Honkai Star Rail 2.4 - All Boss Fights & Ending (Full Story) 

I think it look better too

Yes compositing started improving toward the end of 1.2! It wasn’t always obvious because most of the cutscenes after 1.2 happend in interiors and dark light scenarios, unlike belobog where most happend in the exteriors natural sunlight. You can compare how they handle the sunlight in belobog cutscene and now in 2.4. It’s very different! As someone who paint, here are the changes; the lineart on 3D model has become so thin it doesn’t help readability of the composition anymore, shadows are now the ones doing the heavy lifting there (chiaroscuro). Bigger value and color contrasts between light and shadows areas. Rely less on local color for readability too (notan). Heavier rim lights, heavier atmospheres and ambient lights. And it keeps improving! The heavier changes happend toward the end of 1.2, after that the improvements have become more subtle each patchs. The most recent improvement isn’t a technical one but a cleaver one. They used the cast shadows of the houses to help the readability of the yanqing vs yunli cutscenes, creating bigger contrast between the focus of the shot (characters) and the environnement. It was cleaver af!

​​​@@ymi8238 You say that it's an improvement but honestly I think the new compositing style looks way worse than what they had before. Not only does it feel odd transitioning from an in-engine dialogue cutscene to a pre-rendered cinematic with a completely different style, I also think the way they dulled down all the colours and increased the shadows make it look kind of dreary

I think they making the wolf leader a weekly boss next patch Herta station 2 boss Jarilo 1 boss Penacony 1 boss Luofu 1 boss + wolf guy

@@rednave4489 next patch weekly boss is fei xiao

@@rednave4489yeah they are I saw some leaks of it

@@khoitrannhat6075no it’s more like feixiao got possessed by big wolf guy/lost control of moon rage

@@khoitrannhat6075I didn’t see a target on feixiao in the leaks so she is probably being held hostage or something

YEA 😭😭😭

Thankfully xueyi can just switch to another body so she not dead ….. again

We will see in the next 38 days

So, does this means the story of 2.4 isn't quite finished just yet?

Thankfully that's just an automaton body, real Xueyi is long dead anyway.

​​@@yixoEven if she dies, again... Then how exactly you can kill someone, who's dead already? Xueyi have an automaton body, and a few spare bodies. Even if she get killed or crushed, her soul can enter to the other body. Hanya have a bit more luck here than Xuyei, but she can be killed easily, than Xuyei.

@@SylarGKIW You don't kill Xueyi she's already dead, if you wanna perma stop her you'd probably need to blow up the ten lords commission since they're the ones recalling her back from the dead. Hanya biologically at least is just a normal Xianzhou native so you can kill her normally.

​@@SylarGKIWshe just hsr Kenny Mccormick and another jobbers

@@SylarGKIWI don’t remember if it’s explained how a person in Xueyi’s situation can ultimately die. Because her real body is long gone, she just switches from a mechanical body to the other everytime she “dies”, so I assume that her soul will deteriorate with time and that’s how she dies idk

I felt so bad for him while we were in the prison 😢

I don’t understand why he didn’t just… do the thing? I mean everyone knows he’s the Imbibitor Lunae, and the Shackling Prison, housing many of the most dangerous criminals in the history of the Xianzhou Alliance, is in complete upheaval, but he still just fights as Dan Heng?

​@@generalerica4123 He doesn't fight as Dan Heng. His spear is already a bloody reaping weapon of destruction. His magic powers take up too much space, which is going to be problematic in the prison

​@@generalerica4123trauma 😔

@@adriantepes4355 This. And he's already leaving the imbibitor lunae stuff behind. So he doesnt need to turn into the elder power. Dan heng himself is already powerful.

U talking about Stelle eh?

You might talking about trailblazer. ​@@QSZ-o7o

​@@QSZ-o7oUmm i think he/she is talking about yunli:/

​@@QSZ-o7oNo..

@YDBHpoTheIllegal they're talking about Jingliu 😊

Xueyi is hsr Kenny Mccormick

@@Josh-qt5zi Oh yeah Xueyi can switch to another body I forgot.

Like still ipc being ipc why were those robot here anyway

@rhoem1353 ah yes same old sus Ipc still doing morally questionable thing

Thank God they didn't make this quest an entire braindead yapping with riddles from like they on the entire Penacony's entire questline.

​@@lokrj wdym you didn't like finding 1001 origami birds??

@@mimic8193 Hell, finding and listening to the origami birds talking might even be more interesting than listening to the Penacony's characters talking in riddles. God, if i were Caelus i would punch Sunday straight in the face and ask him to talk straight. This goes for most of this arc's characters too. The scenes between Acheron and that old guy too, like b*tch wtf are you guys even yapping about??? Most overrated story arc, Belobog is miles better. People were praising the Penacony's writer as if he's the 2nd coming William Shakespeare.

​@@lokrjIdk man maybe some people have good attention span and understands what the characters are saying. Well I'll have to agree with you on Sunday part he yapped a bit too much. God knows how many times he talked about the charmony dove story.

@@labibahhafiz7497 I have had my fair share of experience with games with visual novel style of storytelling, so I am accustomed to heavy dialogues. However, I find Penacony's writing style to be excessively vague and flowery. For instance, the introduction of Acheron as "something something" (certainly wasn't Emanator, forgot what it was) without any prior explanation or context is confusing and disorienting to the reader. Furthermore, the overall writing style assumes a level of prior knowledge and understanding from the reader that is not always present. While I appreciate the attempt to create a sense of mystery, the excessive use of riddles and obscure language can be frustrating and hinder the reader's comprehension of the story. (Damn I really wrote this whole essay just to get my point across, if only I could converse like this irl 💀)

Jingliu was the one that teach blade the sword so it's nothing like that unfortunately

Weapon forger is the only similarity between yunli and blade

@@Krunoxlvr oh ya, i forget that

Blade is quite fast if you didn't know already.

Dumb

Dumb

aye bro its alright man i mean i'm not a fan of gay ships but no need to call people dumb because they like it, c'mon man

​@@orangwaras465 ok bud go back to ur "waifus" 😭🙏

You mean DanStelle 😇

That’ll come later. Stuff like cutscenes and characters dialogue are posted first

Just play the game omg

She turned herself into a Cycrane, funniest sh!t ive ever seen

43z24 caught in 4k

Big wolf dudes are always hot

So it's not just me

this time we have jimmy mentoring him instead of hua tho

What? when in combat I hear his voice, wdym?

Thx goodness she can control her soul

Why would he be there he's a wanted criminal

Jingliu vs wolfie 1v1 cutscene when 😢

With the Stellaron Hunters.

Which one

The new filler arc

@@adriantepes4355 ty

TRUE!

I liked both honestly. Tho that's just me who likes riddles and such. Didn't even consider a bit of it 'yapping' as you call it. But i do understand your opinion and respect it.

@@armin614 Yeah i just wish the writer didn't rely too heavily on vague, flowery, and obscure words in their attempt to get the plot to feel "mysterious" and invoke suspense.

Better is an overstatement Since penacony is so good if u payed attention (which lets be real, almost all the people playing hoyo games have an attention span of a dolphin) More like it has much less yapping and it goes straight to the point faster than sundays yappery I wish more quests turns out on more of a straight-forward approach than going with the mystery and yapping bs in the future, which seems like it and also the cutscenes looks like they have better lighting

​@@lokrj Hoyoverse loves philosophy and stuff, if you don't like it then maybe you should not be playing the game

why sh*t?

These cutscenes are essential for understanding the story. Also, they don't even take that long.

@@RadzPogi They do take long, that's why i'd rather watch them when i have time while making progress in the event. There's a lot of dialogue.

​@@Kumire_921 Bro, in fact, I think the cutscenes are too short if you compare it to Genshin which has 4 minutes of cutscenes

@@neoz1493 Genshin is longer because 1/3 of the lines is paimon nonsense

And then we receive complaints in the Lore section of the official server claiming that HSR is way too confusing

Go outside, touch some grass, and speak to normal people.

TB: Welcome to the gang Yunli

I'm sorry, how did Yanqing get humbled? He just wanted his sword back! Yunli stole it from him in the first place!

@@EvelynL.1112 featuring yunli. He and yunli were both humbled by feixiao

@@Histerdcap Oh that, but Feixiao was just stopping them from seriously hurting each other. They didn't attack her or anything.

@@EvelynL.1112 yeah and that's humbling that a lady who didn't even try stopped 2 trainee sword masters with her fingies
