Relics are presented a few hours later Honkai StarRail, but it will take you a while to accumulate decent ones. Thankfully, one of the best ways to farm relics is coming up soon after. With that in mind, you’ll want to know how to do it and what the rewards are. This is our guide to the caves of corrosion In Honkai StarRail.
Honkai Star Rail Caverns of Corrosion explained

The best way I can describe Caverns of Corrosion is that they are repeatable dungeons that reward you with relic sets. There are a few in the different areas you visit, and each one has a special effect that modifies the battles taking place there. You must use 40 Pioneering Power to accept one.

Six levels of difficulty are available in Caverns of Corrosion (unlocked with your balance level). Although the enemies remain the same, the relics will have higher rarities.
How to unlock caves of corrosion
Caverns of Corrosion first become available during a Trailblaze mission The stars are cold toys, which is part of a questline that requires Trailblaze Level 24 to start. Some will appear on your map retrospectively, others will appear as you encounter them in future areas.
If you are like me and have spent some time gaming Genshin Impact, you’ll see the resemblance to the artifact-rewarding Domains of Blessing for this game. A key difference from Caverns is that they don’t change on a schedule. You can farm your relics any day you like.
