In Honkai: Star Rail, Exotic Pet Hunt: Care is an adventure mission and part of the event of the same name. As part of it, you will have to place raised creatures, divide the location into zones, check the condition of pets and create new rarities. If you have difficulties receiving and completing this task, then study our guide.
Completing the quest “Hunting Exotic Pets: Caring”
How to start the task
It starts automatically immediately after completing the previous mission in the chain called “Exotic Pet Hunt: Cultivation.” You will need to first bring your research level to 2. You most likely won’t even notice how one task flows into another.
Place Creatures in the Cat House
Approach the metal table ahead and interact with it. Next, start placing the creatures you created in different places. The game indicates that pets that are similar to each other get along better with each other, but in reality this has little effect, so you can place any creatures in the designated zones.
Currently, you can only place 3 creatures. Confirm their placement, and then listen to your pets – they will really like the new house, so they will give you a Delicious Bean Gingerbread (consumable item).
Find out the cause of the noise
Turn around and run towards the marked area. You'll find Ruan Mei's creatures causing a lot of trash as you play. Approach the Robonian and ask her for advice. She will recommend that you create areas for rest, feeding and learning.
Find a suitable location for the seating area
Go to the area with shelves and cushions. Then press the “R” key (or the round button in the lower right corner) to take out the spray can and apply the pillow graffiti within the orange square.
Find a suitable location for the feeding area
Turn around and approach the table with chairs on which the stove stands. Take the spray can again (R button) and apply a drawing of a bowl of fruit to the orange square, as shown in the picture below. Then talk to the robo-nanny again.
Inspecting the Rest Area
An optional chain quest that requires you to inspect the updated rest area. Approach her and place 3 more creatures on her territory. Then you can listen to what they say to each other.
Inspect the Dining Area
An optional chain quest where you need to inspect the updated feeding area. Approach her and place 3 more creatures on her territory. Then you can listen to what they say to each other.
Don't forget to then pick up the rewards for placing 3, 6 and 9 creatures on the event page.
Raise research level up to 4
To do this, interact with the furnace of life again. You have received new parent creatures with different traits, so you can now raise more unique rarities. Choose a new goal for yourself, and then select the parents shown in the second picture below.
Start raising creatures until you get a mutation – during this mutation, feed the creature “Seeds”. Continue creating pets until a special mutation occurs – use “Seeds” again to obtain the Lambda's Friend rarity.
Choose your next target and then pick up the parents shown in the second picture below.
Start cultivating creatures until you get a mutation – during this mutation, feed the creature “Wind Whirlwind”. Keep creating pets until a special mutation occurs – use Wind Whirlwind again to get the Sesame Cookie rarity.
Choose your third target, and then create a creature with the two base traits you need, choosing the parents shown in the second picture below. As a result, you should have a pet with an orange filler and shell.
Now select the created creature as the first parent and the white-faced pet as the second parent and begin nurturing the creatures until you get a mutation – during this time, feed the creature “Phlogiston”. Continue creating pets until a special mutation occurs – use “Phlogiston” again to get the Chief Bustlemaker rarity.
After creating three rarities, you will receive the 4th research level. This will complete the mission, and you will have access to the next quest, “Hunting for Exotic Pets: The Adventures of Detective Pippi.”
