The new Trailblaze quest broke my trust.. (Honkai: Star Rail)

[@borealwind]

Welt in HSR IS the original Welt. He was talking about Kevin Kaslana.

[@himalkanwar77]

when he said original welt I think he is talking about welt joyce because welt yang is not his real name welt yang real name is Joachim Nokianvirtanen.when welt joyce died welt yang was there and welt joyce gave his herrscher core to welt yang and welt yang take welt joyce name to keep his legacy

[@borealwind]

@@himalkanwar77 I've played HI3, thank you. Still couldn't have been Joyce he was talking about because his story is unraveled early on when Bronya becomes the Herrscher of Reason and interacts with the core. Herrscher of Reason doesn't have the power Welt is talking about, not did anything like that happen with Joyce is core's memory.

[@valky37]

Yeah, the spiritual adam is related to project stigma, so they're definitely referring to Kevin

For context, Welt was talking about Kevin and the Project STIGMA where they created the Spiritual Adam. Here's an excerpt from Project Stigmata Act 1 (EX 5) Otto (?): In the random fluctuations of subconscious, you accidentally discovered that you’re dreaming… Mei: …You say we’re walking in that old man’s dream? Raven: Yes. This is Hare’s expertise, which she calls “dream-catching”. **** Raven: That’s pretty much it. In the current Project STIGMA, the old humans will be connected as dreams, and eventually become the Stigmata of the new humans. Mei: Turning people… into Stigmata? Raven: I don’t know about the technical details either, but one thing’s certain: it makes people disappear into their dreams, swapping reality and illusion. Spirit is converted into matter, and vice versa. Raven: “Once the average old humans are gone, the World Serpent will transform it into a world suitable for the new humans. Honkai energy will flow freely inside every person, and Herrschers will never appear again.” **** Gray Serpent: If you gather all the dreams of humans, you’ll get a giant resembling a planet. A desert sage named it Adam Ruhani… Gray Serpent: …Which means Spiritual Adam. Gray Serpent: Adam Ruhani is one of the gods, but it’s extremely far away from the others… That distance is what mortals call time. It’s the late eternity, and a rift that can’t be crossed with logic. Gray Serpent: Humans see Adam Ruhani as the product of their dreams, and the opposite applies to Adam Ruhani. Its words are like our sleep talking. It has no present and past: everything happens in the future. Gray Serpent: It can’t die, think humanly, nor reproduce… It simply exists forever as the ladder leading to the divine realm. Gray Serpent: …That’s the real aim of Project STIGMA.

[@Aventurinesgirl]

its so heartbreaking whilst wholesome to me knowing aventurine bets his life on this mission only for his mind to be changed, when smol kakavasha asked "are you going too" and he answered "ill get there one day, but not now" that change on him, i cried for hours playing this quest

[@Marshmallowssss]

Finally kage,i miss your star rail content so much!Now that you're done with the main story,im looking forward to see you making beverages for mobs :)

[@sebygamingyt2621]

So we all gonna agree that Misha might be the new apointed watchmaker?? (i mean why would they feature him on the story quest at the very begining if he's "just a bellboy" wouldn't it be better if they just introduce him on the middle of the story to let everyone know he is "just a bellboy" lets now forget the tag on his clothing that looks too similar to the astral express's tags tge "golden red pin" but instead of red its purple...)

[@meganmcdonald3333]

I swear I was flabbergasted at this story quest and hated how we have to wait a few weeks to get to the final chapter! But good lord in EVERY murder mystery why is it ALWAYS the hot men who commit the murder?! WHY GALLAGHER?!😫😫😫 Off topic I’m calm now, 2.1 basically made me go from hating Aventurine back in 2.0 to actually feeling sympathy towards him because this man has went through hell and back since the day he was born! Add backstabbing from Ratio, (Even though it wasn’t.), and Sunday being the major douche it adds a lot more pressure on HIS side of the story which was amazing since we get to see Aventurine’s gameplay.

Aventurine calls Trailblazer "friend" ironically coz this "investing into new friends" deal at beginning with Himeko.

[@LongXue]

Acheron is so much stronger than Aventurine because of her sword, if pure force alone Acheron should only be stronger a bit than Aventurine as they are both emnators, but Acheron's sword is one of the two blades forge from the 13 sentinel swords that are all at least emnator levels... which means her sword is at the very least half a dozen number of emnator strength combined (or even 13 combined if she fused it with the END sword too)... so yea that's why she can one shot him.

2.1 was a good story, however I feel like this is more of an Aventurine Story Quest than the Main Quest. It's one thing to weave a character's story into the main plot and another to completely deviate from the main plot to focus exclusively on one character and ignore all the other characters. - The Astral Express group once again did absolutely nothing relevant other than Welt meeting Acheron as fanservice for Honkai Impact fans. - The MC didn't do anything other than say funny references. - Acheron continues to be an empty character who only exists to be a reference to Honkai Impact. - Black Swan didn't do anything other than listen to a radio and be a tease for Boothill and the Annihilation Gang. So as much as I enjoy the story I feel like this part focused so much on being an Aventurine Story Quest that it failed to be a continuation of the Penacony plot with the narrative barely moving on from where it left off in 2.0.
