    Battle of Wits! Herta Space Station! in Honkai Star Rail: how to solve puzzles and defeat Gerta

    Zorthrus

    In Honkai: Star Rail Battle of Wits! Herta Space Station! is adventure mission, and also part of the event "Aether Wars" and the quest chain “Interstellar Festival-Tournament”. During it, you will have to solve puzzles with ethereal material, find ethereal spirits and passes, and then defeat Hertha (the Suppressor). If you have difficulties receiving and completing the task, then study our guide.

    Walkthrough of the mission “Battle of Wits! Herta Space Station!

    How to start a task

    It starts automatically immediately after completing the previous quest in the series called “Forward! Cloud Crossing!”, so take a look at your mission log and start tracking the corresponding mission.

    Meet March 7

    The first thing you will need to do is chat with a friend in the Central Harbor of the Star Skiff Haven. She will ask you to go to the next area. To do this, move to the Support Area of ​​the Hertha space station and go to the train. Chat with Mart7 again.

    When the main menu of the Aether Wars event opens, select a new victory zone. Familiarize yourself with the challenges' objectives and the enemies you'll encounter along the way. Mostly you will have to fight with alien morphs, so we advise you to assemble a squad in which the majority of monsters will be mechomorphs. The picture below shows an example of such a command.

    Note: The level of your creatures must be at least level 4, so we advise you to first go through online matches in order to collect the required amount of data and chips to upgrade your spirits.

    The maps below show the location of all challenges (duels with players), chests and ethereal spirits that can be found on the spirit floor of the victory zone. Next we will tell you in detail how to get to them all.

    Lukach, regular chest and ethereal spirit “Invader”

    Immediately after entering the victory zone, turn around and go to the western part of the location. Here on the right side you will meet a player named Lukacs. He will field 3 void rangers against you: an invader and one silver-maned guardsman (level 4). We advise you to use a team consisting mainly of mechomorphs.

    In this case, it would be useful to take a gunner of silver-maned guards into the team. Strengthen the aurumaton gatekeeper with your skill and ult. This way you can significantly increase the overall DPS of the team.

    Then turn left and engage three Void Rangers. Use the same command as before. After dealing with them, you will receive the Void Ranger: Invader creature and will be able to open a regular chest.

    Unearthly Materials 1 and Elevator Encryption Key

    Go back and talk to Giovanni and then to the Silver Wolf. Gerta will then contact you and inform you that you need to collect 3 treasure maps and use them to find encryption keys and passes before you can fight her. Approach the service robot to receive your first treasure map and examine it (R key). It shows where Wubbabu is.

    Run forward, turn left and start the puzzle with the unearthly material. You will need to go to the other side. To do this, follow the same route shown in the screenshot below.

    Note: Currently, you won't be able to go to the right, as you will first need to get the mastery badge for that zone.

    After going to the opposite side, fight three more invaders. Then go into the room ahead and you will find a Wubbaba. Interact with him to obtain the Encryption Key from the elevator.

    Continue moving forward, engaging in battle with the next trio of invaders. Enter the last room on this side to open a regular chest.

    Ethereal Spirit "Destructor"

    Head back to the elevator and take it to go down to the first floor of the Storage Area. Exit the lift and interact with the new utility robot to obtain the second treasure map, which shows Wubbabu on the toilet.

    We recommend that you take your time and first defeat all the enemies on the four platforms surrounding the elevator. Start from the bottom left area, where you will need to deal with three Destroyers (use the same command as before). Defeating them will reward you with a new spirit, Void Ranger: Annihilator.

    Now go to the upper left area and deal with the three invaders. Go to the top right platform and defeat three more invaders. At the end, go to the lower right area and defeat the three Destroyers.

    Normal Chest and Science Player

    Having dealt with all the enemies in the circular areas, move to the eastern part of the location. In the corridor you will encounter three exterminators. Deal with them, and then open the regular chest ahead.

    Head left and you'll encounter a Science Enthusiast who will pit two Eradicators, a Gunner, and a Silvermane Gunner against you. First of all, deal with the gunner so that he does not annoy you with his additional attacks and the support of his allies. After that, deal with the exterminators.

    Serious Gambler and Sleepy Gambler

    There is nothing interesting in the right corridor, so go back and move to the western part of the location. Go into the corridor and fight three invaders. Then turn right, go up the stairs and duel with the Serious Player. He will field two destroyers and two invaders against you.

    Don't forget to heal your allies with the piggy bank, as enemies can deal a lot of damage. After defeating the player, go back to the fork (there is no point in going further and solving the unearthly material puzzle at this point, since you won't find anything there anyway) and engage in a fight with the Sleepy Player.

    This enemy will oppose you with an invader, an imaginary weaver, a destroyer and a shadow of incineration. We recommend that you deal with the weaver first, as it can cause considerable damage to several of your creatures at once.

    Championship Contender Pass 1

    Enter the next room, in the center of which you will find many toilets. You need to interact with the one to the right of which there is a tablet. We have indicated it in the picture below.

    You will be teleported to another location, where you will find Wubbabu next to you - take the treasure map and pass from him. Go through the right passage to collect the contents of the regular chest.

    Unearthly Materials 2 and Championship Contender Pass 2

    Now teleport to the second floor and move to its northeastern area. In the first room you will see a platform with cranes, but one is missing. Enter the second room and solve the platform puzzle - the correct route is shown in the screenshot below.

    Approach the crane and then start following it so that it will eventually move to a platform where a Wubbabu will soon appear. Interact with the creature to receive a new treasure map and pass.

    Championship Contender Pass 3

    Go to the northeastern part of the second floor, where the gallery of curiosities is located. You will need to place the artifacts on the right side (if you stand with your back to the exit) in a certain order: the mocking shell, the happiness filter kit, the unbearable heaviness and the total eclipse of the heart.

    To do this, take curiosities, place them in empty display cases, and then move them to the right places. First take the shell from the 4th pedestal and then place it on the 1st pedestal. Next, take the total heart eclipse from the front display and place it on the 4th pedestal. The final version is shown in the picture below. Interact with the Wubbabu that appears to get the third boost.

    How to defeat Hertha (Suppressor)

    Go to the southeastern part of the location, insert 3 passes into the controller and talk to Gerta. You can ask her for the badge, but she will be prohibited from giving it up without a fight, so a battle cannot be avoided. She will put a destroyer, a suppressor, an invader and a shooter against you.

    As you can see, most of her spirits are alien morphs, so we advise you to take more mechomorphs into your team. We used the same squad that we showed you at the beginning. Reinforce the aurumaton with a gunner, who will deal the main damage with his fish and area attack.

    We recommend giving the aurumaton a chip to receive energy at the beginning of the battle. This way he can use his ultimate right away. Use the Gatekeeper's normal attack to hit the Suppressor to delay its turn. Don't forget to use the Piggy Bank to heal your allies. Don't be afraid to lose one or two fighters, as this cannot be avoided. The main thing is to destroy all enemies.

    After defeating Gerta, chat with her. Then Wilder will contact you. After talking with him, the test will formally end, however, we advise you to continue exploring the area to find all the spirits and players, so click on the button "Continue Research" .

    Luxury Chest, Ethereal Games Analyst and Ethereal Spirit Suppressor

    Teleport to the controller on the 3rd floor and interact with it to create a bridge. Go to the other side and take the contents of the luxurious chest. You will find the "Unexpected Interpolation" chip.

    Continue into the next room and fight the Aether Wars analyst, who will pit two glowing fish and two fake weavers against you. First of all, deal with the weavers, and then beat the fish.

    After defeating the player, go a little further and engage in battle with two level 4 suppressors at once. We advise you to upgrade your creatures to level 5. Again, the squad should take as many mechamorphs as possible.

    Try not to scatter your forces and concentrate all attacks on one enemy in order to quickly kill one enemy. When there is only one boss left on the battlefield, the battle will become noticeably easier. Once you've dealt with your opponents, you'll receive the Void Ranger: Suppressor Ethereal Spirit.

    At this point, the exploration of the winning zone can be completed. After passing all the tests in it, you will unlock the achievement "Medal for Genius", for which they give 5 star jades.

    Meet Wilder at the Goethe Hotel

    Head to the Administrative District and chat with Wilder in the hotel lobby. You will learn the history of the piggy bank.

    This will complete the task. As a reward, you will receive 200 exploration experience, 40 star jades, 6 traveler's guides, 4 lost crystals and 40 thousand credits.
