Trace Materials to Pre-Farm Cipher in Honkai: Star Rail

Previously noted, the acquisition of Cipher’s Traces necessitates a greater amount of Ethereal Omen, Echoing Wail, and Eternal Lament.

These materials are generally simple to obtain through farming, but if you’re running low, additional supplies can be acquired from the Store by spending Undying Embers. The following table details all the materials related to Cipher and Trace in Honkai: Star Rail.

If it’s not too much trouble, you can usually get these materials on your own, but if you find yourself needing more, there’s an option to buy some from the Store using Undying Embers. For your convenience, we’ve compiled a table with all the Cipher and Trace materials in Honkai: Star Rail.

Location of Cipher’s Materials in Honkai: Star Rail

Ascension Drops

Players have the option to harvest the “Stagnant Shadow: Shape of Gelidmoon” to acquire the material for Cipher’s Ascension, known as “Darkveil Moonlight.” Additionally, you can utilize the “Omni-Synthesizer” to swap other available materials in order to obtain the desired ones.

Trace Drops

Players can acquire the necessary Cipher’s Trace materials, namely Fiery Spirit, Starfire Essence, and Heaven Incinerator, by farming the Bud of Nihility (Alchemy Commission) from Calyx (Crimson). Alternatively, you can use the Omni-Synthesizer to swap other Materials for the ones you need, or purchase them directly from the Embers Exchange in the Store.

Mob Drops

For Cipher’s advancement, you’ll need three essential items: the Ethereal Omen, Echoing Wail, and Eternal Lament. You can acquire these items through:

  • Black Tide Creatures
  • Omni-Synthesizer 
  • Divergent Universe enemies
  • Simulated Universe enemies
  • Assignment Rewards
  • Sold by Embers Exchange
