A Teacher and a Friend: Continued in Honkai Star Rail: How to Run the Matrix Terminals

The Honkai: Star Rail A Teacher and a Friend: Continued is adventure mission Lofu Xianzhou, during which you will need to find certain parts, solve the jade circuit puzzle, and launch the base terminals again to activate the Supreme Foresight Matrix. If you have any difficulty completing the tasks, then study our guide.

Passage of the mission "A Teacher and a Friend: Continued"

How to start a task

Before you can take on its implementation, you will need to meet several conditions, which include:

• Reach at least Mastery level 36.
• Complete adventure missions "Teacher and Friend" and "Master and Friend: Sequel 1".

Note that after completing the above quests, you will not immediately receive the task you need - you need to wait for the server reset, which occurs at 4 in the morning. So log into the game the next calendar day and wait for a new message from Qingque, who will offer to visit Chengjie.

As usual, head to the Crafts Commission by moving to the anchor "Dark Wharf" and talk there with a student who has lost all his enthusiasm. He will then give you a control panel for the star skiff. Click on different buttons and then select an option "Stop" and you will see what the problem is.

How to find the components for the aurumaton in the Parts Zone

To get to the desired area, first teleport to the Creation Furnace anchor. Going south here to the quest marker will not work because of the closed door on the other side, so you have to go around. The entire route is shown on the map below. It is not necessary to fight enemies along the way.

At the end, go down the stairs, and then go to the boxes in the corner and inspect them to get a standard set of parts. Now just return to Chengjie and chat with him again to transfer the item you found earlier.

How to repair jade aurumaton abacus

Note: Before you take on the puzzle, prepare a suitable squad, as immediately after repairing the robot you will have to fight it.

Approach the broken robot and interact with it to start the jade circuit puzzle. To solve it, follow these steps:

1. Select the right hexagon and double click on the left arrow.
2. Select the left hexagon and click on the right arrow three times.
3. Select the right hexagon again and click the left arrow once.
4. Now select the left hexagon and click on the left arrow once.

As a result, both tokens with symbols will fall into the right places. The whole process of solving the riddle is shown in the gif above. Next, talk to Master Gongshu, who will notice that something is wrong with the robot. Then the battle will begin with the level 53 gatekeeper aurumaton, vulnerable to wind, quantum and electric damage.

This enemy is capable of summoning dragonfish that explode when destroyed, so we advise you to kill them first. By doing so, you will also avoid the accumulation of the Retribution bar from the mini-boss. After dealing with the enemies, watch the new cutscene.

How to catch a criminal

Teleport to the Supreme Prescience Matrix in the Divination Commission, and then go down to the main platform and chat with Suzy and Fu Xuan. The first will need your help in catching the criminal.

Head to the Quay in the indicated area and then head southwest. It is not necessary to fight the enemies you meet along the way. Climb the stairs and you will find the right criminal. The vulnerabilities of the enemies are shown in the screenshot below.

Having dealt with the enemies, you will automatically be transferred to the matrix. Chat with the girls again. The seer will agree to help you, but for this you will first have to reactivate the device.

How to launch the base terminals of the Supreme Foresight Matrix

As in the Exploration mission "The Omnipresent Exploration of the World", you will need to solve three puzzles by correctly assembling the drawing on the lower platform so that it matches the figure displayed on the upper platform.

Base terminal 1

So, move to the terminal located in the northwest and stand on the diamond-shaped platform to see what kind of figure you need to create on the ground. Next, you have to do the following:

1. Pick up the middle crystal on the right side of the hexagon and leave it in the center of the area.
2. Take the top crystal from the right side of the hexagon and place it in the right center part of the shape.
3. Pick up the crystal you left earlier in the center of the area and place it on the top right of the hexagon.
4. Take the crystal from the center left side of the hexagon and place it in the center of the area.
5. Pick up the crystal from the lower left side of the hexagon and place it on the left center side of the shape.
6. Pick up the crystal you left earlier in the center of the area and place it on the lower left side of the hexagon.

The whole process is shown in the gif above. After activating the first terminal, you can head to the next one.

Base terminal 2

It is located to the east of the main site. You can get there using the teleportation screen in the eastern part of the platform. Then go up the stairs to the top and stand on the diamond-shaped platform.

You will see a figure at the top that you will need to repeat on the ground. To do this, follow these steps:

1. Pick up the crystal from the left center of the hexagon and place it on the right center of the shape.
2. Take the crystal from the lower left side of the hexagon and place it on the center left side of the shape.
3. Pick up the crystal from the center right side of the hexagon and place it on the bottom left side of the shape.
4. Pick up the crystal from the top right side of the hexagon and place it on the center right side of the shape.
5. Take the crystal from the lower right side of the hexagon and place it on top on the same side.

The whole process is shown in the gif above. After activating the second terminal, you can head to the next one.

Base Terminal 3

It is located southwest of the main site. You can get there using the teleportation screen in the southwestern part of the platform. Then go up the stairs to the top and stand on the diamond-shaped platform.

You will see a figure at the top that you will need to repeat on the ground. To do this, follow these steps:

1. Take the first lower crystal from the left side of the octagon and place it at the very bottom of the figure on the same side.
2. Pick up the top left crystal of the octagon and place it in the first bottom left spot of the shape.
3. Pick up the bottom left crystal of the octagon and place it in the top left spot of the shape.

The whole process is shown in the gif above. After activating the terminal, you can return to the main platform and talk to Suzy. Then watch a short cut-scene. Receive a message from Chengjie. He'll want to talk to you at Star Skiff Refuge.

Enter into a dialogue with the student. After its completion, the task will come to an end. As a reward, you will receive 250 development experience, 1 refined ether, 15,000 credits, 25 arrows, and 40 star jade.

How to get and use the Chengjie Paper Boat

After finishing the quest, talk to Chengjie again. He will say that he has another skiff made of paper. You can throw it in the wind or keep it as a keepsake. Choosing the second option will give you the Chengjie Paper Boat.

It is currently unknown what exactly it is for, but this item will remain in your inventory in the "Missions" section. Perhaps we are talking about an ordinary souvenir.
