I actually enjoyed this quest a lot, despite how freaking long this was lol, I feel like I paused a few times to go all detective mode lol to understand this process, bro this was so much fun honestly
It was so much fun to do even tho it took me like a week, but whenever I do the arc’s I always focus on every single detail- Atleast I’m happy to know that there’s ppl like me who turn into detective whenever they do arc’s💀💀
Things like Collei's past, the withering, the 3 gods of sumeru, akademiya. They're all very easy to digest because of how well theyre paced in the story. Unlike Inazuma where they just lore dump it at the end of the quest. This is imo the best archon quest so far and its not even done yet.
Honestly, I find that Lesser Lord Kusanali is so far the most likeable archon. She actually cares about each of her subjects, even if they don't want her. And she doesn't dump her problems on us, she actually helps us and works with us.
actually vent dont dump the problem on us, venti try to save davalin before we came to monstad. we just asked by the knight of favonius. and for zhongli we are join his part of chess that he set form the start. the real work we do is in inazuma that we forced to deal with ei.
Venti doesn’t dump anything on us. He was trying to solve the problem before we showed up. And he believes in the Idea pf true “freedom”. And Freedom includes letting those who are truly free solve their own problems by themselves. Just like the lore of Mondstadt he made the people choose to be free from their oppression. As for Zhongli he put all the ordeals in place to quite literally test his people and make sure they could take care of themselves without him watching over them so that when he gave up his Gnosis he knew they would be fine without his power. Raiden is the only Archon that is genuinely unlikable.
I know this might sound like a stretch but when I played through this, my mind kinda associated Eleazar with cancer. And because of that I went down a spiral of thinking about my grandma while playing through this. It hits hard when I saw Dunyarzad's spirit able to see Nilou's dance
Awee... I'm sorry to hear that.. I have been through something similar. I thought of my great grandfather during this quest it almost broke my heart into pieces. Stay safe out there, and welcome to our ninja home. We love you and appreciate you ❤️
People need to understand that as much as genshin is a waifu game, it's a lore game first. The devs are actually taking their time to write the story. If people don't like it then they should play another game.
Why are these normies even playing Genshin if they gonna skip the quests? There's literally nothing else to do but farm for the next update of quests and lore 💀
1:12 the fact that both you and rednas have the same questions about where paimon sleeps, just serves to show that this is in fact, an important question
both jeikage and rednas are my fav genshin youtubers its so good to see youtubers who have been here since the game released still loving and uploading about the game
@@timonperrotte6286 little timmy was NEVER hated people just like to bully him by chasing away or killing his pigeons pallad on the other hand has a whole subreddit dedicated to hating him
Jei calling Kusanali just Kusa was both kinda funny and cute to me Because Kusa is what we call a zucchini in Arabic (at least in my region's dialect) And our smol weed archon is green like a zucchini
Playing Genshin from it's release has been like emotional edging- It goes for long periods of time with nothing and then just absolutely blasts us with story and feelings. NGL they've gotten me tearing up more with every major ending cutscene
Sumera did the personal relation right where Inazuma failed even with 2 patches imo. I cant feel sad for Teppei as it doesnt feel immersive in relation with the protagonist(us), while Dunyarzad we travel alongside with her knowing about her fight with her own mortality.
Still not that great of a connection. Sure we travel with dunyarzad but what the writers did was make us feel bad for her, she didn't do anything that impactful to make her death sadder. Don't get me wrong, i was very moved by her "death" it's just that, if she would've died she'd be forgotten very fast just like teppei.
@@imnotreanalbertospynotatal6968 "Don't get me wrong, i was very moved by her "death" it's just that, ..." i think this is the part where they succeeded while the Teppei's failed. Inazuma had him trying to compete with us, non-mortal(in-game) while trying to relate Teppei to us as audience. Dunyarzad didnt try to do that and instead focus only on her own mortality story.
Same, I haven’t actually reached Sumeru in the story, but Teppei was not a character I felt connected to, we barely spent any time with him. Same with Kokomi & Gorou. That and a lot of later half Inazuma characters never appear in the main story. Itto, Kuki, Heizou…It’s so strange.
@@komasdfg fair, it's very true that dunyarzad was a good character compared to teppei, but.. idk her existence seems a bit shallow. What I mean is, from the beggining I knew she was gonna "die" because she's so "in-your-face" when talking about how she REALLY wants to see nilou's dance and that she might not make it. And what's really sad is that i don't think she's gonna have further development and become a relevant character because her role is already filled and her dream is already fulfilled. That's why her character (at least to me) feels very empty. Hopefully she or her family will be relevant in future archon quests tho.
@@riotkitty kuki, itto and heizo have no real relevance and role in the Inazuma archon quests because the main entities are the resistance and the shogunate, the tri-commisions being side entities and the guys from ritou (i forgot the name of the group) were completely forgotten. Inazuma should've hade more archon quests to fully develop the resistance and to make the shogun's loss less shallow (and actually make yae Miko a REAL character and not a plot device to push the plot). Like shogun was my favorite archon until 2.1, she was cold, heartless and very selfish but after the 3rd act she became soft, waifu and more selfish, her development was WACK
Thank you for uploading, I've been terribly sick for the last few days and It feels like I'm acually dying, but when I watched this I felt like I was healthy again.

The line “the spaces are bing absorbed by a sun in the sky” and Nahida’s comments about how she’s the moon and the sun is long gone makes me think the Academiya is trying to siphon peoples dreams to use that power to resurrect the Greater Lord. That’s my current theory. I think something will go wrong, the Academiya will lose control or something and the Greater Lord comes back as a rampaging zombie. I’m guessing that one of the weekly bosses of the Sumeru chapter will be a zombie Greater Lord with a fraction of their former power and none of the “wisdom”.
Seriously how are you coming up with all these words and names Jei. Hahaha you're a genius ninja worthy of being a horkage. "Mi Morena" gonna call dehya like that when she arrives
bro this quest hands down was the saddest to me and made me tear up. After you said..dont worry imma be here when your banner drops XD i felt that lmaoo..samer jei...same lmao...and i have guaranteed just for her.
3:58 he got it right in the first try 21:35 dookie means 💩 28:44 paimon cries 56:16 we haven’t seen any fatui here but i do believe that they are the instigators here. I wonder where the dendro archon’s gnosis is. What would happen if we destroyed a gnosis? Game over for fatui.
if we look at the context of the akasha being powered by the gnosis we can infer that the "sages" took kusanali's gnosis from her when she was just a baby and locked her away using it fro the akasha.
people have long been giving evidence of katherine being a type of robot. the first hint was her idle voice lines "error" "rebooting" next was the fact that there is katheryne in each nation all existing at the same time. normally this could be passed off as a generic character model however the traveler themselves draws attention to this in liyue and inuzuma. then there is the keyhole on the back of her neck. this all points to katheryne not being human. people were very convinced that katheryne was some sort of android robot. it just had never been outright confirmed until now.
Ya know I just realized…Kusanali delayed the inevitable, but Nilou woke Dunyarzad up from her subconscious almost coma with the power of dance, and that’s so wholesome. 🥲 Ya know, like how some people come back from the brink of death if their family or friends talk to them.

"So when do I get to see the Nilou Dancing?"
Jeikage has his Priorities straight I see. Never change Kage. Never change.
I love that Kage calls Kusanali Kusa for short since kusa means grass in Japanese so he's literally calling her grass lol
So when will she come out so we can Touch Grass?
Now add Gaki, and we get a proper community interpretation of the Sumeru Archon

Kusa also means grass in my dialect!! So it makes perfect sense to me why she's the dendro archon

I think Eleazar is based on amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), the same desease that Stephen Hawking had, it has some strongly similar symptoms
It’s Oripathy
Everyone's complaining about the quest being long and boring without battles, meanwhile Kage just goes through it and is genuinely enjoying it

omg real
the way she yawns and giggle she looks like an actual child sometimes i forgot kusanali is just as old as yae
She is a kid in god years. The devs told us that.
Edit: so comparing her to Yae is useless and pointless. They are from different mythologies.
Well if we assume that she has been locked away isolated for this whole time since they found her that might explain why she is still like a child..
Yee EN dub made her more childish than she actually is

I basically let out a tear for Dunyarzad, Hoyo really knows how to make a story 😌
I was stressed the whole quest seeing her in bed. When she finally disappeared, I fully bought it and was upset as hell
Mihoyo has been a hit or miss but I guess Sumeru is a hit when it comes to storytelling.
@@beestek.94 yup agree, sometimes they give us a great archon quest like Liyue or garbage archon quest like inazuma...
Same here i cry so much wen she died and the end i was so happy wen i saw her alive still cry lol wen i see vudeo of it
Jei - "You're starting to scare the crap out of me god."
Nahida - "flush your anxiety dookie away!"
Jei calling Kusanali just Kusa was both kinda funny and cute to me
Because Kusa is what we call a zucchini in Arabic (at least in my region's dialect)
And our smol weed archon is green like a zucchini
thank you, you just made it so much more wholesome to me 🥺
Kusa is grass in Japanese
The thing about the "unqualified due to lack of knowledge credentials" pisses me the most here.
Alternate title: Kage becomes a follower of Kusanali
That grand sage used an argument from authority. That's very anti intellectual
The sages are hypocrisy personified
My day is always made better when Kage uploads
Let's hope Kage is doing well too *;)*
This is my favorite quest until now. It was so interesting I did in a single sitting which I never did before.
Really love these "surprise" Jeikage uploads. Thinking I dont have anything to watch, but the upload is just on time.
I need more Dehya and Jeikage in my life. Not sure what I need more....

I have heard about Katheryn being a puppet. Thought it was a joke. This archon quest surprised me with that info.
yeah she says Rebooting and Error if you stand around long enough to hear it so some of us have been HMM about it for quite a while xD
I love how casually they drop that
I thought we knew her as a puppet since the beginning
people have long been giving evidence of katherine being a type of robot. the first hint was her idle voice lines "error" "rebooting" next was the fact that there is katheryne in each nation all existing at the same time. normally this could be passed off as a generic character model however the traveler themselves draws attention to this in liyue and inuzuma. then there is the keyhole on the back of her neck. this all points to katheryne not being human. people were very convinced that katheryne was some sort of android robot. it just had never been outright confirmed until now.
May Lesser Lord Kusanali find happiness. Best archon so far. Though Morax still has my respect thanks to his dedication.

"As the first akasha terminal???" 🤔
