Within the expansive world of Honkai: Star Rail, the HoYoVerse development team has revealed one of its most enigmatic entities—the Heliobus. Let’s explore what we’ve discovered about this intriguing presence.
Honkai: Star Rail Sheds Light on the Enigmatic Heliobus
Heliobus play a crucial role in the Xianzhou storyline, with their enigmatic presence adding an extra layer of intrigue to the immersive gaming experience. Recently, the developer released the “Heliobus Purging Manual,” a comprehensive guide that delves into the nature of these formless beings, their behavior, and the methods to deal with them.
Heliobus Basics
According to the manual, Heliobus are formless beings driven by an insatiable urge to possess individuals, particularly those harboring strong emotions. Left unchecked, their influence can lead to devastating consequences. Infected hosts fall prey to hallucinations and lose control over their actions, ultimately succumbing to combustion as their energy is drained.
Dealing with Heliobus
The path to liberation for possessed individuals lies in self-awareness. Recognizing the presence of a Heliobus is the first step towards breaking free from its grip. However, for those unable to achieve this clarity, the primary method of exorcism involves rendering the host unconscious and trapping the emerging Heliobus within a specialized force-field.
Xianzhou Storyline Encounters
Heliobus entities manifest in various segments of the Xianzhou storyline, most notably in Chapter II. Phantylia, a formidable boss encountered during the “Topclouded Towerthrust” mission, represents an older Heliobus composed of numerous smaller entities. Further expanding upon the Heliobus lore, HoYoVerse recently unveiled HuoHuo, a healer character harboring a sealed Heliobus within her tail.
The presence of Heliobus adds a layer of intrigue and complexity to the Honkai: Star Rail narrative, challenging players to confront these enigmatic entities and uncover the mysteries surrounding their existence. Whether through direct confrontation or the exploration of their influence on other characters, Heliobus serve as a compelling element in the game’s captivating story.
