The writing, Neuvillette being the main character of the game, the music, the cutscenes, Neuvillette, wriothesley's personality, THE KNAVE WAS PERFECTION, Furina, the tea party drama, Neuvillette, THE LORE REVEAL, Neuvillette, THE FINALE AHHHHHHHH IT WAS ALL SO GOOD
I love act 3. It makes you so immerse to the story like the repeating samsara festival. As always love your reactions and you're excitement towards the game and it's so genuine which makes me so happy. Keep what you doing love your videos and steams. Okay, Since I'm here I was thinking about and this includes the Oratice De Analysis Cartinel. What if the archon Furina transfer power into the machine giving it life and that's why it's able to speak. I thought of this when The Knave said "there is no doubt something is wrong with her and "she's probably curse". The second theory that her power created is probably stored within Neavalette or either sealed by Clestia? I think I'm Cooking
Everyone trusting the Knave is fun to see, people forget she's described as a wolf in a sheep's clothing lol She's gonna pull the rug under us so fast for the gnosis.
I think you forgot about Neuvillette
Tch, you forgot to mention the best part: Neuvillette
experiencing this whole thing again by watching your videos is amazing. you always have something funny and/or relevant (a balance between the two) to say about the dialogues, it makes me even more engaged and enjoy it more than when i was doing it myself 😂 i regret not checking your full AQ videos sooner
I've only had the Bombshell Bros for one archon quest, but If anything happened to them, I would crash Celestia into Teyvat like the moon in Majora's Mask
Frl 😂
Frrrr i did the quest and I loved the fortress because of them
Honestly, I feel like Wriothesley and Yelan could be best friends. I feel like their personalities are very compatible, they both work in intelligence and security, and they both have an obsession with tea. 😂
Let's not forget how both have no idea of how to wear a jacket
@@cristinaalfieri3637 Right!?
@@cristinaalfieri3637 look, it's hot most of the year for almost all regions of Teyvat, they don't need to wear the jacket all day.
@@cristinaalfieri3637well at least rizzley have that strap thing so the jacket wont fall off
Traveler:I have reservations about Lyney and Lynette most of all.
Sigewinne: *shoots Lyney*
Traveler: Have you no virtues, woman!? What was that for!?
Ngl I cheered Sigewinne for that. I started out liking Lyney and Lynette but it dampened out a bit.
@GLoLChibs I like Lynette, but only because I've got a thing for kuudere types. If Lyney was chill with me sleeping with his sister, I would cooperate with him as much as he wanted.

Btw Neuvillette is the reborn form of the Dragon Sovereign of Water, it was a prophecy that the hydro dragon would be reborn into a human form.
Everyone guessed this in the first update
Wait will we Eletro Dragon rebirth as well?
@kilo1901 Notes in Enkanomiya did say the new generation of Sovereigns was being born. It did sound like the others are around, either the new generation or OGs like Apep.
@@kilo1901but kokomi is hydro tho? Jk
@@TonyaSmith-sb2pi Boy, I have a news for you. Just week ago I saw someone claim neuvi to be male melusine. And they said they read it from that steambird note he had on drip marketing. And yes, this same steambird note also confirmed he is not a melusine and that they made it the fuck up. So please, don't put too much faith in humans.
I find it kind of funny that we got visions from a vision. A vision vision.
Maybe this is an intended function of the Vision. Allowing someone to connect their soul or whatever to the owner, giving the ability to spy on them for whatever reason. Pretty sure this was a theory a few years ago.
Omg you’re right
That's exactly what it is named after. In JP it's literally translate to Eye of God. It is used to see things.
Even in my language and in the Chinese version it's translate to something akin to "Eye of the god"@@Afazha Seem it's only in English where it change
Visionception
The Bombshell Bros are probably my new top favorite npcs in the game. Also whoever voice acted Wriothesley did an amazing job, I love his character so much, he's so unapologetically british it's insane. His chemistry with Clorinde and Neuvilette is also so good
Wriothesley is voiced by Joe Zieja. He is a solid VA.
Arlecchino is brutally efficient, if furina has the gnosis she would 100% bodied her there
And cause a natural disaster as well. Gods usually don't die without leaving something behind so honestly good she didn't kill her, would've caused some destruction to the city
@@whyyoumadbro2370 Arlecchino has no reason to do that to holder of Gnosis. Gnosis can be forcefully extracted without killing an archon as we have seen in Venti case.
i was the 69th like
@@TheDarshes yeah you can tell she was doing the same motion signora was when she took venti's gnosis
I wonder how they found a method to extract gnosis without stabbing the archons tbh
Genshin has upped its plot with Fontaine so hard its insane
it started hitting different from sumeru itself.
Thanks for a false charges
@@fefedustsfr.
Indeed, they really started leveling up their story after 3.0
@@sprixelnitroxand if the leaks about 4.2 archon quest are true then its going real dark
I swear the entire conflict with Wriothesley I was screaming, "ENOUGH ABOUT YOUR STINKING TEA!!! TELL US THE TRUTH NOW!!!!" 😂😂😂
British moment
That is definitely something Lyney would say when he gets heated and overprotective over Lynette.
@@ToscaTeeu mean french
@@yntao nope, british. wriothesley is an old english name and drinking tea is the most prevalent british stereotype ever
Theory: OG Furina placed a seal on the primordial sea and uses the Oratrice to power the seal. She put her Gnosis and part of her soul inside it. The Furina on the outside is left a husk of her former self with the duty to maintain people’s belief in Justice in order to supply power to the Oratrice and the seal…
That must mean the people’s belief in justice is weakening
Because of the prophecy?
Nicely put.
Well I mean...you're like 50% correct
This one aged like a fine wine
I still can't get over the last cutscene even though I've watched it before this video. CHILDE FLOATING IN THE WATER, HIS EYES, THE FUCKING WHALE, HE LOOKED SO SMALL god I'm so fucking excited and so sad that we have to wait for the next version to come out 😭😭😭
I am in LOVE with the way Childe is the main focus of this aq even though he didn't even say a word this update. God I love him so much, can you tell?
@@anamiosonamiand I also love how his name was said by so many characters multiple times despite having no appearance 😂
@@kawansiesquad6659 (you can believe whatever you want this is just my opinion)
That doesn't really make sense though. It's the "celestial whale" and the hydro sovereign is very much a dragon (and the sovereigns don't have anything to do with celestia if I remember correctly). I really don't think there'd be any reason for the hydro dragon to take the form of a whale for some reason +There would definitely be something suggesting it in at least Neuvillette's story or the archon quest. The only character that is canonically connected to the whale (in multiple ways than one) is Childe 🤷
There's a whale boss fight in 4.2 or 4.3🗿
@@BullyMaguireTheAbsolute yeah I know (it's in 4.2)
Act 4 was so peak, I loved it. That cutscene where Wriothesley stops the sea and runs from the waves with Clorinde’s help was INSANEEE. 11/10.
Total Indiana Jones anime XD
I love during the entire confrontation with Wriothsley, his responses can be interpreted as aggressive and threatening, when in hindsight he's just trying to de-escalate but is really horrible when it comes to understanding how his words affect others.
Yeah. That's a really good take of it actually. I feel a lot for Lyney as an older sibling who fears losing their younger siblings, and Wriothesley's casual tone about their siblings' lives really set me off as well. So I get how things escalated far more than they should have on both sides.
@@notbubblystarters05 I have younger siblings too, but you need to be realistic here. You can't be spies for an enemy nation and expect nothing to happen to you. This situation would escalate a whole lot more if it was the real world. The obligation is not on Wriothesley to de-escalate. It's on the party that escalated the problem in the first place - Lynney's.
@@Zero-hs5tx Wriothesley accidentally triggered Lyney's trauma, one unrelated to the mission, though. In the real world, an older sibling would try to reason logically, but Lyney's NOT just an older sibling, I said he's one who went through tragic LOSS before and WOULD make things escalate as emotions were never one to follow rationale. I would know. Such is loss. You can't reason with desperate feelings. Specially something so deep rooted as to make up his character. They very rarely could be helped and it may not be Wriothesley's exact job description to do so, but by your logic, it's also not in Lyney's job to answer Wriothesley yet that was demanded of him. Still, Wriothesley has eyes and you don't need rocket science to see Lyney's already panicking and wouldn't be able to calm down himself to do so anyway. So as the only level headed person in that room who triggered Lyney's response (who possibly also never separated with a sibling before and therefore wouldn't be as affected (ehem- Traveler- ehem)), he did what he could. As a true caring person would. Responding to the situation before him. What do you expect him to do? Just stand there? Realistically, an emotion expressed by another would be met by a chain response, of course. So yes. It WASN'T his job, but he stepped up and MADE it his. The same way he made it his business to mess with the Fatui siblings. He could decide to take action here too and THAT was the response he chose. Though it was understandably difficult for him to de-escalate things as HE was the one using Lyney's cause of distress as bargain. Regardless of one's station, helping others is human nature. That's why I mentioned BOTH sides. Afterall, in this game, there IS no good or bad. Just those who hurt others and those who got hurt in turn. Unintentional or not. Feelings are just as real as the consequences for them. Lastly, you may think I am biased, rooting for Lyney, but to make it clear how much loss can change things when added to the older sibling equation, I've always been on the fence about the Lyney and his Fatui family. Distrusting him as the Traveler did and was more excited for Wriothesley the moment I saw him revealed in a trailer. But opinions can change when trauma is brought up so callously regardless if intent as emotions are fickle things. I get both sides had reasons, but it doesn't make the scene hurt any less. Even if the one I saw hurt was someone I distrusted and the one who did it someone I very much admired.
@@notbubblystarters05 First off, you're acting like Wriothesley is talking to his friend or an acquaintance. He's not. He's talking to an enemy spy. Why he would be sympathetic with an enemy spy and worry about their feelings? Makes zero sense.
And as I previously alluded to, you can't expect to spy on another nation and not face any consequences - this is the nature of the job. Lyney knew what the consequences were the moment he agreed to infiltrate the prison. In real life, espionage comes with very harsh sentencing - we're talking about decades in prison or even execution. Wriothesley actually let them off extremely lightly. Or would you prefer that Wriothesley be verbally nice to them but lock them in prison for decades?
Wriothesley did not mess with the Fatui siblings. They messed with him, and he responded in kind. I think you're completely overlooking the fact that they infiltrated his territory and are trying to pry national secrets from him.
@@Zero-hs5tx Family matters are completely different from business matters. They crossed that line altogether and the whole thing became a mess. If it was just for the country, then sure. But it's been made personal to Lyney then and there. Regardless of what the original plan may have been. Still I agree they knew the consequences the same way a person knows they risk life everyday just going outside. That's true. But it doesn't mean that you'll have to like it when bad stuff actually happens. Specially when it's been connected to something else that's bad that happened in the past. That's a double shot right there. And it also doesn't mean he *planned* to face those consequences. No one truly plans to fail, we make back up plans *for* a better chance of success, as people don't just run head first to make failures. So it *wasn't* truly expected at all or he would have no reason to be surprised it happened. It also doesn't mean it hurts any less and yes. It is TOTALLY possible to feel empathy even for those you call your enemy that fights for the opposite side of your ideals. We've done that for Raiden, for Wanderer, for the visionless soldier enforcing the vision hunt decree, for the Fatui in the Chasm, for Signiora's past, for Caribert and his tortured father, for the hilichurls we kill everyday, for the Abyss soldiers from Khanri'ah, for Childe and his family and so on. I don't know about you, but people have *definitely* sympathized for them. Though I understand it doesn't make them justified, but like I said, the feelings are still there. They're still very real. We empathize because we recognize the pain. It's not like he's banned from feeling emotions just because he's been made Duke. That's why he still did his duty and uphold Lyney's siblings as a trade offer regardless his attempts of appearing soothing. But to a desperate brother, that appeared threatening instead and perspective helps this. There's always more than one of them. That's why I say I may distrust Lyney, but that doesn't immediately mean I like how Wriothesley went about things. Because I understand. Now he didn't have to give in at the moment as he's just doing his job the same way Lyney was, but what about after? He had room for small tea talk, couldn't he have apologized for dangling lives so casually by a thread infront of family? He doesn't have to be sorry for doing what he thinks is right as he has nothing to be sorry for in *that* department. Never said he did. But for treating someone as blackmail against another who cared for that person and who's cared for back so evidently, surely he can see how hurtful that was? Say what you will, but prison and death sentence is not the same as giving someone hope and then keeping it from them to prolong their desperation. It's more akin to torture of the emotional kind. Even if that wasn't his intent. (Again, as I've said.) Sigewinne at least apologized for her actions when no one stepped up to prove she was innocent because she knows she isn't completely. Like everyone else in that room wasn't. But she *didn't* apologize for what she was fighting for and that's perfectly *fine.* That was more than how Wriothesley handled the aftermath, in regards to his Fatui wards. No words to spare after as they're left huddling and licking their wounds. Though you mentioned it earlier and I went along with it, in truth, realism may be known to be a part of good writing, yet, though you keep bringing it up, this is NOT the real world, this is a *video game.* Your scenarios are an "if" and hypotheticals while mine happened to me truly. It is a game, thus it would not follow the harsh punishment for espionage as you told anyways. THAT is to be expected. But the emotions it inflicts on it's audience? Is as lasting and real as it gets. Our engagement that they are responsible for and as I said, as someone who have felt the fear of losing their family once before, it made me feel uncomfortable to watch that scene. It was a surprise to even me. As stated, *no one* expects that, but that's how feelings are and that's how it hits the hardest. When you least expect it. It doesn't make how they went about it less upsetting, yet it also doesn't mean I didn't get why they did it. But it's no less painful to witness and I fear for those who've gone through the same who got hit with that situation without resolution seeing this. That's all. I'm not choosing sides. You make it seem as if I'm doing all this just to bash Wriothesley. But I know BOTH have done something or another. I keep repeating. Though as you focus on Wriothesley's side only and so thus, in exchange, I bring up Lyney's. Even if I'm honestly impartial to both of them as Lyney is not any more trustworthy. But that whole exchange still left an impact and one must be willing to see both sides as I am willing to see parts of your statement as truth. Notice how I concede to some of your points? Ignoring everything just because you don't agree with parts of it is arrogance. The game even says so. Acknowledgement helps so that such hurtful events never happen again or at least, not as frequently. Even in our "real world", as you say. Lyney spied as a fatuus, Wriothesley responded as it was his work place being exposed. Lyney got his past trauma relived, Wriothesley inadvertently added to that. Both committed to their actions, BOTH now must own up to consequences. Lyney already did that by suffering through the whole ordeal as he was due. But what did Wriothesley get? Tea breaks and satisfaction. Wow. What a wonderful message to send to people. Threatening someone's family is *completely* okay when they cross your borders, an apology is overrated, and trauma made light of is fine if it was just an accident. Not like the affected got "hurt" or anything. Surely. To think, I was only solely in this section to comment to OP as they had a point as well and I was only expressing that everything really did escalate for more than it should have. For putting the inmates at risk for just an intel mission in the Fatui's part. For threatening the lives of one's siblings just for the sake of an invite on the Fortress's part. None of it should have gone that far, yet it did. Just like this comment. I really shouldn't need to explain this and yet you made it necessary when I first commented not seeking your response. Life is more than one side. Wriothesley's doing his job. Lyney's doing his. I see you make your points. Now see mine. None are pitted to fight the other. I only seek to clarify and express as commentors wont to do. (To anyone else reading this. Sorry for the long comment, my siblings do say I always write too long when I get passionate.) And you and everyone else have always been free to scroll away. Still you chose mine to tag on, so here is your answer. A response like Wriothesley did, just as you say, when Lyney made it to his front door and to his business as you are in mine. It's not so delightful to experience at all, right? So now you must understand how Lyney felt responding back to what he got with *heat.* As I have a feeling you may respond to this as well. Or not. Prove me wrong. (Or right.) It's fine. You may not even read this fully, but I really, REALLY am not looking for an argument. This has always been made to explain and clear things up. Let us not bother each other and anyone else we've been pinging more or just agree to disagree and part ways. Whatever. You came here looking for an attitude thinking I'm siding with one and so I must be against the other. When I really only did comment for the benefit of Goblingambits196 to see my agreement to begin with that just so happened to be in favor of Lyney at the time. Hope you found the attitude you've been looking for. Now good day and take care on your way out. Hope it's all worth this.

They really should quit being spies. It's never going to end well if they keep that up.
Yes but they were in the wrong. You can’t justify it because trauma. Lynny has it worse. He’s not emotionally stable. The other two siblings imo have a better control over their emotions.

@@rms.ziggler7344 Of course he's not emotionally stable, he's the one under threat of losing his family.
Arlecchino: I know how I real Archon carries themselves.
She clearly hasn’t meant Venti. They’re all a little odd if I’m being honest.
She might not mean “they carry themselves as if they were important people”. After all, Neuvillette *seems* like an archon in that respect, but he’s not. Maybe there’s a certain air or something that archons have, that Venti would also have? I don’t know what it is, but I don’t have knave’s experience
Honestly, the only Archon that carries themselves anything like the Tsaritsa is Nahida and she’s still a child in her species age and also wholly unexperienced and naive. Ei is too sensitive and fragile, Zhongli is airheaded and prefers listening to mundane stories and drinking tea and Venti out here playing bard sings for drinks. None of them have a throne they sit regularly on and two out of the four we know dont even rule their people anymore
Arlecchino probably meant that Archons are usually handling their own freedom or doing their own duties. Whereas, Furina and Neuvillette are bound/restricted by their responsibilities. Furina must constantly act as a symbol/mascot for Fontaine her actions are mostly just for show and Neuvillette is bound by the Laws; they both don't have freedom on their own. Therefore, Arlecchino must've disregarded them as someone who have the Authorities of an Archon.
@@KayKayBayForever The only air Venti has is the scent of alcohol
@@duckinatux5028 lol, that is his primary “air”, for sure. That’s why I don’t think the Knave is recognizing archons from their “air of authority” or something, but something else currently unknown to us.
Neuvillette really just went 'Be gone thot' to a whole ass sea.
Fr though- there's lore in Enkanomiya that said the new Sovereign of Water would be born in human form when the new generation of Sovereigns was born. And don't need to kill Furina- if an archon dies, another archon takes their place and inherits the gnosis. Buuutttt if an archon just goes 'missing'...but I'm guessing an archon stepping down and turning the gnosis over to a dragon would let them get their power back too.
Act 3 really tells us the monotonous and boring life that people have in prison. Personally i like it.
It'd be better if they either make lifts go all the way to top floor or make teleport way points for all layers of prison
I wished we had a waypoint in our prison room tbh
The writing has been INCREDIBLE in Fontaine! I love your playthroughs and your videos are always amazing
Disagree. Act 3 was a waste of time just to stretch to be longer until you get into the cutscene. Childe was never found and the investigating was also meaningless. They are trying to force to stretch this out to make it to chapter 5 and 6 which successfully Sumeru did way better on chapter 3 and 4
@@simpayshenaides do you know what pacing means ? if you just want to know what happened just read a summary lol. also, childe was not found for a reason you dolt. sumeru archon quest was phenomenal, but fontaine is amazing as well.
@@simpayshenaidesthe desert part of Sumeru Archon quest was one of the most boring Aechon quest I've ever played, it was useless too if not for the part of King Deshret
@@gilgamesh3609 its literally that gave a whole background of the first dendro archon. It was full of fight scenes too. Of you find that boring its because its longer than than fontaine chapter 3 and 4. But it was written better and a bigger hype to save nahida. Not some useless repetitive investigation to wait for cooler cutscene. Even Arlecchino and Furina have less screentime, we are almost at the finale LOL
@@fefedusts yeah i know what pacing means. But its not as worst as this.
one thing i love about jon is that all his reactions and points he adds while the gameplay is so natural and not forced , which is honestly so refreshing and fun to watch...Thank youuu jonn! ❤
Literally felt straight out of a mission from like uncharted or smth a lot smaller but it's fine cause its cool and adds more perspective than just the travler. Ever since Sumeru they have been doing this more and more and it's so goood. Makes us feel more connected to the world. Like we essentially didn't do anything to solve the crisis and I love that the heroes were everyone else.
@@Megirly-kq9whthat‘s what i said to my friends too! It felt nice to see some playable characters being the heroes. I loved it in sumeru too, since al-haitham basically made the whole rescue plan for nahida. It just feels more natural for some reason.
The Archon Quests just keep getting better and better! Also, unpopular opinion: I genuinely like Furina. Her using dramatics to mask her insecurities makes sense when you consider the fact that she doesn't have the gnosis and is used to relying on Neuvillette. I think deep down, she's just really scared of not being able to handle the prophecy coming true, not being able to protect herself from threats like Arlecchino, etc. She's also scared of people knowing that she's scared, so she uses overconfidence as a mask. Again this is just my impression, but to me that makes her more relatable.
Me too. I just see Furina as child, who don't who what to do with all of this responsibility that have pressure on her, so she do what she think is the best - lay all staff to Neuvillete and just play drama on the scene
Yes, i agree with you! I see Furina as a child with no experience in a very high position where it takes a huge toll on her and I see Neuvillette as an older brother (or maybe even a father figure) who tries to protect her from everything because he knows she is fragile. If there is a Boss Fight for Arlecchino I will avenge Furina, just like I do with La Signora xD
agree, what a sad character :(
She gives me mad fischl vibes, comes across as annoying or arrogant but they're actually just traumatised/ sad and using theatrics as a coping mechanism. Only difference being Furina also has an insane ammount of pressure and responsibility piling ontop of her (aka the potential imminent genocide of an entire nation)
I agree too
As much as I want Furina to do a little better in that confrontation, can’t really blame her for not having much nerve in front of her would be assassin.
With Neuvillette's confirmation that the powers of the dragon Sovereigns were used to make the gnoses, I think it's worth revisiting a theory from early Genshin. For a long time now, people have suggested that the gnosis Signora took from Venti was fake, and that Venti actually gave his gnosis to Dvalin at the end of the Mondstadt archon quests. Venti blesses Dvalin with anemo power, and the line Dvalin says is "is this... the power of the Anemo Archon?" And some people think that's literal - Venti secretly made Dvalin the Anemo Archon. But given what we know now, I think that's even more likely. Rather than making a new Archon, in my opinion, it's more accurate to say that Venti was trying to reinstate the rule of the Sovereigns by making Dvalin the new Anemo _Sovereign,_ and that this is a twist that's been set up since the beginning of the game. Neuvillette tells us it's possible for a Sovereign to regain their power if it (i.e. the gnosis) is returned to them - and because they've told us that, that means it's definitely going to happen. But it's not going to happen with Neuvillette, because that would be far too obvious. But what if it's _already happened?_
Neuvillette said that Sovereigns can regain their power, but Dvalin has never been one
@@danilkathacu3686True, but if we think to what Scaramouche has done with the electro Gnosis, then isn't possible that Venti gave him the Authority of the Original Anemo Sovereign
@@gilgamesh3609 there are 2 problems with that theory.
#1 If that was true, then Signora wouldn't be able to steal Gnosis away from Venti. And it's hard to believe that no one in Fatui, with Tsaritsa and Pierro at top, wouldn't found out that they have fake Gnosis. Venti illusions may work on Barbra but it's highly doubtful if they would work on another God or Khaenri'ah mage.
#2 There is no one hunting for Anemo Gnosis. As I said, it's highly unlikely that no one catch the wind of it being fake for over 2 years by now.
@@TheDarshes Maybe its just a....really good disguise🤷♂
@@TheDarshesright, Capuccino said herself, before she even reached Focalor she felt that theres no gnosis on her, they prob could feel gnosis authority if they touch it or probably within certain range
Definitely my favorite Archon quest yet! Act 3 felt a little slow but they 10000% built it up for Act 4!
MAJOR PLOT SPOILERS AHEAD, DO NOT READ IF YOU HAVE NOT FINISHED THE VIDEO!! Right, so here's my theory. All other avenues will fail, furina will have to die for neuvillette to regain his full power. To do so the gnosis (which is according to this new lore bomb basically a "cage" for a chunk of the sovereign dragons' power) will have to be destroyed. In the sumeru archon quest it was outright stated doing so would "incur celestia's wrath"- likely because they use the gnosis as a way of keeping the dragons' power in check. TL;DR, furina has to die, the gnosis will be destroyed to save fontaine from the primordial sea, but in exchange celestial will go full khaenri'ah extermination on fontaine and spark a massive war on teyvat once again.
Ngl I thought of this but then I remembered her playable self got a vision so I’m questioning if it’s possible for like archon to like give away their like power? If so she’ll probably give all of it to neuvillette and will regain his full power and then that would explain why her playable version would need a vision cuz she’s no longer an archon
bruh gnosis is seperate things/chess piece. they are not mixing body with the holder even inside of them like venti so she doesn't need to die to other use power. main plot here is they don't know where the real hydro archon and gnosis. they find gnosis then let Neuvillete use it to stop primordial water and after that give it to knave to save it from celestia wrath plot
Except we literally have Furina drip marketing out so she likely won’t die or be perma dead. Also despite Genshin having all this lore, the devs don’t seem to want to do much with it until later. Also something like destroying a gnosis doesn’t make sense because the Fatui’s entire plan would go to hell unless they extracted power for Neuvillete to create another one.
it is 'Focalors' that needs to die, Furina is nothing more than a mascot
Xd no, Furina was already marketed and we still have Natlan, Snezhnaya and possibly Kaenri'ah to visit. There's no way the war starts so soon.
I feel like act 5 is gonna be insane, I'm really excited and hope to see more of Arlecchino
I was genuinely more scared about having tea with Arlecchino than the possibility of drowning in Primordial Sea Water (well, it doesnt affect the traveler but)-
Finally, the Harbingers actually feel intimidating lol
The best part is she feels conniving and scheming. Every word she speaks has purpose, from the subtle digs she shoots at Furina and Neuvillette, to her buttering up the Traveler to get on his good side, not unlike how Childe did. She practically flaunts how she can mimic Childe's mannerisms in order to fool others, and nobody picks up on it.
I love her, even if she undoubtedly can't be trusted. She's put the Traveler in a tough spot by actively offering an olive branch while brandishing the hidden knife.
@@AerinstadasChronicler I like how she is passive aggressive. She's not overly plastic, but you know she has a lot of weight on every word she speaks.
The stakes feel so much higher with her. The Doctor also felt intimidating but so far, the harbingers felt goofy. With Arlecchino theyre not messing around and I expect the rest to be more or less as scary since we're more than half of Teyvat's storyline
She even tell Hydro Archon not working on anything than Traveller by asking Traveler and Paimon to eat the cake but not ask Furina at all. 😂 She is like noble ...
"If Neuvilette dies Im uninstalling" HAHAHAHA
Furina is just the "source? I made it the fuck up" meme personified
1:13:35 agreed; first time I thought of that was in Inazuma when Sayu had to go get some documents while we were preparing fireworks. I was kinda disappointed we didn't get to play a sort of a stealth mission with Sayu.
Very excited for 4.2 now... the story/lore is so hooking and the cliff hanger at the very with Childe! :0
The prophecy was fontaine will going to flood and all the fontania people became water and other non fontania people would be drowned to die.
But something else that wriothesley discovered a huge ship. I think if they failed to block the primorial sea. I think that ship might help to ride it.
Jon if you read the sun and moon book in enkanomiya.. you will know that the Dragon of Water that perished long ago will be reborn(reincarnated) as human and even tho Neuvillette said that he is only the successor of the previous one.. that is little bit of misleading because he is the reincarnation of the OG dragon of water so basically he is still the OG dragon just reincarnated as a human... and remember apep said that dragon king nebelung also died back then then but also she said he is already back.. what if he is also reincarnated as human and maybe dragon king nibelung is also a playable character in future.. in Natlan maybe?.
I mean, Furina is the Archon, but man, Neuvilette shone in this part.
35:15 man Lyney was panicking PANICKING in CN dub here. I feel like English didn't do that part justice cuz he was basically shitting his pants lol 😭
Jonathon saying "Metropide" just reminds me of how Megamind says "Metrocity" instead of "Metro city"
LETS GOOO I WAS WAITING FOR YOU REACTION SO BAD
My guess is also that the real Archon is related to the Oratrice, or at least the voice heard by Lyney when he inflitrated the Oratrice's core...(?)
In all honestly, This is the first time we see someone actually snapped and told their flaws right in front of an archon.
But hey, the pacing, the action and even Furina's fear and emotion looks surreal! Makes me even more excited to pull for Wriosthesley and sadly I have to sacrificed Neuvillete for his re-run
1:52:19 I don't know if I'm laughing because of Paimon snoring or Jonathon saying "our umbilical cord that connects us to Childe?"
So originally the most powerful beings of this world were dragons until a certain few took a portion of their powers to become the archons?
Yep. Well, until the PO showed up and started a war with the dragons. Had to use some tricks to win then put their power into the gnoses and had the gods fight to hold that power.
And without their full power, it ensures that none of the dragons can ever challenge Celestia.
@@GLoLChibs I dont think he used any tricks tho....I think the Primordial One is genuinely just that strong
I love Act 4, but my god the way they had Traveler figure Neuvi was the hydro dragon was the biggest load of plot convenience ever.
I don't really think so as we the player experienced the same thing as thr travler and many people came to the same conclusion so it's not really unexpected that the travler would also think the same as us. Tbh the biggest confusion was Neuvillette just saying "ye I am" like I thought this was a super duper secret we had no proof other than the fact it rained when he said grief. Like he could've have lied and boom we would have no way to refute him
That… was literally how everyone figured it out back in 4.0. It started raining after Navia chastised Neuvillette, and it was raining when he was at Mr Callas’s grave, and then it stopped when he made up with Navia.
@@dominicdawsn3725 I know. But it seems odd for the Traveler to not have put this together then instead of this specific scenario.
@@baronsionis6855 There wasn’t much reason for the Traveller to think about this much back then. It just so happens that we just finished a “who’s the real Archon and where is the gnosis” chat with Arle just minutes prior, the question of who Neuvillette actually is would be much more fresh on his mind.
@@dominicdawsn3725 Makes sense. Still seems like Hoyo resorted to spelling it out to the Traveler but now it's much less forced than I initially thought.
Damn the fontaine siblings really went trought the wringers this quest
It's really funny how Liney loves to call himself the older brother, while he and Lynette are actually twins 😆
a vagina can not push out two babies at the same time, man
I suppose it just comes down to him just being used to taking care of them all so he just calls himself the oldest.
nope it's something common that the twin that got out first will be the oldest even if their older by minutes only they still the oldest
It seems quite obvious what the plan is for saving everyone. The ship? Hello? The indumidium will be used to fuel it and potentially make it fly since Edwin's specialty was manipulating gravity and his assistant was the main guy working on the ship.
Its funny to see jon chat when they see the word Eons the first thing they think is HSR eons.. when Eons irl literally means "Long periods of time" and sometimes use as "Eternity".
genshin really needs to reword the last question on the “work for 3 days in a row” one bc i’ve seen everyone get confused on it 😭
I love that you’re posting the archon quest here on RUclips since I don’t have twitch i can’t watch your play-through.
Please upload neuvillette story quest to youtube too 🥺
it itches my brain in the deepest parts to not know what happened with Childe and where he really is or how that happened
Furina is 100% working together with Wriothesley on the boat, that's why it's confidential. (At least that is what i want to believe)
Never did think I'd grow to like the Duke. I rather severely misjudged him. You're an amazing guy, Wriothesley. I apologize for all the hostility.
The archon quest was so smooth!! I fell in ❤ with it. I can't wait for the rizz in the next update so far.
So exited to see your reaction!
Is it just me and my impressionable mind, who got a bit uncomfortable, when Wrio led us to the Primordial sea seal and started speaking like "Yeah, we are at the bottom of the sea and have ticking bomb right under, that can blow up any moment now"
Granted, i was doing both acts in a row without leaving the fortress at all and with headphones, so I cut myself out of real world and my emersion was on top, but that still was probably the creepeast moment i can remember in genshin.
Basically Act 3 and 4 is one big continuous quest
That’s why knave was trying to get Furina to eat and Keuvi is a reincarnation of the Hydro dragon
hahaha the whole time we got Neuvi on screen i was whispering "Neuvillette I love you, i love you Neuvillete", so i feel ya.
the scene with Chlorinde and Wrio being all sassy with tea and then then whole cutsene with the gates ugh, beautiful wonderful! unfortunately, Wrio having such charisma made me sad bcs I wasnt pulling for him but now I want him *cries in primo-poor *
Wriothesley is so aesthetically pleasing
Im most interested about childe, because I want to see him reawaken his power to a new level
hoyo made wrio mention teas everytime just so everyone knows he's british
Welcome to Fontaine, the land modeled after France: we have Americans (Chevreuse) and Brits (Wriothesley)
I’m being honest, I started cackling when Furina started begging for her life
Now that i think about it, the Remurian origin story sounds a lot like the origin story of the Roman Empire and Rome by Aeneas' hand.
Its so crystal clear that furina we met since beginning isnt the archon, she is the other soul, she is furina indeed, but she isnt focalors
copium
It's funny to see how wrong Arlecchino was concerning Furina, and so many people were on her side.
Furina and Focalors are truly the only one who sacrified so much to save the people of Fontaine.
I think Neu will gain his remaining power when he holds Hydro Gnosis
your pfp 💀💀 And I just saw a mc Signora pfp so its even funnier
@@Parthgamer123 but my field of job ais recruiting young female for.... for academic education
1:02:19 “Mnnn… how touching.” I love Wrio the rizz tea lord 😂 As a fan of tea myself, I will need him in my teapot. He must come home!!!!
1:55:55-1:57:02 *NO THOUGHTS JUST WRIO!!!!* He was so cool in all these scenes
Aether: diverts Daddy's attention
Furina: Yaps
Now i just want to see what will happen in 4.2!!! Also, even Arlechhino said that assumed that Neuvillette was the hydro archon like us lol
Neuvilette is so sick, The knave is so sick, Furina is sick.
I love how they are getting better and better no wonder writing team got a shoutout at livestream
2:43:30 a whole mood lol. The things we do to stay close to wriothesley.
Oh I bet the REAL HYDRO ARCHON is inside the Oratrice! And Furina is like a fromt.. or a split persona of the archon.
Did anyone notice arleccino said im one of eleven harbingers ? It may seem nothing important at first , but remember at this time scara never was a harbinger , he erased himself , so we should have another harbinger in place of him
If you talk to the Fatui in Monstadt after Scara erased himself (so... now, actually), they mention that his seat has been vacant for a long time. So, no, he wasn't replaced because he actually DID exist, but nobody remembers him. So Irminsul, since it can't just invent something happening that didn't happen, rewrote everyone's memories to "Scara's seat has been vacant for a long time." So even with Scara having deleted himself from Irminsul, 11 positions still exist within the Fatui Harbingers. Arlecchino holds one of those 11 positions, thus, "One of the 11." Also, might I remind you that Childe is the 11th Fatui Harbinger and he still exists. He doesn't magically become the 10th because Scara deleted himself from Irminsul.
@2:12:44 don't know if anyone has commented anything about this scene, but in the Chinese dub Furina's voice changes a lot, like a complety different person, while on English dub is barely noticeable imo

this makes a lot of sense with Furina's double personality and the idea of her not being an actual archon
Okay I have a theory, if Neuvillette's a dragon and Furina doesn't have the gnosis (by which I mean neither are the true archon) what if Egeria never died, and she's the oratrice? Even if she did die she could've taken the gnosis and used it to put her conscience in the oratrice, which would explain why Furina doesn't know how it works despite allegedly having made it herself, but is confident that the nation will be saved (maybe Egeria had a plan of some sort?). We know it's possible since Rukkehdavata did it with Irminsul, so we could have a similar case here. And that would be why Furina doesn't have the gnosis, it'd be in the oratrice.
That would make Furina the most incompetent Archon in the game (if she even IS the Archon). Why? Because as we have been told by Neuvillette (so, presumably, Furina knows this to), the "Prophecy" is actually Egeria's Final Judgment of Fontaine. The inference here is that the flooding of Fontaine by the Primordial Sea IS Egeria's plan. And this makes even more sense if you consider that when Neuvillette sealed the sluice to the Primordial Sea, it is possible the person he was "speaking" to was the person whom he knew to be the one judging and sentencing Fontaine: Hydro Archon Egeria. It would stand to reason that Neuvillette was apologizing to Egeria for temporarily overruling her authority.
2:30:34 I say first usurper is celestia
How cool would it be if Childe's true power turns out to be the primordial sea instead of just normal hydro, cause the colours on his foul legacy form does match the colour of the primordial water's purple hue.
Yesss I was waiting for your reaction to this, can’t wait to finish watching it🥰
So if gnosis is what grants an archon the "authority" the dragons once had, and greatly buffs their powers, what does it mean for the Electro Archon who "doesn't need it anymore"? And if the seven sovereigns can have "successors", I can only think of Zhongli's dragon form, his age and his secret that he can't tells because of the contract.
funny thing though is that jp dub this scene ( 42:56 ) wriosthesley says the iconic "yare yare"
Tbh, i watched this mostly for the reactions on the cutscenes and the two helpers relationship
2:03:53 - as said, we have his vision and it’s still active. If he would’ve died, it wouldn’t be active anymore, like the one from Kazuhas friend. So, the definition of „save“ lies on everyone of their own, al least we know that he ist still alive
Well given the 4.2 Special Program, we now know Childe is, very much, alive. But I just wanted to point out that, by your own logic, Childe could have, very much, been dead. To throw your reasoning back at you, Kazuha was able to re-activate his dead friend's Vision when he faced The Raiden Shogun. Whose to say the Traveler wasn't doing to same for Childe's Vision? Again, we know this is not the case and that Childe is alive, but I just wanted to point this out to give you food for thought.
@@ForeverDegeneratethat’s fair, but the vision from Kazuhas friend was only active for a very short moment, while Childes vision is permanently active
If you ask me, I don't really trust the Knave. If she want save Fontaine than I help her with all I can, but other I will be wary on her.
My favourite part wads when dad- I mean Wriothesley and Neuvillete appearing in cutscene, oh that was so sick I can't😩🔥
Man... watching this has given me one hell of a craving for some tea.
Laverune and Cuistot the homies man! Bombshell Bros for life
Arle saying that Furina doesn't have the Gnosis (which I suspected) but that she seems to be cursed... well I personally find it suspicious that Furina's hair is glowing all (most of?) the time, normally the Archons hairs only glow when they use their elemental powers.
And then I remembered the Narzissenkreuz questline with Mary-Ann and Ann. What if Furina is like that as well. That this Furina is Ann instead of Mary-Ann.
(I don't want to write too much about the questline and the characters in case someone hasn't played it yet.)
I have to say though Arle saying neither Furina nor Neuvillette seem like Archons based on the Tsaritsa is ridiculous. I mean look at Venti! Or Zhongli. Like no one would have doubted that Morax was the Geo Archon but I am sure he was/is nothing like the Tsaritsa.
Btw. I would love for Neuvillette to get his full powers back at some point and being even more of an absolute badass!
Also Childe wth have you gotten yourself into!? But imagine Childe becomes the Hydro Archons *laughs*
(But did you all realise that Childe is IN the Primordial Water? Good thing he is not from Fontaine or he would be gone.)
Watching this after the 4.2 archon quest, makes it look like it makes so much sense!
I’m so glad I’m not the only one who really likes the Bombshell Bros! I hope to see them again..
2:12:40 just realized that Arlechino was suposed to laugh first before speaking
Childe is in the Abyss. He said he saw the whale in the Abyss.
2:15:30 dude you’re the first person I saw to realize that she was roasting Furina indirectly
apparently from what i can gather we can say that the dissolving primordial seawater was an unusual perversion of the natural version even neuvillette himself expressed how strange it was for primordial seawater to dissolve people. so we can infer that the primordial seawater here is the natural type. while still plenty dangerous it isn't as hopeless as the devouring kind we previously encountered
Cuistot and laverune are some real good prison pals i love them
1:04:35 and that's why this man is one of my favorite streamers
You kept mentioning Freminet’s helmet, I’m a Freminet fan and fyi he can breathe underwater because of his vision if you didn’t know. (I’m a genshin geek okay?)
I absolutely loved act 4. Not as good as Sumeru's (likely because I don't think this was long enough to make it better), but I'd still say over the past Fontaine acts. Top 5.
Was it worth act 3? Idrk, though.
We know so little about furina and I dont think that whale can be explained well in one act. I really hope they have act 6 or maybe 7 bc at the end of sumeru’s act4 we finally reach the ending while this one still has some more to explain - I hope they dont keep the lore for world quest like inazuma
There is act 5 and 6 right?
@@scarletstones8505 We don't know. As of now, its 100% chance that we will have an act 5 (thanks @oba73_ for correcting me). But, after that, no idea.
@@foolishloogish There's a 100% chance of an Act V because they literally said in the Special Program that Fontaine's Archon Quest would end in 4.2.
I really hope they do an Act VI, with everything going on it seems like it'd be hard to wrap it all up in a single act.
@@oba73_ Oh, did they? I must've missed that. I agree that there should be an Act VI.
i hated how everyone doubted furina. even from the beginning i could tell she truly cares and has been working to save fontaine. i know act 5 has passed for most, but what if the real reason she couldnt say anything was because she was going to sacrifice herself, and if she let anything slip, someone would stop her, therefore letting fontaine drown? what if that was her true plan? that was my first thought, was it not anyone elses?
2:14:21 wow did you kinda predict what was happening
Also looking back after it’s finished I love Furina even more
DROWN ME WITH YOUR WATER NEUVILLETTE!!
Ayo-
Count me in!
