Lygus Leak Hints at Major Twist in Honkai Star Rail 3.2

As Honkai: Star Rail edges closer to Version 3.2, new leaks are giving fans plenty to speculate about. Among the most intriguing is the introduction of a new character: Lygus, a mysterious figure tied deeply to the Amphoreus arc. As the game wraps up Version 3.1, with banners for Mydei ending soon and Castorice poised to take the spotlight, attention is quickly shifting toward the future.

The upcoming patch, officially announced in the 3.2 livestream, confirms new playable characters Castorice and Anaxa, along with a new Trailblaze Mission chapter split into two parts. These quests will deepen the lore of Amphoreus, but according to leaker Uncle Greekmilk, Lygus might be the one to watch.

Who is Lygus? Leaked Details and First Impressions

 

According to the leak shared on Reddit, Lygus is an intelligent machine with a sleek and striking design. He reportedly has gray skin, gray horns, a black visor-like helmet covering his eyes, and shoulder-length hair. Surrounding him are other Amphoreus warriors, suggesting a leadership role.

Leakers claim Lygus is:

  • A Pathstrider of Erudition
  • Part of the Amphoreus Council of Elders
  • The administrator of Amphoreus
  • Gazed upon by Nous, the Aeon of Erudition

Interestingly, Lygus is said to have come from another dimension and possesses knowledge about Amphoreus that no one else has. These clues point to a deeply embedded figure in the current story, potentially holding secrets that could shift the entire trajectory of the Eternal Land campaign.

Lygus’ Role: Savior or Saboteur?

The leak implies Lygus may act as a wildcard in the Flame-Chase Journey, a mission where the Chrysos Heirs seek to save the Eternal Land by collecting the Titans’ Coreflames. If Lygus truly knows the truth behind Amphoreus and is choosing to withhold it, it may suggest a more complex agenda.

Could he be obstructing salvation efforts because he sees a larger danger, or is he simply acting in self-interest? His rumored estranged relationship with Nous, the Aeon of Erudition, adds another layer. While he follows the Path of Erudition, he may not align with Nous’ vision. This could position him as a rogue intellectual, someone who values knowledge but uses it in ways that deviate from the Aeon’s ideals.

If Lygus is no longer under Nous’ gaze, this might also explain potential friction with another Erudition figure, The Herta, who is rumored to have interactions with him in Versions 3.2 and 3.4.

Implications for the Amphoreus Story Arc

Honkai: Star Rail’s Amphoreus region is already confirmed to be shaped by three major Paths. Two of them – Remembrance and Erudition – are known. The third remains a mystery. As a high-ranking member of Erudition’s influence in Amphoreus, Lygus may be aiming to consolidate control, similar to how Sunday attempted a coup in Penacony.

He may be working from within the Council of Elders to subtly hinder progress made by the Flame-Chase Journey. Alternatively, he might be guiding events behind the scenes toward a resolution only he understands. The mystery surrounding his alignment and motivations will be critical to the upcoming chapters.

Could Lygus Become a Playable Character?

For now, leaks indicate that Lygus is an NPC, but there’s no denying that his unique design stands out. It doesn’t resemble generic NPCs, sparking speculation about whether HoYoverse has future plans for him. His connection to the Erudition, deep lore relevance, and complex design suggest he could transition into a future boss or even a playable unit.

This wouldn’t be the first time a heavily story-integrated NPC eventually became playable. For now, it’s all speculation, but one worth keeping an eye on.

When Does Honkai: Star Rail 3.2 Release?

Based on the usual patch cycle, Honkai: Star Rail 3.2 is expected to release in early April 2025. If these leaks hold, players will be formally introduced to Lygus in one of the two Trailblaze Missions centered around Castorice and Anaxa.

The Eternal Land narrative is heating up, and with Lygus at the center of it, we may be heading toward a major plot twist that reshapes what we know about Amphoreus.
