In Honkai: Star Rail, Exploring the Mara-Infested is a special book and part of the secret quest in Luofu Xianzhou. Once you find out the reason for her disappearance, you can unlock the hidden achievement “Where is the Research of those affected by Mara?” In this guide, we will tell you in detail how to do this.
How to unlock the achievement “Where is the Study of the Mara-Stricken?”
Where to find the lost book Study of the Mara-Stricken
< p>The first thing you need to do is get to the House of Shackles by completing the quest cap “Duel under the Azure Sky I”. Then get to or warp to the anchor “Ice Prison I” located on Floor -1 and immediately turn around. Run to the boxes ahead, on which you will see a strange book illuminated by a spark.
Interact with the book, choose any answer regarding reading books, and then click the “Pick up” button. Note that this item will not be displayed anywhere, but it will disappear from the boxes, so if you arrived in this area but did not find the required volume, then most likely you managed to pick it up earlier.
How to find out the reason why the book ended up in prison
< p>Next, teleport to any other area, and then return back to the teleport point “Ice Prison I”. Turn around, and you will find the New Jailer in front of you. Approach her to start a conversation. You can choose any answers, as they will not affect anything.
The jailer will not be able to find information about why the book was “put” behind bars, so she will allow you to take it. As a result, you will be able to study its contents in the “Books” menu, in the “Luofu Xianzhou” section.
Where to Find Sector Overseer Chii
Travel to the “Scriptorium: Before the Passage” teleporter on Floor 1 of the same location, then turn around and run forward to the stairs. Climb up, turn left and enter a small stone building. In the opposite part, find a girl named Chii and engage in dialogue with her.
After a short conversation with her, select the option “The Mara-affected Research was in the prison cell…” to continue this secret quest.
How to Find Out Why the Mara-Affected Research Book Is Missing
Unfortunately, Warden Chii does not know how exactly the book came to be in the House of Shackles, or why it remained there for so long. However, she will ask you to think about it yourself, noting that you often need to choose the simplest solution to come to a reasonable conclusion.
Next, you will have to choose one of three options. Note that this will not affect the ending of the task and your reward, but will only slightly change the answer, so choose based on your own preferences:
- This book was arrested – the book did something, so they decided to close it in prison.
- Probably, one of the prisoners left the book – a book cannot become a criminal, so it was most likely left by one of the convicts, but it is unclear how exactly he ended up with this work.
- Perhaps the book was forgotten during the development of this game – the developers made a mistake in the previous version, and did not fix it in the following patches, and now they are simply trying to justify themselves by making up a story about the arrest of the book.
Once you listen to the answer, you will unlock the trophy “Where is the Mara-Stricken Research?”. You will also receive a small reward: 3 thousand credits and 2 condensed ether.
