A Poetic Trailblazer’s Guide to Clock Studios Theme Park’s 27 Chests

I still remember stepping through the gates of Clock Studios Theme Park—a realm woven from stardust and stagecraft, where every carousel tune hid a secret and every balloon pop echoed the laughter of Aventurine himself. Having survived his gambler’s theatrics, the park now lay open like a half-written play, its 27 treasure chests glimmering like forgotten lines in the script. Yet, can a place so whimsical truly be safe? Beneath the pastel skies, danger lurked in labyrinthine gardens and pinball pathways that defied gravity. How, then, does one claim all riches without losing oneself in the dream? Let me recount the path I carved, a poetic journey through wonder and warp trotters.

🌟 The Overture: Chests #1–5 and the Balloon-Filled Maze

I began at the Theme Park Entrance, where the Space Anchor hummed with celestial energy. Three chests awaited nearby—numbers #1, #2, and #3—each a simple testament to the park’s generosity. But the real adventure started between #2 and #3, where a Jigsaw puzzle lay slumbering. I ignited its mechanisms, and the labyrinth garden opened before me like a storybook maze.

Within those circular hedges, I chased the elusive Warp Trotter, a shimmering creature that scuttled toward riches. As I navigated, I scooped up Chest #4 and cornered the Trotter for its bountiful loot. Did the garden feel unsettlingly silent? That was the prelude to chaos.

Afterwards, I retraced my steps to complete the Jigsaw, and the labyrinth transformed. Mr. Stone Balloons materialized, rows of mischievous spheres waiting to be popped. I launched attacks, each burst a note in a percussive symphony. Clearing them all rewarded the storied Pac-Man achievement—a nod to ancient arcade legends. At the end of this balloon-lined path, Chest #5 materialized, a prize for my percussive patience.

🎢 The Bubble Pinball Waltz: Chests #6–7 and the Secret Party

With Chest #5 in hand, the Bubble Pinball machine beckoned—a contraption of glistening spheres and erratic trajectories. I had to solve its whimsical puzzle to cross into the next section. Using the first of four solutions I would later master, I launched myself toward the Crimson Calyx. There, Chest #6 perched like a guardian of the red blooms.

But the true magic lay beyond, in a hidden alcove reachable only by another pinball journey. I aligned the bubbles according to the second pattern, and the machine spat me into a secluded area. Chest #7 glowed there, and with it came the Secret Party achievement—a toast to those who venture off the beaten track.

🗝️ The Jigsaw’s Second Verse and the Lordly Trashcan’s Riddle

Retreating from the hidden party, I returned to the main plaza where a second Jigsaw puzzle awaited completion. Upon solving it, a gilded Lordly Trashcan—dubbed Hanu-Obsessed Bucket—stood sentinel, demanding answers in the spirit of the park’s mascot, Hanu. “What would Hanu do if besieged?” it asked.

I recalled the wisdom of previous explorers: Let out a grunt that sounds cool—Option 3. But the bucket pressed again: “What would he do at this point?” Again, Option 3, the same resolute grunt. To bypass its trial without combat, I chose that brazen mimicry. The reward was a chest and a chuckle from the trashcan itself.

🦊 Hanu’s Adventure: Embracing the Mascot for Chests #8–11

The path to Chest #11 demanded a transformation. I activated Hanu’s Adventure mode, dwindling down to the size of a cartoon fox. In this diminutive form, billboards became fortresses. I slipped behind one to claim Chest #8, a treasure hidden in plain sight.

Next, I sought a rocket launcher—a weapon incongruous in a fairy tale park. By firing it at a specific firework, I revealed a secret room where Chest #9 gleamed. Then, a blue rocket warped me skyward to snatch Chest #10 from a lofty perch. Once satisfied, I reverted to my normal form, activated the final Jigsaw, and then switched back to Hanu to collect its scattered pieces. Only then did Chest #11 become available, along with a locked door that swung open, unveiling the park’s inner sanctum.

💥 The Bubble Pinball’s Crescendo: Chests #12–21

Now within the deeper reaches, I harvested Chests #12 through #15 with ease. But to breach further, the Bubble Pinball machine returned, demanding a third configuration—the one bridging #15 to #16. I aligned the bubbles as the pattern dictated, and the machine catapulted me into a new sector where Chests #16, #17, and #18 lay scattered like autumn leaves.

Yet another pinball riddle awaited, this time to reach Chests #19 through #21. By following the fourth solution, I navigated the dizzying currents to collect them all, each pluck a triumph over the park’s geometry.

🎭 The Finale: Hanu’s Second Act and the Grand Treasure Hoard

Once I had gathered Chests #19–21, I reactivated Hanu’s Adventure to delve into the last hidden corners. In fox form, I uncovered Chests #22, #23, and #24, each a puzzle-box of its own. Exiting the mascot state, the final stretch revealed Chests #25, #26, and #27. The last one required a dance with another Lordly Trashcan, the Dramatic Bucket, which demanded a clandestine passphrase.

I approached with the confidence of a seasoned smuggler: “I’m your contact” (Option 1). To the question about passphrase, I whispered reverently, “SoulGlad above all!” (Option 2). The bucket nodded, and the final treasure was mine.

🌌 The Warp Trotter’s Secret Garden

But what of the Warp Trotter? The labyrinth garden, that circular artery at the park’s heart, was not only a place for balloon-fights. After the Jigsaw transformation, I revisited to find it still harboring the spatial creature. Its precise location: amidst the hedges, near where Chest #4 had rested. Catching it granted extra stellar jade and a sense of completion.

🎶 Epilogue: A Traiblazer’s Reflection

In the silent afterglow, I stood at the park’s peak, inventory brimming with 27 chests, achievements like Secret Party and Pac-Man emblazoned on my profile. The Bubble Pinball machines, those capricious orbs, taught me that even chaos has a pattern. The Lordly Trashcans reminded me that bravado can replace battle. And Hanu’s whimsy showed that sometimes, seeing the world from a different size unlocks wonders unseen.

How many Trailblazers overlook these treasures, seduced by the park’s surface gaiety? The year is 2026, yet the Clock Studios Theme Park remains a timeless enigma in Honkai: Star Rail’s ever-expanding cosmos. So I urge you, dreamer of the Astral Express, retrace my steps. Let the bubbles carry you, the balloons guide you, and the riddles entertain you. All 27 chests, and the memories carved within them, await those who dare to play the park’s grandest game. ✨
