HSR 3.0 Golden Epic Trailer Lore Analysis & Discussion | Honkai Star Rail Lore

The first trailer for honkai star rail 3.0 just dropped, the golden epic trailer and has a bunch of interesting information on amphoreus, new characters like herta and aglaea and even the main trailblaze quest. In this video we're going to discuss the details of that trailer and do a lore analysis to figure out what we can expect in 3.0

Some part of this video comes from the actual lore while others may be speculation on my part as we currently do not know the full story. As such take it with a grain of salt as the point of this video is just a deeper dive into Honkai Star Rail lore.

When they used the gold blood imagery I got really scared because I have a bad feeling Nanook is going to be involved

This trailer reflects the Elysian Realm from HI3rd, a truly tragic story. But the girl named “Cyrene” has assured us THIS story will be more romantic compared to the last. Elysia herself loved humanity and wanted to save them, but was unable to save her Era and could only affect the next cycle, so perhaps the Trailblazer will allow this group of Flame-Chasers to truly become heroes and save their world, or perhaps it has already ended and we are remembering these heroes and that is why we have the Rememberance path. After all, the truth of the thirteen as Elysia tells us is they are people who never became heroes, they had an unfinished journey, and is buried by time. Then she simply tells us to be a witness to their prideful lives to the end.

Let's not Forget that the History Fictionoligists are supposed to be there as well so a decent amount of the Lore can/should be hidden away

The Black Tide could be Nihility, or it could be the Stellarons. A lot of the imagery reminded me of Deshret unleashing the corruption of Forbidden Knowledge in Genshin, and in Star Rail the closest match to Abyssal corruption is the "cancer of all worlds". Just my early impression from the trailer.

[NimuraFuruta]

For me, it seems that the order has a part to play in this story.
Not only do we see the eyes that are very similar if not identical to order, but we also see hands that look like that of a manikin's, similar to Ene.
We also know that a lot of the planets that followed the order fell due to inner conflict, much like amphoreus did. It also proves more since it was said that the world was originally in chaos before the titans appeared. What's the opposite of chaos? Order, so it would make sense why Ene cast her gaze upon the planet.
So I think the titans were either creations of Ene sent to bring order or they where eminators of the order.
I also think that the flamechasers are very similar to the ten stonehearts. A cornerstone holds a portion of an eminators power since a core flame contains the titan's powers. I think they are the Orders equivalent of the cornerstones.
Also in the trailer we see a hand playing chess, I think the villain of the story might be a follower of the order & is manipulating events in order to bring about perfect Order, very similar to Annatar/Sauron if you will.
So I think the order will be one of the three paths fighting for dominance on Amphoreus, alongsideside Rememberance and?
I have no idea about the third path, we do see Herta is getting involved so I geuss the erudition?

If the girl at the end of the trailer is really HSR's Elysia, then is highly possible that each heir is one of the 13 Flame Chasers from Impact 3rd. Some of them remind me of Su, Kevin and Kozma, and Aglaea is, to me at least, either Aponia or Eden

[Leoyuy]

You can see the lore of herrscher of corruption she also acts forbidden knowledge but she corrupts in a large number and also during er arc elysia defeated her with 13 flamechasers

[Tubelife]

Yeah from what everyone who's played HI3 has said this story looks to be somewhat mirroring the Elysian Realm arc (Chapters 29-31). You hear flame chase a lot in the trailer mirroring the "Flame Chasers" of the Elysian Realm. For those who watched the trailer in JP the narrator is the same VA for Aponia, while our lovely Elysia is the final frame of the trailer. For those of you who've played HI3. The prophecy is indeed interesting "The Nameless King will go on a grand mission of Deliverance". If you remember, Kevin's signet in the Elysian Realm is Deliverance. 🤔

6:55 - Kalpas
7:15 - Su(most likely)
7:22 - This one I'm not sure of(Sakura maybe)
7:34 - Aglaea who is probably HSR Aponia
8:46 - Kevin(most likely)
We do see Pardofelis, Griseo, and Elysia though there are some that are blacked out. There may also be just completely new characters.

[awesome]

One can not forget about the complex number Re^(itheta) and how IX will most likely have a substantial impact on Amphoreus’s lore. This is because of the angular variable theta that when occurs when one rotates a concept aka multiplication of imaginary numbers. Because Amphoreus will delve within Greek mythology, it will most likely delve into specific constants and variables such as pi (paimon) and theta (Thanatos) and i (imaginary). These three things all relate with the theory of transcending boundaries which goes above and beyond ascension. Transcending involves authority over the complex plane; whereas, ascending involves authority over only the imaginary tree. Imagine being able to manipulate both imaginary and real numbers. Since the expression theta= pi, e^(ipi)=-1, theta and pi will go more in depth regarding losses and negativity.

Another reason why I think the trailblazer is unlocking the rememberance path early on in Amphoreus’s arc is because they will soon unlock the path of nihility. Acheron has already planted the seeds of doubt within the trailblazer’s mind and the theta within the trailblazer will soon manifest. There is no coincidence that mem resembles paimon; mem symbolizes the Greek constant pi symbolizing the trailblazer’s circular journey and a decaying sense of meaning.

"But it will ultimately drag this video out further"

Bruh, that's exactly what we want. Your lore analysis goes beyond your typical "covering what only exists in the game" and goes into a very educated speculative discussion that really hypes us up without venturing into the absurd.

Seriously though. Thanks for these vids and hope you do more!

[RedCoreX]

3.0 feels like the story of the Elysian realm but instead of being told from the future we seem to be experiencing it first hand and influencing the outcome

The darkness and the eyes felt like a nod to Hi3 current era Herrscher of corruption.

Ampherous as a planet also felt a lot similar to Hi3 earth where both worlds were hidden from the rest of the universe by some unknown reason (in Hi3 case it's the Cocoon) and the Trailblaze never arriving there

[kenkaneki]

I feel like this entire story will mirror the Elysian Realm the parallels are too obvious.

You should dive into HI3 my guy!

"Say...my name
When a tree...susurrates
Once and again telling a story lost in time
The way it starts and the way it ends..."

I just realized there are 13 characters this patch that means there could be 7 characters for the fate collab so there would be 20 characters in this patch like 2.0 to 2.7

[liaartist]

The three faced could be a goddess and not an aeon in the first place. Hecate, the greek goddess of magic, was also called three faced goddess, for example

[samuelsalvatore]

not only does the trailer has a ton of eyes, but also here 4:20 we see mechanical hands grabbing the people, ena also has mechanical hands. so i believe it's pretty safe to assume that ena is somehow related to amphoreus, perhaps ena's death somehow affected this planet.

[xaviermartinezcanamero]

Maybe the three faced ones are actually the Trailblazers, the three faced one may actually be Hecate, a three faced goddess, that was also the goddess of paths and their crossing

[awesome]

You know how the trailer says “A new venture in the eighth day”, based on natural progression, it was presumed that on the ninth day, there will be theta for Penacony. The ninth, tragic day of Penacony would likely be a trailblaze continuance mission after the amphoreus arc and will feature nihility’s carnage and infiltration of penacony forever rotating the fractured dream. There are a lot of signs from the progression of the days of penacony to the paimon “pi” analogy of mem, the emphasis of rotation and imaginary numbers being related to the Greek symbol theta both representing angular quantities and nine, and Acheron’s visit introducing nihility to penacony. Whenever the ninth day of penacony arrives, it will be massive.

[AokiVN]

But if the word from a certain pink woman is true
Amphoreus will be a romantic story

[electroneurons]

Honestly im pretty interested in the planet's environment (i am not about to type its name because its hard) is it gonna be mostly in ruins or is it gonna be like Penacony (where we get some normal looking places and some being completely distorted or somewhat in ruins), i can't wait to see what hoyo is cooking in 3.0
