In Honkai: Star Rail The Thread Curls, Will Respond in Past Affairs is a mission to continue exploration and part of the “Duel Under the Azure Sky II” chain, during which you have to find all the clues in the House of Shackles, following the smoke of Lingshi Incense, and fight the Howling Coffin. If you have any difficulties with receiving or completing the quest, then study our guide.
Walking through the quest “The thread is twisted, will respond in past affairs”
How to start the quest
It starts automatically immediately after completing the previous mission of the line called “Signal Fires Flash, Battle to Come”. Open the journal, find the corresponding task and start tracking it. If the quest does not appear, try moving to another location or logging out of your account and re-logging in after 20-30 minutes.
Examine the corpse of the Borisinets
Note that in this mission you will receive a trial Linshu (Abundance: Fire), who acts as a healer in the squad. At the same time, she is able to enhance the effect of penetration and perform bonus attacks. She can become a good ally for such damage dealers as Firefly, Boothill, Topaz or Feixiao.
So, first of all, go to the body of the dead monster. You will learn that the Borisins were able to pretend to be representatives of the fox people with the help of a special potion (medicine). Someone is clearly supplying them with this drink in Lofu Xianzhou.
Follow the smoke of incense (how to find all the clues)
You will need to follow the pinkish haze. Along the way, you will be able to study various clues (this is optional – it will not affect the reward, but you will be able to learn additional information). Go down to the marker and examine the guard's body on the left (a clue).
Go to the right, bypassing or destroying the enemy on the way. Inspect another body(a hook) next to the screen. Next, use the partition to go down, and continue walking to the right to the marker. Once you reach it, start climbing up, but before that, examine another corpse near the green console.
Once you reach the top, head towards the barrier ahead, then turn left and interact with the screen to warp down. Run to the next marker, which will take you straight to the Howling Coffin.
Suddenly, the enemy will come to life, and you will have to fight him. He is not much different from the same enemies that you fought in previous quests. The main thing is not to forget to use Linshi's abilities to restore health to allies, perform bonus attacks and increase penetration.
Continue to follow the smoke of incense
After dealing with the enemy and watching the cutscene, continue going down, following the smoke. Once at the bottom, go to the next marker and watch a new cutscene. As part of it, Linsha will come to the conclusion that Hulei was helped to escape from the Vidyadhara prison.
This will end the quest, and as a reward you will receive 600 mastery points, 80 star jades, 5 traveler's guides, 120 thousand credits and 5 lost crystals. You will also gain access to the next quest in the series, “Hammer and Anvil, Soul in the Clutches.”
