In Honkai: Star Rail The essence of the sword is mission to continue the Development and part of the quest chain "Fox's Ghost Story", during which you have to catch the heliobi that captured Yanqin. To do this, you will have to defeat the sword master and then fight the Torch illusion. If you have any difficulties receiving and completing this task, then study our guide.
Walkthrough of the mission “Essence of the Sword”
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 III.” Your team of ghost hunters will decide to take on the investigation of the case related to the Crazed Cloud Knight. This time you will go straight to the crime scene without wasting time questioning Cirrus.
How to find the crazed cloud knight
Travel to the southern teleport of the Alchemy Commission and approach the two knights. Then a fight with the possessed guard will begin. Enemy vulnerabilities are shown in the picture below. You can immediately use the exorcism technique “Decree: Breaking the Pentad” to then deal additional damage to enemies.
As always, keep an eye out for demonic flames and try to keep the flames on your characters at all times.
Find Yanqing by following the fluttering sword
Move to the Elixir Research Veranda anchor located in the north of the location, then turn left and approach the highlighted area. You will find Yanqing's blade fluttering.
Start running after the sword, running past the bodies of the abominations. Then turn right and go down the stairs to the docks. It is not necessary to fight the enemies you encounter along the way. When you reach the pier, chat with your friends, and then click on the sword to begin a new reconnaissance of the area.
How to get through the Illusory Maze: Torch
In this dungeon you will have to fight Yanqin, so take electric, wind and/or imaginary damage dealers into your squad. It is best if you take fighters that deal area damage, as you will have to quickly destroy a large number of swords. The squad must have a healer or a very good shield warrior.
After the test begins, go up the stairs and chat with Yanqin, who was captured by the demon. Unfortunately, a battle with him cannot be avoided. Already on the second turn, he will summon swords, each of which is considered a separate opponent, so he will also be able to capture demonic flames.
Try not to give the light to the enemy by using your superpowers in time. This fire will allow you to use an exorcism technique, with which you can cast Imprisonment on the boss, delaying its effect.
Note that as long as there are swords on the battlefield, it will be impossible to break through Yanqing’s durability. Moreover, each sword can have one of three vulnerabilities: electric, imaginary or wind. Attack them to find out which elements they are weak to.
When the enemy has about 30% health left, he will launch a huge sword at you, immediately killing all the characters. A cutscene will begin in which Sushan will say that he will detain Yanqing until you bring the general to him.
Go after Jing Yuan
Travel to the Garden of Serenity and talk to Jing Yuan. Tell him about the problem that has arisen. After talking with Cirrus, chat with the general again to begin a new challenge. Yanqing will still remain the enemy.
Climb the stairs and watch the new video. The boy will not attack his mentor. Then Heliobi will decide to personally destroy everyone.
How to defeat the Torch illusion
This enemy has the same abilities and attacks as Yanqing, so use the same tactics against him as before, that is, first destroy his swords, choosing the right vulnerabilities, and then beat the boss himself.
Do not forget to take away the demonic flame from the enemy and use the exorcism technique to slow down its effect. Let's add that when the enemy has about 5-10% left, he will use his ultimate with a giant sword that deals huge damage, so either give your characters a strong shield or heal them in advance so that they can survive the blow.
Having dealt with the enemy, you will complete the test. Chat with Guinaifen and publish the news on the site, choosing a suitable headline - we chose the shocking option and received 164 thousand subscribers. Then place the heliobee in the new oven.
After another conversation with friends, the task will come to an end. As a reward, you will be given 500 mastery points, 50 star jades, 6 lost crystals, 80 thousand credits and 9 traveler's guides. Before you can take on your next challenge, you will need to reach 400 thousand subscribers.
