In Honkai: Star Rail You Can Run, But You Can't Hide is an Exploration mission and part of the Into a Dry Winter Night quest chain.

Passage of the quest "You can run, but you can not hide"

How to start a task

It starts automatically immediately after completing the previous mission of the line called "Night in the City of Everwinter". You will find yourself in the Sewer Passage. You will need to escape from the Fragmentum and break away from your pursuers.

Escape from the Fragmentum

Run forward, go up the stairs on the right side and engage in a fight with level 12 abominations. Nearby you can find a new golden sepal. You can pass his tests to obtain materials.

Walk back a little and turn right. Here you will see two Level 20 Shadows of Incineration guarding valuable chest. You can try to fight them (they can really be defeated by a team of characters level 14-19). We advise you to start the fight with the March 7 technique to freeze enemies. After dealing with them, take the treasures.

Then turn left from Sepalleaf, go downstairs and fight Level 12 Shadows of Incineration there. Deal with them to open the chest they were guarding. Be careful as there are level 12 spawn ahead. Move on to the teleport.

You will be at a fork. Walk to the left and open the chest. You can't go any further because of the guards. So go back and turn right. Interact with the controller and solve the magnetic flux puzzle. Her solution is shown in the screenshot below. Move forward and open the valuable chest on the right.

Next, you have to engage in a fight with several opponents of the 12th level, passing along a long corridor to the grate. Turn left after the cutscene and engage the level 13 enemies. Before that, use consumables that increase the attack power of the team.

Solve the robot puzzle (optional)

After dealing with the enemy and interacting with the controller, you can turn right and climb the stairs up. There you will find a broken robot. Interact with him to fix his chain. You will need to solve the riddle with the terminals. The correct option is shown below.

After fixing the robot, inspect it, and then start following it. He will take you to valuable chest and then disappear. Now you can go through the opened grate.

How to defeat Armor

Before exiting the Fragmentum, make sure your team is ready for the boss fight. To do this, heal all your fighters and pick up characters that cause physical, fire and / or imaginary damage (will help destroy the boss's resistance). Their level must be at least 14th. Against the Armor, the following unit can perform well: Pathfinder, Dan Heng, Asta and March 7.

Immediately after the start of the battle, the Armor uses its ability, bringing reinforcements and removing all vulnerabilities. In this state, destroying her Fortitude will not work. To dispel this buff, you must first defeat the summoned soldiers, who are weak to electrical, physical, frost, and wind damage.

We recommend that you definitely take Asta into the squad, as she can not only break the Armor shield, but also increase the speed of allies with the help of her superpower. The higher the speed of your characters, the sooner they can make a move.

By lowering the Armor's life bar to 1%, you will trigger a cut-scene in which Sampo will save you and your team. Watch another video where you will meet Natasha. After completing the video, the quest will come to an end. As a reward, you will receive 80 star jade, 600 development experience and other valuable items. Next, the task "Hide and Seek" starts.
