Honkai: Star Rail 3.5 – Lore Hunter's Guide to the As I’ve Written System & Tidal Bounty

on

The “As I’ve Written” system represents Honkai: Star Rail’s most ambitious lore feature to date, introduced in Version 3.5 as part of the Amphoreus story expansion. This intricate mechanic serves as a living chronicle of Amphoreus’ history, cataloging the stories of the Chrysos Heirs and the world’s cyclical tragedies through multiple interactive layers.

Alongside it, the Tidal Bounty world shop adds further narrative depth through its ambrosia offering mechanics, creating a full ecosystem for players invested in the game’s rich storytelling.

Unlike traditional RPG codex systems, As I’ve Written evolves dynamically as you progress through the story. Its interface transforms after completing the “For the Sun is Set to Die” Trailblaze Mission, shifting from a simple journal into Exomyth, a computer-like interface that reveals the simulated nature of Amphoreus itself.

This complete guide covers:

  • How to unlock both systems

  • Reward structures and collectibles

  • Lore significance and hidden achievements

  • Efficient farming strategies and community discoveries
