First Night In Belobog! | First Time Playing A Hoyoverse Game! | Honkai Star Rail #5

We have been on Jarilo VI for not even a day, and Geparde of the silvermane guards is taking us to see the supreme guardian, Cocolia. I already have questions... who is Sampo, who are the Architects, who is the devil of the hotel, and why is trash so awesome?!

[@DonnyVick]

You know that scene at the end of the movie, "Princess Mononoke" where the main character is screaming, offering the forest spirits head back to it? That's how I feel every time I release one of these videos lmao.

[@mango-float]

Hey man, I would suggest a bit more appealing thumbnail such as a close up image of a character related to the current episode I feel like your content is already entertaining and a good thumbnail would wrap it up nicely

[@Nowaylarry]

That is an apt as well as unsettling comparison. I'm sure the channel growth feels rewarding but don't burn yourself out.

[@benjaminroe311ify]

Not gunna lie. Finding the trashcan for the first time was a mood and climbing into that closet in the hotel and defeating the hotel devil is a legendary moment not soon to be forgotten.

Aaaah the magic the of Belobog's trashcans (Also the Trailblazer is canonically a trash racoon/panda that LOVES to rumage through garbage)

[@roastinginpurgatory1400]

Yeah, the dialogue in the game is hilarious. If you want to see another hilarious dialogue, go to the data bank, then faction and go down to Masked Fools (Elation) and read the quote at the top. Fun fact: Aha, the Aeon of Elation, literally saw a baby fall on their head and THEY laughed so hard that they became an Aeon. One of the most unpredictable and interesting aeons in the game.

[@ktben6125]

Btw, small note for you: If you accidentally skip pass dialogue or don’t understand the context of it, there is a thing on the top left corner of your screen that let you read the dialogue and a button that allow the character to say that line again.

[@testingabc6207]

He knew that already .. idk which episode in the video but I do remember him checking it

[@Whispersmith646]

Ep 1 I think

[@hugothibodeau6137]

the protagonist of this game is know as a Racoon within the community since trough the dialogues when you interact with the trashcan it elaborate that this is who "we" are, even the dev push on it and in official video we see the trailblazer searching trash or hiding within. this is why some of us call Caelus (male mc) and Stelle (female mc) the Trashblazer

[@cowgba]

Yeah they lean so hard into the raccoon/trashcan thing, even the galactic baseballer event depicted TB as a raccoon lmao. I always wonder if that was the plan from the start or if they started doing that after seeing how much the community latched on to it in 1.0.

[@hugothibodeau6137]

@@cowgba maybe a mix of both. They probably intended to go that way but started slow to make sure the community liked it. The lordly trashcan are probably in the same boat

[@haroldtheylez]

yeah I just finished the episode 4 and now see this uploaded lol, perfect timing

[@LuckyAnomaly]

This is slowly becoming my favorite part of the day

[@YTHandlesBlow]

I like that Serval is the young-old person in the game once you think about it. It explains right away she's Cocolia's old friend and went to school/service with her, remember Bronya is Cocolia's child so if you think about it Serval is in her age group meaning at least twice Bronya's age. Bronya went to school and is in military service, so many rpg's are mainly a group of teenagers with maybe one or two older people in the group so having an older cast right away shown in Star Rail seems like a breath of fresh air.

[@fazadhikarizqkoswara9429]

12:50 Keep playing, you'll be surprised that there's more trash can lore and why we trailblazer are proud being associated with trashcans XP EDIT: HE'S ONE OF US BOIS! HE'S ONE OF US! KEEP PLAYING DONNY! THIS GAME KEEPS GETTING BETTER AND GOOFIER XD

[@Ligmyster]

The trashcan lore goes hard

[@rolyat4035]

The trash can lore in the game is deep, and hilarious. No joke the community usually refers to the MCs as raccoons. Lol

[@lavashot449]

DV, a few words of wisdom from a Star Rail junkie. 1: Level up characters to 20, and maybe beyond depending on how much stuff you have 2: The Speed Up function during battle is your best friend 3: Level up Light Cones early for easy clears on higher content 4: The Calyx's can have higher difficulty and can run up to 6 waves at a row to maximize your rewards 5: PULL ON THE BANNERS, STANDARD AND SPECIAL. Its easy to get 4 Star Lightcones and characters, as well as 5 Star characters to make your story go by smoother

[@cowgba]

Regarding number 5, I would only recommend using jades on the limited character banners. Standard banner isn't worth it unless the game specifically gives you silver tickets for it. The 5 star character selector isn't good enough to be worth spending 300 pulls worth of jades just to rush it, and over time you'll likely get all the standard 5 stars just from losing 50/50s on limited banners. Imo the 5 star standard selector should be treated more like "hey you've probably got most of the standard 5 stars by now from limited banners, but go ahead and pick one if you're missing any." Also, do dailies and events, always. Especially in Star Rail, it's so fast and easy to do the dailies that there's no reason not to. Literally takes 5 minutes on auto-battle lol.

[@ZerkaiGG]

You should be able to get your crew to 20 easily with the level up materials you have. You also get the leftover "change" so to speak if you spend a blue or purple one and hit the EXP limit with some EXP leftover. Also the Trailblaze power you don't use gets saved up over time. Only other tip I'll give is to remember to level up your Light Cones on your characters too, as that's their weapons; Leveling them up increases your HP, ATK, and DEF.

[@cowgba]

You do save up "overcapped" energy but if I remember right the extra energy accumulates much more slowly, so it's more economical to use it up before it's full.

[@saturn446]

The closet is the moment I decided I was going to stick with this game it's so good

[@Spacolittle]

the writing for this game (not onky for quests but also every little things you can interact with) is absolutely hilarious. The writers are probably chronically online because its just full of memes

[@Nowaylarry]

Fun fact, Serval is seemingly in her mid to late 30's. As for the Astral Express crew, they are all pretty decent units for most of the story content. Danny Boy falls off a bit by end game without heavy investment and extra copies of him but March is surprising useful even in end game content. With a good relic build she is a crowd control monster for anything not immune to freeze. The main character while just pretty good for now, will eventually be the best free character in the game.

[@Dodo-fm1mr]

I clicked on the vid and immediately thought did he actually pull for a character yet

[@stephanieworkman5110]

15:56 Yay! You’re one of us trash pandas! All hail the glorious trash cans!

[@hadeserebus5006]

1:01:37 There are actually four main types of gameplay and dmg teams rn: 1) the usual Crit DPS hypercarry teams 2) Damage over Time (DoT) Teams (Kafka is crucial in this because she is a DoT enabler) 3) Follow-up Attack (FuA) Teams 4) Break Teams (Break was recently added as a viable gameplay due to the new Super Break mechanic, which you will see in the in-game tutorials). One of the reasons I like HSR is that they added a variety to players and allow them to explore diff gameplay that they would enjoy. Currently waiting for Kafka rerun to finally put my DoT characters to good use.

[@Milouka]

The grind is crazy like oh my congrats on reaching almost 3k you got this man!

[@haroldtheylez]

1:01:38 "I want to make a team that is just all follow up attacks" I have good news for you, follow up meta just happened and is continuing to happen with the next two banners Yunli and Jade [unfortunate you didn't get the free Dr Ratio, he was a follow up attacker... but I think he might be due for a rerun soon-ish]. I actually had an all follow up team in one of the last endgame hard modes with March! [she and Aventurine - another follow up shielder - were my MVPs of keeping me alive while dealing damage together]

[@hugothibodeau6137]

also if you have some question abous specific mecanic i can try to help. For example: with Caelus (the mc), his skill deal more damage than his basic ATK however with his ultimate it is the single target that hurt more than the AOE. Also March 7th's shield increase the chance of getting targetted by enemy

[@Alisa-dz7oz]

The key to not simping is to focus on aesthetics and design! ...Okay, in all honesty I'm asex-aroe and the closest I come to simping is platonic adoration and wanting to squeeze the air out of a character. I have a LOT of plushies... You're paying attention to the item dialogue and discovered the trashcan and closet. That's amazing. It only goes up from here.

man going through belobog story again just makes me realize how much pela truly sounds like changsheng, so snakey no matter what lol

[@cowgba]

If Final Fantasy character design is characterized by 50 extraneous belts on every outfit, Hoyoverse character design is characterized by tights/thigh highs, exposed shoulders, and clothing windows.

[@Pamasich]

That scene where you jump through the portal, you were wondering afterwards whether you're in another dimension. In the first closed beta test, the fragmentum actually used to be another dimension which you would enter through those portals. The devs did a major rewrite of the story and lore between that test and the next one, and they forgot to change some parts of the story like that cutscene to fit the new lore. So yeah, your intuition there was actually accurate to the original idea behind that cutscene, it's just that the cutscene reflects outdated lore.

Our Raccoon's love for trash and trash cans knows no bounds. The most canon ship in the game, Trailblazer x Trash Can fr (this is a joke). There are a lot of references, easter eggs, and 4th wall breaking. HSR is very unhinged with its humor, perfect way to balance out their depressing storylines and missions lmao

You can also upgrade them in characters menu using Lightcone EXP • For fighting regular enemies, 2x speed will speed up the process
