When it comes to exploring the rich history of Honkai Star Rail, trash cans are the last thing you'd think to look at. However, since the beta was launched, fans have discovered some fascinating discoveries in the depths of these deceptively attractive containers, all of which add a new meaning to the phrase 'one man's trash is another man's treasure.'
So, how did this all begin? I'm sure we're all guilty of poking our noses around anything that has that elusive sparkle that allows us to see it when we're out there. Honkai Star Rail's trash cans also lure you in with this lovely hint.
Many players (ourself included) couldn't help but notice the soft, tender, unconstrained, and tactile surface of these illustrious, shining cans in the second and third Honkai Star Rail beta, as well as the most recent final beta. Soon, we were drawn into the mystery of the Garbage King.
What do we know about the Honkai Star Rail trash cans?
After sniping around the Honkai Star Rail trash cans a couple of times, things get strange fast. Even if we ignore the bizarre beauty of the 'world's most beautiful garbage can, there are still plenty of questions swirling around our heads.
Who is Tatalov? What is Belobog Sausage? Who was the mysterious letter intended for? And, above all, who is the mysterious Honkai Star Rail Garbage King? With his steadfast assertion that we crossed the line by sniffing his cans, part of me hopes we never find out.
Regardless, the truth, like a pleasant, alluring, golden glow in a trash can, is difficult to resist. After all, if you want to know a city, look up its garbage — and at least you may get to borrow some credits while you're there.
