So let’s trot along through our Honkai Star Rail warp trotter guide.

What is the Honkai Star Rail warp trotter?

Honkai Star Rail warp trotters are non-hostile, pig-like enemies that attempt to flee as soon as they see you. If you’re quick enough to engage them in battle, you have a limited amount of turns to defeat them before they run away. Upon defeat, they drop a bounty of rewards.

In this Hoyolab post discussing scenes and Honkai Star Rail maps, Hoyoverse describes warp trotters as interdimensional creatures lost among the stars that spend most of their lives gathering, eating, and escaping.

How do I find Honkai Star Rail warp trotters?

Warp trotters show up at set locations around the different maps. You can see whether there’s a warp trotter that you haven’t caught yet on your local map. Simply tap on the drop-down arrow next to the treasure chest icon at the top-left of your screen to see a breakdown of the warp trotters, treasure chests, and challenges in the area.

So far, here are all the locations that we know warp trotters appear in:

Herta Space Station warp trotter locations

• Base Zone – up the corridor to the north-west of the ‘reception centre’ space anchor
• Storage Zone (first floor) – in the room to the south of the ‘outside the control centre’ space anchor
• Supply Zone (second floor) – in the first of the two rooms to the south-east of the ‘space parts warehouse’ space anchor

Jarilo-VI warp trotter locations

• Outlying Snow Plains – near the northern edge of the map to the west of the ‘long slope’ space anchor
• Backwater Pass – in a corridor to the south-east of the ‘leisure plaza’ space anchor
• Silvermane Guard Restricted Zone – in a corridor to the north-west of the southern space anchor
• Corridor of Fading Echoes – in a corridor to the south-west corner of the map
• Everwinter Hill – along the path that leads down from the central platform

How do I defeat a Honkai Star Rail warp trotter?

So, you’ve managed to engage a warp trotter in combat – now what? Luckily, warp trotters can’t attack you, but they do summon other enemies to defend them. It’s important to focus on the warp trotter first, though, as it will escape if you waste time tackling its pals.

Warp trotters are weak to physical, quantum, and imaginary attacks. You can also stop them from running away through certain debuffs such as freeze or imprison. If you’ve got Honkai Star Rail’s Welt, his ultimate is brilliant for buying you time against warp trotters – though ice characters like Honkai Star Rail’s March 7th and Honkai Star Rail’s Herta can also be handy, though a little less reliable, especially as warp trotters aren’t weak to ice.

Here are all the warp trotter skills, so you know exactly how long you’ve got until they make their grand escape.

Warp trotter abilities

Warp trotters generally use their ‘S-S-S-Scared’ ability on their first turn, so your priority should always be downing them as quickly as possible before those two turns are up.

If the warp trotter flees, you need to leave the area and come back later. It will respawn again, and you can take another shot at taking it down before it runs away.

What rewards do the Honkai Star Rail warp trotters drop?

In addition to a standard selection of battle rewards, Honkai Star Rail warp trotters drop 60 stellar jades. Of course, stellar jade is the currency you need to buy passes that you can use on the Honkai Star Rail banners, and, for a relatively easy fight, 60 stellar jades is a pretty nifty reward – so those warp trotters are certainly worth the trouble.
