Some people say something like: “It doesn’t count, it’s just NPCs”. But I think this latest Archon quest was beautifully made. Slowly losing all hope, seeing dead bodies of Natlanians, Fatui and Saurians (and thinking something like “They fought so bravely, but that wasn’t enough…”), simply feeling how terrifying war is…
it hit me hard when i noticed the barricades set up outside the entrance to the canopy where people were ready to fight and then you return there later to find it destroyed 😢
@@revalitexdi I honestly don't think natlan will have a happy ending Something will happen that will completely turn the traveller to the fatui side ...might even take scaramouch's empty seat ....it's been set in motion on how every mew encounter with the fatui we had is less and less violent and more co-operative Something gonna happen in natlan and perhaps the long awaited sustainer gonna lay natlan to ash as a punishment for destroying the sky dome all infront of us as we see everyone we fought for just disnegrate, probably will even understand the abyss sibling motivation ....tbh at this point Idk why we even fighting the fatui anymore
Never though the lady who took care of Yumkasaurus in the stadium also fell too no wonder see baby Yumkasaurus waiting someone in front of the stadium door that must be her 😢
the baby yumkasaurus' trainer is ramana, a canopy messenger. i got to save him and he's shown together with the baby yumkasaurus at the weary inn during my gameplay, instead of the baby waiting at the entrance.
I was there to search for him, since he had a voiced dialogue after 5.0 quest I thought he would congratulate the traveler in 5.1 too but was hit with reality.
It hit more deeply when you realize even if Vichama soul go to the night kingdom he can’t find malko there bc his soul was killed by a abyss lector in 5.0 AQ.
@@Nakuweed-samuraihis soul wouldve dissapated anyways, the lector points that out. Plus, souls in the NK dont die- only dissasamble. Thats why vichama needed a net to gather the fragments of Malko. So theoretically, if the traveler wants the two to be reunited, simply ask a favor from citlali and redo the ritual.
Honestly Paimon’s words really affected me in this quest “I don’t know how much of this Paimon can take” “no one…there’s nobody”. Fighting an area full of corpses was the worst.
What's worst is that Paimon refers herself in third person, which is common for childs to do in Asia as far as I can tell. Which means, Paimon saw all that while being at a very young age.
2:38 NOOOOO that was the lady that was so happy that one of the baby suarians she took care of in the people of the springs made friends with a melusine STOPPP
Some small other details that you can found with after the war : - Interact with 3 Tribe's Chiefs and ask about the Abyss war aftermath. - Interact with Apoxpalon [located behind left backside of Obsidian Totem Pole in Children of Echoes], there'll some additional dialogue about Batz' status. - Interact with Coyopa/Coa [located at front door of Speaker's Chamber], they'll chat about the victims that once stay at the Sacred Flame Stadium. - Interact with Katari while play as Yumkasaurus [the one guarding Obsidian Totem Pole in Scions of the Canopy alongside Aclla], it'll tell about Hunza's bravery. - Interact with Battuta [the Researcher stand with Nzinga] to know about Nzinga's status. - Interact with Tahmures [the Reseacher stand with Akeor] to know about Akeor's status. One unfortunate thing is that i can't find any NPC related to Tairona in People of the Spring except their chief...
omg, thanks! Once I realized how empty places were after the AQ I wished I paid more attention to the NPCs because I noticed how empty Scions of the Canopy was. there used to be a whole group inside on the steps that are just gone.
@@lulufortytwo3884 Now I regret not talking to NPCs before I did the current archon quest .. 😢 guess I'll just do it after I make another account... I haven't finished talking to Fontaine's NPCs as well..
I think some of them just move. Inna is at the side of the inn in my account. I guess it depends how many you save during the story? In my playthrough, a whole bunch of people were able to make it to the stadium (the guy and his doctor mom reunite, the unsure guy was able to save himself, a whole bunch of Canopy guys were able to evacuate civilians, etc.)
One of the things that hit me the hardest during the quest was when Paimon said something along the lines of not being able to emotionally handle the death and destruction anymore. She's always so happy, and we often actively shield her from the more unpleasant things we encounter, but we couldn't protect her from the realities of war. It just hit home at how much suffering was being presented in that quest and how dire the situation in Natlan (and Teyvat) was if Paimon was loosing all hope. The memorial at the end was bitter sweet.
and before we rush our way to chasca Xilonen asked that we pushed ourselves too hard and about to reach the limit already but Paimon replied "If there will be when we push ourselves then it gonna be now" which surprisingly it comes from Paimon eventhough she did literally nothing afterward
During AQ, when u rescued a chubby lady along with Fatui agents. And then abyss tumor hits on the ground, u go there to only found out that lady was lying dead there. 💔
Funny how people were mad how Natlan looked so happy happy at start, no hint of war , War is just them in tournament, capitano and Mauvuika would fight in tournament...... All of this certainly didn't age well
In my opinion, Natlan is still what was not expected, killing NPC's is not a serious thing as it would be to kill important characters, and no, don't tell me about Mavuika, she will revive and it will not be considered a death. Plus, they hesitate to kill a character because they would lose money by not making it playable. This isn't like HSR where Misha and Gallagher "died" and are still playable. Edit: What was the need to make Capitano sell smoke? The character that was painted as the strongest man in Teyvat ended up being a fraud. Edit 2: Most people can't read apparently, I won't respond to conflicting comments as to why my points are there, no need to explain. 💀 Edit 3: Wow, I saw someone telling me that I skip the story... Bro, you don't even know me enough to say that, you don't know about my life xd.
THAT'S because Misha and Gallagher were never real to begin with. And they just confirmed Tingyun is alive. Face it. Natlan war was good. It was good stuff. 😢@@Sharkury
@@SharkuryI can tell reading comprehension is where u struggle in the archon quest he said himself he’s a shadow of his past strength imagine him in his prime also he’s still equal to the pyro archon it’s not that hard to read and comprehend the story
It seems that the ones with the high casualties is on the side of the Scions of the Canopy, with the Abyssal Eye dropping a massive crystal pylon on the freaking entrance to their home.
Albeit from what we can see If we also had Chasca's clan in the map, we would've probably had half of the video just showing the multiple missing NPCs of that clan
Chuychu 's death is truly a waste, her design was so good that i wished people of Natlan will preserved her corpse and display her in National Museum of Natlan
@sentboumaster3436 no, it's unhinged. Like, you're not saying for the game developers to put something so it can be seen as a reference. You said about the Natlanese displaying a corpse.
during the first abyss tumour scene in the springs' territory, you can see marokau and hikueru dead on the ground too. theyre the two funny guys who helped mualani set up that hotspring for atea :( they were my favourites 😭 just two bestie polynesian dudebros 😭😭😭
Soo... Our choices mattered... I.... If I can send you guys my playthrough you'll see me checking the map every 3 freaking minutes, ESPECIALLY THE ABYSSAL CORRUPTIONS, THE LEY LINE STATUS, TOTAL DEATH!! It hit home, I got to tears people. The numbers... But I never help other people and just the hotspots, just checking on all locations status
The sadest thing is not when you lose someone during the battle, but when you come back to your spots, and the only thing you see is memories. It always makes me sad.
I really love how this quest captures the dread and guilt of experiencing a war you save one but loose another you take your eyes off them and they're gone too the helplessness is there it hit me when i realized those back up npcs are vulnerable and actually loose hp
I SOBBBED WHEN THERE WAS THE LITTLE SAURIAN BEING THE ONLY SURVIVOR OF A WHOLE GROUP. And.. the guilt of not being able to save everyone.. it killed my heart. The way Natlan went from bright and happy.. to dark and terrifying.
This whole thing made me cry. The mother and daughter we had to save. Paimon crying and saying she couldn’t handle it. It hurt so much. It was sadder than Fontaine guys. It was tragic.
I don’t know what I expected when I clicked on this. I knew I’d feel a bit sad, but I wasn’t expecting this tear in my heart…it hits harder when you see the changes
MAD RESPECT FOR THE PEOPLE OF SCIONS OF CANOPY. They were the most exposed to abyssal attacks since they go on solos to travel across natlan for delivering reports during battle.
It doesn’t matter whether they were people who we’ve talked to or not, there’s still an everlasting lingering regret that will accompany everyone after this war. Maybe it’s because we wanted to talk with them one last time before it’s too late or the emptiness of areas where they no longer reside. This just goes to show war is cruel and has no mercy.
If you indwell a yumkasaurus and talked with Hunza's yumkasaurus Katari (the one standing next to the girl standing by Scion of the Canopy's obelisk), they will have a whole new dialogue lines about seeing Hunza charging ahead into the battle. They don't want to speak as usual but this time you can sense it's because they're mourning instead of just being an introvert saurian.
And the numbers are diffrent for people depending on their choices. My numbers were wildly different than some of the posts I've seen on hoyolab. i didn't notice the text options over the events until after the first two because I had NO idea what was going on.
Such masterful way of storytelling through the environment. Simply the lack of the should-be-there NPCs did such number on players' emotion! Rest well Heroes of Natlan! May all of you find eternal peace amongst the sea of souls in the Night Kingdom and be reborn anew, this time, in a world without war..
War never changes. I felt so meaningless the more it was going on. The first part before the cutscenes i really had the thought we can do something to help keep it down but after that it was going downhill. To see All the people of Natlan, the Fatui and saurians dead hit hard and i felt weak. To see Paimon who was always so cheerful and happy be so sad hurts hard. It makes you wonder especially after its over if we could have done more or how it would going if Chasca got it earlier or even if it would have prevented Chuychu death. It is sad and it hits very hard that the story ends at the memorial.
Genshin is really showing us how war really impacts ppl(Bc a lot of us don’t know what the feeling of war is) I think it’s to spread awareness of the feeling or smth or the severity but in summary The archon quest for Natlan was just amazing and can really make us feel a ton of emotions throughout the whole gameplay
When I red the name of Vichama in the fallen warriors list, I felt punch in the stomach. Entire Act 4 was already pushing me to the crying river 😢 😭 "A moment of silence for the martyrs of Natlan and a 41-gun salute" 🫡🫡🫡🫡
I was sad when Vichama die. But at least he reunited with Malko (his friend) now they still be friend in another life. I often visited him when I completed the Archon quest in 5.0 but now I don't need to do that anymore 😭 *Even I said that but why my heart still hurt😢. Sr for my bad English
@oyaoya5200 The NPC helped us in Act 2 to find Kachina's ancient name and also tried to save his friend Mallko. Remember? We never saw any unalive scene beside Cascha's sister
2:58 well, akeor, the guy with helmet in the daily commission "Grow up quickly, Littl'Un". I have finish the archon quest act 4 in natlan and still met him this morning. He still kept seeking for forgiveness for setting up a hard training program for a kid. I got an achievement in that commission by the way Seems like commissions are not affected by the war in archon quest PS: his name isn't mentioned in "those familiar names..." on the altar, so instead i was surprised that he is with the matyrs
Indeed, it is reasonable to assume the ones not mentioned are still alive. For example, I talked to the woman who used to talk to Nzinga, and she doesn't know what happened to Nzinga.
So, I talked to Tahmures, and apparently Akeor is still alive and kicking. Specifically, he took his Saurian companion and is kicking monster ass somewhere.
Far worse fate than Fontaine tbh. Atleast in Fontaine, the Primordial Sea disasters were VERY recent, and the damage was mostly limited to Poisson and a few dozen women. (Only talking about the direct deaths, not the other stuff like Synthe) But in Natlan...the entire country was being attacked in every area all at once. We see the fall of the Scions of the Canopy in real-time, and their fight against the abyss has been going on for several centuries. Thousands of people died in a single night.
Wayta, Vichama, Batz, Tlilhua Lliuyaq, Chuychú, Hunza... "Gracias por todo lo que han hecho. Ojalá que, la próxima vez que nos veamos, sea en un mundo bello y hermoso".
one correction: tairona is alive and is found in front of the tribal secret space (the place that gives obsidian codex and scroll of the hero of the cinder city artifacts) in the people of the springs after completing the rainbow destined to burn
I'm a little pissed at myself. During the war, I didnt stop to help anyone, I was so angry at the Abyss that my only focus was to kill them all. Never to stop and help the others, only to kill, and now I'm finding out I could have saved people if I focused more. Probably the most emotion I've felt playing this game. Man I sound like Diluc
They are a 🤡. I mean dude when first Natlan came out they comparing Natlan First Chapter scene and nation with Inazuma Resistance and Shogunate war scene on Frucking first Chapter and saying "Nation of war, Natlan" Lovely pokemon Vibe "The real Nation of War" That one fcking Inazuma scene who we didn't even fight. Dude what are you expecting on a Prologue, The Introduction of a Nation. Even Inazuma start up on slow pace not jump straight into the War and Beating Ei to wake up and touch some grass. And now Mihoyo pull off a Banger and sadness on Natlan War and cutscene, Where are those clown?? 😂
@@FachezaOktafianexactly bro, we had to learn about the nation and its culture first in order to feel the emotional impacts of these battles. Like even in Fontaine we learn about it being a nation of theatrical performances but it all concealed a looming threat. That’s how every stories had been told to us. Natlan hate is so forced
@@ft.jackjimmy7282 For Real, It's understandable why Mihoyo would choose a happy and lovely vibe for Natlan at first, Because who know what they gonna throw at us in next update, It's just a tip of the iceberg and a beginning of new Nation. Who knew if they would throw us another Engkanomiya, Chasm, Seirai or Tsurumi island vibe but more scarier and darker on other place in Natlan.
Some NPCs fate are based on your choices too, like the Ututuwhatsoever(?) guy, he's ask if people will remember him if he die, your choices are "stay alive" or "they will remember you", if you choose the second one he'll not in stadium on later, same with messenger Raman(?) one too, if you not find him in bush, he'll not in stadium later
the big guy from the saurian relics association who helped us with our little tepetlisaur in the world quest is also missing the flower feather clan dude near the tp waypoint in the main city is also gone
Abyss will pay for everything. And Celestia shall answer everything. And Tsaritsa better know what she's doing with the Gnosis, I'm giving my trust to her now.
@Asm0sday The Nails are pretty good at destroying the abyss, although they are very bad at actulling preserving the people. Since there's a nail in Natlan, it looks like Celestia already tried but failed considering the nail is corrupted.
Why didn't I try to get to know them better... Now I understand Frieren's regrets. Those NPC's may seem like a small inconsequential part of our journey but now they're lost forever and I don't even have memories of them. The Traveler is a witness to Teyvat's history but the story of those who are lost... who will remember them?
I was shocked to see the death count increase to 4000, I was almost in fking tears. And that scene where we glide through Natlan with the ballon, Paimon's voice hits hard, her voice was shaky, losing hope and everything.
whattt?? noooo! 😭 i love these world building environmental storytelling and hoyo has been killing it for years! but this archon quest's aftermath has to take the cake. it makes everything we do actually matter and have a real impact on the world itself. goshh i love it soo muchhhh!
I finished the quest last night. When I finally came across the first set of dead saurians I was shocked and my heart broke. I was like okay this is really bad and shit is getting real. Seeing the bodies on the bridge in Scions and then Paimon being scared and losing hope hit hard. I was in tears up until after Chuychu. And it’s heartbreaking that her death was needed for Chasca to awaken her ancient name. I feel like even if it’s just NPCs it still makes a huge impact because these are side characters we come to really like and are used to seeing. Was also really excited for the lore aspect as well. Genshin has just done a really good job since we got to sumeru and questions are being answered but also making us as more questions as well 😅
This quest is really f up, they really make us choose one to save and abondon the other then after that you can go to the one that you did not choose only to find out that they're all dead damn man
same with honkai star rail jiao qiu quest, i choose all red color words, i thought it would have some achievement, but after that they all killed by that wolve, damn it
And the amount of Death is up to you,mihoyo know there are people who just too lazy to do anything,if you go to every npc location the amount of Death would be around 2000,if not 4000~
50% of military tacticians, commanders and generals IRL would have chosen to abandon those who are scattered and isolated, saving them would've risk much more, inhumane yes, but it's a real tactic in warfare especially when the odds are stacked up against them.
This quest definitely beat any other emotionally impactful questline I've ever played through by a long shot. I cried so hard and since I play on GeForce NOW as a free user, (so only getting one hour per session to play) the amount of times I had to restart my sessions made this all the sadder.. Also being able to pick and choose which locations to go to was neat but also so overwhelming and the anxiety I had during it was so bad.. I finished it this morning (around 2am something) and while I'm happy I got to see the NPC's that I saved, I feel awful being unable to go to every location in order to save more people QmQ I clicked on this video because the only NPC I remembered other then Chyuchu was Vichama so I wanted to see who the other ones were and while my heart hurts for Vichama, I want to believe he's finally reunited with Mallko.. Even if it isn't true, I'm still gonna believe that they are together again. Knowing that it's possible to save different NPC's based on the locations you choose, I'm gonna make myself suffer more by watching other people's LP's to see if they chose different locations from me. In my playthrough while I don't remember all I saved, I did save the Scions of the Canopy guy who was injured along with the saurians in that location and by proxy I saved Toto which made me happy. Apologizes for the long post but I felt the need to say it.
Just did and finished the archon quest yesterday... 😢 It's so heartbreaking.. Like.. back in Fontaine .. there's the tragedy in Poisson... But we never really see them .. die... And then here we are .. in Natlan.. corpses left and right 😭 so many casualties.. and i hate the fact that you get two choices at some points and after you're done with the area.. you cant choose the other one anymore until later.. but i think either way.. you'll come back again.. and see that they still met their tragedies 😢
Also the death counter changes based on your choises, like if u visit one area before the other one, how Quick you killed the enemy, how much HP the ally NPCs lost in the battle, etc.
What is thiss 😢 It's already sad when I saw those saurians corpses. When I saw them lay on the ground I innocently said "hey buddy, why you all sleeping here" like what?! how old I am? 5? It really hit me when realise they're die not sleep 😭
The amount of casualties is depend on your action and how fast you kill the monster ,you can get about 4k to 6k,2k is possible after Mavuika activate her ult,Ode of Resurrection. Of course not everyone has ancient name to be revived
Akeor (the guy that disappears at 3:07) still appears in the commsion: Grow Up Quickly, Littl'Un.
3 месяца назад+4
Yes, I also got his daily quest after the archon quest. If you talk to the scholar, she'll tell you that Akeor left with his saurian to fight for Natlan, and she hopes that her research can help him in the fight, so it's logical to think that he didn't die and that's why he keeps appearing in the daily quests.
Ikr like i start natlan commission when 5.0 kinich banner release and got akeor commission, now i wonder what gonna happen with the commission after 5.1.
This is very sad. Some of these npcs were involved in daily quests. Others were just enjoying their lives and making peace for everyone else. Rip mighty souls.
There are one more you have missed, there is courier transport lady in "kachina's" town or location...she stands by the steps before you try to meet xhilonin's place or her work station area.
2:50 that green npc keeping her hand covering her head gesture after the other npc no longer there just hits hard. Previously it looked like she was having a headache from the nagging and now it just looks like shes forever mourning for the other person 😢
the baby saurian on the AQ will wait for its master to return if you fail to save him and the yunkasaur at the reputation board on the scions of the canopy feels sad that hunza is no longer around talking its ears off, there may be more cases of saurians feeling loss of their humans friends but i have yet to look over all saurian npcs after the AQ
There's a Saurian somewhere in the caves in the Scions of Canopy territory. Its master died a while ago. The Saurian guards a cave waiting for the master to return, and will continue you to do so forever. (You can arrange for people to feed it though)
I hope you show the differences on the Natlan Abyss War because turns out, the number of deaths you'll get is different for each account depending on how fast you kill the enemies and the hotspot you chose first. So depending on your choices, some people will either live or die. I've seen users saying that they had around 4000 or even 6000 deaths...
I had 1251 deaths, guess I killed them quick enough. I was really panicking that I bring out Neuvillete, furina, fischl and kazuha from the very first battle it payed off!!
I think the death count is around 1900-2200. 4000-6000 does appear in the count in the last part of the quest, but the number goes back down to around 2000 because of the Ode of Resurrection
I could be wrong, but I think some NPCs' deaths are fixed, while some others actually varies depending on players' choices, I could have sworn. I've seen some of these characters alive and well in my world.
to think that there could have been more people that have died but we can't see it change ingame because the areas are not yet released breaks my heart into a million pieces
actually Tairona didnt died and she just switched to another place you will see her nearby the cave with Sanctifying Essence and Artifacts and she will have new dialougue with us and Akoer spawned to today
Honestly l absolutely love how they made the war have effects on the world helps with making it feel like a war happend without massive changes to the map i really hope these changes stay as it gives history and Consequence.
And that was just a taste of what a war against the abyss it's like, Natlan had the ode of resurrection power, but can't imagine the outcome on another regions...
Judging by all the stories we've heard about the Cataclysm from other nations, it was devastating. It fucked over the political, economic, and social situations in so many nations and caused a knock-on effect that echoes till this day. Some of the effects: Mondstadt - Corrupted Dvalin. Signora lost her lover and became a Harbinger. Liyue - A lot of Millelith deaths, and Yelan's ancestor. The Yaksha Bosacius also died there. Inazuma -Scara (ANOTHER Harbinger) and Shogun were created. Inazuma lost a lot of their top fighters like Chiyo and Takamine. Ei was overcome with grief and fear, secluding herself, which affected her national policies. Scaramouche destroyed the swordsmith schools. Sumeru - Death of Rukkhadevata, causing the Akademiya to decline and become dogmatic. It ruined Old Vanarana as well, and many parts of the forest. Fontaine - Death of Egeria and Admiral Basil plus the rest of the fleet. Spawned a new race of beings, the Melusine. The whole Narzissenkreuz tragedy cuz Rene tried to transcend humanity. Possible Harbinger arose (if Sandrone is really based on Alain's sister Mary-Ann) Khaenri'ah: Abyss Order created. Two Harbingers arise. Loom of Fate.
Firstly: to be honest, I expected at least small Mass grave for the fallen Fatui like USSR did in WW2 to their soldiers when they have no time and resources to give an actual grave for each of them (we call them Grave of Brothers here). I mean you can treat Fatui however you want, yet they choose to fight for the foreign land (because of Capital, or because it’s their duty, or just because how they supposed to not. Doesn’t matter) and they saved lots of people. Give them at least a little bit of respect or something… Secondary: Those who already feel sad about all the losses… Get ready for the next version… Cause we haven’t seen Chuychu’s grave just yet…
Yeah, that’s why I haven’t done it. I’m careful with these Archon Quests. Rukkha’s erasure was the same kind of huge change in our game. Gotta check out these doomed npc-s before they disappear forever. I was kinda busy last month so I haven’t interacted with all of them.
The quest was amazing... I'm happy they managed to get something this dramatic and thrilling.. I wanted traveller to have more heroic part in saving the nation... But it's still good 😊😊😊

This community’s most problematic thing is if they perceived one single trait out of 99 traits , they will forget the 99 traits which makes the the stuff feel complete & exaggerated the hell out of that particular trait to create memes They stuck at one thing “Looks it’s pokemon” but never analysis other stuff like Abyss war upcoming , Red flag etc . Nothing , In order to feel validation in the internet, They want to find Memes so that they will get upvotes that will make them feel happy Yuck , super cringy mentality
Hoyo builds the Natlan hype through Neuvielette's words about a country of endless war, but they allow us to have fun enjoying the "beautiful new world" with cute pokemon first, all of this was planned by Hoyo, but isn't finished yet, they always save the big conclusion for the final arc
To make it worse, malko's soul was already killed by the abyss lector so vichama is all alone in the night kingdom
Wow thanks for making it more depressing
Bro why did u remind me of that😭
So that means Vichama will also probably endlessly search for malko in the night kingdom
Soul can't be killed.. nor be destroyed.
@@cottoncandyUwU420Bro u skipped it huh
Some people say something like: “It doesn’t count, it’s just NPCs”. But I think this latest Archon quest was beautifully made. Slowly losing all hope, seeing dead bodies of Natlanians, Fatui and Saurians (and thinking something like “They fought so bravely, but that wasn’t enough…”), simply feeling how terrifying war is…
It doesn’t count, it’s just NPCs
it hit me hard when i noticed the barricades set up outside the entrance to the canopy where people were ready to fight and then you return there later to find it destroyed 😢
At moment in the qu'est i was thinking about the fact that the plan of capitano should have been done
@@revalitexdi I honestly don't think natlan will have a happy ending
Something will happen that will completely turn the traveller to the fatui side ...might even take scaramouch's empty seat
....it's been set in motion on how every mew encounter with the fatui we had is less and less violent and more co-operative
Something gonna happen in natlan and perhaps the long awaited sustainer gonna lay natlan to ash as a punishment for destroying the sky dome all infront of us as we see everyone we fought for just disnegrate, probably will even understand the abyss sibling motivation
....tbh at this point Idk why we even fighting the fatui anymore
And now I'm scared of the war against Celestia, Tsaritsa, Archons, Our sibling and whatever else will await us :)

IKR 😢😢😢😢
NOOOO
WAIT… SHE TOOK CARE OF MOO?! NOOOOOOOOOO HE’S MY FAVORITE SAURIAN OF ALL TIME AND HIS CARETAKER IS GONE😭
Some small other details that you can found with after the war :
- Interact with 3 Tribe's Chiefs and ask about the Abyss war aftermath.
- Interact with Apoxpalon [located behind left backside of Obsidian Totem Pole in Children of Echoes], there'll some additional dialogue about Batz' status.
- Interact with Coyopa/Coa [located at front door of Speaker's Chamber], they'll chat about the victims that once stay at the Sacred Flame Stadium.
- Interact with Katari while play as Yumkasaurus [the one guarding Obsidian Totem Pole in Scions of the Canopy alongside Aclla], it'll tell about Hunza's bravery.
- Interact with Battuta [the Researcher stand with Nzinga] to know about Nzinga's status.
- Interact with Tahmures [the Reseacher stand with Akeor] to know about Akeor's status.
One unfortunate thing is that i can't find any NPC related to Tairona in People of the Spring except their chief...
omg, thanks! Once I realized how empty places were after the AQ I wished I paid more attention to the NPCs because I noticed how empty Scions of the Canopy was. there used to be a whole group inside on the steps that are just gone.
FOUND TAIRONA - She is now patrolling next to sealed cave (the one you open with ring for ten artifacts and one sanctifying essence

Now I regret not talking to NPCs before I did the current archon quest
.. 😢 guess I'll just do it after I make another account...
I haven't finished talking to Fontaine's NPCs as well..
In my play through, Inna (the lady seen with the Saurians next to Weary Inn) is still present
I think some of them just move. Inna is at the side of the inn in my account. I guess it depends how many you save during the story? In my playthrough, a whole bunch of people were able to make it to the stadium (the guy and his doctor mom reunite, the unsure guy was able to save himself, a whole bunch of Canopy guys were able to evacuate civilians, etc.)
Chasca lost her sister, maintaining the sad tradition of anemo character losing a loved one😢
Damn…
Ohh
Nada mas Canon que los Anemo perdiendo un ser querido...
God...
One of the things that hit me the hardest during the quest was when Paimon said something along the lines of not being able to emotionally handle the death and destruction anymore. She's always so happy, and we often actively shield her from the more unpleasant things we encounter, but we couldn't protect her from the realities of war. It just hit home at how much suffering was being presented in that quest and how dire the situation in Natlan (and Teyvat) was if Paimon was loosing all hope. The memorial at the end was bitter sweet.
I remember that it was that long air ballon travel when she almost broke down
I agree with you! my heart broke hearing her cry at all the casualties.
For me when i got the little yumikasaurus alone while others all are dead😢
"This is no disaster, Paimon, this is war"
and before we rush our way to chasca Xilonen asked that we pushed ourselves too hard and about to reach the limit already but Paimon replied "If there will be when we push ourselves then it gonna be now" which surprisingly it comes from Paimon eventhough she did literally nothing afterward
During AQ, when u rescued a chubby lady along with Fatui agents. And then abyss tumor hits on the ground, u go there to only found out that lady was lying dead there. 💔
Yeah the purple chubby lady. I noticed that too.
Wait, she can die? I am sure that I have seen in stadium alive. What place do you mean?
The one that wants to deliver potions to the People of the springs?? Is her body in the pile of bodies near the Springs entrance???
@@banggobang5148 it depends if you send her to the stadium or to the people of the springs, i believe
Depending on your choices, she can live.
...and knowing that might make it worse. :P
Funny how people were mad how Natlan looked so happy happy at start, no hint of war , War is just them in tournament, capitano and Mauvuika would fight in tournament...... All of this certainly didn't age well
In my opinion, Natlan is still what was not expected, killing NPC's is not a serious thing as it would be to kill important characters, and no, don't tell me about Mavuika, she will revive and it will not be considered a death. Plus, they hesitate to kill a character because they would lose money by not making it playable. This isn't like HSR where Misha and Gallagher "died" and are still playable.
Edit: What was the need to make Capitano sell smoke? The character that was painted as the strongest man in Teyvat ended up being a fraud.
Edit 2: Most people can't read apparently, I won't respond to conflicting comments as to why my points are there, no need to explain. 💀
Edit 3: Wow, I saw someone telling me that I skip the story... Bro, you don't even know me enough to say that, you don't know about my life xd.
@@Sharkury you literally said it. He "was" the strongest man. It's in past tense. He literally admitted that he is weaker now compared to before.
The genshin community has many options. But sadly their opinion doesn't matter 😂
THAT'S because Misha and Gallagher were never real to begin with. And they just confirmed Tingyun is alive.
Face it. Natlan war was good. It was good stuff. 😢@@Sharkury
@@SharkuryI can tell reading comprehension is where u struggle in the archon quest he said himself he’s a shadow of his past strength imagine him in his prime also he’s still equal to the pyro archon it’s not that hard to read and comprehend the story
It seems that the ones with the high casualties is on the side of the Scions of the Canopy, with the Abyssal Eye dropping a massive crystal pylon on the freaking entrance to their home.
And also their ppl is scatter around as information delivery, makes them easy target
Mavuika are from the Scions of the Canopy... maybe that another reason (other than the one before me) why writers chose this tribe too.
That balloon ride where you see the village get completely overrun and many dead makes you wonder how chief wayna also survived.
Albeit from what we can see
If we also had Chasca's clan in the map, we would've probably had half of the video just showing the multiple missing NPCs of that clan

It hit home, I got to tears people. The numbers... But I never help other people and just the hotspots, just checking on all locations status
The sadest thing is not when you lose someone during the battle, but when you come back to your spots, and the only thing you see is memories. It always makes me sad.
I really love how this quest captures the dread and guilt of experiencing a war you save one but loose another you take your eyes off them and they're gone too the helplessness is there it hit me when i realized those back up npcs are vulnerable and actually loose hp
3:36 reading the paper on the table confirms the deaths of a handful of the npcs
Where's the location?
@@bangzub under the teleport waypoint right before the bridge to the stadium. It is to the northwest of the nearest statue of the seven
I SOBBBED WHEN THERE WAS THE LITTLE SAURIAN BEING THE ONLY SURVIVOR OF A WHOLE GROUP. And.. the guilt of not being able to save everyone.. it killed my heart. The way Natlan went from bright and happy.. to dark and terrifying.
This whole thing made me cry. The mother and daughter we had to save. Paimon crying and saying she couldn’t handle it. It hurt so much. It was sadder than Fontaine guys. It was tragic.
"Paimon... This is no disaster. This is war".
I don’t know what I expected when I clicked on this. I knew I’d feel a bit sad, but I wasn’t expecting this tear in my heart…it hits harder when you see the changes
MAD RESPECT FOR THE PEOPLE OF SCIONS OF CANOPY. They were the most exposed to abyssal attacks since they go on solos to travel across natlan for delivering reports during battle.
It doesn’t matter whether they were people who we’ve talked to or not, there’s still an everlasting lingering regret that will accompany everyone after this war. Maybe it’s because we wanted to talk with them one last time before it’s too late or the emptiness of areas where they no longer reside. This just goes to show war is cruel and has no mercy.
If you indwell a yumkasaurus and talked with Hunza's yumkasaurus Katari (the one standing next to the girl standing by Scion of the Canopy's obelisk), they will have a whole new dialogue lines about seeing Hunza charging ahead into the battle. They don't want to speak as usual but this time you can sense it's because they're mourning instead of just being an introvert saurian.
2:58 NOOOOOOOOO!!! NOT HIM TOO!!! WHAT'S GONNA HAPPEN WITH THAT COMISSION WITH THE KID NOW!? 😭
Hoping he hooked up with the Akademiya glasses girl.
hei you the only one that mention taht quest. i feel the same with you bro.😥
I just got his commision earlier, even i finished the archon quest. Ahe is alive i guess? He has a crush on that scholar 😂😂
@@juker5876 Wait. What? You mean he's alive during the commission even after you finished the Archon quest? That can't be right...
@@IdentityHero I guess we can say that he's injured after 5.1.
Hopefully the commission implies he's injured and not oofed.
Tairona was found at the eastern shore of the village, she said her patrolling route was changed after the war.
I noticed that ....their lives really depended on our moves....like literally I could see them loosing hp...and realised things were serious
I remember liveposting it to friends and I sent them a message screaming "I CANT MOVE AROUND THE BATTLEFIELD CAUSE THERES SO MANY CORPSES"
The body count goes up if we take too long too
And the numbers are diffrent for people depending on their choices. My numbers were wildly different than some of the posts I've seen on hoyolab. i didn't notice the text options over the events until after the first two because I had NO idea what was going on.
Such masterful way of storytelling through the environment. Simply the lack of the should-be-there NPCs did such number on players' emotion! Rest well Heroes of Natlan! May all of you find eternal peace amongst the sea of souls in the Night Kingdom and be reborn anew, this time, in a world without war..
People in 5.0: Natlan is the nation of dance, music and Pokémon
People in 5.1: 💀
War never changes. I felt so meaningless the more it was going on. The first part before the cutscenes i really had the thought we can do something to help keep it down but after that it was going downhill. To see All the people of Natlan, the Fatui and saurians dead hit hard and i felt weak. To see Paimon who was always so cheerful and happy be so sad hurts hard. It makes you wonder especially after its over if we could have done more or how it would going if Chasca got it earlier or even if it would have prevented Chuychu death. It is sad and it hits very hard that the story ends at the memorial.
before the quest I click random interact near 1:21 and never realize that this is the first and the last time I interact with this npc
Genshin is really showing us how war really impacts ppl(Bc a lot of us don’t know what the feeling of war is) I think it’s to spread awareness of the feeling or smth or the severity but in summary The archon quest for Natlan was just amazing and can really make us feel a ton of emotions throughout the whole gameplay
Worth noting is that when you visit the memorial, the music always goes silent to pay respects
When I red the name of Vichama in the fallen warriors list, I felt punch in the stomach. Entire Act 4 was already pushing me to the crying river 😢 😭
"A moment of silence for the martyrs of Natlan and a 41-gun salute"

I was sad when Vichama die. But at least he reunited with Malko (his friend) now they still be friend in another life. I often visited him when I completed the Archon quest in 5.0 but now I don't need to do that anymore 😭

Now lets find all the people that were complaning about Natlan "it should be war and darker". You are now served.
2:47 That woman's pose on the left hits different after her friend gone ;-;
2:58 well, akeor, the guy with helmet in the daily commission "Grow up quickly, Littl'Un". I have finish the archon quest act 4 in natlan and still met him this morning. He still kept seeking for forgiveness for setting up a hard training program for a kid. I got an achievement in that commission by the way
Seems like commissions are not affected by the war in archon quest
PS: his name isn't mentioned in "those familiar names..." on the altar, so instead i was surprised that he is with the matyrs
Some of the survivors are still injured so maybe Akeor is still alive
Indeed, it is reasonable to assume the ones not mentioned are still alive. For example, I talked to the woman who used to talk to Nzinga, and she doesn't know what happened to Nzinga.
So, I talked to Tahmures, and apparently Akeor is still alive and kicking. Specifically, he took his Saurian companion and is kicking monster ass somewhere.
Natlan got fontaine treatment, F for all
atleast it didn't suffered like Khaenriah
Yeah.
worse than fontaine 😭
Far worse fate than Fontaine tbh.
Atleast in Fontaine, the Primordial Sea disasters were VERY recent, and the damage was mostly limited to Poisson and a few dozen women.
(Only talking about the direct deaths, not the other stuff like Synthe)
But in Natlan...the entire country was being attacked in every area all at once. We see the fall of the Scions of the Canopy in real-time, and their fight against the abyss has been going on for several centuries. Thousands of people died in a single night.
Natlan got the Cataclysm-lite treatment
A moment of silence for the fallen heros 😢😢
The fact that all these npc died without being noticed and they reflect that in the game just makes me love genshin more
Hutao's sales would have been sky rocking if she went to natlan

To say my jaw was on the floor during act 4 would be a MASSIVE understatement
I'm a little pissed at myself. During the war, I didnt stop to help anyone, I was so angry at the Abyss that my only focus was to kill them all. Never to stop and help the others, only to kill, and now I'm finding out I could have saved people if I focused more. Probably the most emotion I've felt playing this game.
Man I sound like Diluc
Remember the people complaining about Natlan just being happiness and Pokémon with out any conflict?
Of course the Game had to give us a great high just to shove us right off of it into despair. XD
They are a 🤡.
I mean dude when first Natlan came out they comparing Natlan First Chapter scene and nation with Inazuma Resistance and Shogunate war scene on Frucking first Chapter and saying "Nation of war, Natlan" Lovely pokemon Vibe "The real Nation of War" That one fcking Inazuma scene who we didn't even fight.
Dude what are you expecting on a Prologue, The Introduction of a Nation. Even Inazuma start up on slow pace not jump straight into the War and Beating Ei to wake up and touch some grass.
And now Mihoyo pull off a Banger and sadness on Natlan War and cutscene, Where are those clown?? 😂
@@FachezaOktafianexactly bro, we had to learn about the nation and its culture first in order to feel the emotional impacts of these battles. Like even in Fontaine we learn about it being a nation of theatrical performances but it all concealed a looming threat. That’s how every stories had been told to us. Natlan hate is so forced
@@ft.jackjimmy7282 For Real, It's understandable why Mihoyo would choose a happy and lovely vibe for Natlan at first, Because who know what they gonna throw at us in next update, It's just a tip of the iceberg and a beginning of new Nation.

Some NPCs fate are based on your choices too,
like the Ututuwhatsoever(?) guy, he's ask if people will remember him if he die,
your choices are "stay alive" or "they will remember you", if you choose the second one he'll not in stadium on later,
same with messenger Raman(?) one too, if you not find him in bush, he'll not in stadium later
...there was someone in the bush? Oh now I'm sad for someone I've never seen..
In what area is the messenger hidden at the bush? 😢
@@RennSenpai the giant tree under the Scions of the Canopy, the one it's berries? will change the color from blue into red after the world quest

rip all NPC are fallen in during the war against abyss in natlan, they souls and passion of they're willing lives in our hearts there
If u remember where mavuika punch the sky, u can see up theres somthing similar in the cutscene on the open world after last archon quest
Abyss will pay for everything. And Celestia shall answer everything.
And Tsaritsa better know what she's doing with the Gnosis, I'm giving my trust to her now.
Celestia also tried to stop the abyss,just not to the core. It is theorize Primordial One sacrifice himself to stop the abyss from growing more
@Asm0sday The Nails are pretty good at destroying the abyss, although they are very bad at actulling preserving the people. Since there's a nail in Natlan, it looks like Celestia already tried but failed considering the nail is corrupted.
Why didn't I try to get to know them better... Now I understand Frieren's regrets. Those NPC's may seem like a small inconsequential part of our journey but now they're lost forever and I don't even have memories of them. The Traveler is a witness to Teyvat's history but the story of those who are lost... who will remember them?
I was shocked to see the death count increase to 4000, I was almost in fking tears. And that scene where we glide through Natlan with the ballon, Paimon's voice hits hard, her voice was shaky, losing hope and everything.
It drops back to 2000+ in the end, because a lot of people got resurrected. But half of them didn't
@@sergeandou9853 Depends. Some people who went afk or paused + afk did get 2k++ deaths (up to 7k I heard)
This war was just a small taste of what is to come in the final acts of Genshin Impact.
whattt?? noooo! 😭
i love these world building environmental storytelling and hoyo has been killing it for years! but this archon quest's aftermath has to take the cake. it makes everything we do actually matter and have a real impact on the world itself. goshh i love it soo muchhhh!
That's why Natlan is the worst affected of all seven regions, due to the Abyssal attacks.
I finished the quest last night. When I finally came across the first set of dead saurians I was shocked and my heart broke. I was like okay this is really bad and shit is getting real. Seeing the bodies on the bridge in Scions and then Paimon being scared and losing hope hit hard. I was in tears up until after Chuychu. And it’s heartbreaking that her death was needed for Chasca to awaken her ancient name.
I feel like even if it’s just NPCs it still makes a huge impact because these are side characters we come to really like and are used to seeing.
Was also really excited for the lore aspect as well. Genshin has just done a really good job since we got to sumeru and questions are being answered but also making us as more questions as well 😅
This quest is really f up, they really make us choose one to save and abondon the other then after that you can go to the one that you did not choose only to find out that they're all dead damn man
Thats reality, you cannot save everyone 😢
same with honkai star rail jiao qiu quest, i choose all red color words, i thought it would have some achievement, but after that they all killed by that wolve, damn it
And the amount of Death is up to you,mihoyo know there are people who just too lazy to do anything,if you go to every npc location the amount of Death would be around 2000,if not 4000~
50% of military tacticians, commanders and generals IRL would have chosen to abandon those who are scattered and isolated, saving them would've risk much more, inhumane yes, but it's a real tactic in warfare especially when the odds are stacked up against them.
That's the reason why this archon quest is so good ngl, like your choice matters it effects if someone dies or not@@Asm0sday
This quest definitely beat any other emotionally impactful questline I've ever played through by a long shot. I cried so hard and since I play on GeForce NOW as a free user, (so only getting one hour per session to play) the amount of times I had to restart my sessions made this all the sadder.. Also being able to pick and choose which locations to go to was neat but also so overwhelming and the anxiety I had during it was so bad.. I finished it this morning (around 2am something) and while I'm happy I got to see the NPC's that I saved, I feel awful being unable to go to every location in order to save more people QmQ I clicked on this video because the only NPC I remembered other then Chyuchu was Vichama so I wanted to see who the other ones were and while my heart hurts for Vichama, I want to believe he's finally reunited with Mallko.. Even if it isn't true, I'm still gonna believe that they are together again. Knowing that it's possible to save different NPC's based on the locations you choose, I'm gonna make myself suffer more by watching other people's LP's to see if they chose different locations from me. In my playthrough while I don't remember all I saved, I did save the Scions of the Canopy guy who was injured along with the saurians in that location and by proxy I saved Toto which made me happy. Apologizes for the long post but I felt the need to say it.
Yeah! It's an amazing experience!
Just did and finished the archon quest yesterday... 😢 It's so heartbreaking..
Like.. back in Fontaine .. there's the tragedy in Poisson... But we never really see them .. die...
And then here we are .. in Natlan.. corpses left and right 😭 so many casualties.. and i hate the fact that you get two choices at some points and after you're done with the area.. you cant choose the other one anymore until later.. but i think either way.. you'll come back again.. and see that they still met their tragedies 😢
Also the death counter changes based on your choises, like if u visit one area before the other one, how Quick you killed the enemy, how much HP the ally NPCs lost in the battle, etc.
@@Desghiofor me everyone died in the people of springs one

The amount of casualties is depend on your action and how fast you kill the monster ,you can get about 4k to 6k,2k is possible after Mavuika activate her ult,Ode of Resurrection. Of course not everyone has ancient name to be revived
Akeor (the guy that disappears at 3:07) still appears in the commsion: Grow Up Quickly, Littl'Un.
Yes, I also got his daily quest after the archon quest. If you talk to the scholar, she'll tell you that Akeor left with his saurian to fight for Natlan, and she hopes that her research can help him in the fight, so it's logical to think that he didn't die and that's why he keeps appearing in the daily quests.
Ikr like i start natlan commission when 5.0 kinich banner release and got akeor commission, now i wonder what gonna happen with the commission after 5.1.
One major detail is missing thow:
The remains of the destroyed moon that were behind the false sky are now visible to us, but only in Natlan.
the war felt like one, was so long exhausting
5.0
"Haha Natlan looks nothing like war-ish"
5.1
Hoyo : "What's up now bitches!?"
It's good that Kachina's parents were okay. Many would not have been able to bear her grief if she had lost them...
This is very sad. Some of these npcs were involved in daily quests. Others were just enjoying their lives and making peace for everyone else. Rip mighty souls.
There are one more you have missed, there is courier transport lady in "kachina's" town or location...she stands by the steps before you try to meet xhilonin's place or her work station area.

2:50 that green npc keeping her hand covering her head gesture after the other npc no longer there just hits hard. Previously it looked like she was having a headache from the nagging and now it just looks like shes forever mourning for the other person 😢
I hope those Saurians who lost their masters are not as vulnerable to emotion as dogs
the baby saurian on the AQ will wait for its master to return if you fail to save him and the yunkasaur at the reputation board on the scions of the canopy feels sad that hunza is no longer around talking its ears off, there may be more cases of saurians feeling loss of their humans friends but i have yet to look over all saurian npcs after the AQ
@@matheusbianquincera3104 Well, at least they won't die from heartbreak right? Right? 🫠
There's a Saurian somewhere in the caves in the Scions of Canopy territory. Its master died a while ago. The Saurian guards a cave waiting for the master to return, and will continue you to do so forever. (You can arrange for people to feed it though)
I hope you show the differences on the Natlan Abyss War because turns out, the number of deaths you'll get is different for each account depending on how fast you kill the enemies and the hotspot you chose first.
So depending on your choices, some people will either live or die.
I've seen users saying that they had around 4000 or even 6000 deaths...
I didn't know... I only had 2 thousand deaths 😮
I had 1251 deaths, guess I killed them quick enough. I was really panicking that I bring out Neuvillete, furina, fischl and kazuha from the very first battle it payed off!!
I think the death count is around 1900-2200.
4000-6000 does appear in the count in the last part of the quest, but the number goes back down to around 2000 because of the Ode of Resurrection
@_dragonflies_ Yeah but I've seen some users said that they reached 4k before that.
@pptthheav2 Same as me. And this was before the Ode of Resurrection was activated.
Now I realise why Capitano was right
May they rest In peace
this archon quest has me both mentally and physically drained
I could be wrong, but I think some NPCs' deaths are fixed, while some others actually varies depending on players' choices, I could have sworn. I've seen some of these characters alive and well in my world.
NOOO!!! WHY JUST WHY... I CAN'T WITH THIS ARCHON QUEST EVEN CHASCA SISTER'S DIED TOO MAN THIS IS TOO 😭💔😢
RIP to our departed NPC's.they are well be remembered as heroes🙏
to think that there could have been more people that have died but we can't see it change ingame because the areas are not yet released breaks my heart into a million pieces
actually Tairona didnt died and she just switched to another place you will see her nearby the cave with Sanctifying Essence and Artifacts
and she will have new dialougue with us
and Akoer spawned to today
Honestly l absolutely love how they made the war have effects on the world helps with making it feel like a war happend without massive changes to the map i really hope these changes stay as it gives history and Consequence.
And that was just a taste of what a war against the abyss it's like, Natlan had the ode of resurrection power, but can't imagine the outcome on another regions...
Judging by all the stories we've heard about the Cataclysm from other nations, it was devastating.
It fucked over the political, economic, and social situations in so many nations and caused a knock-on effect that echoes till this day.
Some of the effects:
Mondstadt - Corrupted Dvalin. Signora lost her lover and became a Harbinger.
Liyue - A lot of Millelith deaths, and Yelan's ancestor. The Yaksha Bosacius also died there.
Inazuma -Scara (ANOTHER Harbinger) and Shogun were created. Inazuma lost a lot of their top fighters like Chiyo and Takamine. Ei was overcome with grief and fear, secluding herself, which affected her national policies. Scaramouche destroyed the swordsmith schools.
Sumeru - Death of Rukkhadevata, causing the Akademiya to decline and become dogmatic. It ruined Old Vanarana as well, and many parts of the forest.
Fontaine - Death of Egeria and Admiral Basil plus the rest of the fleet. Spawned a new race of beings, the Melusine. The whole Narzissenkreuz tragedy cuz Rene tried to transcend humanity. Possible Harbinger arose (if Sandrone is really based on Alain's sister Mary-Ann)
Khaenri'ah: Abyss Order created. Two Harbingers arise. Loom of Fate.
Firstly: to be honest, I expected at least small Mass grave for the fallen Fatui like USSR did in WW2 to their soldiers when they have no time and resources to give an actual grave for each of them (we call them Grave of Brothers here). I mean you can treat Fatui however you want, yet they choose to fight for the foreign land (because of Capital, or because it’s their duty, or just because how they supposed to not. Doesn’t matter) and they saved lots of people. Give them at least a little bit of respect or something…
Secondary: Those who already feel sad about all the losses… Get ready for the next version… Cause we haven’t seen Chuychu’s grave just yet…
I didn't get to tell Vichama that we saw Mallko... 😭
The archon quest sended shivers down my spine istg.. Natlan is by far my favorite nation and I am really looking towards future update
Yeah, that’s why I haven’t done it. I’m careful with these Archon Quests. Rukkha’s erasure was the same kind of huge change in our game. Gotta check out these doomed npc-s before they disappear forever. I was kinda busy last month so I haven’t interacted with all of them.
In Inazuma we lost Teppei and in Natlan we lost Vigama, but we will never forget them.❤
And also we lost Chuychu, the hottest npc
@@sentboumaster3436 her too
Silver and Melus in Fontaine was already an emotional pain, Natlan just gave more
The quest was amazing... I'm happy they managed to get something this dramatic and thrilling.. I wanted traveller to have more heroic part in saving the nation... But it's still good 😊😊😊
Its not over yet
@@Keiki-kun so we still have a chance to be heros!! Awesome 😎!!! Can't wait till the the next quest 🥳🥳🥳 thanks man !
next could be mavuika / capitano, both will fight for the archohood position where the winner will pay with life for borrowing renova's power
@@lullabylullaby205 but he still need the gnosis for the Tsaritsa ... I think the Archon will just give it to him for saving Natlan ... So many possibilities... So excited 😆😆😆
@@lullabylullaby205 from the scene with mavuika and capitano, i think it would be a war in the night kingdom with traveller, mavuika, and capitano at least. not sure with the 6 heroes though
This community’s most problematic thing is if they perceived one single trait out of 99 traits , they will forget the 99 traits which makes the the stuff feel complete & exaggerated the hell out of that particular trait to create memes
They stuck at one thing
“Looks it’s pokemon” but never analysis other stuff like Abyss war upcoming , Red flag etc .
Nothing , In order to feel validation in the internet, They want to find Memes so that they will get upvotes that will make them feel happy
Yuck , super cringy mentality
Hoyo builds the Natlan hype through Neuvielette's words about a country of endless war, but they allow us to have fun enjoying the "beautiful new world" with cute pokemon first, all of this was planned by Hoyo, but isn't finished yet, they always save the big conclusion for the final arc
Hutao in that situation be like : 💲🤑💰⚰️📈💹
And then zhingli will say something about war profiteering
Being respawned into the memorial area after this quest hit me in the feels so hard. The tears were flowing when I read the paper in there 😭
