Honkai Star Rail Punklorde Mentality Guide
In Honkai Star Rail there is a Companion Mission that players can complete called Punklorde Mentality as part of the Starhunt Game. This event tasks you with finding and helping Arlan and Leonard discover a hacker that is running havoc on Herta’s Space Station. To help you complete this quest see our Honkai Star Rail Punklorde Mentality Companion Mission guide below.
How to Start Punklorde Mentality
To start the Punklorde Mentality Companion Mission you need to ensure you are at least Trailblaze Level 21 or above. This allows you to take part in this activity (which is part of the Starhunt Game event). Once you’ve reached this level you will receive a message from Arlan. Reply to this message and complete the conversation to begin the Punklorde Mentality mission.
Go to Base Zone to Answer the Call
Once the Punklorde Mentality mission is activated you will find Arlan’s location marked on your map. He is at Base Zone on the Herta Space Station. Go to this location via the Reception Center fast travel point and head into the middle of the room where Arlan is speaking to someone. Speak to Arlan to trigger an interaction. Complete this interaction by selecting comments to move to the next quest objective.
Go Toward the Elevator Entrance and See Who the Important Guest Is
After you’ve spoken to Arlan you will need to head towards the elevator nearby. Simply head directly north of Arlan and keep going until you reach the elevator. Walk into the light/quest marker to trigger a cutscene where a special guest named Mr. Screwllum will appear. After the cutscene interaction you will get the next objective.
Talk to the Destressed Worker
The Distressed Worker is located nearby. He is visibly distressed and is standing next to the hologram of Herta. Walk over to the worker, named Leonard, and speak to him and he will tell you about a special scanner he made that can find graffiti in the world. Leonard tries the scanner on the hologram of Herta and asks what you see. There is a drop of sweat on the wall behind Herta’s head. Speak to Leonard about it to trigger the next objective.
Investigate the Suspicious Graffiti
Walk behind the hologram of Herta and over to the sweat/water droplet graffiti. You will be prompted to Scan Graffiti. Select this option. This opens your camera. Aim the camera at the graffiti and take a picture of it to scan it. Doing this starts a battle. Complete the battle and you will see a hologram of Silver Wolf and the next objective will begin.
Track Silver Wolf’s Path of Infiltration
From the location where you spoke to Leonard turn and head out of the room to the north. Walk along the path towards the Base Zone. Along the path you will find a ? mark on the ground. Approach the ? mark and you will be prompted to Scan Graffiti. Do this and you will see Silver Wolf run off into Base Zone.
After you’ve scanned the graffiti and Silver Wolf runs off head into Base Zone. In this area there are three locations you need to search to find three pieces of graffiti. These locations are:
- Next to the bench on your left when you enter.
- On the Reception Center desk.
- Next to the Reception Center fast travel pillar.
As you’ve done before be sure you interact with the graffiti and then take a photo of it. Each time you do this you will learn a bit more about how Silver Wolf infiltrated the space station. Once you’ve viewed the graffiti you will unlock a new objective.
Continue to Track Silver Wolf’s Infiltration Pathway
From Base Zone head along the path leading to the northwest. Go all the way to the end of the hallway to the room there. When you enter the room continue heading north to the wall of displays. On the ground near them you will find another piece of graffiti. Scan the graffiti and Leonard will appear. Talk to him and you will go to the Storage Zone section of the space station.
Head to the Curio Collection Room at the Other End
In the new area you will think you’ve run into a dead end. This dead end is in the Storage Zone where the Rating Pistol is. From here head out of the room and go to the other Curio Collection Room in the northeast. In the curio room you will find the graffiti on the Joy Filtration Set display. Scan it to trigger another interaction and get a new objective.
Head to the Main Control Room
Leave and make your way to the Main Control Room. In the control room approach and speak to Leonard standing next to the console. During this interaction you are attacked by enemies. Defeat the group and you will continue speaking to Leonard. After this interaction you will receive the Vector Raindew, Eroteme, and Silent Words graffitis. When you get these items you learn about graffiti and how it works.
Go to Herta’s Office
After you’ve received the graffitis you will be prompted to go to Herta’s Office. Fast travel there to trigger a cutscene with Herta and Screwllum. Once the cutscene is over talk to Screwllum then speak to Leonard (optional) and enter the Simulated Universe with Screwllum’s help by speaking to him. Tell Screwllum “Let’s get going” to begin.
Complete the Simulated Universe
This Simulated Universe run works similar to ones you’ve played up to this point. You need to fight your way through different stages of different enemies. As you go through the stages you will speak to both Silver Wolf and Screwllum who will guide your journey. Follow the waypoints set by them to reach the end boss.
After you defeat the final boss you will discover the Aether Cartridge. Interact with the Aether Cartridge to trigger an interaction between Silver Wolf and Screwllum. After the interaction you receive 3x Traveler’s Guide, 3x Refined Aether, 30000 Credits, and Bitmap Explosion, Hacking Callcard, and Level 1 graffiti.
Talk to Herta, Screwllum, and Leonard
Outside of the Simulated Universe make your way over to Herta. Speak to her then go and speak to Screwllum. After talking to Screwllum speak to Leonard. Following speaking to Leonard a final graffiti will appear on the door. Approach it and scan it. You will see a brief sequence with Silver Wolf and Kafka.
Following the viewing of the interaction you will unlock Silver Wolf as a visitor for the Express. You also get Level 999 and Eternal Quest graffitis. With all of the graffiti collected we can complete the Before the Tutorial Mission Starts Light Cone. Complete the image by tapping on each graffiti piece to receive the Light Cone and 300x Always Smiling currency.
Once you’ve gotten the Light Cone and currency will officially complete this Companion Mission. Following the mission Leonard will text message you. This message starts another Adventure Mission called Sealed Sector.
