The world ofHonkai: Star Railholds many secrets that players can discover while exploring. In Penacony, which is one of the biggest maps inHonkai: Star Railso far, a neat Easter egg that players can find is a purchasable television that they can bring to the Astral Express.
The television set is the same one that the Trailblazer uses to transform into Brother Hanu and enter the Hanu’s Adventure mini-game to acquire a special chest.Honkai: Star Railfans can get the TVfrom Graysen in Dreamflux Reef, who’s selling a Television (Limited Edition) for two Golden Limited Aideen Tokens. Once purchased, it can be placed in the Astral Express' passenger cabin, which shows that it’s definitely possible to customize the Trailblazer’s base.
Honkai: Star Rail’s TV Opens Up the Door for Astral Express Customization
Unlike previous HoYoverse titles,Honkai: Star Raildoesn’t have a housing feature or customizable space for the main protagonist.Genshin Impacthas the Serenitea Pot, which is a realm where players can furnish their home and outdoor areas, and welcome other players into their space. There’s also a gardening system to make players feel like they’re playing a cozy farming simulator. Meanwhile,Honkai Impact 3rdhas a more compact housing system in the form of the Dormitory, where chibi versions of Valkyries can hang out and level up their stats. Players can also customize their dorm with decor and furniture that mini Valkyries can interact with.
Honkai: Star Rail’s main base is the Astral Express, which has accessible passenger rooms for Dan Heng andMarch 7th. The Trailblazer doesn’t have a room of their own, which leads many fans to believe that they’ll get a customizable one in the future. However, it doesn’t seem to be in HoYoverse’s plans yet, especially if it wants to keepHonkai: Star Railoptimized for mobile.
But now that players can add a TV on the Astral Express, HoYoverse can still add some form of customization without having to create a new elaborate housing system inHonkai: Star Rail. Just like the TV from Penacony,Honkai: Star Railcould let fans collect souvenirs from different worlds that they could display in the passenger cabin and possibly other parts of the Astral Express in the future. It’s a simple yet possibly effective solution to give it a more personal touch without making major changes toHonkai: Star Rail.
The Next Honkai: Star Rail World Should Give Players More Keepsakes
After Penacony, the Astral Express Crew is gearing up for their journey to thenextHonkai: Star Railworld Amphoreus, which is rumored to be Greek and Roman-themed. Not a lot is known about Amphoreus yet, but this is also a great opportunity forHonkai: Star Railto offer another souvenir for the Astral Express at the end of the adventure.
According to leaks, Amphoreus is rumored to be inspired by Thermae, which is a Greek and Roman hot spring, and will allegedly have time-bending mechanics.
One fun idea would be a marble statue similar to the onesDr. Ratioconjures up during battle. This would be on theme with the rumored Greek and Roman-inspired world, and players could have the freedom to choose the subject for the statue, such as the Trailblazer or even Pom-Pom.
Honkai: Star Railmight not give players a housing feature yet, but souvenirs and keepsakes are still a great way to take a piece of their adventure home with them. It’s similar to how March 7th constantly updates the photo wall in her room with shots she took during their missions: each photo gives a glimpse of important memories. The TV from Penacony is an example of this as it letsHonkai: Star Railfans transform into Brother Hanu and run around the cabin as they please.
