Honkai Star Rail’s writing is generally great, with clever quips and interesting storylines worth paying attention to. Still, the game has an overwhelming amount of dialogue and internal monologue reading, making even the most patient player want to skip it all. If you’re the kind of player that chooses every interaction option available to you without giving it much luck, you’ve likely stumbled into some trouble at Xianzhou Loufu. Completing the Pawnbroker Hendian quest requires patience and attention to detail, as players must pay close attention to dialogue and locations to progress. However, the rewards are worth the effort, and players will feel a sense of accomplishment once the quest is complete.

To complete the quest, players must speak to a man known as the “Frowning Young Man,” who is muttering about revenge. He can be found to the left of the Jeweller Pagoda, and players must offer him the Dirty Mechanical Part in exchange for an Old Tin Box.
Next, players must speak to Pawnbroker Hendian again and choose the dialogue option “I went and replaced the component.” This will lead players to the Spare Time Book Shop in Exalting Sanctum, where they will meet a Sad Woman who misses her memories. Players must give her the Old Tin Box to retrieve her memories and receive a jar of Draconic Tears.
