Welcome, Trailblazers! If you’re diving into the exciting new world of Planarcadia in Honkai Star Rail 4.0, you’ve probably heard whispers of the mysterious Floating Grease Chronicles. This captivating game mode in Duomension City isn’t just another side activity – it’s a treasure trove of Stellar Jades and engaging puzzles that will test your platforming skills and puzzle-solving abilities.

Having spent countless hours exploring every corner of Planarcadia and mastering every Floating Grease puzzle, I’m here to share everything you need to know about this fantastic game mode. Whether you’re struggling with those tricky Origin Retrace Shiftmation puzzles or hunting for every last Floating Grease page, this guide has got you covered.

What Are Floating Grease Chronicles?

The Floating Grease Chronicles is a unique platformer-style game mode introduced in Honkai Star Rail 4.0, located within the mystical Duomension City in Planarcadia. Unlike traditional combat-focused content, this mode challenges players with environmental puzzles, precision platforming, and collection objectives that reward handsomely with Stellar Jades and exclusive achievements.

What makes this mode special is its blend of storytelling and gameplay. As you progress through the Floating Grease worlds, you’ll uncover the mysteries of ancient Benzaitengoku through surviving pages of the Floating Grease Chronicles – poetic works that have somehow endured through the ages. Each page not only advances the narrative but also brings you closer to completing the prestigious “A Land Called Arcadia” achievement.

How to Unlock Floating Grease Chronicles

Before you can dive into the Floating Grease Chronicles, you’ll need to unlock access to each world. The key to unlocking these mystical realms lies in collecting Imagenate Fragments – special items obtained by completing the Floating Grease Origin Retrace Shiftmation puzzles scattered throughout Planarcadia.

Understanding Imagenate Fragments

Imagenate Fragments are your golden tickets to accessing the Floating Grease Chronicles worlds. Each area in Planarcadia offers a different type of fragment, and you’ll need all of them to fully experience everything this game mode has to offer.

Here’s where you can find each type of Imagenate Fragment:

Area	Fragment Type	Number Required
Duomension City	Dual-Phase Winds Imagenate Fragments	4
Graphia Academy	Absent Moon Imagenate Fragments	4
Dovebrook District	Mass Cacophony Imagenate Fragments	4
“World’s End” Tavern	Gift of the Earth Imagenate Fragments	4

Once you’ve collected all fragments from an area, head back to the Floating Grease Chronicles hub in Duomension City to unlock that world’s content. Each unlocked world brings new challenges, more Stellar Jades, and additional pages of the Floating Grease Chronicles to discover.

Complete Puzzle Solutions: Floating Grease Origin Retrace Shiftmation

The Floating Grease Origin Retrace Shiftmation puzzles are the gateway to unlocking the Floating Grease Chronicles worlds. These clever environmental puzzles require you to manipulate gravity, paint platforms, and navigate complex spatial arrangements. Let me walk you through every puzzle solution I’ve discovered through extensive trial and error.

Duomension City Puzzle Solutions

Duomension City features four distinct puzzles, each rewarding you with Dual-Phase Winds Imagenate Fragments. These puzzles introduce you to the core mechanics of world rotation and platform painting.

Puzzle 1: The Rotating Path

Step 1: Rotate the world once by pressing Q and jump onto the left pedestal
Step 2: Navigate upward and reach the paint area on the right
Step 3: After reclaiming the paint, jump to the left and stand next to the monkey
Step 4: Rotate the world until you can access the left green paint from the bottom area
Step 5: Jump to the monkey again to claim your reward

Pro Tip: Timing is crucial here. Wait for the rotation animation to complete before making your next jump to avoid falling.

Puzzle 2: The Double Jump Challenge

Step 1: Rotate once by pressing E and jump to the platform on the right
Step 2: Double jump to the paint area on the left from your new position
Step 3: Jump onto the green platform on the left, then double jump to the blue area above
Step 4: Reclaim the second paint and reach the monkey to complete the puzzle

Advanced Strategy: Save your double jump for the final approach to the blue area – you’ll need maximum height to make this jump reliably.

Puzzle 3: The Quick Rotation

Step 1: Rotate the world by pressing E once
Step 2: Jump on the platform on the right to reach the paint area
Step 3: Simply grab the monkey on the left to complete the challenge

This puzzle seems simple, but the key is understanding that sometimes the most direct path is the best one.

Puzzle 4: The Complex Rotation

Step 1: Double jump on the left painted area from the initial spot
Step 2: After reclaiming the paint, rotate the world until you can access the upper platforms
Step 3: Reset the spin count on the fan and double jump to the painted platform on the right
Step 4: Rotate the world again to access higher areas
Step 5: Reach the monkey to claim your reward

Expert Tip: This puzzle requires precise timing with your rotations. Count the number of rotations needed to align platforms perfectly before making your moves.

Graphia Academy Puzzle Solutions

Graphia Academy presents four more challenging puzzles, each rewarding Absent Moon Imagenate Fragments. These puzzles build upon the mechanics learned in Duomension City but add new layers of complexity.

Puzzle 1: The Split Path

Step 1: Jump to the upper platform and navigate to the painted area on the right
Step 2: Return to the main platform and rotate the world twice
Step 3: Head up on the left to reclaim the second painted area
Step 4: Reach the bunny to complete the challenge

Strategy Note: The bunny in Graphia Academy puzzles serves the same function as the monkeys in Duomension City – they’re your goal markers.

Puzzle 2: The Vertical Challenge

Step 1: Double jump upwards to reach the first painted area
Step 2: Move to the right and rotate the world once using ‘Q’
Step 3: Jump up to the second painted area and reclaim it
Step 4: Double jump to the left to the third painted area
Step 5: Navigate to the bunny from the left side

Common Mistake: Many players try to rush this puzzle. Take your time with each painted area – rushing often leads to missed jumps.

Puzzle 3: The Trampoline Trick

Step 1: Rotate the world until you see the trampoline below and green platforms above
Step 2: Drop to the trampoline and double jump to reach the green platform
Step 3: Claim the painted areas on both the left and right sides
Step 4: Jump up to the bunny to complete the challenge

Pro Technique: Use the trampoline’s bounce to gain extra height for your double jump – this combination is essential for reaching higher platforms.

Puzzle 4: The Pillar Puzzle

Step 1: Drop down to the bottom area and navigate to the left of the shortest painted pillar
Step 2: Rotate the world until you see the raised platform
Step 3: Use the platform to double jump to the shortest painted pillar and reclaim it
Step 4: Move left to reclaim the other two painted areas
Step 5: Jump to the bunny above to complete the puzzle

Expert Strategy: This puzzle is all about understanding perspective. Sometimes what looks like the shortest path from one angle becomes the longest from another.
