Honkai Star Rail Skott debate guide

One of the most annoying NPCs, Skott, is back in the Honkai Star Rail 2.4 update after making his debut in the Aurum Alley event, and this time he has brought in new troubles for the Xianzhou Luofu. So, during the Growls to Grace mission, players must intervene and win a debate against the character, preventing him from importing unlawful cargo.

As already implied, this negotiation is crucial to progress further into the Trailblaze Continuance, so you might want to know all the dialogue options beforehand instead of trial and error. Hence, here’s a quick guide to help you win the debate against Skott in Honkai Star Rail.

The Honkai Star Rail 2.4 update was officially rolled out on July 31, 2024, and it has introduced a new Trailblaze Continuance on the board. This mission series has summoned the Astral Express crew back to Xianzhou Luofu amid the Wardance ceremony.

Hence, every location of this floating flagship is heavily guarded to catch troublemakers like Skott, against whom you can win the debate by choosing the dialogue options below.

1. Use Yanqing's identity to intimidate him.
2. Pay you compensation? You wish!
3. It's time to escalate the issue!
4. The Xianzhou people are just following their own rules.

The rule for this debate is quite self-explanatory. You negotiate using strong arguments across four rounds to put Skott at a disadvantage and secure maximum morale. You can lose a point for picking the wrong dialogue, so be mindful while choosing the on-screen options.

That said, you can choose not to escalate this matter any further than the third round using the following dialogues:

1. Make proposals from the legal perspective.
2. The Sky-Faring Commission can pay compensation.
3. Try to resolve this according to Xianzhou regulations.

Regardless of whichever route you go, the outcome will remain the same, and Skott will surrender. This will also allow you to progress to the next segment of the Growls to Grace quest in Honkai Star Rail. Lingsha will appear on the scene to further investigate the cargo, prompting a cutscene.

This is when a Howling Casket will emerge to attack you, so make sure to have a team equipped in the first place to secure victory. The enemy is susceptible to Wind, Lightning, and Imaginary elements so pick characters accordingly.
