Automatons are a common sight in Honkai: Star Rail Jarilo-VI, the second area Trailblazers will visit in their journey. In this snow swept land, players will come across most of these robots as enemies, although their initial purpose is to help people.
These Honkai: Star Rail Automatons are built on Old World technology, so it’s no surprise that many of them end up malfunctioning in the present day. Some others are also under the control of Svarog, a humanoid who’s initially an enemy of the Trailblazer’s party. In Forgotten Hall level 8 in Honkai: Star Rail, two of these robots must be taken care of if players wish to get the hefty reward of this early-game feature.
Forgotten Hall Level 8 Guide - Honkai: Star Rail
Level 50 Automaton Direwolf and Automaton Grizzly are the bosses players must beat in Forgotten Hall level 8 in Honkai: Star Rail. Both of them share a weakness to ice and Lightning, and they also have two extra Automaton minions.

Automaton Direwolf deals damage primarily via the Bleed debuff it applies. This boss can easily stack more than five Bleed stacks, which can be deadly if players ignore it instead of cleansing it. Other than the Bleed debuff, players should also pay attention to its Lock On Target, which will place a target icon on one ally. If this ally is not shielded when the Direwolf attacks the next turn, one random ally will be attacked after the target is hit. Because of this, players should remember to protect the marked ally with either a shield or taunt the Direwolf’s attention away.

Automaton Grizzly will start the fight with one Hound and Beetle, and will immediately summon two Automaton Spiders on its first turn. The Spiders enter the fight on its self-destruct preparation, which means if players fail to swiftly slay the summoned robots before their turn, they will explode themselves on the team, dealing large damage. On the other hand, if players defeat the Spider, they will detonate on their own team, reducing their own allies’ HP and Toughness by 60.
Players should also pay attention to the fact that the Grizzly can taunt, forbidding the Spiders from being targeted. Because of this, players should either:
- Bring an AoE attacker
- Quickly dispose of the Spiders before the taunt occurs
- Bring a cleanser to remove the taunt
