Walkthrough of Return of the Dragon in Honkai: Star Rail

As you progress through the Moon Eater quest with Dan Heng, you will encounter his past, confront the negatively minded Vidyadhara, and in the company of Bailu you will get to the Scaled Gorge to the Ambrosia Tree and you can learn more about the Great Sinner.

Meet Dan Heng at Zhomu Pavilion

Travel north of the Exalted Sanctum, where you will a conversation between the Moon Eater and Huangxi, one of Bailu's handmaidens, in an open pavilion. The Vidyadhara Lady will ask that the current High Elder not be disturbed, as she was forced into the role as a child and against her will by Dan Feng.

Huanxi will explain that this happened contrary to the established rules, since the Great Sinner violated the order of succession to the title of Supreme Elder. Having said that the wisest ones decided to restore the system and find a new candidate for this post, the maid will go to the crossing at the Scaled Gorge. When Dan Heng announces that he is going to restore the seal of the Ambrosia Tree and see Bailu, go to the star skiff nearby.

Find a scoop and go to the Alchemy Commission

In front of the star skiff, the company is stopped by the healer Luying, who advises Dan Heng to leave Lofu Xianzhou, as he is causing problems for the Supreme Elder. In the dialogue, you will learn that everyone only criticizes Baila, but the people from the Alchemy Commission believe in her.

After the conversation, go to the skiff, talk to him and select the phrase "Yes, let's go"to travel to the Grotto of the Alchemy Commission.

Meet the Supreme Elder and the envoy

To the south of the spatial anchor, you will accidentally meet Jing Yuanundergoing treatment with Bailu. The general will share information that there has always been a struggle between the Supreme Elder and the wisest, but now they have found the right moment to return power and order.

Proceed further to the end of the harbor, the enemy and begin a conversation with Huanxi. Almost immediately, outside Vidyadharas will intervene, not intending to let Dan Heng into their shrine.

With a trial Moon Eater, complete the fight against the Unwelcome Guests, 3 Apprentice Sanctus Medicus: Inner Alchemists (vulnerabilities: physical, imaginary damage).

In dialogue with Huanxi, say "Let's go", after which you will be able to complete the Reconnaissance challenge, automatically teleporting to the Scaled Gorge. As a prerequisite, take a trial or existing Tribute to Heng the Moon Eater. In the process, you will encounter several enemies:

• Apprentice Sanctus Medicus: Werewolf (vulnerabilities: ice, wind, imaginary damage).
• Soldier struck by Mara (vulnerabilities: fire, ice, quantum damage).
• Apprentice Sanctus Medicus: Inner Alchemist (vulnerabilities: physical, imaginary damage).
• Apprentice Sanctus Medicus: Ballistarius (vulnerabilities: physical, ice, wind damage).
• Beast of Plenty: Timberwolf (vulnerabilities: fire, wind, imaginary damage).
• Beast of Plenty: Golden Hound (vulnerabilities: ice, electric, quantum damage).

At the Trial Moon Eater 145 speed, so you can set the team from this indicator so that the rest of the characters, if possible, go before it. As a reward for the test you will get:

• travel guide ×6;
• lost crystal ×6;
• credits × 60.

Head to the Ambrosia Tree and restore the seal

The Supreme Elder will meet Dan Heng for the first time and ire his strength. The Moon Eater will inform her that he does not plan to inherit the title, after which he will go with her to restore the seal of the Ambrosia Tree.

As you walk forward to the sparkling point, a new conversation will begin with Bailu about the Transmutation Arcanum ritual, which left the Moon Eater with Dan Feng's powers.

After Dan Heng and Bailu perform the Seal Repair, there will be a fight with:

• 2 Apprentice Sanctus Medicus: Ballistarius (vulnerabilities: physical, ice, wind damage).
• 1 Mara-stricken soldier (vulnerabilities: fire, ice, quantum damage).
• 1 Disciple of the Sanctus Medicus: Inner Alchemist (vulnerabilities: physical, imaginary damage).

Escape Scaled Gulch with an Echo Mirage

At the end of the battle, Dan Heng will assume that the enemies used cloud hymns and, due to them, acquired invisibility, so they were able to get close unnoticed. Having restored the characters, move deeper into the location.

An echo mirage with an old voice will confuse Dan Heng with the Great Sinner, mention the summoning of the "ill-fated dragon" by the method of the Transmutation Arcanum ritual, and the almost complete destruction of the Scaled Gorge. Eater of the Moon will offer to collect echo mirages and scatter them in the form of an echo to easily detect those who are "hiding under water."

For further progress it is necessary use echo mirageby pressing the key "R" or on the locator icon at the bottom right of the screen. The "hiding the cloud anthem" mechanic will allow you to reveal invisible opponents who are in the location at almost every turn.

It is not necessary to fight with everyone, since the main goal is to reach the end of the location. However, if you want to learn more plot points, in order to some echomirages, you will have to engage in battle with enemies nearby.

Run to the stairs and up it, then turn left and move on to the echo mirage marked with a purple star. Before him, a couple of opponents stand on the sides of the stairs, in the age above it, in a dead end to the right, and another group is on the way to the echo mirage.

The mirage at the spatial anchor with a gentle female voice turns out to be the former head alchemist, asking Bayla to return to the Forbidden Mansion. According to her, the dragon girl is the key to the Arcanum Transmutation ritual, and the Great Sinner made a discovery in it that allows the Vidyadhara people to reproduce by mixing with representatives of other races.

After the conversation, turn left, where there will be two groups of opponents. To learn information from the optional echo mirage, you will have to fight them or run to a safe distance to stop the pursuit and return back.

The Echomirage with the distorted voice is an apothecary who does not believe that Baylu is capable of being the Supreme Elder. He will be a follower of Medicus, through whom the Vidyadhara will supposedly be able to increase the population and obtain offspring.

Follow to the echomirage marked with a purple star with an angry voice. Cloud Knight will tell about the broken faith and disappointment in Dan Feng, with whom he was on the battlefield, but was deceived.

Meet Huanxi and leave Scaly Gorge

Then you can listen to another optional echo mirage, but for this you will have to fight with several groups of enemies. Be careful, because one of them is located further than the mirage.

A timid-voiced Vidyadhara named Yuanli is Bailu's former maidservant. She was dismissed for her unwillingness to obey the wisest ones, who in turn fear the dragon girl.

More enemies are hidden between the next stairs, but you can run past them to the next point, where a battle with trial characters will take place.

Huanxi will let it slip and reveal the true identity of a traitor who arbitrarily wants to eliminate a weak candidate for the Supreme Elder.

The battle will provide a trial Moon Eater, Bayla and Pathfinder. The battle will not be difficult if you do not forget about healing and shields. In the first wave you need to kill:

• 2 Apprentice Sanctus Medicus: Inner Alchemists (vulnerabilities: physical, imaginary damage).
• 2 Mara-struck Soldiers (vulnerabilities: fire, ice, quantum damage).

With the second wave, the squad will Jing Yuan with a fully charged superpower that should be used instantly. Among the enemies will be:

• 3 Apprentice Sanctus Medicus: Inner Alchemists (vulnerabilities: physical, imaginary damage).
• 1 Mara-stricken soldier (vulnerabilities: fire, ice, quantum damage).
• 1 Apprentice Sanctus Medicus: Werewolf (vulnerabilities: ice, wind, imaginary damage).

It is not known whether what happened was the intention of the wisest or one of Bailu's servants, since Huanxi would prefer to die on the spot, but according to the general, this is the work of the wisest.

Speak to Bailu and seal the Tree

Approach Bile for a short conversation. The little dragon girl will tell you that the Vidyadhara have teachers instead of family and Dan Heng has practically become one for her, after which the test will be completed and you will receive a reward.

Upon returning to the harbor of the Alchemy Commission, Jing Yuan will ask Dan Heng if he would like to stay on Lofu. Depending on the choices, a couple of the following lines will change:

• "Dan Heng is the property of the Star Express" Jing Yuan will laugh and say that he is not going to take away the Moon Eater.
• “Stay. We will often write to each other" – Jing Yuan will be surprised that the Pathfinder is ready to part with the Moon Eater so easily, to which he will reject the offer and say that he “needs an express like Nameless”
• "Wait for Dan Heng's response" - The Moon Eater will say that "the express needs it like the Nameless", to which Jing Yuan will reply "what a pity."

After the end of the task, you can talk to Jing Yuan, but you will not hear anything important from him.
