Percipient in Honkai Star Rail: How to Solve Puzzles and Defeat Flash

In Honkai: Star Rail Percipient is mission to continue the Development and part of the quest chain "Fox's Ghost Story", in which you have to catch the heliobi that has possessed Fu Xuan. To do this, you will have to solve the Pathfinder puzzles and defeat Flash. If you have difficulties receiving and completing this task, then study our guide.

Walkthrough of the mission "Percipient"

How to start a task

It starts automatically as soon as you complete the previous quest in the chain called "Meeting in the Garden of Serenity II". Your team of ghost hunters will decide to take on the investigation of a case related to the Divination Commission, but before that you will need to once again “knock out” useful information from Cirrus.

Get information out of Cirrus

Go to your old friend and chat with her. Next you will have to fight her pawns again. Their vulnerabilities are shown in the screenshot below. If you use upgraded characters of the necessary elements, this battle should not cause you any special problems.

The main thing is not to forget to take the demonic flame from the enemy, using superpowers in time, and use the exorcism technique, which can significantly weaken the enemies and remove a lot of their health.

Explore the Anomaly

After obtaining information about the Flash, go to the Divination Commission and chat with Qingque to learn from her about the situation in the organization. You can tell her the truth or hide your true goals - the girl will show you the way no matter what.

Move forward to the foresight matrix, which will look very strange. To summon heliobi you will need to ring the bell. During your conversation with Fu Xuan, you will realize that she is possessed by a demon. You can choose the following action:

• (Pick up a bat and attack Fu Xuan) - a battle will begin with four enchanted inventions (their vulnerabilities are shown in the picture below), however, victory will not lead to the end of the mission, but simply starts the next stage.
• (Argue with Fu Xuan furiously and unsuccessfully) - The conversation with the seer will take a little longer, but you will still eventually progress to the Pathfinder challenge.
• (Silence) - the conversation will end immediately, and you will move on to the next stage of the quest.

How to solve Discoverer riddles

After choosing any of the above options, you will still have to chat with Fu Xuan and try to wake her up. However, the ghost will offer to resolve the dispute with a test. A reconnaissance of the area called “Illusory Labyrinth: Flash” will begin. Note that after the puzzles you will have a battle with the gatekeeper Aurumaton, so we advise you to take pumped up electric, wind and/or quantum damage dealers into your team.

First riddle

To solve the first puzzle you will need to choose the following directions of movement for the robot:

1. Right
2. Up
3. Left
4. Up

In this case, the invention will reach different walls and turn in the right directions to get to the end of the “labyrinth”.

Second riddle

To solve the second puzzle you will need to choose the following directions of movement for the robot:

1. Up
2. Left
3. Down
4. Right
5. Up

In this case, the invention will reach different walls and turn in the right directions to get to the end of the “labyrinth”.

Third riddle

Before speaking to the possessed seer again, enter the labyrinth she created. Then stand in the places Qingque points you to. Talk to Fu Xuan again and select the following directions for the robot to move:

1. Up
2. Right
3. Up
4. Left
5. Up

In this case, the invention will reach different walls and characters you have placed, and then turn in the right directions to get to the end of the “labyrinth”.

How to defeat Flash

By solving all the puzzles, you will destabilize Heliobi, and he will decide to attack you. You will have to fight an Aurumaton Gatekeeper and two Dragon Fish. Be careful as the enemy can stun your characters, so have a healer/shieldman on your team who can remove debuffs.

Again, you need to monitor the movement of the demonic flame - use your ults to take the flame from your opponents and pass it on to your characters. Note that breaking through durability does not deprive the enemy of fire. Then use the exorcism technique to restore your skill points.

After the battle is over, you will capture Flash and Fu Xuan will return to normal. Talk to her again. Then post the news, choosing a headline - any will do. Return to the garden and seal the spirit in the new oven.

At the end, you will need to talk to Mrs. Hania, who will be standing next to the Ghostbusters table. When the conversation with her ends, you will see how many subscribers you have.

This will bring the task to an end. As a reward, you will receive 500 mastery points, 50 star jades, 6 lost crystals, 9 traveler's guides and 80 thousand credits. You can move on to the next mission of the chain only after gaining 100 thousand subscribers.
