hi everyone!! hope you enjoy act 4, a lot more spicy than act 3 obviously c: apologies if you can notice it's a bit less edited, elbow really hurt earlier this week and didn't want to make it worse so I took it easy + it's mom's birthday today so I wanted to make sure I could spend the day with her have a great week!!
Happy birthday to your mom! Hope you'll have a great day and sweet memories together! 🎂 (Thanks for the video, too. Can't wait to fully see your reaction to it. That was some heavy stuff...)
If you didnt know , Artifacts represent primordial one , the guy that defeated dragons and created humans and to defeat dragons he created 4 shades of himself , gods of life , death , time and void or space , and thats why artifacts are flower of life , plume of death , sands of time and goblet of space while circlet represents reason and primordial one himself . We also knew for a long time that before seelies were for some reason punished by celestia which stripped them of their bodies and minds , they were envoys of heavens and i guess angels and envoys of heavens mean same thing
thank you!! I indeed had no clue.. I'll be reading up on more of this very soon, I made a bookmark folder with a bunch of stuff I have missed, hopefully I'll be back up to speed after~
There was a Seelie who fell in love with a traveler (maybe descender???), and they tried to run away together, but both got caught and punished. The three moon sisters got into some conflict related to that and died (the moon is one of their corpses). The rest of the Seelies also got punished and were expelled from Heaven

He also isn’t just the Cavalry Captain, he’s also the Quartermaster (Manga) and Dionas called him the “Guard Captain” (TCG) ^*^ but we know that Varka took the horses based off of a voiceline
Saw a video about this that said at least vichama could be with mallko now that he’s passed but his soul was destroyed trying to protect us in the night realm from the abyss in the previous act 2😭

Fatui Skirmishers are "Augmented Soldiers" so the robotic voice is probably caused by The Doctor messing around with their bodies to make them stronger
SPOILER: GET SOME TISSUES FOR THIS ONE 2:05:00 I have no idea if these are different for everyone but here I found a mother and child hiding below the stairs, they were hidden behind the body of a dead Hydro gunner fatui and escaped the monsters thanks to his sacrifice o7 brave soldier
@@FixximusIIIMCrawok but it's still kind of nice to know if you get there earlier that the hydro gunners effort did matter, there's no right choice since all life matters (not a BLM joke)
I'm kinda glad he chose the saurians on this part first, cause honestly the yumkasaurus sole survivor (if he chose the north first) was SO MUCH WORSE to experience than seeing the dead.
1:17:00 "We're saving everyone!" ... Chose the wrong Act to say that, my guy! Actually kinda funny in a "holy hell, everyone is dead or dying and the PTSD will take years to solve" kinda way.
The "fragments behind the false sky" are actually a broken moon and you can even see it in the sky in game after finishing act IV!! If you wanna see it, try to look up to the right of the stadium! It's a little hard to see but it's really cool.. and a bit scary too. There's also a place in Natlan where one of the broken pieces of the moon has crashed into the ground (atleast i think it belongs to the moon...)
@@kazu2kazu If you're asking about the fragment: Its near the Fatui hideout so to the right of the "ancestral temple", its basicly the far right of Natlan's map. There is also a small world quest there with some random child. There a huge ass crater in the ground so it's quite easy to see
@@RednasYo lol, don't make me start on whole royal family🤣: * tsarevich - son of the ruler (prince) (Genshin actually have an nps with this name, if I remember correctly) * tsarevna - daughter of the ruler (princess). Ps. Bureau of useless information 😂
i love that the war is done in gameplay and how the whole map is utilised!! despite limitations of being a mobile game they managed to depict war really well by making it very sparse. it would be cool if they could change the amount of npcs and monsters on the map based of players hardware especially when we're in balloons but i guess they don't want the experience to be too different across platforms
44:30 i highly recommend asikhai if you are interested in detailed lore . She has detailed explanation videos on every topic there is . she explained this stuff long ago & she is one of the best lore & theory Crafter in the RUclips. also minsleif : for short & easy lore Wei : for most insane & spicy theory's
i'll check them out, thank you!! first i'll be trying to read some of the books myself and see if i can get some understanding, probably on stream so people can help me~
@@RednasYo Yeah I highly recommend reading stuff for yourself instead of watching videos. Too often I see people watching lore theory videos and taking statements in them as fact and then passing the theories on as if they're fact, which leads to a lot of confusion and misinformation in the community, sometimes from people that insist they're right when they're not. It's much better to look at the in-game sources yourself so you know what's canon.
@@foozlesprite while this is literally the wrong way to watch a theory videos, but it doesnt mean that you cannot watch theory videos at all. but i guess its just in-line with how most perceive a story and theorizing its continuation. still, dont put the blame on the theory video maker, blame the people who cannot have even a grain worth of doubt
100% The Captain is going to take the 'hit' for Mavuika's use of Ronova's power. His curse is going to cancel it out and Mavuika will give him the gnosis for it. I would be very surprised if it didn't play out like that. I suppose that the cost could end up getting through the Captain's curse (RIP Capitano) and Colombina (who is likely an Angel like the Lord of the Night) comes to collect the gnosis. Also, the Traveler will probably get to experience death as well in act 5 (ode brings them back). These are my act 5 predictions.
I was waiting to see rednasyo’s reaction cause this quest hit me so hard, needed someone to understand the tears cause I was sobbing the whole time playing. I think hoyo did a great job with the update list of monsters vs how many people we were losing and that despite how hard or fast we fight, there was no way to save everyone even if the traveler is canonically strong. It was overwhelming and the feeling of hopelessness went up as we’re forced to see all the lifeless bodies and it hit even worse when I realized there were different outcomes for my choices and that I could’ve saved others
Yeap, I love the harbinger as a group so much. Everyone has a traumatic and/or tragic past, and the way they act is defined by that... except for the Doctor. He's just a massive fuckwad even before the Akademiya.
Ik how everyone's having a turnaround towards harbingers due to the last two interactions with their top brass but this far we've only met 3 reasonable harbingers and the other two were out to straight up murder us. My prediction is the only other reasonable harbingers will probably be The Rooster, The Marionette and very low possibility of The Regrator.
EDIT: All done! Thanks for the playthrough. ❤ I'mma edit this a few times to answer some questions and will mark it as done when I'm done. Regarding Guthred, you could also tell he's a Khaenri'an from the Star on his chest. Regarding the alphabets in Teyvat, yes we do have them all translated and they're all mapped to the Phonetic (A-Z) alphabet. When talking to the Lord of the Night, you asked about "the power of the heavens," which is what Mavuika refers to when discussing how they obtained the power of the Ode of Resurrection. So, the question we were really posing was, "So, about where Natlan get its rules from?" The answer we sought wasn't about the Unknown God but about whichever God helped Natlan. Fate is indeed a silly concept from the perspective of the fated. However, consider this analogy: An author, when writing a book, can determine a character's end before writing any other part of that character's story. That character now has a fate, whether they know it or not. The fact that they have a fate may not matter to that character in the slightest, they may never even think about the concept, but they have one, nonetheless. Whether that matters is entirely up to the individual to decide. The concept of Fate in Genshin seems to be that there are eventualities that the world can force, and the individual merely has the ability to influence the journey along the way. There is still meaning in that, IMO, but some don't feel that way. For example, choose your own adventure stories and games do only have a limited number of endings, fates that are all predetermined by the author. Whether those options are meaningful is subjective. It could be as little as a dialogue option that provides a slightly different response or as large as something that will change the final outcome of the story/game, but at the end of the day they are all accounted for and designed by the author. The Traveler and Paimon are the center item on the Lord of the Night's scoll. "The Star that Transcends Destiny, and the Greatest Companion." And yes, one of them is the Lil Buddy World Quest, two of the ones you had are Character/Tribal Quests, and the rest of had are Archon Quest related. Part of the reason Mualani appeared to be purifying the waters for so long is because there was no update from that area. It was the last thing you heard they were doing. BTW, 5.2 won't have an Archon Quest, we're waiting until New Year's Day/Eve (depending on your timezone) for the conclusion. Kinich called Ajaw Polly because Ajaw said to stop treating him like he was a pet parrot. You may have heard "Polly want a cracker?" as a stereotypical parrot line. And that's the video. Thanks for sharing your ride with us, as always. You might not always understand things 100% but that's okay, understanding comes with learning over time. What you CAN'T learn is emotional investment in the story, which is something I think has been lacking in the Genshin space lately. I'll be looking forward to more in the future! /end
Not really a spoiler, but other other options and outcomes. So, with the war segment, your choices do matter. The first part, if you go to save the curior instead of the wounded civillians, the curiour is at the stadium when you go back later. You also dont save the doctor lady, im unsure if she survives otherwise. Also all of the warriors die by the time you return there after going to the stadium. Only the 2 men were left hiding inside and chose to take up weapons and some other warriors showed up to take them to the stadium. The second choice where you wanted to be closer to the captin saved med supplies, while the other location saves some warriors and saves a back up party as well. When you return after the stadium there is like 4 or 5 people along with the leader who gives the speech. Also the leaders speech is stronger worded. Okay the north and south options, man they were hard after i leard the oppisite choice. You went south first like i did, saved some people and a saurian. Returning later only the saurian is left alive. Going north first saves a mother and child that are trapped under the wooden planks. When you return later if you go south first, there are no survivors and their bodies cant be seen under the planks. Your choices also depend on who you see at the half way point when the game tells you to take a break. Not criticizing what you did or anything, just wanted to let you know the differences Final remark, i could not stop crying from Chuychu.....
I'm just realizing that citlali is a visionary. She knows the travler is a defender, and she can read mavuika fate. Only a visionary can do that to my understanding of the lore. That would make her the first playable visionary cuz even Mona can read the travelers fate.
It might be that she knows the traveller is a descender because she couldn't read the traveler's fate. The fact that she even knows about descenders is very interesting, though
44:26 I had the SAME misunderstanding lmao, I thought we got the unknown god's name at this quest. It took me until actually hearing Ronova's voice in Mavuika's trance to realize she's a different god
Yeah shed some tears watching this all over again. God this act was so so devastating. Every time the death toll and corrosion levels kept rising, it was just a huge punch in the gut. I just kept shedding tears seeing all the bodies and hearing paimon cry and slowly lose it. THE FAKE SKY FINALLY BEING SHOWN!?!?!?! WHEN I TELL MY JAW WAS TO THE FLOOR. Overall i cannot wait for Act V because i just wanna see how us and Mav will beat everything together. AMAZING VIDEO AS ALWAYSSSS
49:35 the A B C scholar: "Aberewaa" means the mother god of the earth in the language of the Akan people in the Gulf of Guinea. "Bosomtwe" is taken from the antelope god in Ghanaian mythology in West Africa. "Cuxtal" may come from the word 'Kuxtal' meant "life" in the Yucatan language of the Maya civilization.
In the Version 5.0 livestream, they said that all of the Archon Quest Acts would be unlocked between Versions 5.0 and 5.3 so there's a pretty big chance that Act 5 will be in version 5.3 and that 5.2 will be new areas and new world quests. The fact that Mavuika didn't get drip marketing yet also supports this.
Thanks rednas, my waiting is worth it! the commentary is entertaining as always. U read everything for us, even mute voice, u didn't miss every texts and details
44:27 no. You wanted to know about the heavenly principles, but the person who we saw at the start of the game, the "unknown god" is the sustainer of the heavenly principles. They're not the same person.
Thank you for the play through! Since i found your channel i always go through my archon quests simultaneously with you, bc i lose interest and desire to do them if i am alone. You make quests more interesting with your remarks and i love hearing your reactions to different events!
Pretty hype the potential of the final act. The abyss order wouldn’t let the abyss be defeated, so time to confront our sibling again alongside the loom of fate. Dain in a main archon quest. Potentially the burning of Irminsul. They’re likely going to set up huge stakes heading into version 6 and the final nation of Teyvat
I'VE BEEN SO WAITING FOR THIS!! all I could think about after playing through the story is how hype your new vid is going to be! and it is! happy birthday to your mom also 🎉
Happy birthday to your mum :> and i hope your arm is okay!! The story also reminded me a LOT of Avengers and people on TikTok making edits with avengers sounds didn't help either 😭
LOVE THE VIDEO I WAS WAITING FOR PART 2!! Also not so fun fact, your choices dueing the battle actually effect your death count and save some people at the risk of others for example if you choose to save the saurians then i think a group of people will die instead if you arent quick
46:22 "Have you heard of the concepts of the Light Realm and the Human Realm?" "NO?" Guess someone had skipped through the entire Enkanomiya World Quest hahahaha. But anyways, I never really left any comments in your playthrough videos so I suppose I am going to leave one now; thank you Rednas for always making these playthrough vids and make my days with your reactions! Keep up the good work and dont strain yourself with your schedule and everything!
During the last long flight on hot-air balloon (past the decimated Scions of Canopy) when Paimon says that she doesn’t think she can handle it anymore and Travel encourages her, the Traveler is actually voiced in other languages, its treated that serious
Such a shame more people don't watch this masterpiece of gameplay/commentary. I have seen most of the main channels reaction and neither put such an emphasis as Rednas does, like man I did not know there were like sidequests for little characters, like you saved the mom from one of the warriors and there are many more instances of people dying/being saved by tour decisions that only Rednas puts a focus to
i dont know if anyone else told you this, but the actions you take during the war affect your npc cutscenes and the death toll you get at the end. for me i didnt save the old mom doctor so at the stadium at 2:36:54 qhispe in my playthrough said she was struggling to save people and that she wished there was a more experienced doctor there, and i never met mayahuel in my playthrough the average death toll ive seen is 2k, with a few people reaching 1.8k, and the max ive seen went up to 8k or 9k (someone had 99k but im not convinced thats not edited) ive also been told that doing the optional quests and being fast in killing the monsters also affects your death toll but idk how true that is since everyone ive watched has done the optional quests up till now
I haven't finished the video but Vichama died and the worse is, he can't reunite with Malcom coz his soul was destroy in the Night Kingdom. Also, if you picked at civilians and Fatui over the saurian place, you'd see a Fatui Cryo Gunner blocking an entrance with his dead body to protect the mother and daughter inside :"))) GREAT VIDEO AS WELL AA
my theory is that next act is going to be us beating the abyss, and then our act 5 will involve the Heavenly Principles. Like we're going to save Mauvika somehow and because of that AND the false sky being revealed, the Heavenly Principles are going to do something but maybe that's just wishful thinking.
51:51 cause ayizu was the chief of masters of the night wind, and some people from that tribe can see/read the future/fate just like how citlali read ours in act 3, imo thats most likely how ayizu know about it
Never thought another Archon would beat act V Furina as my favourite archon, but Mavuika is really killing it. She's human but feels so much more like an Archon than the other nations, the way she reacts to crisis and her humanisation of how she rose to that position of Archon
2:09:43 now that you mention it, seriously where are the other nations 😭 surely they've heard about the situation of this war they should send back-up 😭 (unless fate said something like they shouldn't intervene with another nation's crisis 😩)
Who knows how strong Paimon might be, but it is quite the feat for her to have survived through all the events up until now right by our side. The other nations might have lent their support but the abyss attack took relatively one day to beat and also the same amount of time to nearly overun and destroy Natlan. So because they polishe it up so fast its all good now, but should Mauvika fail, then even if word got out about then abyss invasion, I doubt there would be anything left to save. The abyss invasion was soo fast, real blitz krieg strategy on the abyss side.
LET'S GOOOOOOOOO i have the whole week free for this edit: that was whew..... so exhaustive as acts 3 & 4, like yes same question, what the hell else are we gonna have to go through for act 5, no? anyway, excited for that then! thanks for the video!
Hey, Mr. Rednas! If you are really curious about the lore of the game (or even the lore that came up in this quest), you should read the book called ‘Before Sun and Moon’. We got it from a quest in Enkanomiya. It mentions everything from the shades to Istaroth to the 3 realms. In fact we learned about Neuvillette from a book from Enkanomiya, not sure it’s the same book. You will appreciate the quests even more after reading those books!
from what I know, the Fatui often sound like robots and have bandages on their faces because they were experimented on by Dottore, who creates super-soldiers when testing things on people, often disfiguring them in the process

(So excited to watch this been waiting since the act 3)
WE LOVE REDNAS
WE ALL LOVE REDNAS!!
FOR NATLA- i mean WE ALL LOVE REDNAS
WE ALL LOVE REDNAS
1:22:20 "US" is the middle icon right below the pyro icon. "The star that transcends destiny and the greatest companion."
Tsaritsa is a real word! and it's used for female ruler in slavic countries, male one is tsar
happy birthday to your mom!
Small correction: “tsar”, “tsaritsa”, etc were used specifically in Moscovia and Russia, other slavic countries used other terms
SPOILER: GET SOME TISSUES FOR THIS ONE
2:05:00 I have no idea if these are different for everyone but here I found a mother and child hiding below the stairs, they were hidden behind the body of a dead Hydro gunner fatui and escaped the monsters thanks to his sacrifice
o7 brave soldier
It’s a matter of where you go first, you went there before the saurian tamers so those guys were saved while Rednas went there later so they both died
@@FixximusIIIMCrawok but it's still kind of nice to know if you get there earlier that the hydro gunners effort did matter, there's no right choice since all life matters (not a BLM joke)
I'm kinda glad he chose the saurians on this part first, cause honestly the yumkasaurus sole survivor (if he chose the north first) was SO MUCH WORSE to experience than seeing the dead.
1:17:00 "We're saving everyone!"
... Chose the wrong Act to say that, my guy! Actually kinda funny in a "holy hell, everyone is dead or dying and the PTSD will take years to solve" kinda way.
The "fragments behind the false sky" are actually a broken moon and you can even see it in the sky in game after finishing act IV!! If you wanna see it, try to look up to the right of the stadium! It's a little hard to see but it's really cool.. and a bit scary too. There's also a place in Natlan where one of the broken pieces of the moon has crashed into the ground (atleast i think it belongs to the moon...)
do you know where that location is?
@@kazu2kazu If you're asking about the fragment: Its near the Fatui hideout so to the right of the "ancestral temple", its basicly the far right of Natlan's map. There is also a small world quest there with some random child. There a huge ass crater in the ground so it's quite easy to see
@@imhisnoona2993you right! Iforgot about that since i do the moon quest before archon quest
@@noobbll Yeah i also did the quest already and i was wondering what that huge "stone" actually is until act IV
@@imhisnoona2993 alright thank you for the info!
at this point i've seen the sky break so many times but somehow every time it feels just as insane
55:24
tsar - male ruler (king)
tsaritsa - female ruler (queen)
i can't believe i had never heard of tsaritsa before, thank you!!
It gives me the option to "translate to english" but it only changes the fact that the timestamp stops working😂😭
@@RednasYo lol, don't make me start on whole royal family🤣:
* tsarevich - son of the ruler (prince) (Genshin actually have an nps with this name, if I remember correctly)
* tsarevna - daughter of the ruler (princess).
Ps. Bureau of useless information 😂
@@Evgenia00 Nah this is definitely a cool "The more you know" info of the day, thanks for sharing :")
@@Evgenia00 Wait, that Mondstadt's bastard is Tsaritsa's prince????
i love that the war is done in gameplay and how the whole map is utilised!!
despite limitations of being a mobile game they managed to depict war really well by making it very sparse. it would be cool if they could change the amount of npcs and monsters on the map based of players hardware especially when we're in balloons but i guess they don't want the experience to be too different across platforms
44:30 i highly recommend asikhai if you are interested in detailed lore . She has detailed explanation videos on every topic there is . she explained this stuff long ago & she is one of the best lore & theory Crafter in the RUclips.
also minsleif : for short & easy lore
Wei : for most insane & spicy theory's
i'll check them out, thank you!! first i'll be trying to read some of the books myself and see if i can get some understanding, probably on stream so people can help me~
@@RednasYoLore reading stream, let’s go!
@@RednasYo Yeah I highly recommend reading stuff for yourself instead of watching videos. Too often I see people watching lore theory videos and taking statements in them as fact and then passing the theories on as if they're fact, which leads to a lot of confusion and misinformation in the community, sometimes from people that insist they're right when they're not. It's much better to look at the in-game sources yourself so you know what's canon.
@@RednasYo audio books by rednas LESSSGOOOOOOO
@@foozlesprite while this is literally the wrong way to watch a theory videos, but it doesnt mean that you cannot watch theory videos at all. but i guess its just in-line with how most perceive a story and theorizing its continuation. still, dont put the blame on the theory video maker, blame the people who cannot have even a grain worth of doubt
ajaw chomping away at the grapes sends me every time 😭
55:20 This line actually recontextualizes what Scaramouche did with the Electro Gnosis, who would've thought that the Tsaritsa was chill like that.
100% The Captain is going to take the 'hit' for Mavuika's use of Ronova's power. His curse is going to cancel it out and Mavuika will give him the gnosis for it. I would be very surprised if it didn't play out like that. I suppose that the cost could end up getting through the Captain's curse (RIP Capitano) and Colombina (who is likely an Angel like the Lord of the Night) comes to collect the gnosis.
Also, the Traveler will probably get to experience death as well in act 5 (ode brings them back). These are my act 5 predictions.
columbina mentioned
SPOILERS
Congratulations on getting it right my guy. RIP Capitano 🕊️
the hole in the sky got patched up immediately but you can still see the fragments there btw
hope your elbow pain goes away quickly rednas
4:45 Xilonen was the crafter of Kachina’s Turbo Twirly so maybe she can use something like that
I was waiting to see rednasyo’s reaction cause this quest hit me so hard, needed someone to understand the tears cause I was sobbing the whole time playing. I think hoyo did a great job with the update list of monsters vs how many people we were losing and that despite how hard or fast we fight, there was no way to save everyone even if the traveler is canonically strong. It was overwhelming and the feeling of hopelessness went up as we’re forced to see all the lifeless bodies and it hit even worse when I realized there were different outcomes for my choices and that I could’ve saved others
GET OUT OF THE WAY OR GET BLOWN AWAY! FOR NATLAN!
Im really glad so many of the Harbingers turn out to just be cool people. Except the Doctor, i dont think he's redeemable 😭
Yeap, I love the harbinger as a group so much. Everyone has a traumatic and/or tragic past, and the way they act is defined by that... except for the Doctor. He's just a massive fuckwad even before the Akademiya.
@@jsw973 oh yeah no the Doctor is just,,, genuinely evil as a character lmao
Ik how everyone's having a turnaround towards harbingers due to the last two interactions with their top brass but this far we've only met 3 reasonable harbingers and the other two were out to straight up murder us. My prediction is the only other reasonable harbingers will probably be The Rooster, The Marionette and very low possibility of The Regrator.
EDIT: All done! Thanks for the playthrough. ❤
I'mma edit this a few times to answer some questions and will mark it as done when I'm done.
Regarding Guthred, you could also tell he's a Khaenri'an from the Star on his chest.
Regarding the alphabets in Teyvat, yes we do have them all translated and they're all mapped to the Phonetic (A-Z) alphabet.
When talking to the Lord of the Night, you asked about "the power of the heavens," which is what Mavuika refers to when discussing how they obtained the power of the Ode of Resurrection. So, the question we were really posing was, "So, about where Natlan get its rules from?" The answer we sought wasn't about the Unknown God but about whichever God helped Natlan.
Fate is indeed a silly concept from the perspective of the fated. However, consider this analogy: An author, when writing a book, can determine a character's end before writing any other part of that character's story. That character now has a fate, whether they know it or not. The fact that they have a fate may not matter to that character in the slightest, they may never even think about the concept, but they have one, nonetheless. Whether that matters is entirely up to the individual to decide. The concept of Fate in Genshin seems to be that there are eventualities that the world can force, and the individual merely has the ability to influence the journey along the way. There is still meaning in that, IMO, but some don't feel that way. For example, choose your own adventure stories and games do only have a limited number of endings, fates that are all predetermined by the author. Whether those options are meaningful is subjective. It could be as little as a dialogue option that provides a slightly different response or as large as something that will change the final outcome of the story/game, but at the end of the day they are all accounted for and designed by the author.
The Traveler and Paimon are the center item on the Lord of the Night's scoll. "The Star that Transcends Destiny, and the Greatest Companion." And yes, one of them is the Lil Buddy World Quest, two of the ones you had are Character/Tribal Quests, and the rest of had are Archon Quest related.
Part of the reason Mualani appeared to be purifying the waters for so long is because there was no update from that area. It was the last thing you heard they were doing.
BTW, 5.2 won't have an Archon Quest, we're waiting until New Year's Day/Eve (depending on your timezone) for the conclusion.
Kinich called Ajaw Polly because Ajaw said to stop treating him like he was a pet parrot. You may have heard "Polly want a cracker?" as a stereotypical parrot line.
And that's the video. Thanks for sharing your ride with us, as always. You might not always understand things 100% but that's okay, understanding comes with learning over time. What you CAN'T learn is emotional investment in the story, which is something I think has been lacking in the Genshin space lately. I'll be looking forward to more in the future!
/end
Leaks are saying 5.2 will now have an archon quest as well and there will be 6 acts
I deliberately avoid leaks. Please delete your message.
Not really a spoiler, but other other options and outcomes.
So, with the war segment, your choices do matter. The first part, if you go to save the curior instead of the wounded civillians, the curiour is at the stadium when you go back later. You also dont save the doctor lady, im unsure if she survives otherwise. Also all of the warriors die by the time you return there after going to the stadium. Only the 2 men were left hiding inside and chose to take up weapons and some other warriors showed up to take them to the stadium. The second choice where you wanted to be closer to the captin saved med supplies, while the other location saves some warriors and saves a back up party as well. When you return after the stadium there is like 4 or 5 people along with the leader who gives the speech. Also the leaders speech is stronger worded. Okay the north and south options, man they were hard after i leard the oppisite choice. You went south first like i did, saved some people and a saurian. Returning later only the saurian is left alive. Going north first saves a mother and child that are trapped under the wooden planks. When you return later if you go south first, there are no survivors and their bodies cant be seen under the planks. Your choices also depend on who you see at the half way point when the game tells you to take a break.
Not criticizing what you did or anything, just wanted to let you know the differences
Final remark, i could not stop crying from Chuychu.....
I'm just realizing that citlali is a visionary. She knows the travler is a defender, and she can read mavuika fate. Only a visionary can do that to my understanding of the lore. That would make her the first playable visionary cuz even Mona can read the travelers fate.
It might be that she knows the traveller is a descender because she couldn't read the traveler's fate. The fact that she even knows about descenders is very interesting, though
I just realized that its really different depending wich u make first and wich later, it decides wich npc survive and wich not thats so cool holy
46:20 we got that book from enkanomiya YEARS AGO! its called before sun and moon.
55:22 - Tsaritsa is a real word, it literaly means Queen in russian. The word Tsar means King. :3
omg get well soon! ☹️ and happy birthday to momnasyo!! 🎉 hope you guys having a very nice day today!!
44:26 I had the SAME misunderstanding lmao, I thought we got the unknown god's name at this quest. It took me until actually hearing Ronova's voice in Mavuika's trance to realize she's a different god
Yeah shed some tears watching this all over again. God this act was so so devastating. Every time the death toll and corrosion levels kept rising, it was just a huge punch in the gut. I just kept shedding tears seeing all the bodies and hearing paimon cry and slowly lose it. THE FAKE SKY FINALLY BEING SHOWN!?!?!?! WHEN I TELL MY JAW WAS TO THE FLOOR. Overall i cannot wait for Act V because i just wanna see how us and Mav will beat everything together. AMAZING VIDEO AS ALWAYSSSS
3:26 Kinich is definitely the classic quiet type … in fact, I don’t think you’ll hear a peep out of his character in the entire next patch!! 😅😂😂
this was by far the craziest archon quest so far
People wanted a nation of war, we got a nation of war. peak genshin once again and its not even act 5.
This archon quest was AMAZING😱😱 Can’t wait to see your commentary🙌🏼
The way he was taking his time doing the battle was stressing me tf out 😭😭😭
The music during the last fight is so fire. I have goosebumps to the end.
49:35 the A B C scholar:
"Aberewaa" means the mother god of the earth in the language of the Akan people in the Gulf of Guinea.
"Bosomtwe" is taken from the antelope god in Ghanaian mythology in West Africa.
"Cuxtal" may come from the word 'Kuxtal' meant "life" in the Yucatan language of the Maya civilization.
Also aren't they a reflection of the 3 A B C toys who were the tribe leaders in simulanka?
@@ishansharma2463It is very likely as that was based on real events iirc
TELL MOMNASYO WE ALL SAY THE BIGGEST HAPPY BIRTHDAY + WE HOPE SHE ENJOYS HER LEMON CAKE :D
There were two Tsaritsa's in history, i assume our genshin one will take the most from Katheryne the Great
I hope in the new area when we can visit the Feather Clan we can see Chuychu's grave.
Not me crying after seeing the saurians dead. I cried so much during this quest 😭
In the Version 5.0 livestream, they said that all of the Archon Quest Acts would be unlocked between Versions 5.0 and 5.3 so there's a pretty big chance that Act 5 will be in version 5.3 and that 5.2 will be new areas and new world quests. The fact that Mavuika didn't get drip marketing yet also supports this.
Thanks rednas, my waiting is worth it! the commentary is entertaining as always. U read everything for us, even mute voice, u didn't miss every texts and details
YAYYYYY PART 2 IS HERE!! I was waiting for this so badly (checked the channel everyday for updates)
44:27 no. You wanted to know about the heavenly principles, but the person who we saw at the start of the game, the "unknown god" is the sustainer of the heavenly principles. They're not the same person.
ok
happy birthday to your mom and thank you for the good content! hope you both enjoy this day
I was anticipating this all morning, can't wait to get cozy and watch!!❤
"Scenic route of doom and destruction" foul 😭😭😭
Thank you for the play through! Since i found your channel i always go through my archon quests simultaneously with you, bc i lose interest and desire to do them if i am alone. You make quests more interesting with your remarks and i love hearing your reactions to different events!
Natlan is by far the best area and archon quest and on top of that the music is amazing too.
Pretty hype the potential of the final act. The abyss order wouldn’t let the abyss be defeated, so time to confront our sibling again alongside the loom of fate. Dain in a main archon quest. Potentially the burning of Irminsul. They’re likely going to set up huge stakes heading into version 6 and the final nation of Teyvat
I'VE BEEN SO WAITING FOR THIS!! all I could think about after playing through the story is how hype your new vid is going to be! and it is! happy birthday to your mom also 🎉
Happy birthday to your mum :> and i hope your arm is okay!!
The story also reminded me a LOT of Avengers and people on TikTok making edits with avengers sounds didn't help either 😭
i feel so empty after finishing this quest bc it was SO good oml i‘m so excited to see you play it
as someone that is in PE at school unfortunatly i'll have to wait until it ends
List of NoRessus:
Wayta - 1:34:24 // 1:37:49
Vichama - Reunited with Mallko, finally
LOVE THE VIDEO I WAS WAITING FOR PART 2!! Also not so fun fact, your choices dueing the battle actually effect your death count and save some people at the risk of others for example if you choose to save the saurians then i think a group of people will die instead if you arent quick
46:22 "Have you heard of the concepts of the Light Realm and the Human Realm?" "NO?"
Guess someone had skipped through the entire Enkanomiya World Quest hahahaha.
But anyways, I never really left any comments in your playthrough videos so I suppose I am going to leave one now; thank you Rednas for always making these playthrough vids and make my days with your reactions! Keep up the good work and dont strain yourself with your schedule and everything!
well it was released nearly 3 years ago
During the last long flight on hot-air balloon (past the decimated Scions of Canopy) when Paimon says that she doesn’t think she can handle it anymore and Travel encourages her, the Traveler is actually voiced in other languages, its treated that serious
also this thumbnail is INCREDIBLE
traveler dont need an ancient name, they already got plot armor for protection XD
yaaay more archon quest to watch while im in bed rest. im recovering from tonsilitis but it seems the worst of the fever is done. thank you rednas ♡
I cannot stress enough on the fact how much I adore your reactions and playthroughs! Keep up the great great job!! 🤗
Edit- sorry for the bad english.
Rednas being so oblivious to the third wheeling Mauvika and the Captain was NOT on my 2024 bucket list 🤣🤣
Yes, Tsaritsa is a real word XD It means female monarch in Russian. Tsar is a male monarch. Just as King and Queen.
Such a shame more people don't watch this masterpiece of gameplay/commentary. I have seen most of the main channels reaction and neither put such an emphasis as Rednas does, like man I did not know there were like sidequests for little characters, like you saved the mom from one of the warriors and there are many more instances of people dying/being saved by tour decisions that only Rednas puts a focus to
i dont know if anyone else told you this, but the actions you take during the war affect your npc cutscenes and the death toll you get at the end. for me i didnt save the old mom doctor so at the stadium at 2:36:54 qhispe in my playthrough said she was struggling to save people and that she wished there was a more experienced doctor there, and i never met mayahuel in my playthrough
the average death toll ive seen is 2k, with a few people reaching 1.8k, and the max ive seen went up to 8k or 9k (someone had 99k but im not convinced thats not edited)
ive also been told that doing the optional quests and being fast in killing the monsters also affects your death toll but idk how true that is since everyone ive watched has done the optional quests up till now
FULL OF CONTENT, THANK YO, CAPTAIN REDNAS!!
5:55 This room is more than likely used for tribal council meetings between the pyro archon and all six tribes chiefs or representatives.
I haven't finished the video but Vichama died and the worse is, he can't reunite with Malcom coz his soul was destroy in the Night Kingdom. Also, if you picked at civilians and Fatui over the saurian place, you'd see a Fatui Cryo Gunner blocking an entrance with his dead body to protect the mother and daughter inside :"))) GREAT VIDEO AS WELL AA
WAKE UP BABE, REDNAS JUST UPLOADED!!
This guys dedication to perfectly editing hours long videos like this is absolutely insane
my theory is that next act is going to be us beating the abyss, and then our act 5 will involve the Heavenly Principles. Like we're going to save Mauvika somehow and because of that AND the false sky being revealed, the Heavenly Principles are going to do something but maybe that's just wishful thinking.
51:51 cause ayizu was the chief of masters of the night wind, and some people from that tribe can see/read the future/fate just like how citlali read ours in act 3, imo thats most likely how ayizu know about it
Never thought another Archon would beat act V Furina as my favourite archon, but Mavuika is really killing it. She's human but feels so much more like an Archon than the other nations, the way she reacts to crisis and her humanisation of how she rose to that position of Archon
2:09:43 now that you mention it, seriously where are the other nations 😭 surely they've heard about the situation of this war they should send back-up 😭 (unless fate said something like they shouldn't intervene with another nation's crisis 😩)
Who knows how strong Paimon might be, but it is quite the feat for her to have survived through all the events up until now right by our side.
The other nations might have lent their support but the abyss attack took relatively one day to beat and also the same amount of time to nearly overun and destroy Natlan. So because they polishe it up so fast its all good now, but should Mauvika fail, then even if word got out about then abyss invasion, I doubt there would be anything left to save. The abyss invasion was soo fast, real blitz krieg strategy on the abyss side.
LET'S GOOOOOOOOO i have the whole week free for this
edit: that was whew..... so exhaustive as acts 3 & 4, like yes same question, what the hell else are we gonna have to go through for act 5, no? anyway, excited for that then! thanks for the video!
i just finished watching you new hsr video and now im going to watch this one,,, thank you for the new content!!!
Babe, wake up,, new rednas video just dropped
Hey, Mr. Rednas! If you are really curious about the lore of the game (or even the lore that came up in this quest), you should read the book called ‘Before Sun and Moon’. We got it from a quest in Enkanomiya. It mentions everything from the shades to Istaroth to the 3 realms. In fact we learned about Neuvillette from a book from Enkanomiya, not sure it’s the same book. You will appreciate the quests even more after reading those books!
a video to accompany me finish my homework! thank you in advance, rednas! been waiting for this since last weekend www
If you look up in the sky after the archon quest, you can still see the fragments of the moon in the sky
this archon quest genuinely took me by surprise 😭😭 the amount of deaths
Happy Birthday to mom! 🎉♥️ I hope your elbow heals soon!!
32:50 that comment caught me so off-guard i choked on my water
2:06 Only way Hoyo could twist the knife even further here is to add the mother and child in as part of the dead civilians if the player arrives late.
Rednas saying "woooww! this is cooool!" when he's seeing the war map and gets to ride hot air balloon.. I was like um... good luck.
Imagine our abyss sibling pulls up in act V to test the partially complete/complete loom of fate.
from what I know, the Fatui often sound like robots and have bandages on their faces because they were experimented on by Dottore, who creates super-soldiers when testing things on people, often disfiguring them in the process
That was epic. Waiting to see the history on your channel worths every time.
Hooray Spicy Act 4!
And that thumbnail is absolutely beautiful 🌈
