As an enthusiast, I’m thrilled to share that Archer is joining forces with Honkai Star Rail and the Fate/ series! Get ready, because he’ll be yours absolutely free! To ensure you’re well-prepared for his Ascension and Trace material collection, start your pre-farming now using this handy guide.

Archer Ascension Materials

Extinguished Core Glimmering CoreSquirming Core
Darkveil Moonlight

From the Fragmentum Monsters predominantly discovered on Jarilo-VI, the items known as Burnt-Out Core, Sparkling Core, and Writhing Core are dropped. If you’re an experienced player, it’s worth taking a look in your stash, as you probably already have more than enough of these materials.

In the Grove of Epiphany within Amphoreus lies the Stagnant Shadow node from which Darkveil Moonlight can be obtained. Characters from Quantum, specifically Castorice, Tribbie, and Cipher, are currently in need of this item, so it’s wise to strategize your farming accordingly.

Where to farm Darkveil Moonlight

Farming Darkveil Moonlight is possible at the Stagnant Shadow: Shape of Gelidmoon node, which can be found within the Murmuring Woods area under the Grove of Epiphany, in Amphoreus.

The “Temporary Early Access” function lets players who haven’t opened up this section yet attempt the node and receive loot. As Archers’ banner is unique, we’re unsure if it will qualify for this feature. However, since Cipher also requires the same material, you can use the “Temporary Early Access” feature on this node to prepare in advance for Archer.

The Omni-Synthesizer allows you to obtain Darkveil Moonlight. By exchanging two distinct Ascension materials, you can acquire one Darkveil Moonlight. However, this swap is limited to a maximum of 20 times per week.

In order to obtain the Guardian’s Lament drop, Archer must complete the Everwinter Hill challenge within the Echo of War, which is located on Jarilo-VI. However, access to this node becomes available only after you have finished the primary Trailblaze mission on the planet. It’s important to note that each week, you can claim drops from Echo of War nodes a maximum of three times, and these drops are shared across all Echo of War nodes.
