Honkai: Star Rail unlocks
One-time tasks for the current patch cycle — unlocks, questlines and setup you do once, then never again. Recurring daily and weekly tasks are on the checklist page.
Unlocks
Verified for 4.5✓ Verified in-gameOne-Time (Version 4.5 — To Roll the Stars in Astropolis)19
Permanent content added this version. Its limited event rewards still have deadlines even where the content itself stays available.
Astropolis main story
Both need Trailblaze Level 21. During Version 4.5 ONLY, Finality’s Vision lets eligible players reach the story early when the normal prerequisites are not finished — that shortcut belongs to this version, so it is not a permanent route in.
- Trailblaze Mission — "Astropolis: To Roll the Stars in Astropolis"Trailblaze Level 21 or higher. Recommended first: "Planarcadia — In Ravages Does the Whistle Sound". Progressing this is what opens the rest of Astropolis — the systems and the exploration content both hang off it.
- Trailblaze Continuance — "Astropolis: How to Lose Your Way to the Top: The Zero-Dollar Strategy"Trailblaze Level 21 or higher. Best after the mission above. Completes the permanent story progression added in 4.5.
Explore Astropolis
Space Anchors first — they make the rest of each area cheap to finish. Completionists also want the puzzles, encounters, treasures, readables, Data Bank entries and achievements in each.
- Unlock and explore Astropolis Central DistrictThe main headquarters district of Interastral Peace Entertainment. Activate the Space Anchors, then clear the exploration objectives, puzzles, encounters and treasures.
- Unlock and explore Lodestar TowerThe behind-the-scenes industrial area of Astropolis. Activate its Space Anchors and collect the one-time treasures and collectibles.
- Unlock Skycall AeryAt the top of Lodestar Tower. Finish the associated story progression and exploration, and collect the treasures, achievements and readables there.
- Finish Astropolis exploration0 / 5The sweep after the story is done — check each part rather than trusting the map to look complete.
Furbobocom — Press Affairs
A new Astropolis-focused progression system layered onto the existing Furbobocom. Parts of it need real story progression and CANNOT be reached through Finality’s Vision alone — so the early-access shortcut does not finish this group.
- Unlock the Furbobocom "Press Affairs" management systemProgress far enough through the 4.5 Trailblaze Mission for the Press Affairs panel to appear. Then dispatch furbos onto reports, produce TV shows, develop the newsroom and work through the furbo staff in the new management area.
- Progress Furbobo Freebies and claim its one-time rewardsRaise the Freebies level through the new Furbobocom content. Keep going until the new exploration gadget unlocks — that is the milestone worth reaching.
- Unlock the Energy Sensor treasure gadgetEarned by raising Furbobo Freebies. Reveals the location of one Basic Treasure on Astropolis maps per use, which is what makes the exploration sweep above finishable.
Divergent Universe: Arcadian Chronicles — 4.5 expansion
An EXTENSION of existing 4.1–4.4 progression, not a reset — nothing already earned is rolled back. These are permanent objectives rather than weekly ones, which is why they sit here and not in the weekly bucket.
- Raise Synchronicity through the newly added levelsKeep running Divergent Universe for Synchronicity Points, then claim each newly added milestone reward.
- Complete the new Stable Computing Array objectivesReview the new challenges after entering Divergent Universe and clear each one for its reward.
- Unlock Threshold Protocol 9Gated behind the required Astronomical Division difficulty. Clear the associated high-difficulty content for its first-clear rewards.
- Unlock Astronomical Division X10 — "Monarch of Myriad Machines"4.5 raises the difficulty ceiling to X10. Work up through the preceding stages to reach it.
- Clear Astronomical Division X10Optional high-difficulty endgame — NOT required for the normal weekly Divergent Universe routine. Claim the first-clear and Stable Computing Array progression rewards.
- Advance Moonlit Tales to the new maximum star ratings4.5 raises the star ceiling on items. Run Divergent Universe for the progression needed, then upgrade the newly expandable items and claim the associated bonuses and Secrets.
- Fill the new Divergent Universe collection entries0 / 5Completionist rather than mandatory. Revisit your collection records after the update — newly added entries do not announce themselves.
- Defeat "Paramount Bliss Inverted: Illwish Archlotus (Complete)"Added to the Third Plane boss pool in 4.5. Borisin Warhead: Hoolay (Complete) was REMOVED from that pool in the same update, so the rotation you remember has changed.
Completionist cleanup
Most of this unlocks on its own through the story and exploration. It is listed because the gaps are only visible if you go looking once Astropolis is finished.
- Claim the newly added Version 4.5 achievementsAdded alongside the Astropolis story, the exploration and Furbobocom. Check the Achievement menu once the main story and exploration are done.
- Collect the new Data Bank and collectible entries0 / 5Check each after finishing Astropolis rather than assuming story progress caught them all.
