HSR 3.4 Girl Once Known as ‘Mem’: Complete Mission Walkthrough

Prerequisites and Starting the Quest

Before diving into Cyrene’s mini-games, you’ll need to complete the main Trailblazing mission for version 3.4. This unlocks Aedes Elysia as an explorable area. Once you’ve finished the story content, head to the western side of the map where you’ll find Cyrene waiting near the Sacramental Courtyard.

When you first interact with her, she’ll reconfirm that she’s Mem (in case the title didn’t give it away) and make a charming meta-comment about waiting for the next game version. This interaction marks her on your map as “Girl Once Known as ‘Mem’?” – note that this appears as a map marker rather than a traditional mission in your quest log.

All 10 Mini-Games in Aedes Elysia

I’ve organized these mini-games in the order I completed them, though you can tackle most of them in any sequence you prefer. Each activity unlocks new dialogue options with Cyrene, building your relationship step by step.

1. Accept Flower From Cyrene

Location: Sacramental Courtyard
Difficulty: ★☆☆☆☆

Your first interaction is the simplest but perhaps the sweetest. When you find Cyrene in the Sacramental Courtyard, she’ll offer you a flower. Accept it to unlock your first bonding moment. This sets the tone for the entire questline – small, meaningful gestures that build into something greater.

Pro tip: After accepting the flower, take a moment to appreciate the subtle animation details. The developers put extra care into these romantic moments.

2. Little Chimera

Location: Near Cyrene’s resting spot
Difficulty: ★★☆☆☆

You’ll spot a adorable Little Chimera hanging around Cyrene’s usual waiting place. Here’s what to do:

1. Interact with the Chimera to make it disappear
2. Return to Cyrene’s resting spot
3. Find the Chimera waiting there
4. Interact with it again
5. Choose a name from the options Cyrene provides

The naming choices are all equally charming, so pick whichever resonates with you. Completing this earns you the “Kidnapping for Purchase” achievement – don’t worry, it’s much more wholesome than it sounds!

3. Investigate the Blocked Road

Location: Left of the Little Chimera area
Difficulty: ★☆☆☆☆

Moving further left from where you found the chimera, you’ll discover a road blocked by sacks and miscellaneous items. Investigating triggers a special event:

1. Examine the blocked road
2. A Droma appears (these are the local creatures)
3. Complete the conversation
4. Ride the Droma with Cyrene

This mini-game rewards you with the “Jurassic Garden” achievement and creates one of the most memorable romantic moments in the questline. The animation of riding together through Aedes Elysia is genuinely touching.

4. Two Seals

Location: Pool near Cyrene’s swing & Docking pier
Difficulty: ★★★☆☆

This mini-game requires a bit more legwork:

1. Find the Solitary Leopard seal in the pool where Cyrene waits
2. Talk to it – it’ll request a challenger
3. Travel to the docking pier next to the Old Garmentmaker
4. Locate the Lonely Leopard seal
5. Convince it to challenge the Solitary Leopard
6. Return to witness their interaction

Navigation tip: The docking pier is on the eastern side of Aedes Elysia. Look for the merchant stalls near the water.

5. Speak with Cyrene Sitting near the Water

Location: Pier edge
Difficulty: ★☆☆☆☆
Note: Time-sensitive spawn

Sometimes you’ll find Cyrene sitting on the pier’s edge, her feet dangling as she gazes at the ocean. This isn’t always available, so check periodically:

1. Approach Cyrene at the pier
2. Engage in conversation
3. Check the water’s reflection (important story element!)
4. Complete all dialogue options

The reflection scene contains subtle foreshadowing about Cyrene’s true nature and her connection to the broader Amphoreus storyline. If you’re familiar with Honkai Impact 3rd’s Elysia, you’ll spot the parallels immediately.

6. Sleeping Cyrene

Location: Table near the Chimera
Difficulty: ★☆☆☆☆
Note: Time-sensitive spawn

Another conditional encounter – occasionally Cyrene will be sleeping with her head on the table. You have two choices:

• Wake her up: Triggers a slightly embarrassed but sweet interaction
• Wait for her to wake: Results in a more contemplative dialogue

Both options are valid and provide different character insights. I recommend saving before this choice and experiencing both if you’re a completionist like me.

7. Ring the Bell

Location: Left of Sacramental Courtyard
Difficulty: ★★☆☆☆

This is one of the more interactive mini-games:

1. Find the bell left of the Sacramental Courtyard
2. Attack it to ring it (any attack works)
3. A Droma appears on the building roof
4. Cyrene explains it’s one of her summoning spells
5. Continue ringing to summon different creatures
6. Keep going until the scenario completes

Combat tip: Use a ranged character for easier bell ringing. Check our HSR Tier List to see which characters work best for exploration.

8. Speak with Cyrene Next to Sacramental Courtyard Anchor Point

Location: Sacramental Courtyard Space Anchor
Difficulty: ★☆☆☆☆
Note: Time-sensitive spawn

Sometimes Cyrene appears right next to the Space Anchor, talking to the Little Chimera about growing up quickly. Simply exhaust all dialogue options to complete this heartwarming interaction.

9. Plant the Flower Seeds

Location: Membrance Maze & Sacramental Courtyard
Difficulty: ★★★★☆

This is the most involved mini-game:

1. Travel to the Membrance Maze entrance
2. Find the yellow flower buds (they glow slightly)
3. Collect the seeds
4. Return to Sacramental Courtyard
5. Plant seeds in ALL flower pots:
   • Ground floor pots (3-4 locations)
   • Upstairs pots (don’t miss these!)
   • Hidden pot behind the building

Easy-to-miss tip: There’s a flower pot on the second floor balcony that many players overlook. Make sure to check every room!

10. Sleep near Membrance Maze Entrance

Location: Membrance Maze entrance
Difficulty: ★☆☆☆☆

The final mini-game is near the Membrance Maze entrance:

1. Look for the ‘Sleep’ interaction prompt
2. Select it to trigger a dream sequence
3. Complete all conversations

This mini-game provides crucial lore about Cyrene’s past and her connection to the Amphoreus arc.

Choosing Your Interactions with Cyrene

After completing each mini-game, return to Cyrene for new interaction options. You’ll face a choice between:

“I Want to do Something Meaningful”

• Head into the Membrance Maze together
• Play Hide and Seek
• Take photos with Cyrene
• Go fishing together

“We Could Hang Around and Get to Know This Place Better”

• Lie on the balcony watching windmills
• Walk through the wheat fields
• Enjoy Aedes Elysia’s scenery from rooftops
• Stargaze together

Both paths offer unique dialogue and moments. The “meaningful” activities tend to be more active and playful, while “hanging around” options are more contemplative and romantic. You’ll need to complete all eight interactions (four from each category) to unlock the final mission.

Unlocking ‘Ripples Destined to Rise Again’

Once you’ve completed all 10 mini-games and 8 Cyrene interactions, you’ll automatically unlock the secret mission ‘Ripples Destined to Rise Again’. This final quest:

1. Provides closure to Cyrene’s storyline in Aedes Elysia
2. Reveals important lore connections to the main story
3. Unlocks the ability to ring Phainon’s house bell
4. Awards additional Memory Crystal Shards

The mission itself is relatively short but emotionally impactful. Without spoiling the details, it connects Cyrene’s past with Phainon’s destiny as the Deliverer and sets up future story developments.

Tips and Strategies for Efficient Completion

Time-Sensitive Activities

Some mini-games only appear at certain times or after completing specific activities. Here’s my recommended approach:

1. Complete all fixed mini-games first (1, 2, 3, 4, 7, 9, 10)
2. Check spawn locations between other activities
3. Use the Space Anchor to quickly reset the area
4. Change between day/night if spawns seem stuck

Navigation Shortcuts

• Use photo mode to scout for hard-to-find elements
• The bell near Sacramental Courtyard has the best view of the village
• Membrance Maze entrance is northeast of the main village area

Managing Your Choices

While dialogue choices don’t affect rewards, they do impact the emotional tone of interactions. If you’re invested in the story, I recommend:

• Choosing options that align with Cyrene’s romantic nature
• Taking screenshots during key moments (the photo mode is perfect here)
• Reading all dialogue carefully – there’s significant foreshadowing

Common Issues and Solutions

“I can’t find Cyrene at certain locations”

Solution: Some appearances are RNG-based. Try:

• Teleporting away and returning
• Completing other mini-games first
• Changing the in-game time

“The flower pots won’t let me plant”

Solution: Ensure you:

• Collected seeds from Membrance Maze first
• Are interacting with empty pots
• Haven’t missed any pots (especially upstairs)

“The bell at Phainon’s house still won’t ring”

Solution: You must:

• Complete ALL mini-games
• Finish ALL 8 Cyrene interactions
• Complete the ‘Ripples Destined to Rise Again’ mission

“I missed some dialogue/want to replay”

Solution: Unfortunately, these are one-time interactions. Consider:

• Watching recordings on YouTube
• Starting an alt account
• Waiting for potential replay features

Lore Connections and Future Implications

For those interested in the deeper narrative, Cyrene’s presence in Aedes Elysia is far from coincidental. As an Elysia expy from Honkai Impact 3rd, her relationship with Phainon (Kevin Kaslana’s expy) recreates one of HoYoverse’s most beloved tragic romances.

Key lore points revealed through this questline:

• Cyrene’s prophetic abilities and card divination skills
• Her role in naming Phainon as the “Deliverer”
• The golden ichor that appears when she’s wounded
• Connections to the Flame-chasing journey

These elements suggest Cyrene will play a pivotal role in future Amphoreus updates, likely as both a playable character and a key story figure. Her interactions with the Trailblazer in this questline establish an emotional foundation that will undoubtedly be tested in coming versions.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take to complete all Cyrene interactions?

The entire questline takes approximately 45-60 minutes if you know where everything is located. First-time players should budget 60-90 minutes to fully explore and enjoy the story elements without rushing.

Can I miss any of the mini-games permanently?

No, all mini-games remain available after starting the quest. Some have time-sensitive spawns, but patience and persistence will eventually reveal all activities. The quest cannot be failed or locked out.

Do my dialogue choices with Cyrene affect rewards?

Your choices affect the emotional tone and specific dialogue you receive, but all paths lead to the same rewards. Feel free to choose options that resonate with your playstyle without worrying about missing content.

When will Cyrene become a playable character?

While not officially confirmed, leaks suggest Cyrene will become playable in a future 3.x update. Her prominent role in the Amphoreus arc and detailed character model strongly indicate she’s destined for the playable roster.

What’s the connection between the bell and Cyrene’s quest?

Each time you complete a unique interaction with Cyrene, a bell rings in the distance. This represents the gradual restoration of Phainon’s house bell, which becomes functional only after completing the entire questline. It’s a beautiful metaphor for how small actions create lasting change.

Can I replay the mini-games after completion?

Unfortunately, once completed, the mini-games cannot be replayed on the same account. The interactions with Cyrene are one-time story events. However, you can still visit the locations and see Cyrene in her default position.

Is there a best order to complete the mini-games?

While there’s no mandatory order, I recommend starting with the fixed-location games (like accepting the flower and investigating the blocked road) before hunting for the time-sensitive spawns. This ensures steady progress even if RNG isn’t cooperating.

How does this quest connect to the main story?

The Girl Once Known as ‘Mem’ quest provides crucial backstory for the Amphoreus arc. It reveals Cyrene’s role in Phainon’s past, her prophetic abilities, and sets up future plot developments involving the Chrysos Heirs and the battle against the Black Tide.

Conclusion

The Girl Once Known as ‘Mem’ questline stands out as one of Honkai Star Rail’s most touching and well-crafted side stories. Through simple mini-games and heartfelt interactions, it builds a genuine connection between the player and Cyrene while laying groundwork for future story developments.

Whether you’re here for the rewards, the lore, or just to experience a beautifully told story, this questline delivers on all fronts. Take your time, enjoy each interaction, and don’t forget to ring that bell at Phainon’s house once you’re done – you’ve earned it!

Now if you’ll excuse me, I need to go lie in a wheat field and contemplate which Cyrene interaction was my favorite. Spoiler alert: it’s impossible to choose just one.
