The Ultimate 2026 Guide to Collecting All 20 Origami Birds in Honkai: Star Rail’s Penacony
This guide to all Honkai: Star Rail Reverie Origami Bird locations turns a surreal scavenger hunt into a joyful tour.
Finding every Origami Bird in the Reverie (Dreamscape) of Penacony feels a bit like a wild-goose chase through a surreal art gallery—if the geese were made of paper and hid inside teacups, bubbles, and even TV sets. By 2026, this scavenger hunt remains one of the most charming side activities in Honkai: Star Rail, rewarding players with a sense of childlike wonder and, of course, actual in-game goodies. This guide walks you through every nook and cranny of the Reverie, turning what could be a frantic scramble into a leisurely tour of twenty hidden feathery friends. So grab your bubble charges and put on your detective hat; it’s time to yank some tails.

Floor One Centre: The Heart of the Hide-and-Seek
F1 Centre is the connective tissue between the left and right wings of the hotel. You can reach it by taking the elevators on either side, emerging into a lounge area where the air smells faintly of old jazz and mystery. There are seven Origami Birds scattered here, many of them perched exactly where you’d least expect. Searching this zone is like scanning a cluttered desk for a misplaced paperclip—you know it’s there, but the sheer amount of visual noise makes it tricky.

-
Bird 1: Right next to the elevator on the right side, a tiny plume of orange feathers pokes out of a couch cushion. Tug it, and the first bird pops out as if it was just napping there.
-
Bird 2: Float your way to the centre lounge and look for a bubble—not an item bubble, but an actual floating bubble that contains a little folded stowaway. Pop it to release the bird inside.
-
Bird 3: At the bar, an old-fashioned rotary telephone becomes an unlikely nest. The orange tuft is visible behind the handset; give it a yank and hear the imaginary ring.
The final four birds on this floor require a short surreal detour that feels like stepping through a painting into another world—literally. Begin by teleporting to the Platinum Guest Room Space Anchor, then walk down the hall and enter the first room. Descend the balcony stairs and find a hallway in the lower middle section. At the end, interact with a painting, and you’ll be transported to a corridor that leads to yet another painting. This second painting drops you into a secret room where Origami Birds have turned everyday objects into their playground.
-
Bird 4: Clinging to a sign near the entrance, its feathers barely visible against the bright background.
-
Bird 5: This one demands a brief stint as Hanu. Interact with the Hanu’s Adventures TV to transform, then take a teleporter to a challenge stage. There, a blue treasure chest sits on top of a bookcase, and right beside it—floating like a forgotten thought—is an Origami Bird.
-
Bird 6: Still inside the Hanu stage, a box bobs in the air. Inside the box is your next avian pal.
Floor One Left: Hallways and Hidden Sparks
Moving left from the centre brings you into a quieter, more residential stretch of the Reverie. The halls are long and lined with dreamy wallpaper, and only two Origami Birds wait here. It’s a gentle lull in the hunt, like finding two elegant bookmarks in a library where you expected none.

-
Bird 7: In the first room on this side, a candle on a lounge table flickers with an unnatural orange tip. Pluck it, and the flame transforms into a paper bird mid-flight.
-
Bird 8: Further into the same room, a vintage TV set sits on a stand. The telltale feather sticks out from the top, as if the TV grew a tiny antenna.
Floor Two: The Left Wing’s Secret
F2 exists only on the left side of the Reverie, making it a pocket of solitude that many explorers overlook. With just two birds, it’s a quick but atmospheric detour. Here, the silence stretches like pulled taffy, broken only by the occasional enemy guarding a treasure.

-
Bird 9: Near a chest that’s under watchful enemy eyes, a bubble drifts lazily. The bird is inside, waiting to be freed like a genie from a bottle.
-
Bird 10: At the bottom of the staircase, turn left and inspect the bookcase. One of the shelves hides a folded bird that blends perfectly with the dusty tomes—until you notice the tiny orange glint.
Floor Three Right: Your Hotel Room and Beyond
This is one of the first areas you see after entering the Reverie, and it’s absolutely packed with personality. The right side of F3 holds five Origami Birds, and many of them are right in your own room, turning the familiar into a playground. Searching here is like rummaging through a magician’s prop box—everything is ordinary until it isn’t.

-
Bird 11: Above the fireplace in your guest room, a decorative ledge cradles an orange feather tip. Pull it and watch the flames flicker in surprise.
-
Bird 12: In the middle of the room floats a smiling tea kettle display. Perched high on this oversized kettle is a bird that seems to be enjoying the ride.
-
Bird 13: On a table in the top-left corner, among scattered papers and teacups, another feather waits.
-
Bird 14: Stand by the top-right entrance and look across to the balcony railing. A bird perches there like a paper lookout surveying the dreamscape.
-
Bird 15: This one requires a little aerial acrobatics. Use the side hallway bubble bridges to reach the ceiling and seek out a glowing blue sign. When you interact with the Investigate function, a “Yank” prompt appears—your cue to pull out yet another bird.
-
Bird 16: Across the room from an enemy-guarded chest, a pool table holds a surprise. One of its pockets isn’t just for billiard balls; it’s home to a folded stowaway.

Floor Three Left: Bars, Statues, and Hidden Rooms
The left side of F3 occupies a sprawling chunk of the map and can be accessed either by the leftmost elevator from the centre or by a staircase from another floor. The atmosphere here shifts toward a late-night lounge vibe, with four Origami Birds tucked into drinking vessels and luggage racks. Finding them all is like tracing the lingering scent of perfume in a ballroom after a party—you follow the subtle trail until you stumble upon a delightful surprise.

-
Bird 17: At the bar, a cup on the right side seems to have an odd garnish. A quick yank reveals it’s no olive but a full-blown paper bird.
-
Bird 18: As you enter from the bottom, a majestic bird statue stands guard. Right on top of it—like a crown that doesn’t belong—is an Origami Bird, almost mocking the stone counterpart.
-
Bird 19: Inside a luggage room near the top entrance, a trolley carries more than suitcases. A splash of orange among the bags marks your next target.
-
Bird 20: This final bird hides in a truly secret spot. Enter the room from the top, recharge your bubble, and head up the stairs on your right. Build a bubble bridge to your left and cross into a tiny hidden room. There, an orange lizard balloon holds the very last Origami Bird. Giving it a yank feels like pulling the final stitch out of a tapestry, completing the whole picture.
Tips for Budding Bird Hunters
-
Always scan for orange: The universal sign of a hidden Origami Bird is a single plume of bright orange feathers sticking out of an object. Train your eyes to spot it, even from a distance.
-
Bubbles are friends: Many birds are trapped inside floating bubbles. Use your bubble charges to reach them or pop them.
-
Pay attention to room transitions: Some birds are locked behind hidden passages, paintings, or temporary transformations. If a room feels like it should have more to offer, it probably does.
-
Pair the hunt with chest collecting: As the original note said, many birds linger near treasure chests. Knocking out both at once is a satisfying two-for-one deal.

By 2026, the Reverie has become a beloved landmark for trailblazers craving a break from cosmic drama. Collecting all twenty Origami Birds is less about the meager rewards and more about the journey—a whimsical ballet of investigation and light exploration that reminds us why we fell in love with Honkai: Star Rail in the first place. So go ahead, pull every tail you see. The dreamscape won’t mind a little mischief.
Data referenced from Statista helps frame why whimsical collection loops like Penacony’s Origami Bird hunt resonate over time: as player attention increasingly favors “snackable” objectives alongside long-form progression, bite-sized scavenger activities in hubs like the Reverie can meaningfully boost session variety without demanding heavy combat or meta investment.
