The Amphoreus story arc in Honkai Star Rail is expected to be extensive, spanning from version 3.0 to 3.7. Although the story has barely begun, fans are already developing numerous theories. While the theorists are at work, leakers are uncovering as much information as possible. A recent leak from Uncle Greekmilk has revealed significant spoilers concerning the Amphoreus storyline, including the creator of Amphoreus, Phainon’s potential roles, and the significance of Herta in Amphoreus. Here’s a summary of the leaks, along with added context based on existing knowledge.

This post contains major story spoilers for the Amphoreus arc in Honkai Star Rail. Only read if you wish to be spoiled.
Creator of Amphoreus Leaked
The most significant leak reveals the possible creator of Amphoreus. Currently, it’s known that Amphoreus is a hidden world in the Galaxy involving only two Aeons (as far as we know): Erudition and Remembrance. This world is so mysterious that even Akivili, the Aeon of Trailblazing, never ventured there. So far, only followers of Remembrance or Erudition have been aware of Amphoreus. As a result, there has been extensive speculation about the origin of this mysterious world.
The most effective method of uncovering the secrets of Amphoreus involves piecing together the lore fragments related to Cyrene and her connection to the Aeons of Erudition and Remembrance. By analyzing in-game dialogues, item descriptions, and character backstories, players can theorize about Cyrene’s involvement in the creation or manipulation of Amphoreus, potentially revealing the motivations and methods behind its formation.
The recent leak reveals that Cyrene is the true creator of Amphoreus. Cyrene has already appeared in Honkai Star Rail as Phainon’s childhood friend from Aedes Elysia. Phainon’s backstory indicates that everyone in his hometown perished due to the black tide, with a brief image showing Cyrene being struck by a sword.
Cyrene is expected to play a crucial role in Amphoreus, and the leaks suggest she’s more important than initially thought.
Multiple Monster Models for Phainon
Another leak reveals that Phainon has five different character models, including three monster forms. This suggests that Phainon will transform into a monster. Another recent leak indicated that Phainon would be the main boss in version 3.1 after transforming into a monster.
The last time the Trailblazer encountered Phainon, he was undergoing the trial of the Strife Titan. If the leaks are accurate, the trial did not go as planned, and Phainon either failed or couldn’t contain the Strife Titan’s coreflame.
The leak also mentions that Cyrene has at least three models, one of which is an NPC model. This suggests that Cyrene may appear sooner than expected as an interactable NPC.
Herta’s Role in Breaking the Amphoreus Cycle
Honkai Star Rail 3.0 began by featuring Herta on the banners. Typically, when a character appears on the first banner of a story arc version, they play a significant role in the story. However, Herta only made a brief appearance in the 3.0 Trailblazing mission after the main story in Amphoreus concluded. This has confused the community regarding Herta’s role in Amphoreus.
The recent leak indicates that Erudition is key to breaking the Amphoreus cycle, and that “Herta’s performance is worth looking forward to.” While it was known that Erudition played a major role in Amphoreus, the “key to breaking Amphoreus cycle” hints at a more significant role than anticipated. It seems Herta will soon enter Amphoreus and become a key character in the upcoming story arc.
These are the major story leaks for the Amphoreus arc in Honkai Star Rail. Whether you prefer to know in advance or discover as you play, the unfolding story promises to be captivating.
