Shine, shine, my star of genius Honkai: StarRail — the first mission of the continuation of Mastery from the chain "The Crown of Mortal and Divine". The Hertha Space Station has been busy lately: Simulated Universe an update came out, and members of the Society of Geniuses arrived on board with new ideas. The pioneer will have to meet ruan mei and help her with her research.
In this guide, we’ll look at how to complete “Shine, Shine, My Star of Genius” in HCP. We'll tell you how to perform the summoning ritual and explore Isolated areato get into the main incubator and fight with Bug Lord "Starbreaker".
How to start the quest Shine, Shine, My Star of Genius
You can open the task “Shine, Shine, My Star of Genius” after meeting the following requirements:
- Reach 35 Mastering level or higher.
- Complete the mission "Silence of the Galaxy" on Yarilo-VI.
Afterwards, the Pioneer’s smartphone should receive a message from Hertha: Arrived at the space station Skrullum and Ruan Mei, members of the Genius Society No. 76 and No. 81 respectively. In her free time, the station owner asks to meet one of the creators of the Virtual Universe.
Walkthrough of the quest Burn, burn, my star of genius Honkai: Star Rail
Spend the whole day with Ruan Mei - the girl has become somewhat fond of the Pathfinder and decided to ask him for help. Explore the forbidden zone and find its creatures who participated in the experiment to find the formula of life.
Talk to Herta
Travel to the Space Station to meet Gerta and Astoy. They receive guests from the society of geniuses and share their impressions. Ruan Mei does not like lavish receptions and went somewhere, asking for a phase flame for her research.
Immediately after the dialogue with the girls, read the messages in the gossip group: the guest is very withdrawn and keeps aloof, which everyone is extremely unhappy with.
Find Ruan Mei
Hurry to the platform in the Support Area and meet the mysterious girl standing by the train. She will immediately touch the Pathfinder to read biological indicators, and then offer a strange cake. Even if you refuse the treat, eat it anyway.
Follow Ruan Mei along the platform and listen to her story of how, together with her mother, she breathed life into a dead planet. Afterwards, the girl will apologize for the interference and say that she wants to make you her assistant, so she added truth hiding serum to the dessert. Now you won’t be able to tell the truth to all questions regarding the researcher.
Get information from researchers
Teleport to the Central Passage in the Main Control Area and go to the West Wing to meet with the Ecology Department researcher. Ask what kind of mess happened at the station - the man will share that small strange creatures crawled out from somewhere in the Storage Area.
Head to the Storage Area
Move to the External Control Center on the first floor of the location and go north to the marked area where the rest of the scientists have already gathered.
As soon as you approach the room, you will receive a number of new assignments. Optional actions: try to create a new life and ask around about Ruan Mei.
To do this, approach the computer and inspect the device to start a dialogue with the man next to you. He will offer to mix some ingredients, which will result in a copy of the phase flame. The choice does not affect the plot, however, allows you to create a unique creature, partly referencing the unusual sides of Ruan Mei's character. You can use any of the options you like, for example, the combination:
- Endlessly burning passion.
- Emotional intellect.
- Ruan Mei's face is impartial.
You can skip additional points and immediately check the noise, approaching researchers from the Department of Applied Arts and the Department of Ecology. According to them, you should leave hearts wherever Mrs. Ruan Mei appeared to meet the venerable Cheese Dumpling, her partner’s main fan.
Perform a mysterious summoning ritual
Click on the button below to make graffiti. Add more heart designs to square on the floor, using the option "Spray" on the right side of the screen until a creature appears.
Talk to Ruan Mei's creature: it will jump onto the table nearby and bark, and a researcher-translator will suddenly appear nearby. He will introduce that same Cheese Dumpling and offer to activate the synesthesia beacon in order to understand strange speech.
Afterwards, you will contact a researcher from the Department of Ecology via smartphone, who will tell you that living desserts should be thrown into the toilet - a one-way passage connected to the Storage Area.
Place Ruan Mei's creation
Run south and look at the toilet in the center of the room, try to put the Cheese Dumpling in there, but it won't fit. The creature is trying to earn the love and recognition of its creator. After a heartfelt conversation, it is better to smoothly activate the teleport so that he is carried away into the funnel.
Your partner will report on the phone about some emergency; she urgently needs help.
Talk to Ruan Mei
Rush to Gerta's Office in the Main Control Area and meet with a member of the Society of Geniuses. The girl wants you to be present at the meeting with her and speak on her side.
Having said “Okay...” you will automatically move to the hall where the creators of the Virtual Universe have gathered. Go forward and meet Ruan Mei. Behave with restraint and do not give away secrets, in any case elections will not affect the plot - you will talk nonsense because of the serum you took.
Follow Ruan Mei to the exit - the meeting will be long and tedious, so she will instruct you to return the remaining life forms, some of them are stored in Isolated area. She will leave your fingerprint on her access card so she can enter a restricted area.
When the conversation ends, leave the Virtual Universe using the portal at the other end of the room.
Take the elevator to the secret area
Get to the central lift on the first floor of the Storage Area and examine the panel to enter a new area and watch a short cutscene.
Find the mysterious little robot
Go west and talk to the leftover rice-frying robot, from him you will learn how to get to the incubator and some more information about this place.
Then run straight along the corridor, stand on the platform and go down.
Continue searching for clues
Next you will get to the southern part of the second floor of the Isolated Zone - go straight and turn right at the fork. At the end of the path, activate the controller to open the gate leading to the Pharmacy Cabinet.
Examine the computer in the center of the hall and study old recordings in which your partner talks about the source of the phase flame and her creatures - they show themselves well and tend to be close to the creator.
Find the source of the noise
An unexpected sound will distract you from watching - go to the next area and check what it was. Examine the very upset Smoky Bean Paste and try to console her.
The noise is coming from the locked compartment, first go down the stairs and place the Ruan Mei creation. Follow the corridor through the automatically opening doors and reach the Nutrient Medium. Be careful, you will encounter many camouflaged Immature Sting Beetles along the way.
Continue searching for clues
In the same place, check another computer where new records about a member of the Society are stored - the girl got confused and gave up. Go to the next room next to the teleporter and examine the third archive: Ruan seeks to unravel the formula of life itself.
Place Ruan Mei's creation
Follow the corridor on the right to another compartment and check the large green vessels - dip the Smoky Bean Paste into sunbathing, eliminating negative emotions.
Climb the stairs at the other end and explore the secret compartment, where you will meet a small robot. Show your pass and check the old incubation footage of your partner thinking about emanators. Then open the entrance to the incubator and hear the strange sound again.
Go back upstairs and continue your investigation.
Get to the locked door and activate the controller to shorten the path to the elevator you arrived here on.
Run further along the corridor and use the western lift, or you can immediately teleport to Distribution center on the third floor so as not to waste time.
On the spot you will encounter a strange stranger with a plaster head - he will direct you to the main “masterpiece of genius” hidden in the central incubator.
Behold the "headache"
We recommend preparing your squad in advance before the final battle and adding characters with the following combat type to it: physical, icy and imaginary.
Follow straight to the large gate, go down the elevator and look around the spacious area, where you will encounter the main boss - Bug Lord "Starbreaker".
Skarakabaz (synthetic) deals quantum damage and is especially dangerous in the Reproduction state, as it begins to summon Corrosive Stingbugs onto the field. How to defeat him:
- Destroy the boss' minions — after death they explode and cause damage to the Overlord.
- Monitor the health of your squad members and heal them in time before the healer becomes the main target and gets "Binding" status, postponing moves.
- Be sure to take a character into your squad who can take off weakening.
- Try break through Skarakabaz's vulnerability, when he summons new bugs, which will cause them to explode.
- If the squad's survivability is not enough, you can take 2 hills to the team.
Find Ruan Mei
Go to the platform in the Support Zone and meet the girl - she says goodbye to the Pathfinder, saying that the effect of the previously eaten cake will soon end. The partner leaves the Hertha Space Station, as new research awaits her, and asks to look after her creatures.
The next mission of the continuation of Mastery is "There is no rest for fools".

I am a beginner with one leg at the 3rd level of world balance. A team of a healer, 2 shields and a damage dealer helped me. I took Natasha, March-7, Piro GG, Yanqing (if it’s not there, then I would try Gerda). Everyone is of average level in terms of tracks and artifacts, without eidolons, the second eidolon is only from Piro GG (bought before the battle in the store, don’t forget to look too), but the maximum levels of the character and cone. March-7 and Piro GG were hit the hardest, they would prefer to put artifacts for defense and increase hp into battle. From food, I added a dish before the battle to increase hp and resistance to effects, and the second was a disposable shield. I put it in order: Yanqing, Piro GG, Natasha, March-7. The tactic is to try to hit with a normal attack so that your skills accumulate and hit specifically at the beetles that are closer to the boss or whose next turn is to try to freeze them (if there are suddenly no beetles, then at the boss). As soon as you see that the ult is coming, get ready to press because. any enemy attack can unexpectedly connect. Use all skills in defense and healing (usually there are no cells left for the skill, but if there are, it’s still better to have a basic attack because defense and healing are more important). March-7 always defended herself, occasionally pyro. By the way, upgrade the traces of March-7 and Natasha so that they can remove the weakening and trace of the pyro so that the shield is on all allies. Hold Natasha’s ultimate, use it if it’s only 30-40% for most heroes, I used it only 3 times during the battle, everyone survived. This is a long fight, about 20 minutes, but slowly and surely the boss's life is removed (mainly from beetle explosions).
Editing for dishes: the first dish is to increase attack power and critical chance, the second is to increase defense and resistance to effects.
A very difficult boss. I don’t know how ordinary workers can pass it)
I passed it with the team: Yanqing, Moon Eater, Pathfinder (fire), Lynx. Yanqing should be fast (about 130-135 speed). A pioneer with 2 eidolon and great defense (I also have a Cheetah cone), his task is to constantly provoke the boss in front of his camp. Otherwise, you will definitely lose your damage dealer or healer, and again
God help me, how to kill this beetle, I’ve been sitting with it forever. The pack contains Argenti E1 with Signa, Blade, Bailu and Lynx, and I still don’t have enough heal)
Went to see it Ratio+Natasha+Klara+Mart
There were no problems (the main thing is to throw shields correctly and give heals to those who are not under the shield)
I need to upgrade my imaginary character to pass this. In order to level up an imaginary character, I need materials from this boss. To get these materials, I need to beat this boss without an imaginary character. I'M GOING OUT OF MIND RIGHT NOW
ok, it was just worth whining. pack - blade, ratio, lynx and Natasha. with grief in half, she took a buff on HP and attack power, it’s easy for the blade to kill small ones, and the ratio removes vulnerability very well. Natasha and Lynx remove debuffs
I did it!!! Luka, gg fire, Natasha, doctor
And I thought that in the ghost story there was stuffiness and d*** opponents. This thing breaks all records for content creation.
I can't get past this
I PASSED
in short, build 1 dd (destruction I have a blade 80 with a sign 80) 2 heals (waffle bailu 70 with unpumped traces and Natasha's signa 60 lvl and heal lynx with 0 traces up to 4 lvl 67 lvl cone equal exchange 55 lvl) and a shield (March 7 60 lvl with leg cone from herta's store lvl 60 traces up to lvl 6). In phase 1, we hit the small ones as much as possible, if the DD hits the AoE, then everything hits the big beetle. In phase 2, we hit the priority of the yellow beetles as they appear, you don’t have to touch the black ones, if the DD is AoE, then they themselves fall off from the AoE and from the explosion when the yellow beetles die. Go for a long time without breaking through (the large beetle has physical, imaginary and ice vulnerability)
heal and throw shields on supports mainly, if the DD is really bad then shield him
To hell with this f***ing beetle of yours, I no longer have credits to download characters. Right now, out of anger, I’m going to torment the simulator for 2 hours, at least thanks for the ass lifting...
After a couple of weeks of suffering, I completed this task. pack: Natasha (lvl 70), Yukun (lvl 70), Welt (lvl 80) and Gerta (lvl 75).
Before the battle, we increase everyone’s energy, use the Yukun skill, hit everyone with the ult, repeat until we kill them, the 1st phase is completed in 2-2,5 cycles, with the second you need to suffer a little. Almost all Persians are leveled up in attack strength, Natasha and Gerta E6, traces lvl 5-7.
My Persians have little protection, so they are very tied to hill, instead of Gerta, Mart7 can stand, I tried it with her, but I need to take the relic for the speed of energy recovery for her.
I covered the beetle with a pack: Yanqing, Natasha, Sushan and the cheetah, all level 40, Sushan and Natasha died in phase 2, it was hard, but I managed it, I assure you, you can do it too (passed it 5 times, if anything)
passed the beetle in a pack: Pioneer in destruction, March 7, Himeko and Bailu. everything up to level 60 is pumped in, cones are level 60, relics are level 10, traces are pumped in all the way.
During the battle, I adhered to tactics so that the big beetle did not shit many smaller beetles. when “yellow” beetles appeared, I took them as a priority target, otherwise they could seriously beat up the squad.
The main thing is not to bring the team’s points to zero in order to remove binding statuses using March 7
I just can’t get through, no matter how hard I try... this bug is annoying as hell. Of those pumped up to lvl 50, I only have Welt, GG, Natasha, Lynx, Ruan Mei, Tingyun, Herta and Xuei. spent all the food both on increasing HP and defense, and on increasing attack. I passed with one healer - the velt kills in the second phase, I pass with two - it kills the healers in the first phase
I couldn’t fail, I scored, I leveled up to lvl 60, now I can’t even pass the first stage, why am I such a d***
My pack is for those who have Cheetah and Locha: Cheetah, Sushan, Locha, Natasha. Before Natasha there was Lynx, they lost in the second phase. Because both the boss and the beetles are sensitive to fisuron, Natasha here helps the main DD - Sushan.
RazGG, Gerta, March7, Cheetah, all 50s. I failed on the 1st try (how did I fail on the 1st try? I pumped up the cheetah and immediately fired it up)
The beetle is easily passed by Zele, Sushan, Cheetah and Locha. You don’t have to pay any attention to the small ones at all, the main thing is to knock down the defense of the large ones, you passed without any strain at all, and at the same time you received an achievement. All the best.
Disgusting story with a disgusting character and a disgusting ending... Even though I passed on the first try. The feeling is disgusting.
what didn’t you like? Ruan Mei, a scientist with her c**kroaches in her head, is trying to comprehend the essence of life (strangely, not through emanators of abundance) in her activities she has clearly helped millions of people (lifeless planets are mentioned where life blossomed after her) and she has very dangerous and not entirely ethical experiments, but that’s the price .
I cried while passing this beetle. Still can't get through. I'll go and try again.
On the day the update was released, I closed Jing Yuan, Armor, Tingyun and Lynx with a squad, and before the battle I drank the HP consumption and increased attack/crit power, since Jing Yuan suffers a little from a lack of the latter characteristic. In the battle with the boss, massive damage actually helps a lot (in the comments we already wrote about Argenti and Clara, who feel great against Skarakabaz), plus Lynx is revealed very well due to its superpower, which removes weakenings. The main thing is to track the main attacks and deal with small bugs in time. And, of course, it is important to strengthen the squad if it is weakly assembled. This will help not only against the current opponent, but also in the future. Still, more and more Mastery missions are now being released, which pit you against serious bosses as you progress through the story.
It's just terrible. I haven’t been able to get past this bug for two days now. I don’t have normal dds, and epics don’t help. I don't know what to do at all
I filled it up with Luka, GG in Conservation, Mart and Natasha. It hurt, but it was real.
As long as you don’t kill him, there’s enough of a standard pack, the only thing is to pump up their level and sign the clothes by at least 10, and so on.
I can't kill skarakabaza at all... it's too difficult
take 2 heals. I don’t have an imaginary DD at all, not even a velt. stammered only this way..
that feeling when there is only 1 healer on your account..
Thank you very much for the advice about two healers, I finally got through it)
«He will offer to mix some ingredients, the result will be a copy of the phase flame." Not always. I added beauty, Ruan Mei frowns and something else and in the end I got a copy of the piggy bank
I added emotional intelligence and a weak smile (and something else, I don't remember either) and got almond milk
