The Final Goodbyes, Farewell Penacony 2.3 Finale | First HSR Playthrough | Honkai Star Rail #78

[@razriga]

I really enjoyed your playthrough, banana.

[@markomoko_o]

I agree with you, bana

[@adir6094]

Same bana

Absolutely agree, bana~

1:20:22 this whole conversation is what cemented acheron as my favorite penacony character, and i've never even played HI3. girl's got _nothing_ going for her in life - no homeworld, losing her memories, and can barely make friends - and yet remains optimistic that she'll be able to beat the nihility. even when aventurine had his moment of doubt, acheron just went "stop that. you're still alive, and that's what matters." truly no one doing it like her.

[@GenuisSocietyNo83Herta]

Wait donny didn't find the Rick roll doll Nooooo

[@alysaadriana9890]

yeahhh i want donny to find that doll :(

[@xXzman9000Xx]

Just a little reminder to read the text message from the "doll". it may or may not explain why sparkle is even on penacony and why she did everything she did.

[@Yuki_Ika7]

Agreed

[@Delta.-_O.]

Like Fireworks to a flame, Life begets death

[@mattchu9560]

I WAS SCARED THERE FOR A SEC THINKING THAT U DIDN’T GET ACHERON’S OPTIONAL SCENE BUT IM GLAD U TALKED TO HER AGAIN AND EXPLORED THE OPTIONS YAYYY

[@covier7191]

*//A Masked Fool has initiated a temporary conversation.* Surprise, General! Did you miss me? I bet the pretty fireworks were more than enough to make everyone forget about poor ol' Sparkle... oh, how cruel! To be cast aside like trash... even trash has feelings too, you know! You couldn't even leave me a nice present! How could you build that genius a grave but leave me with a bear trap? Not even a bear would be happy with this - apologize to the bears! And here I thought I was the favorite... Oh well, I suppose I can settle for second banana~ Aw, what's wrong? Why so serious? I'm only here to congratulate you on a job well done. Personally, I would've preferred telling you this in person, but some fox-eared weirdo stopped me at the door - she even sliced the Mutually Assured Destruction Button I had prepared for you in two! You must've paid her a hefty sum if she's this determined to guard a flimsy door. But that's all in the past now, and I'd rather not overstay my welcome. You've got a lotta eyes on you now, and cheering you on from the shadows is more my style anyway. See you around, General. Assuming I haven't already found another way in, that is~ *//This account is no longer available due to multiple reports by other users.* *//This account has been deleted.*

[@covier7191]

Weird; I don't remember ever writing that. Anyway, I highly recommend you check out the texts from the Message Doll. I promise it has some pretty fascinating things to share. After that's done... it was a long time coming, but you're now finally eligible to watch *Sweet Dreams Curtain Call - "The Great Tatalov Salutes You".* Enjoy!

[@thederp9309]

New Years is stacked… this video… the HSR stream, Genshin update, Hoyofair, WuWa 2.0

[@XtrmPlays]

Penacony was amazing for me. I laughed, I cried (damn you Robin during the Sunday fight). "Unbreakable bonds and noble sacrifices, sprinkled with moments of levity to counterbalance the pathos. It's got it all."

[@hadeserebus5006]

DV DO AND RECORD THE "CHECKING OUT" SIDE MISSION. PLEASE. PLEASE. PLEASE.

[@MetricPolygon]

I second this, checking out is peak

[@ChickenPaulz]

Yeah this quest was too good

[@sumagestad4962]

YEEEEEES MY FAVORITE CHATACTERS INTERACTING IN ONE MISSION THAT'S NOT AN EVEN???

[@Yuki_Ika7]

Agreed, it is hilarious

[@MissMissyArt]

yippee new video!! i highly enjoyed penacony and the playthrough :3 as a lore lover its great to see someone engage with the lore instead of skipping dialogue.

[@zoegoesghost]

you know a story is touching when our general ALMOST cries

[@art.xelerator_]

48:14 goddamn to think i forgot about this XD good foreshadowing for future quest

[@grandadmiralthrawn3683]

@@art.xelerator_ yeah then the doll message when she wanted to tell us something but she reconsidered and just told that somebody likes bananas

[@The_Shifters16]

Love the General's editing bana

[@DraustTrollbaneUS]

I'm still mad we don't get Sparkle's song for the Astral Express.

[@Dethrox]

omg there isnt ?? thats so bad

[@DraustTrollbaneUS]

@Dethrox if it's available, I haven't found it in game or in guides

[@lumocite9870]

1:12:18 Glad they added it in the mission details. I remember the Acheron scene was missable and I had to watch it on KZbin because I never knew you could talk to her again. Edit: Actually I might be confusing some things in how I missed the scene. I might have missed some dialogue options is probably why I missed it.

[@pedroupaiva]

Penacony was indeed PEAK, and I can't wait to watch you discover what comes next, bana!!! 🍌🍌🍌

[@sumagestad4962]

NOT IN MY WACH FOLLOWER OF THE EVIL NINJA OSARU

[@iamdino0]

Pinecany is saved from calamity once more, bana. By the way, not sure if you noticed, but if you go bananack to Dreamflux Reef and look at the sky, you can view Golden Hour from above and see that Clocknana Plaza itself is shaped like the front of a train. 2.4, 2.5 and 2.6 are trailblaze continuances; the first two are the Wardance in the Luofu, and the third is the "Monkey Outrage" you saw in Pinecany, bana. These are not mandatory but do canonically happen before 2.7, the current patch, which is the actual final Pinecany trailblaze mission (All Who Wakes). Important: don't look at promotional material for 3.0. It is 99.999% spoiler free unless you happen to catch 3 crucial frames in one trailer which will spoil you massively. Once you finish the 2.7 mission you'll be good, bana.

[@sumagestad4962]

NOT IN MY WACH FOLLOWERS OF THE EVIL NINJA OSARU

[@The_CodFish69]

1:20:33 and yes this whole conversation is skipable if you didn't pick the right dialog options and a few CCs did.

[@Una_Nacht]

Thankyou for the stock video general.. now I have list to watch within new year countdown..😂

[@mitchie178]

it's the xianzhou quests next! finest duel under the pristine blue I & II (and associated events)! the end of part 2 kind of sets the scene for "and on the eighth day" mission but the penacony banana quest chronologically comes after the wardance stuff, if that makes sense. ty as always! i really enjoyed penacony but my heart remains with the xianzhou and this upcoming quest arc.

[@Miandey]

Welcome at Penaconys End :) and happy new Year :) i thought Penacony was marvelous❣

[@Devika2545]

1:31:05 Those are trailblaze continuance missions which happen sometime in between the main story.

[@zieek1]

Always love your playthroughs.

[@RomnilWater]

What a lovely end to the main Penacony arc. Great playthrough as ever and Happy New Year! As for your questions: 2.4 and 2.5 are back in the Luofu with the Wardance (which is probably my favorite event Star Rail has done). 2.6 is the Banana quest and introduces you to probably my favorite NPC. While the last Penacony Quest on the Timeline is 2.7, the current patch. It's tying up a few loose ends and setting up the next planet.

[@Yuki_Ika7]

Just gonna take a wild guess to your favorite NPC.... Is it Mr. Reca? Because he is one of my favorites too?

[@RomnilWater]

@Yuki_Ika7 yah Reca is incredible in how unhinged he is.

[@ilrahcie_1092]

You gotta see the HSR Live Concert now it’s worth it trust

[@Devika2545]

1:15:30 Ouch ouch ouch. It hurts. Ah well. As you may know, Acheron is a version of Mei, across all the Hoyoverse universes and clicking the first option would have given a rare insight into it along with leading a slightly new story direction. 1:17:45 Yes Yes Yes

[@AudienceDoll]

You really are quite good at give others a little bit of 'Elation', a little ha, ha, aha aha. Don't worry, I'll keep on watching. Who could miss a second of this Comedy Gold. ꉂ (´∀｀)ʱªʱªʱª

[@jairjunior3951]

I'm happy that you are able to get the Acheron scene, i missed that and i was so sad. I hate that hoyo made it missable

[@ashimsy]

What a nice way to end/start Pemacony and New year, perfect timing

[@zensuyu3577]

The Sparkles infesting was an amazing touch🎉

[@GenuisSocietyNo83Herta]

Sparkle best wingman Happy new year donny 🎉❤

[@poppyseedbun-3336]

The scenes where we bid farewell to the past trailblazers made me cry so much the first time I played it! This little wrap up was really good 🥹

[@OmarSmadi-t9h]

Quick explanation 2.4 and 2.5 you go back to the xianshou 2.6 is the banana mission (you can honestly skip it if you wish) and then 2.7 which is the final patch before 3.0 which is almost here

[@Alex-bc3gz]

He didn't read sparkle's message at the end. I'm crying

[@Mdurir]

Happy new year legion, may this year be blessed and fruitful to all of yall

It's gonna premiere an hour before the new year here. What a great start.

[@PanRobak.]

I love Sparkle furmurs (fumos) so much! They're so cute. I ordered one not long ago. Can't wait to get blown up as soon as it arrives!

[@PanRobak.]

Thank you for the banana meal, DonnyVick.

[@Yuki_Ika7]

I love them too but i have not gotten one irl, but i do have one in my Trailblazers bed (i wanted to have it in a position to watch me sleep or bathe but unfortunately there was no such option, i do have a rubber duck on my trailblazers desk that has a bit of a view of my bed but still a bit unfortunate lol)

[@PanRobak.]

@@Yuki_Ika7 I haven't even started the quest for the room decoration yet. I've been catching up in ZZZ and only did the 2.7 Sunday quest the other day, so I'll have to get on that before 3.0 😭 I'll eventually have a Sparkle fumo both in my TB and IRL room though!

[@Ashleycolorful]

(OKAY SO I WAS HAVING EXAMS YESTERDAY SO I'M LATE BUT WHATEVER) So... General, words gone around that you're almost caught up! Nice! We can FINALLY take a break from star rail- Oh, the continuous missions... AND the 2.7 quest... Ooof...

i'm excited for you to to go back to the xianzhou, it's one of the best plots imo

[@hugothibodeau6137]

the Jade conversation is rasing a lot lof question if it isn't a joke: being able to revive a Aeon with just Pompom's tail mean that Pompom has a lot of secret to be learn

[@yoshitsuu]

PEAKNACONY WILL BE REMEMBERED

[@WEIYZ.]

The group chat is crazy funny 😭😂

[@azrael7582]

sadly you dont got the Rick Roll Bomb.. The Firefly Cutscene, that song was also a Robin Song and btw, who cut the onions here... ? I m so happy you got the Secret dialoge with Acheron, (even if it was mostly down to luck) its so sad that its "optional" .. 1:18:18 what Acheron described before was the hi3 story but with the "bad" ending. And the Song that played is a song from Hi3 Whats your favorit character of Penacony? Amphoreus, well today was the Livestream for it, shaoji again is the Story Writer (the one who did penacony) and it will be 8 Story Patches 3.0 - 3.7 so you will have many content to go on the quality of Penacony, hope your brain isnt fried The reason why you did go back to xianzhou was the continuance mission or the "interlude" chapters between the mainstory

[@InoueMagi]

Now I just can't wait for General to do the quest to unlock your own room and do the drink making quest in penacony. Also, since you're basically finished with penacony. In the story Clocky represents Micah, Captain Revolver represents Tiernan, and Mirror Princess represents Razalina. Both Micah and Tiernan are dead while Razalina disappears in the memoria. What if I tell you that Razalina might not be truly dead/disappeared, but maybe evolved into another being? A hint she's known as the Mirror Princess and she's a researcher of memoria in penacony, now is there any other character in Penacony that has something to do with mirrors and memoria??? This is just a speculation/theory, but some stuff in the game supports this theory.

[@fuschiaknight1991]

I recommend that you also try out the Adventure mission Checking Out. I think it’s actually pretty entertaining for an unvoiced quest (which I suppose fits with Hoyo putting some wild stuff in the side quests in Genshin as well).

[@genegenesis3010]

I usually skip the cutscene for reactions of this part, but know you, you are Sparkle's biggest opp.

[@juanitomomo6415]

Bueno 😢🎉❤

[@WEIYZ.]

10:57 that's why you're my General, screw the IPC no matter how attractive and broken they are in game and

[@bercemmm]

yeah the wardance is next BUT other than the "a new venture on the eight dawn" mission they are all side quests that have happened in between and/or in an unkown time period while we were on the planet. while they are all very important lorewise dont bother on the chronological order!!! play them however you want them (again not eight dawn that is a trailblaze mission we dont want to spoil.) hope this helps general bana bana 🍌

[@Cinnamon_Shaey]

Noice! Take that sparkle!

Don't worry darling. Miss Sparkle watching over you.

I cried during this again 😭 it really was peakacony I'm currently on the monkey banana quest is just so long for me bcs i don't like monkeys im constantly doing other things like divergent universe and the link just bcs i dont like monkeys LMAO

[@Yuki_Ika7]

The brainrot is the part preventing me from going past the 400 Bananas quest (so far)

[@jimjimcherie]

@Yuki_Ika7 ITS SO ANNOYING. I just finished it, and while Rappa was likable to me, the quest made me dislike her so much just because of all the monkey business.

[@poke-master1284]

Dang crazy new years

[@Light_puppets]

Donny if you did catch up to the new update. You should do some of the event . On the top right corner where that show the event page there. There are event that you might didn't do. Like the ghost hunting or the candy crush Edit: there is probably some people that is much better than explaining it better

[@xenovious]

so before all the teasers came out i had my theories for 3.0 Amphoreus "the eternal land" It could be March backstory time? 👀 First at the end black swan appeared from march's room Then told us world is hidden unless mirror from garden of recollection aka Remembrance and we know their element is "ice" possibly the six phase ice the name is of Greek origin March looking like Elysia a character from Hi3 which her name also based from Greek Eternal land is a nickname for Rome which march has also mentioned b4 arriving at penacony "when in rome as they say" a few coincidences 🤔 then now after the teasers has been shown there are a lot of Hi3 stuff and "elysia" soo 5* remembrance March at the end of Amphoreus arc?

Considering everything I recommend you finish the 8th dawn before monkeys -> even though it's a continuance it's just a Rappa cameo sidequest and it's the last quest required before 3.0 Amphoreus.

[@lanayer]

YOOO PENACONY IS OVERR, I'm really glad you enjoyed 2.3, bit of a weird quest imo but enjoyable, now that it's over, I would like to BEGGG you to do the "Checking out" quest, you'll get it from one of the groupchat texts after finishing 2.3 and even though it's a blue quest, I think you'll LOVE it, it's a really really funny quest that features a lot of other characters that we met, I think at most it might take maybe about 30 minutes if i recall correctly, anyways do consider it, promise you'll like it 🙏
