Where to Find Hope Is A Thing With Feathers in HSR (Location)

Hope Is A Thing With Feathers is a hidden quest in Honkai: Star Rail, located in Penacony. By completing this quest, you can obtain two of Robin’s songs: Hope Is A Thing With Feathers and Sway My Beat In Cosmos. First, head to the Golden Hour in Penacony using the Space Anchor near the Clockie statue.

Next, go to the long corridor on the top right part of the map. There, you will find a crowd on the staircase, talking about Robin’s new album and cheering her name. Speak to the Vexed Pepishi Guest and the Lonely Intellitron Guest, and you will trigger a cut scene where they are talking about how fast Robin’s new album sold out.

For your convenience, we have provided a map below where you can start Hope Is A Thing With Feathers:

A man who has been scalping records will approach you and offer to sell you Robin’s album. You have two options here: buy the record (which costs a Praise of High Morals) or report him to the Bloodhound Family. Both options will allow you to get the music at the end, so you don’t have to worry about missing out on it.

If you decide to buy it from him, the scene ends there, and you can walk away with the record. If you decide to report him, you’ll have to find a member of the Bloodhound Family who is standing nearby and speak to them. After that, the Bloodhound Family will drag him away and give you the music as a reward.
