How to Complete Morose Monsters in Honkai Star Rail
Morose Monsters is the main questline for the Vignettes in a Cup event, and it’s fairly straightforward. Justmix drinksaccording to the customers’ preferences — whether that be bitter, sweet, refreshing, or whatever request — and then help them solve their problems with a bubble puzzle or a battle here and there when the quest calls for it.
There are only two things to watch out for. DuringMorose Monsters (III), you’ll be asked to recall the drink that Siobhan “specially” prepared.The bottom layer is black, the middle layer is blue, and the top layer is white.
Lastly, you’ll have to make some choices inMorose Monsters (V). Here are the correct doors and answers for that quest.
Other than some battles here and there, that’s all there is to the Morose Monsters questline. The real meat of the event comes from mixing drinks and discovering recipes, though, so that’s the next step.
