Durandal
Visual Novel
You can read all 31 chapters of the VN on Abysslabs.
Alternatively, you can read it on the older release. Both versions are fan translations.
If you’re using the old release, sometimes lines will spill out of the box. To reduce the odds of this happening, you can reduce the font size. When it does happen, you can check the full line using the log.
Go to the settings icon in the top right corner and replace the link in the “Custom EN XML source” box with this one: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/RaytheonThunder/honkai-vns/master/antientropy/en/xml/
Note: Some mobile devices and browsers may make it difficult to follow these instructions, as they don’t allow you to scroll down the options list.
More info regarding the VNs and the fan translations can be found on the Archives Wiki

Reawakening
Animation
The animation is a trailer for the next story arc. Arc trailers do not necessarily represent the events within that arc. They are merely for flavour.
Note: The animation CGs are available in the game.
Youtube versions are linked below. Don’t check them out until you’re certain you’ve reached these points in the story.
Cooking with Valkyries
Manga
These little manga are made in the same vein as the anime series. We’re using a Mangadex link because the official website’s uploads are an incomplete and unsorted mess.
Several chapters have episode versions in the anime, but may still differ slightly. Other chapters are unique.
Note: This translation is actually still missing some chapters. When we have a proper translation, we will add them to this guide.
12 Chapters (including 0)
Captainverse Events
Captainverse events take place in an alternate timeline. They are events designed to bridge the gap between updates. They are not permanent, so the only way to experience old events is through recordings. This is completely optional.
Genshin Impact
If you’re not playing Genshin Impact yet, now is not a bad time to give it a go.
Genshin Impact started production in 2017 and came out around the time of this arc in 2020. It was designed to expand the Honkai Universe and explore a different environment. With a fantasy aesthetic and a sprawling open world, miHoYo sought to broaden their horizons. You may find several more familiar faces in Teyvat, as Genshin too has different versions of the GGZ/HI3 cast.
Lost Ages
The St Freya team has finally retrieved Kiana, but Kiana lost contact with Fu Hua and Mei. Bronya is now the Herrscher of Reason. Another disaster was narrowly avoided, but it wasn’t in their hands.

Most of this event is fluff, but the conversation between Susannah and Alvitr is part of the mainline story.

Chibi Animation

Reburn 2
Animation
This short is best watched after completing A Post Honkai Odyssey Chapter 1 and reading Alien Space. If you have not yet completed APHO Chapter 1 and Alien Space, you can just skip this one and come back to it later. The explanation of the name is best saved for after watching.
The first Reburn was the animation from the very start of this guide. It was a special video made as a sort of concept trailer for the game. Reburn is however not canonical to the story. Reburn 2 similarly came out as a sort of story concept trailer for Honkai: Star Rail. Whether it is canonical is unknown.
We assume it probably isn’t, given the contents of the story.
