Please note that no video summary will be a perfect substitute for playing the story for yourself. I made this video for people who really don't have time to dive into the story of Part 1 or just want a quicky refresh of the story, but for any newcomer reading this, I highly recommend playing the story for yourself if you can.
@HomuLabs what I remembered is that SA is not really dead but only a part of her roots were destroyed that currently resides within the solar system, but SA will no longer bother them after revealing its presence to the one enemy it was afraid of.
I swear I tried... I got to the serpent part, but it was the energy system that drained me T_T Also, imo, best Hoyo plot, worst game design (the most "mobile" probably, which isn't for me), so thank you for all your summaries! ^^ (I watched all your compilation, alternating with the animated shorts, so it was like watching a season of a show XD)
Glad my content was helpful! If you want, you can jump into Part 2 right after this. Part 2 uses the Open World system like HSR and doesn't consume stamina. Also, it feel a lot more in line with the newer HoYo games.
With the amount of hsr people wanting to check out the Hi3rd story without playing the game. This is perfect for them. And personally I think this is a good summary. Good stuff.
Hello, i just installed hi3 again. I'm at chapter 12 of part 1 the last time i played. Now i cannot access the part 1 story in the story tab, it only shows the beginning of part 2. All the chapters in part 1 story are gone for me. How do i get part 1 story back? Do i need to complete part 2 chapters first for them to appear again?
@@khakikohii did you click on the part one tab to have it drop down? “The Moon’s Finality and Origin” click it and it will show the part 1 chapters below it.
@@khakikohii That would be really bad game design if you couldn't access part 1 until you finish part 2 lmao. But here how to access it, step by step. In Lobby/Menu, click on Attack, go to Start tap which is on the top, click on story and you can access the chapter/arc you wanted to play on the left side of the screen.
I CANNOT be the only one here after that crazy Amphoreus trailer in HSR and seeing literally everyone and their moms going "omg kevin omg elysia omg flamechasers" all around me RIGHT!!??? 😭
tbh i wanted to play the game when alhaitham came out and everyone was like su su su, i even played a bit, but its sooooo looong and my phone doesnt have enough space never found a good summary anywhere till now
14:54 - 16:30 these parts are intrinsically connected and I think it was a mistake to completely leave Elysian Realm out of this video. A short overview would suffice. Context: Elysian Realm is a supercomputational system deep inside World Serpent base built in the previous Era 50000 years ago. It runs a simulation of 13 flamechasers (their personality imprints) - warriors of the previous Era, who fought the Honkai. Kevin, Fu Hua and Griseo are the only surviving members. The idea behind Elysian Realm is to transfer authority of Origin to a person that is worthy. Before that came to pass, it was used as a training and trial ground for World Serpent agents like Raven. Mei, - now a World Serpent agent, - comes to the Elysian Realm at the suggestion of Kevin who, despite wanting to see project Stigma through, still wants to give project EMBER, - the one Fu Hua was in charge of, - a chance at fruition. It didn't require the sacrifice of humanity as we know it. Mei, driven by pursuit of knowledge of the previous Era and the First Herrscher, gets to know 13 Flamechasers on a personal level. At the end of the story ark it is revealed that Elysia, the 2nd Flamechaser, was in fact the First Herrscher. But unlike all other Herrschers, she was independent from destructive influence of the Honkai. She was an abberation, an extremely unlikely anomaly. She loved humanity unconditionaly and fought for it's survival. Previous Era lost the war against the Honkai, humanity was for all intents and purposes extinct. Before the surviving Flamechasers could give battle to the last Herrscher - the Herrscher of Finality, they've put multiple safeguards to ensure humanity's survival in the next samsara: namely projects STIGMA, EMBER, ARK (spaceship venturing to the stars, on which young Griseo embarked). Elysia did place a safeguard too, but in her own way. She returned to the Honkai/Caccoon, spreading her essense over it. Combined with the hacking of Caccoon of Finality's authority over Honkai energy by replacing it with what would later be known as Will of Honkai (Sentient AI created at that time, Prometheus), while also transferring said authority to Kevin, *this ensured that in the next era newly created Herrschers would be more like Elysia and can act independently of Caccoon's will*. Learning the truth, Mei, who earlier decided that she cares not of the world if there's no Kiana in it, now knowing of the defiant last stand of humanity and the 13 Flamechasers, how despite their differences and personality clashes they worked together to save the world they held dear, goes through a character evolution/growth, remembering that she, Bronya and Kiana are all fighting for all that is beautiful in this world. Elysia's sim metaphorically passes the torch by simple act of letting Mei better know her and her comrades' wishes, hopes, aspirations and love for the world. This is how unbeknownst to herself, Mei already acquired the authority of Origin. She only had to awaken it. As for the Elysian Realm, unfortunately, when Mei entered it, she unknowingly brought with her the Herrscher of Corruption, that she contracted during her missions/travels. The corruption spread, untill all the Flamechasers' sims were erased and incorporated into the Herrscher. Elysia's sim, who had the highest permissions in the system, was reawakened and reconstructed from Mei's memories. The only way to defeat the Herrscher of Corruption was to dismantle the whole system from the inside. Mei and Elysia bid their final farewells and Elysia gave final battle to the Herrscher, freeing her lost comrades from it's grasp to aid her. Flamechasers' sims, just like their originals, chose to sacrifice themselves once again for the future of humanity, erasing the Elysian Realm and killing the Herrscher of Corruption.
here's a summary of your context: - The Elysian Realm is a supercomputational simulation system built by the World Serpent 50,000 years ago. - It simulates the personalities of 13 Flamechasers, past warriors who fought the Honkai, with surviving members Kevin, Fu Hua, and Griseo. - The purpose of the Elysian Realm is to pass on the authority of Origin to a worthy successor. - Initially, the Elysian Realm served as a training ground for World Serpent agents like Raven. - Mei, a new World Serpent agent, enters the Elysian Realm, encouraged by Kevin to explore an alternative path (Project EMBER). - Driven by curiosity about the past Era and the First Herrscher, Mei interacts closely with the 13 Flamechasers. - In a major revelation, Elysia, the 2nd Flamechaser, is revealed as the First Herrscher, an anomaly who fought for humanity's survival. - The previous Era lost to the Honkai, but left safeguards (Projects STIGMA, EMBER, ARK, and Elysia’s essence). - Elysia’s essence aimed to shape future Herrschers as independent from Honkai influence, like herself, with Kevin inheriting authority over Honkai energy. - Learning the Flamechasers' sacrifice, Mei undergoes character growth, inspired by their hope and unity to continue fighting for a beautiful world. - Mei unknowingly brings the Herrscher of Corruption into the Elysian Realm, leading to the corruption and erasure of Flamechasers’ simulations. - Elysia’s simulation is reawakened, and with Mei, they decide to dismantle the system from within to defeat the Herrscher of Corruption. - Elysia and the Flamechasers' simulations sacrifice themselves to erase the Elysian Realm and destroy the Herrscher of Corruption, securing humanity's future.
One of the most touching moments in the story that I still vividly remembers is when Kiana was still fighting over control with Sirin and she was in the lowest moment of her life that she tried to kill herserlf but Fu Hua stopped her before she could do it. I still cry when I remember it, like the whole story would have ended right there.
08:38 Important context is missing. World Serpent tried to do it to awaken dormant stigmatas in people. Or something along the lines. Most would perish, of course.
pretty accurate recap for the entire game. If I may add 1 plot point, Siegfried (Kiana and Durandal father) was not dead but was imprisoned by Kevin in some stigma dimension. Kiana and Durandal rescue him before Kiana and her friend fight Kevin one last time
I love that this video kept me up to speed on part 1 with most details, hard to remember once you finish the game a long time ago. Can't wait for part 2 because im still lost
It's a great video also for ppl who already played the story, like a recap of the events to remind things we saw a while ago. "cheerful and bubbly girl" 17:23 it's always funny when you know how things turn out 😄 (and how they have being in part 2)
I stopped playing around 1.5 (probabl when Sirin battlesuit came out) because i just didn't have the time and was getting a burnout from playing HI3. that and because i just felt satisfied with Part 1's conclusion. I love seele she's one of my favourite characters but the burnout was just so real 😭 I reinstalled recently just because I actually finally felt like playing again, i'm just about to start doing 1.5 and try to finish it so I always love recap videos like this. There's a lot of jargon and terminology in hyv games, especially HI3, and whenever I need a refresher you always come in clutch. The events dumb things down for me and help a lot. Thanks man! You're probably one of the HI3 lore youtubers that I rely on, if not the only one.

I really appreciate this summary! I tried to play through the game to experience the story for myself, but I lack the gamer chops to make it through the missions. Having some understanding of how it all fits together really helps!
ive tried to piece together an overarching idea about the hi3 story for over a year now (as a late comer)...this video has helped me understand a lot. thanks!
Amazing video. I really can't imagine the so hard time you had making this so hard summary work. Really admirable! Thank you for your extra-ordinary work and thank you for your channel! And thank you for your love to this game's story!
THANK YOU!!! i completed the entire of part 1 and 1.5 (seele arc) and i really needed a recap of everything, and you didnt seem to have chapter 39's recap
18:30 its also worth noting that as the herrscher of rebirth (also reffered to as herrscher of death and herrscher of life), blue seele made a new body for red seele so that they can coexist together (and they dont have to share one body anymore)
During imo the peak of HI3rd (ER arc) I used to watch so much of your content. Even now after quitting the game when Part 2 started (due to busy life), I find comfort in finding that there are still people caring about the original Part 1 story which was honestly just so good and complete. Not sure if I was 100% satisfied with ending of Part 1, but the entire package in itself was very enjoyable (and very emotional). I have many great memories from playing this game (both from a lore perspective and from the META combat malding perspective).
Amazingly done as always. Our revered honkai translator. Although, I think Promythius should have been mentioned somehow as well as explaining why she's called The will of honkai.
You know, I was about to play this game once I set up my PC (yes I just got a PC on my birthday) so maybe I should play the game myself before I come back here lol
Yeah recaps are nice but experiencing the story yourself is the best way and if you dont understand some complicated stuff theres plenty of videos explaining stuff
thank you for the summary, im currently speedrunning the story to catch up and get sparkle when she comes out, watching some cutscenes but mostly skipping the earlier stuff.
The amount of skills to tell the story without mentioning the quantum science mumbo-jumbo but still makes complete sense and represent the whole story is very impressive. I can relive these beautiful stories in 20 minutes. Nice job bro
This is just great - so nostalgic seeing the whole story presented with the scenes you chose, remembering where I was when I was playing each arc. I had sadly quit before v2, feeling like the game I knew was gone, but just returned to the game a couple weeks ago. It felt like I was gone for several years but it was only about 9 months in reality. It isn't the same game anymore but it really made me happy to go back to it since it was a daily part of my life for song long. It's definitely my favorite gacha story (even though others are up there like PGR0, and I wish more games would take a character based approach like this. The character tourism most gauchos take, introducing someone and then forgetting them to sell the next character, makes stories so much weaker than following a core set of characters through a story like Hi3 (and that was my issue with v2, but at least it is starting to become apparent to me that v2 is connected to v1).
I think you have a very wrong impression of Part 2. It definitely follows in the footsteps of Part 1 and has a strong core of characters. It's such a great story with a lot of potential. I'm always sad to see people judging it so fast and brushing it off without giving it the proper chance to develop like Part 1.
@@HomuLabs well yes I am seeing that now, as I said. However the initial impression before it released was that the previous characters were essentially being replaced by ones that actually seemed like replacements down to the actual personalities while at the same time power creeping v1 units. The UI gradually being stripped away and other things made it feel like they were fishing for new players who wouldn't even bother with part 1 so they were trying to start fresh with part 2, thinking veteran players would stay and they would get new ones, proverbially having their cake and eating it too. I was clearly not the only one who felt this way either given how much of my friend list is filled with people who are long gone. Since it was obviously not an isolated issue I think they could have maybe set it up a little better to make it clear that there was actually a connection (and not just to 1.5, since that had its own issues). Now that I am playing it though, I am enjoying v2 and I do see the connection; the reason I came back was since I heard that this was being tied to Kiana. That is all I wanted from the start, but going through 1.5 it gradually felt like veteran players and the game we loved were not a priority anymore - whether that was true or not, I certainly wasn't the only one who got that impression.
You forgot to add kiana finally knew the existance of captains that guide her behind the scene. And helping her on destroying kevin shield by shooting from hyperion on multiverses
As an HSR player who doesn't play HI3, I appreciate the summary! Although I do not feel the emotions due to the lack of immersion (cuz I think it's better for me to play the game itself / watch animated shorts).
As someone who started playing HI3 for the story, because of being a fan of HSR, I can say that this video is VERY helpful and I wish I could see it earlier before I started. If for someone this video will seem a bit confusing, it's okay, because the game will be even more confusing since it doesn't give you all needed information right away. Also, starting playthrough without reading some honkai mangas is also an insanity. But even if you catch up with the story and just want to play further, the amount of boring slasher gameplay and kind of filler dialogues is huge. I'm currently at chapter 27 and barely can force myself to play, while this video tells all the story up until this moment without losing any important moments in just 14 minutes, which is great.
So basically the Honkai universe/imaginary tree in essence is one COLOSSAL, quantum computer? Crazy good story telling and I’m mind blown how far hoyo went to bring it all to life.
Thank you this was so helpful. I've missed this game and story so much and after moving in with my gf and having a baby I barely have time to auto battle star rail.
17:03 the train… everything is connected, even Genshin. Grrr up I love hoyiverse’s story telling I love making up THEORIES!! Can’t wait till it’s all revealed, wrapped up and done in like, 7 more years lmfao.
Otto and Kiana is literally the opposite of the other and is the embodiment of the phrase "A Hero will sacrifice himself for the world, a Villain will Sacrifice the world for himself" Kiana got burned repeatedly to save the world Otto sacrificed everything for a single selfish goal, saving the girl he admired and loved
good video like always, but there's an error when talking about Finale part 1: Kiana didn't absorbed all herrscher's powers, she was choosed as the HoFinality while Kevin, still absorbing CoF power, counted like a competitor to Kiana for that role. In the second part of the arc, the one stage based, Welt, Tesla and Mei had a discussion about Finality and it was said "even if there is someone who has really integrated all the herrscher power...that's still a different thing from her being the herrscher of finality" long story short, finality has a sort of omni-authority bc its the only true herrscher while the others are just a shadow of finality
Crazy how even after 2 rewatches and even having chat summarize it for me I STILL have trouble wrapping my head around all the little details, bloodlines, and characters for this plot. I STG all of mihoyo’s writing, animation, and creative budget goes into this game while Genshin and HSR are just afterthoughts that “happened” to blow up just so these amazing devs could dump more money into this narrative.
As an genshin and hsr player, i was watching this like: ohhhhh this... Wait this?!?aaaaa too many references aaaaaa !!! So that's how it was?! I see i see.... NO WAY??!? Wowww...( This kept on going for all the 20mins) and now i have new theorys for genshin... (I always wanted to play hi3rd but couldn't and now i am afraid of playing it after 8 years...welp)
I feel like I understand it better to your other video talking about "What is Finality? " but regardless, this very helpful. Will you make another video talking about Finality and connect it to HSR, or maybe I missing your video already talking about it?

here's a summary of your context:
- The Elysian Realm is a supercomputational simulation system built by the World Serpent 50,000 years ago.
- It simulates the personalities of 13 Flamechasers, past warriors who fought the Honkai, with surviving members Kevin, Fu Hua, and Griseo.
- The purpose of the Elysian Realm is to pass on the authority of Origin to a worthy successor.
- Initially, the Elysian Realm served as a training ground for World Serpent agents like Raven.
- Mei, a new World Serpent agent, enters the Elysian Realm, encouraged by Kevin to explore an alternative path (Project EMBER).
- Driven by curiosity about the past Era and the First Herrscher, Mei interacts closely with the 13 Flamechasers.
- In a major revelation, Elysia, the 2nd Flamechaser, is revealed as the First Herrscher, an anomaly who fought for humanity's survival.
- The previous Era lost to the Honkai, but left safeguards (Projects STIGMA, EMBER, ARK, and Elysia’s essence).
- Elysia’s essence aimed to shape future Herrschers as independent from Honkai influence, like herself, with Kevin inheriting authority over Honkai energy.
- Learning the Flamechasers' sacrifice, Mei undergoes character growth, inspired by their hope and unity to continue fighting for a beautiful world.
- Mei unknowingly brings the Herrscher of Corruption into the Elysian Realm, leading to the corruption and erasure of Flamechasers’ simulations.
- Elysia’s simulation is reawakened, and with Mei, they decide to dismantle the system from within to defeat the Herrscher of Corruption.
- Elysia and the Flamechasers' simulations sacrifice themselves to erase the Elysian Realm and destroy the Herrscher of Corruption, securing humanity's future.
W man's. Great summary.
Damn, that's heartbreaking

I watched Homu's Elysian Realm recap and almost teared up, I can't imagine how'd I feel if I actually played through those chapters.
Im a simple person. I see Homu upload, I click.
Or in a nutshell: Cosmic horrors and forces invade Earth and humanity attempts and succeeds in fighting back to an extent.
That is like, the best, no-spoilers, synopsis of HI3 I've ever read. Short and mysterious enough that people would like details

Amazing video. I really can't imagine the so hard time you had making this so hard summary work. Really admirable! Thank you for your extra-ordinary work and thank you for your channel! And thank you for your love to this game's story!
THABK U SO MUCH HOMU LABS 😭😭😭 ALWAYS COMING IN CLUTCH
super informative, even with the 1.5 stories. sets up the rest of the story perfectly. another great video, thank you!
Seriously the best recaps! THANK YOU! I tried playing the story since last year and ngl I got lost along the way so this was super helpful 🙏
Aiyoo, here we go AGAIN. Not all HERO wearing a CAPE. #HomuLabs
PLEASE I NEEDED THIS SO BAD 😭
THANK YOU!!! i completed the entire of part 1 and 1.5 (seele arc) and i really needed a recap of everything, and you didnt seem to have chapter 39's recap
18:30 its also worth noting that as the herrscher of rebirth (also reffered to as herrscher of death and herrscher of life), blue seele made a new body for red seele so that they can coexist together (and they dont have to share one body anymore)
During imo the peak of HI3rd (ER arc) I used to watch so much of your content. Even now after quitting the game when Part 2 started (due to busy life), I find comfort in finding that there are still people caring about the original Part 1 story which was honestly just so good and complete. Not sure if I was 100% satisfied with ending of Part 1, but the entire package in itself was very enjoyable (and very emotional). I have many great memories from playing this game (both from a lore perspective and from the META combat malding perspective).
Amazingly done as always. Our revered honkai translator. Although, I think Promythius should have been mentioned somehow as well as explaining why she's called The will of honkai.
Really needed this several months ago but better late than never. Now I have a basic understanding of what happened in Honkai proper.
You know, I was about to play this game once I set up my PC (yes I just got a PC on my birthday) so maybe I should play the game myself before I come back here lol
Yeah recaps are nice but experiencing the story yourself is the best way and if you dont understand some complicated stuff theres plenty of videos explaining stuff
"A heart-wrenching conversation" well that's one way to put it 😅
I stoped at chapter 13 when I tried to play the game, not enough time, so, this summary is more than welcome ! Thank you very much for your work !
Thank you for the recap bro i love your video.
I was searching for the story last time 😆 let's go thank you !
Hope you feel better soon! Thanks for the video.
Thank you!! As usual a great video and a wonderful recap!
Perfect summary of the story, good job Homu
thank you for the summary, im currently speedrunning the story to catch up and get sparkle when she comes out, watching some cutscenes but mostly skipping the earlier stuff.
The amount of skills to tell the story without mentioning the quantum science mumbo-jumbo but still makes complete sense and represent the whole story is very impressive. I can relive these beautiful stories in 20 minutes. Nice job bro
Your videos always help me connect parts I did not get or I forgot. Nice work. Will you make recaps of HI3 part 2 as well as chapter go?
This is the video I really need for a very long time
Great video thanks for the refresher. Can you do a video on APHO as well?
Great recap!
This is just great - so nostalgic seeing the whole story presented with the scenes you chose, remembering where I was when I was playing each arc. I had sadly quit before v2, feeling like the game I knew was gone, but just returned to the game a couple weeks ago. It felt like I was gone for several years but it was only about 9 months in reality. It isn't the same game anymore but it really made me happy to go back to it since it was a daily part of my life for song long. It's definitely my favorite gacha story (even though others are up there like PGR0, and I wish more games would take a character based approach like this. The character tourism most gauchos take, introducing someone and then forgetting them to sell the next character, makes stories so much weaker than following a core set of characters through a story like Hi3 (and that was my issue with v2, but at least it is starting to become apparent to me that v2 is connected to v1).
I think you have a very wrong impression of Part 2. It definitely follows in the footsteps of Part 1 and has a strong core of characters. It's such a great story with a lot of potential. I'm always sad to see people judging it so fast and brushing it off without giving it the proper chance to develop like Part 1.
@@HomuLabs well yes I am seeing that now, as I said. However the initial impression before it released was that the previous characters were essentially being replaced by ones that actually seemed like replacements down to the actual personalities while at the same time power creeping v1 units. The UI gradually being stripped away and other things made it feel like they were fishing for new players who wouldn't even bother with part 1 so they were trying to start fresh with part 2, thinking veteran players would stay and they would get new ones, proverbially having their cake and eating it too.
I was clearly not the only one who felt this way either given how much of my friend list is filled with people who are long gone. Since it was obviously not an isolated issue I think they could have maybe set it up a little better to make it clear that there was actually a connection (and not just to 1.5, since that had its own issues). Now that I am playing it though, I am enjoying v2 and I do see the connection; the reason I came back was since I heard that this was being tied to Kiana. That is all I wanted from the start, but going through 1.5 it gradually felt like veteran players and the game we loved were not a priority anymore - whether that was true or not, I certainly wasn't the only one who got that impression.
You forgot to add kiana finally knew the existance of captains that guide her behind the scene. And helping her on destroying kevin shield by shooting from hyperion on multiverses
Thanks for this recap 👍
Finally a video that summarize the story of the game
As an HSR player who doesn't play HI3, I appreciate the summary! Although I do not feel the emotions due to the lack of immersion (cuz I think it's better for me to play the game itself / watch animated shorts).
Wait I just clicked because I saw it was homu. I can’t believe you summarized the entire story’ this is incredible!
As someone who started playing HI3 for the story, because of being a fan of HSR, I can say that this video is VERY helpful and I wish I could see it earlier before I started. If for someone this video will seem a bit confusing, it's okay, because the game will be even more confusing since it doesn't give you all needed information right away. Also, starting playthrough without reading some honkai mangas is also an insanity. But even if you catch up with the story and just want to play further, the amount of boring slasher gameplay and kind of filler dialogues is huge. I'm currently at chapter 27 and barely can force myself to play, while this video tells all the story up until this moment without losing any important moments in just 14 minutes, which is great.
we needed this thank you 💕💕
So basically the Honkai universe/imaginary tree in essence is one COLOSSAL, quantum computer? Crazy good story telling and I’m mind blown how far hoyo went to bring it all to life.
Thanks for this. I've always wanted to know.
Watching this video while waiting the download data completed makes me hype to play this game
Thank you this was so helpful. I've missed this game and story so much and after moving in with my gf and having a baby I barely have time to auto battle star rail.
So, you’ll make us videos about Part 2 of Hi3, because following everything the characters say is a nightmare.
You are a legend thank you!
Ty for this vid, now that someone will ask to know about hi3 lore without playing i can send them this !
17:03 the train… everything is connected, even Genshin. Grrr up I love hoyiverse’s story telling I love making up THEORIES!! Can’t wait till it’s all revealed, wrapped up and done in like, 7 more years lmfao.
Yay you are back!! ❤❤
finally. i have waited a digestable way to research honkai impact but now I would read the statements eventually.
wooooo my fav lore guy les goooo!!!
whats the chance that I decided today after years to look again into honkai lore and there is new short video of it all 👌
Amazing work
Not gonna lie, I held my tears during the summary of Part 1....
Otto and Kiana is literally the opposite of the other and is the embodiment of the phrase "A Hero will sacrifice himself for the world, a Villain will Sacrifice the world for himself"
Kiana got burned repeatedly to save the world
Otto sacrificed everything for a single selfish goal, saving the girl he admired and loved
Yay I was wondering when you’ll post again
good video like always, but there's an error when talking about Finale part 1:
Kiana didn't absorbed all herrscher's powers, she was choosed as the HoFinality while Kevin, still absorbing CoF power, counted like a competitor to Kiana for that role.
In the second part of the arc, the one stage based, Welt, Tesla and Mei had a discussion about Finality and it was said "even if there is someone who has really integrated all the herrscher power...that's still a different thing from her being the herrscher of finality"
long story short, finality has a sort of omni-authority bc its the only true herrscher while the others are just a shadow of finality
They say it couldn't be done. The mad lad did it!
I can't express how happy I am to see this video lol
Banger video. I find Part 2 way more confusing than Part 1.
Another banger from homu king!
Auuugh HI3 lore is so beautiful.... I've finally understood it for so many years...
Crazy how even after 2 rewatches and even having chat summarize it for me I STILL have trouble wrapping my head around all the little details, bloodlines, and characters for this plot. I STG all of mihoyo’s writing, animation, and creative budget goes into this game while Genshin and HSR are just afterthoughts that “happened” to blow up just so these amazing devs could dump more money into this narrative.
Homu King has appeared on the battlefield
As an genshin and hsr player, i was watching this like: ohhhhh this... Wait this?!?aaaaa too many references aaaaaa !!! So that's how it was?! I see i see.... NO WAY??!? Wowww...( This kept on going for all the 20mins) and now i have new theorys for genshin...
(I always wanted to play hi3rd but couldn't and now i am afraid of playing it after 8 years...welp)
that one hot NPC, but at the same time thicc imaginary BOSS type character, evolve from Gray Serpent to "Gold" Serpent🥶
Wow, Homu! I think you have literally succeeded in the proverbial threading a camel through the eye of a needle!
Thanks for making summary HI3 story part 1
Very good, saved this video
He did it, HOMULABS actually did it. HE IS HIM 🔥🔥🔥🔥
9:35 Arlecchino, what are you doing here
grateful for that. 💖
Holy damn... i didn't know Kiana tried to end her own life ;-;
I feel like I understand it better to your other video talking about "What is Finality? " but regardless, this very helpful. Will you make another video talking about Finality and connect it to HSR, or maybe I missing your video already talking about it?
Thank you Herscherr of homu ❤🎉
