How to Find All Shadows of Destruction in Honkai Star Rail
There are six Shadows of Destruction in total and each of them offers a different bonus. Let’s examine how to unlock all of them.
First Shadow of Destruction
The first Shadow of Destruction is given as a reward for completing the quest “Lingering Shadows” and defeating the first boss.
This Eidolon upgrade restores 10 Energy when defeating an enemy with your Ultimate ability.
Second Shadow of Destruction
The second Shadow of Destruction is the reward for completing the level 18 quest “To Rot or to Burn”. This quest is part of the main story, so there’s no way to miss it.
This Eidolon will grant a 5% lifesteal against enemies with Physical Weakness.
Third Shadow of Destruction
The third Shadow of Destruction is a level-up reward for reaching level 19.
To claim level-up rewards, simply visit Pom-Pom and interact with him at the Express.
This Eidolon will increase your Skill and Talent by 2 levels, allowing you to reach up to Level 15.
Fourth Shadow of Destruction
The fourth Shadow of Destruction needs to be purchased by the Underground Shop vendor named Lauder in Jarilo VI after reaching level 8.
This vendor can be found in Boulder Town, just south of the “Goethe Grand Hotel” teleport.
It will cost 1,000 Shields, which isn’t exactly cheap.
This Eidolon will increase your Crit Rate by 25% when attacking an enemy with a Weakness Break.
Fifth Shadow of Destruction
The fifth Shadow of Destruction also needs to be bought. Players will need to visit the Internation Purchase Officer Wen Shiqi at the Master Control Zone on Herta Space Station after reaching level 7.
This costs 500 Hertareum, a currency earned while exploring the Herta Space Station.
This Eidolon will increase your Ultimate and basic Attack by 2 levels, allowing you to reach up to Level 10.
Sixth Shadow of Destruction
Last but not least, the sixth Shadow of Destruction is simple to obtain but takes time. Players will need to reach Trailblaze level 30 and interact with Pom-Pom at the Express to get it.
This Eidolon will cause your Talent to be triggered whenever you defeat an enemy.
