The “Cleanse Thy Rusted Blood (II)” mission in Honkai Star Rail takes players on a really captivating journey through the mysterious Kremnos. Full of complex puzzles, testing trials, and tactical combat, this mission requires quick thinking and perfect execution. From igniting fire pits and manipulating space-time to uncovering secrets and battling fearsome foes, each step provides new opportunities to show off your skills.
How To Ignite The Fire Pit
After gathering all the memory fragments of Castrum Kremnos, return to the Strife Ruins and proceed to the indicated area. Mem will use the fragments to open a doorway to the Bloodbathed Battlefront Castrum Kremnos. Once inside, walk towards the door until you encounter the Silent Gladiator. Pay attention to the surrounding chatter, then visit the weapon merchant. Purchase a weapon and have Castorice examine it to determine the memory’s time period. Read the nearby scroll to confirm the exact era of Castrum Kremnos you have entered. Finally, head to the main door and team up with Gnaeus to venture into Castrum Kremnos.
In the Kremnos mission “Cleanse Thy Rusted Blood (II),” you will encounter a puzzle that requires some strategic steps to complete. Begin by interacting with the Prophecy Tablet on the left. Arrange the square at the base and the triangle above it to complete the tablet. This action generates a concrete ball and lights one of the braziers. Next, repair the broken pillar near the stairs on the far-right side and proceed to activate the Oronyx’s Prayer enhancing device.
Afterward, return to the first set of stairs on the right side of the room. Climb up and rewind time for the concrete ball to return to its holder. Adjust the ball holder’s direction and hit the ball to break the blocks below. Then, move to the second floor and strike the ball holder there to light the second brazier, unlocking the door to the next area.
Clear The Path With The Hand Of Zagreus
In the next section, use the Hand of Zagreus to smash the crates and open the way forward. If you are thorough, you can collect all the Coins of Whimsy in this area for an additional reward. As you progress, listen for a strange voice and prepare to confront the merchant who has been stealing weapons from fallen warriors. After dealing with him, proceed to the next area to continue the mission.
How To Solve The Fire Pit Trial – 2
This part introduces a more challenging trial similar to the earlier one. Start by climbing the left stairs near the locked door and hit the ball holder to place the ball on one of the pressure plates, igniting the first fire pit. Then, use Oronyx’s Miracle to shift Space Time to Evernight. Utilize the Miracle Orb on the left to repair a broken bridge and the one on the right to remove blue blocks. Cross the bridge to reach another ball holder and activate it to ignite the second fire pit. Return Space Time to Dawn, which temporarily makes the ball disappear, then use the Miracle Orb by the fire pit to restore it. This opens the door and completes the trial.
Complete the trial to venture into Castrum Kremnos, where Chryseus Leo warns of a plan to make Nikador immortal. With Castorice’s help, communicate with wandering spirits using a Prophecy Tablet to uncover details, arranging symbols to progress. Face and defeat a Furiae Praetor, discovering its shared immortality with Nikador. To restore Nikador’s true essence, undertake the Soul-Forging Ceremony: seal Courage, Honor, Tenacity, and Sacrifice in the statues using sacred artifacts like Oronyx’s Prayer, the Hand of Zagreus, and the Miracle Orb. Confront Nikador’s true form, the Strife Titan, reclaim the coreflame, and conclude your journey by returning to Okhema and meeting Mem.
