Sakura Samsara, also known as Open World, is a special area where Captains can fight Honkai Beasts and accomplish missions in an open world setting. Similar to a typical adventure game, there is no loading after entering, as the entire map is seamless. Enemies and collection nodes will spawn randomly and main storyline quests (as well as side Adventure Tasks) can be accomplished.
Monsters encountered in the storyline and roaming the open world use Dynamic Difficulty.
The Adventure Map will reset at 4 a.m. every Monday, Thursday, and Saturday. Collection points in the wild will be reset and refreshed on Monday only, and a new round of Adventure Tasks will become available, and you will be given an Adventure Rating based on your performance.
If you've already cleared the storyline for one round, the collection points in the wild will be refreshed only after the next time the Adventure Map is reset. During the one hour before the Adventure Map is reset (03:00-04:00), you will not be able to enter the Sakura Samsara map.
Adventure Rating[ | ]
Every time the Adventure Map resets, an Adventure Rating will be given to you based on all the actions you have completed including Adventure Tasks, Wild Collection, Elite Monsters, and Secret Events. Once Adventure has reset, the next time you enter the Open World, you will be given your Rating Rewards.
Higokumaru Training[ | ]
Yae Sakura found this strange creature in a barrel. She claims to be a human, but has ears and tails. She is a glutton and loves inari-age. She's got to be a fox.
Higokumaru is the adorable partner that unlocks after unlocking Samsara EX. Higokumaru serves Captains by attacking enemies in Open World and utilizing helpful Partner skills. Higokumaru only appears in Samsara.
Partner Skills[ | ]
Higokumaru learns a number of useful skills to assist Captains while they traverse the Open World. Skills are learned upon reaching certain levels, and Sakura Echo are used to level up Higokumaru. Sakura Echo can be gained from Storyline Stage rewards and Adventure Task rewards.

Storyline Missions[ | ]
Storyline missions can only be cleared once. After all Storyline mission are cleared for a Samsara, the next Samsara will be unlocked.
Depending on which storyline Samsara you're on, new gameplay elements will be unlocked in the Adventure Map.
First Samsara: Captains Lv. 18 and above may enter.
Second Samsara: Captains Lv. 30 and above may enter. Adventure Tasks and Wild Collection unlock.
Third Samsara: Captains Lv. 35 and above may enter.

Open World area: Only after completing the Extra Story stages will the new area be unlocked, you must first assign 2 Valkyries to infiltrate the Village Area and the Celestial Castle, and will be unable to go into another area once they are in battle.
Adventure Tasks[ | ]
Adventure Tasks can be taken and cleared once every Sakura Samsara reset period. Captains can take up to 4 adventure tasks at once. 5 if they have cleared Side Samsara at level 42. Each time a new task is chosen, players will be given an option between 3 different tasks to choose. If they wish, Captains can refresh these options up to 7 times for free every reset. This will cost 5 additional crystals each time after all free attempts are depleted. After choosing their adventure tasks, Captains can go into Sakura Samsara and complete the tasks chosen. They will be marked and tracked on the ground via a line of arrows.
Adventure tasks can be any range of activities such as defeating enemies, securing stealth kills, finding lost spirits, using bombs or spirit cannons, or fighting previous urgent mission bosses.
Urgent Missions[ | ]
Urgent Missions unlock after earning a certain number of from clearing Adventure Tasks (in the screenshot above, only 4 of the required 5 are filled). The bosses are typically much more difficult than typical enemies, and come with enhanced abilities, may run away when dropping below a certain amount of health, and will enrage after 90 seconds of battle. Once enraged, urgent mission bosses will be immune to all crowd control, gain enhanced attack speed and damage, and eventually begin to do extreme amounts of fire damage to surrounding enemies. Ensure that you're ready to take them on before your first strike!

Shrine Exchange[ | ]
The Shrine Exchange is a shop to create materials from items collected in Open World (Fusion) and to create fragments, jars, and stigmata from those materials (Forge). The Shrine resets every Monday, Thursday, and Saturday with the Open World.
Rewards are distributed on a D -> S scale, with increasingly better rewards. Try to complete as many objectives as possible to reach S rank each Samsara reset!
Progress can be checked from the main Samsara screen, but also from the pause menu while playing the Open World.
Elite Monsters[ | ]
Oh! Look at that pretty ring of glowing sakura petals. So pretty...wait! That's an Elite monster!
Elite monsters lurk randomly around the Open World, but are easy to identify by the glowing pink ring of petals that swirl around them. While they are more difficult than the normal monsters that roam the Open World (and are harder to kill with a stealth assassination), they aren't a bigger threat than Urgent Mission bosses.
Secret Events[ | ]
Secret Events are randomly placed enemy battles in the Open World. Before gaining Higokumaru's Expose Instinct partner skill, the trigger for Secret Events appears random, but after unlocking the skill the glyph to initiate is shown while stealthed. Higokumaru will also provide a warning by saying "Something is hidden around here...". The enemies that come out of a Secret Event glyph are similar to normal wandering enemies, but they cannot be stealth assassinated nor avoided once the Secret Event has been triggered.
Wild Collection[ | ]
The most popular feature of any open world RPG is the ability to rob the local population/scenery blind! Samsara is no different with Wild Collection that allows you to collect the materials needed for creating Shrine Exchange and Gourmet Festival recipes. Collection nodes are scattered all over the map and are relocated and replenished with every reset every Monday. Some nodes appear during daytime or nighttime specifically, while other nodes (commonly Lost Fire nodes) only appear while stealthed with Higokumaru's Expose Instinct partner skill. There are also rare boxes that contain rare materials that only reveal themselves when very close, however Higokumaru will notify that they're nearby with the phrase, "Something is hidden around here...". Some items are also in the Celestial Castle, so be sure to check there if a few are missing!
