Honkai: Amphoreus Star Rail is poised to break the recent setup pattern

Honkai: Star Rail's latest setup breaks the formula set by its predecessors, which could make the game feel like a return to form.

Honkai: Star Rail needs to pull out all the stops for Amphoreus


Historically, Honkai: Star Rail always promoted whenever a new world or area is introduced. During the first year, it managed to expand Xianzhou Luofu by opening Scalegorge Waterscape and Fyxestroll Garden, both of which have different map structures and mechanics. But many fans paid attention when Penacony was introduced in version 2.0 because it became the biggest map in Honkai: Star Rail to date. Planet of Dreams and Celebrations also introduced unique rotating puzzle rooms in Dreamscape, a first for any HoYovere game.

Because of this, expectations are definitely high for the design of Amphoreus, as fans can look forward to a world that is grander than Penacony. In addition to rumors that Amphoreus could be Greek-inspired, the Golden Epic trailer also hinted that the planet suffered after a thousand years of conflict between gods and mortals, and that it was up to the Chrysos Heirs to revive the planet. While this could mean that Amphoreus might be grim after the war, it's still possible that it could be full of lively characters and NPCs and amazing architecture inspired by ancient Greece. Additionally, Amphoreus is also a type of hot spring in ancient Greece, so the Astral Express Crew could find plenty of them around the planet.


Another interesting detail about Amphoreus is that it is associated with three paths, with Erudice confirmed as one of them. It's likely that the Path of Remembrance could also play a role in the story, especially since then Honkai: Star Rail officially introduces the new path in version 3.0. The Garden of Recollection, a faction that worships the Aeon, Fuli the Remembrance, also has its eyes on Amphoreus, despite not seeing the happenings on the planet. The path of destruction here could also wreak havoc on the citizens of Amphoreus by building a Stellaron into the planet, which can cause corruption in certain areas.

Amphora's supposed three paths

  • Path of Erudition: The Path is overseen by the Aeon Nous, a sentient machine that provides knowledge to those who seek it.
  • A trip down memory lane: A new path in the works that will allow players to summon independent memosprites that can aid them in battle. So far, the characters known to officially use Remembrance's abilities are Aglaea and Trailblazer, and more characters are expected to be added to the list.
  • Path of Destruction: Nanook the Destruction oversees the Path of Destruction, and Amphoreus' Golden Saga trailer shows their hand extending from the ground during the conflict.


The mystery surrounding Amphore could be a boost Honkai: Star Rail, because the developers could have the creative freedom to add a HoYoverse flavor to Greek mythology while building this planet and its stories. HoYovers had previously created his own rendition of Norse mythology in Honkai Impact 3so it wouldn't be surprising to see the developers' interpretation of ancient Greece in Amphoreus. At the same time, fans were able to try new mechanics while exploring the planet and fighting enemies, as well as the HoYoverse with Penacons.
