How to open the locked door in the Herta Space Station

First things first, you’re going to need to know where exactly this locked door is before you can unlock it. Make your way over to the Herta Space Station’s Base Zone and you’ll be met with two corridors. Head down the right corridor and you’ll find the locked door.

To unlock the Base Zone door in Honkai: Star Rail, you’re going to need to find 3 authentication cards to be granted access. Once you’ve found them, they’ll need to be combined to make the triple authentication verification card.

But where are these key cards? We’ve got you covered below.

How to find the key cards needed to open the locked door

Here, you’ll find the locations of all three key cards needed to open the door:

Key Card Location
First Authentication Access Key Card Master Control Zone - Herta Space Station: Talk to the Man with the Afro loitering in the area. Pester him 5 times and he will give you the first key card.
Second Authentication Access Key Card  

Master Control Zone - Herta Space Station: Start progressing through the "Road to Revival" mission by talking to Arlan.

Defeating the first boss in this mission will reward you with a key card.

Third Authentication Access Key Card   Storage Zone - Herta Space Station: Rearrange the bridges in the room until you have created a ramp. After doing so, you'll be able to snag the last key card from the ground.

  • Stellar Jade x30
  • Trailblaze EXP x30
