The Conspiracy of Art, The Flesh of Images Walkthrough in Honkai: Star Rail 4.5

The Conspiracy of Art, The Flesh of Images sends you into Lodestar Tower to track down a strange noise, free the kidnapped Owlibert, and break out of a pixelated studio through a 2D platforming challenge. The segment ends with a fight in the Circular Office and a meeting with Nihilux.

Quick answer: Free Owlibert from the cardboard box on the sofa, enter the “Interplanar Jump! Difficulty II” portal, input the passwords Up, Right, Down, Left, Up, Right, Down, Left and later Right, Up, Left, Down, Right, Up, Left, Down, swap the middle-bottom frame with the middle-top frame in the Window Control puzzle, then defeat the IPC forces in the Circular Office.

Investigate the sound and rescue Owlibert

The quest opens inside Lodestar Tower with the objective to investigate the source of a sound. Head up the green ramp toward the sofa where the noise is coming from.

Interact with the cardboard box sitting on the sofa. This reveals the kidnapped Owlibert and immediately changes the objective to “Escape the Studio.” You can skip the dialogue that plays here.

Move to the pixelated portal on the wall. Interacting with it starts the “Interplanar Jump! Difficulty II” mini-game.

Clear the Interplanar Jump! Difficulty II mini-game

Inside the 2D mini-game you control Trailblazemon: Universe Form, which can sprint in an aimed direction to move between gravity rings. A short tutorial explains how to navigate these rings before the first section opens up.

Work through the first gravity section by moving across the sun and bubble gravity rings. Collect the Pixcoins along the way as you go.

Interact with the vibrating toy instrument to open the first password prompt. Enter the directional sequence below to let the Bizarre Melody play.

Password	Sequence
First	Up, Right, Down, Left, Up, Right, Down, Left
Second	Right, Up, Left, Down, Right, Up, Left, Down

Continue into the room built from TV monitors. Teleport through the screens and open the “Window Control” terminal to reach the frame-swapping puzzle.

In the Window Control puzzle, drag the windows to swap the middle-bottom frame with the middle-top frame. This aligns the gravity rings so you can cross them. Click the back button when you are finished to exit.

Cross the newly aligned rings, gather the Pixcoins, and open the first Basic Treasure chest. Then use the vibrating instrument again to enter the second password.

Navigate the final gravity rings while upside down, collect the remaining Pixcoins, and open the second Basic Treasure chest before heading to the exit.

Mini-game treasure rewards

The two Basic Treasure chests inside the mini-game hand over a mix of currency, relics, and quest materials.

Materials	Adventure Log, Lost Gold Fragment
Relics	Recluse’s Wide-Brimmed Hat, Recluse’s Refined Silk Robe

Fight through the Circular Office

Exiting the studio triggers a cutscene showing the Space Anchor activating, followed by the objective to fight your way out of the Circular Office.

Skip the cutscene and dialogue summary if you want to reach the fight faster. You will receive the “Everybody Make Waves!” item as the office section begins.

Clear the Level 90 IPC Employees and Security Soldiers as you push through the circular room toward the exit door.

Reach the exit door and defeat the last of the guards. Doing so triggers a dialogue with Nihilux, which marks the end of this quest segment.

You have finished the segment once the last guards fall and the conversation with Nihilux begins. If the studio exit does not open, check that both passwords were entered exactly as listed and that the Window Control frames are swapped correctly, since misaligned gravity rings block the path forward.
