The cosmic journey through Amphoreus takes a haunting turn as Honkai: Star Rail unveils a fragmented lunar landscape in Version 3.2. Leaked visuals reveal a shattered moon hovering above a sea of indigo flora, its craters bleeding crystalline water into the atmosphere. This surreal environment appears intrinsically tied to Castorice, the Quantum-aligned S-Rank character whose connection to Thanatos – Amphoreus’ Titan of Death – has loomed over the storyline since Version 3.0. With eerie floating gateways and gravity-defying terrain, this zone promises to challenge both navigation skills and narrative expectations.

Castorice’s Domain: Where Death Meets Divinity

Early datamines suggest this area serves as a physical manifestation of Castorice’s conflicted identity. As Thanatos’ chosen harbinger, her gameplay kit reportedly revolves around sacrificial mechanics – draining allies’ HP to amplify her own damage output. The leak’s environmental details support this theme:

  • Floating obsidian monoliths etched with funerary inscriptions

  • Spectral butterflies swarming around crumbling altars

  • Interactive objects labeled “Offering Pedestals” in game files

Could this zone double as a trial ground for her unique playstyle? Beta testers speculate about combat arenas that reward risky HP management strategies.

Amphoreus Expands: Six Cities and Beyond

While Janusopolis’ steampunk aesthetics and Castrum Kremnos’ volcanic forges captivated players earlier, this lunar fragment introduces something… older. Its architectural remnants bear markings from none of Amphoreus’ six established civilizations. Community theories run wild:

  1. Pre-Titanic civilization ruins

  2. Physical plane of the Emanators

  3. Thanatos’ sealed prison dimension

New S-Rank Duo: Castorice & Anaxa

Version 3.2 doesn’t stop at environmental storytelling. Alongside the death-themed DPS Castorice comes Anaxa – a Wind Erudition specialist rumored to manipulate battlefield positioning. Leaked skill animations show:

  • Tornadoes rearranging enemy formations

  • A ultimate resembling a wind tunnel that pulls foes into AoE zones

  • Synergy with existing pull/push mechanics from characters like Silver Wolf

Collaboration Whispers: Fate/Stay Night on the Horizon?

While Version 3.4 remains months away, dataminers found texture files referencing:

  • 『Unlimited Blade Works』 particle effects

  • Excalibur-inspired light cones

  • Saber-altered character model skeletons

Though unconfirmed, this lines up with HoYoverse’s pattern of major crossovers during anniversary periods.
