Amphoreus World

New Areas

You get to explore five brand-new areas in Amphoreus World. Each one feels different and brings something special to your adventure. The developers designed these places with inspiration from Greek and Roman mythology. You will see Greek patterns, gold and blue colors, tall pillars, and flowing rivers. The world feels alive with crumbling ruins and statues that sometimes move. This makes every step exciting.

You will notice that Amphoreus stands out from other places in Honkai: Star Rail. It is a real planet, not a man-made space. The Strife Ruins area feels like a dungeon, with thick air and lots of secrets. Some puzzles even let you rewind time to solve them. The developers plan to keep adding more to Amphoreus until version 3.7. This means you will have new places to visit and stories to follow for a long time.

Note: The Amphoreus arc will last until Version 3.7, making it the longest main story in Honkai: Star Rail so far.

Story Mission

The main story in Amphoreus World is called the "Heroic Saga of Flame-Chase." You will join the Express crew as they land on Amphoreus because they need fuel. Right away, you face danger and meet the Chrysos Heirs. Your job is to help defend the city of Okhema from a giant enemy called the Strife Titan Nikador.

Here’s how the mission unfolds:

1. Silver Chariot, Away to that Blackened Land: You arrive on Amphoreus, meet the Chrysos Heirs, and fight to protect Okhema.

2. Distant Travelers, Listen to this World's Prayer: Aglaea, the leader, asks you to keep secrets from the people of Okhema.

3. Night Stars, Accompany My Slumber: You learn that Aglaea controls Okhema more than you thought.

4. Wasteland, Hark Back Glory of Old: You travel to Castrum Kremnos, a ruined city, and face Nikador again.

5. Night Veil, Shroud the Silent Past: Nikador tries to destroy everything, but Mydei steps in to help you plan your next move.

The lore in Amphoreus World feels deep and mysterious. Ancient Titans once shaped this world, but a terrible war left it in ruins. Now, the people live in fear and hope for the prophecy of the Chrysos' Heirs to come true. You will feel the weight of history and the hope for a better future as you play.

Exploration Features

Exploring Amphoreus World feels fresh and fun. You get new tools and puzzles that make you think. You can switch between two main states using special items. This lets you change reality, control a giant titan hand, and even rewind time to clear paths.

• The Hand of Zagreus helps you lift heavy objects, smash walls, and reach new places in Castrum Kremnos.

• Some puzzles need you to use time-rewinding powers to solve them.

• You will meet new enemies like Hearse, Nikadory, Unicorn, and Griffin. Unicorn and Griffin have special moves that target your team in new ways, so you need to plan your battles.

You also get to try new Trailblaze Missions. These missions tell a rich story and give you lots of rewards. As you progress, you unlock the "As I've Written" feature. This starts empty but fills up as you finish more of the story. You collect Nameless Recollection, which you use to compose Sagas and unlock new cards.

Here’s a look at the rewards you can earn:
