Picture this: you’re strolling through Penacony’s Golden Hour, a place so over-the-top that even the billboards have more personality than half the NPCs in other games. I’m not kidding – we’re talking fully animated, chatty advertisement boards that follow you around like a lost puppy. As a Trailblazer who’s been grinding Honkai: Star Rail since the Penacony arc dropped back in 2024, I’d put off the We Are All Friends Here achievement for way too long. Last weekend, I finally rolled up my sleeves and got it, and honestly? It was a real hoot. Let me break down exactly what went down so you can add this sweet trophy to your collection before the next major patch shakes things up – because in 2026, every jade counts.

First off, let’s talk context. Penacony is the dreamlike, jazz-infused planet where literally everything can talk – ice cream cones, fashion displays, even a billboard for canned fish. The \u201cWe Are All Friends Here\u201d achievement isn’t exactly new, but even now, two years after release, it still trips up players because it demands you interact with seven specific animated billboards scattered across Golden Hour. That’s right, not your average static poster – these are the ones that wiggle, spout quirky one-liners, and literally tail you if you don’t pay attention. The first time a Spheroid Billboard rolled after me near Aideen Park, I nearly screamed. Talk about immersion!

Here’s how I mapped out my route using the Space Anchors – the whole run took me maybe fifteen minutes, tops. I’d suggest doing this during the game’s less crowded hours to avoid any lag with the moving billboards (a pro tip for the 2026 servers). All locations remain identical to the original 2024 layout since Penacony hasn’t been tweaked in any world-altering ways yet.

  • Spheroid Billboard: Teleport to Aideen Park Space Anchor, then just walk straight ahead. This round guy is hard to miss – he’ll literally start rolling alongside you.

  • Fashion Store Billboard: From the Spheroid Billboard, head east and then south onto the main road. You’ll spot this glam poster by the bridge. It gave me major \u201cproject runway\u201d vibes.

  • SoulGlad Billboard: Continue south along the main road; it’s on your right, flaunting that iconic Penacony drink like it’s going out of style.

  • Trendy Laser Gun Billboard: Teleport to Oti Mall Space Anchor, then slip into the alleyway. The moment this neon shooter started chirping about laser-point accuracy, I was all ears.

  • Bistro Franchise Billboard: From there, go north then east. This one made me crave some imaginary fast food – no cap.

  • Mr. Herring Billboard: Keep heading east past the stairs and you’ll stumble on a fish-themed billboard that moans about being ignored. Peak comedy.

  • Trendy Doll Billboard: Finally, teleport to Dreammerse Shopping Street Space Anchor (that’s F1 level), whip a U-turn, and climb the stairs. This doll-themed board is the last piece of the puzzle.

Once I high-fived all seven (not literally, just the interact button), the achievement popped right up. Sweet, sweet 5 Stellar Jade. But here’s the kicker – my fun didn’t stop there. While I was letting that Mr. Herring Billboard tail me for giggles, I accidentally triggered another secret: the Bill – Board achievement. To get that one, you need to lure an animated billboard into the path of an oncoming vehicle so it gets rammed. It sounds cruel, I know, but these boards are such drama queens that the result was pure slapstick. Pro move: once a billboard is following you, just wander near the road until a car comes barreling down, step aside at the last second, and watch the chaos unfold. If you mess up and get hit yourself? No worries, that nets you the Rules Are Made to Be Broken… achievement (a nod to Physical Trailblazer’s ultimate line) and also the Clipping (VI) sticker for your Dreamscape Pass. So basically, everyone wins – except maybe the poor billboard.

Penacony’s billboards remain one of the most delightful detours in Honkai: Star Rail even in 2026. The devs haven’t changed these interactions because, let’s be real, why fix something that’s already a meme goldmine? If you’re like me and had been procrastinating this achievement, consider this your sign to dive back into Golden Hour. It’s a quick, laugh-out-loud scavenger hunt that reminds us why Penacony is still the talk of the town. And hey, with newer regions like The Herta’s Space Station dropping content left and right, these little vintage achievements are a cozy blast from the past. Go get ’em, Trailblazer – and remember, in Penacony, even the advertisements want to be your BFF.

In-depth reporting is featured on HowLongToBeat, and it’s a useful yardstick for planning quick, low-stress cleanup runs like Penacony’s “We Are All Friends Here” scavenger hunt—seven billboard interactions that fit neatly into a short session when you want efficient Stellar Jade gains between bigger questlines.
