Just completed the most mind-bending puzzles at Penacony Paperfold University College in Honkai: Star Rail, and I'm still buzzing from the experience! Ever wondered what happens when you fix all those quirky Dream Tickers scattered around campus? Let me tell you - pure satisfaction and a shiny achievement called 'Sunday Night Live'! And who doesn't love adding another trophy to their collection in 2025?

The Hidden Trophy Challenge

Remember how the Dream Ticker at Radiant Feldspar concealed that sneaky Boss Ticker? Well, the university campus has its own secret! After fixing all three Dream Tickers (which was no small feat, I might add), they assemble in the center of the university on the west side. But isn't it just like Honkai: Star Rail to make us work for these little rewards? 🤔

The Three Puzzling Tickers

So, what are we dealing with here? Three uniquely named Dream Tickers, each with their own personality:

  1. Unamused Ticker - Seriously, who named these things? 😂

  2. Not A Ticker - The irony is not lost on me

  3. Inaccurate Ticker - At least it's honest about its flaws!

My Battle with the Unamused Ticker

Let me tell you about the Unamused Ticker - this grumpy puzzle had me scratching my head for a good twenty minutes! It consists of four mini-puzzles that require rotating blocks, moving mirrors, and shifting bricks.

The process went something like this:

  • Rotate orange blocks (seriously, so much rotating!)

  • Create pathways with mirrors

  • Shift yellow bricks to fill gaps

  • Repeat until Clockie is happy

Have you ever felt like you're overthinking a puzzle only to realize the solution was staring you in the face the whole time? That was me with the Blue Block that needed three rotations. THREE! Not two, not four, but precisely three! Who designs these things?!

The Divinatory 'Not A Ticker'

Next up was 'Not A Ticker' which, despite its name, is definitely a ticker. The fascinating part? It offers a divination based on which Gold Gear you choose to take!

I spent an embarrassing amount of time redoing this puzzle just to hear all the divinations. My favorite was the third one, which oddly predicted my gaming luck for the next week. And would you believe it? I actually got that ultra-rare drop in Penacony's latest event! Coincidence? I think not!

The solution involved:

  • Moving yellow bricks in specific patterns

  • Rotating orange blocks (again with the rotating!)

  • Creating walkways with T-shaped bricks

  • Making decisions about which gear to take

The 'Inaccurate Ticker' Challenge

The final boss of this trinity was the 'Inaccurate Ticker' - and get this - it lets you choose your difficulty level! Of course, being the hardcore gamer that I am, I went straight for "Show me a real puzzle!" option. Would you have done any different? 😏

This one had me:

  • Sliding mirrors toward Clockie

  • Shifting yellow bricks strategically

  • Rotating orange blocks (I'm sensing a pattern here...)

  • Adjusting mirrors to create routes

The trickiest part was getting the timing right for rotating that Blue Block twice and then once more later. My fingers were practically dancing on the controls!

The Sweet Victory

After solving all three puzzles and watching the tickers assemble in the university center, I finally got my 'Sunday Night Live' achievement! Was it worth the brain strain and occasional fits of frustration? ABSOLUTELY!

Here's a quick recap of what I learned:

Ticker Name Difficulty Level My Time to Solve Frustration Level
Unamused Ticker Medium 20 minutes 6/10
Not A Ticker Medium-High 25 minutes 7/10
Inaccurate Ticker Player's Choice 30 minutes 8/10

Pro Tips for Fellow Trailblazers

If you're tackling these puzzles in 2025, here are some nuggets of wisdom from yours truly:

  1. Take screenshots of your progress - trust me, you'll thank me when you need to backtrack

  2. Listen to the divinations in Not A Ticker - they're actually quite entertaining

  3. Don't rush the rotations - I lost count multiple times and had to restart 🤦‍♂️

  4. Try all difficulty levels on Inaccurate Ticker - there are some unique dialogues

In conclusion, the Dream Ticker puzzles at Penacony Paperfold University College remain one of my favorite side activities in Honkai: Star Rail in 2025. They're the perfect blend of challenging and rewarding, with that classic HSR charm we've all come to love.

Now, who's ready to join me for the next hidden achievement hunt? I hear there's a new one involving the Lordly Trashcans that's absolutely mind-blowing! 🚀
