Simulated Universe in Honkai: Star Rail is one of the most interesting gameplay in the game. After entering the simulation, players have to battle enemies, and after each room, they can choose which route to take. Available routes include options like combat, Elite, occurrence, and transaction. All of them have their own pros and cons, but among them, occurrence is likely the players' favorite option.
Not only for its various effects, but choosing occurrences also allows people to quickly fill up their Simulated Universe Index, which rewards Stellar Jade the first time Trailblazers come across the special event. Among the many occurrences in the Simulated Universe, the Insect Nest is one of the most common to appear.
Honkai: Star Rail – Cosmic Altruist, Con Job, & Merchant Guide (Simulated Universe Occurrence)
Cosmic Altruist (Part 3) is surprisingly not a scam, unlike the other Honkai: Star Rail events, Cosmic Con Job (Part 2) & Cosmic Merchant (Part 1).

After starting the Insect Nest occurrence in Honkai: Star Rail Simulated Universe, players will get two options; go deeper into the insect nest, or stop at the entrance of the nest. Stopping will give players 100 Cosmic Fragments immediately, whereas the first option branches into two more. If you choose to hug it, you'll get a 3-star Blessing and the Insect Web Curio. If you decide to wait for the danger that lurks in the nest, you'll get a 2-star Blessing at the cost of 50% HP from all your characters.
In the Simulated Universe: Swarm Disaster in Honkai: Star Rail, there are extra choices if you choose the Destruction or Preservation Path. The former gives three random 1-2 star Blessings for surviving a 3-wave battle against the Swarm, whereas the latter is far less risky, granting one 1-2 star Blessing of Preservation and one 1-2 star Blessing of Propagation at no cost.
Insect Web Curio In Honkai: Star Rail
Insect Web Curio in Honkai: Star Rail is considered a Negative Curio, but it has both good and bad effects. The Insect Web Curio places the Parasitized debuff on the character with the highest ATK, causing them to lose 20% of their current HP at the start of every turn. However, in return, the character will also gain a whopping 50% extra ATK. If the debuffed unit is knocked down, this debuff will be transferred to a random character.
Basically, if players have sufficient Honkai: Star Rail healer, like Luocha, then this Curio is more of a buff than a debuff. However, if the team is lacking a proper healer, it's highly advised not to take this Curio. The debuff will never disappear, and the Curio will take effect in every battle for as long as you have it. Fortunately, there are some ways to get rid of a Negative Curio, like using a Curio that replaces all Curio, or through some Occurrences.
