Honkai Star Rail The Seven Errors of Cycranes guide

The Seven Errors of Cycranes is an Achievement Series in Honkai: Star Rail, featuring a Hidden Objective that involves helping Ziqiao find seven missing Cycranes who work for the Heron Express. You can only begin this series after completing all the Xianzhou Luofu Trailblaze Missions. Otherwise, the Cycranes won't appear in their designated locations.

Where to find all Cycranes in Honkai Star Rail

You must speak to the Depressed Cycrane first. After that, you can interact with the rest of the Cycranes in any order.

Depressed Cycrane (Sloth)

Head to the bridge northeast of Central Starskiff Haven to find a Depressed Cycrane perched atop the railing. Interact with it and choose any dialogue option. After parting ways with the Cycrane, speak to Ziqiao, who's located northwest of the same area. Choose the dialogue option "I came across a depressed cycrane" to complete this part of the hidden objective. You'll be rewarded with The Memories We Share Achievement called The Seven Errors of Cycranes: Sloth.

Resentful Cycrane (Envy)

You can find the second Cycrane chilling in a corner east of Central Starskiff Haven. Its exact location is pictured above. After speaking to the Cycrane, it will fly to a hiding spot and provide you with a map. However, the map is a bluff—see below for the next steps.

Head to the exact area marked above, south of Central Starskiff Haven, to find the Resentful Cycrane. Speak to it to unlock The Memories We Share Achievement called The Seven Errors of Cycranes: Envy.

Dissatisfied Cycrane (Gluttony)

Head to the Grocery Store Owner in the Central Starskiff Haven—its exact location is circled in the image above. Upon heading there, you'll immediately spot a Dissatisfied Cycrane in front of the stall. Speak to it and complete the conversation (any answer will do) to prompt it to fly back to the Heron Express. You'll receive The Memories We Share Achievement called The Seven Errors of Cycranes: Gluttony.

Cycrane with the moniker "Stonker" (Pride)

Head to the area circled in the image above, at the center of the Exalting Sanctum, to find the Cycrane with the moniker "Stonker." Listen in on its conversation with the kids, then play along until you're asked to solve a riddle. The correct answer is 5 Strales, but the objective will complete regardless of what option you choose. Once done, you'll get The Memories We Share Achievement called The Seven Errors of Cycranes: Pride.

Cycrane with the moniker "Evil Dragon" (Greed)

You can find the location of the Cycrane with the moniker "Evil Dragon" in the area circled above, which is located east of Cloudford F1. Speak to the Cycrane to trigger an Abacus Circuitry puzzle. Follow the steps below to solve it.

Courteous Cycrane (Lust)

You can find the Courteous Cycrane south of Cloudford F1. This was by far my favorite Cycrane as the conversation with it was extremely unhinged—so I highly recommend reading through the dialogue! After speaking to the Cycrane, follow it until it stops in front of a shipping container (you may run into enemies). After helping it smuggle a book, you'll get caught by security and part ways, completing the objective. You'll be rewarded with The Memories We Share Achievement called The Seven Errors of Cycranes: Lust.

Brave Cycrane (Wrath)

The Brave Cycrane is located at the center of Stargazer Navalia F1, circled in the image above. Speak to it to prompt a battle against enemies (Physical, Lightning, Imaginary). Defeat them to be rewarded with The Memories We Share Achievement called The Seven Errors of Cycranes: Wrath.

Final Achievement

After meeting all seven Cycranes, return to Ziqiao in Central Starskiff Haven and speak to her. Select the dialogue option "I found all the cycranes..." and complete the conversation (choose any dialogue options) to get the final The Memories We Share Achievement called Seven Birds in the Hand is Worth A Thousand in the Bush.
