Honkai Star Rail: How To Reach Equilibrium Level 2

Honkai Star Rail’s Equilibrium Level 2 marks one of your first in-game progression checkpoints. It’s one of the Universal Equilibrium quests that, once completed, raises your world level, letting you face stronger opponents but get better rewards in return. As such, this is a crucial quest that you should preferably do as soon as it’s available in your logs.

How To Reach Honkai Star Rail Equilibrium Level 2?

• Like with Equilibrium Level 1, you can reach Equilibrium Level 2 after completing the Trial of the Equilibrium quest. Specifically, it’s the second part of Honkai Star Rail.
• To do that, you’ll need to head onto the Corridor of the Fading Echoes, and starting from the Silvermane Guard Restricted Zone, you can find the Trial’s portal to your right beyond the narrow pathway indicated by the orange star icon.

Now, as you venture into the Trial with your best characters and Light Cones, you’ll encounter the first enemy battle led by a Level 39 Guardian atop the staircase in front.

• • Once that battle concludes, you can proceed ahead until you face the Level 39 Stormbringer, which is arguably a little less difficult than the previous Guardian battle.
  • After killing the Stormbringer, players will immediately see the Trial’s completion screen, followed by some rewards, which include:
    1. 45x Stellar Jade
    2. 3x Condensed Aether
    3. 3x Adventure Log
    4. 5000x Credits

Finally, they’ll be teleported outside the Trial, with their Equilibrium advanced to Level 2, and the Stagnant Shadow Teleportation activated.

How Does Honkai Star Rail Equilibrium Level 2 Affect The World?

Other than making enemies more difficult and making drop rates more generous, progressing to Equilibrium Level 2 also allows you to build your characters further. You can level up your gear and characters with better loot and use them to challenge stronger foes.

• The upgradability benefits include a new soft cap for ascending characters and Light Cones to Level 50 from Level 40.
• This means players now have the option to use their resources to boost their top-tier characters and attachments to make a reliable and extremely powerful team comp in Honkai Star Rail.
• And as mentioned, the “Stagnant Shadow” events are now also accessible, allowing for further character and Light Cone Ascension with more materials.
• In terms of in-game progression, reaching Equilibrium Level 20 unlocks several new quests that you can view in your quest log and activate to explore the world further on.
• Besides that, the max technique points are also increased from 4 to 5, allowing me another instance of skill application at a time.

• • One noteworthy thing to mention, however, is that, unlike Genshin Impact, players can’t drop their Equilibrium or world to a lower level in Honkai Star Rail to balance out any difficulty kinks.
  • As such, it’s important to have a properly built team with maxed-out items before progressing any further.
  • Fortunately, the Equilibrium Level jump from 1 to 2 isn’t as nearly as intimidating as the others yet to come, so managing hordes of enemies will still feel manageable.
