The Version 3.0 Illia Travelogue was a time-limited Amphoreus exploration checklist, not a permanent mode or a standalone combat stage. It asked players to defeat specific Furiae enemies, use Oronyx’s Prayers, collect treasures, catch Spirithieves, and complete several Amphoreus interactions. The event ended on February 24, 2025, at 03:59 server time, so its limited-time objectives and direct rewards cannot be claimed now. This guide records the requirements, objective counts, practical completion order, and reward totals for players checking their past progress or documenting Version 3.0 content.
The official Version 3.0 announcement introduced the travelogue as an account of Amphoreus based on Illia’s discovered letters. The complete announcement is available from HoYoverse.
What was the Illia Travelogue event in Honkai: Star Rail 3.0?
Illia Travelogue was an event checklist attached to Amphoreus exploration during Version 3.0. Instead of opening a separate battle domain with its own stages, the event tracked actions performed in the normal Amphoreus maps: defeating named enemy groups, activating Oronyx’s Prayers, opening treasures, catching Spirithieves, riding a dromas, and completing specific exploration activities.
HoYoverse described the premise this way: “Legend has it that Illia, the Chrysos Heir, spent his entire life wandering Amphoreus and his personal letters were eventually discovered by a wandering poet, thus giving rise to this travelogue.” That sentence appears in the Version 3.0 “Paean of Era Nova” announcement; it is lore framing for the event rather than a quotation from a named character.
The event ran from the Version 3.0 update until 2025-02-24 at 03:59 server time. The announcement states the closing time but does not provide a separate start-clock time in the cited passage. Since the deadline has passed, the following information is a historical completion reference, not a current way to obtain Stellar Jade or other event items.
Who could participate, and what did early access change?
The participation gate was completion of the Trailblaze Mission “Jarilo-VI — Silent Galaxy.” Once that requirement was met, players could work through the Amphoreus content needed by the checklist as those areas and activities became available.
HoYoverse also advertised Finality’s Vision: Leap of Trailblaze as an early-access route. It allowed eligible players to unlock Amphoreus-related Trailblaze Missions ahead of their normal story sequence and complete event targets sooner. The announcement does not state an additional Trailblaze Level requirement for this event, so a guide should not add one.
- Required story progress: Complete “Jarilo-VI — Silent Galaxy.”
- Early access: Finality’s Vision: Leap of Trailblaze could open Amphoreus-related missions early.
- Current availability: The event deadline has passed; the checklist and limited-time rewards are no longer claimable as an active event.
What were the Hero’s Journey enemy objectives?
Hero’s Journey asked players to defeat designated Furiae enemy types in Amphoreus. The detailed event listing records three defeats for each of four regular categories and three Furiae Praetors. These were ordinary field encounters, so the efficient approach was to defeat them while naturally moving through the corresponding Amphoreus areas rather than treating them as a separate farming stage.
| Furiae category | Recorded requirement | How to clear it |
|---|---|---|
| Furiae Warriors | Defeat 3 | Fight the designated Warriors encountered in Amphoreus. |
| Furiae Philosophers | Defeat 3 | Fight the designated Philosophers in the open areas where they appear. |
| Furiae Archers | Defeat 3 | Defeat the named Archer enemies during normal exploration. |
| Furiae Troupes | Defeat 3 | Clear the designated Troupe encounters. |
| Furiae Praetors | 3 in the detailed event listing | Confirm the counter in the event interface because one secondary walkthrough gives a conflicting count. |
The detailed Illia Travelogue listing includes three Furiae Praetors. A Game8 walkthrough presents conflicting secondary wording for that line. If you were checking an old account record, the in-game event counter or a saved screenshot is the best authority for what your particular version displayed.
How should you approach the combat checklist?
Do not spend Trailblaze Power or build a special team solely for Hero’s Journey. The targets were field enemies, so a normal exploration team could satisfy the counters while opening chests and moving between story objectives. If a category stopped increasing, verify that the enemy name matched the event’s Furiae label; defeating an unrelated Amphoreus foe would not substitute for the designated type.
How did the Rite of Divines prayer objectives work?
Rite of Divines required using Oronyx’s Prayers three times in each of four named areas. The prayer had to be used on suitable interactable objects in the area; simply entering a zone or activating an unrelated environmental prompt did not count as a prayer use.
| Area | Prayer uses required | Practical check |
|---|---|---|
| Eternal Holy City Okhema | 3 | Use Oronyx’s Prayer on three eligible objects while in Okhema. |
| Strife Ruins Castrum Kremnos | 3 | Complete three qualifying prayer interactions in the Strife Ruins section. |
| Abyss of Fate Janusopolis | 3 | Use the prayer three times on suitable objects in Janusopolis. |
| Bloodbathed Battlefront Castrum Kremnos | 3 | Complete three qualifying interactions in the Bloodbathed Battlefront area. |
Because each zone had its own counter, twelve total prayer uses were needed for the category. The area names matter: a prayer use in one Castrum Kremnos map did not fill the counter for the other. The event listing and walkthrough describe the requirement as interacting with appropriate objects, so players who saw no progress should look for an eligible environmental target rather than repeatedly activating the same non-qualifying prompt.
What did Wondrous Treasures require?
Wondrous Treasures combined ordinary chest collection with the Spirithief activity. Its recorded requirements were to collect 15 treasures in Amphoreus and catch three Spirithieves, then reclaim the treasure each one had stolen.
Collecting 15 treasures
Treasure progress came from opening qualifying Amphoreus treasures during exploration. Story routes, optional paths, puzzle detours, and map cleanup could all contribute, so there was no need to search for a special event-only chest type. If you were planning a route, open nearby chests while completing the Hero’s Journey fights and Rite of Divines prayers; this avoids returning to the same map solely for the count.
Catching three Spirithieves
Spirithieves are exploration encounters in which the creature takes treasure and must be pursued so the stolen reward can be recovered. The event counter required three successful catches, not merely spotting the creature. Complete the chase and reclaim the treasure each time, then verify that the Wondrous Treasures counter increased before leaving the area.
Which Journey’s Miscellany activities had to be completed?
Journey’s Miscellany covered distinct Amphoreus interactions that do not all happen during ordinary enemy farming. The more complete event listing records five tasks: ride a dromas, complete Georios’ Treasure, find the Golden Short Spear, interact with Aquila’s Enlightenment, and raise Celestial Ambrosia to level 6.
| Activity | Recorded requirement | What completion means |
|---|---|---|
| Dromas ride | Ride a dromas | Mount and ride the designated dromas interaction in Amphoreus. |
| Georios’ Treasure | Complete Georios’ Treasure | Finish the named treasure activity rather than only starting it. |
| Golden Short Spear | Find the Golden Short Spear | Locate and interact with the named item. |
| Aquila’s Enlightenment | Interact with Aquila’s Enlightenment | Activate the named exploration interaction. |
| Celestial Ambrosia | Raise it to Level 6 | Progress the Vortex of Genesis-related system until Celestial Ambrosia reaches level 6. |
The accessible Game8 task table omits the Celestial Ambrosia line, while the contemporary detailed listing includes it. For a complete historical checklist, use the five-item version and treat the Celestial Ambrosia requirement as the item most likely to be missing from abbreviated walkthroughs.
What is the Celestial Ambrosia requirement tied to?
Celestial Ambrosia progression is connected to the Vortex of Genesis exploration system, so it is not a one-button interaction that can be completed on the first visit. Continue the relevant Amphoreus progression and raise the system to Level 6, then check the event interface for the Journey’s Miscellany completion. The requirement is a level target, not a request to collect a particular number of unrelated chests.
What was the most efficient completion order?
No official route was published as a mandatory sequence. The following order is a practical synthesis of the listed objectives: unlock access first, combine counters whenever you enter an area, and leave the level-gated activity until the required story and exploration systems are open.
- Meet the story requirement. Complete “Jarilo-VI — Silent Galaxy.” If using Finality’s Vision: Leap of Trailblaze, unlock the Amphoreus-related missions available through that early-access option.
- Advance Amphoreus access. Follow the story far enough to reach the four areas named by Rite of Divines and the activities listed under Journey’s Miscellany. You cannot use an interaction in a map you have not unlocked.
- Clear combat while travelling. Defeat Furiae Warriors, Philosophers, Archers, Troupes, and Praetors as you pass through their areas. Check the event counters rather than assuming every similarly named enemy qualifies.
- Use prayers before leaving each area. In Okhema, Strife Ruins Castrum Kremnos, Abyss of Fate Janusopolis, and Bloodbathed Battlefront Castrum Kremnos, find three eligible objects and use Oronyx’s Prayer on each.
- Open nearby treasures. Collect the 15 required treasures during the same exploration sweep. This also gives you opportunities to encounter Spirithieves.
- Finish each Spirithief chase. Catch three and reclaim the stolen treasure; a sighting without a successful recovery does not satisfy the task.
- Complete the named interactions. Ride a dromas, finish Georios’ Treasure, find the Golden Short Spear, and activate Aquila’s Enlightenment.
- Raise Celestial Ambrosia. Continue Vortex of Genesis progression until Celestial Ambrosia reaches Level 6, then confirm the Journey’s Miscellany entry.
- Review the event page. Before the historical event closed, this final check would have caught an unregistered prayer, an incomplete Spirithief chase, or a missing named interaction. Today, it is useful only for comparing saved records or archived screenshots.
What rewards did Illia Travelogue give?
The detailed event listing records the following direct rewards for completing the checklist. These are in-game reward quantities from the 2025 event, not prices or external-value estimates.
| Reward | Total listed | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Stellar Jade | 500 | Overall Illia Travelogue event reward. |
| Traveler’s Guide | 20 | Character EXP material. |
| Lost Crystal | 12 | Relic EXP material. |
| Dynamic Outlining | 21 | Material awarded by the event objectives. |
| Credits | 300,000 | Total from the detailed objective reward entries. |
Why do some pages say 240,000 Credits?
Game8’s page headline states 240,000 Credits, but its category breakdown lists 60,000 for Hero’s Journey, 60,000 for Rite of Divines, 120,000 for Wondrous Treasures, and 60,000 for Journey’s Miscellany. Those entries add up to 300,000 Credits, matching the detailed Illia Travelogue listing. The 300,000 total is therefore the better-supported figure; the 240,000 headline appears to be an internal inconsistency on that secondary page.
Was there a Nameless Honor reward?
Separately from the direct event-reward table, the detailed listing records a Nameless Honor mission: completing any 10 Illia Travelogue entries granted 1,400 Nameless EXP. This was battle-pass progress associated with the event, not an additional item bundled into the 500 Stellar Jade, materials, and Credits total.
How should conflicting guides and incomplete checklists be interpreted?
The event’s broad structure is consistent across the available references, but some secondary pages abbreviate or disagree on individual details. The Furiae Praetor count is reported differently, and the Game8 task table leaves out Celestial Ambrosia even though the more complete listing includes it. For archival accuracy, retain both the detailed listing and the caveat rather than silently presenting the conflicting line as settled fact.
- Use the event interface first when an old screenshot or account record is available; its counter reflects the version that actually tracked your progress.
- Use the detailed Illia Travelogue listing for the five Journey’s Miscellany tasks and the 300,000-Credit total.
- Treat walkthrough summaries as secondary when they omit a task or use a different count.
- Do not infer modern availability from an archived objective list; the February 24, 2025 deadline means these rewards are no longer obtainable through the event.
Did Illia Travelogue add a separate combat mode?
No. The event was an exploration checklist layered over Amphoreus, not a new combat mode with selectable stages. Its combat entries simply counted designated Furiae defeats, while the rest of the checklist rewarded normal map exploration and interactions.
Where can the original requirements be checked?
The official narrative, timing, participation requirement, and early-access note are in HoYoverse’s Version 3.0 “Paean of Era Nova” announcement. The objective and reward breakdown is preserved in the community-maintained Illia Travelogue listing. A secondary area-by-area walkthrough is available from Game8; consult it with the Praetor-count and Celestial Ambrosia qualifications above.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why was the event called Illia Travelogue?
The name comes from Amphoreus lore about Illia, the Chrysos Heir. HoYoverse’s Version 3.0 announcement says a wandering poet discovered Illia’s personal letters and turned them into a travelogue, which explains why the event presents exploration as a recorded journey.
Could Finality’s Vision: Leap of Trailblaze be used without following the normal Amphoreus story order?
It was presented as an early-access option for unlocking Amphoreus-related Trailblaze Missions and completing event targets sooner. It changed when the content could be reached, but it was not described as a replacement for the event’s stated “Jarilo-VI — Silent Galaxy” participation requirement.
Were the event’s Credits and Nameless EXP part of one reward pool?
No. The Credits were part of the direct Illia Travelogue objective rewards, while 1,400 Nameless EXP came from a separate Nameless Honor mission for completing any 10 entries. They should be recorded as two different reward channels.
Why might an archived checklist show fewer Journey’s Miscellany tasks?
Some walkthrough tables summarized four activities and did not display the Celestial Ambrosia requirement. The more complete event listing includes raising Celestial Ambrosia to Level 6, so archived records should identify which checklist version or source they are using.
