How to Complete ‘I Once Was in Arcadia’ Quest?
Now that you have started the quest in Honkai Star Rail, here is how you can complete the I Once Was in Arcadia mission.
Part 1: Gather Information on Arcadia and Paris
Your investigation begins at the Soulchaser waypoint. After teleporting there, make your way north to locate the Furiae Archer. She will share information about a mysterious place called Arcadia. Next, head to the Marmoreal Market and speak with Demetria, Ctesiphona, Aphrea, and Aglaea to learn about both Arcadia and Paris. Finally, return to the Soulchaser waypoint where you’ll find the Furiae Archer unconscious. This interaction will trigger an important cutscene that advances the story.
Part 2: Free Furiae Archer and Paris from Prison
Now you will need to unlock the Castrum Kremnos prison by solving the Divinity Divine Statue puzzle. Here is how you can do it:
- Activate the First, Second and Third Divinity Device Statue: Stand before the first and second Divinity Divine statue and use Oronyx’s Prayer to rewind time and place the sword into the holder. To reach the third Divinity Divine statue, you will need to use the Hand of Zagreus to break the crates blocking the way. After that, simply stand before the third statue and use Oronyx’s prayer to place the sword into the holder.
- Activate Fourth Divinity Device Statue: For the final statue, the statue itself will be missing the sword holder. So, head to the last platform where you’ll encounter another Hand of Zagreus. This time, use it to lift the sword holder present nearby and place it at the bottom of the statue. Return to the Fourth Divine Statue and complete the sequence by using Oronyx’s Prayer to finish the puzzle.
After finishing the puzzle, an elevator will unlock at the center stage. Use it to get to the bottom, where you will find Paris and the Furiae Archer. Now, you will have to help them escape to Okhema by defeating the enemies blocking their way in Castrum Kremnos.
Part 3: Use the Prophecy Tablet to Restore Furiae Archer
After heading back to Okhema, you will need to complete a Prophecy tablet puzzle to restore the Furiae Archer.
Here’s the solution: first, move the block from the top left to the bottom right. Next, move the block from the top right to the bottom left. Finally, move the bottom block to the center position, allying with the top vertex. This will initiate a conversation with the Furiae Archer and Paris.
Final Part: The Resolution
What follows is a series of events that will bring the quest to its conclusion. You’ll first accompany Paris and the Furiae Archer on a tour, visiting the fruit shop, bookstore, and tailor’s shop. After these diversions, you’ll attend the Marmoreal Palace banquet, where events take a dramatic turn. You’ll need to use prayer to repair items broken by the Furiae Archer, then speak with either Paris or Philoc.
The story then builds to its climax as you find the Lone Furiae Archer on a roof, witness Paris’s plan, and ultimately face a crucial choice when fleeing Okhema with Paris.
Then you come across a scene where a different Furiae Archer attacks Okhema, making the netizen lower their guards before them. Choose “She is an intruder,” which leads to a battle with the false Furiae Archer. After defeating the different Titankins, Paris changes his decision to run away with the original Furiae archer, abandoning her to fight both the forces of Okhema and the Strife Ruins. This is where the memory ends and you exit to find the Furiae Archer passing away.
After speaking with the Furiae Archer one last time, you’ll need to return to the Okhema gates (teleport to Kephale Plaza) to give the golden thread to Lason and Aglaea, completing the mission.
