Tell-Tale Heart”. If this does not happen, then try logging out of your account, wait 20-30 minutes and re-login – the corresponding task should appear in the log.
How to catch up with the young Augin (riddle with the sphere thrower)
You will again take control of Aventurine. After talking with the mysterious entity, go up the stairs to the next marker. Then chat with the child standing near the Chasik statue. KMM's top manager recognizes him as Avgin.
Start running after the child, following the sign up. It is not necessary to fight the enemies you meet along the way. Go to the teleporter and talk to yourself again. Then turn right and approach the boy. He will run away from you again, and then sit in the sphere launcher.
Approach the sphere and interact with it. Next you will need to solve a small puzzle. Activate all four rings and then rotate them as shown in the image below. Now press Space to launch yourself down towards the other ball.
Continue forward to the next marker. You can simply bypass the enemies. Then approach the model of the city ahead. Approach the center of the yellow area to start a cutscene in which Aventurine will find topaz. Communicate with “yourself” again. After a long conversation, turn around and walk back. Talk to the boy.
How to play the film
Next, interact with the movie camera installed nearby to start the film. You will need to play the Hamster Knight mini-game. Fast and Furious: Nuts.” In it you need to dodge various obstacles by pressing the roll button (Space key).
If you successfully dodge right in front of an obstacle, you will activate Ultimate Overtake, gaining invulnerability for a short period of time. Don't forget to also collect supplies to restore the energy needed to activate the Nut Rush, which also grants immortality. As a reward for completing the challenge, you will receive star jades.
How to solve the spheromet riddle
After completing the game, run back to the next quest sign and interact with the spheromet. Next, activate all 5 lenses and rotate them in the same directions as shown in the screenshot below. Now move to the other side.
How to get out of the maze
Follow the path forward to the entrance to the maze. The right path will be shown by balloons and sentences floating in the air. First turn left, then right and left again (here you will find a chest).
Turn right and then left to the ball. Walk forward to the dead end and examine the Lost Items. You will reconnect with “yourself.” Then turn around and go where the barrier tapes used to be. Continue running after the letters, and then turn left and find a golden amulet in the circular area.
Run for the words in the air again, and eventually you will be able to get out of the maze. Get into the sphere launcher again and solve the puzzle associated with it. To do this, activate the lenses shown in the screenshot below and rotate them in the indicated directions.
Solving the puzzle with Hanu
Continue running after the child, going down the stairs. Next, interact with the TV to transform into Hana. Turn around, wait until the enemy moves to the left, and sneak under the arch into another area.
Then run up to the rocket launcher and take it. Come out of cover, aim at the telebelly and shoot at it by pressing the left mouse button. Pick up the dropped shell from the enemy and interact with the rocket to pick up the chest above. Go back and click on the TV to restore your previous appearance.
Go again to the child who will be waiting for you at the top. Approaching him will trigger a lengthy cutscene. Apparently, so far everything is going as Aventurin originally intended.
Solve another riddle with the spheromet
After the conversation, take a photo of Kakavacha, and then follow him to another one spheromet. Activate the necessary lenses and turn them in the same directions as shown in the screenshot below in order to move to another ball.
Move further to the handle near the door and interact with it. Then go to the curtain and talk to the boy again. Watch the long video. This will complete the task.
As a reward, you will be given 1200 mastery points, 150 star jades, 800 hour credits, 18 traveler's guides, 220 thousand credits and a music record. You will also have access to the next mission – “A Walk Among the Graves.”
