Cocona's Emo Dial in Envision a Rose Forthcoming quest of Honkai Star Rail

As mentioned, it is important to complete Honkai Star Rail's main story of Penacony first. Then, look for a message from the Penacony Luxury Goods, followed by a mission node for "Envision a Rose Forthcoming."

The first step requires you to consult with Cocona in Penacony, located in the Golden Hour. Reaching the spot should be simple enough, as the game will show you a blue quest mark.

After speaking with Cocona for the first time, follow the next quest to "Listen to what Clockie has to say." Doing so will unlock the step "Cocona's Emo Dial," which accepts one of the multiple Gear pieces found scattered throughout Penacony. You can choose to slot in any one of the Sad pieces you might have picked up in your journey.

The following section will show you the location of one of the Sad Gear pieces:
