Honkai Star Rail players are in for a major shake-up as leaks suggest significant changes to the challenging Memory of Chaos (MoC) stages. These leaks, while subject to potential adjustments upon formal announcement, provide a glimpse into what could be a more demanding and strategic endgame experience.
Memory of Chaos, a dungeon-style challenge within the Forgotten Halls accessible from the Astral Express Parlor Car, has been a crucial source of Stellar Jades in Honkai Star Rail. However, recent leaks hint at upcoming nerfs and tweaks to MoC, impacting stages 11 and 12.
Changes to Memory of Chaos 11 and 12 Lineups
Memory of Chaos 11
According to the leaked information, players will face a revised lineup in MoC 11. The upper part will feature Aurumaton Spectral Envoy, Automaton Direwolf, Aurumaton Spectral Envoy, and Gepard. In the lower part, players will confront Ice Out of Space, Aurumaton Gatekeeper, Svarog, and Aurumaton Gatekeeper. These changes introduce new challenges and require players to adapt their strategies.
Memory of Chaos 12
MoC 12 also sees alterations to its lineup. The upper part will include The Ascended, Abundance Sprite: Malefic Ape, and Abundant Ebon Deer. In the lower part, players will face Aurumaton Spectral Envoy, Stormbringer, and Aurumaton Spectral Envoy. These adjustments aim to provide a fresh and more challenging experience for players progressing through the endgame content.

Notable changes include the Abundance Sprite: Malefic Ape gaining 304,293 health, and The Ascended's health increasing from 264,357 to 278,935. The modifications to HP indicate a careful rebalancing of the game to maintain a challenging yet manageable experience.
