Explanation of Honkai Star Rail Warp Trotters
Warp Trotters may be encountered on every map in HSR. When you reach Jarilo-VI, you’ll start to notice them, but keep an eye out because their white upper bodies can make them disappear into the snow. Anecdotally, I first became aware of them when I returned to the Herta Space Station since my Trailblazer level was too low to let me to continue the main quest.
Warp Trotters can be ambushed, so you must act quickly to engage them. If you approach them slowly, they will flee. Once engaged, they’ll show up among other opponents and turn Frightened, hiding in dread of the conflict taking place all around them.
Warp Trotters lose all of their weaknesses when they reach the Ready-to-Run state. They’ll leave the combat the following turn by slipping through a golden gateway. You must defeat a Warp Trotter before it escapes in order to “catch” it.
Places of Warp Trotters: Herta Space Station
In the Herta Space Station, there are three Warp Trotters.
- Base Zone: The Warp Trotter in this zone is found in the left corridor off of the main chamber.
- Storage Zone: Teleport to the leftmost Space Anchor. Go south, then head into the first set of rooms you come across.
- Supply Zone: Teleport the Space Anchor on the left side of the map. Go to the set of rooms where you find an Unearthly Marvel.
Warp Trotter Locations: Jarilo-VI
In Jarilo-various VI’s cities and snowscapes, eight Warp Trotters can be found.
- Outlying Snow Plains: This will be the first Warp Trotter you encounter after landing on the planet. It’s around the bend from the Space Anchor, hidden behind the rock outcrop on the right.
- Backwater Pass: You’ll be able to find this Warp Trotter in the corrupted area of Balobog after you progress through part of the main story. Use the Leisure Plaza Space Anchor in the center of the map then head south. Unlock the gate and ambush it.
- Silvermane Guard Restricted Zone: You’ll encounter the Warp Trotter near the Energy Construct you had to repair during the main story.
- Great Mine: You’ll find this Warp Trotter near the entrance of the Great Mine, as well as on your way out it during the main story. It’ll be in an offshoot of the previously sectioned off area.
- Corridor of Fading Echoes: Head southwest from the Space Anchor.
- Everwinter Hill: You’ll find the Warp Trotter on your way to the Cavern of Corrosion as you progress the main story.
- Rivet Town: Head to the Southeastern alleyways and take care to avoid the Formidable Foe that’s in the same area as the Warp Trotter.
- Robot Settlement: Look near Svarog and Clara in the Southeastern area of the Robot Settlement.
Warp Trotter Places – Xianzhou Luofu
There are a total of four Warp Trotters to be discovered on the Xianzhou Luofu.
- Cloudford: Head to the Northern Space Anchor then go down the top right corridor.
- Divination Commission: Head to where the Hexanexus puzzle is to find the Warp Trotter here.
- Artisanship Commission: While you can find the Warp Trotter in the Southeastern portion of the map, you’ll need to progress through the main story to gain access to the area.
- Stargazer Navalia: You won’t be able to access the locked room this Warp Trotter hides in during your first sweep of Stargazer Navalia. You’ll need to return to this section via the central Space Anchor the head East to unlock the door.
The Honkai Star Rail’s Warp Trotter sites as of right now are all listed above. New Warp Trotter locations might be found as more regions are added to the game or unlocked. As new information becomes available, we’ll update this list. Happy hunting in the interim.
