In Honkai: Star Rail Jarilo-VI, the second area that Trailblazers will explore, automatons are a common sight. These robots were originally designed to assist people, but due to their reliance on outdated Old World technology, many of them malfunction in the present day. Additionally, some of these automatons are controlled by Svarog, a humanoid who initially opposes the Trailblazer’s party. In order to claim the substantial reward offered in the early-game feature of Forgotten Hall level 8, players must defeat two of these malfunctioning robots.
Forgotten Hall Level 8 Guide - Honkai: Star Rail
Level 8 of the Forgotten Hall in Honkai: Star Rail presents players with the formidable challenge of defeating the Level 50 Automaton Direwolf and Automaton Grizzly bosses. These bosses have a vulnerability to ice and lightning, making them susceptible to attacks of this nature. Additionally, players will also have to contend with two extra Automaton minions during the battle.
Automaton Direwolf
Enemy | Weakness | Toughness |
---|---|---|
Automaton Direwolf | Ice, Lightning, Imaginary | 300 |
Automaton Beetle | Lightning, Wind, Imaginary | 60 |
Automaton Hound | Physical, Lightning | 60 |
The Automaton Direwolf primarily inflicts damage through the application of the Bleed debuff. It is crucial for players to be aware that this boss can accumulate more than five Bleed stacks, which can prove fatal if not promptly cleansed. Alongside the Bleed debuff, players should also be attentive to the Lock On Target ability. This ability designates a target icon on a chosen ally. If the marked ally remains unprotected when the Direwolf attacks on its next turn, a random ally will be targeted following the initial hit. Consequently, players must ensure the safety of the marked ally by either providing them with a shield or diverting the Direwolf's attention through taunting.
Automaton Grizzly
Enemy | Weakness | Toughness |
---|---|---|
Automaton Grizzly | Fire, Ice, Lightning | 420 |
Automaton Beetle | Lightning, Wind, Imaginary | 60 |
Automaton Hound | Physical, Lightning | 60 |
Automaton Spider | Lightning, Wind | 60 |
focus on defeating the Spiders first before attacking the Grizzly, or use skills or abilities that can bypass or ignore taunt effects. This will allow players to deal damage to the Spiders without being hindered by the Grizzly's taunt ability.
Additionally, players should prioritize their attacks on the Spiders, as their self-destruct ability poses a significant threat to the team. It is crucial to eliminate them quickly to prevent them from causing massive damage to the players' party.
Furthermore, players should be cautious when defeating the Spiders, as their detonation will also affect their own allies. This means that players should consider the positioning of their team members and ensure that their allies with low HP and Toughness are not in proximity to the defeated Spiders.
In summary, players should devise a strategy that focuses on swiftly eliminating the Automaton Spiders while considering the Grizzly's taunt ability and the potential damage caused by the Spiders' detonation. By doing so, players can effectively overcome this challenging encounter.
Bring an AoE attacker
Quickly dispose of the Spiders before the taunt occurs
Bring a cleanser to remove the taunt
