There will be new Cavern of Corrosion and Stagnant Shadow stages, as well as a new Simulated Universe World in Honkai: Star Rail once Version 1.5 goes live on November 15, 2023. The Cavern of Corrosion and Stagnant Shadow stages will be available in the Xianzhou Luofu.
First off, the new Stagnant Shadow will be Shape of Perdition. In order to access it, you must have first completed the Stagnant Shadow Adventure Mission, as well as unlock the Fyxestroll Garden map on the Xianzhou Luofu. This will be a new map that will debut as part of the “A Foxian Tale of the Haunted” Trailblaze Continuance. You will get the Netherworld Token as a reward for beating the Shape of Perdition. Since this is Ascension material for Physical characters, you will likely need to farm this for Argenti, who will debut in the second half of Version 1.5.
As for the new Cavern of Corrosion, it is called Path of Darkness. You will find it in Fyxestroll Garden as well. Of course, a new Cavern of Corrosion means new Relics. The first Set is The Ashblazing Grand Duke. The 2-pc set effect is increasing follow-up DMG. Meanwhile, the 4-pc set will increase the user’s ATK by 6% every time a follow-up attack deals damage. The second Set is Prisoner in Deep Confinement. The 2-pc set increases ATK, and the 4-pc set will lower the enemy’s DEF for every DoT they have.
Finally, World 8 is available for players after completing the Oblation Obtained, Order Ordained Trailblaze Mission. You must also have first completed World 7. Yanqing will serve as the final boss in World 8. Once you defeat him (as well as the other bosses in World 8), you can get Planar Ornaments. The first new Set is Penacony, Land of the Dreams. This increases Energy Regeneration, as well as increases DMG for all allies with the same DMG type. The second Set is Firmament Frontline: Glamoth. This can increase ATK, and when the wearer’s SPD reaches a certain threshold, it will allow the user to deal more damage.
Honkai: Star Rail is readily available on the PS5, Windows PC, and mobile devices. The new Stagnant Shadow, Cavern of Corrosion, and Simulated Universe World will go live as permanent features on November 15, 2023 when Version 1.5 debuts.
