Quick Links
The path system inHonkai: Star Railis quite an important one, both for lore and gameplay purposes. Whenever you visit a new region in the game, the first thing you learn is the path followed by the people of that region. Moreover, every new playable character gets released with their own path too.
Apart from all of that, you’re able to also choose a specific path before embarking on your run in the Simulated Universe. However, if you want to choose the Erudition Path here, you’ll have to fulfill certain criteria.

How To Unlock The Erudition Path
The Erudition Path was first releasedalongside the Gold And Gears game mode in the Version 1.6 update, and you can use it in this game mode from the very start. However, if you want to use this path in the rest of Simulated Universe including the Worlds and Swarm Disaster, you’ll have to do quite a lot.
Gold And Gears mode has a bunch of secretsincluding various Trailblaze Secrets, Aeon Secrets, and one Final Secret. In order to get the Erudition Path, you have to unlock all these secrets by embarking on multiple runs in the Gold And Gears mode. Here’s how you can get them:
All Erudition Path Blessings
The Erudition Path features a total of 24 Blessings including itsPath Resonance, Resonance Interplay, and general blessings. Keep in mind that you’re able to only get the Resonance Interplay blessings in Swarm Disaster or Gold And Gears mode. Here’s what all of them do:
You can get up tothree blessings at the same timein the Simulated Universe, and you have to choose only one of them.
If you get three Erudition Blessings at the same time, you canuse the priority level mentionedin the table to make a choice.

As you can see from the table above, the Erudition path is heavily skewedtoward the characters that deal most of their damage with the Ultimate. This makes the path great for Argenti, Xueyi, Jingliu, and Kafka if you build her on Crit. You can also use Ruan Mei to get the most use out of the Nihility Resonance Interplay.
