Hope is the Thing With Feathers Location in Honkai: Star Rail

If you’re a fan of Honkai: Star Rail‘s idol party member Robin and wish you could listen to her “Hope is the Thing With Feathers” single whenever you want, guess what? You can. You just need to find a record for it, which is locked behind one of Honkai: Star Rail‘s hidden quests.

For anyone who doesn’t want to waste time searching too long for this quest, here’s a simple walkthrough on how to unlock the Hope is the Thing With Feathers record in Honkai: Star Rail.

How to unlock Hope is the Thing With Feathers in Honkai: Star Rail

First things first, to obtain the Hope is the Thing With Feathers record, you will need access to Golden Hour, one of the areas in Penacony’s Dreamscape. This area becomes available by progressing the Trailblaze mission The Sound and the Fury, specifically by clearing its second part, titled The Youths Who Chase Dreams.

In Golden Hour, there are a pair of NPCs named Vexed Pepeshi Guest and the Lonely Intellitron Guest. One of them is a blonde-haired woman, and the other’s a small child, and they can be found at the foot of a staircase in the northeastern part of the second floor. We’ve marked the general area on the map above, but the staircase is also near a Clockie statue, so keep an eye out for that. Listen in on the pair’s conversation about not being able to buy Robin’s new album, and a scalper will show up offering to sell it.

A dialogue prompt will soon pop up, and you’ll have one of two choices. You can either agree to the scalper’s offer and pay for the album, or you can rat them out to a nearby Bloodhound Family Member (they should be right behind you).

We recommend the latter simply because you should never pay scalpers for anything. Either way, you’ll receive not only the Hope is the Thing With Feathers record but a Sway to My Beat in Cosmos record, too. You can listen to both records to your heart’s content in the Astral Express by using the Phonograph.
