You Can Run, But You Can't Hide
You will encounter several small groups of enemies while searching for a way out of the Fragmentum. Hence, keep a team ready for combat and avoid agitating the elite monsters as they are set to a higher level compared to your characters.
Moreover, open every gate on your path and follow the marker which leads you to another portal, only to get ambushed by Bronya and her guards. After the encounter, she will initiate a combat phase where her shields will be vulnerable to Physical, Fire, and Imaginary elements. Thus, carrying Asta and Physical Trailblazer for this quest in Honkai Star Rail is advisable.
Once she is defeated, Sampo will crash the arena to abduct you to the Underworld of Belobog, where you will come across Natasha.
Rewards: Trailblaze EXP x600, Stellar Jade x80, Adventure Log x6, Condensed Aether x3, Trick Snack x10, Simple First-Aid Device x10
Hide-and-Seek
After interacting with Natasha, she comes outside to find March 7th talking to Hook and her friends. The trio will challenge you to a couple of hide-and-seek rounds where finding them should not be difficult in the limited area, except for Julian, who transforms into a suspicious adult with glasses, standing on the opposite side of the Great Mine's entrance. After finding all of them, Hook will take you to the Fight Club, where she spotted Dan Heng.
Rewards: Trailblaze EXP x300, Adventure Log x3, and Credit x4000

Rewards: Trailblaze EXP x300, Condensed Aether x1, Credit x4000
Once Fallen Into the Abyss
Together with Seele and Bronya, you will enter the Great Mine to help resolve the conflict between the miners and vagrants along the way. Proceed more profoundly into the area to reach the objective marker and defeat every enemy on the path.

A Sunset Rendezvous
Head to the Goethe Grand Hotel in Boulder Town to spend the night.

Your character will agree to help them in their adventure, concluding A Sunset Rendezvous quest in Honkai Star Rail.
Rewards: Trailblaze EXP x60, Adventure Log x3, Condensed Aether x1, and Credit x8000
The Past Will Return as an Avalanche
After observing Rivet Town, you must fight to the market square in search of supplies, only to find empty containers. Hence, it would help if you headed deeper into the area toward the objective marker. Surprisingly, a young boy named Eric appears, claiming he hid the resources to protect them from the enemies.
Now, visit the orphanage for supplies and learn about Bronya's backstory in Honkai Star Rail, followed by the encounter with Clara. After a brief conversation with her, collect the remaining materials.
Rewards: Trailblaze EXP x700, Stellar Jade x80, Adventure Log x6, Condensed Aether x3, and Ghost From the Past

Hand over the supplies to Natasha and meet Oleg, who plans to confront Svarog with your help. He hopes to settle the conflict peacefully, keeping an offensive counterplan up his sleeves.
Rewards: Trailblaze EXP x200, Adventure Log x5, and Credit x8000
To Rot or to Burn
With Sampo's lead, you will reach Svarog's Mansion in Honkai Star Rail, locked behind a large metal gate, which can only be accessed by collecting certification levels from some of the specific robots in the area. Refer to the link to answer their question correctly to avoid unnecessary combat.
Now, find Clara at the orphanage to get beyond the second gate. Additionally, equip an Ice or a Physical character beforehand to take down the Blaze Out of Space that sneaks up on her. To return the favor, she runs back to Svarog's layer.
Help her fix a vital power supply before confronting Svarog, who will engage in combat after a brief conversation. Keep a note that he is weak against Fire, Lightning, and Wind, so make sure to prepare your team accordingly. On defeat, he decrypts videos from his cache revealing his encounter with younger Cocolia, who banished him from the Overworld. Finally, talk to Natahsa to end this quest in Honkai Star Rail.
