Here's everything we know about every time-limited event in Honkai Star Rail 1.1:

Honkai Star Starhunt Game event

Starhunt Game starts when version 1.1 launches and ends on Monday, 19th June, and you need to be at least Trailblaze Level 21 to take part.

For this limited-time event, Leonard invites the Trailblazer back to Herta Space Station to investigate the mysterious digital graffiti left by Silver Wolf around the station.

If you find and collect all of the graffiti, you will get the 4-Star Nihility Light Cone, Before the Tutorial Mission Starts, for free! Superimposition materials for this new Light Cone are available from the event shop, where you can use special currency obtained during the event.

Starhunt Game also introduces Screwllum, a robotic member of the Genius Society and rival of Silver Wolf.

Silver Wolf's Companion Mission, 'Punklorde Mentality', is a part of Starhunt Game. Don't worry if you can't complete it during the time-limited event, as it will still be playable when it ends, as will the event stage 'Sealed Sector'.

The rewards you can earn from the Starhunt Game event include:

  • New 4-Star Nihility Light Cone, Before the Tutorial Mission Starts
  • Superimposition materials for Before the Tutorial Mission Starts
  • Stellar Jade
  • Credits
  • Tracks of Destiny
  • Light Cone Level Up materials
  • Trace and Character Ascension materials
  • Trace and Light Cone Ascension materials

Honkai Star Rail Everwinter City Museum Ledger of Curiosities event

Everwinter City Museum Ledger of Curiosities starts on Friday, 9th June and ends on Monday, 26th June.

For this Belobog overworld event, Pela asks for the Trailblazer's help in tracking down stolen exhibits taken from the newly renovated museum. The museum is a permanent new area in Star Rail, but the event is time-limited.

In addition to helping Pela, there's a mini-game which involves managing the museum. You get to collect exhibits, manage other characters, and expand the exhibits, amongst other challenges.

The rewards you can earn from the Everwinter City Museum Ledger of Curiosities event include:

  • Stellar Jade
  • Credits
  • Tracks of Destiny
  • Self-Modeling Resin
  • Light Cone Level Up materials
  • Character Level Up materials
  • Relic EXP materials

Honkai Star Rail Lab Assistants in Position event

Lab Assistants in Position starts on Monday, 19th June and ends on Monday, 3rd July.

This event is pretty simple, but you'll have to farm monster materials and synthesis materials to earn its rewards, as that's what researcher Shiling on the Herta Space Station wants for her project.

The materials Shiling wants changes on a daily basis.

The rewards you can earn from the Lab Assistants in Position event include:

  • Stellar Jade
  • Credits
  • Tracks of Destiny
  • Relic Remains
  • Relic EXP materials
  • Character Level Up materials
  • Trace and Light Cone Ascension materials
  • Consumables

Honkai Star Rail Stellar Flare event

Stellar Flare starts on Wednesday, 28th June and ends on Monday, 10th July.

This simulation combat event on the Herta Space Station is similar to the Forgotten Hall, as you need to defeat waves of enemies in a certain number of turns to claim your rewards. There are additional buffs and combat modifiers in Stellar Flare, however, which makes for a differing combat experience.

There will be trial characters provided in Stellar Flare for those who need higher-level help, or if you just want to try out a character you don't have.

The rewards you can earn from the Stellar Flare event include:

  • Stellar Jade
  • Credits
  • Tracks of Destiny
  • Relic Remains
  • Relic EXP materials
  • Character Level Up materials
  • Trace and Light Cone Ascension materials
  • Consumables

Hope you have fun during version 1.1!
