A lot of people didnt realize it and I feel it is one of the reasons why Genshin makes some things explicitly obvious. Those red ghosts that were attacking the gang when they were trying to escape where the people who sacrificed themselves to seal the Chasm. Their one goal was to prevent anything living from escaping the Chasm and that’s why they attacked. They were the souls fulfilling their missions until their last breath
Hm. I thought so, but I thought it was some kind of madness/hunger that drove those spirits to attack, but your idea definitely seems to be closer to what the authors intended
@@atriyakoller136 i also think it was a bit of madness too. those are souls who lost themselves, and the only thing they all remember is 1 mission, which is what seraphy wang explained. if the souls still knew themselves and not lost to madness, they'll let go people (if you know what I mean). they're kinda similar to the shadowy husks
the archon quest: self sacrifice isn’t as heroic or noble as its made it out to be, it’s a severe burden on others and xiao realizes that its his own twisted perception of redemption people: xiao should’ve died ?????????????
I don’t think people understand that Xiao’s character motivation is to live freely without burdens. He can’t learn to enjoy life if he dies now lmaoo. I get what people are talking about, but I think it’s because a lot of the playerbase has not noticed that Xiao’s supposed death flags, were the exact opposite lol. I mean his banner title is literally invitation to mundane life XD
No bc I've seen sm xiao hate recently💀 before 2.7 came out I saw ppl on tiktok wishing violent death on the dude, most likely mad abt his rerun like what happened with childe. And now people are genuinely mad that he didn't die even tho there were no hints about it like... what. It may be bc people want characters to die bc it's interesting for the plot, but the stuff I've seen is just... yikes.
Paimon kinda hovers, back in the childe fight when the floor breaks she also falls down Ushi is used for exorcism meaning he could harm itto but they still hang out
@@rusdanibudiwicaksono1879 it's kinda vague because of the term they use in Chinese, but it makes more sense why ushi compares his friendship with itto and xiao hanging with people despite his karma I didn't mean that ushi could exorcise itto, he isn't a spirit
Actually, I feel like Paimon starts flying down after traveler, but if you look closely, she starts spiraling after getting hit by falling debris from the floor falling apart. 😢 I love both Paimon and Ushi haha 😆
Wait yeah also why are all The Yaksha Fighting Hydro Yaksha Killed Geo Yaksha Animo Killed Pyro Electro Sacrifised and Dies of Full Karma to save Hydro Dies Of Full Karma
I like how bwaap was the one that realized that if he did not tell Zhongli what he was doing than he would have died! I got the same conclusion after completing this mission. Watching other content creators play this everyone missed this part of this whole quest!
I mean isn't it a given? The cutscene where he tells zhongli he's going to seek the nameless yaksha (right in the middle of the escape cutscene at that) is literally put there so we as a player aren't "????" when zhongli appears to save him in the last second. It's obvious he would've died if he didn't tell him, i dont know why you think people missed that? It's just an obvious conlusion that's why it wasn't mentioned explicitly
@@teacup8303 You would be surprised how many people wont get this. For example I asked my friend and he came to the conclusion that Zhongli is all Mighty and he knows everything that is happening in the region. He never even thought about this outcome.
I'm of the opinion that even if Xiao hadn't talked to Zhongli, Zhongli would have know. As has already been shown, Zhongli only acts as a clueless mortal.
Can we just appreciate this game's portrayal of survivor's guilt and two different ways it can affect people? Jeez, this quest hit hard when I played through it.
19:22 Zhongli, the man who speaks the hard facts, is actually denying/bending the truth even though we have eye-witnesses and evidence. Then proceeds to distracts us with the new fan. Zhongli is turning into Venti now xD

Probably fighting to justify their own reasoning. You need middle man in the group for a good reason and she fit the role to a T. Not counting her job as a lawyer, she's the best person to have when a situation will or would escalate despite her claim not liking crack of relationship in front of her.

Me. As a xiao main and lover who is obsessed with his lore and was very much interested in seeing the other characters in this quest, I was not disappointed in the slightest. I know we all have our issues with hoyoverse but they truly outdid themselves with this quest😭🙏🏻

xiao appreciators: 15:27 i knew he wasnt gonna die cuz i didnt hear any spoilers of his death amongst any xiao enthusiasts but damn it was sad. i really like the story behind the quest though, even if sacrifice, in some contexts, are worth thousands of lives, its not as big of a wow factors as heroics make it seem like. also, even if xiao was only included in the later half mostly of the quest, this was a character arc for him i really liked edit: my concerned friends as i wander off: 15:44
Corrupted Bosacius’ “fight” is underwhelming ngl. I guess Hoyoverse was too occupied to make his sick in-game model or interesting fight after Shanghai lockdown. I mean he had a great buildup that can be used as a cool obstacle/boss to fight against
It makes sence lore wise . You arent fighting him , you fighting an illusion based on him . A very old illusion at that . They still could have made it more interesting though , agreed .
from game developer standpoint i think this is not it. altho he is "gone" we might some other version of him made by futui cause you wouldnt wamma design a boss fight that lasts only 1 minute in game such as genshin
what baffled me the most was the 'follow' feature. I was at awe, like, they could've implement this to make certain questline immersive but they 'can't?' or 'won't' because the Devs is, as Bwapp said, STINGY!
Itto and Paimon sharing the same half a braincell....and the same birthday makes me wheeze.

Paimon kinda hovers, back in the childe fight when the floor breaks she also falls down
Ushi is used for exorcism meaning he could harm itto but they still hang out
Itto is oni (yokai), not a ghost or spirit. Exorcism implies they only work on such, like those spirits in Yae Miko story quest.
@@rusdanibudiwicaksono1879 it's kinda vague because of the term they use in Chinese, but it makes more sense why ushi compares his friendship with itto and xiao hanging with people despite his karma

I think that paimon kinda uses propulsion to hover off the ground.
Like no ground, nothing to push off of, no flying
@@rusdanibudiwicaksono1879 Weirdly, itto said "exorcise youkai and spirits."
Actually, I feel like Paimon starts flying down after traveler, but if you look closely, she starts spiraling after getting hit by falling debris from the floor falling apart. 😢 I love both Paimon and Ushi haha 😆
Paimon: Ouch
Bwaap: "Paimon, you fly how did you get hurt? You could literally fly"
Very *e p i c*
@anon☆ There's 2 nonsense thing during that scene...
first SHE SOMEHOW DROWNED! next SHE FALLS DOWN WHEN SHE CAN NOT ONLY FLY BUT TELEPORT(?) OUT TO NOWHERE
I agreed with y'all
Tfw the five Vision holders and the five Yaksha have the same corresponding elements.
Itto vs Yelan = Geo Yaksha vs Hydro Yaksha.
oh sht the parallelism
Wait yeah also why are all The Yaksha Fighting
Hydro Yaksha Killed Geo Yaksha
Animo Killed Pyro
Electro Sacrifised and Dies of Full Karma to save
Hydro Dies Of Full Karma

Being a Yanfei main, her role in this quest made me happy
i don't think xiao is overlooked in this quest tho-
Genshin facial expressions have been getting better and increased(finally) by the day tho let’s all be honest. We’ve all noticed it truly in Inazuma with the traveler.

Xiao has finally come out of his shell a bit! I’m happy he finally realized he can still hang out with others!
the fact that they clap together after itto's attempt of opening the door using his punch instead of the button(?) is HILARIOUS HAHAHAHAHAHAH
I like how chill bwaap's voice is
then you hear him scream and laugh and you get confused if he's chill or panicky as hell
when liyue is in danger: I sleep
when xiao is in trouble: "hold my cup of tea, i'm coming boi!!"
Zhongli-
he's the only living old friend (servant?) he has left, of course he's moving his ass to save him (idk in what terms he is with ganyu, she tells us she fought alongside morax but doesn't seem to know he is zhongli)
Bro Zhongli gaslight gatekeep girlbossing us at the end will ALWAYS have me in tears XD
I love how the chat screamed and spammed “XIAOOOO” when xiao said “GENERAL ALATUS, FALLING IN!”
“Always tell someone where you’re going”
This is actually a real life lesson. Survival expert Kinga Philipps could attest to this survival tip.
That final scene is basically telling us we'll run into geo daddy outside of Liyue
zhongli using the statue of the 7 to teleport over is something i can imagine him doing. like “ima be back in a bit.”
Bruh the last cutscene in this quest is probably the most depressing one in the game so far imo
Itto being MvP. Best Genshin character.
Zhongli when Liyue in danger: *Peacefully sipping tea*
Zhongli when Xiao in danger: *sonic*
The end cut scene literally had me bawling my eyes out… even now just rewatching it, I’m still teary
Zhongli straight playing when he says he's a mortal
Zhongli just don't wanna his last child die.
It's kinda funny each time u see the traveller using dull blade while being the most important and kinda weak main character
"Kinda weak"
