Goodbye Earth, Hello Mars!

A new story dawns on the Red Planet!

 

Spoilers for Part 1 and 1.5

 

With Earth now under the control of its Moon Goddess, the Goddess of Earth Kiana Kaslana, a new era of relative peace has begun. Still, forces across the solar system rear their heads, and one planet’s peace does not make the World a quiet place.

 

Erdős Helia and Coralie 6626 Planck embark on a mission to explore the seemingly desolate Mars. Not knowing they’re about to stumble upon a strange bustling society beyond their imaginations.

Info

You can start playing Honkai Impact 3rd Part 2 as soon as you reach Lvl 30. However, Part 2 does involve major spoilers for Part 1 and Part 1.5

 

Despite their age, Parts 1 and 1.5 are still excellent stories and are worth playing through. We normally recommend you play through them first.

 

Alternatively, if you so desire, you could play Part 2 until you are caught up, and then decide to play Part 1 and 1.5

Tides of Time Gone By

Cover Art

Note: Main chapters and events can be very long. You don’t have to complete them in one sitting.

The time has come to enter the new age of Honkai Impact 3rd.

Go to the Attack menu and enter ‘Tides of Time Gone By’. Have fun!

Note: It’s recommended to exit the open world as soon as the chapter is over. It’s possible to accidentally trigger the next chapter immediately.

Info

You might have seen in the artworks and promos that Dream Seeker has both a female and a male version. Entering the new chapter, it may confuse you that you start the story as the female version, and cannot choose.

After playing deep enough into the first chapter, you will be able to interact with a mirror in the Dream Seeker’s apartment. There, you will be able to swap to the male version if you so desire.

The Protagonist's Gender

At the start of the chapter, you are called ‘me’. When you reach the right point in the story, you are given the option to choose a name.

 

While it’s possible to change your name, it is recommended to choose a name that sounds natural as a name for immersion purposes. This name will appear above your text box and in the dialogue. Of course, this is entirely up to you.

 

The default name given is ‘Entropy’. If you like to use the Chinese version, it’s ‘Shāng’

The Protagonist's Name

The Sea Sings of Fire

Animation Cutscene

This cutscene plays during the chapter. It’s recommended to wait until you reach this point in the story before watching it.

Cutscene

In the Open World, you will be able to find many Readables. Some of which will have lots of text. It is recommended to try and track these down, and read them at a comfortable pace.

Readables

Over the course of the story, you will also unlock ‘Side Stories’. These take place at various times and locations during the plot. You can choose to do these as soon as they unlock, or after you complete the chapter.

 

Many of these missions have stories. It is highly recommended to play these before moving on to other chapters. Pure gameplay ones like Treasure Hunting are less essential.

Bitterness for a Sleepwalker

Collecting Figments

Cover Art

This is a special Story quest. It should unlock automatically. It was originally launched as an event, and is part of a small collection of permanent events.

 

This is very story essential.

 

In the menu of Bitterness for a Sleepwalker, you’ll find the story under the names:

  • EX Chapter: Awakened from a Dream
  • EX Chapter: Person in a Dream

This is the recommended order for playing these chapters.

 

Shadow Avatar takes place before the EX Chapters. You can play it as a flashback.

 

You can find these by opening the permanent event menu in Oxia.

Info

As you may have noticed, when Vita reset the Dream Seeker to ‘default settings’, if you are playing using the male form, the character returns to the female form from the beginning of the story.

 

Indeed, male Dream Seeker is not another version of the character. It is the same character, changing forms. People around didn’t notice because, well, the system allowed it to go unnoticed. So Dream Seeker could just take on whatever form they felt like using the mirror.

Deeper in the Dark

Dream Seeker has discovered her own nature as a data entity, and has entered the system once more, this time with Vita’s guidance.

 

However, as soon as she entered the system, Chenxue appeared, and does not seem to remember her.

Note

The story has now truly begun. If you’ve come this far, we urge you once more to play Part 1 if you haven’t already.

 

Going forward, we will still include some small recaps for returning cast or info when we think it’s worth doing. But we can’t do it for everything.
