@@Chenexas Idk man guess i got so invested in story (which is pretty good btw) that i completely forgot about relics I only upgraded characters levels and lightcones when i struggled lmao Luckily that was few months ago and now i have decently build characters
@@pixelowyy_5812 My dude, I didn't even know it was possible to get that far into the story without getting relics. That's insane. You either had a stacked character lineup or were playing 5D chess during combat. Some of the bosses I fought before penacony with fully built characters felt a bit challenging.
Same lol it took me till 1.6 to find that out(tbf I did most of the patches in within 3 weeks so it was still a surprise I had no idea why I had to try so hard to beat battles until he realized the relics part lol)
Me discovering my characters still have 3-4* barelly leveled up relics with trash stats somewhere around Penacony. And I was wondering why am I struggling and doing way less damage than I'm used to... In my defense I hate artifact/relic grinding, it's the worst part of the game, I got pretty good lightcones and unlocked as many traces as I could. So I was fine for most of the game. Now I'm slowly trying to fix this mess and get good 5* sets for everyone.
if you were doing MoC it's completely understandable, especially floor12, which I myself barely cleared with 2 stars lmao (with actually decent relics and a lot of signature LCs)
@Chenexas WTF IS SHE EVEN DOING THERE Like devs give us all those questions like "who planted the Stellaron?", "why Sanctus Medicus rose up again?" And they give us possible answers. And then they yank it from under our feet and be like "HAHA! it was Phantylia all along!" Yeah, Phantylia. A character we meet the second plot twist happens. She wasn't even foreshadowed UGH I'M SO MAD ABOUT THIS PLOT TWIST-
I never include the 2.5 quest, as I do it the same way every other challenge run creator would do it - only complete the main story and do other quests if necessary :)
thats fair, sorry if it got to you 😥 I have played through the story so much I find everything kinda boring by now, but at that moment I really felt like throwing a shot at the Loufu, and don't worry I attack Penacony too for dragging on for so long :^)
@@Chenexas hahaha, i didnt mean it to come out as hate since its completely understandable and okay to have a negative opinion about it. (I said "i will tolerate the hate" btw)
it also feels like y'know when u go tto the events thing, even if you know nothing about the story in the xianxhou, you can see the pretty march 7th spoilerrrrr
@@Chenexas Boothill is incredibly strong and doesn't need a lightcone lmao. I remember seeing a 0 cycle somewhere where Boothill didn't have a lightcone and still completely shredded everything. Edit: it was SleepyInsomniac who did that run. But they did use relics so it might be kinda up in the air.
dude im about to be angry ik ur the host of this but dude please u wanted this song to go and ik we can listen to this song on youtube but i swear it was funny when u went on about turning up the song not caring but i feel like u would be that person at an opera yapping about how good it would sound or how u might not like it XD
This is a great concept, but I would've enjoyed this video more if it wasn't so negative. Idk, the general vibe is just unfun and unpleasant. I couldn't get through the whole thing
that's fair enough, although was it the live commentary where I was practically whispering or something else? because I've decided that I should not put live commentary if I'm speaking so quietly
Honkai: Star Rail really needs a skip button. Most of the stories can take hours of time to finish. Kind of annoying for some who just want to play the game.
Makes sense that they want you to actually experience the story and lore of a role-playing game. Especially when the story is absolutely worth experiencing. If gameplay is all you care about, maybe play a hack and slash instead?
I don't disagree with you, the story is wonderful, but so is the gameplay and the characters, also I have played through the story a number of times, a skip button would be wonderful, plus I love the gameplay HSR has, and I love the characters even more than anything in the game, ofc hack and slash also has great gameplay (i mean Devil May Cry5)
with how shit my relics are, im practically doing this already
lmaoo just keep on grinding, one day the good relics will come :D
@@Chenexas hope watching the vid gave me some luck🙏🙏
I find more doable a "no lightcone" challenge
thats an interesting challenge idea... 🤔

@@Chenexas I want him too :3333
22:40 dang a himeko would have gone hard with the fire comp you kinda had going
true, but oh well Yanqing's light cone was better for me according to the game :D
underrated ahhhhh creator
thank you so much! ❤❤
I enjoyed this video!!!
(Did you know you can skip the fight with Argenti in Penacony?)
thank you so much! ❤❤
and yes, I did that in my next video, one of my amazing subscribers taught me how to :D
Why do these characters doing more dmg than my characters WITH relics 😭
bro what 😭😭 please tell me youre joking lmao
so doing what caleb is doing with his acount (caleb is male mc's VA)
ohh yeah lol wasn't he like running 3 star relics on his characters? :P
@@Chenexas and the imfamous GREEN RELICS lol
man is insaneeeeee
good job 👍👍👍
thank you so much! ❤ I didn't think I'd ever pull this off :D
@@Chenexas hehehe you're welcome! pure skill frfr ;DD
I played with unleveled green and blue relics all the way till the penacony boat...
not the green relics😭 but that is also impressive!!
Are you Caleb yen in disguise?
Respect for trying the game from scratch, but the most I was willing to try is with LC and Eidolons on MoC, and that was seriously unfun as is already
if you were doing MoC it's completely understandable, especially floor12, which I myself barely cleared with 2 stars lmao (with actually decent relics and a lot of signature LCs)
that without relics is just not worth the amount of braincells you would lose lol
@Chenexas Absolutely, pretty sure I only managed it with the help of multiple E2s, and even then it was still RNG hell
7:06 so real fr
first associations what can I say :d
5:29 - me when Phantylia showed up out of freaking nowhere(i hate this plot twist)
they realized that it was too late to properly introduce the big villain lol
@Chenexas WTF IS SHE EVEN DOING THERE
Like devs give us all those questions like "who planted the Stellaron?", "why Sanctus Medicus rose up again?" And they give us possible answers.
And then they yank it from under our feet and be like "HAHA! it was Phantylia all along!"
Yeah, Phantylia. A character we meet the second plot twist happens. She wasn't even foreshadowed UGH I'M SO MAD ABOUT THIS PLOT TWIST-
by the way the enemy attacks cant hit you if you look at your phone just before they attack
thats interesting, I should try that in my next run...
very underrated
thanks a lot! ❤
ts makes me grateful for my flat attacl relics
flat attack is always better than flat defense tho!!
@Chenexas so do u not include 2.5 for any reason for this one
I never include the 2.5 quest, as I do it the same way every other challenge run creator would do it - only complete the main story and do other quests if necessary :)
Fun fact, I didn’t know forgotten hall was a thing or know that you could get 5 star relics easily until level 50…
I mean level 50 is not too bad, I know people who didn't know about relics until level 60+ :D
I practically did do this challenge on my first playthough! The trick is pull Boothill lmao
istg Boothill needs no equipment lol
Great video
thank you so much!! ❤️❤️
my characters basically had no relics until i got acheron i found out about building
I mean at least you Acheron wasn't relicless! what level were you tho when you got her?
@@Chenexas i had my characters at level 60 when i got her
Idk if you know this or not but yoh can skip the argenti boss in Penacony if you select the correct dialog options.
GG, man. It must've taken sooooooo long with everyone at basically zero crits ahahahhaha
22 hours actually :D but yeah fights took ages lol
BLADE RERUN BLADE RERUN PLEASEEEEEE
May a 4 promotional characters banner with Sunday, i know Honkai want to sell so much with him
one day we will get it :D
5:10 ☠☠a lot of people
7:09 💀💀
I really had to!
10:29 she's squinting in annoyance
still gorgeous tho
2:03 yo wtf? I wish I got those insane rewards
I got back in the game like a day after it ended…
oof... yeah maybe another time, its possible :)
Nah this would make farming less painful 😂😂
it would, but you would also have way too much trailblaze power :D
Just pre farm traces by this point lmaooo
damn you couldn’ve started earlier and get feixiao, this challenge would’ve been so much easier
Have fun criting!
can't wait to crit with my 5% crit rate!
banger video
thank you so much! ❤️❤️
OKAY, what with the xianzhou hate?! With the new story, its honestly my fav planet thingy. As a luofu lover, i WILL tolerate the hate towards it
Even before the newer stories I still never got the Xianzhou hate
thats fair, sorry if it got to you 😥 I have played through the story so much I find everything kinda boring by now, but at that moment I really felt like throwing a shot at the Loufu, and don't worry I attack Penacony too for dragging on for so long :^)
@@Chenexas hahaha, i didnt mean it to come out as hate since its completely understandable and okay to have a negative opinion about it. (I said "i will tolerate the hate" btw)
omaygyatt I think the harmony mc thing is so stewpeed I think they shouldn't have changed the mc coming after the sunday thing
it also feels like y'know when u go tto the events thing, even if you know nothing about the story in the xianxhou, you can see the pretty march 7th spoilerrrrr
also the xianzhou event thinge the new puzzle one is just Suppoyeleirrireee just make the event visible after you finito the questito idk
I like your video. Please dont touch kids
thank you, and the last part is not happening, dont worry lmao
Yes lmao, just pull Boothill to unlock easy mode.
All you gotta do now is keep him alive somehow
yeah Boothill doesnt need a lightcone right?
@@Chenexas Boothill is incredibly strong and doesn't need a lightcone lmao.
I remember seeing a 0 cycle somewhere where Boothill didn't have a lightcone and still completely shredded everything.
Edit: it was SleepyInsomniac who did that run. But they did use relics so it might be kinda up in the air.
You say Caelus like the 'Kay" of "Okay" and then add "less". so its not Gayless...
Gayless sounds funny though,,,
23:05 doctor your HUGE
in both ways!
Okay this is really interesting and ive thought about if this is posible- im enabling the bell rn
thank youu! well complete endgame is definitely not possible without relics, but the main story for sure is :D

Honkai: Star Rail really needs a skip button. Most of the stories can take hours of time to finish. Kind of annoying for some who just want to play the game.
exactly!! but if they did that then the game could be finished in like 6 hours so they gotta stretch it lmfao
@@Chenexas True. Though when got multiple accounts and went through it once. It would be nice just to be able to have the option.
