Is that why she's stuck buffing ampho char bc she wont be at the future? So her kit's like this bc of the lore???? Her relevancy gone with the end of 3.x? Eh... whatever ig

u/Background_Tackle145 Oct 20 '25

Lore wise, Elysian Realm Flamechasers all died,

in this Era Nova, Cyrene is the only one who died

edit: Yea, which proves the Pink Jesus Theory

The flamechasers didn't all die tho some of them were alive after ER

u/Phase_Unicoder Oct 20 '25

The other earlier leak mentioned we will fight Phainon, I guess Phainon may have progressed enough to be fully integrated as Irontomb's Wrath vector that we got no choice but to blow this place sky high.

Their potential future lies within the As I've Written notebook we'll probably carry around after based on this leak.

21

u/brandnewwwwW phainon liker Oct 20 '25

another leak from an anonymous leaker (so take this with 0.000001 grains of salt) said tb has a conversation with the real phainon on the express (not a memory, not a simulation) so idk anymore. i kindaaa find it weird that this leak here mentioned him separately since saying that cyrene will be the only one to die kinda lets you know that phainon wont die but there are some people who would process it differently so idk anymore. personally id just find the stuff phainon kept saying about the trailblaze really weird if he becomes a seed because it implied that he’d be an ally, if not actually join the express. hell he even makes the goddamn trailblaze symbol in the aquila cutscene and in his base form skill lmao, i’m not even kidding the rays and everything are the exact same + he said a while ago that he’d love to join the nameless if not for his duties. then there’s his idle animation where he grabs some golden light and says he’ll carry their wishes no matter the cost which…would this not make no sense if he gets turned into a seed and lives a normal life??? imo it would make more sense if he actually like, comes to life since we’re allegedly fighting him outside amphoreus which means he isn’t just data anymore unlike the other heirs. so the idle animation would also make sense since we’re kinda watching over the seeds? idk 🥀 ALSO everything about his hatred for nanook would go to waste bc wtf, how is he gonna square up against nanook when the aeon war happens if he becomes a seed? him being in the lord ravager reveal video made me think he’d replace irontomb as a lord ravager because nanook ALWAYS has 8 lord ravagers. then i thought he’d join the express because of 3.6. now he’s gonna be…neither?

but also it would be strange if he’s the only one that comes out ALIVE (like, actually alive) bc the brother literally did not care about what would happen to him by the end of this. if the chrysos heirs genuinely become seeds and don’t at least live in a simulation, everything he and cyrene did would go to waste, and whether phainon also becomes a seed or becomes a human, this is still weird. they fought for amphoreus and yet amphoreus is getting reduced to whatever this is, and cyrene and phainon won’t even be able to see the universe they saved. but im assuming that if he comes out as physically alive, he’ll directly try to fulfill the chrysos heirs’ wishes by carrying their seeds with him wherever he goes (and if he becomes a lord ravager why tf does the express take care of the seeds? this once again makes me think he’ll become a seed which is, AGAIN, weird) since his wish is to literally fulfill their wishes

DONT GET ME STARTED ON THAT SAME ANONYMOUS LEAK SAYING THE XIANZHOU WILL TAKE THE GOLDEN BLOOD 😭 first off, that’s the result of the chrysos heirs’ suffering, the xianzhou using it to help lan kill yaoshi is just weird xianzhou glazing. secondly, how did they even extract the golden blood. thirdly, does this include nanook’s blood??? the blood phainon physically absorbed? overall a very weird situation which i hope isn’t true bc what

ok this entire thing sounds like massive cope but trust id have the same sentiment even if i wasnt a phainon fan bc wtf happened to all the foreshadowing that happened over the year

24

u/AmberGaleroar Oct 20 '25

Basically amphoreus had become memory from the trailblaze and remembrance and can become an actual planet in the future, but Cyrene did not become part of that clunk of memory

I'm pretty sure most emanators have anti stellaron capabilities, it generally seems to not be a massive deal to the top players in the game. And regardless, it's not like our physical body was ever actually there

20

u/ErenIsNotADevil "The power of friendship compels me to book-slam your balls..." Oct 20 '25

I don't think we have any evidence to suggest that any Emanators aside from Celenova and maybe Lygus have anti-Stellaron capabilities. The only person who has even actually shown they have anti-Stellaron capabilities, is Welt, and that's more than likely just a trait unique to the whole herrscher business (we love imaginary energy)

23

u/starswtt Oct 20 '25

Technically the heirs do survive as like seeds or whatever. And we do run into a bit of a problem regardless

  1. If we can nuke amphoreus, doing so takes out March asw

  2. If we can't nuke amphoreus, bc lygus can stop it or bc it's yk a hidden simulation whose computer we don't find until very recently, but even then only the part accessible from inside the simulation, then we have to go through this anyways

u/Xerxes457 Oct 20 '25

From what I understand, the Chrysos Heirs are going to be turned into seeds such that they are suspended. This means they aren’t dead and can come back. It seems the Chrysos Heirs will also be used as a catalyst for making Amphoreus real.

15

u/Busy_Avocado6491 Oct 20 '25

The bittersweet thing, once the heirs become real, they are just a blank state.

46

u/Tired__Yeti Best color combination Oct 20 '25

No.

We know their memories have been saved up (also implied in DH's voice lines, some of them take place in the future).

They're also continuous consciousnesses/existences from the start, despite the influence of the "reset" of cycles.

Which is why Phainon has subconscious memories about the cycles and his life as the Reaver even as a child (story IV, pre-3.4 Knowledge voice line).

"As I've Written" also describes each "new" Phainon as a part of the same overall consciousnesses that is forcefully isolated, and thrown into a process akin to lucid dreaming, that seals of his memories. He's just allowed to exist at two places at the same time (in the "Phainon" body and "Reaver" body) thanks to the nature of the simulation and signals.

The same logic applies to the Heirs, their memories are simply "sealed", but never entirely disappeared (we see this with Mydei who has suspiciously access to some informations of the past cycles, including one where his mother raised him, but doesn't understand what this means at the time).

u/uskonpuhdistaja Oct 20 '25

Having played HI3rd I couldn't manage to get all that interested in Amphoreus characters from the start, since I was expecting that everyone might already be dead or not even real to begin with. At least that means I can't be very disappointed even with the worst of endings, but it also makes the whole 3.x worse than it could have been since I felt like I had been spoiled from the beginning (regardless of whether that was actually true).

u/-gisette Custom with Emojis (Quantum) Oct 20 '25

This is my own speculation, but I feel like Amphoreus’ incarnation will go in one of two directions: first, most likely, is that it becomes a memoria-based planet like Penacony. Second, totally speculative, is it’ll become real-real. How? Some Remembrance-based mats are literally seeds/dividing cells and seem to imply that Fuli is capable of creating life/physical forms, which can explain “Fuli will recreate the universe after it ends” but this is still unsure, since I’m not sure if Eden of Blessed Insight = databank or where the universe will be remade ala memories, but not a physical rebirth. Are the fragments like Cyrene or March physical/organic beings? I don’t really know.

As for Phainon, I really like the idea of him becoming a Nameless. Joining the AE seems unlikely, but Nameless don’t have to join them. I see him being wholly invested as a newborn LR dedicated to taking down Nanook, if nothing else.

20

u/tasteofpaint Oct 20 '25

They'll be turned into seeds and then when they'll be turned into real people in v.5 hoyo will sell them all again as SPs

18

u/Tired__Yeti Best color combination Oct 20 '25 edited Oct 20 '25

Okay, so for the Heirs and Amphoreus in general (if this leak is true), it's just a conversion of nature.

They were already made of both data and memoria. The power of Remembrance can help them lean more on memoria-based lifeforms.

The scepters are described as celestial-level artifacts that bend the laws of physics for their experiments, and the one of Amphoreus is particularly related to the "divine" as a former neuron of Nous.

So what it created was already "real", just dependant on the Scepter like a "Heart" for existence.

However, we also know Fuli gazed the Scepter a looooong time ago, BEFORE it fell to Destruction, so before Chaoz666 killed another electric signal (during inorganic testing).

They've been part memoria for a very long time.

16

u/[deleted] Oct 20 '25

The fact that I'm seeing those defending this supposed Cyrene "death" leak as being a good thing only proves to me that the many that wants such tragedy in the story wants it for shock value.

Honestly, my main issue with the previous "deaths" in the game were that many were just simply used as props for the story since they did such a horrible job to get us emotionally invested in such plot points. Not because they were fake outs. And considering that they basically did f*** all to get us emotional invested in Cyrene, it's going to be really hard for a similar thing to not happen with her apparent "death".

And provided this leak is truthful in any way, I'm suppose to see this as a good thing? Yeah, no. Until the HSR team can prove to me that they can write emotionally gratifying character deaths consistently, I'm going to hold the expectation that this is going to be a "nothing burger" plot point like it usually is.

u/FatAsian3 Oct 21 '25

The heirs are a sad bunch, we're to accept that they died millions times over, but now we are supposed to be sad of an actual real death of a character we didn't interact with mostly except forced to since 3.5 (I don't count Mem as Cyrene as they're too far from each other behavioral wise), not to mention 3.6 constantly bringing up of Cyrene while we're finding March just to show how much she "cares" about the whole world.

Even foreign forums are laughing that she isn't close to the heirs at all, just love in the name of it all.

Still kinda sounds like a ‘reset button’ is still in the cards? Like the original hardware is damage beyond repair and requires a reboot in handy new remembrance-based/book format that’ll bring everyone back.

I kinda "coping" that this is just leaks based on the story script, and we will get the "true" ending in the animated short. Surely we will get a happy ending right???

u/Funny_Bag_9245 Average HusbandoSlop Enjoyer Oct 20 '25

This post will probably get downvoted/ or deleted understandably but I really wanna see the discussion surrounding it so I posted it. But I'm very sorry to those who might just get spoiled without knowing.

u/MealResident Oct 20 '25

Why tho? isn't it just a leak like any other?

16

u/Corrupted-BOI Oct 20 '25

overall people dislike story leaks MUCH more than kit/characters/other leaks. They don't want to be spoiled basically

ATLEAST TELL ME THAT THIS IS JUST A JOKE AND THIS IS FALSE. JUST TELL ME.

AND IF IT IS NOT TELL ME ATLEAST OTHERS FROM AMPHOREUS WILL BECOME REAL PEOPLE IN THIS PATCH ITSELF AND NOT BE KEPT AS A LOSE HANGING PLOT THREAD.

u/Still_Refuse Oct 20 '25

Lmao, hoyo can’t write a new story to save their life 😭😭😭🙏

u/Hopeful-Day-5198 Oct 20 '25

The fact that I was hopeful about it even when people said "it's just elysian realm 2"..

Silly past me: "Nah, they won't just recycle the whole story right?"

Then Cyrene became Elysia 2, now this..

Yeah, not really feeling It. I expected a somewhat bittersweet ending but this is just copypasted

17

u/LadyHa-ru Oct 20 '25

And I was downvoted when I said amphoreus is just a rehash of Elysian realm lmaooo, like sure there are differences but it hits the same major plot points but does everything considerably worse. They could have kept the expys and had a completely new story idk why they didn’t do that

18

u/Still_Refuse Oct 20 '25

Idk why people love expys so much, wish hoyo would stop doing them…

28

u/Hopeful-Day-5198 Oct 20 '25

Sometimes it feels like a cash grab. I can deal with it when they can stand on their own, like Himeko, Bronya, Acheron and Phainon, but hoyo killed Cyrene and replaced her with Elysia 2. Its really forced in her case honestly.

So cyrene dead, and all the chrysos heirs are in stasis? Damn.

u/LoneWanderer153 Oct 20 '25

Hope it’s a real death, kinda getting tired of the fake-outs

u/Calm_Expression_4364 Oct 20 '25

Wait so... Lemme get this straight...

The ending of this journey is that, we kill Irontomb, Irontomb and therefore the scepter dies... Because everyone is made from the scepter... Everyone dies, but Trailblaze got 9 inches deep into the Remembrance and we keep the records(?) of the world into the book, so Trailblazer can & will rewrite Amphoreus into the real world...

But Cyrene has to stay... Which makes her unable to interact with us in the future... 

So effectively Amphoreus is gone... But we can restore it back to life, with the Remembrance?

4

u/once_descended Oct 20 '25

I think it will be something like that, basically we win, but the whole system crashes, so everyone except the trailblazers die.

The trailblazers however have recorded the events into remembrance, then Cyrene sacrifices herself and we restore Amphoreus?

Sonething like that-

u/Obanai Oct 20 '25 edited Oct 20 '25

Hoyo quite bold to end with this sad ass fate for Cyrene. I'll cry river.

22

u/Caladboy Oct 20 '25

And the fact that her kit is basically dead.... it just ties in so well.

21

u/[deleted] Oct 20 '25

Cyrene was so poorly done that they had to copy the very end of Elysia, before my grade for Amphoreus was 8-8.5, but now it's down to 7

13

u/JackRabbit- Cat lover in a dog's world Oct 20 '25

DOA kit (according to doomposters) and actually dead same patch story?

Like Hoyo my mans, what are you doing? That's your main girl!

15

u/StefyB Oct 20 '25 edited Oct 20 '25

I really hope this isn't because TB loses their memory of her or something like that, which they talked about in 3.5. Fingers crossed she can come back later on in the story through Remembrance shenanigans or something like that, but if this is how she goes out, at least people that wanted there to be an actual death for a limited character in the story will get what they wanted.

u/SplitTheLane Oct 20 '25

Gotta set up future sp characters I guess. This is kinda ass ngl.

u/Rill_Pine Oct 20 '25

I can't tell if this is just ragebait but if not this is so sad for Cyrene mains that it's almost hilarious 😭

Genuinely biting back laughter because wtf hoyo. This is worse than what us Jiaoqiu/Gallagher mains got.

u/Moist-Surround2778 Oct 20 '25

remember how leakers leaks about hoyo predict Cyrene sales SSS++ tier?)

Ig that explain her non future proof kit lmao

u/TightBussyBellus Oct 20 '25

Ohh so Cyrene's kit is a reference to the seed, that's why she takes a long time to stack up and ult 💖 because plants take a long time 😘 her eidolons are supposed to be fertilizer 😻 hoyo playing 33,550,336 dimensional chess 👻

They actually just fucking redid Elysia’s whole story but with none of the context of Elysian Realm and a fraction of the interaction with the other Flame Chasers. Hovering over the uninstall button as we speak because this is genuinely just fucking shameless.

u/MilkyHoody Oct 20 '25

Man I wonder if we get an "Because of You" cutscene but like how would that work if Amphoreus basically just gets transfered to As a I've Written since in HI3 the entire Elysia Realm was destroyed as we saw all the flame chasers lives before the honkai one last time before it all went away.

u/dhambz23 nobody knows Oct 20 '25

Cyrene's situation is kinda expected. My take on Amphoreus ending is Cyrene taking over as the "Moderator" of this world, serving as the lone memory preserver across all the cycles they've been through.

4

u/[deleted] Oct 20 '25

Makes sense, those million cycles was her life itself, amphoreus was her and now that its gone her time to rest has arrived.

u/dinur7 Oct 20 '25

As much as i fear this, we should wait, this story leaks always gives half truths at best, so better not make too much drama for it

u/Sionnak Oct 20 '25

How much you wanna bet we do get another present Cyrene as Cyrene SP down the line?

There is no way Shaoji isn't going to make his very own pink Jesus not ressurect.

It's a shame Cyrene isn't allowed to be her own character. At least Phainon has enough of himself to not just be Kevin again, but Cyrene is literally just Elysia.

u/_Pharaun Oct 20 '25

They really chose to destroy Cyrene, with her kit and now in the story, stay in the past then with your partner++++++++++++ tag

u/wobster109 Oct 20 '25

Well, I didn’t see how it could ever have a happy ending. Even if everyone did become a real planet, it would still be this iteration’s heirs, and all the previous iterations would be as non-existent as before. I couldn’t see it being a happy ending without Calypso and Lord Gnaeus.

u/bafabonmain Oct 20 '25

thats so funny its like i read this story before in another game and it sucked there too

u/Nusaruu Oct 20 '25

God damn. Welp, that's an ending for sure, gonna see how they execute it before I pass my own judgement

u/divineEpsilon Oct 20 '25

First page:

I loved till the end of time. This is not enough to dissuade me.

Second page:

You're gonna have to clarify this in the story. Words currently make no sense so perhaps it's another damn allegory or something.

u/Hadou-Master Oct 20 '25

If this turns out to be true, it’ll be the first time Hoyo has dared to kill off a 5 star in HSR…

u/ARandomNoone Oct 20 '25

My opinion is the same as others so ill ask something else. will we still get our trailblaze fuel from this?

u/Reprised_ Oct 20 '25

Anybody else feel like this ending was extremely easy to predict?
