The Doomsday Beast can be considered the first boss ofHonkai: Star Rail. Most players may be overwhelmed by its sheer size as well as its attacking methods since the beast can cause massive damage.
The Prologue chapter allows Trailblazer to fight the Doomsday Beast during the final parts of the “Lingering Shadows”Mission inHonkai: Star Rail. The boss’s purpose is to give players an idea about the game’s mechanics and to get comfortable with it. Additionally, fighting the Doomsday Beast will teach the importance of Weakness Break. After that, the beast is available as a weekly boss thanks to the Echo of War mechanic upon completing the “In the Dangerous Muddy Swamp” Quest.

How To Beat Doomsday Beast In Honkai Star Rail
The Doomsday Beast boss fight is split into two phases, and both HP needs to be emptied out to beat the enemy. Here are a couple of tips on how to defeat the Doomsday Beast inHonkai: Star Rail.
Take Care Of The Hands Before The Engine
In each phase, the Doomsday Beast will attack with three main parts; the Antimatter Engine, Dawn’s Left Hand, and Disaster’s Right Hand.When all of them are down, the boss will become vulnerable. The best strategy is tofocus on one part at a time, preferably the hands, instead of attacking all three parts together(breaking the Engine without the hands will grant an achievement, but it’s not the best way to beat the boss in the early game).
A simple method would be to targeteach part’s weakness to cause Weakness Break. This way, the hand’s turn will be delayed, and players have more chances to act.
Get Ready For The Second Phase
The boss has two phases and the first one is easier than the second as the Doomsday Beast will become more aggressive and cause heavier damage. Therefore, when the first health bar is almost spent, try tocollect Skill Points and regenerate Energyfor the Ultimate as it’s much needed in the second phase.
The boss will not move once it’s down, so players can use the moment to heal, shield, and collect Skill Points all at the same time.
Beware Of Charged Attack
During the second phase of the boss fight, the Doomsday Beast will regain his HP and use the same attacks, but more aggressively. Additionally, at some point during the fight,the monster inHonkai: Star Railwill prepare a charged attack called theCataclysm Precursor.
The next time the boss moves, it will unleashImpending Doom, which can be deadly. Use the charging time to protect squishy characters like those who follow the Path of the Hunt.
