Underground Treasure Hunt
While the bulk of Honkai Star Rail 1.2 takes place aboard the Xianzhou Luofu, the Trailblaze crew are scheduled to return to Belobog's Underworld in order to take part in the Underground Treasure Hunt – a series of limited-time challenges to uncover lost Honkai Star Rail relics. These challenges consist of flipping cards on a board to uncover various resources. These resources can grant special buffs and temporary stat bonuses to assist you during the Underground Treasure Hunt's random combat encounters.
You also have the chance to encounter various characters as you progress, which then become optional trial units that you can recruit to your team. Alongside the usual event rewards, completing Underground Treasure Hunt will bestow the ultra-rare Self-Modeling Resin, which you can use to synthesize relics to your preferred specifications, making the Underground Treasure Hunt an unmissable event.
