Walkthrough of the quest Once Upon a Time in Arcadia in Honkai: Star Rail
The huntress steals an artifact from the seeker Jason - a golden thread. Delve into the thief's memories and find out why this thing is so precious to her. Help two lovers from the past escape from prison and try to find Arcadia.
Fight the Scions of Fury
Guardian Camilla will ask you to deal with the offspring of Nicador - add heroes who adhere to the electric, quantum, ice and imaginary damage types to the squad in advance to quickly deal with the enemies.
After winning, find out that one of the archers stole the caravan's goods and agree to find her. After that, the quest "Once Upon a Time in Arcadia" will appear in the general journal.
Ask Demetria, Ctesiphon, Aphreya and Aglaia
Visit Ruins of the Strife of the Castrum of Kremnos and find the Fury Hunter behind the floating red shield. She will refuse to return the golden thread until she meets Paris of Arcadia, but even Memo is unfamiliar with these memories.
Go to the Marble Fair and ask about Paris and Arcadia:
- Demetria at the fruit shop had heard nothing about this.
- The manager of Ctesiphon's bookstore believes that Arcadia is a utopia from fiction.
- Afreya and Aglaia The studio will shed light on what is happening, but the exact location of Paris or Arcadia is unknown to them.
Memo will inform you that the descriptions collected are enough to return to the past, and will offer to talk to the thief again.
Explore the defenses of Kremnos's castrum
Teleport to the Ruins of Discord and speak with the Fury Hunter again, then delve into Kremnos's past after the lost war.
Talk to the two guards and examine the statue of the offspring. The gates to the chamber are barricaded: to get inside to the Huntress, you need to correctly install all the statues, since it will not be possible to break or move it.
Activate the first Divine Device Statue
Go behind the statue and go down to the quest marker.
Point your cursor at the statue on the left and hold space/button in the right corner, to install the first device using the Oronis prayer. Similar mechanics were already encountered in the mission of Exploration "Oh Kremnos, wash away the rust of blood 2".
Activate the second statue of the divine device
Turn left and run to the next platform on the same level, running past or killing the guard. As you approach, Memo will note that the sword has returned to its place on its own, so you don't have to do anything to activate it.
Activate the third statue of the divine device
Move further to the left and clear the age from the red obstacle, after which you can freely interact with the control center by the hand of Zagreus.
Switch to the mechanical brush and go down to the central platform. Press the "Hit" button in the lower corner and aim at the wooden boxes - launch the device to destroy the barrier.
Disconnect from the control center and head to the main platform, from where you can go down the unblocked road on the left to the third sword.
In the same way, through the prayer to Oronis, start the mechanism.
Activate the fourth statue of the divine device
Run past the wonder sphere across the bridge to the final activation point, where Memo will warn you that the sword has no base. Go a little further and launch the hand of Zagreus.
Swim up to the fourth statue and take the base on the left - place the figure under the sword and return to restoring the mechanism through the Oronis prayer.
Run to the central platform and enter the cell by going down the steps and activating the elevator. Inside you will meet prisoners who will immediately try to hide, as well as 4 chests.
Catch Paris, who escaped with the Fury Huntress
Take the elevator up and help the unfortunate fugitives get rid of the Guardians of Fury.
Restore Furyhunter with the Slab of Prophecy
Enter the first memory and automatically teleport to Ohema. Find Paris and the Fury Hunter near the forge and agree to restore the slab:
- Place the diamond in the center of the figure.
- Place the remaining two pieces at the bottom to create a Christmas tree.
Video walkthrough of the puzzle:
Take a walk with Paris and the Fury Hunter
Delve into the past of the Fury Hunter and take a walk with the whole company to the fruit stand, which was once owned by Mitanira. Then go to the bookstore and talk to Kalp. All the inhabitants will greet the scion of discord with caution and along the way tell the story of Amphoreus.
At the end, walk to the atelier, meet with Agalaya from the past and learn more about the power of Mnestia, the titan of romance. Talk to Paris and the Fury Hunter on the side - the girl likes a peaceful existence, but she is worried about the army outside the city walls.
Use Prayer to restore items broken by the Fury Hunter.
Proceed to the second memory of the archer and go to the banquet in the Marble Palace. During the dance, the Huntress will accidentally destroy a column: to avoid the girl being brought to trial, rewind time with Prayers to Oronis. Afterwards, talk to Philoka and Paris separately, and the scene will end.
Find a lone Fury Hunter
Automatically teleport to the market and climb up the steps to the roof on the right to hear the story of the fate of the descendants of discord.
Find out Paris's plan
In the third memory, talk to Paris, who wants to escape the city to Arcadia with his beloved Huntress.
Then find the guy in the company of the archer and find out how the golden thread fell into the hands of the descendant of discord. The couple decided to split up and leave the city separately, to meet again later thanks to the artifact.
Escape from Ochema with Paris
Run to the southwest exit of the city, find out what's going on at the gate, and fight the guards of rage.
The commander-in-chief dies, and Paris betrays his beloved, not wanting to remain an enemy in the eyes of the people and fearing for his life.
Give the golden thread to Jason and Aglaya
Having left the past, talk to the Fury Hunter, who has gone into a deep eternal sleep, and take the thread. Show the artifact to Aglaya - it turns out that the thread itself is of no value to the titans, the thing is considered expensive only because of the memory of two lovers.
A separate guide explains how to get the secret achievement "Choke Blues", which is related to the adventure mission in question.

I almost rotted while I was evacuating this stuffiness
I liked the plot. It's really interesting. And it's shown from the observer's point of view for the most part. There's no feeling that you're forced to worry or hate the characters. But the character of Paris is poorly developed. I could only draw one conclusion from him. It turns out that, living in Oheme, he finally degraded under the romance.
cool quest, and it also repeats the style of ancient Greek theater: both chorus and tragedy 🙁
this is the most stuffy quest in all my time playing xsr. i'm tired of hammering the spacebar and lmb buttons
Oh my God, someone is forced to read... Are you also one of those unique people who play spins and not the game?
what the f*ck is it to play spins when you get 50 gems for this long, stuffy driss?)))
+ + +
I almost died while I was boiling through all this crap. My fingers hurt.
Has anyone managed to get the achievement "Choking Blues" First of all, he loved water, and then what he lacked. Find out the truth about Arkady?
Hello! There is a separate guide for this achievement: https://wotpack.free4k.net/udushayuschiy-blyuz-v-honkai-star-rail-kak-poluchit-dostizhenie/
category of terribly long and boring quests for pennies of resources, in fact I still don't understand why Hoyo does this, it's like reading an uninteresting book, but alas in such games there is still a limit of gems. I want to believe that all sorts of freaks who "like the plot" will tone down their ardor and will not rub the developers in about the importance of tons of dialogues
Great quest, it wasn't stuffy or anything, the seriousness is diluted with funny pick-up lines and the main character's reaction to them. It's just that someone plays spins and for him the gems are the end in themselves, but that's strictly your problem.
play spins? for the quest they give 50 gems. surprisingly, not everyone likes stuffy long quests about npc, this has never happened before and here it is again
(I wrote about gems twice... if you play hovers games not for the plot and don't want to skip long dialogues - donate, everything is extremely simple. Even with the release of Genshin, everything was laid out on the shelves for us) the quest was not made on the toilet like most others and this is clearly visible in literally everything. It is very similar to the quest Cocona "Imagine the Coming Rose" which I got into up to the balls and unfortunately still hasn't left, which is why I believe that sometimes you shouldn't skip absolutely all quests, without even trying to get into it.
It's funny how you yourself created the category of "horribly long and boring quests for pennies of resources" in games from Hoyo, this was initially a very mournful idea.
No one is telling the developers about the importance of the plot, making multi-ton dialogues is the main feature of Hoers and taking it away is a crime.
and in general, I don't know why I should cry? there are more than enough games with gacha and all you need to do in order not to listen to long dialogues is to delete all the games of Hoevers and any other game where you can jinx on banners with characters that you will replace in a month anyway (this is still not a guarantee of short dialogues)
oh my god i forgot that in xsr for 5 regions in a row they give absolutely identical enemies just with different textures so the take about pennies of resources becomes even funnier
what if
this quest doesn't exist?
Have you completed the story?
How do I get the "Choke Blues" achievement? It's not given for the quest
Hello, the link to the achievement guide was left in the comments and at the end of the article!
I'm closing new achievements and I suspect that the "Choking Blues" achievement from the "Our Memories" section is related to this quest.
To get it, after completing the quest, you need to return to the Ruins of Discord, to the place where you first met the archer lying on the ground. There you will be able to interact with the butterfly.
