We hope our guide helped you understand how to open the Corrosion Cave in Honkai: Star Rail and complete each one. If you have any questions, ask them in the comments, we will definitely answer. Read Honkai: Star Rail guides in the appropriate section of the site.
can i please have the cave of corrosion: House of Shackles? i don't understand how to open it
I would also like to know. I went through the whole storyline, caught Mr Sunday, and the cave is closed. I hope in the future they will add hints where and what opens and what quests are needed to open it.
Hello. If you mean the dungeon with the set The priest's thorny path, then from the western teleport closest to it you need to interact with the mechanism and thus turn the path towards the dungeon.
And in what location is this dungeon located? I cleaned all the penakonia and did not find anything
It's not in Penakonia, it's in Lofou in the House of Shackles.
«Stars are frozen toys“It was enough to take in my case. At mastery level 21.
At what rank can I farm legendary relics?
I can’t find the corrosion cave: path of the will-o’-the-flame, although everything is as in the guide: the location is open and rank 29 is open. What to do? 🙁
I dare to suggest that you most likely reached this location based on the plot and nothing more. To open activities, you often need to first reach the next location through the plot, and then manually return to the desired one and activate the cave there. If this is still not enough, then you need to go through the story a little further. You can track whether a given cave has become accessible through the directory; all available but not yet activated activities are entered there automatically, with the appropriate mark.
correct:
the duke burning to the ground and the prisoner of the gloomy dungeon are switched places, their “description”, picture and “who is suitable” are indicated for their neighbor, and not their own
where is the path of darkness, how to open it
Guide updated! Added information about the Path of Darkness.
Thank you!
