In Honkai: Star Rail, Clockwork of Forla is a Penaconia side quest in which you have to help a celebrity manager, finding the actor Poppot and trying to persuade him to stay. This is one of the conditions for unlocking the “Opressive Reality and Ephemeral Dream” achievement. If you have difficulty obtaining and completing the mission, then study our guide.
Completing the adventure mission “Clockwork: Forla”
How to start the task
First of all, you will need to complete the quest line “The Sound and the Fury”. After this, teleport to the spatial anchor “Aiden's Park” on the second floor of the Golden World, and then run west and approach the pepeshi named Forla. Talk to her and select the “Start Clockwork” option.
Next, you will need to activate the emoticon dial using the “Sadness” gear. In a separate guide, we told you where you can find such parts. Now listen to the celebrity manager (you can choose any answers) and agree to help her.
How to find Poppot and persuade him to stay
Teleport to the Ochi Mall anchor and run to east by going up the stairs. On the right side of the room you will find the pepeshi you need, with whom KMM employees will talk.
Intervene in the conversation. Next, select the answer “Let me say a few more words to him…” to be allowed to talk to the actor. Then tell him, “She’s doing this for your career and your own good.” Unfortunately, you will not be able to convince him, but you will receive several Aiden tokens from the KMM manager.
Return to Forla and talk to her again. Tell her that Poppot will continue to work as an actor. This will complete the task and you will receive your reward. It makes no sense to change the girl’s emotions on the emoticon dial, since you will not receive any additional reward for this.
How to open the achievement “Opressive Reality and Ephemeral Dream”
After completing this quest and the task “Clockwork: Larose”, move to another region (for example, Yarilo-VI), and then return back to the Golden Moment, to Aiden Park. Go again to the place where you talked with Forla earlier. Here you will find the manager talking with LaRose.
Listen to their conversation. Forla will want the girl to perform a new version of “Song of Beauty,” but she will refuse, believing that this will prevent her from becoming a universal star. When the conversation between the girls is completed, you will unlock the corresponding achievement, for which you will receive 5 star jades.
