Xilonen guide is in progress! I wasn't given early access to her this version 5.1, so I'm only able to start the guide now. You can look forward to the guide coming out in the next few days! Thank you for your patience :)
We all look forward to your guide. You make every character's kit digestible no matter how long they are and it is all easy to understand. Take your time and there is no rush
Every 12 hours I keep checking Sevy's channel... T_T not that I need the guide, but I WANT THE GUIDEEEE.. I wanna see a C2 Xilonen in a Clorinde / Electro DPS team comp.
Whole AQ is an emotional rollercoaster. The despair quest is just so... painful. 5:03:43 The balloon was supposed to stop there but just turned away because everyone is already dead by the time you reach. Goddamn. The storytelling is just out of this world.
Watching this playthrough made me realize how many different things changed. For example, the courier at 4:53:03 is a guy named Raman for me, whom I had found earlier wounded and some Saurians took him back. Buuut in your playthrough you saved some people I didn't...and didn't save Raman and some people I saved. The Traveler is just one person, after all, and can't be in multiple places after all. Gah this quest was so good at emphasizing that you really can't save everyone, no matter how powerful you are or how much you want to.
You could be right. One of the moon sisters' corpse is the moon we see in the sky according to the story. The second corpse is nowhere to be found. And the third sister is grieving alone in a palace
@@flamescion8552DAWG STAAWPP I WAS THINKING OF THE SAME THING. IT WAS SAID THAT THE TSARITSA "witnessed" something that made her close herself and that changed her, what if it was the death of her sisters and she is the only one alive???
I really like this story. It's very well-constructed. For example, if you go along with the Captain's plan and think: it's no big deal sacrificing the past for Natlan's future; The problem is shown to you in an earlier chapter, where Mavuika sacrifices her treasured memories of her close friends for Kachina. A future with no past is sitting in a barren room.
And also Capitano's argument after that. To trust that Humanity will inevitably flourish To connect it with your comparison it's as if those Objects have begun to start piling up again
@@hayond656 Capitano came from a nation built by Humans. He is simply asking the Archon to trust in humans to rebuild. But Mauvika is from a long line of Human Archons. She is arguing if we can end it now, we end now. Both have merit to their perspective. The game doesn't say one is right or wrong.
@@Phantom_Zone God, I love a conundrum like this. Where both solutions have risks, potential success, but also potential disaster. And yeah, Capitano's plan makes sense from an outside perspective.

A means to an end. Vs our perspective. We've befriended everyone and intend to rescue as many as we can. The game is getting serious. They're preparing us.
4:57:48 if you choose to go here ealier you save a mother and child but if you choose the fatui frist the people at 4:51:50 die and only the baby dendro saurian lives
i think i did pretty good, i talked with all of the npc during the war, for example i managed to save the old doctor, i noticed she isn't there in sevy's stream
It's really a shame most streamers I watch just skip over the map intel. There was a lot of info there that really added to the current situation each step, especially once things started getting really dire. But oh well, no one reads.
@@danieltoppo6682 no he didn't read all of it. he practically skips all of it when mavuika gets powered up.. they didn't bother to look at the map in which u can contact different characters across natlan. oh well
This is the first time a conflict truly showed a sense of dread and despair, you see things getting more and more dire and people actually dying during the war, and while you can choose where to go it is impossible to save everyone, the place you go last will always be empty. Passing near the Scions' base, the same one you do the reputation and kinich quest and seeing it taken by monsters and everyone there dead, it's insane, we now know why the abyss is a menace
@@zyzhang1130 No the abyss order from the sibling is different from this one, this is pure Abyss, and Enjou already confirmed that there are different faction in the Abyss
6:11:40 and 3:44:48 The first timestamp stated that Capitano was sent by Ronova on his long journey. As for the second timestamp, it stated that what Ronova did was an “expression of love” to which the Cryo Archon is the god of. After that it stated that Ronova succumbed to self-pity. In the Teyvat Teaser, Dain said “She is a god with no love left for her people, nor do they have any left for her”. So does Ronova have something to do with the Cryo Archon?
I love seeing other playthroughs because it shows me how things could have differed had I chosen a different route. For me, I saved the guy and girl trying to deliver supplies, the doctor and her son, the guy who was full of doubts, the injured people near the scions of the canopy, the mother and child, the lone baby yumkasaur, and the warriors near the children of echoes (including the saurian, wich doesn't happen if you didn't rescue them earlier). Also, I confirmed that the downed rhino was actually Toto. Kachina said he was always so gentle, but he risked his life and stayed behind to protect the children of echoes even after all the other saurians have evacuated. Toto is fine btw, an npc helped tend to his injuries. I'm just mad we didn't get to see how Vichama died... he really fulfilled his wish, I just didn't expect it to happen so soon...
i think i'm going to be watching playthroughs for two weeks, I love seeing what everyone picks. Thanks about the info about Toto! My jaw dropped when I saw Vichama on the list bc he was the only other person I recognized besides chuychu. I saw they put flowers at the spot where he used to look out at the Scions of the Canopy :(
@@lulufortytwo3884 No problem~ sharing info is the best part about having everyone experience different things~ also, I quite literally screamed when I saw Vichama's name.

Ok reading Toto’s name stopped me from reading on for a bit because of shock. I had a roller coaster of emotions and thank you for reconfirming he’s fine huhu
@@dettebelle3308 lol don't worry, also I cried when I saw a downed rhino. I just had to make sure that it was ok, even if it wasn't Toto. The dialog was pretty cute though. Paimon scolded him for not evacuating with the rest of the saurians 😂
Same, I've been watching different streamers on these part, currently only a few gave attention to the details to these. Which is really good detail they added, different routes and everything. Also a bit of exploring on those area, because at the end you'll actually see who you save and what they say to you.
Wow, it really matters the order of completion. I first wen to 4:58:00, and there were a female and girl hiding using dead body of hydro fatui. And then i went to saurians - when i arrived, there were no people, but only abyssal saurians and little yumkasaur hiding on tower. It’s so scary to think, what happened to that family at 4:58:00 mission…
This is PEAK CINEMA from Hoyo. The entire quest felt like it took five minutes or something (especially act 4) because time just zoom zoomed. Can't wait for the next act, Hoyo has been cooking real good
i can't even imagine what kind of depression are we gonna experience in the upcoming archon quest. the act 4 was so emotional already, so many casualties, Chuychu..
Watching several playthroughs from different streamers right now... It's amazing to see how everyone can have a different experience of the Natlan War during Act 4 depending on their choices... So many possibilities and so many (sad) stories on the war grounds. The writing and gaming experience here is 💯!
This was definitely best AQ so far, and very adult, grim and sad... Where now all this whiney hater's, who kept saying that Natlan not nation of war, that there will be Pokémon tournament, and story is too childish...
@@rain_y01 exactly my same thought, and since act 3 of both sumeru and fontaine were just awful, I think I can now safely say that natlan has the best archon quest, and it's not even close
@@rain_y01 act 3 of sumeru and fontaine were like "when will we go to act 4". But natlan was like intense. How will we end it. What is the secret etc.
4:52:12 Interesting, if you choose the north instead of the south, all of them are dead and the saurian baby is crying at the top of the watch tower. 4:53:39 When I got there, nobody was fighting anymore and after defeating all enemies the two old guys came out and where just speechless. 4:57:56 You see the fat Cryo/Hydro Fatui at the tree? As I choose the north first, his corpse hid a daughter/mother pair. I guess they are gone now. 5:07:14 It is one of those rare moments where the Traveler talks and you don't realize it, because of the missing VA. 5:10:45 "Poor rhino!" But doesn't check if the rhino is still alive. Spoiler Alert, die rhino is fine, if you go to it the doctor near its head will tell you that Toto will be okay.
4:51:25 i cry the hardest during this part because mine is diff, everyone was dead here, only baby saurian left alone.. n the way Paimon speaks during that moment.. was heartbreaking...
I didn’t love 5.0’s quest that much but it wasn’t a chore or anything. The only thing I felt was well done was Kachina’s story arc, all the stuff around it was a bit underwhelming and too heavy on exposition.
I noticed sevy is missing quite a lot of details without looking around and just rush to the next point etc. Example at 4:37:16 nearby there was a female doctor + an npc that need help but because sevy just rush straight to the next point, she didn't go save them hence they (I think as well as the son of the female doctor) didn't appear anymore later on. Presumably dead.
The part where u choose which battles to fight, it affects what u see towards the end. I chose different ones from sevy. The NPCs sevy helped, mine were dead by the time i reached them.
4:57:29 idk that if you choose different place to save first will give different results. Bcs in this part in my case, there's still two ppl save bcs the Ice Fatui protect them so they can hide under the bridge
Watching me made me glad that I actually paid to anything happening on the screen. Sevy just spammed teleport button as fast as she could, not doing any interactions and ultimately losing much more people than I did
Dang according to the comments people actually watched this entire thing and not played it themselves lmfao. But this was the best quest in ALL of gaming that i've experienced, I wish to replay this quest again
5:27:00 Chasca did have Ancient Name before, she just got acknowledged by Wayob and Hero from 500 years ago at this moment. She took part in Night Warden Wars with Kachina after all.
I think the captain asked the night lord for help to come with us to the final assault. He will pay the price for the power used by Mavuika with his own life, and Mavuika will give us the gnosis (also pyro mc powers) in return for this sacrifice so that we can deliver it to Tsaritsa. but I hope I'm proven wrong and Capiton will be a playable character.
Does the casualties depend on how long you defeat the enemies? Cuz i swear i had the worst scenario when you fight the abyss saurians. No one survived except a baby saurian at the tower😭. Paimon's cracking voice makes it more painful😭
@@noobilus2295 yeah but I honestly thought it was just flavour text of sorts given how we’ve always been given the “illusion of choice” in Genshin whenever it came to dialogue, actions etc. for the most part
Another game I’m playing called Kai no Kiseki has the same exact execution of the reveal of this Archon Quest about the truth of the world but with different series. If we assume this is the direction they’re heading, then I can likely guess that maybe Khanreiah is the truth of the entire world of Genshin and we’re all living in it…
Let me propose: Fischl, Hu tao, Itto, Faruzan, Furina and Citlali all in one place interacting with each other, you got the most delulu from each region.
5:44:27 traces of the unknown god. Its the same cubic pattern we see in the beginning of the game during the time both siblings facing the unknown god 😱
6:07:22 we won’t have to leave Paimon for good, she just doesn’t want anything to happen to us. I’ll be honest ppl who say we’ll have to leave Paimon probably want it to happen.
04:50:25 I wasn't fast enough when I get to this area they were all already dead there is a hidden timer, my death counter was way larger than other people
Capitano is Anfortas Albrecht!!!! There are only 2 Khaenrian commanders we know of. Dain, leader of the black serpent knights, and Anfortas, leader of the Swan Knights. (Also known as one of the 4 strongest warriors in Khaenriah from the time of Perinheri.)
I love paimon’s voice acting in this AQ. She’s not super annoying as always, she does say some pretty great lines, and her delivery when it comes to those emotion scenes capture the essence of war so frickin well.
Being a new player (started last month), I want to catch up to be able to get Event Rewards, even if I have to skip other quests. But MAN, the characters and designs are so rad, I really don't want to skip anything 🥺😭
It all depends on how much you are invested in the Story & how strongly fomo affects you. From my perspective, as someone who enjoys Story over anything else: The rewards are very small (500 primogems is around 3 wishes) they almost don't matter (you won't even get enough for a 4*). It will be much, much better to do the Quests in correct order if you care for the Story at all. I can't imagine skipping all the Dain Quests and going straight to this with so much context missing. But again, this is highly dependent on what you personally want from the game
I do every archon quest with the Traveler and three other 4-star characters so I don't mow down the content too quickly and get a better feel for it. I was using Electro Traveler, Chevreuse, Yanfei, and Fischl. During act 4, where I was on the hot air balloon, helping out in one area after another, each enemy was slightly tough - it felt like an actual war.
so i did this yesterday and i think the "war " part is diferent, like you can do better or worst, i rember in the part of the saurians, there was no people and only a baby saurian that we could save (there was people dead too) , also the young and old men that joind in my game they actually didn't because there was no fighter left to help them and they went to the same city and lasty there was a part were there was many fatui dead protecting a mother and her daughter. so i think it change depending on how good or fat you are... (i even talk to the people i could save in the main city)
The lore dump in this archon quest left me with so many unanswered questions. For one, I always thought the cataclysm is about celestia punishing kanriah, and abyss is basically kannrians being cursed by celestia and turned into monsters. Now the picture is totally different, as according to the captain, abyss attacked kanrian. Meanwhile the sibling is the leader of the abyss order but is still revered by the captain. I’m not sure how to reconcile all these new info
@zyzhang1130 tbf the topic of khanreiahs destruction has already been discussed in the desert world quest + the abyss order and the abyss are different! the abyss order (like the name suggests) is the sibling ordering the more 'intelligent' forms of the abyss. the abyss itself is uncontrolled!
@@sp1ritsoother sure but are those ary under the command of the abyss sibling? If not who is in charge of the army? As far as we know they were indeed formally Kannriahian
@@zyzhang1130 the abyss sibling has not affiliated with the independent actions of the abyss. the abyss itself is just a place (or entity based on what kitsune seiguu said) that corrodes the human and light realms of tevyat. like you said, the abyss order is made up of khanreiahans + our sibling who use the abyss monsters to do their work and eventually find a way to rebel against the heavenly principles. the invasion of natlan didn't seem to have any correlation to the abyss order itself since we saw no abyss lectors present at the war and the rifts that spawned all seemed to be coming from directly the abyss as a few npcs mentioned that they were 'drawn to living beings and conflict' instead of them being ordered to attack certain areas
@@sp1ritsoother no abyss lectors or other intelligent form of being is a great observation that I have missed. So now we have one more faction into the mix (celectia, archons, fatui, abyss order and now abyss)
@@sp1ritsoother but what about cataclysm? Is it not about celestia punishing Kaneriah? Why according to the captain it was about abyss invading kannriiah?
Hi Sevy...I wish I had been there during the live stream as it is always fun being with others when we are doing archon quests together. I love your livestream the best as your reactions are close to mine .....genshin has improved their quest ...every single one has become more detailed & unique to the region and introduction of new characters ....I hope I win my 50/50 I love the new geo character ...hope to see you soon in the next livestream ...luv sm
Everyone out here saying what routes they did and who they saved and I'm over here confused and not remembering because I just choosed at random. 😭 Now that I'm watching other people's streams I don't even know what route I did and who I saved...
I was agonizing over my choices of who to go save for AGES and spent a lot of time going around looking for people to save around the teleport points ...and then there's Sevy who didn't even realize she had to choose who to save and who to leave for dead and just picked the first thing she saw teleporting to it LMAO
I didn't play the whole story yet but it does suck that Kinich and Kachina's voices aren't in the quest. I completely understand why though, and I support every VA's decision to go on strike. It sucks but it's necessary if they want to be protected against AI. I just hope the situation resolves with a good outcome for them so that they can return to voicing this amazing game. Edit: finished the story quest yesterday, holy SHIT.
Good work miHoYo. Take note, publishers of the world. Game in the past used to be like this, not identity politics, not DEI and all that bs but passion, love and unity. It's this kind of peak moment that gamers want. The moment that many would remember for all the years to come and reflect back on with pride and joy that "I was there" ...This is how you make a game...
Devs: okay. We put our biggesr lore nuke in the middle of our hardst cutscene. So that way, only lorebooks would notice, and cadduals still get their eye candy That sure is a win win
@@Nytesplat because its kinda annoying and immersion breaking that something in real life is affecting my in game experience that much. like you dont understand how weird it is for me that everything is voiced but just 2 characters are not, i use EN so i dont have to read, now if i have to read might as well read the whole way.
It is not disaster. It is war! No mattter how strong you are, you cannot save all lifes. The chapter really shows the cruelty of war, which is, I think, one of the most impressive stories in the game. Pray for eternal peace of the world.
@@misudenshi264What??? Literally where are you getting that information bro He makes it very clear that he was apart of the Black Sun era of Khaenri’ah, NOT the Crimson Moon era, after the change of dynasties there were no Crimson Moon members in Khaenri’ah, all the ones that were left fled to other nations like Arlecchino’s ancestors.
the va's mic probably didn't have the de-esser turned on or the de-esser was too low, so it made the S louder than needed to be. it's really weird that her va has de-esser issues with citlali but there's none in hsr as march
@@rinnies7474it gets even weirder, because apparently mobile didn't have this issue. I myself played on an IPad and the sound was completely fine, but here and for some other streamers the Ssses were terrible. I've seen others say that on mobile they had no problems as well
So I have noticed something weird. When I play Genshin, the characters never peak with the pop filter when pronouncing “s” words. However, every time I watch a streamer, they do. What’s that about?
I heard it depends on what device you use too. Mobile players said they had no issues while a lot of PC players (especially headphone users) did. No idea about console players.
@@Luna-ur4zv VA are doing strike becoz of AI. How their voice could be used etc. Chinese and jp Voiceactors are very respected. Hence there is no issue with jp and cn. But for english, the company (US based) didnt care. All VAs asked was a bond of paper as surety. The hoyo could come in middle and settle but they also ignored.
i still cant understand how people can say that aether/lumine is too young(like xilonen etc) aren't they +500 and also isn't all natlan archon quest about abyss it would be disappointing if siblings didn't get to meet again in 5.3
The people of Teyvat simply assume their age by appearance, and the traveler never made a point of correcting it, so he lets others believe that they are young even for humans.
@RangeCMYK paimon probably knows since when we reunited with the abyss sibling for the first time, they refer to the traveller by their real name. she doesn't question it so either hyv forgot or maybe she's one of the only people who do know their true name
@@RangeCMYK Travel amongs the star✔️ appear like a shooting star when descent and leaving✔️ Never leave a name ✔️ Traveller is one of The Nameless/Trailblazer!?
4:51:15 gaaah i got this outcome too!! noooooooo! the saurians. goddamn, i cried when i got to this part in my playthrough.😭😭😭😭😭💔💔💔💔 i'm so sorry i failed you 😭
What happens in the quests depends on which mission you choose to do in the war. You can't save everyone and no matter what people will die; you're just choosing where.
I think its just english language expressions like sometime when you call land you called it earth instead, I dont know tho english is not my first language

@@DoNeeh I read every battle report I could and felt so saddened whenever the desth toll rose
The choices we make will also affect people we save. One group of people savvy saved was dead when i get there.
@@DoNeeh that's why i wait for rednas gameplay cuz he reads everything
Wow, it really matters the order of completion. I first wen to 4:58:00, and there were a female and girl hiding using dead body of hydro fatui. And then i went to saurians - when i arrived, there were no people, but only abyssal saurians and little yumkasaur hiding on tower.
It’s so scary to think, what happened to that family at 4:58:00 mission…
This is PEAK CINEMA from Hoyo. The entire quest felt like it took five minutes or something (especially act 4) because time just zoom zoomed. Can't wait for the next act, Hoyo has been cooking real good
i can't even imagine what kind of depression are we gonna experience in the upcoming archon quest. the act 4 was so emotional already, so many casualties, Chuychu..
I thought Ororon would be more of an emo kind of character from his appearance, but he turned out to be quite cute.
Citlali and Ororon interactions were so good and fun, props to both of her VAs
Watching several playthroughs from different streamers right now... It's amazing to see how everyone can have a different experience of the Natlan War during Act 4 depending on their choices... So many possibilities and so many (sad) stories on the war grounds. The writing and gaming experience here is 💯!
This was definitely best AQ so far, and very adult, grim and sad... Where now all this whiney hater's, who kept saying that Natlan not nation of war, that there will be Pokémon tournament, and story is too childish...
Still there Complaining.
I think Act 3 was okay but Act 4 blew my mind! It was too good!
@@rain_y01 exactly my same thought, and since act 3 of both sumeru and fontaine were just awful, I think I can now safely say that natlan has the best archon quest, and it's not even close
@@rain_y01 act 3 of sumeru and fontaine were like "when will we go to act 4". But natlan was like intense. How will we end it. What is the secret etc.
@@djampoucheukap1742but Natlan act 1 and 2 were worse than Fontaine and Sumeru so how does it make Natlan the best??
As an anemo main Im ashamed I didn't foresaw chuychu death
3:35:29 Columbina may be proven to be an Angel with this info🛐
4:52:12 Interesting, if you choose the north instead of the south, all of them are dead and the saurian baby is crying at the top of the watch tower.
4:53:39 When I got there, nobody was fighting anymore and after defeating all enemies the two old guys came out and where just speechless.
4:57:56 You see the fat Cryo/Hydro Fatui at the tree? As I choose the north first, his corpse hid a daughter/mother pair. I guess they are gone now.
5:07:14 It is one of those rare moments where the Traveler talks and you don't realize it, because of the missing VA.
5:10:45 "Poor rhino!" But doesn't check if the rhino is still alive. Spoiler Alert, die rhino is fine, if you go to it the doctor near its head will tell you that Toto will be okay.
5:07:20 the traveller has voice lines in this part. guess EN didnt cuz JP did and yeah you know shit is real when traveller starts talking
i think it is because of the strike
Oh that makes sense, as an EN player that part felt like it should have been voiced :/
@@ATMEIDAREYAIDOUBLEDAREYA Sadly, EN dub suffered a great hit in this version due to the VA strike
Also in Jp there were Kinich and Kachina 's voices in the last battle
4:51:25 i cry the hardest during this part because mine is diff, everyone was dead here, only baby saurian left alone.. n the way Paimon speaks during that moment.. was heartbreaking...
I rly loved all Natlan AQs. none of them felt like a chore. I've seen ppl hate a bit on the 3rd act but imo it was one of the strongest 😅
I didn’t love 5.0’s quest that much but it wasn’t a chore or anything. The only thing I felt was well done was Kachina’s story arc, all the stuff around it was a bit underwhelming and too heavy on exposition.
3rd act was needed for 4th to exist at all, people always hate the set up acts in archon quests but they're NECESSARY
So that was captain orginal power and he became weaker day by day for 500 years still he is this powerful
Maybe he returned his power for help to Natlan (Mavuika) in fight vs Abyss
I noticed sevy is missing quite a lot of details without looking around and just rush to the next point etc. Example at 4:37:16 nearby there was a female doctor + an npc that need help but because sevy just rush straight to the next point, she didn't go save them hence they (I think as well as the son of the female doctor) didn't appear anymore later on. Presumably dead.
I thought people were just glazing the shit out of this AQ but jesus fucking christ it was so PEAK.
The part where u choose which battles to fight, it affects what u see towards the end. I chose different ones from sevy. The NPCs sevy helped, mine were dead by the time i reached them.
If you have Aether instead of Lumine, Ororon calls you "Gramps" ☠️ I was so shocked when I heard that LMAO.
4:57:29 idk that if you choose different place to save first will give different results. Bcs in this part in my case, there's still two ppl save bcs the Ice Fatui protect them so they can hide under the bridge
Watching me made me glad that I actually paid to anything happening on the screen. Sevy just spammed teleport button as fast as she could, not doing any interactions and ultimately losing much more people than I did
Truee there s so may details on the map
Thank you reading loud !! Many times I don’t have time to play so first I listen as a podcast your videos example in the gym
Wow i just realised if u take different places to fight you have different dialogues and circumstances
Dang according to the comments people actually watched this entire thing and not played it themselves lmfao. But this was the best quest in ALL of gaming that i've experienced, I wish to replay this quest again
Maybe it's recency bias, but this was the best archon quest in genshin
5:27:00 Chasca did have Ancient Name before, she just got acknowledged by Wayob and Hero from 500 years ago at this moment. She took part in Night Warden Wars with Kachina after all.
"If you're endless then we're deathless! For Natlan!"
-Mavuika probably
I think the captain asked the night lord for help to come with us to the final assault. He will pay the price for the power used by Mavuika with his own life, and Mavuika will give us the gnosis (also pyro mc powers) in return for this sacrifice so that we can deliver it to Tsaritsa. but I hope I'm proven wrong and Capiton will be a playable character.
Heavenly principle envoy: bounjuer
Does the casualties depend on how long you defeat the enemies? Cuz i swear i had the worst scenario when you fight the abyss saurians. No one survived except a baby saurian at the tower😭. Paimon's cracking voice makes it more painful😭
omg same I realised even for the children of the echoes one there were only 4 npcs left for me while Sevy had more including the Sauran 😭
It did mention that what happened at those spot depend on the order you choose to save
@@noobilus2295 yeah but I honestly thought it was just flavour text of sorts given how we’ve always been given the “illusion of choice” in Genshin whenever it came to dialogue, actions etc. for the most part
@@jasontan7523 true but seem like they really improved alot
Another game I’m playing called Kai no Kiseki has the same exact execution of the reveal of this Archon Quest about the truth of the world but with different series. If we assume this is the direction they’re heading, then I can likely guess that maybe Khanreiah is the truth of the entire world of Genshin and we’re all living in it…
I need cloud retainer and Citlali to interact solely for the stories they'd tell
Add in Faruzan too
Let me propose:
Fischl, Hu tao, Itto, Faruzan, Furina and Citlali all in one place interacting with each other, you got the most delulu from each region.
Talking to the npcs makes a difference to save extra people, and the injured giraffe was Toto. He lives though luckily.
I wish I can play these 2 acts again. Holy frick these were so good! I'm gonaa make-do and just relive it by watching the streamers I like :')
Cutscenes
4:46:30
5:32:23
5:43:48
5:44:27 traces of the unknown god. Its the same cubic pattern we see in the beginning of the game during the time both siblings facing the unknown god 😱
6:07:22 we won’t have to leave Paimon for good, she just doesn’t want anything to happen to us. I’ll be honest ppl who say we’ll have to leave Paimon probably want it to happen.
04:50:25 I wasn't fast enough when I get to this area they were all already dead
there is a hidden timer, my death counter was way larger than other people
Capitano is Anfortas Albrecht!!!!
There are only 2 Khaenrian commanders we know of. Dain, leader of the black serpent knights, and Anfortas, leader of the Swan Knights. (Also known as one of the 4 strongest warriors in Khaenriah from the time of Perinheri.)
I love paimon’s voice acting in this AQ. She’s not super annoying as always, she does say some pretty great lines, and her delivery when it comes to those emotion scenes capture the essence of war so frickin well.
Being a new player (started last month), I want to catch up to be able to get Event Rewards, even if I have to skip other quests. But MAN, the characters and designs are so rad, I really don't want to skip anything 🥺😭
Just complete teyvat quest and you will be able to play natlan quest.
It all depends on how much you are invested in the Story & how strongly fomo affects you.
From my perspective, as someone who enjoys Story over anything else:
The rewards are very small (500 primogems is around 3 wishes) they almost don't matter (you won't even get enough for a 4*). It will be much, much better to do the Quests in correct order if you care for the Story at all.
I can't imagine skipping all the Dain Quests and going straight to this with so much context missing.
But again, this is highly dependent on what you personally want from the game
If that's worth it or not depends on if you care about going through the story in order tbh
I do every archon quest with the Traveler and three other 4-star characters so I don't mow down the content too quickly and get a better feel for it. I was using Electro Traveler, Chevreuse, Yanfei, and Fischl. During act 4, where I was on the hot air balloon, helping out in one area after another, each enemy was slightly tough - it felt like an actual war.
4:59:21 whoa I didn't know whichever place you go to first would affect the story. When I went to this place, there were only 3 of them left.
Same
5:07:19 it's sad that this part was not voiced in EN, they are voiced in other languages
I’m just here to say that Lauren Amante and Corina Boettger carried the entire emotional weight of this arc of the AQ. Give these women their flowers.
so i did this yesterday and i think the "war " part is diferent, like you can do better or worst, i rember in the part of the saurians, there was no people and only a baby saurian that we could save (there was people dead too) , also the young and old men that joind in my game they actually didn't because there was no fighter left to help them and they went to the same city and lasty there was a part were there was many fatui dead protecting a mother and her daughter. so i think it change depending on how good or fat you are... (i even talk to the people i could save in the main city)
The lore dump in this archon quest left me with so many unanswered questions. For one, I always thought the cataclysm is about celestia punishing kanriah, and abyss is basically kannrians being cursed by celestia and turned into monsters. Now the picture is totally different, as according to the captain, abyss attacked kanrian. Meanwhile the sibling is the leader of the abyss order but is still revered by the captain. I’m not sure how to reconcile all these new info
@zyzhang1130 tbf the topic of khanreiahs destruction has already been discussed in the desert world quest + the abyss order and the abyss are different! the abyss order (like the name suggests) is the sibling ordering the more 'intelligent' forms of the abyss. the abyss itself is uncontrolled!
@@sp1ritsoother sure but are those ary under the command of the abyss sibling? If not who is in charge of the army? As far as we know they were indeed formally Kannriahian
@@zyzhang1130 the abyss sibling has not affiliated with the independent actions of the abyss. the abyss itself is just a place (or entity based on what kitsune seiguu said) that corrodes the human and light realms of tevyat. like you said, the abyss order is made up of khanreiahans + our sibling who use the abyss monsters to do their work and eventually find a way to rebel against the heavenly principles.
the invasion of natlan didn't seem to have any correlation to the abyss order itself since we saw no abyss lectors present at the war and the rifts that spawned all seemed to be coming from directly the abyss as a few npcs mentioned that they were 'drawn to living beings and conflict' instead of them being ordered to attack certain areas
@@sp1ritsoother no abyss lectors or other intelligent form of being is a great observation that I have missed. So now we have one more faction into the mix (celectia, archons, fatui, abyss order and now abyss)
@@sp1ritsoother but what about cataclysm? Is it not about celestia punishing Kaneriah? Why according to the captain it was about abyss invading kannriiah?
This is probably why we didn't have a map expansion, because of the war campaign
Hi Sevy...I wish I had been there during the live stream as it is always fun being with others when we are doing archon quests together. I love your livestream the best as your reactions are close to mine .....genshin has improved their quest ...every single one has become more detailed & unique to the region and introduction of new characters ....I hope I win my 50/50 I love the new geo character ...hope to see you soon in the next livestream ...luv sm
Quest had me in tears
Everyone out here saying what routes they did and who they saved and I'm over here confused and not remembering because I just choosed at random. 😭 Now that I'm watching other people's streams I don't even know what route I did and who I saved...
I was agonizing over my choices of who to go save for AGES and spent a lot of time going around looking for people to save around the teleport points
...and then there's Sevy who didn't even realize she had to choose who to save and who to leave for dead and just picked the first thing she saw teleporting to it LMAO
Easily the best archon quest for me, it was peak
4:46:54 traveler is not using dull blade anymore?
Since last quest yeah
After getting bodied by Arlecchino, Traveler finally started using slightly better weapons lol.
Casually giving Paimon PTSD.
I didn't play the whole story yet but it does suck that Kinich and Kachina's voices aren't in the quest. I completely understand why though, and I support every VA's decision to go on strike. It sucks but it's necessary if they want to be protected against AI. I just hope the situation resolves with a good outcome for them so that they can return to voicing this amazing game.
Edit: finished the story quest yesterday, holy SHIT.
Literally my fav Gacha RUclipsr/Streamer EVER
I swear to you that I was doing a whole battlecry this whole fight 4:59:02 . This is by far the most stressful quest that they have given to us😢😢
6:11:21 outlander Capitano mentioned
Good work miHoYo. Take note, publishers of the world.
Game in the past used to be like this, not identity politics, not DEI and all that bs but passion, love and unity.
It's this kind of peak moment that gamers want. The moment that many would remember for all the years to come and reflect back on with pride and joy that "I was there" ...This is how you make a game...
Paimons VA was cooking in act 4 someone get here an Oscar 😭😭
Final fight is Mavuika, Capitano, Traveller vs Abyss? I want to see it
BRUH! Citlali clocked him 💀💀💀 also their dynamics are really fun and so entertaining to watch
This was...pure..cinema..❤
Hey man, I cried too. And my choices of who to save first made me save a lot less than you. I had so much 0hp civilians
5:44:29 NAHHHH THEY HAD TO DROP THAT BIG ASS LORE SH IN THE MIDDLE OF THE CUTSCENE XD
It looked insaneeee, to think there's THAT behind the fake sky is terrifying and interesting
Devs: okay. We put our biggesr lore nuke in the middle of our hardst cutscene. So that way, only lorebooks would notice, and cadduals still get their eye candy
That sure is a win win
Kiana is homeless :(
3:09:19 I didn't check why there was a sigil at the fatui's entrance to the secret source ruin.
was there a common chest down there?
5:39:49 absolute cinema with the beat drop
How come kinich and kachina don’t have dialogue?
Don't know about kinich but kachina va is in hospital for her injury
many english vas are having a strike due to ai stealing their voices so unfortunately for us, some characters may not be voiced until that is fixed
us JP or KR or CN, EN is kinda a lost cause for now. either wait for them to replace the VAs or the strike to end
@@siliconhawklol why use a whole different language and not be able to understand any character over 2 we simply can’t hear?
@@Nytesplat because its kinda annoying and immersion breaking that something in real life is affecting my in game experience that much. like you dont understand how weird it is for me that everything is voiced but just 2 characters are not, i use EN so i dont have to read, now if i have to read might as well read the whole way.
i'm sure enough the last foe that capitano mentioned isn't mavuika.. it's something else far more powerful it seems
It is not disaster. It is war! No mattter how strong you are, you cannot save all lifes. The chapter really shows the cruelty of war, which is, I think, one of the most impressive stories in the game. Pray for eternal peace of the world.
Idek the rescue missions depend on how fast our response is. 4:56:00 eg here...Achiyaku is already d**d in my case.
Wait so Capitano is an outlander taken in to Teyvat by Ronova??? Isnt it the same process how the Unknown God took us to Teyvat???
what? no, he said he was an khaenriah survivor
@@nonexpatheare he is an outlander. Orphan, taken by sages under the crimson moon dynasty era.
@@misudenshi264What??? Literally where are you getting that information bro
He makes it very clear that he was apart of the Black Sun era of Khaenri’ah, NOT the Crimson Moon era, after the change of dynasties there were no Crimson Moon members in Khaenri’ah, all the ones that were left fled to other nations like Arlecchino’s ancestors.
@@ATMEIDAREYAIDOUBLEDAREYA you'll see, for now it is hard to understand, just ignore what i commented.
@@misudenshi264okay…
Why does Citlali's voice with "S" vowel so...high? Like a snake?
It doesnt happen with other character tho?
I can't focus lol
the va's mic probably didn't have the de-esser turned on or the de-esser was too low, so it made the S louder than needed to be. it's really weird that her va has de-esser issues with citlali but there's none in hsr as march
@@rinnies7474it gets even weirder, because apparently mobile didn't have this issue.
I myself played on an IPad and the sound was completely fine, but here and for some other streamers the Ssses were terrible.
I've seen others say that on mobile they had no problems as well
@@_dragonflies_ I don't have any «S» issues on my PS4 too or it was just so irrelevant that i didn't even notice. Maybe it's just PC thing?
I’m scared, what the hell are we doing in act 5 and 6 if this was 3 and 4 like I-I’m sorry WHAT!
5:43:20 this is like the hardest we've ever had to fight during archon quest except when we fought against Ei for the first time 😂😂
So I have noticed something weird. When I play Genshin, the characters never peak with the pop filter when pronouncing “s” words. However, every time I watch a streamer, they do. What’s that about?
I heard it depends on what device you use too. Mobile players said they had no issues while a lot of PC players (especially headphone users) did. No idea about console players.
@@whisperingshadowXI No problem on PS4 too, don't know about PS5 tho.
PS5 had the problem. It felt like Citlali’s volume was the highest, including Xilonen’s.
What happened to Kachina’s voice??
The VA Strike is still on going. Blame the company the VAs working for, for not agreeing to the terms yet
The voice record studio have a problem thats why Eng sound is not available for now
@@YuuSouji what problem?
@@Luna-ur4zv VA are doing strike becoz of AI. How their voice could be used etc. Chinese and jp Voiceactors are very respected. Hence there is no issue with jp and cn. But for english, the company (US based) didnt care. All VAs asked was a bond of paper as surety. The hoyo could come in middle and settle but they also ignored.

i still cant understand how people can say that aether/lumine is too young(like xilonen etc) aren't they +500 and also isn't all natlan archon quest about abyss it would be disappointing if siblings didn't get to meet again in 5.3
Both are at least millions of years old, probably more since they have witnessed the birth and death of stars
The people of Teyvat simply assume their age by appearance, and the traveler never made a point of correcting it, so he lets others believe that they are young even for humans.
@@nonexpatheareThe traveler has told their name to no one (not even paimon it seems) so I assume they just like to keep personal details hidden.
@RangeCMYK paimon probably knows since when we reunited with the abyss sibling for the first time, they refer to the traveller by their real name. she doesn't question it so either hyv forgot or maybe she's one of the only people who do know their true name

the EN VAs are now having a strike due to the AI Voice issue in USA and they hope this issue can be fix
