Summary
- Honkai: Star Rail players can now decorate the Astral Express with a TV, which they can also use to transform into Brother Hanu.
- Despite fan requests for customizable housing similar to Genshin Impact's Serenitea Pot, HoYoverse has yet to bring this feature to the game.
- The addition of the TV hints at possible future customization options for the Astral Express.
Honkai: Star Rail fans can acquire a special TV to decorate the Astral Express. The unique base is a cosmic train that houses the main characters of Honkai: Star Rail and serves as a hangout for the many companions that the Trailblazer meets throughout their adventure.
Since its launch just over a year ago, many Honkai: Star Rail fans have asked that HoYoverse add a housing feature, enabling customization of either the Astral Express Parlor Car or a separate room for the Trailblazer. Players want it to be similar to Genshin Impact's Serenitea Pot, in which players can decorate their indoor and outdoor spaces and allow other players to visit their homes. Despite these requests, HoYoverse has yet to bring a dedicated housing feature to Honkai: Star Rail.
Honkai: Star Rail Version 2.5 Leak Reveals Returning Character
A new Honkai: Star Rail Version 2.5 leak reveals that a beloved character may return in a future update, and the news may excite many fans.
Following the latest Honkai: Star Rail update, fans can add a television to the Astral Express, as pointed out by Reddit user PorkBeef0203. This mission item, simply called Television (Limited Edition), can be purchased from Graysen in Dreamflux Reef using two Golden Limited Aideen Tokens. It will then be sent to the Passenger Cabin, where the Trailblazer can use it to transform into Brother Hanu and visit the rooms of March 7th and Dan Heng. The TV is a regular sight around Penacony's Dreamscape, and by interacting with it, players can morph into the tiny cartoon character Brother Hanu to fit through obstacles and obtain special treasures.
How To Get The Brother Hanu TV For The Astral Express
- Complete specific Penacony side quests to acquire Golden Limited Aideen Tokens
- Look for Graysen in Dreamflux Reef
- Purchase Television (Limited Edition) for two Golden Limited Aideen Tokens
- Go back to the Astral Express and visit the Passenger Cabin to check out the TV (Earn "Astral Express Night Live" reward)
- Use the TV to morph into Brother Hanu and enter the rooms of March 7th and Dan Heng (Earn "The Invisible Guest" reward)
Based on the comments, many Honkai: Star Rail fans didn't know that they could buy a TV for the Astral Express. A number of them also thanked the author of the post for the information, because adding the piece of furniture to the Express earns players two rewards after acquiring and using the TV, which also includes Stellar Jades.
Although it's a simple decoration for the Astral Express, the addition of the TV is a big deal to many players as it shows that it's possible to buy items to personalize the train. The Brother Hanu TV is also a unique souvenir from Penacony, which has become meaningful to many players following the story's conclusion in the most recent patch. Perhaps this could be a sign that Honkai: Star Rail will slowly allow players to acquire items from different worlds to decorate the Astral Express. This would be a great way to journal the Trailblazer's journey apart from collecting guestbook signatures from the game's companions.
