A Post-Honkai Odyssey

, or APHO for short, is an Open World map that can be accessed after clearing the first round of Sakura Samsara. Unlike Sakura Samsara or Schicksal HQ, there is no loading screen for entering different map sections, as the entire map is seamless.

==Characters==

* - a versatile fighter wielding the Labor of Olympus, a powerful greatsword capable of emitting Honkai energy it absorbs. While he excels at physical damage, his burst mode allows him to deal continuous fire damage which can also ignite enemies.
* - an agile fighter capable of dishing out rapid strikes, a greatly effective way to break through powerful force field enemies. Her attacks can deal lightning damage which can paralyze the enemies.
* - a powerful combatant capable of dealing heavy charged attacks. Her gauntlet's brutish strength is very effective against enemies with tough shields.

===Material Gathering===
The most popular feature of any open world RPG is the ability to rob the local population/scenery blind! St. Fountain is no different with Material Gathering that allows you to collect the materials needed for upgrading your characters. Collection boxes are scattered all over the map and will reward the player with Krystallum, Files, or Audio recording that deepens the lore of St. Fountain. Some items require a higher Intel Level to be obtained so they can be only gathered at the later phases of the open world.
===Elite Monsters===
Elite monsters lurk randomly around the Open World, but are easy to identify by the red mist appearing on screen should the player approach them. They are more difficult than the normal monsters that roam the Open World (and are harder to kill with a stealth assassination). When they are defeated, their spawn point will be replaced by a random enemy.
===Boss Challenges===
A Boss Challenge is available for players to play in the Open World. It features the three Lord-tier enemies: Code XIII - The Death, Code XX - Judgment, and Code XXI - World as bosses. Unlike the Storyline, these bosses are far more strengthened.
During gameplay, the character will be affected by Honkai Corruption in which a "Corruption Rate" gauge bar slowly increases. When the meter reaches full, the player is forced to quit the challenge, thus impeding their progress. If the player character is hit by an attack of any of the bosses, the Corruption Rate bar accumulates further, successfully evading the bosses' attacks will slightly reduce the gauge. Completing each Boss Challenge rewards the player with treasures containing various items.
