Man, I feel like I could write an essay about the whole war section on act IV. It has become one of my favorite parts of Genshin alongside Furina’s trial. It is so well crafted to guide the players through a narrative and through certain feelings, and reading the comments in this video and others, just reinforces my view on it. So here we go! Almost everyone started lighthearted about the war, they saw the war map and the first mission as a cool and fun minigame, the gimmick of this archon quest like the trials back in Fontaine. And then, look! You can choose what mission you can do next, it's a fun CYOA mission type? you observe the map, seeing some cool curiosities here and there, like Capitano fighting on the south, Mavuika on the north or a fatui group on that camp at the southeast you have raided a couple of times in your free time. Then, the game starts to slowly change the tone, never too on the nose: the sky gets cloudy, a special weather with the clouds having a slight tint of green and blue, unlike the dark clouds of rain we usually have, the death counter slowly rises, you open the map and the ruins where capitano fought, are covered in the purple mist of the abyss. Then the first cutscene happens, the abyss opens that ominous void darkening the sky even more, that camp you ignored gets overrun, the mist starts to spread, the deaths rise to the thousands, the map isn’t updating anymore, the second group of survivors you go to rescue is gone, only their death bodies are left. Then the miasma falls down from the sky, you go to investigate only to find more death as that thing fell of top of a caravan, killing everybody on the spot, leaving behind a spawn beacon behind a thick shield that you can’t scratch. You continue to the next mission, and on the way you finally know why the info stopped flowing, the Scions of the Canopy’s home has fallen, the platform, overrun by rift-hounds, the information network gone with it, leaving you blind in the fog of war, and yet, it doesn’t stop. There’s a Rhino laying on the ground ahead, not even those kind beings, that you know by a fact that are tough as a mountain can’t ignore the abyss, the children of Echos now have to flee their homes as well, and then… Chuychu is gone, another number that joins the death count, a list that adds to the hundreds by now. You carry her to the Coliseum and leave her to rest on a bed of flowers, the moral couldn’t be lower, going outside, you can find a lonely young Yumkasaur at the main entrance barking towards the bridge, waiting for a handler that will likely never return… But not everything is lost. Chasca has awoken her ancient name, Mavuika plan is on its way, inside the coliseum you can see that doctor you saved before, that even at her old age keeps helping those that need her skills, and even if she doesn’t know where her son is, she believes with her whole heart that he will survive. Outside you find that scared guy you talked with at the start of this whole thing, the one you comforted two times already, he’s alive and thanks you for your words, for taking the time to say you would remember him, that maybe without those words, he wouldn’t have made it. Down the stairs there’s more, those survivors you helped made it back against all odds, even with the heavy weight of seeing all their comrades fall in front of them, they made it back to safety. With a newfound determination, you go to the ceremony and witness present and past, unite against the powerful enemy that is the abyss. Powered up, Mavuika shines bright, her hair turned into a wild flame like before, the mosaic on her back shaped like a sun. In a blink, she shoots herself up and illuminates the dark sky like a damn flare, challenging the void and the abyss itself to a rematch. Backed up by the song of resurrection, you charge headfirst alongside your friends and other warriors from all the tribes, you destroy the abyss's beacons together, weakening the shield of the spawner, you dart towards the third one just to suddenly see how a fireball falls onto those pesky rift-hounds as Mavuika decides to give some support artillery, not letting her people fight alone. You destroy the spawner and quickly move to the next one, and then the next one, Mavuika getting more and more accurate each time, until she just annihilates the beacons with three shots. Out of nowhere the camp you decided to help before the miasma fell, joins you too with a cheeky remark and together destroy the third spawner, weakening the hold of the abyss in the land. You see all your friends doing their part too, they liberate their tribes, Ororon rushing to help Chasca fight back just to be received with the news that she alone took care of the abyss in her home, finally being able to avenge her dear sister. You return to the coliseum and defends the gates with everything you have, seeing for a second the death count rise above the five hundred just to immediately come back down, the warriors fighting all around the land rising up again and again, fighting for their nation as they all chant together “FOR NATLAN!”. Mavuika finally gathers enough strength to put an end to the fight, and charges a punch, that destroys the void and everything on its way, clearing the dark clouds and even cutting a hole in the fake sky itself. People cheer as victory has been achieve, they hug and drop their weapons tired but happy. Relieved we join the people at the bar, celebrating our victory and canting about how we are going to destroy this threat once and for all, the warriors and Fatui drink together, in the corner of the room you can see that old doctor reuniting with her son, at least for this night everyone can finally sleep in peace. And yet… the quest doesn’t end there, it ends on the outpost outside the coliseum, in a room lighten up by candles as an altar has been risen inside an old tower, a monument to the fallen, friends and NPC you will never be able to talk or see again, a scar that will always remain in your world from now on, a reminder of the war you fought that day, just like that hole in the sky.

Finally, the perfect gym music.

First time a really felt helpless and desperate in Genshin ... like, I want war, its nation of war, but damn .. 10/10 ..

Im glad they learned that if you got an amazing leitmotif (natlan's theme) you use it as many times as you can. I loved fontaines main theme leitmotif but you dont get many versions of it.

コッペリアの葬送/コペリウスの辞別が、戦闘時に相手のモーションに合わせて音量上がる演出大好き

Timeless

What baffles me is that the Abyss that’s attacking Natlan isn’t even known abyss organization like the Abyss Order and yet the attacks and invasion are so well coordinated that it would cause a devastating casualties.

13:57 sempre curto essa tocando durante a quest 😍

why the 1st ost remind me the summer island before 2.0 nd 3.0 ????

Best channel name so far! How are YOU today?

the entire time i was just yelling "For Chuychu!"

Blaze to Natlan 🔥

this questline gave me ptsd flashbacks from burning darnassus

Natlan with its OST alone is peak, the archon quests are easily one of the best and tied with Fontaine, if not better. And the best part is we're still in 5.1, there is so much more to come.

Soundtrack 8 and 9 be giving minecraft feelings😭🙏

5:08 ts goes HARD

Heart Beating Moment 🫡❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

Ati kweli mwahofuni kifo?

31:14 is calm

Favorites: 00:05:06 04 - Nocturnal Illumination (Night) 00:18:59 13 - Ballad of Many Waters (Day) 00:29:05 18 - Leisurely Days in Fontaine (Day) 01:03:05 39 - Withered Wreath of Flowers

TAKE - NATLAN - BACK !! remind me of OG mass effect 3 take earth back trailer.

Wish I felt the same as everyone else in the comments. Maybe I was just out of it when I played the quest

This is cinema.

💙🫂

Absolute banger As someone who has been listening to Two Steps From Hell since their first album It has the same vibes

FOR NATLAN!!!!!

Haven't felt this hyped since the climax of Sumeru's. I knew something like this scene was coming, but it was still thrilling to finally experience after all of the tension.

When Mavuika Turns on Immortality Cheat Code.

NATLAN NO TAME NI!!!!!! FOR NATLAN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i just love when those bell rings

This game is determined to break my heart, I swear. And it's WORKING.

You can tell in this scene there's something more powerful than just the divine throne or the Pyro Archon. The history and legacies, memories and ancient names collected over the years are what really drives this movement. You don't see power in her eyes, you see something much more unique and stronger; you can see hope.

definitely seeing this song be playing as one of the civ's ost when playing games like Civ 6. it's just so epic. if Liyue reminds us of living a peaceful life at home, then Natlan reminds us of living a glorious life of defending your home & making epic journeys 🔥

Thanks, what a wonderful mix! I haven't play Genshin Impact for a whole minute but I love its music so much

War is the most horrifying thing that should not exist. Not in RL, not even in a game :(

17:16 It's the most fantastic melody since Port Ormos, I didn't think there would be another one that I would love as much.

2:43 feel like climax of war and everybody going all out when they almost give up🔥 feel like final war but natlan still 5.1 LETSS GOO🔥 FOR NATLAAAN!!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥

FOR NATLAN !!

Es precioso ❤

Mavuika: No one fights alone Also Mavuika: I will go to fight the abyss in the night kingdom alone

It sounds like the feeling of soldiers heading straight to the front lines right after a military parade. Like in 1941 Moscow.

Next year marks the 80th anniversary of the victory in the world anti fascist war. I would like to wish everyone an early happpy Victory Day!

I like how the Buildings in the Fontaine city look like playsets that were put in a room.

Which part of OST is this??!?

I'm feel so alive after a devastating lost of many people in Natlan. I was fired up while destroying abyss while this music plays

06 - Raven Gloss of Darkness always hits hard, for me it associated with Neuvillete for some reason: beautiful yet sad

Sounds almost the same as the Natlan main theme but also with many differences....does this version have a independent name?

natlan

Act IV is Genshin at its best, and was one of the most immersive and impactful gaming experiences I've ever had. It's up there with the final chapters of God of War: Ragnarok and Tears of the Kingdom. The narrative, the combat, the characters, the UI, the mood and atmosphere transitions from bright/fun Natlan to despair to triumph culminating in this musical masterpiece. Absolute cinema.
