The Doomsday Beast in Honkai Star Rail – The first true boss encountered by the Pathfinder during the Enduring Shadows story mission in the Zone on the Hertha space station. The Doomsday Beast is made up of fragments of the Twilight Leviathan and cannot be defeated without destroying the Dark Matter Core, as well as the right and left arms. The boss has two stages and can easily wipe out an unprepared squad.
In this guide, we will tell you in detail which characters to take into the squad to defeat the Doomsday Beast. Read on to find out all boss attacks and weaknesses in Honkai Star Rail.
Which characters to take against the Doomsday Beast
All three key body parts have vulnerable to fire damage, which means that area attacks with penetration of fire vulnerability will bring maximum efficiency.
Part of the squad will necessarily include story characters, so it's important to pick the last squad member who can maximize the overall effectiveness of the squad.
| Character 1 | Character 2 | Character 3 | Character 4 | Features |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Pioneer |
Himeko |
March 7 |
Asta |
The trailblazer has physical damage. This is a good unit that is not difficult to defeat at all, considering that the Engine Core has a physical vulnerability, and Himeko and Asta will quickly destroy body parts with fire damage. March 7 here also acts as a and helps to complete what has been started. |

Pioneer |
Himeko |
March 7 |
Dan Heng |
Not the strongest squad due to the presence of only one fighter with fire damage - Himeko. But it is important to note that all parts of the body have one vulnerability to physical, ice or wind damage, which means that Pathfinder, March 7 and Dan Heng will be able to point to destroy parts of the Boss's body. |

Pioneer |
Himeko |

Hook |
An analogue of the squad with Asta, but instead of her, the main fire damage here is done by Hook. These characters will easily take apart the boss, but keep in mind that in the early stages, not everyone will be able to knock out the Hook with the help of Jumps. |

Pioneer |
Himeko |
March 7 |
Cheetah |
A unit in which the emphasis on damage is shifting towards the ice type of attacks. Given the presence of vulnerabilities to ice, as well as the presence of physical and fire damage in the face of Himeko and Pathfinder, the boss will be defeated. But it is important to note that the Cheetah can only be obtained by knocking out with tickets in Jumps. |

How to defeat the Doomsday Beast
The cutscene with the boss will start as soon as you reach the arch with the third number in the " Zone" location.
However, here are some tips that will greatly help you get closer to victory:
- Worth it if possible save ultimate abilities before the start of the final battle: then, from the very first turn, you can bring down all superpowers on the Doomsday Beast and quickly end the 1st phase of the battle.
- Also important save the energy accumulated in phase 1 to enter the 2nd phase of the battle, in which the boss becomes much stronger, but if all the ultimate abilities were activated on the first turn, then in the second phase almost all of them will be ready.
- Destroying the core, right and left arms is the key to victory, so it is important to constantly attack these parts of the body area damage and not be distracted by the defense of your squad (an exception is if a member of the squad with fire damage is on the verge of death).
Do not forget that you can use superpowers out of turn order, and even during an enemy attack, the Doomsday Beast will die without any problems.

The main thing is to hit the boss while he is in a vulnerable state with normal attacks and not like me - I spent all my ults and abilities on him at the moment of stun, thinking that he will get up now and the shields will be updated)). As a result, the pack died at the second stage. While the boss is lying down, you just need to hit him with normal attacks so that everyone has everything charged. And put Asta in the squad instead of the guy (he drops according to the story from the first spin) and pump her up with the available books. Asta + Himeko will easily demolish the boss.
Thank you. Made a couple of mistakes in the order, but won.
I can’t do it, I’ll probably delete it 😥
