Honkai Star Rail Acheron Materials List

Acheron shares her materials with several characters, so make sure to plan ahead.

Scooping up Acheron's materials in Honkai: Star Rail sees you bouncing back and forth between old bosses and new buds. The 5-star Nihility character uses a boss drop that's common to most characters, but also Trace items shared with Black Swan.

Since Acheron's best teams involve other Nihility characters, including Kafka and Black Swan, you'll be burning through items pretty quickly, soake sure to plan how you spend your fuel and time before diving in.

Our Honkai Star Rail Acheron materials list lays out what you need for each ascension milestone and everything for her most important Traces.

How to get Dream Collection Component, Dream Flow Valve, and Dream Making Engine in Honkai Star Rail

Dream Collection items come from Dreamjolt Troupe enemies in Penacony's Golden Hour and basically anywhere else on Penacony. You'll find get them from most stages of Herta's Simulated Universe, and they drop higher-tier items once you reach higher Equilibrium Levels.

The easiest way to get Dream items is by sending characters out on daily assignments. If you set the length to the maximum and pick two suitable characters, you'll end up with a couple dozen or so each day. Throw the low-tier items into the synthesizer to make higher-tier ones without having to grind quite as much for them.

Where to find Shape Shifter's Lightning Staff in Honkai Star Rail

Shape Shifter's Lightning Staff comes from the Shape of Doom Stagnant Shadow fight in Honkai Star Rail. That one unlocks during the main Luofu storyline, though you can transmute unwanted ascension items in the synthesis menu and turn them into Lightning Staff as well.

If you have Kafka or Jing Yuan, they will need the staff as well, so bear this in mind.

The easiest way to get credits is from one of Golden Calyx. Bear in mind that these cost fuel, so you'll need to balance these challenges with your other level-up activities.

How to get Fiery Spirit, Starfire Essence, and Heaven Incinerator in Honkai Star Rail

The Fiery Spirit series of items is a set of Trace materials introduced in version 2.0 of Honkai Star Rail, but if you've reached the Luofu's alchemy commission, you can start farming them before arriving on Penacony. Choose the Fiery Spirit option from the Calyx menu there, and you're good to go.

How to get Past Evils of the Borehole Planet Disaster in Honkai Star Rail

The only way to get Past Evils of the Borehole Planet Disaster in Honkai Star Rail is from the Seclusion Zone Echo of War challenge in Herta's Space Station. It unlocks at the end of the Crown of Mundane and Divine continuance story, so if you're new to Star Rail, it'll be a while before you can access that fight.
