Please note that no video summary will be a perfect substitute for playing the story for yourself. I made this video for people who really don't have time to dive into the story of Part 1 or just want a quicky refresh of the story, but for any newcomer reading this, I highly recommend playing the story for yourself if you can.
@HomuLabs what I remembered is that SA is not really dead but only a part of her roots were destroyed that currently resides within the solar system, but SA will no longer bother them after revealing its presence to the one enemy it was afraid of.
I swear I tried... I got to the serpent part, but it was the energy system that drained me T_T Also, imo, best Hoyo plot, worst game design (the most "mobile" probably, which isn't for me), so thank you for all your summaries! ^^ (I watched all your compilation, alternating with the animated shorts, so it was like watching a season of a show XD)
Glad my content was helpful! If you want, you can jump into Part 2 right after this. Part 2 uses the Open World system like HSR and doesn't consume stamina. Also, it feel a lot more in line with the newer HoYo games.
One of the most touching moments in the story that I still vividly remembers is when Kiana was still fighting over control with Sirin and she was in the lowest moment of her life that she tried to kill herserlf but Fu Hua stopped her before she could do it. I still cry when I remember it, like the whole story would have ended right there.
With the amount of hsr people wanting to check out the Hi3rd story without playing the game. This is perfect for them. And personally I think this is a good summary. Good stuff.
Hello, i just installed hi3 again. I'm at chapter 12 of part 1 the last time i played. Now i cannot access the part 1 story in the story tab, it only shows the beginning of part 2. All the chapters in part 1 story are gone for me. How do i get part 1 story back? Do i need to complete part 2 chapters first for them to appear again?
@@khakikohii did you click on the part one tab to have it drop down? “The Moon’s Finality and Origin” click it and it will show the part 1 chapters below it.
@@khakikohii That would be really bad game design if you couldn't access part 1 until you finish part 2 lmao. But here how to access it, step by step. In Lobby/Menu, click on Attack, go to Start tap which is on the top, click on story and you can access the chapter/arc you wanted to play on the left side of the screen.
You know, I was about to play this game once I set up my PC (yes I just got a PC on my birthday) so maybe I should play the game myself before I come back here lol
pretty accurate recap for the entire game. If I may add 1 plot point, Siegfried (Kiana and Durandal father) was not dead but was imprisoned by Kevin in some stigma dimension. Kiana and Durandal rescue him before Kiana and her friend fight Kevin one last time
It's a great video also for ppl who already played the story, like a recap of the events to remind things we saw a while ago. "cheerful and bubbly girl" 17:23 it's always funny when you know how things turn out 😄 (and how they have being in part 2)
I love that this video kept me up to speed on part 1 with most details, hard to remember once you finish the game a long time ago. Can't wait for part 2 because im still lost
I stopped playing around 1.5 (probabl when Sirin battlesuit came out) because i just didn't have the time and was getting a burnout from playing HI3. that and because i just felt satisfied with Part 1's conclusion. I love seele she's one of my favourite characters but the burnout was just so real 😭 I reinstalled recently just because I actually finally felt like playing again, i'm just about to start doing 1.5 and try to finish it so I always love recap videos like this. There's a lot of jargon and terminology in hyv games, especially HI3, and whenever I need a refresher you always come in clutch. The events dumb things down for me and help a lot. Thanks man! You're probably one of the HI3 lore youtubers that I rely on, if not the only one.

good video like always, but there's an error when talking about Finale part 1: Kiana didn't absorbed all herrscher's powers, she was choosed as the HoFinality while Kevin, still absorbing CoF power, counted like a competitor to Kiana for that role. In the second part of the arc, the one stage based, Welt, Tesla and Mei had a discussion about Finality and it was said "even if there is someone who has really integrated all the herrscher power...that's still a different thing from her being the herrscher of finality" long story short, finality has a sort of omni-authority bc its the only true herrscher while the others are just a shadow of finality
Amazing video. I really can't imagine the so hard time you had making this so hard summary work. Really admirable! Thank you for your extra-ordinary work and thank you for your channel! And thank you for your love to this game's story!
THANK YOU!!! i completed the entire of part 1 and 1.5 (seele arc) and i really needed a recap of everything, and you didnt seem to have chapter 39's recap
thank you for the summary, im currently speedrunning the story to catch up and get sparkle when she comes out, watching some cutscenes but mostly skipping the earlier stuff.
I'll be the only one to mention ma boi moriarty who is actually the one to 5Dchess 300IQ everyone into killing Sa no matter if it benefited vita or not 😔(excellent vid even for veterans like me who may want/need a refresher especially part 1.5).
there are some info that's part true but some are not and here imma bout to give it all i have gems are the cores of herrscher, but not a complete form. a gem can form when the honkai level is dense enough. herrscher cores are the upgrade form of gems, can only form when the carrier have high compatibility with the gem and honkai energy and the honkai power is over 2000 honkai watts. 2nd, wendy is not a herrscher, she can carry a gem but with no compatibility, she can't turn the gem into a complete core thus can't be a real herrscher, same apply to Owl. well, owl's last momment can become a new herrscher of the Earth but as what happened, he gave his gem to anna to form the Rimestar. As for the rest he recap the whole story quite good. Also, can you do a video about divine keys (god key)?
When I saw the title of the video, I was already laughing, but when I heard the author - this is the peak of comedy, this is not a clown, this is a whole circus
Honestly it works ok as a refresher for people who have played the story before. But I feel like for someone looking to actually learn the story for this it probably should have been double the length and somewhat slower paced. I feel like right now its too rapid pased and missing just a few key points I think should be explained just a bit more
I can't be the only one who can't follow this at all, right? How many hours of story are condensed into these 20 minutes? Because it feels like the answer is: waaay too many. This reminds me of those videos trying to "explain" the plot of Kingdom Hearts and it just turns into a convoluted mess that can only be followed by people who are already familiar with the story. I salute you for trying though.
There are 2 types of games : make multiple characters each with there own role and shove all the lore in a couple characters hi3rd is definitely the second type wich makes the lore really complicated with all that said than you you really the herscher that we don't deserve ❤❤😊
You know... after hearing the summarized version of the Honkai... it basically is almost the same thing as the Hollows in ZZZ o_o''... LOL. Not exactly, but it has many, many similarities.
Good video as always but lets me tell you this. " *Bro, you just rap, really rap from the start to the end. For someone that Eng is not their main language, I've to stop and read subtitle for every damn 1 sec.* " anyway, thanks for this lore video, bro.
Question Homulabs: I know that the Honkai definition was based on what they said in honkai operation center video about honkaiverse. But from universe perspective, does honkai definition applies outside earth? When they said "humanity struggle" does that applies on all worlds in honkaiverse? Because if thats not the case, why use "honkai" in honkai star rail if that term is for earth only. My guess is that, the made that video during that time because there are no other resrouce that they can use to represent what is honkai so they use earth as an example how this works. But then when they release Acheron myriad celestia, you can say that is an honkai phenomenon but with different terms as long as the concept of "humanity struggles" and "when they technology advances, they grow stronger". Thoughts?
honkai exists outside of earth. part 2 proves that. honkai energy is just "imaginary energy" from the imaginary tree; it can take any kind of form. the honkai in star rail could be aeons, mara, paths, ect. it's just an energy
Honkai means collapse or decay. But from what i could gather honkai energy means differently, its imaginary energy. And that is what an AEON is, they are Imaginary concepts, Humanity struggles and Honkai grow stronger when technology advances, is becuase of the Cocoon of the Finality, Finality is just like Aeons, but instead of governing an idea, a concept, the cocoon is just a higher dimension entity. and that is why they are not limited by the restrictions of aeons. Dont know if that answered your question, tried my best. Dont take my answers seriously because that might be wrong
I don't play HSR can u or other ppl answer, what is mara-struck in hsr? Like in my thought honkai other planet or universe will probably change the "honkai" name by other thing
@@SlimeTenseiImpact hhmm still did not answer my question, because from the definition itself "Honkaiverse is based on parallel "universe" (not earth) the reiterates conflict between mankind and nature "Humanity struggle against the honkai". Its very telling that this is not exclusive to earth. But yes im aware the term honkai was an "earth term" that is why that concept was never used in star rail because they use different terms. But from universe building point of view, they use this term to define what unique in that pararrell universe. Thats personally i feel like its not right to define what is an honkai from earth perspective if youre explaining it from a metaverse point of view.
Im kinda confused now, in the previous Sa vid, u said she was just stuck in the SoQ blind, cuz she doesn't have her eyes anymore, now she was KIA by Vita by stealing her authority(eyes)
That's what I thought initially, but after talking with some people who played the game in Chinese, the text there pretty much confirms that Vita killed Sa for good then.
Wait, HI3rd is the "longest running" Hoyo game? I mean, globally yes, but didn't GGZ still running? Last time I checked HI3rd has at least 1 or 2 year to be as long running as GGZ IF GGZ already shut down even in China.
@@HomuLabs True, anyway, could you make a similar video about GGZ? I know it's far more longer and harder, but as it don't have a global server, I think there are many of us who would love to catch up to that story too without learning fluent mandarin.😅

That was after Kiana's blow, but it is stated in the story very clearly that Vita ended Sa's life for good after and took Its authority.
Glad my content was helpful! If you want, you can jump into Part 2 right after this. Part 2 uses the Open World system like HSR and doesn't consume stamina. Also, it feel a lot more in line with the newer HoYo games.
Im a simple person. I see Homu upload, I click.

But here how to access it, step by step.
In Lobby/Menu, click on Attack, go to Start tap which is on the top, click on story and you can access the chapter/arc you wanted to play on the left side of the screen.
Or in a nutshell: Cosmic horrors and forces invade Earth and humanity attempts and succeeds in fighting back to an extent.
He is back!! cant wait for the part2.0 lore videos 💯
Thanks LoreDaddy! Never expect another honkai video summary 🤣
You know, I was about to play this game once I set up my PC (yes I just got a PC on my birthday) so maybe I should play the game myself before I come back here lol
pretty accurate recap for the entire game. If I may add 1 plot point, Siegfried (Kiana and Durandal father) was not dead but was imprisoned by Kevin in some stigma dimension. Kiana and Durandal rescue him before Kiana and her friend fight Kevin one last time
That is a really impressive story summary.
One of the most reliable Hi3 CCs, hopefully this video will also introduce newcomers about the honkai, especially the upcoming HSR collab!
Thanks for your hard work it's not easy task to sum up Part 1
As someone who has slowly been making thier way through the story and been veeeeeeeeeeeeeery confused this helped alot.
It's a great video also for ppl who already played the story, like a recap of the events to remind things we saw a while ago.
"cheerful and bubbly girl" 17:23 it's always funny when you know how things turn out 😄 (and how they have being in part 2)

As always.. homu has put out yet another amazing video chalk full of content and lore. Love to see it!
Thank you, as always, much love
Perfect summary of the story, good job Homu
very cool lets get some lore refreshers
you have no idea how much
we appreciate you homu!!!!
THABK U SO MUCH HOMU LABS 😭😭😭 ALWAYS COMING IN CLUTCH
now we just need ggz lore in 20 minute (cant wait to cry in 1 minute fire moth dlc part, horaiji is and still be my favourite character design)

whats the chance that I decided today after years to look again into honkai lore and there is new short video of it all 👌
He did it, HOMULABS actually did it. HE IS HIM 🔥🔥🔥🔥
"A heart-wrenching conversation" well that's one way to put it 😅
Your videos always help me connect parts I did not get or I forgot. Nice work. Will you make recaps of HI3 part 2 as well as chapter go?
So, you’ll make us videos about Part 2 of Hi3, because following everything the characters say is a nightmare.
They say it couldn't be done. The mad lad did it!
The madlad really summed up a 7+ years story that's still continuing to this day into 20 minutes...
*Respect to the Honkai lore master.* 🛐
THANK YOU!!! i completed the entire of part 1 and 1.5 (seele arc) and i really needed a recap of everything, and you didnt seem to have chapter 39's recap
Hope you feel better soon! Thanks for the video.
Thank you!! As usual a great video and a wonderful recap!
thank you for the summary, im currently speedrunning the story to catch up and get sparkle when she comes out, watching some cutscenes but mostly skipping the earlier stuff.
Thank you Herscherr of homu ❤🎉
Thank you for the recap bro i love your video.
THIS IS PERFECT!! i just got one of my friends to start hi3, so this will be perfect for her!
also… i knew that i hear nightglow in the background… 💔😔

that one hot NPC, but at the same time thicc imaginary BOSS type character, evolve from Gray Serpent to "Gold" Serpent🥶
Wait I just clicked because I saw it was homu. I can’t believe you summarized the entire story’ this is incredible!
Auuugh HI3 lore is so beautiful.... I've finally understood it for so many years...
Great video thanks for the refresher. Can you do a video on APHO as well?
we needed this thank you 💕💕
FINALLY, THE VIDEO I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR AGES, THANK YOU!! (Im a story skipper)
Wow, Homu! I think you have literally succeeded in the proverbial threading a camel through the eye of a needle!
Is your back getting better bro?
Banger video. I find Part 2 way more confusing than Part 1.
there are some info that's part true but some are not and here imma bout to give it all i have
gems are the cores of herrscher, but not a complete form. a gem can form when the honkai level is dense enough. herrscher cores are the upgrade form of gems, can only form when the carrier have high compatibility with the gem and honkai energy and the honkai power is over 2000 honkai watts. 2nd, wendy is not a herrscher, she can carry a gem but with no compatibility, she can't turn the gem into a complete core thus can't be a real herrscher, same apply to Owl. well, owl's last momment can become a new herrscher of the Earth but as what happened, he gave his gem to anna to form the Rimestar.

Great recap!
graduation trip got me crying for a week 😭😭😭😭😭
Bro explained the story in 69420x less time than it'd take me, and yes that number is entirely necessary to the plot.
Honestly it works ok as a refresher for people who have played the story before.

Thanks for making summary HI3 story part 1
Amazing work
Honestly, props to this guy for explaining the hi3 story, we all know this game's story is confusing af
I liked the part where Honkai did an impact.

Ah, so i'm about 16/20 the way through with the story, got it😂
Very good, saved this video
