How to start Dudu the Formless hidden quest in Honkai: Star Rail

You can open the task Dudu the Formless after you find scroll “Prisoner: Dudu the Formless”, left outside a prison cell.

Since the assignment relates to hidden missions, it will not be possible to track its stages through the quest log or in-game map.

Where to find the Prisoner: Dudu the Formless scroll

Go to -1 floor to the teleporter Ice Prison 1to go to the camera in the northwest of the area. Defeat the wolf sitting nearby and examine the "List of Prisoners of the House of Shackles: Dudu the Formless" thrown on the floor.

The quest is a reference to Dudu Bibervelt - Doppler from the Witcher universe. These creatures could copy not only the appearance, but also the character of the object. In the English version of the game, the name of the achievement is “Galactic Doppelbatter”, which is closer to the name of the creature’s race, and in the Russian-language localization they chose the name of one of the minor characters in the story “Eternal Flame” and the game The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.

The pioneer finds a scroll containing information about a prisoner who can imitate various living creatures, imitate his voice and appearance in order to deceive. Talk to the jailer, who claims that she just saw the main character in another place - Dudu has stolen the identity of the Pathfinder and is trying to leave the House of Shackles.

Talk to the Patrol Girl and the Puzzled Jailer

After talking with the jailer, express a desire to figure everything out in order to automatically be transported to the first floor of the location where the False Pioneer has already been detained. Listen to the conversation of those gathered and learn from Hongting how the criminal will be checked.

Talk to Suspect #1

Before interrogation in order to establish true identities, talk a little with the double, who skillfully copied not only his appearance and voice, but also some memories.

Replies chosen during the dialogue will not have an impact on further developments during the interrogation.

Answer Suspect #1's question

When you're ready, talk to Hongting and start checking. The suspects will have to exchange several questions, the answers to which only a true Pathfinder can know. In the meantime, the judge will carefully observe their facial expressions, gestures and reactions.

The impostor will speak first:

• Question: There are many lamps in the general carriage of the Star Express, how many of them are floor lamps?

Correct answer: Four.

In reality, the answer to the question is not so important: even if you name the correct number of lamps, Dudu will say that the Pathfinder simply guessed right, and will insist that he is right. This choice does not affect the final rewards and achievements.

Convict the transformed Dudu the Formless

After the Pathfinder needs to ask question to suspect No. 1, here are the answer options as well do not affect the ending of the story. In any case, Dudu will try to get out, but will not give a direct answer, and the guards will figure out who is really pretending. Choose any question:

• “How many round coffee tables are there in the general carriage?” —The impostor will say: “Two coffee tables. A true Starlight Express crew member knows that."
• “Did you know that Dr. Primitive likes to eat bananas?” - Shapeless Dudu will answer: “Of course I know... What?.. What kind of question?”
• “Do you know that last time I pulled out a guarantor in gachapon?” - Suspect No. 1 will answer: “And what will my answer to this question prove?”
• “Who likes me the most: Xueyi, Hanya or Hoho?” - The answer will be: “I just know that they all definitely like me.”
• “What number is in the hundredth place after the decimal point in Pi?” - Dudu will ask: “Nine... Wait a minute! What is that expression of sudden insight on your face?”

Having finished the interrogation, Hongting will arrest the formless spirit, and the arriving Hanja will propose a duel between Dudu and the Pioneer to make sure that the choice made is correct. It will not come to a fight, since the impostor will be very frightened by the mere thought of having to enter the ring with a strong opponent. Say goodbye to the judges and the hidden quest will end.

Subsequently, returning to the Doppler camera, you can communicate with him and ask questions of interest.
