Honkai Star Rail 1.2 mission walkthrough: For I Have Touched the Sky

The latest Honkai Star Rail 1.2 update rolled out with quite a bit of content, including new story quests, events, and new banner changes. The first half of the patch also brings in Yukong’s companion mission, allowing Trailblazers to familiarize themselves with her backstory. The mission kicks off when the Exalting Santum’s sky dome malfunctions, creating a state of emergency in the Xianzhou Luofu.

Xikui will task you with rescuing a Starskiff pilot that crashed in the Stargazer Navalia while fixing the dome, and the rest of the walkthrough follows the events after that. It is worth noting that you can access the quest only after completing the "A Dragon Gallant, Its Ocean Distant" Trailblaze Mission. This article will guide you through the entire For I Have Touched the Sky questline in Honkai Star Rail.
