The Toytanium mines is actually Inazuma. As the problems of the area is similar to Tatarasuna. The split island is similar to Musoujin Gorge. Wanderer also appears in this area with stories mirroring his even mini Durin’s wish
@@Ash-qd2ke it could be, but the fsct that the miners dug too much and caused the dragon's rage, is still too similar to Liyue, like the hidden town getting into the abyss is Khaenri'ah. Maybe they mixed the three nations in the broken sea, although the story of the Kingdom of Breezes and Bells does sound like Ei...
@@ShadowXImpact I think OP might be right on Inazuma. The overmining and inciting rage could be referencing overuse of crystal marrow and the Tatarigami, which you can consider to be Orobashi's "rage"
Here’s a thought, why can’t it be both? The video claims that Constellation Metropole represents both Mondstat and Fontaine, so it could be that the edge of the toytainium mines, near the cliff, is Liyue, while the floating islands in the distance represent Inazuma. It would also kinda fit with how Liyue Harbor and Inazuma are connected to each other by the sea, which in Simulanka is represented by a void of emptiness. The floating islands are also kinda reminiscent of Inazuma cuz of how the big mining island in the “sea” is kinda split in two because of a major attack, just like that one island with Orobashi’s corpse on it.
@@richboywinston5097 the thing is that the tatarigami is a natural occurrence caused by Orobashi's death, it's not exactly something the people did to enrage the remains of the dead god. But yeah, I'm starting to think that inazuma may also be represented in the broken sea, it wouldn't be too strange, considering how different nations have been mixed in Simulanka, though I still think the kingdom of Breezes and Bells also mirrors Inazuma
@@AnArtistInAVoid yeah, the broken sea can actually also represent Inazuma, I'm starting to feel like it makes sense, though I still believe the ancient princess in the kingdom of Breezes and Bells mirrors Ei, while the current one represents Mavuika
Yeah, this summer event feels like a goodbye to all the other summer events, I'm actually sad because seeing the beach makes me feel happy and calm, and this year's summer event took me to a pocket dimension without one :
@@jeoffreyauscia6841 yeah, next year, things might probably be very different. Although, differently from you, the mountains calm me down, so a summer event on Dragonspine, the perfect place to hint at Snezhnaya in the following update, is actually more in line with me XD And to think that I have the beach at like 10min by car, but it's too hot for me...
@@Diamond1234 yeah, it feels like they're saying that this is the last summer event in a special place... We'll see next year, I guess, but I think we're getting a summer vacation on Dragonspine, which is okay, people do go on the mountains in summer to escape the heat. I would definitely do that!
The ‘goodbye’ feeling is strongest when my character was teleported to the hidden room where items from the past summer islands were stored. By the way, I think the last patch for Natlan is 5.7.
I like how you mention that the origins of life could very well be from the abyss, the inquisitors say "everything will return" when you defeat them. It's quite possible teyvat itself was created by re-ordering the structure of the abyss. So whoever created it (before the primordial one arrived) all lives could have started as unfulfilled dreams of some previous destruction now just semi-existing in the morass that is the abyss. That way rhinedotter was just doing more of what had already happened but in a way that had innate errors. The abyss being toxic to both "light realm" and teyvat could just be the abyss reclaiming things to the chaos they were formed from. Teyvat itself could have been formed literally from the elemental (light) realm's energy and the abyss's "matter"
@@Necrochaosium I'm not really sure what you mean by whoever created Teyvat before the Primordial One. What we know is that there's the old world, which should be a real world, most likely an actual planet, and the the Primordial One created a microcosm (probably above), which is Teyvat, composed by the abyss in one hemisphere and the inhabitable Teyvat in the other. But I do agree, in some way, that what was the abyss, was reordered and turned into Teyvat, because the microcosm was flipped, so current Teyvat was rebuilt, using what was on the old world, in the hemisphere that, originally, was of the abyss, so the Primordial version of Teyvat created by the shades, ended up in the current abyss. As for the abyss being toxic, I could get behind your theory, it could be trying to get back to its intended hemisphere
@@ShadowXImpact When in eukanomiya quests there spells it out that the abyss is toxic to teyvat natives and entities of the realm of light (elementals, dragons?) cant remember if it's in a text or something enjou or the snake priestess says.
@@Necrochaosium yeah, I remember that, I made a whole video about it. Still, it's toxic because it's like a negative but essential force to run the other half of the world, the positive half. Even though the light realm is not inside of Teyvat, the abyss is still a negative force, so it's toxic to them. It's like a powerplant: it gives energy, but it's still radioactive to the people of the earth and to hypothetical aliens
@@GhostlyGhost333 yeah, we have a whole year to get ready to probably the darkest summer event of the game, with Durin's revival and Albedo facing his own life story... I just hope it doesn't become the saddest quest, too...
@@loredanarosimodesti4799 oh trust me, I also forgot a lot and I'm forced to re-watch tons of stuff. This video originally had a whole chapter on how 2.8 hinted at the entire Sumeru quest, and I basically rewatched the entire summer event because I didn't remember much. Same for the Veluryiam mirage, and it's been just a year... But I'm glad I was of help!!! XD
Maybe you're right about this being the last summer event. Maybe next summer, something serious will come out instead of a chill kinda teasing the next nation event
@@celestia.. I think it's going to be Durin's revival I nice summer vacation on a snowy mountain, so dragonspine, which is the best place to give us hints about Snezhnaya, being an equally icy cold nation
What about...simulanka is a time-lapse of Khaenri'ahn history. The forest was what it has been prior to building a kingdom, then the city, and then the cataclysm.
@@johnb1145 i don't really think so. I mean, the fading disorder that affected the people and the land is too similar to Eleazar and the Withering. Plus, Khaenri'ah is an underground nation, while the forest is on the surface
Wow. You made me think of something! What if the reason we don't see the pyro traveler in the teaser is because this time our elemental power will come directly from the gnosis. So we won't unlock it until version 5.2-5.3. Something like the statue's power is sealed because the gnosis must first find its worthy owner
@@angelmarquez8470 many people have been thinking this, but I don't think it's going to happen. I think we will spent most of 5.0 raising Lil Buddy until he recognizes us, which will then unlock the Pyro element. The statues are connected to the dragons' authorities in Celestia, and the Saurians are segments of the fire dragon, so we probably just need to be recognized by them to be able to wield the power. I mean, people would throw a tantrum (as always) if they didn't get the Pyro traveler in 5.0... These tantrums are like chains to the writers at this point. We are limiting their fantasy and writing....
Dude. we arent made we wont get Puro traveller in 5.0 Spoilers Leaks show there is NO Pyro traveller Kit found. Meaning there is no Pyro traveller in 5.0 @@ShadowXImpact
@@ShadowXImpact Eh, it could be that way, but Star Rail made it happen in the most plot appropriate point. Tbh I'm not really immersed in the community (not at all really), so I have no idea if there was backlash, but I never saw anything. Although since Genshin did set precedence of the new Traveler elements coming out in X.0, I can imagine many tantrums, just like you said.
@@nicograms just remember that people online like to complain, and you can safely assume how many times people rebelled against the game... Anyway, in less than 10 days, they will tell us about the Pyro traveler. The livestream is 1.45h long it seems, so they have a lot to explain. But, as you said, I'm sure people would rage if they didn't get the Pyro traveler in 5.0, even though we're not the writers nor the devs, so I honestly can't understand why people feel entitled to pretend something in the first place...
Amazing video! You cooked up another great theory, the whole thing about Natlantean citizens no longer caring about the tournament makes so much sense. The whole reveal of Durin made me excited for Monstadt again. I wonder if we ever meet another of Rheindottirs creatures in Natlan, and if it will be as big as Durin and Elynas. Time passes so fast (for me atleast) it's crazy that we're gonna visit Natlan in a few weeks. I swear Fontaine released 2 months ago for me 😂
@@Schnubi thank you, I'm happy you liked it!!!! Yeah, they threw mondstadt back into the ring (pun intended), which is very nice, it's like going back to our origins! As for Natlan, we do see some huge carcass in the very first video, but since it's the land of dragons, it could be anything, not necessarily another one of Durin's siblings. We'll see, I guess! Trust me, I feel like Sumeru was just released, not just Fontaine. Time is flying very fast!!!!
11:37 wouldn’t be surprised if that was true cus there’s a book in Fontaine talking about Ajax/Tartaglia being a primordial person and he is apart of the abyss
@@ShadowXImpact it’s in a layer of the Institute of Natural Philosophy underground in the Narzissenkreuz Ordo, you go inside the book then walk straight to a table where the interactable notes will be to the office place. The Notes talk about Ajax’s Origins
This event hints at the past of the three moon sisters. The forest world quest hints at the fact that Tevyat is stuck in a time loop. The Metropole world quest indicates that the truth of the history doesn't matter, only what we do next. Whereas the toytanium mines actually depicts the origin of the three moon sisters. Did they create the fake sky and the moon to guide lost humans to Tevyat? Getting transformed into flower when you go on a venture heavily indicates that humans are choosing to turn into hilichurls or something? I got the creeps when I saw them goddesses hang the lamp in the sky.
@@RKNancy it's constellation Metropole that is stuck in a loop, though. Still, about the moons, we keep calling them the moon sisters, but that's what a novel tells us, it's not a recount of real events, so for all we know, the moons can simply be moons, objects created for a purpose, not necessarily living beings. I mean, the moons died, but one of the dead ones is in the sky, while the other is in Khaenri'ah. The "living" one is in the abyss. More than "died", I think we should say that they lost their purpose, their utility maybe, but we say that they died because it's more convenient and easier to understand. As for the people, I don't think anyone is willingly turning into a hilichurl really. Even the ventures, not all of them decided to transform, it's just that one guy that decided to. When then moon was created, honestly, I had the opposite feeling, I was happy to see it!
@@TheAngelChaz well, I actually came to a conclusion after I uploaded the video, which is basically still what I already said, but better. 5.8 will. Probably still be a summer event, but a different one completely. The next nation is Snezhnaya, an icy cold place, so what would be the best place for a summer event that hints at this new nation? Dragonspine, a summer event on the mountains. I mean, people do go to the mountain in summer, it's not just the beach. So 5.8 will also see Durin's revival, probably
@@kemiya1750 I have no idea, to be honest. That quest made no sense... Unless they're saying that the culprit is the first person we've ever met, so Venti....
@@listvg oh yeah, Paimon is the first person we met, I didn't think about that... As for Deshret, I've actually always thought he's alive, I think I said it in a video, because his seat is the only one that blossoms, as if to say that he still lives, while the other two seats don't, because they're dead. Plus, it's Nabu Malikata's "Mausoleum", so to speak, so it would have made more sense if her seat bloomed, as if to say "this is for you", instead is Deshret's. I would really love to meet him and hear what he has to say about a few, important things I need confirmation to...
For the part of Goddess that creates teyvat, Venti said something interesting in the manga : "Pangu gave his Blood to form the rivers and seas, The Gods sacrificed Purusha and cut his body to pieces, and then fashioned all living beings with those parts. The brain of the giant Ymir became clouds, their sacrifices seeded life in the unending cosmos, thses songs sing of the Primeval Ones." It's ofc, a poetic song, but something might be hinted about the creation of Teyvat.
@@Scatterblades yeah, it sounds like the Primordial One creating the shades, who then created the world and the living beings, but in an extremely poetic fashion. What this has always made me think about, is how Venti knows about the Primordial One, an entity current Teyvat isn't supposed to know, but then again, Venti is easily the sussiest of them all
Oh, you recalling that makes me think that my theory could be somewhat true! Going by mexica mythology influence in Natlan, there is a passage about the creation of the world (I don't remember the exact cycle, but could be the 5th) where Quetzalcóatl with his brother Tezcatlipoca killed the monster deity Cipactli/Tlaltecuhtli who lived in the primordial waters, using it's body to form the earth and the sky; as a way to honor it's death and pain, the primordial god and goddess made from it's eyes the rivers flow and from her corpse flowers and plants to grow.
NOTE: the Toy Gard named " Alof " in the Summer event combat event near Consolation Metrpole he actually tell a story about Owls and tropes he could highly possible refiring to Natlan story :O not sure tho
@@plotaqiqi6545 I do need to check this guy up, I don't remember any talk about owls, so I must have missed him. Although, usually mesoamerican cultures are all about hummingbirds rather than owls, at least from what I understood so far. Anyway, I'll check the guy, thanks for the tip!
@@AlexisNess-mn4zw I understand Ajax and Childe because they both fought a monster in the depth of the sea, but what about Parsifal? Yes, he fought a sea monster, but how is he connected to the name Ajax? Did I miss something?
@@ShadowXImpact Parsifal looks just like Childe in the hearth of depth TCG card In the opera Parsifal, he uses bow and a spear One variant of Parsifals name in that opera Peredur also means spear Childe in CN is a young man of noble birth, which was Parsifal as well Childe signature dish is a sea monster kraken and as you have already pointed out Parsifal fought one There is more to it but i dont want to overwhelm you
@@AlexisNess-mn4zw but didn't Ajax use a spear, reason why his story is the description of one? I mean, I could understand the resemblance with the image, but even Beidou fought a sea monster, but she doesn't share their fate... I don't know what to think of it, to be honest
@@ShadowXImpact Ajax did but Parsifal and Childe both use a bow and a spear ``but even Beidou fought a sea monster, but she doesn't share their fate..`` Beidou doesnt look identical to Childe in the tcg card
@@AlexisNess-mn4zw "Beidou doesn't look like identical to Childe in the tcg card" you don't say???

Leaks (If you want them) - - - - - - - - - - 5.0 = Children Of Echoes (geo tribe), Scissors Of the canopy (dendro tribe), People Of the springs (hydro tribe) 5.1 = Flower Feather Clan (Anemo tribe), Collective of Plenty (Electro Tribe) 5.2 = Masters of the Night Wind (Volcano - Pyro Tribe) Which means there is no Cyro tribe. Traveller will "steal" Pyro Gnosis from pyro tribe and get his pyro powers. What he does with it after he gains his powers is unknown. There is also leaks of "Fertile Lands" and "Mountain Peaks" as well in Natlan nation.
@@PsychoTomYTofficial I mean.... I think we just have to accept it at this point... I hate it too, because it can lead to a ton of different endings, among which my most hated kind of endings, that the people will entirely forget about the traveler when they wake up...
@@Gardelux it's not just one dialogue that hints at Teyvat being a sort of dreamscape reality, something like Penacony. I think the first ever hint was the Shogun's trailer "waking world you seem woven from the stuff of dreams. All shall fade away". From then on, there have been tons of hints everywhere. Maybe I should just make a video about Teyvat being a dreamscape and look for all of them... It would take a very long time though, considering I would have to read the dialogues of every single quest so far, every book, every note, EVERYTHING!
@@Gardelux the part were in kirara's story quest when we solving questions from mysterious person this mysterious person asks 6 questions i think 🤔 and we select each dialogues and one of the dialogues tells it.
When I discovered that study with the call backs to the previous summer events, I got all giddy. Like you I wasn't hear for the first Summer event (I started playing the game during 2.1). I enjoy videos like these btw, they help me find things I may have missed. As exciting as it would be to have the real Durin back, Hoyo is going to have to do a great job of explaining HOW that would work gameplay wise. Durin's Heart and body are physical parts of Dragonspine. So I have a hard time seeing an actual physical change to that location. Hmmmm, then again there have been World Quests when locations physically change in the course of playing them. We'll just have to wait and see.
@@Zodia195 yeah, that room was really nice. It gives you that feeling of being part of this game, because you remember those objects, they have a story that you witnessed, you were there basically XD Yeah, I make videos also for this reason. People usually don't re-watch entire quests, read three or four times the dialogues, explore every crack in the wall, but it's something I like to do, so it's nice when this becomes something useful for others! So, yeah, there is a chance that dragonspine will change like Deshret's Mausoleum, the tower of Ipsissimus or, even better, the girdle of the sands that became a completely different place, but there's also a chance that nothing drastic may happen on Dragonspine. Durin's heart is gaining vitality, not his body. Unlike Elynas, Durin is all bones, there's no actually body that can revitalize so the heart may simply create a new body for the dragon, leaving everything as it is, except for the cave where the heart is, because it would disappear from there. But still, I do think they'll change Dragonspine, it's something they're clearly capable of. We'll see what they decide, probably in 5.8! XD
OMG! So I'm NOT the only one who couldn't experience the story of GAA 1 back at 1.6 because the map had already updated to post story when I started playing Genshin again(and I played it on the third day of the event)! Everyone was calling me crazy and delusional for that! I'm glad to know I'm NOT the only one who was unfortunate enough to miss that event!
@@ChromaLuke youtube didn't send me a notification, that's why I'm replying after 2 days, but yeah, you're not the only one. I started playing when I heard Lilypichu voiceacted a character in the game, so I downloaded it out of curiosity, but at that point, it was too late for the event!
15:00 Wasn't the third shade revealed in Fontaine's Wings of Merciful, Wrathful Waters as the Shade of Life? "When that first heart was removed, the envoy of Celestia, the leader upon whose shoulders lay the duty to create life, came to the great primeval sea, and there she created another heart." It's heavily implied that this envoy is a Shade who took over the role of the former dragon and helped create the first Hydro Archon Egeria, who ended up weeping and committing the sin of human creation. I think it's pretty likely that the Shade would be this third representation since she seems closely tied to the wishes of living creatures, given how the Shade's creation Egeria wanted more for the Oceanids.
@@heyzilla2479 no, the way I see it, it's probably susty at this point, the shade who created life according to Simulanka, who created Egeria so that she (Egeria, not the shade) would be an artificial dragon to take over the Primordial Sea and make it work, because it seems it's useless without a water dragon. Then, when Egeria committed her sin, Celestia (so she shade of Fate) went to Fontaine (because it used to be above dragonspine) and cursed the people of Fontaine because they deviated from the paths she wrote for them
@@Pre4xes_ and yet, it doesn't seem like it, especially when we know nothing about her, apart from the fact that she looks like Kiana, who is the Herrscher of Void. Different game with similar characters, not same ones
You mentioned that capitano is a shadow, but I don't think that's true. In the teaser for natlan you can see the outline of his face (nose) and mika mentioned in his character story 4 that capitano has eerily dark blue eyes. I saw on reddit a random comment that said it would be cool of he was Kevin Kaslana from honkai 3. He also has blue eyes and in Aethers and Lumines character card we see the K. k. inital (could also stand for Kallen)
@@leafrek yeah, I know, that's what I meant by a shadow. I enhanced the image of his profile and talked about his blue eyes in my previous Natlan video. He is completely pitch black, like a shadow
I hope his face is never shown at all. Alsoo I haven't gonw through the whole video yet but I wonder if the champion frog who lost his confidence is mirroring Capiano "not being brave enough to compete" in the ignition teaser
Wow I never noticed the fact that the lands are the nations. Like the fact that there is one called Kingdom of Breezes and Bells did kinda remind me of Mond but all summer events lead to Mond somehow so I do like the theory about the gnosis cuz yeah, if they get the gnosis, traveler would just go to Snezhnaya. Also I have a question that is sorta related to the summer event, and that is the fact that apparently Childe does not show up in the IT lobby if you have finished act 4 of Fontaine and I was wondering if it’s related to his fate as Ajax since he is named after him and is technically fighting his constellation during act 4
@@BlueDaisy33 yeah, Simulanka representing the nations was what hit me pretty instantly when I heard about the Fading Disorder, but also Paimon basically says that Constellation Metropole looks like Fontaine. And abiut the gnosis, I mean, the Fatui can't win all the time, it's our turn for once! XD As for Childe, I don't think I understood the question. What's the IT Lobby? Still, I don't think he's going to die like Ajax from mythology. Yes, he fought the Narwhal, which is also his constellation, but they are not the same thing, he didn't destroy his own stars, so he's just recuperating after the absurd fight

I think Faurobert and Caribert having the same name suffix could be significant, considering the "cave of eerie murmurs" could be metaphorical for the abyss, which we should be going into during the Natlan archon questline
I was specifically pondering if the champion and princess whole line of quests is actually a hint to Natlan's AQ or not since the devs specifically asked our opinion about them in the survey and it felt very much so, for it talks about nations fallen and risen and seem to feature some beings encapsulated within dark cave. The point about Mavuika goading Capitano so the two of them be recognized as champion and fully walked on their own path or fate is really interesting as it somewhat may mirror Cimest and Faurobert. Capitano leaving the Fatui would definitely be an interesting twist and I could really see that happening as a way for us to wait for 8 more patches before reaching Snezhnaya XD All in all, thank you for sharing your thoughts! I enjoyed watching the video a lot.
@@Aozora210 thank you, I'm happy you liked it!!! It won't be long now, we're finally about to know what's going to happen in Natlan! I hope I got at least something right XD
I did also sorta get the feeling that this might be the final Summer event. I’ve had thoughts related to the events version 5.0 onwards for a while now, but since Natlan’s so close those thoughts have been going into overdrive. Like what’s gonna happen after the Archon Quest of Natlan is over? What fills that gap between Natlan and Snezhnaya in the schedule? Will we get Mont Esus before 6.0? Would it be appropriate to return to other regions after Snezhnaya has already begun (meaning after Snezhnaya’s Archon Quest but before any Khaenri’ah or Celestia stuff). Will Snezhnaya’s Archon Quest be 6 or more acts long to fill the time? What even IS 7.0? I’ve had and lots of questions for a while now and they only increase with each version. I think there’s a very strong possibility that Fontaine was the last “normal” region release, and from here on out the story and content will increasingly be related to the end the finale. This could also entail not having a Summer event next year, or at least having a very different kind of Summer event. It also makes me wonder what Lantern Rite will be like in the next couple of years. Natlan will probably still have enough normalcy for a Lantern Rite to not feel too out of place, but Snezhnaya’s Lantern Rite seems like it would take place AFTER the Archon Quest based on the way the schedule usually works out, even if Snezhnaya has like 7 acts. That feels extremely odd to me. I honestly wouldn’t be too shrouded if Snezhnaya’s story went the Honkai Impact 3rd route and took place over many more versions that were used to in Genshin, going all the way up to the mid-to-late 6.X versions. A more recent thought I’ve had is related to the Traveler’s lack of Pyro in that teaser. The Traveler appears to be Pyro in the manga (and in their character icon). Since they’re speaking to Venti about Vennessa in the manga, maybe that was a glimpse of Carmen Dei Chapter Act 2 or some other Venti-related story from 5.X all along? It wouldn’t be the first time they played the long game teasing a future in-game event with a manga scene (Honkai moment).
@@izusmallmight8953 thank you!! I'm happy you liked the video!! As for that quest... What even was that? How did that make sense with Simulanka? Still, it feels like they tried, in an awful way, to tell us that the first person we met is actually the culprit, so we just need to decide whether it's Paimon, so the first character we saw as we started playing the game, Venti, the first playable character we met when we started playing the game, or maybe Susty, the first character we saw as we opened the game for the first time entirely... I was honestly so confused by that quest....
@@izusmallmight8953 it's not like Venti and Paimon seem sus, they definitely are!!! XD I do hope they won't go for that kind of twist in the story, it would be sad, I agree. If it's Susty, instead, then it could be that my theory that the shades are not the actually the good guys, is right. I hope Natlan will tell us more about them. They hinted at Celestia in Simulanka, so that could mean that it's finally time to learn more about it
One interesting idea I've heard is that the empty area that came out along side Petrichor might be empty because its going to change at some point, since theres no point in placing chests or challenges in a spot that might change in the future. Of course if the reason for its change is Durin then I would imagine that Dragonspine would change, so either Hoyo will just move things around, or Durin will create a new body somehow, or we'll get a different map changing event for that empty spot. It would be pretty sad if this is the last summer event but it would make sense. By the end of Natlan the Tsaritsa will have all the gnosis, project Stuzha might be enacted and we still have Harbingers to get through. I don't think they'll shelve all fun events like lantern rite and maybe windblume, but they might start firing things up in the middle or near the end of the Natlan patch to get us ready for 6.0. But that's just what I think, I hope they give the Fatui plotline a lot of breathing room.
@@krys9463 so, the area around Petrichor is empty because Remuria used to be part of the elevated island, but broke off and sank to the bottom of the sea. That being said, I would love if they added something, because that emptiness is just disarming... As for Durin, I think there are just two options: either his entire body comes back to life, so the area will change entirely, which isn't that bad of a choice to be honest, or his heart will create a new body, so nothing will change in the area apart from the cave where the heart is. Although I said that this may have been the last summer event, I meant it as the last summer event in a place Alice own, in a domain of some sorts. 5.8 could be a summer event on the mountains, so on Dragonspine, which is the perfect place to hint at Snezhnaya, being frozen. I for one prefer the mountains in summer rather than the beach, because I can't handle the heat, so summer doesn't necessarily mean the sea. By the way, if the Tsaritsa got the Pyro gnosis, that would happen in 5.3, not at the end of Natlan, not even halfway through version 5, so it wouldn't make sense, as I said in the video, staying in Natlan for 5 more updates while perfectly knowing that the Tsaritsa has everything she needs for her plan. That's why I think we will keep the gnosis this time. They will definitely not shelve the usual yearly events, that would be a very bad choice, but I do agree that things and lore will start escalating like never before, especially because we are heading toward the end of the game, and they have a lot to explain still, both for 6.0 and for 7.0 in Khaenri'ah, and who knows, maybe a 8.0?
Coming late since I did not want to spoil myself on the summer event until I'm done here. Thanks for it, I loved it as always! I think your predictions are way too bold for most of them to come true but we'll see about that. It's fun to imagine.
@@kasuha I'm happy you liked it!! Still, it's a theory, if I knew what was gonna happen for sure, it wouldn't have been, but I have to say, some of my bold claims in the past about the Archon quests, with way less info, turned out to be right, so now we just have to wait an see!
That was amazing as always honestly!! I actually have not many things to say cause I agree with almost everything in this video!@@ShadowXImpact I also want to point out that Neuvillette basically confirmed that Names are very important and holds fate. Thats why he doesnt disclose his own. And Simulanka really reaffirms that. Now the implications for people like Fischl, Ajax Raiden, Albedo and Prime Albedo are crazy. I wonder what hoyo has in store for us.
@@Sacration oh this nation is going to be way crazier than we all expected, and I can't wait for it! As for Neuvillette, I'm still waiting for them to tell us... I hope it's in his second story quest, I kinda want to confirm if he's Charybdis....
Imagine if you arrive at the simulanka from the beginning But you meet almond from the first place Then, from the teyvat from the very beginning You arrive at mondstadt and you meet amber from the very beginning. Then, you arrive the forest of blessing which is the first you travel in simulanka and they have the tavern Mondstad have a tavern, and it was there trending recommendation for that.
Thanks for the video! This is just a hot take/wild guess, but what if you are right in us not having another summer event because we will instead have a winter event, perhaps in dragonspine or something of that sort? It would have to be in 5.3 or something like that, rather than 5.8. Just a wild speculation.
@@levshifrin2216 I'm happy you liked it!!! I mean, people do go to the mountains on vacation in summer, I actually prefer the mountains to the see (even though it's like 10min away from my house) because I can't bear the summer heat. Plus, now that I think about it, 5.8 would be the summer event before Snezhnaya, so a frozen mountain would be the perfect setting to hint at the new, icy cold nation
I think the three lands are represented by all the nations that had a summer event before them, inazuma, sumeru, and fontaine. All the characters from these regions, Navia, Scara and Nilou match that description. It also makes sense why Lyiue and Mondstadt are not there bc they were at the start of the game and didn't have a summer event preceding them. In that manner there is a pattern and it makes your bad omen of this summer event being an ode or a goodbye to all the summer events prior even more accurate. But it could also be that all the nations are represented somehow, I don't see such strong representation in Lyiue and Monsdadt mainly bc there are no characters from these regions in the story, and the chasm representing entire Lyiue feels weird to me, while all the regions in the event had correlations in the story to their nations, like in fontaine "not real people" or in sumeru - withering zones. Tho maybe ther are represented by the smaller quests, as we have main 3 quests and 2 smaller ones which would correspond to 5 nations in total. Whatever's the case this is def ending some sort of chapter, its like a framing device. This and the rumors about war coming from Ei and all the stuff in Natlan makes me soooo excited for lore coming :3
I have a similar theory about natlan main difference being that xbalanque stole the power from pyro sovereign which was the primal fire but xbalanque couldn't withstand the fire or may also have been injured so he died some time later then mavuika took the mantle and decided to resurrect him? Or maybe she might resurrect the sovereign?since simulanka hints towards the resurrection of durin which also had the body of a dragon well this is my theory for now let's see
@@osmial but isn't Xbalanque "entombed" with primal fire? That sounds like he's been sealed with it, rather than being dead. Unless it's the name of the original pyro Archon... In that case, "he" would be a woman in reality as well, but it would mix your an my theory together
@@osmial and there's also the fact that Xbalanque hinted at the revival of a dragon as something dangerous. He meant the water dragon, but Neuvillette turned out to be a good guy, but probably Xbalanque speaks from experience, so because of the fire dragon, which also fits with Natlan being ok with the Saurians, but not with ancient dragons, probably out of fear of whatever happened in the past, happening again if their dragon were to be resurrected
@@ShadowXImpact yeah he is "entombed" with primal fire is mainly why i think he or someone else may have stole it but if someone else did then xbalanque may have defeated that guy then took the power and tried his best that sovereign is not revived again since as you said the dragon may have done some big number on people And considering your theory 3 types of story of dragons azdaha got sealed neuvillette got his power seized and was mainly mistaken for a bad guy but one thing is certain that humans did a number on both dragons azdaha directly got harmed through leylines while neuvillette faced discrimination So i think it would be a mix for pyro sovereign humans in the past that did something to him or his people he got angry and because he may have turned some humans into ashes he became a bad guy for humans and gods alike then being defeated or killed i think it is highly likely that the volcano stores his heart or body since primal fire right now blessed xbalanque
Also xbalanque speaking like that for dragons might be because how much discrimination and false allegations they have faced and he knows the truth of the world if simulanka is anything to go buy i think the primordial one is actually not in teyvat now same goes for phanes whenever we might go to the land above maybe we just see the figures of past talking about the fate fo traveler and we meet a lone god challenging us like how it went similarly for aponia
I've watched almost the entire video, but at this point I have so much to say so, I'm gonna leave my first thoughts. Don't think it will be a short comment cus' the video is long (which I love) and contains crazy details. First of all, that's exactly why I said this event has HUGE lore references, literally in the first dialogue they drop moons and witches lore. Many people thought that this event was a chill one, but man... it was dense 😵 (in a good way of course) I'm totally agree with that feeling, it really seems like something huge is about to happen with the summer events, and doesn't looks good. I LOVED the power of name's theory, never thought about it, and really makes sense. Specially because I have a little crazy theory that the siblings are close related with phanes. THIRD, As we talked before, we have different POV's about Phanes and it shades, I'm still think that they're 5 beings: SUN (Phanes), 3 MOONS (three goddess) and the DARK SUN (a shade who keeps or rules the entrance to temptation, the abyss). Mainly because shades are "SHINNING shades", moons doesn't bright with their own light sooo, it must be a principal, the SUN. I'm just sharing my pov, of course your theory is totally feasible, I do because it's so fun to share and talk this kind of things. 💕 4. (I'm sorry hahaha) I saw the last part of the map as literally Teyvat's edge (excluding the 3 goddesses floating island), the mission title was suspicious to me ("until the end of the world"), this isn't the only argument but, speaking of Teyvat's edges, I think that the continent is surrounded entirely by the DARK SEA, this should be the perfect excuse to explain why no one knows that Teyvat is flat. 5. (last one, sorry again 😂) Love how you mention north Fontaine because, as we talked weeks ago, there is a huge part of the story that hasn't been told yet, my theory is still the same, North Fontaine will be Mt. Esus and Aremori's ruins (and probably Arcadia), here we'll find the truth about Egeria, Erinias and the goddess of creation. Now I'm gonna watch the last part of the video hahaha
@@strivyus you clearly didn't check the other comments if you think this one is long XD I don't know who could have ever thought this event to be chill! It was a lore bomb of absurd magnitudes! The name theory is just getting more and more real by the second! As for the shades, you basically inadvertently confirmed what I say. Before sun and moon says thelat the Primordial One created 4 shades, and if they're shining, that only means that the Primordial One is their "sun" Yeah, the last map looked like the end of the world Lumine told us, but I didn't really have enough to go for it, so I didn't talk about it. Maybe one day I'll make a video about the flat Teyvat theory, even though I've already talked about it in other videos. As for the dark sea, I simply think it's a domain, where the golden apple Archipelago are. I mean, we can't see Celestia and we've always got there through strange means, never with a regular expedition by sea... Yeah, north Fontaine will be about Egeria and Erinnyes for sure, even though we know exactly where Egeria is right now. I hope it's Furina's second story quest, maybe she will want to know Focalors's origins better, which will have to lead her to Egeria, since she chose her directly. Enjoy the rest of the video!
@@ShadowXImpact I mean yeah.. we got like a few as rewards like the figurine stand (no one will use).. I'm just comparing to last year. There were green chests all over the place. And the music is the second and third zones was so nice it's a shame to never hear it again.
@@motemo8413 yes, I know, I talked about it in my ignition analysis. This doesn't change the fact that he is still a shadow, he's pitch black, so he's definitely not a regular person, which still makes me think that he is dead. Just because he has a shape, doesn't mean that he's still alive...
@@MrsFoolforlove thank you!!! I really don't think anyone is capable of using the traveler's name, there's no fate for that name, so it probably doesn't exist at all. On the other hand, and if I'm right, then if someone were to say the real traveler's name, then that person is probably unbound by fate in some way. Now that I think about it, maybe Neuvillette has some chance at knowing and saying his name...
@@MrsFoolforlove I guess we just need to wait for Dainsleif's next quest in almost a year and hope that Lumine appears again. Then, maybe, they'll bring this up again and we'll get our answers XD
The thing is if the teyvat is a dreamspace then wanderer would be the one to awaken the people of teyvat The readon is evety other person in the first 3 parts have rolls that is reflected in teyvat navia is the king and she is the boss of spina kirara is the puss in boots she is a nekomata which is similiar to a cat nilou is harder to know but i think its because shes a hydro vision vielder hydro is water and without water thete isnt life but the odd one out is wanderer he is the hero in simulanka but a vilian in teyvat simulanja is reflected to teyvat so it would make sense for wanderer to be the one to wake up everyone in 1.1 event he is the first to learn in teyvat that the sky's of teyvat is fake and if he does that he would be the "hero of teyvat" i mean it was revealed in as back as 1.1 event.
@@OmerIleli-ve3zj or, simply, just as the four character that ended up in Simulanka represent something that also exists in Teyvat, Wanderer represents the traveler, the hero of the world, the one that can change fate because he's a descender. By the way, Scaramouche is not the first one to learn about the fake sky, the people of Tsurumi Island knew it before the Envoy Age, so before they came out of their underground cave and went to the surface. They literally wrote it on one of the murals, I made a video about it almost at the beginning of this channel
I have a theory. Mavuika will be, gameplay wise, the equivalent of a pyro archon (like furina is for hydro). But I think this time the gnosis will go to the traveler. First, this will finally make him a meta character. Second, it will break the usual stale trend of "gnosis goes to fatui". Third, and most importantly: the pyro gnosis is the last one the tsaritsa needs. The moment she gets it, she won. The only thing that can keep things on the edge until we visit sneznaya is if the traveler has the gnogis. This would also allow a stand off between her and the traveler since pyro can counter cryo.
@@xanderx3788 yeah, the gnosis theory is the same as mine, I did say it in the last chapter of the video, but I don't think Mauvika is going to lose her archonhood like Furina, that would be a repetition. An Archon can still be an Archon even without their gnosis, like Venti, Zhongli, Ei and Nahida, so Mavuika doesn't really need to give up on her position. That being said, I still think she's not an Archon yet, and we're going to finally witness the making of one, the last occurrence we haven't witnessed yet
@@Josh-qt5zi so? She still lost her archonhood in the end, her divinity entirely actually, while in Natlan, Mavuika most likely hasn't become an Archon yet, she's just a God of Fire, and we will see her ascension, probably in 5.2
It's time to give my controversial take. I think the toy people are hillichurls in the normal world. That is people that forgot who they are because of some sin they did in the past. Xianyun explains that Yuandai would have turned and I quote "monstrous being with no recollection of herself" The toy people all mine which is something Hillichurls are doing in the real world. Why they are doing this is most likely explained at the very end of the game, but it has to do with finding Jade. The lighthouse quest obviously is an allegory for traveling to Celestia and coming back doubting the human form. The lightkeeper instead thinks he needs to be a plant to have a purpose, this is very close to what Melusines experience with their token and there is some form of connection. The Melusine's basically become a form of Oceanid and some of the peoples ambitions are impregnated into their soul. Something similar happened to the Hillichurls Finally Durin' being tied to Scara is very interesting since Scara technically was reborn, which is something that is likely to happen to Durin. What that basically means is that Scara could have the same connection to Durin like Childe has to the Narwhal. If I am correct special beasts guard the constellations in the firmament basically ensuring that fate stays the same. Nicole mentions that fate is almost impossible to change in Theyvat, but that a god could stand a chance it could mean that Scaramouche journey has just begun. This means that Scaras destiny mirrors Durin's and that he might have the final key to release Rhinedottir who most likely is inside the heart of naberius which explains why Albedo has devoted his life to research Dragonspine since Rhinedottir technically is his mother
@@alexanderericson8628 I do agree that the hilichurls are people who forgot, or better yet, were deprived of their memories (which is Teyvat are basically people's souls), so they turned into monsters, but I don't see the connection with the toy people. The hilichurls dig the ground, they don't really mine, they're just looking for something, and usually there's a chest where they're digging, so it could just be that they feel something's underground and they want to get it. I don't understand what you mean by traveling to Celestia and doubting the human form. The venturers didn't go to the whispering isle, they went to other worlds entirely, and that changed them. One of these venturers (not the lightkeeper) decided to become a flower to have a purpose, and again, I don't understand the connection you made with the Melusine becoming a form of Oceanid. I think the connection between Scaramouche and Durin is way simpler. Scaramouche was given a second (well third actually) chance at life and he decided to repent for his actions, which is why he's going to be important to Durin: he's coming back to life (a third chance as well) and Scaramouche will be his guide toward redemption. As for monsters guarding the constellations, I have my doubts. The narwhal didn't guard any constellation. Childe's constellation is a narwhal simply because the narwhal is connected to his fate. As for Rhinedottir, why would she be imprisoned in the heart of Naberius?? She went all over Teyvat with Albedo to look for it, and when she found it, she took it, told Albedo to find the truth about the world and left. She's not in any kind of prison, definitely not inside the heart. Albedo is researching simply because Rhinedottir told him to, because she's technically his mother.
@@ShadowXImpact I try to explain. The melusines are a creation of the explosion inside Elynas were mechanical gear from the ocean which was impregnated with the wishes of other peoples dreams so the Melusines inherit the dissolved peoples dreams. This is my best guess. As for the toy people no I do not think the Hillichurls are mining for random treasures they are looking for something more specific. They never stop and they look obsessed it's much closer to the miners in Zhonglis story quest. The Narwhal jumps through Childes constellation which is the reason why it breaks in the firmament. Now you could say that is an accident but that seems very unlikely. One route they can take is that Childe eventually becomes the Narhwal so it's himself pleading for help that he hears inside the abyss this theory is bolstered by the man we meet inside the Narhwal that has clear resemblances with Childe himself. If they go that route which I believe they can. Scaras connection with Durin could be something similar since Scara is the person that first discovers at least that we meet in game that the sky is fake. It therefore makes sense that he also is able to get rid of his constellation fate. Once that happens both Childe and Scara are able to make their own choices there is nothing in game that can prove that Scara made any choice thus far. It could be that Hoyo means that jumping into Irminsul was Scara's own choice but that is not confirmed it can just as easily be fate.
@@ShadowXImpact Well I do think Rhinedottir is imprisoned because of the simple reason that we haven't seen or heard that she's been anywhere. She revived Elynas yes but that was thousand of years ago no evidence that she is alive today yet. Alice only appears in the form of an object this could suggest that she too is imprisoned. In the Hexenzirkel teaser we see that they liked to appear as objects, one was a candle, and Alice appeared as a lamp. Why thou was never explained but if they felt the need to do that while they were meeting each other well something is off with that. The only hexenzirkel member besides Alice is N who actually spoken to us and she has an ability to speak in peoples minds probably from very far away. All of this suggests that they are either imprisoned or unable to change form. This remind me of the crane that forgot how to transform back into a human.
@@alexanderericson8628 you do remember that Klee (and Jean and, I think, Albedo) told us Alice left with her husband for a mission far away, right? Just because we didn't meet them yet and they have a symbol, doesn't mean that they have to be imprisoned and unable to move... I mean, the Harbingers have been around as just symbols for a while before they were shown, and they weren't inprosoned at all, we just needed to wait for their introduction video or to just meet them. The same applies to the witches. Also, the Yuandai can't go back to her human form, because she gave up on her human memories, but the witches didn't, they have their memories
@@alexanderericson8628 no, wait, the Melusines were born from the pieces of the Meks present during the explosion, and Elynas used them (probably because they're imbued with Pneuma-Ousia annihilation) to give birth to the Melusines. As for the hilichurls, we can't know for now. It is strange that they are digging for something, but it could simply be thst those specific hilichurls used to be work in the Azosite, so they're just doing what they used to do out of habit. The thing is that the narwhal didn't break any firmament, we were in the Primordial Sea, not in the sky. I doubt Childe would become the narwhal, because they are cosmic beings that destroy planets. The being inside doesn't look like Childe, it's more like Childe received his powers from the narwhal, so Childe got his appearance as a consequence. The people from tsurumi island discovered that the sky is fake, and we're talking about an unspecified amount of thousands of years... Scaramouche knew about the sky, because he's part of the Fatui, so it's most likely Pierro who told him, being a Khaenri'ahn mage and all. Scaramouche didn't really get rid of his constellation, he's still a puppet. Even if he turned into a human, his constellation wouldn't change, because that's who he originally was, it's his life story. I believe Irminsul already figured out that Scaramouche was trying to erase himself, that was a predetermined fate, I think I said that before in one or two of my videos
There’s a possibility that Capitano will leave us with the Gnosis because Tartaglia and Arlechino trust us enough for it since we are able to keep it safe from harm… it’s likely because the project is still in development and they need to ready themselves before they use all gnosis
@@JoshuaA1307 although Childe and Arlecchino do trust us, they still brought back the gnoses. Well... Not that Childe ever completed his missions... The Harbingers exist to obtain the gnoses and give them to the Tsaritsa, and the traveler opposes her. Giving us the gnosis wouldn't mean keeping it from harm, it would be an obstacle to the Tsaritsa's plans. That's why I think Capitano may leave the Fatui, because that would justify him giving us the gnosis and going against the Tsaritsa
@@ShadowXImpact true but I always had a nagging feeling that the Gnosis would be a target of the Abyss Order… likely hoping to corrupt a reincarnation of the 3rd descender. Perhaps we would be entrusted with the gnosis in order to prevent the Abyss from stealing all gnosis at once until they where sure that they had the go-ahead to perform the resurrection
After Capitano has helped Mavuika, he would get the pyro gnosis from her, just like how Neuvillette gave the hydro gnosis to Arlecchino after she helped him.
@@andrinaleong4079 so the traveler will be perfectly aware that the Tsaritsa has all 7 gnoses, so her plan to defeat the Heavenly Principles is finally ready to begin, but he will spend 5 more updates going around Natlan instead of heading straight to Snezhnaya? This is the main reason why I think we will keep the gnosis, otherwise there would be nothing justifying the traveler staying in Natlan
@@andrinaleong4079 I mean, whether it ended in 5.2 or in 5.3 as it will, nothing really changes, but apart from that, if Mavuika gives us the gnosis, then we don't really need to go to Snezhnaya as fast as we can, the Tsaritsa can't proceed with her plan because she would be missing a gnosis, and she can only get it when we decide to go there (and I think we will give it to her voluntarily, but that's another topic entirely)
@@ShadowXImpact but traveler staying in each nation was never about the gnosis anyway, also even if capitano got the gnosis, doesnt mean he immediately go back, it might take some time, and tsaritsa also could be needing some time to prepare whatever ritual or something
@@yzy8638 yes, staying in a nation has never been about the gnoses because we knew that the Tsaritsa didn't have all of them, so there was no urgency whatsoever. If Capitano brings back the Pyro Gnosis instead, she would have all of them. Considering we, as the traveler, think the Tsaritsa is evil and she's going to do something awful once she gets all the gnoses, why would we stay in Natlan and enjoy the place instead of running after Capitano, hoping to find and stop him before he got to Snezhnaya? Even if the Tsaritsa needed time to prepare for whatever she wants to do, that still wouldn't justify us staying in Natlan, if anything that would be an even stupider thing. We would still have time to stop her before she could actually go forward with her plan, we could use the time she needs to get ready to stop her before that happens
@@karkador yeah, but still, they do need to make people want to play the game, so I can't really blame them, to be honest. I mean, the game is already completely free...
I haven't gone through the whole video yet but I really wonder if the champion frog without confidence is a mirror image of capitano not being brave enough to compete
@@vichoe4589 well, considering 4 hours have passed since the comment, I suppose you already found out that I did say just that in the video. The bravest, strongest, most accomplished Harbinger, may actually have doubt about his strength and abilities
We do know kind if what happened to Gold. Skirk said she was "attempting perfection", along with Surtalogi. So she's definitely not dead. Another thing to point out, is that Durin coming back to life isn't reincarnation. It's resurrection, so the reincarnated dragon rules may not apply to him. Him not remembering would be due attributed to some form of corruption. Particularly Abyssal corruption, as his blood is Abyss-y itself. His blood brought back the Frostbearing Tree, so if he's revived in corruption, he could be corrupted himself, by his own blood.
@@PixelMochi yes, she's definitely alive, but we still have no clue what she's been up to, since our last info about her, was finding the heart of Naberius and going away. Considering what her specialization is, we could safely assume she's trying to use that heart to create some other being, if it's actually a biological heart, which should be, considering Naberius is an ars goetia name, so it's probably a dead god or something similar. Yeah, Durin is reviving himself, but we also don't know how the second generation of dragons came to life in the first place, there's always the possibility that they were born from the remains of their predecessors, which would make them resurrections rather than reincarnations. Either way, from what we read about Durin, he didn't really have a clear mind when he fought Barbatos and Dvalin, so he may have issues remembering stuff, regardless of how he's coming back to life, which is the reason why Albedo fears he won't just revive and be the same good dragon he originally was. As you said, the abyss corruption may cause some problems to his memories. As for the Frostbearing Tree, that honestly gave me a different idea. What if it absorbed the corruption with its roots? Or, on the opposite side, what if it absorbed Durin's memories, since it's still an Irminsul tree and, as such, memories should go back to it, only they couldn't be sent to the main Irminsul, because it was cut off by the Celestial Nail?
@@ShadowXImpact Mmhmm! Didn't she find that thing in Liyue? I feel like it was in Liyue. Idk why though lol Oooo... That's actually VERY true. Leyline business and whatnot. That'd be interesting! But then what would that spell for Irminsul itself, y'know? The Abyss Order's looking to corrupt it though, right? Or am I getting crossed wires? 😂 Also, about the dragons; that would make the most sense, since we all know what happened to those that tried to, succeeded in, and were obsessed with create life. 👀
But I get what you mean, with Irminsul absorbing it for the sake of like, sealing it from returning to him. Which is yes, another possibility. It's safe not to rule any of it out lol
This is way to much to remember honestly I do like reading the lore, stories being hidden and their meaning but needing to remember ~70% of conversations of one specify event that happen 2 years ago or you'll not getting anything related to the CURRENT VERSION is so ass I really enjoy genshin story overall but if we could have this in one go it will be way more enjoyable that it is right now (i know i'm coping)
@@lpi1565 I don't think you need to remember everything from the game, to be honest. Most of what's needed to understand the events and Archon quests, is usually something that left a mark in the past, even 2 years ago. Still, this is also the reason why many people, me included, make videos about Genshin Impact XD By the way, if they made a game with this much lore in one go, it would be way worse, because you wouldn't have the time to process things, so you would remember even less
I have a personal theory regarding simulanka, it was said that the world of simulanka was created by 3 goddesses and is also controlling it. Since it was introduced to us as a mirror or a reflection of the real world, that means teyvat was created by a god or gods that governs teyvat and everything is a simulation, as compare to the samsara cycle
@@cartluares yeah, that's what I've been saying a lot lately. Teyvat is not a real world, it's a dreamscape, a simulated reality, probably a world that mirrors the real planet, the Old World. I will expand on this concept in the next video that I'm writing right now, that will come out in a few days!
Princess who is looking for hero (help) to save her kingdom is representing an ancient nation living in snowy mountains. They preyed to heavens but there was no response anymore, so people start looking for answers into abyss. There is a lot of referrals to the ancient times. Entire event is a foreshadowing future: Durin is going to awake soon. Natlan is about dragons, resurrection, and war (without actual war) just sparing in between themselves. Are they going to awake heavenly principles in Shneznaya, that’ll why they collect gnosis? Or they going to attend resurrection of Nibelung in Natlan, however instead they will summon Durin by accident? Just theory and random thoughts, don’t take it too serious.
@@a.j.s.7312 it does sound like Sal Vindagnyr, but the hero back then, Imunlaukr, didn't save the kingdom, he couldn't help the princess and she died while he was away. I wouldn't call it foreshadowing, they literally told us that he's going to be revived, it's something we know it's going to happen. I think the heavenly principles will wake up when the Fatui will burn Irminsul, as we saw in the teaser for Sumeru. The devs said that scene is going to happen, but in the future. If they don't wake up then.... Nibelung is technically not dead. Apep said that he came back to life in Deshret's time, while Durin's revival is not going to be a mistake made by someone else, he is reviving on his own
10:12 thank you for pointing this out! Gold gave elynas a physical form which, to me at least, means she didn't create him nor is she his mom 🥲 I fear that this misinformation has spread too much that pointing it out seems like it won't change the fandom's perspective.
@@ambieee it is basically what Elynas said himself, he was already alive before he became Elynas, but as Rhinedottir being his mother, I would still consider her as such, mainly because Elynas considers her his mom, she still brought him into the world, which is a similar concept to being born in Teyvat, so it's kinda, barely, fitting
another take, AQ Bedtime Story it feels like a goodbye to the old plot, it feels like the end of a season, and the next season will come out after the snezhnaya arc
@@cartluares it could be. I mean, they started closing the various circles they opened in the past three years, because we are slowly going toward the end of the game. Once we reached Fontaine, we went past the halfway point, since there are at least 8 version with Khaenri'ah, so everything started escalating since then, and it will probably keep going like this until the end of Snezhnaya, so that Khaenri'ah will be the revelation of the truth of everything we've learned so far. I hope there's a version 9, a post apocalypse kind of update, to be honest
@@xvgarnet well, yeah, even though Ei and Makoto ruled together, only one was the Archon, but still, I meant that in the game, like in the present in the game, we never saw two Archons ruling together at the same time, there's always been one current Archon in every nation we've been to
@@kyptosfleigtch4952 well, if we consider the Shogun's story quest, we actually already experienced it. When we go back into the domain, we see the past in the shattered glass around us. We went 500 years in the past, which is what Makoto asked Istaroth basically. But yeah, it would be nice to experience it in a more conscious way
This theory is so interesting and is also quite reasonable, but im also confused about Hecate.If im correct, Hecate is the greek goddess of magic and Nyx (a very different and much older and powerful goddess) is the goddess of the night- Other than this the theory is really good.
@@Im_Somone but as you should also know, many gods in ancient religions, end up ruling over multiple concepts, some of which are shared by other gods as well. This is the reason why there's Nyx, the goddess and personification of the night, but also Hecate, who among the things she rules over, there's the night as well. I mean, even Hades has some rulership over the night and darkness for example. This is also similar to being the God of the moon: Hecate, Artemis and Selene are all goddesses of the moon. Still, thank you, I'm happy you like the video!!!
I do think that if capitano becomes playable, we will see his face. Who knows.... maybe he's even the first pyro archon, even if he uses cryo powers from the tsaritsa.
@@artaleasham4105 I hope that him being cryo isn't a leak but just a deduction based on Signora, which would be actually wrong since Childe's delusion is electro, so the Tsaritsa can assign whatever element she wants. Still, yeah, if he become playable, it will probably be because he resurrected himself. I do believe he is dead but couldn't go back to Irminsul, nor did he disappear like other cursed people
There was a clan with giant toys who were hostile to the other ones, how do you think they will be represented in Natlan? Could they be linked with Venessa's tribe? Also, thanks for the effort on pronouncing correctly the náhuatl and maya things.
@@montse3139 well, in Simulanka, they're from Cappet's clan, so they should be the Pyro clan. I don't really know how it could be represented. Maybe it's the Pyro Saurian's characteristic? They can be small (like the Phoenix in Ignition that turned into Mavuika) and be able to become huge (like the Pyro flying saurian at the ent of the first teaser)? I honestly don't know what Vennessa's tribe could be. By the time Vennessa was born, so many generations had passed (in fact, Vennessa wasn't born in Natlan at all), that the elders stopped teaching them about their origins, so she couldn't say much in the manga. Maybe she's from the Pyro clan, considering her strength and the fsct that they have red hair like the Archon? in turn, that could also mean that the Archon comes from the clan, which would make things even harder to understand... A human Archon? We'll see pretty soon, I guess. As for the pronunciation, I tried, as I always do, to look for native people saying those names, but when it comes to mesoamerican cultures, there is very little around. I hope I pronounced them correctly...
How do you counter the popular theory though that there are 4 shades as represented by Genshin's artifact system. The flower of life, which we know represents the shade of life who created Egeria, the plume of death represented by the feather, Istaroth the shade of time represented by the timepiece, Susty the shade that controls space is being represented by the goblet and there's the Crown supposedly the representation of the Primoridal God. I ascribe more to the idea that the three goddesses in Simulanka are the foreshadowing of the three moonsisters who once control the fate of Teyvat
@@jinminchoi838 I don't really have to counter it, to be honest. If the shade are represented by the artifacts, it doesn't really cause any problem, apart from the fact that Susty being the goblet doesn't really make sense, she would be better represented by the shade of life, since she's depicted as the goddess of creation in Simulanka. The Eonothem name from the goblet, doesn't really have much to do with space, it represents geological eras, reason why it might represent Phanes, the one who created the microcosm that is undergoing specific cycles that we can also define as eras. As for the three goddesses foreshadowing the moon sisters, we simply have different ideas, but remember that the concept of the three moon sisters doesn't come from a valid source, it's a novel, so we don't really know if they were sisters to begin with, nor if they have anything to do with fate, considering that two fell, but fate still exists
@@ShadowXImpact Still, the fact that the shade of life created the original hydro archon Egeria to replace the sovereign dragon and safeguard the Primordial seawater which is the origin of lifeforms in all of Teyvat, doesn't sound anything like what we know about Susty at all. Her abilities seem to have to do with void/space and don't reflect what you would expect from the shade of life. And she seems to do very well when she destroys things like her boxes are visible in the Khaenriah's cataclysm.
@@jinminchoi838 yes, but what do we really know about her? We only saw her once, and she uses her cubes to take and move stuff, she doesn't really destroy anything if we want to be precise. Neither Aether nor Lumine have been destroyed, they were relocated. This gives her powers over space, and as such, she may have created everything in Teyvat, the bodies of the people included, while their souls in Teyvat, are their memories, so we're talking about the shade of Fate in this case. Susty creating Egeria is also something that we can't really deny because, once again, we have no ideas what her powers are, and she definitely didn't use all of them to fight the twins. We can't treat that short opening as a comprehensive explanation of who Susty is and what she can do, we literally saw nothing about her
@@ShadowXImpact The cubes she possesses are actually shown in the scene where Lumine is running while the whole of Khaenri'ah is engulfed with Susty's powers. So safe to say she used her powers to destroy the kingdom. But I digress. And I agree we don't see much of her yet.
@@jinminchoi838 yes, but I'll challenge this as well. Dainsleif said, talking about Halfdan, that he managed to keep something despite something else being taken away from it ("without it"), meaning that the people of Khaenri'ah were deprived of something, which turned them into what they are now. On the other hand, Cloud Retainer told Yuandai that, without her memories, she would become a monster, which is similar to what seems to have happened to the people to Khaenri'ah. So, we're back to Susty taking something away and relocating it, in this case people's memories. For all we know, the cubes didn't destroy the nation, it could have been caused by the war that the Khaenri'ahn fought, or maybe because of the powers they obtained that went berserk destroying the whole nation
@@skyro656 yeah. Although, I wonder where this puts Beidou, since she's also in the country of gold and got beef with a sea monster... The only difference is her name
There are some innacurate things you say. Everyone in Teyvat calls Aether by the name we players give him, you can even see it in the subtitles. It only says traveler in the voice acting to match all of the different names and only Lumine calls us Aether in game. It is the same with Scaramouche - we chose a name for him yet everyone calls him in the voicelines Hat Guy. And another thing - the three godesses obviously refer to the three moon sisters of Teyvat, not the PrIMOrdial ONe and his shades which are descenders....
@@mizrahiomr I think that the name we picked is just part of the game mechanics, a way to make the player feel part of the story, not the actual name they use to refer to the traveler, but even if the people used that name instead of Aether, the concept doesn't change, people still don't call the traveler Aether. Scaramouche is a different concept completely. People don't call him by the name we gave him, simply because he never told anyone. It's the name we picked for him and he most likely wants to keep it for himself. It's not like people can't call him whatever name we chose. Obviously, they had to do this because they can't have the voice actors say the name we picked. As for the goddesses, I don't see the "obviousness" you claim... And, out of curiosity, were you trying to spell Paimon with the letters of the Primordial One? Because that only spelled PIMOON and it can't work with the other languages, especially considering that English is not even the main one...
@@stars_and_lattes3078 I'll give you an example that you can easily find for yourself by reading the whole script of the 2.8 summer event like I did before making this video. Kazuha can't leave his room - Nahida can't leave the Sanctuary of Surasthana. Xinyan wasn't the person everybody wanted her to be - Nahida was hated because she wasn't Rukkhadevata, the God most people wanted. In Xinyan's mirage, there are three friends, one of which is alone while the other two are together - Rukkhadevata, Deshret and Nabu Malikata Xinyan's birthday party - Sabzeruz Festival In Fischl's mirage, there was a theater and the other version of Fischl asked the citizens to bring her their dreams to fight the darkness - Akasha System The true history of the Immernachtreich has been forgotten - Irminsul changed people's perspective of history, so they forgot the truth Fischl and her other version, that eventually merged into one - Nahida and Rukkhadevata Then there's the Fatui and their machine that used dreams to work - Scaramouche So yeah, there is a reason why people make videos about the summer events being spoilers of the new Archon Quests, it's not just a clickbait
@@Disorder2312 or they can just make two updates 1 week shorter and they'd be back on track. Although, what's on track anymore? They used to have the anniversary during the X.1 version, and this year it ended up in 5.0, so the schedule may not be actually so strict...
@@SachaAnderson-d8v nope, we never learned that, but if Fontaine replenishes the water supply of the entire world, it would make sense that it's elevated, right? Maybe that's just how it is. It's like asking why certain mountains on earth are tall, they just ended up being like that because of nature
@@silverhawkscape2677 if I got something right, it would basically on par with when I correctly figured out the Dendro hypostasis name 3 months before it was released!
The moment you named her "Susty" my memory of her supposed leaked name is like... Erased? I swear I've heard her name a few time's but hearing you name her "Susty" triggered some sort of reverse Deja Vu in my head, i blame you for making my head hurt lol
@@banggobang5148 XD well, I mean, that leaked name has been used over and over again in basically every anime that uses demon names for the characters. It's probably the most used name actually.... Since I don't know if you're asking for the name, I won't say it, but if you want, just say the word XD
I see where you are going with what you are proposing, but don’t you think Zhongli seems to be a part of all this? He says he is older than 6000 years old. If so, and Teyvat is 6000 years old, who is Zhongli? Does it depend upon time and his age? If he is older than 6000 years old, he could be 6500 years old. OR he could be 20,000 years old or 50,000 years old or even older? Might he be the missing Phade? Or could he be the Second Who Came? He has made a constract with the Tsaritsa, but couldn’t he have made contracts with many other beings and creatures? So he could never tell the Traveler anything. I also like your idea that the twins did not come to Teyvat at the same time. I still have a tendency to believe they did end up on Teyvat at the same time and the Heavenly Principles divided them. Well most of these questions are still out there. The timeline of the story is all over the place as well. Because many of the characters are immortal (Aether and Lumine) or affected by some long life curse (Dainslief), it is hard to put a pin into actual dates. Or is the whole word just under a Samsara? Cursed to do things over and over and over again, until they get it right? Well Natlan is next so we shall see!😊
@@juliekm6495 I will never understand why many people think that Zhongli has to be a shade or that Teyvat has to be just 6000 years because of Zhongli's age. He is simply one of the gods of Teyvat. If he were a shade, why become an Archon and rule over just one nation? Why would he have to make contracts with the Adepti to get help fighting the other, lower gods? It's even worse if we, somehow, believe he's the second who came, someone who fought and defeated the Primordial One, an entity who defeated the seven dragon sovereign. Plus, the Archon War happened 3000 years ago, give or take, how can three whole eras, the unified nation, the evnoy age and the age of the gods of old, fit in just 3000 more years? That's too little for all of that to have happened. He made a contract with the Tsaritsa, but it's not like he decided to keep the terms a secret so that he wouldn't be able to tell the traveler, that's what the Tsaritsa asked of him. And he did make contracts with other beings, the Adepti, but again, it's not like he's using contracts specifically to avoid telling the traveler things. I mean, if he doesn't want to tell us something, it's not like we can force him anyway or that he's forced to tell us the truth unless there's a contract involved. I never said that the twins arrived on Teyvat in different moments. They clearly arrived together and then Susty separated them and released them in different moments of the past, one right away and the other 500 years later. It's not even something that can be questioned, since we literally saw them together in the opening video. And no, I don't think the samsara of the world's work like the samsaras back during the Sabzeruz Festival. There have been 3 samsaras and we're experiencing the fourth right now. The samsaras ended with a global catastrophe, so the world being capsized, the celestial nail, and the Archon War. Probably, most things happened similarly because Teyvat works on memories, but they can't be exact cycles. We know that the civilizations of these ancient eras were completely different. Some were underdeveloped, some were strangely advanced, so that alone makes the samsaras different.
I think the pyro archon will pull a venti and hand their power over to us like he did with duvallin, (I can’t spell his name.) that would be cool as hell. But yours sounds like something they would do I’m always wrong anyway 😂
@@Azzywrld224 at this point, everything is still possible, we could even be both wrong. It's a theory, at the end of the day, not a fact XD We'll see very soon, the livestream will definitely give us more hints. Hopefully they'll release another Natlan video before that, too!
@@NycKFetzer and why would a world creator deity that wrote the fate of every single being, join an organization that wants to defy the same fate that she created? Such a powerful entity, and she's not even the first of the Harbinger, she's the third
@@ShadowXImpact because just as we were told the heavenly principles is sleeping, I do believe the primordial one is as well, with everything that is happening, the Hydro sovereign regaining his authority, the hydro throne destroyed, one of the seven publicly "declaring war" to Celestia (the Tsaritsa) a loom of fate being created, this are not something Celestia would just "let it slip" you know, so maybe, with all Celestia being out of the scene, Columbina could be in such a weakened state that she doesn't even resemble the power she once had. That's only to explain why she's only the third harbinger, now for her reason, it is unclear, since we don't know basically anything from the top 3 harbingers and the shades, but if the shade of fate is indeed divided into 3 representatives, she could be against the fate pre determined and saw the "fall of Celestia" (and I mean everyone out of the scene, either sleeping or basically not watching over teyvat) the opportunity to redeem? To try to make things right on her own terms? Tsaritsa knowing what she is/was would gladly accepts her into the fatui with the promise that if Celestia eventually wakes up, because they will certainly do at some point, help the fatui achieve their ultimate goal. With a being as powerful as a shade in their side they could "use" her to gain more time between Celestia waking up and realizing what's going on and descending Full force against the Tsaritsa, since, following the logic, if Celestia wakes up, if the primordial one more precisely wakes up, so does she regains her powers. Ps: I'm sorry if the theory is somewhat convoluted, English is not my native language so there can be some messed up stuff
@@Centurion321O you mean the book inside the cave? I honestly can't give you an answer for that right now. I don't remember the story and I didn't analyze it to prioritize what I wanted to say in the video. I am going to read that book again and find a meaning for it, so once I've done that, I'll give you an answer
@@ShadowXImpact As well it may even be a stories without any deeper meaning, but it's hard to tell. I don't think that cause it was in important spot. And I kinda feel like Simulanka is not 100% finished in term of story, last quest in Sumeru was out of place and why.
@@Centurion321O yeah, that's why I want to read it again. When I read it, I didn't really understand what it was really talking about, nothing came to mind, but as you said, the place where it was and the fact that we can't keep it, could mean that it has some hidden meaning. As for the last quest, honestly, I've been trying to figure out what it meant, but it just made no sense. We're they trying to tell us that the first person we met is the one behind everything? Or is it talking about Natlan, so the first person we'll see is the culprit of something? I honestly don't know.... If it's the former, then it would be either Paimon or Susty, or maybe Venti?
This might come across by actually had an idea for your theory for the longest time, we’ve all been assuming that xbalanque is the pyro dragon but with you saying that the original Pyro icon in tune themselves in the primal fire with the pyro dragon it had me thinking that xbalanque may possibly be the original pyro archon here’s my reasoning 1) mavuika is the counterpart of himeko that is clear enough due to her design and every version of her is supposed to die in some type of way, which is essentially meaning that that is her fate, so I wonder if mavuika acknowledges this and is taking fate in her own hands by her own means thus the wording “and now we shall use our blood to form our true fate” And if you don’t know in Mayan culture which is what part of natlan is inspired by view blood as a conduit between worlds and a manifestation of the life force so I wonder if mavuika is going to use her blood (lava are something like that) in order to achieve your goal and if you didn’t know the Mayans believe that humans were created due to the gods giving part of their blood to them and if this is true in Genshin then it makes sense why humans are divine in nature but that divinity is being suppressed due to the predestined fates they’ve been deceived into believing that they can make their own choices when really it’s celestia doing the bitting this idea also works well with Fontaine since neuvillette was only able to save the people from Fontaine by changing their primordial blood vessels into true human blood it seems as if the change of blood can also affect your fate as well, especially since blood is a prime example of DNA of your own heritage so I wonder if mavuikas plan have something to do with the blood of gods and if her sacrifice is a part of it, it also makes me wonder if she’s trying to free the og pyro archon and the pyro dragon as a way of defying celestias rules making to beings that are supposed to be enemies coexist with each other. It could be possible that mavuika may try to sacrifice herself to bring back her predecessor but in the end her predecessor is the one that will be doing the sacrificing giving all their power to her after her death thus the rising from the ashes and resurrection part of natlan since simulankas story talked abt how durin was misunderstood as a dragon. I wonder if the same thing will happen with the fire dragon as well it’s also really interesting how mavuika compared to the rest of the archons has an outfit very similar to that of the abyss and how it also reflects that of the watered down pyro slime which makes me believe that her ascension to archon hood as you said could have a effect on her availability as well it is very likely that she is still the god of natlan but doesn’t officially hold the title of archon since for me I feel like she’s gonna be released later in the story of natlan the reason I say this is because venti was released 1.0 of the game then zhongli and ei released in the x.1 of their nations ark then nahida and furina released in the x.2 of their nations ark it seems as if hoyo is making a pattern with the archons releases with every two being released a update later then the other so it’s likely mavuika will release in 5.3 which will be natlans real end of an ark since genshin seems to be cooking up a lot for the nation this also means the cryo archon bronya will be releases in 6.3 and if this is their pattern then it makes way for better story telling for both those nations for example 5.0 of natlan can be the introduction of characters and the main conflict of the story 5.1 will further explore the conflict by retelling past stories of natlan history I also kinda believe we’ll have a tribe land available in 5.1 map in order to do so then 5.2 will be when the story starts to ramp up but also go backwards because as you said mavuika diverging from her original fate could have some type of effect were time moves backwards a little which is likely why folcalors had to come up with such a outrageous plane to save Fontaine she new celestias will can overpower her goal so she decided to take fate into her own advantage by deceiving it by playing into its rules and that’s also how she was able to save the nation essentially when I’m trying to say that mavuika instead of deceiving fate and playing into its rules like folcalors she’s gonna be more bold and want to challenge it full on I mean she is the god of war so are doing something like that wouldn’t be a surprise btw I also want to believe murata and mavuika are the same person it’s just that people in the past called her murata very likely as a title like the raiden shogun or Rex lapis especially since venti talks abt the pyro archon in a very similar Manner to that of mavuika that we’ve seen also I don’t believe like previous quest that we’ve seen that we will get the gnosis ik it may seem as though it would be a stupid idea to still stay in the nation even with the fatui having all seven, but they would still be missing one or two we don’t exactly see the cryo gnosis when pierro is playing chess with very likely the tsaritsa in the winter nights, Lazzo it could be very well hidden or lost And yeah, I guess you can say it’s for all final reveal and stuff but the gnosis are really just chest pieces to show the archons place we haven’t even seen the dendro gnosis yet or the hydro gnosis and we are going to natlan next update it doesn’t seem as though the gnosis are that important anymore to the main plot of the story they kind of feel like additional side plots Plus, the reason why I say even if the fatui do all seven gnosis they still be missing the king Anemo is queen Electro and dendro bishop Hydro and pyro knight And geo and cryo rook Genshin is heavily implying those elements to be related to do certain chess pieces, but we would still be missing the camp piece which very likely resides in celestia so since the gnosis are from the third Decender, that is very likely that they’re going to have to wait for someone like us to be the equivalent of the king piece or try to utilize our body in order to work well with the other gnosis tbh I believe the traveler is just simply upon since more and more quest is less us being a fighter but more so as witnessing the fighting since we are the witness of this world and as upon they cannot ascend to the king piece like how dain says that the throne in the sky is not reserved for us as if saying that we cannot attend to the seat of God because it is not our seat to sit in
@@isaiahhaley4816 I've never thought Xbalanque was the fire dragon, not even once. He said that when "they" will come back, talking about the dragons, so he doesn't count himself among them, hence he's not a dragon (and I'm saying "he" because the mythological Xbalanque was male, so I'm going for that until we learn who he is in the game). Mavuika is Himeko, and if she's supposed to die in every universe, then maybe she's always been the "princess", only when Natlan fell those three times, she fell as well, died, came back to life, but she forgot who she was before, so she thinks there were other princesses before her? As for Neuvillette, it's not like he changed the Fontainians' blood, he turned the Primordial Water that was flowing into their veins, into blood, which seems to have been what happened to every single being created from the Primordial Sea when Teyvat was created. In Fontaine's case, the fact that this transformation was important, it's because Primordial Water wants to go back to the Primordial Sea, reason why Celestia decided to flood the nation with Primordial Water, so that people got in contact with it, turned back to Oceanids and the Egeria's arrogation would have been solved. It's not about blood per se, it was about preserving their bodies by turning them into actual humans. I highly doubt Mavuika wants Celestia to coexist with the dragons... And, although the pattern sounds interesting, I don't think people would be happy if Mavuika gets released later than 5.2... We don't want another petition against Hoyoverse.... But I like the idea of Mavuika challenging fate head on instead of tricking it. I did say this, multiple times, that I think Murata is going to be a title, not a name, so when Mavuika becomes the actual Pyro Archon (because we never witnessed an ascension before), she will inherit that name, the title of Murata, which is what the gemstone talks about. Well, I mean, the Tsaritsa may be on Pierro's side, but she's not dumb. She might be keeping her gnosis until the time to use them all 7 arrives, so Pierro doesn't have it simply because she still owns it. The gnoses are not important? Might I remind you that they are the remains of the third descender and that the Fatui are interested in the object and not the power inside, so they are most likely trying to revive the guy? So here's the thing... Why are we so sure that Dainsleif is talking to us in the Travail video? I mean, he says "when the God of War shares this secret WITH THE TRAVELER".... He's not talking to us, he is talking to someone else... For all we know, he could be telling Lumine a prophecy of the future his brother, Vedrfolnir, told him, so yeah, the throne in the sky is not reserved to her, because she's not a descender. Who needs to be saved at the end then? Well, if they told us already, the game would be probably over...
@@ShadowXImpact with dain he’s a narrator for the traveler he’s not talking to no one but us the viewer It’s only at the end of the video where he actually starts talking to the traveler because they are the ones that’s shown I don’t see why or who else they would be talking to since again we are the protagonist we are the ones capable of changing fate because we are a decender the game has made that to be plenty clear plus when other people like the genshin characters are talking in their teasers their not talking to anyone unless they are revealed to be so it’s mostly in their heads so their not talking to them or the traveler it’s a narration for us the viewer also dain ask the traveler to challenge him and lumine has already fought dain we haven’t he’s our final obstacle so yes he is talking to us especially since he says then well, the threads of our fate be yours to reveave Also, I feel like you’re twisting my words. I never said that the gnosis were unimportant I just say that they don’t feel as important anymore as they use to yes they are the remains of the third descender but if the archons don’t care abt them then why does tge traveler even bother to. Also once we get mavuikas real name maybe we can see her place in natlans story also I don’t understand why it’s such a bad idea to release her a little later for natlans update if anything it’s a good strategy the archons are the most wishable characters in the game there are main plot points to their nations so of course genshin could just hold off their release a little more it’s not going to be bad if anything Also, to clarify, the petition only exists to stop hoyos cultural appropriation of poc cultures not for something as stupid as a postponed release Also neuvillette did change the Fontaineians blood her even set it himself if he’s changing it their primordial seawater blood into true human blood then he is essentially changing them? That’s literally what he did
@@isaiahhaley4816 nah, I don't buy that, Dainsleif didn't break the fourth wall and talked to us directly about the traveler. Yes, the Archons don't care about their gnoses, but the traveler does, since he is the one fighting the Harbingers. They don't feel less important, especially after Fontaine and what Skirk told Neuvillette. If anything, they suddenly got way more important that they were before, but obviously we can't do much, because we haven't gone to Snezhnaya yet
@@ShadowXImpact I mean, I guess you can be right about dain but also at the same time you could just be overthinking it the video shows as a previous teaser to the nation stories and what the travelers role will be and then we reached the end dain starts to talk to the traveler I don’t understand why you always dive a little too deep into these and I get it that’s pretty much your job but there are some things that are just their and really don’t have any deeper meaning if we dain it’s talking to someone else then we would have to assume that every character who had a character teaser is talking to someone else when most of which is in their mind their own narration Also even though it was a huge lower drop for the gnosis to me I still feel like you’re not exactly the most important factor of the game like they kind of feel like a after thought rather then the main plot
@@isaiahhaley4816 or maybe you're simply underthinking things? To me, this is Dainsleif talking to someone, recounting Aether's journey, so this is a video of Dainsleif in the future, when Aether has already traveled throughout Teyvat. Just like the Myriad Celestia in Star Rail ended up being Black Swan talking in our sleep at the end of Penacony, even though we saw that video at the beginning of the game. It could very well be Dainsleif talking maybe not to Lumine, but to Vedrfolnir, someone who clearly wants to achieve greater, godly powers, and he's saying "that throne is not for you. The traveler did all of this and now he's heading to Khaenri'ah, where the people a dreaming of dreaming, what you caused with your greed. Are you going to save her (whoever she is)? We'll see about that, maybe I'll be able to do it with the help of the traveler". Anyway, that's my opinion, you can clearly disagree and believe I'm overthinking it. Only time will tell
@@wuwaplays I honestly think it's just Barbeloth being immature and wanting to be better than her student, so she went "thrice as great" just to make a point XD
Sorry for deleting my last comment, in all honesty I was a bit embarrassed for misrepresenting the lore, however looking back into it, I have yet to see any mention of Heimarmene being a member of the ordo, So I still feel she'd be the shade/god responsible for fate As the letter found near the ordo states: "To receive a Vision is to sell oneself to the "fate" of this world - to Heimarmene, and to evermore lose the chance to walk the correct path." This, to me, does not come off as a letter commenting on past members who have failed, but rather, a further elaboration on what was said. To sell oneself to the "fate" of this world is to sell oneself to Heimarmene, thus forever to walk the incorrect path. In the Greek myth, Heimarmene is the god of fate associated with the concept of cause and effect. A concept that is quite prevalent in the game. While the causes of events can vary since humans have the free will to make decisions, the effects, however, remain the same, as they are fixed events. Thus, the beginning of the note: "...To excise the self is not to die, but rather to die before death. That way, there is no life to be ended. Thus may one achieve eternity. This step is vital, for by this, may one avoid receiving a Vision by some error." Would make sense in the context of fate being somewhat fixed. As by excising the self, one would be aiming to transcend the ordinary cycle of cause and effect, stepping outside the bounds of conventional fate. In doing so, they would avoid the destiny that would otherwise befall them, achieving a form of eternity beyond the reach of Heimarmene's influence. They are essentially trying to abuse their free will to determine their own outcomes, their own causes. So to me Heimarmene is most likely the name of the god which controls fate, however if you have any points of contention, I'd love to hear them, I promise not to delete my comments this time around 💀
@@heliax2958 so, to be more precise in my reply and avoid saying something wrong, especially since you took the time to rewrite it, I checked the Italian translation for that note and I have to agree that I was wrong in thinking Heimarmene is one of the members of the Ordo, but my new conclusion still disagrees with yours. The way it was translated especially in Italian, Heimarmene refers to the fate of the world, but it's not a being, it's not the shade. The Heimarmene is the Ordo's name for the fate of the world, not intended as a being that rules over fate, but to fate itself. It's like saying "to this world, to Teyvat", "Teyvat" is not a being but just the name of the world. Heimarmene is basically the name of the concept. Despite how deep Rene went with his research on Teyvat, he never discovered the shades, and if he did, he wouldn't have been allowed to live that long. Remember that Nabu Malikata said that inquiring about the shades and their master would have caused an apocalypse, basically. The only ones who know about the shades and the Primordial One so far, are the Abyss Order (and the Fatui, but thanks to Pierro, who is still from Khaenri'ah), and Enjou was able to talk about it without any catastrophe, because he, like the other Khaenri'ahns, has been cut off from Irminsul, so whatever he knows, will never be recorded by the tree, and he talked about the shades to the traveler, whose memories also won't go back to Irminsul. Plus, the traveler doesn't really know about the shades. Before Sun and Moon is written in a lost language, one that the traveler can't read, he says it during the quest in which we retrieved the book. We can read it, but it's game mechanics for the players. This to say that Rene figured out that fate is problematic in Teyvat, that receiving a vision is probably even worse, it may prevent one from ever having the chance to defy it, but he never learned about the shade, let alone their names.
@@ShadowXImpact Sorry for the late response, but fair point! My next best guess for the shade or rather, beings in charge of fate, would be none other then the travelers. But that gets a lot more complicated, and a lot more theoretical so I'll just save you the explanation, unless you'd be open to hearing my thoughts on the manner.
I actually believe the broken sea area and mines also represent inazuma (tatarasuna) cuz that is where we meet wanderer and that's where he and durin bond over their similar pasts
@@pain-tf2lp I've seen others think about this. While it can make sense, also considering the island being split in half, the miners who overmined and causes the dragon to go berserk, is literally the Chasm, while the princess of the Kingdom of Breezes and Bells sealed her nation and confined herself, like Ei. So maybe Inazuma is represented by the Kingdom in the forest, but it's also one of the nations the Broken Sea mirrors
@@Disorder2312 That it's the forge of the other nations? Well, Natlan is split in 6 different areas, each representing an element, it's not a place full of lava and fire like we probably expected, since the other nation were all about their own elements. As I consequence, I thought of Volcano, the God of Fire from Greek mythology, who had a forge, and went with that potential explanation. Plus, Simulanka is also split in different sections that represent the nations of Teyvat, so it just felt like a kind of confirmation. I could be wrong, of course, but if I was 100% sure about it, it wouldn't have been a theory
@@Disorder2312 oh, it's because there's no cryo Saurian in Natlan, and also for another reason that I'm actually going to talk about in the video I'm editing right now, that might come out tomorrow!!!
@@ShadowXImpact Is this from leaks or what? I thought there was no pyro one. Then that would also mean that Natlan was used as a forge to forge itself.
@@Disorder2312 in this channel, there are no leaks, because I avoid them as the plague. In Natlan, their will obviously be a Pyro Saurian tribe. Ranjit told us that the colors of the Saurians represent their elements, and so far, we've seen a Geo, yellow Saurian, a Hydro, blue Saurian, and a dendro, green Saurian, but we also saw a massive red Saurian in the sky, with no other colors on it, meaning that it is going to be the Pyro Saurian. Natlan is not boiling hot, but it's also not going to be cold, also considering how far away from Snezhnaya is. Since the Saurians evolved based on the environment they lived in, Natlan most likely won't have any kind of cold areas, so they would have never felt the need to adapt to those temperature, hence there's no Cryo Saurian
@@ShadowXImpact what if he’s already come back to life? As Paimon. Think about her attitude towards Vente. Hat guy the companion in the story who’s name is wanderer. Or is he the traveler? As we remember the traveler was described as huge monster capable of devouring the world. And Paimon connected to the heavens. I’m just tossing out ideas now that we see Durins future which seems to be as far less threatening and welcomed by the people.
@@jamesreese4170 you do remember that Durin's heart is still in the cave on Dragonspine, right? Wanderer, in Simulanka, represents the traveler in my opinion, which could simply mean that Durin may become a floating companion like Liloupar or the Seelie or the Shiki Koshou that I use. The traveler being a giant monster capable of devouring the world, should simply mean that, as a descender, he is capable of challenging a world, so if he were to become evil, he could also destroy it completely
@@ShadowXImpact aye but was not azhdaha both a trapped dragon, a girl guiding possessed miners and a guy who talks to rocks, while his body was still trapped. Physical limitations apparently do not trouble strong dragons.
@@jamesreese4170 those were temporary personalities because Azhdaha's powers were leaking from the seals, they were not actual people/beings, and they came to existence because Azhdaha is still alive, while Durin is in a death kind of state similar to Elynas. We could only meet Elynas in his consciousness, he never created a copy of himself that roamed the world, the best he could do, was talk to Mamere in her mind, simply because she had a greater affinity with him
@@Zhonglily_99 it could be. Unless we're told what his name is, we can't really be sure about it, but the fact that he's safeguarding his name so much, is definitely sus
@@ShadowXImpact there was a theory that the only character who knows his real name is Furina (might be just a reference but one of her constellation is « his name is … » if I remember well). Could be just him being 10000% professional or just a safety measure
Curious, do you think Zhongli has a bigger role in all of this in future? I've seen theories him being one of the shades (cant remember which one). He is OLD and seems kinda sus and cant tell us anything because of a NDA lol
@@sonjab.6852 I'm well aware of the Zhongli-shade theory, and honestly it doesn't make sense to me. If he were a shade, what would be the point of becoming an Archon and rule over one single nation? If he's so powerful, how is he even affected by erosion? But above all, why would he give the Tsaritsa his gnosis when even the Primordial One decided to help in order to transform the third descender into the gnoses? There are a lot of points that wouldn't make sense if he was a shade. This theory begins with him saying that he "dwellt" on the land for a long time, and people just can't accept that "to dwell" is simply an ancient way to say "I've lived", so not necessarily that he came from beyond Teyvat. As for the NDA, if he talked, then the whole point of contracts being absolute, so his whole existence, would be meaningless. If the Archon himself doesn't follow his own rules, it would be kinda bad. As for his role, sure, he is going to have a massive role, considering there's a war that's about to start, and we know what he can do if he decides to fight
@@purple_bird_cat then when I say Aether, it simply means Lumine for you, and vice versa I dont like saying "the traveler twin" and "the abyss twin" to be honest, it feels so cold...
@@tipegunsegunduleunse I mean, the people of Enkanomiya, who know her since the beginning of time, call her the master of time, and when she helped Makoto, we were able to plant the seed of the Sakura tree in the past, so I guess it's pretty much confermed that she is the shade of time
@@tipegunsegunduleunse what other confirmation do you need apart what we witnessed in Inazuma? You can even see the past in the mirrors as we're going in again to help Ei...
This is a very good theory❤❤ BUT WHY AETHER AND LUMINE?!!! Aether is not canon to be the traveler, and Lumine is not canon to be the abyss sibling. What? If someone chose Lumine as the traveler, then Teyvat's fate is doomed?
@@dirisiri1267 thank you, I'm happy you liked it. But, Aether is canon to be the traveler and Lumine is canon to be the abyss sibling, reason why every official video has this setting. I highly doubt anyone would feel offended in any possible way if a content creator decided to pick one of the two possible configurations, especially if that content creator uses Aether as the traveler, so let's try to avoid complaining about things that don't offend anyone. You picked Lumine? Then I am 100% sure you still understand that, whenever I say Aether, it means Lumine for you...
@@haroonafridi231 it would be nice, but I doubt it. Mini-durin became a little Spyro dragon, so something similar is most likely to happen for Durin as well, rather than turning human-like
Durin’s creation sounds very much like how zhongli made Azhdaha. He was a voice without a body and zhongli made him a body and eyes to see. There’s something zhongli is hiding
umm.. that's actually not how it happened. the trailer of zhongli and azhdaha is composed of the story teller side of story, then zhongli give his affirmation. Iron Tongue Tian: In our last tale, Rex Lapis was walking alone in the mountains. He heard a remote voice unlike any other coming from a crack in the earth. Zhongli: Most of the ancient Geo life forms that live below Liyue are blind, having not seen the sunlight for an age. Iron Tongue Tian: The voice was sometimes sad and songlike, other times it was loud and thunderous. The Lord of Geo searched here and there before finally unearthing a strange stone from the bedrock. Zhongli: That's how Azhdaha was. I answered his wish, and took him above ground. Iron Tongue Tian: The Lord of Geo took pity on the rock's spirit and carved it into a magnificent work of craftsmanship - a vivid representation of a dragon. Zhongli: I bestowed him with a pair of eyes to see the world and came to an agreement with him. Iron Tongue Tian: With his fingers, he made two eyes. Quicker than words could tell, lightning flashed and thunder roared, and a living, breathing dragon soared into the clouds! Zhongli: I agreed to let him live among the people above ground, but if the day ever came when he brought ruin to order, he would once again be sealed in the dark. Iron Tongue Tian: The dragon accompanied the Lord of Geo, fighting campaigns alongside him in the four corners of the world. basically, iron tongue tian telling us the exaggerated version of the story, then zhongli continue with the real event. iron tongue tian said that zhongli creates azhdaha from a rock, shaping it like dragon, but zhongli said that he only bestowed eyes to the blind ancient geo lifeform. Basically this : Most of the ancient Geo life forms that live below Liyue are blind, having not seen the sunlight for an age. That's how Azhdaha was. I answered his wish, and took him above ground. I bestowed him with a pair of eyes to see the world and came to an agreement with him. I agreed to let him live among the people above ground, but if the day ever came when he brought ruin to order, he would once again be sealed in the dark.
@@popinsock8091 as @Scatterblades said, Zhongli didn't create Azhdaha. He is an ancient being, most likely as ancient as Teyvat, so there's still a debate whether he is an original sovereign or a second coming like Neuvillette. Still, he was basically a Geo being living in the depths of the ground. Zhongli just freed him and gave him eyes, because, for some reason, Geo beings are usually blind.

@@senatuspopulusqueromanus2082You are right, it does 😮
Wars have probably started over less in real life.
The Toytanium mines is actually Inazuma. As the problems of the area is similar to Tatarasuna. The split island is similar to Musoujin Gorge. Wanderer also appears in this area with stories mirroring his even mini Durin’s wish
@@Ash-qd2ke it could be, but the fsct that the miners dug too much and caused the dragon's rage, is still too similar to Liyue, like the hidden town getting into the abyss is Khaenri'ah. Maybe they mixed the three nations in the broken sea, although the story of the Kingdom of Breezes and Bells does sound like Ei...
@@ShadowXImpact I think OP might be right on Inazuma. The overmining and inciting rage could be referencing overuse of crystal marrow and the Tatarigami, which you can consider to be Orobashi's "rage"
Here’s a thought, why can’t it be both?
The video claims that Constellation Metropole represents both Mondstat and Fontaine, so it could be that the edge of the toytainium mines, near the cliff, is Liyue, while the floating islands in the distance represent Inazuma.
It would also kinda fit with how Liyue Harbor and Inazuma are connected to each other by the sea, which in Simulanka is represented by a void of emptiness.
The floating islands are also kinda reminiscent of Inazuma cuz of how the big mining island in the “sea” is kinda split in two because of a major attack, just like that one island with Orobashi’s corpse on it.
@@richboywinston5097 the thing is that the tatarigami is a natural occurrence caused by Orobashi's death, it's not exactly something the people did to enrage the remains of the dead god.
But yeah, I'm starting to think that inazuma may also be represented in the broken sea, it wouldn't be too strange, considering how different nations have been mixed in Simulanka, though I still think the kingdom of Breezes and Bells also mirrors Inazuma
@@AnArtistInAVoid yeah, the broken sea can actually also represent Inazuma, I'm starting to feel like it makes sense, though I still believe the ancient princess in the kingdom of Breezes and Bells mirrors Ei, while the current one represents Mavuika
Yeah, this summer event feels like a goodbye to all the other summer events, I'm actually sad because seeing the beach makes me feel happy and calm, and this year's summer event took me to a pocket dimension without one :
@@jeoffreyauscia6841 yeah, next year, things might probably be very different. Although, differently from you, the mountains calm me down, so a summer event on Dragonspine, the perfect place to hint at Snezhnaya in the following update, is actually more in line with me XD
And to think that I have the beach at like 10min by car, but it's too hot for me...
Wdym it have some beaches. It ain't much, but still
Oooh I see what you're getting at, there was that room full of memorabilia of the previous events on the wish island...
@@Diamond1234 yeah, it feels like they're saying that this is the last summer event in a special place... We'll see next year, I guess, but I think we're getting a summer vacation on Dragonspine, which is okay, people do go on the mountains in summer to escape the heat. I would definitely do that!
The ‘goodbye’ feeling is strongest when my character was teleported to the hidden room where items from the past summer islands were stored.
By the way, I think the last patch for Natlan is 5.7.
The diluc scenes at the beginning look so pretty with this map
@@marieke884 yeah, it was actually a very beautiful map!
I like how you mention that the origins of life could very well be from the abyss, the inquisitors say "everything will return" when you defeat them. It's quite possible teyvat itself was created by re-ordering the structure of the abyss. So whoever created it (before the primordial one arrived) all lives could have started as unfulfilled dreams of some previous destruction now just semi-existing in the morass that is the abyss. That way rhinedotter was just doing more of what had already happened but in a way that had innate errors.
The abyss being toxic to both "light realm" and teyvat could just be the abyss reclaiming things to the chaos they were formed from.
Teyvat itself could have been formed literally from the elemental (light) realm's energy and the abyss's "matter"
@@Necrochaosium I'm not really sure what you mean by whoever created Teyvat before the Primordial One. What we know is that there's the old world, which should be a real world, most likely an actual planet, and the the Primordial One created a microcosm (probably above), which is Teyvat, composed by the abyss in one hemisphere and the inhabitable Teyvat in the other.
But I do agree, in some way, that what was the abyss, was reordered and turned into Teyvat, because the microcosm was flipped, so current Teyvat was rebuilt, using what was on the old world, in the hemisphere that, originally, was of the abyss, so the Primordial version of Teyvat created by the shades, ended up in the current abyss.
As for the abyss being toxic, I could get behind your theory, it could be trying to get back to its intended hemisphere
@@ShadowXImpact When in eukanomiya quests there spells it out that the abyss is toxic to teyvat natives and entities of the realm of light (elementals, dragons?) cant remember if it's in a text or something enjou or the snake priestess says.
@@Necrochaosium yeah, I remember that, I made a whole video about it. Still, it's toxic because it's like a negative but essential force to run the other half of the world, the positive half. Even though the light realm is not inside of Teyvat, the abyss is still a negative force, so it's toxic to them. It's like a powerplant: it gives energy, but it's still radioactive to the people of the earth and to hypothetical aliens
@@ShadowXImpact yeah fundamentally different like going into the void of space: no air, extremely low pressure, close to 0 degrees kelvin.
With how cutsie they’re making the summer event and Natlan teasers, makes me wonder how dark the 5.8 event and Snezhnaya will be.
@@GhostlyGhost333 yeah, we have a whole year to get ready to probably the darkest summer event of the game, with Durin's revival and Albedo facing his own life story... I just hope it doesn't become the saddest quest, too...

@@loredanarosimodesti4799 oh trust me, I also forgot a lot and I'm forced to re-watch tons of stuff.

@@celestia.. I think it's going to be Durin's revival I nice summer vacation on a snowy mountain, so dragonspine, which is the best place to give us hints about Snezhnaya, being an equally icy cold nation
What about...simulanka is a time-lapse of Khaenri'ahn history. The forest was what it has been prior to building a kingdom, then the city, and then the cataclysm.
@@johnb1145 i don't really think so. I mean, the fading disorder that affected the people and the land is too similar to Eleazar and the Withering. Plus, Khaenri'ah is an underground nation, while the forest is on the surface
Wow. You made me think of something! What if the reason we don't see the pyro traveler in the teaser is because this time our elemental power will come directly from the gnosis. So we won't unlock it until version 5.2-5.3. Something like the statue's power is sealed because the gnosis must first find its worthy owner
@@angelmarquez8470 many people have been thinking this, but I don't think it's going to happen. I think we will spent most of 5.0 raising Lil Buddy until he recognizes us, which will then unlock the Pyro element. The statues are connected to the dragons' authorities in Celestia, and the Saurians are segments of the fire dragon, so we probably just need to be recognized by them to be able to wield the power.
I mean, people would throw a tantrum (as always) if they didn't get the Pyro traveler in 5.0... These tantrums are like chains to the writers at this point. We are limiting their fantasy and writing....
You may have a point there. Let's just wait for the Livestream and see if we get more info about it

Amazing video! You cooked up another great theory, the whole thing about Natlantean citizens no longer caring about the tournament makes so much sense.
The whole reveal of Durin made me excited for Monstadt again. I wonder if we ever meet another of Rheindottirs creatures in Natlan, and if it will be as big as Durin and Elynas.
Time passes so fast (for me atleast) it's crazy that we're gonna visit Natlan in a few weeks. I swear Fontaine released 2 months ago for me 😂
@@Schnubi thank you, I'm happy you liked it!!!!

Trust me, I feel like Sumeru was just released, not just Fontaine. Time is flying very fast!!!!

@@mochiirebel3141 that's where it was????? No wonder I couldn't find it anymore. This map is getting too big to remember where everything is XD
Yes! It talks about how a descender is one who forsake themselves and goes into the abyss to rebirth, or something like that.
This event hints at the past of the three moon sisters. The forest world quest hints at the fact that Tevyat is stuck in a time loop. The Metropole world quest indicates that the truth of the history doesn't matter, only what we do next. Whereas the toytanium mines actually depicts the origin of the three moon sisters. Did they create the fake sky and the moon to guide lost humans to Tevyat? Getting transformed into flower when you go on a venture heavily indicates that humans are choosing to turn into hilichurls or something? I got the creeps when I saw them goddesses hang the lamp in the sky.
@@RKNancy it's constellation Metropole that is stuck in a loop, though.
Still, about the moons, we keep calling them the moon sisters, but that's what a novel tells us, it's not a recount of real events, so for all we know, the moons can simply be moons, objects created for a purpose, not necessarily living beings. I mean, the moons died, but one of the dead ones is in the sky, while the other is in Khaenri'ah. The "living" one is in the abyss. More than "died", I think we should say that they lost their purpose, their utility maybe, but we say that they died because it's more convenient and easier to understand.
As for the people, I don't think anyone is willingly turning into a hilichurl really. Even the ventures, not all of them decided to transform, it's just that one guy that decided to.
When then moon was created, honestly, I had the opposite feeling, I was happy to see it!
actually makes sense if this is the last summer event cause I would expect 5.8 being the start of the "end game"
@@TheAngelChaz well, I actually came to a conclusion after I uploaded the video, which is basically still what I already said, but better.
5.8 will. Probably still be a summer event, but a different one completely.
The next nation is Snezhnaya, an icy cold place, so what would be the best place for a summer event that hints at this new nation? Dragonspine, a summer event on the mountains. I mean, people do go to the mountain in summer, it's not just the beach. So 5.8 will also see Durin's revival, probably

For the part of Goddess that creates teyvat, Venti said something interesting in the manga :
"Pangu gave his Blood to form the rivers and seas, The Gods sacrificed Purusha and cut his body to pieces, and then fashioned all living beings with those parts. The brain of the giant Ymir became clouds, their sacrifices seeded life in the unending cosmos, thses songs sing of the Primeval Ones." It's ofc, a poetic song, but something might be hinted about the creation of Teyvat.
@@Scatterblades yeah, it sounds like the Primordial One creating the shades, who then created the world and the living beings, but in an extremely poetic fashion. What this has always made me think about, is how Venti knows about the Primordial One, an entity current Teyvat isn't supposed to know, but then again, Venti is easily the sussiest of them all
Oh, you recalling that makes me think that my theory could be somewhat true! Going by mexica mythology influence in Natlan, there is a passage about the creation of the world (I don't remember the exact cycle, but could be the 5th) where Quetzalcóatl with his brother Tezcatlipoca killed the monster deity Cipactli/Tlaltecuhtli who lived in the primordial waters, using it's body to form the earth and the sky; as a way to honor it's death and pain, the primordial god and goddess made from it's eyes the rivers flow and from her corpse flowers and plants to grow.

@@lathamtk it's finally ou!!! Careful in the last chapter, the music suddenly gets a little louder, not too much though

About this event: I appreciate the rewards... but it doesn't feel like a vacation at all.
That's right, that sums it up perfectly.
@@aelfycarcini3992 well, to be fair, they never said in the game, that it was a vacation like the other three summer events
@@ShadowXImpact Ok, that's true. In fact they could well be adjusting to new, perhaps darker, narrative dynamics to come.
I hope Genshin might not be a dream 😭 I hate the part in Kirara story quest because they hinted something
@@PsychoTomYTofficial I mean.... I think we just have to accept it at this point... I hate it too, because it can lead to a ton of different endings, among which my most hated kind of endings, that the people will entirely forget about the traveler when they wake up...
which part or which dialogue to be precise?
@@Gardelux it's not just one dialogue that hints at Teyvat being a sort of dreamscape reality, something like Penacony. I think the first ever hint was the Shogun's trailer "waking world you seem woven from the stuff of dreams. All shall fade away". From then on, there have been tons of hints everywhere.
Maybe I should just make a video about Teyvat being a dreamscape and look for all of them...
It would take a very long time though, considering I would have to read the dialogues of every single quest so far, every book, every note, EVERYTHING!
@@Gardelux the part were in kirara's story quest when we solving questions from mysterious person this mysterious person asks 6 questions i think 🤔 and we select each dialogues and one of the dialogues tells it.
@@ShadowXImpact you should make one about it 😁 can't wait for the lore
When I discovered that study with the call backs to the previous summer events, I got all giddy. Like you I wasn't hear for the first Summer event (I started playing the game during 2.1).
I enjoy videos like these btw, they help me find things I may have missed.
As exciting as it would be to have the real Durin back, Hoyo is going to have to do a great job of explaining HOW that would work gameplay wise. Durin's Heart and body are physical parts of Dragonspine. So I have a hard time seeing an actual physical change to that location. Hmmmm, then again there have been World Quests when locations physically change in the course of playing them. We'll just have to wait and see.
@@Zodia195 yeah, that room was really nice. It gives you that feeling of being part of this game, because you remember those objects, they have a story that you witnessed, you were there basically XD
Yeah, I make videos also for this reason. People usually don't re-watch entire quests, read three or four times the dialogues, explore every crack in the wall, but it's something I like to do, so it's nice when this becomes something useful for others!
So, yeah, there is a chance that dragonspine will change like Deshret's Mausoleum, the tower of Ipsissimus or, even better, the girdle of the sands that became a completely different place, but there's also a chance that nothing drastic may happen on Dragonspine. Durin's heart is gaining vitality, not his body. Unlike Elynas, Durin is all bones, there's no actually body that can revitalize so the heart may simply create a new body for the dragon, leaving everything as it is, except for the cave where the heart is, because it would disappear from there. But still, I do think they'll change Dragonspine, it's something they're clearly capable of. We'll see what they decide, probably in 5.8! XD
watching after 5.1. damn the prediction mostly happened... (of course not all)
@@travelerscramine well, if I got all of it right, I wouldn't be making theories but divination videos XD
OMG! So I'm NOT the only one who couldn't experience the story of GAA 1 back at 1.6 because the map had already updated to post story when I started playing Genshin again(and I played it on the third day of the event)! Everyone was calling me crazy and delusional for that! I'm glad to know I'm NOT the only one who was unfortunate enough to miss that event!
@@ChromaLuke youtube didn't send me a notification, that's why I'm replying after 2 days, but yeah, you're not the only one. I started playing when I heard Lilypichu voiceacted a character in the game, so I downloaded it out of curiosity, but at that point, it was too late for the event!
15:00 Wasn't the third shade revealed in Fontaine's Wings of Merciful, Wrathful Waters as the Shade of Life? "When that first heart was removed, the envoy of Celestia, the leader upon whose shoulders lay the duty to create life, came to the great primeval sea, and there she created another heart." It's heavily implied that this envoy is a Shade who took over the role of the former dragon and helped create the first Hydro Archon Egeria, who ended up weeping and committing the sin of human creation. I think it's pretty likely that the Shade would be this third representation since she seems closely tied to the wishes of living creatures, given how the Shade's creation Egeria wanted more for the Oceanids.
@@heyzilla2479 no, the way I see it, it's probably susty at this point, the shade who created life according to Simulanka, who created Egeria so that she (Egeria, not the shade) would be an artificial dragon to take over the Primordial Sea and make it work, because it seems it's useless without a water dragon. Then, when Egeria committed her sin, Celestia (so she shade of Fate) went to Fontaine (because it used to be above dragonspine) and cursed the people of Fontaine because they deviated from the paths she wrote for them
@@ShadowXImpactsusty is the shade of space/void
@@Pre4xes_ and yet, it doesn't seem like it, especially when we know nothing about her, apart from the fact that she looks like Kiana, who is the Herrscher of Void. Different game with similar characters, not same ones
You mentioned that capitano is a shadow, but I don't think that's true. In the teaser for natlan you can see the outline of his face (nose) and mika mentioned in his character story 4 that capitano has eerily dark blue eyes. I saw on reddit a random comment that said it would be cool of he was Kevin Kaslana from honkai 3. He also has blue eyes and in Aethers and Lumines character card we see the K. k. inital (could also stand for Kallen)
@@leafrek yeah, I know, that's what I meant by a shadow. I enhanced the image of his profile and talked about his blue eyes in my previous Natlan video. He is completely pitch black, like a shadow
I hope his face is never shown at all. Alsoo I haven't gonw through the whole video yet but I wonder if the champion frog who lost his confidence is mirroring Capiano "not being brave enough to compete" in the ignition teaser
Wow I never noticed the fact that the lands are the nations. Like the fact that there is one called Kingdom of Breezes and Bells did kinda remind me of Mond but all summer events lead to Mond somehow so
I do like the theory about the gnosis cuz yeah, if they get the gnosis, traveler would just go to Snezhnaya.
Also I have a question that is sorta related to the summer event, and that is the fact that apparently Childe does not show up in the IT lobby if you have finished act 4 of Fontaine and I was wondering if it’s related to his fate as Ajax since he is named after him and is technically fighting his constellation during act 4
@@BlueDaisy33 yeah, Simulanka representing the nations was what hit me pretty instantly when I heard about the Fading Disorder, but also Paimon basically says that Constellation Metropole looks like Fontaine.
And abiut the gnosis, I mean, the Fatui can't win all the time, it's our turn for once! XD
As for Childe, I don't think I understood the question. What's the IT Lobby?
Still, I don't think he's going to die like Ajax from mythology. Yes, he fought the Narwhal, which is also his constellation, but they are not the same thing, he didn't destroy his own stars, so he's just recuperating after the absurd fight
@@ShadowXImpact oh sorry im talking about Imaginarium (?) theater the new endgame, I don’t know if you have played it yet so im not sure if I should explain
@@BlueDaisy33 I did play it, but the people in the lobby are those you already own and pick to help in the fight. I don't have Childe, so he can't appear to begin with...
I'm just bad with acronyms, we don't use them in Italy this much, so it takes me a long time to figure out what they are. When I started, it took me a month to figure it that PO was the Primordial One XD
@@BlueDaisy33 I checked the wiki, he has voice overs, but the fsct that he doesn't appear if you played act 4 isn't written anywhere, and I can't even check it on my own, because I don't have him...
If he doesn't appear after act 4, it's weird. I mean, if it's related to his fight with the narwhal, then he shouldn't be pickable at all, right?
@@ShadowXImpact exactly but ppl checked and apparently he just stops showing up after starting act 4 of Fontaine and then some CN players apparently said it’s because of story reasons which like, makes it more confusing since he is the only character that doesn’t show up and ppl have vids of him if they haven’t done that act yet
I think Faurobert and Caribert having the same name suffix could be significant, considering the "cave of eerie murmurs" could be metaphorical for the abyss, which we should be going into during the Natlan archon questline
I was specifically pondering if the champion and princess whole line of quests is actually a hint to Natlan's AQ or not since the devs specifically asked our opinion about them in the survey and it felt very much so, for it talks about nations fallen and risen and seem to feature some beings encapsulated within dark cave.
The point about Mavuika goading Capitano so the two of them be recognized as champion and fully walked on their own path or fate is really interesting as it somewhat may mirror Cimest and Faurobert. Capitano leaving the Fatui would definitely be an interesting twist and I could really see that happening as a way for us to wait for 8 more patches before reaching Snezhnaya XD
All in all, thank you for sharing your thoughts! I enjoyed watching the video a lot.
@@Aozora210 thank you, I'm happy you liked it!!!
It won't be long now, we're finally about to know what's going to happen in Natlan!
I hope I got at least something right XD
I did also sorta get the feeling that this might be the final Summer event. I’ve had thoughts related to the events version 5.0 onwards for a while now, but since Natlan’s so close those thoughts have been going into overdrive. Like what’s gonna happen after the Archon Quest of Natlan is over? What fills that gap between Natlan and Snezhnaya in the schedule? Will we get Mont Esus before 6.0? Would it be appropriate to return to other regions after Snezhnaya has already begun (meaning after Snezhnaya’s Archon Quest but before any Khaenri’ah or Celestia stuff). Will Snezhnaya’s Archon Quest be 6 or more acts long to fill the time? What even IS 7.0? I’ve had and lots of questions for a while now and they only increase with each version.
I think there’s a very strong possibility that Fontaine was the last “normal” region release, and from here on out the story and content will increasingly be related to the end the finale. This could also entail not having a Summer event next year, or at least having a very different kind of Summer event. It also makes me wonder what Lantern Rite will be like in the next couple of years. Natlan will probably still have enough normalcy for a Lantern Rite to not feel too out of place, but Snezhnaya’s Lantern Rite seems like it would take place AFTER the Archon Quest based on the way the schedule usually works out, even if Snezhnaya has like 7 acts. That feels extremely odd to me. I honestly wouldn’t be too shrouded if Snezhnaya’s story went the Honkai Impact 3rd route and took place over many more versions that were used to in Genshin, going all the way up to the mid-to-late 6.X versions.
A more recent thought I’ve had is related to the Traveler’s lack of Pyro in that teaser. The Traveler appears to be Pyro in the manga (and in their character icon). Since they’re speaking to Venti about Vennessa in the manga, maybe that was a glimpse of Carmen Dei Chapter Act 2 or some other Venti-related story from 5.X all along? It wouldn’t be the first time they played the long game teasing a future in-game event with a manga scene (Honkai moment).
What about the Sumeru's event quest with the novel ?
(Your video is amazing by the way. Thanks for making it !!!)
@@izusmallmight8953 thank you!! I'm happy you liked the video!!
As for that quest... What even was that? How did that make sense with Simulanka?
Still, it feels like they tried, in an awful way, to tell us that the first person we met is actually the culprit, so we just need to decide whether it's Paimon, so the first character we saw as we started playing the game, Venti, the first playable character we met when we started playing the game, or maybe Susty, the first character we saw as we opened the game for the first time entirely...
I was honestly so confused by that quest....
Or dainsleif maybe?@ShadowX5452Gaming
@@le1660 but we met him way later, he's definitely not among the first ones we've met
@@ShadowXImpact Probably Susty then. Although Paimon and Venti have always seemed sus. (I'd be heartbroken if the final villain was Venti, though).
@@izusmallmight8953 it's not like Venti and Paimon seem sus, they definitely are!!! XD
I do hope they won't go for that kind of twist in the story, it would be sad, I agree. If it's Susty, instead, then it could be that my theory that the shades are not the actually the good guys, is right.
I hope Natlan will tell us more about them. They hinted at Celestia in Simulanka, so that could mean that it's finally time to learn more about it
One interesting idea I've heard is that the empty area that came out along side Petrichor might be empty because its going to change at some point, since theres no point in placing chests or challenges in a spot that might change in the future. Of course if the reason for its change is Durin then I would imagine that Dragonspine would change, so either Hoyo will just move things around, or Durin will create a new body somehow, or we'll get a different map changing event for that empty spot.
It would be pretty sad if this is the last summer event but it would make sense. By the end of Natlan the Tsaritsa will have all the gnosis, project Stuzha might be enacted and we still have Harbingers to get through. I don't think they'll shelve all fun events like lantern rite and maybe windblume, but they might start firing things up in the middle or near the end of the Natlan patch to get us ready for 6.0. But that's just what I think, I hope they give the Fatui plotline a lot of breathing room.
@@krys9463 so, the area around Petrichor is empty because Remuria used to be part of the elevated island, but broke off and sank to the bottom of the sea. That being said, I would love if they added something, because that emptiness is just disarming...
As for Durin, I think there are just two options: either his entire body comes back to life, so the area will change entirely, which isn't that bad of a choice to be honest, or his heart will create a new body, so nothing will change in the area apart from the cave where the heart is.
Although I said that this may have been the last summer event, I meant it as the last summer event in a place Alice own, in a domain of some sorts. 5.8 could be a summer event on the mountains, so on Dragonspine, which is the perfect place to hint at Snezhnaya, being frozen. I for one prefer the mountains in summer rather than the beach, because I can't handle the heat, so summer doesn't necessarily mean the sea.
By the way, if the Tsaritsa got the Pyro gnosis, that would happen in 5.3, not at the end of Natlan, not even halfway through version 5, so it wouldn't make sense, as I said in the video, staying in Natlan for 5 more updates while perfectly knowing that the Tsaritsa has everything she needs for her plan. That's why I think we will keep the gnosis this time.
They will definitely not shelve the usual yearly events, that would be a very bad choice, but I do agree that things and lore will start escalating like never before, especially because we are heading toward the end of the game, and they have a lot to explain still, both for 6.0 and for 7.0 in Khaenri'ah, and who knows, maybe a 8.0?
Coming late since I did not want to spoil myself on the summer event until I'm done here. Thanks for it, I loved it as always! I think your predictions are way too bold for most of them to come true but we'll see about that. It's fun to imagine.
@@kasuha I'm happy you liked it!!
Still, it's a theory, if I knew what was gonna happen for sure, it wouldn't have been, but I have to say, some of my bold claims in the past about the Archon quests, with way less info, turned out to be right, so now we just have to wait an see!
So i have finished your video and wow im flabergasted !!
You are a genuice, everything is so spoted and make so sense !!
@@Sacration XD i hope you'll like it!
That was amazing as always honestly!!
I actually have not many things to say cause I agree with almost everything in this video!@@ShadowXImpact
I also want to point out that Neuvillette basically confirmed that Names are very important and holds fate. Thats why he doesnt disclose his own. And Simulanka really reaffirms that.
Now the implications for people like Fischl, Ajax Raiden, Albedo and Prime Albedo are crazy. I wonder what hoyo has in store for us.
@@Sacration oh this nation is going to be way crazier than we all expected, and I can't wait for it!
As for Neuvillette, I'm still waiting for them to tell us... I hope it's in his second story quest, I kinda want to confirm if he's Charybdis....
Imagine if you arrive at the simulanka from the beginning
But you meet almond from the first place
Then, from the teyvat from the very beginning
You arrive at mondstadt and you meet amber from the very beginning.
Then, you arrive the forest of blessing which is the first you travel in simulanka and they have the tavern
Mondstad have a tavern, and it was there trending recommendation for that.
Thanks for the video! This is just a hot take/wild guess, but what if you are right in us not having another summer event because we will instead have a winter event, perhaps in dragonspine or something of that sort? It would have to be in 5.3 or something like that, rather than 5.8. Just a wild speculation.
@@levshifrin2216 I'm happy you liked it!!!
I mean, people do go to the mountains on vacation in summer, I actually prefer the mountains to the see (even though it's like 10min away from my house) because I can't bear the summer heat.
Plus, now that I think about it, 5.8 would be the summer event before Snezhnaya, so a frozen mountain would be the perfect setting to hint at the new, icy cold nation
I think the three lands are represented by all the nations that had a summer event before them, inazuma, sumeru, and fontaine. All the characters from these regions, Navia, Scara and Nilou match that description. It also makes sense why Lyiue and Mondstadt are not there bc they were at the start of the game and didn't have a summer event preceding them. In that manner there is a pattern and it makes your bad omen of this summer event being an ode or a goodbye to all the summer events prior even more accurate.
But it could also be that all the nations are represented somehow, I don't see such strong representation in Lyiue and Monsdadt mainly bc there are no characters from these regions in the story, and the chasm representing entire Lyiue feels weird to me, while all the regions in the event had correlations in the story to their nations, like in fontaine "not real people" or in sumeru - withering zones. Tho maybe ther are represented by the smaller quests, as we have main 3 quests and 2 smaller ones which would correspond to 5 nations in total.
Whatever's the case this is def ending some sort of chapter, its like a framing device. This and the rumors about war coming from Ei and all the stuff in Natlan makes me soooo excited for lore coming :3
I have a similar theory about natlan main difference being that xbalanque stole the power from pyro sovereign which was the primal fire but xbalanque couldn't withstand the fire or may also have been injured so he died some time later then mavuika took the mantle and decided to resurrect him? Or maybe she might resurrect the sovereign?since simulanka hints towards the resurrection of durin which also had the body of a dragon well this is my theory for now let's see
@@osmial but isn't Xbalanque "entombed" with primal fire? That sounds like he's been sealed with it, rather than being dead.
Unless it's the name of the original pyro Archon... In that case, "he" would be a woman in reality as well, but it would mix your an my theory together
@@osmial and there's also the fact that Xbalanque hinted at the revival of a dragon as something dangerous. He meant the water dragon, but Neuvillette turned out to be a good guy, but probably Xbalanque speaks from experience, so because of the fire dragon, which also fits with Natlan being ok with the Saurians, but not with ancient dragons, probably out of fear of whatever happened in the past, happening again if their dragon were to be resurrected
@@ShadowXImpact yeah he is "entombed" with primal fire is mainly why i think he or someone else may have stole it but if someone else did then xbalanque may have defeated that guy then took the power and tried his best that sovereign is not revived again since as you said the dragon may have done some big number on people
And considering your theory 3 types of story of dragons azdaha got sealed neuvillette got his power seized and was mainly mistaken for a bad guy but one thing is certain that humans did a number on both dragons azdaha directly got harmed through leylines while neuvillette faced discrimination
So i think it would be a mix for pyro sovereign humans in the past that did something to him or his people he got angry and because he may have turned some humans into ashes he became a bad guy for humans and gods alike then being defeated or killed i think it is highly likely that the volcano stores his heart or body since primal fire right now blessed xbalanque
Also xbalanque speaking like that for dragons might be because how much discrimination and false allegations they have faced and he knows the truth of the world if simulanka is anything to go buy i think the primordial one is actually not in teyvat now same goes for phanes whenever we might go to the land above maybe we just see the figures of past talking about the fate fo traveler and we meet a lone god challenging us like how it went similarly for aponia
18:17 i thought all three of the moon sisters died but one of their corpses still remains in the sky
@@alyx6828 no, two died, the one in the sky and the one in Khaenri'ah, while the only living one is in the abyss
I've watched almost the entire video, but at this point I have so much to say so, I'm gonna leave my first thoughts. Don't think it will be a short comment cus' the video is long (which I love) and contains crazy details.
First of all, that's exactly why I said this event has HUGE lore references, literally in the first dialogue they drop moons and witches lore. Many people thought that this event was a chill one, but man... it was dense 😵 (in a good way of course)
I'm totally agree with that feeling, it really seems like something huge is about to happen with the summer events, and doesn't looks good.
I LOVED the power of name's theory, never thought about it, and really makes sense. Specially because I have a little crazy theory that the siblings are close related with phanes.
THIRD, As we talked before, we have different POV's about Phanes and it shades, I'm still think that they're 5 beings: SUN (Phanes), 3 MOONS (three goddess) and the DARK SUN (a shade who keeps or rules the entrance to temptation, the abyss). Mainly because shades are "SHINNING shades", moons doesn't bright with their own light sooo, it must be a principal, the SUN. I'm just sharing my pov, of course your theory is totally feasible, I do because it's so fun to share and talk this kind of things. 💕
4. (I'm sorry hahaha) I saw the last part of the map as literally Teyvat's edge (excluding the 3 goddesses floating island), the mission title was suspicious to me ("until the end of the world"), this isn't the only argument but, speaking of Teyvat's edges, I think that the continent is surrounded entirely by the DARK SEA, this should be the perfect excuse to explain why no one knows that Teyvat is flat.
5. (last one, sorry again 😂) Love how you mention north Fontaine because, as we talked weeks ago, there is a huge part of the story that hasn't been told yet, my theory is still the same, North Fontaine will be Mt. Esus and Aremori's ruins (and probably Arcadia), here we'll find the truth about Egeria, Erinias and the goddess of creation.
Now I'm gonna watch the last part of the video hahaha
@@strivyus you clearly didn't check the other comments if you think this one is long XD
I don't know who could have ever thought this event to be chill! It was a lore bomb of absurd magnitudes!
The name theory is just getting more and more real by the second!
As for the shades, you basically inadvertently confirmed what I say. Before sun and moon says thelat the Primordial One created 4 shades, and if they're shining, that only means that the Primordial One is their "sun"
Yeah, the last map looked like the end of the world Lumine told us, but I didn't really have enough to go for it, so I didn't talk about it. Maybe one day I'll make a video about the flat Teyvat theory, even though I've already talked about it in other videos.
As for the dark sea, I simply think it's a domain, where the golden apple Archipelago are. I mean, we can't see Celestia and we've always got there through strange means, never with a regular expedition by sea...
Yeah, north Fontaine will be about Egeria and Erinnyes for sure, even though we know exactly where Egeria is right now. I hope it's Furina's second story quest, maybe she will want to know Focalors's origins better, which will have to lead her to Egeria, since she chose her directly.
Enjoy the rest of the video!
I was quite pleased with it but shocked that we got no furnishings or music scrolls from the area.
@@probably_afk we didn't get furnishings? Wait, yeah, we did get at least one, it's a green paper crown kind of thing
@@ShadowXImpact I mean yeah.. we got like a few as rewards like the figurine stand (no one will use).. I'm just comparing to last year. There were green chests all over the place. And the music is the second and third zones was so nice it's a shame to never hear it again.
according to Mika character story 4, he has seen Capitano and said that Capitano has dark blue eyes so Capitano is armor theory is dead in a ditch
@@motemo8413 yes, I know, I talked about it in my ignition analysis. This doesn't change the fact that he is still a shadow, he's pitch black, so he's definitely not a regular person, which still makes me think that he is dead. Just because he has a shape, doesn't mean that he's still alive...
Very interesting read of the event! Love the name theory. I wonder what would happen if someone were to call the traveler by their name
@@MrsFoolforlove thank you!!! I really don't think anyone is capable of using the traveler's name, there's no fate for that name, so it probably doesn't exist at all. On the other hand, and if I'm right, then if someone were to say the real traveler's name, then that person is probably unbound by fate in some way.
Now that I think about it, maybe Neuvillette has some chance at knowing and saying his name...
@@ShadowXImpactoh wow that sounds so scary almost. Now I want this theory to be true!!

The thing is if the teyvat is a dreamspace then wanderer would be the one to awaken the people of teyvat
The readon is evety other person in the first 3 parts have rolls that is reflected in teyvat navia is the king and she is the boss of spina kirara is the puss in boots she is a nekomata which is similiar to a cat nilou is harder to know but i think its because shes a hydro vision vielder hydro is water and without water thete isnt life but the odd one out is wanderer he is the hero in simulanka but a vilian in teyvat simulanja is reflected to teyvat so it would make sense for wanderer to be the one to wake up everyone in 1.1 event he is the first to learn in teyvat that the sky's of teyvat is fake and if he does that he would be the "hero of teyvat" i mean it was revealed in as back as 1.1 event.
@@OmerIleli-ve3zj or, simply, just as the four character that ended up in Simulanka represent something that also exists in Teyvat, Wanderer represents the traveler, the hero of the world, the one that can change fate because he's a descender.
By the way, Scaramouche is not the first one to learn about the fake sky, the people of Tsurumi Island knew it before the Envoy Age, so before they came out of their underground cave and went to the surface. They literally wrote it on one of the murals, I made a video about it almost at the beginning of this channel
@@ShadowXImpact I skipped tsurumi also thanks for corecting
I have a theory. Mavuika will be, gameplay wise, the equivalent of a pyro archon (like furina is for hydro).
But I think this time the gnosis will go to the traveler.
First, this will finally make him a meta character.
Second, it will break the usual stale trend of "gnosis goes to fatui".
Third, and most importantly: the pyro gnosis is the last one the tsaritsa needs. The moment she gets it, she won. The only thing that can keep things on the edge until we visit sneznaya is if the traveler has the gnogis. This would also allow a stand off between her and the traveler since pyro can counter cryo.
@@xanderx3788 yeah, the gnosis theory is the same as mine, I did say it in the last chapter of the video, but I don't think Mauvika is going to lose her archonhood like Furina, that would be a repetition. An Archon can still be an Archon even without their gnosis, like Venti, Zhongli, Ei and Nahida, so Mavuika doesn't really need to give up on her position. That being said, I still think she's not an Archon yet, and we're going to finally witness the making of one, the last occurrence we haven't witnessed yet
@@ShadowXImpactFurina is Focalor morality half that was spirt off for her grand plan to save Fontaine by having her human half act like an archon
@@Josh-qt5zi so? She still lost her archonhood in the end, her divinity entirely actually, while in Natlan, Mavuika most likely hasn't become an Archon yet, she's just a God of Fire, and we will see her ascension, probably in 5.2
It's time to give my controversial take. I think the toy people are hillichurls in the normal world. That is people that forgot who they are because of some sin they did in the past.
Xianyun explains that Yuandai would have turned and I quote "monstrous being with no recollection of herself" The toy people all mine which is something Hillichurls are doing in the real world. Why they are doing this is most likely explained at the very end of the game, but it has to do with finding Jade.
The lighthouse quest obviously is an allegory for traveling to Celestia and coming back doubting the human form. The lightkeeper instead thinks he needs to be a plant to have a purpose, this is very close to what Melusines experience with their token and there is some form of connection. The Melusine's basically become a form of Oceanid and some of the peoples ambitions are impregnated into their soul. Something similar happened to the Hillichurls
Finally Durin' being tied to Scara is very interesting since Scara technically was reborn, which is something that is likely to happen to Durin. What that basically means is that Scara could have the same connection to Durin like Childe has to the Narwhal. If I am correct special beasts guard the constellations in the firmament basically ensuring that fate stays the same. Nicole mentions that fate is almost impossible to change in Theyvat, but that a god could stand a chance it could mean that Scaramouche journey has just begun. This means that Scaras destiny mirrors Durin's and that he might have the final key to release Rhinedottir who most likely is inside the heart of naberius which explains why Albedo has devoted his life to research Dragonspine since Rhinedottir technically is his mother
@@alexanderericson8628 I do agree that the hilichurls are people who forgot, or better yet, were deprived of their memories (which is Teyvat are basically people's souls), so they turned into monsters, but I don't see the connection with the toy people.
The hilichurls dig the ground, they don't really mine, they're just looking for something, and usually there's a chest where they're digging, so it could just be that they feel something's underground and they want to get it.
I don't understand what you mean by traveling to Celestia and doubting the human form. The venturers didn't go to the whispering isle, they went to other worlds entirely, and that changed them. One of these venturers (not the lightkeeper) decided to become a flower to have a purpose, and again, I don't understand the connection you made with the Melusine becoming a form of Oceanid.
I think the connection between Scaramouche and Durin is way simpler. Scaramouche was given a second (well third actually) chance at life and he decided to repent for his actions, which is why he's going to be important to Durin: he's coming back to life (a third chance as well) and Scaramouche will be his guide toward redemption.
As for monsters guarding the constellations, I have my doubts. The narwhal didn't guard any constellation. Childe's constellation is a narwhal simply because the narwhal is connected to his fate.
As for Rhinedottir, why would she be imprisoned in the heart of Naberius?? She went all over Teyvat with Albedo to look for it, and when she found it, she took it, told Albedo to find the truth about the world and left. She's not in any kind of prison, definitely not inside the heart. Albedo is researching simply because Rhinedottir told him to, because she's technically his mother.
@@ShadowXImpact I try to explain. The melusines are a creation of the explosion inside Elynas were mechanical gear from the ocean which was impregnated with the wishes of other peoples dreams so the Melusines inherit the dissolved peoples dreams. This is my best guess. As for the toy people no I do not think the Hillichurls are mining for random treasures they are looking for something more specific. They never stop and they look obsessed it's much closer to the miners in Zhonglis story quest.
The Narwhal jumps through Childes constellation which is the reason why it breaks in the firmament. Now you could say that is an accident but that seems very unlikely. One route they can take is that Childe eventually becomes the Narhwal so it's himself pleading for help that he hears inside the abyss this theory is bolstered by the man we meet inside the Narhwal that has clear resemblances with Childe himself. If they go that route which I believe they can. Scaras connection with Durin could be something similar since Scara is the person that first discovers at least that we meet in game that the sky is fake. It therefore makes sense that he also is able to get rid of his constellation fate. Once that happens both Childe and Scara are able to make their own choices there is nothing in game that can prove that Scara made any choice thus far. It could be that Hoyo means that jumping into Irminsul was Scara's own choice but that is not confirmed it can just as easily be fate.
@@ShadowXImpact Well I do think Rhinedottir is imprisoned because of the simple reason that we haven't seen or heard that she's been anywhere. She revived Elynas yes but that was thousand of years ago no evidence that she is alive today yet. Alice only appears in the form of an object this could suggest that she too is imprisoned. In the Hexenzirkel teaser we see that they liked to appear as objects, one was a candle, and Alice appeared as a lamp. Why thou was never explained but if they felt the need to do that while they were meeting each other well something is off with that. The only hexenzirkel member besides Alice is N who actually spoken to us and she has an ability to speak in peoples minds probably from very far away. All of this suggests that they are either imprisoned or unable to change form. This remind me of the crane that forgot how to transform back into a human.
@@alexanderericson8628 you do remember that Klee (and Jean and, I think, Albedo) told us Alice left with her husband for a mission far away, right? Just because we didn't meet them yet and they have a symbol, doesn't mean that they have to be imprisoned and unable to move... I mean, the Harbingers have been around as just symbols for a while before they were shown, and they weren't inprosoned at all, we just needed to wait for their introduction video or to just meet them. The same applies to the witches.
Also, the Yuandai can't go back to her human form, because she gave up on her human memories, but the witches didn't, they have their memories
@@alexanderericson8628 no, wait, the Melusines were born from the pieces of the Meks present during the explosion, and Elynas used them (probably because they're imbued with Pneuma-Ousia annihilation) to give birth to the Melusines.
As for the hilichurls, we can't know for now. It is strange that they are digging for something, but it could simply be thst those specific hilichurls used to be work in the Azosite, so they're just doing what they used to do out of habit.
The thing is that the narwhal didn't break any firmament, we were in the Primordial Sea, not in the sky. I doubt Childe would become the narwhal, because they are cosmic beings that destroy planets. The being inside doesn't look like Childe, it's more like Childe received his powers from the narwhal, so Childe got his appearance as a consequence.
The people from tsurumi island discovered that the sky is fake, and we're talking about an unspecified amount of thousands of years... Scaramouche knew about the sky, because he's part of the Fatui, so it's most likely Pierro who told him, being a Khaenri'ahn mage and all.
Scaramouche didn't really get rid of his constellation, he's still a puppet. Even if he turned into a human, his constellation wouldn't change, because that's who he originally was, it's his life story.
I believe Irminsul already figured out that Scaramouche was trying to erase himself, that was a predetermined fate, I think I said that before in one or two of my videos
There’s a possibility that Capitano will leave us with the Gnosis because Tartaglia and Arlechino trust us enough for it since we are able to keep it safe from harm… it’s likely because the project is still in development and they need to ready themselves before they use all gnosis
@@JoshuaA1307 although Childe and Arlecchino do trust us, they still brought back the gnoses. Well... Not that Childe ever completed his missions...
The Harbingers exist to obtain the gnoses and give them to the Tsaritsa, and the traveler opposes her. Giving us the gnosis wouldn't mean keeping it from harm, it would be an obstacle to the Tsaritsa's plans.
That's why I think Capitano may leave the Fatui, because that would justify him giving us the gnosis and going against the Tsaritsa
@@ShadowXImpact true but I always had a nagging feeling that the Gnosis would be a target of the Abyss Order… likely hoping to corrupt a reincarnation of the 3rd descender. Perhaps we would be entrusted with the gnosis in order to prevent the Abyss from stealing all gnosis at once until they where sure that they had the go-ahead to perform the resurrection
After Capitano has helped Mavuika, he would get the pyro gnosis from her, just like how Neuvillette gave the hydro gnosis to Arlecchino after she helped him.
@@andrinaleong4079 so the traveler will be perfectly aware that the Tsaritsa has all 7 gnoses, so her plan to defeat the Heavenly Principles is finally ready to begin, but he will spend 5 more updates going around Natlan instead of heading straight to Snezhnaya? This is the main reason why I think we will keep the gnosis, otherwise there would be nothing justifying the traveler staying in Natlan
@@ShadowXImpact Well … if archon quest ends at 5.3 and that is when Mavuika gives the traveler the gnosis, Natlan is half gone if it ends at 5.7.
@@andrinaleong4079 I mean, whether it ended in 5.2 or in 5.3 as it will, nothing really changes, but apart from that, if Mavuika gives us the gnosis, then we don't really need to go to Snezhnaya as fast as we can, the Tsaritsa can't proceed with her plan because she would be missing a gnosis, and she can only get it when we decide to go there (and I think we will give it to her voluntarily, but that's another topic entirely)
@@ShadowXImpact but traveler staying in each nation was never about the gnosis anyway, also even if capitano got the gnosis, doesnt mean he immediately go back, it might take some time, and tsaritsa also could be needing some time to prepare whatever ritual or something
@@yzy8638 yes, staying in a nation has never been about the gnoses because we knew that the Tsaritsa didn't have all of them, so there was no urgency whatsoever. If Capitano brings back the Pyro Gnosis instead, she would have all of them. Considering we, as the traveler, think the Tsaritsa is evil and she's going to do something awful once she gets all the gnoses, why would we stay in Natlan and enjoy the place instead of running after Capitano, hoping to find and stop him before he got to Snezhnaya?
Even if the Tsaritsa needed time to prepare for whatever she wants to do, that still wouldn't justify us staying in Natlan, if anything that would be an even stupider thing. We would still have time to stop her before she could actually go forward with her plan, we could use the time she needs to get ready to stop her before that happens
more important lore in a limited event. wow
@@karkador yeah, but still, they do need to make people want to play the game, so I can't really blame them, to be honest. I mean, the game is already completely free...
I haven't gone through the whole video yet but I really wonder if the champion frog without confidence is a mirror image of capitano not being brave enough to compete
@@vichoe4589 well, considering 4 hours have passed since the comment, I suppose you already found out that I did say just that in the video. The bravest, strongest, most accomplished Harbinger, may actually have doubt about his strength and abilities
We do know kind if what happened to Gold. Skirk said she was "attempting perfection", along with Surtalogi. So she's definitely not dead.
Another thing to point out, is that Durin coming back to life isn't reincarnation. It's resurrection, so the reincarnated dragon rules may not apply to him. Him not remembering would be due attributed to some form of corruption. Particularly Abyssal corruption, as his blood is Abyss-y itself. His blood brought back the Frostbearing Tree, so if he's revived in corruption, he could be corrupted himself, by his own blood.
*of
@@PixelMochi yes, she's definitely alive, but we still have no clue what she's been up to, since our last info about her, was finding the heart of Naberius and going away. Considering what her specialization is, we could safely assume she's trying to use that heart to create some other being, if it's actually a biological heart, which should be, considering Naberius is an ars goetia name, so it's probably a dead god or something similar.
Yeah, Durin is reviving himself, but we also don't know how the second generation of dragons came to life in the first place, there's always the possibility that they were born from the remains of their predecessors, which would make them resurrections rather than reincarnations. Either way, from what we read about Durin, he didn't really have a clear mind when he fought Barbatos and Dvalin, so he may have issues remembering stuff, regardless of how he's coming back to life, which is the reason why Albedo fears he won't just revive and be the same good dragon he originally was. As you said, the abyss corruption may cause some problems to his memories. As for the Frostbearing Tree, that honestly gave me a different idea. What if it absorbed the corruption with its roots? Or, on the opposite side, what if it absorbed Durin's memories, since it's still an Irminsul tree and, as such, memories should go back to it, only they couldn't be sent to the main Irminsul, because it was cut off by the Celestial Nail?
@@ShadowXImpact Mmhmm! Didn't she find that thing in Liyue? I feel like it was in Liyue. Idk why though lol
Oooo... That's actually VERY true. Leyline business and whatnot. That'd be interesting! But then what would that spell for Irminsul itself, y'know? The Abyss Order's looking to corrupt it though, right? Or am I getting crossed wires? 😂 Also, about the dragons; that would make the most sense, since we all know what happened to those that tried to, succeeded in, and were obsessed with create life. 👀
But I get what you mean, with Irminsul absorbing it for the sake of like, sealing it from returning to him. Which is yes, another possibility. It's safe not to rule any of it out lol
This is way to much to remember honestly
I do like reading the lore, stories being hidden and their meaning but needing to remember ~70% of conversations of one specify event that happen 2 years ago or you'll not getting anything related to the CURRENT VERSION is so ass
I really enjoy genshin story overall but if we could have this in one go it will be way more enjoyable that it is right now (i know i'm coping)
@@lpi1565 I don't think you need to remember everything from the game, to be honest. Most of what's needed to understand the events and Archon quests, is usually something that left a mark in the past, even 2 years ago.
Still, this is also the reason why many people, me included, make videos about Genshin Impact XD
By the way, if they made a game with this much lore in one go, it would be way worse, because you wouldn't have the time to process things, so you would remember even less
I have a personal theory regarding simulanka, it was said that the world of simulanka was created by 3 goddesses and is also controlling it. Since it was introduced to us as a mirror or a reflection of the real world, that means teyvat was created by a god or gods that governs teyvat and everything is a simulation, as compare to the samsara cycle
@@cartluares yeah, that's what I've been saying a lot lately. Teyvat is not a real world, it's a dreamscape, a simulated reality, probably a world that mirrors the real planet, the Old World. I will expand on this concept in the next video that I'm writing right now, that will come out in a few days!
Princess who is looking for hero (help) to save her kingdom is representing an ancient nation living in snowy mountains. They preyed to heavens but there was no response anymore, so people start looking for answers into abyss. There is a lot of referrals to the ancient times. Entire event is a foreshadowing future: Durin is going to awake soon.
Natlan is about dragons, resurrection, and war (without actual war) just sparing in between themselves.
Are they going to awake heavenly principles in Shneznaya, that’ll why they collect gnosis? Or they going to attend resurrection of Nibelung in Natlan, however instead they will summon Durin by accident?
Just theory and random thoughts, don’t take it too serious.
@@a.j.s.7312 it does sound like Sal Vindagnyr, but the hero back then, Imunlaukr, didn't save the kingdom, he couldn't help the princess and she died while he was away.
I wouldn't call it foreshadowing, they literally told us that he's going to be revived, it's something we know it's going to happen.
I think the heavenly principles will wake up when the Fatui will burn Irminsul, as we saw in the teaser for Sumeru. The devs said that scene is going to happen, but in the future. If they don't wake up then....
Nibelung is technically not dead. Apep said that he came back to life in Deshret's time, while Durin's revival is not going to be a mistake made by someone else, he is reviving on his own
10:12 thank you for pointing this out! Gold gave elynas a physical form which, to me at least, means she didn't create him nor is she his mom 🥲 I fear that this misinformation has spread too much that pointing it out seems like it won't change the fandom's perspective.
@@ambieee it is basically what Elynas said himself, he was already alive before he became Elynas, but as Rhinedottir being his mother, I would still consider her as such, mainly because Elynas considers her his mom, she still brought him into the world, which is a similar concept to being born in Teyvat, so it's kinda, barely, fitting
another take, AQ Bedtime Story it feels like a goodbye to the old plot, it feels like the end of a season, and the next season will come out after the snezhnaya arc
@@cartluares it could be. I mean, they started closing the various circles they opened in the past three years, because we are slowly going toward the end of the game. Once we reached Fontaine, we went past the halfway point, since there are at least 8 version with Khaenri'ah, so everything started escalating since then, and it will probably keep going like this until the end of Snezhnaya, so that Khaenri'ah will be the revelation of the truth of everything we've learned so far. I hope there's a version 9, a post apocalypse kind of update, to be honest
@@ShadowXImpact I think the devs said in an interview that we completed about 1/3 of the Teyvat chapter, not even a half yet.
@@Disorder2312 what???? And that interview was after Fontaine? I mean, I'm definitely okay with that, to be honest XD
Inazuma had dual archons though, and even tho we didn't actually see it, we know it has happened.
@@xvgarnet I don't know what you're referring to about Simulanka, though. Can you give the context for this statement?
@@ShadowXImpact You said we've never seen double archons in one part of the video.
@@xvgarnet well, yeah, even though Ei and Makoto ruled together, only one was the Archon, but still, I meant that in the game, like in the present in the game, we never saw two Archons ruling together at the same time, there's always been one current Archon in every nation we've been to
Man I would love to see some actual time travel in Genshin
@@kyptosfleigtch4952 well, if we consider the Shogun's story quest, we actually already experienced it. When we go back into the domain, we see the past in the shattered glass around us. We went 500 years in the past, which is what Makoto asked Istaroth basically.
But yeah, it would be nice to experience it in a more conscious way
This theory is so interesting and is also quite reasonable, but im also confused about Hecate.If im correct, Hecate is the greek goddess of magic and Nyx (a very different and much older and powerful goddess) is the goddess of the night-
Other than this the theory is really good.
@@Im_Somone but as you should also know, many gods in ancient religions, end up ruling over multiple concepts, some of which are shared by other gods as well. This is the reason why there's Nyx, the goddess and personification of the night, but also Hecate, who among the things she rules over, there's the night as well. I mean, even Hades has some rulership over the night and darkness for example. This is also similar to being the God of the moon: Hecate, Artemis and Selene are all goddesses of the moon.
Still, thank you, I'm happy you like the video!!!
I do think that if capitano becomes playable, we will see his face. Who knows.... maybe he's even the first pyro archon, even if he uses cryo powers from the tsaritsa.
@@artaleasham4105 I hope that him being cryo isn't a leak but just a deduction based on Signora, which would be actually wrong since Childe's delusion is electro, so the Tsaritsa can assign whatever element she wants.
Still, yeah, if he become playable, it will probably be because he resurrected himself. I do believe he is dead but couldn't go back to Irminsul, nor did he disappear like other cursed people
There was a clan with giant toys who were hostile to the other ones, how do you think they will be represented in Natlan? Could they be linked with Venessa's tribe? Also, thanks for the effort on pronouncing correctly the náhuatl and maya things.
@@montse3139 well, in Simulanka, they're from Cappet's clan, so they should be the Pyro clan. I don't really know how it could be represented. Maybe it's the Pyro Saurian's characteristic? They can be small (like the Phoenix in Ignition that turned into Mavuika) and be able to become huge (like the Pyro flying saurian at the ent of the first teaser)?
I honestly don't know what Vennessa's tribe could be. By the time Vennessa was born, so many generations had passed (in fact, Vennessa wasn't born in Natlan at all), that the elders stopped teaching them about their origins, so she couldn't say much in the manga. Maybe she's from the Pyro clan, considering her strength and the fsct that they have red hair like the Archon? in turn, that could also mean that the Archon comes from the clan, which would make things even harder to understand... A human Archon? We'll see pretty soon, I guess.
As for the pronunciation, I tried, as I always do, to look for native people saying those names, but when it comes to mesoamerican cultures, there is very little around. I hope I pronounced them correctly...
How do you counter the popular theory though that there are 4 shades as represented by Genshin's artifact system. The flower of life, which we know represents the shade of life who created Egeria, the plume of death represented by the feather, Istaroth the shade of time represented by the timepiece, Susty the shade that controls space is being represented by the goblet and there's the Crown supposedly the representation of the Primoridal God.
I ascribe more to the idea that the three goddesses in Simulanka are the foreshadowing of the three moonsisters who once control the fate of Teyvat
@@jinminchoi838 I don't really have to counter it, to be honest. If the shade are represented by the artifacts, it doesn't really cause any problem, apart from the fact that Susty being the goblet doesn't really make sense, she would be better represented by the shade of life, since she's depicted as the goddess of creation in Simulanka. The Eonothem name from the goblet, doesn't really have much to do with space, it represents geological eras, reason why it might represent Phanes, the one who created the microcosm that is undergoing specific cycles that we can also define as eras.
As for the three goddesses foreshadowing the moon sisters, we simply have different ideas, but remember that the concept of the three moon sisters doesn't come from a valid source, it's a novel, so we don't really know if they were sisters to begin with, nor if they have anything to do with fate, considering that two fell, but fate still exists
@@ShadowXImpact Still, the fact that the shade of life created the original hydro archon Egeria to replace the sovereign dragon and safeguard the Primordial seawater which is the origin of lifeforms in all of Teyvat, doesn't sound anything like what we know about Susty at all. Her abilities seem to have to do with void/space and don't reflect what you would expect from the shade of life.
And she seems to do very well when she destroys things like her boxes are visible in the Khaenriah's cataclysm.
@@jinminchoi838 yes, but what do we really know about her? We only saw her once, and she uses her cubes to take and move stuff, she doesn't really destroy anything if we want to be precise. Neither Aether nor Lumine have been destroyed, they were relocated. This gives her powers over space, and as such, she may have created everything in Teyvat, the bodies of the people included, while their souls in Teyvat, are their memories, so we're talking about the shade of Fate in this case.
Susty creating Egeria is also something that we can't really deny because, once again, we have no ideas what her powers are, and she definitely didn't use all of them to fight the twins.
We can't treat that short opening as a comprehensive explanation of who Susty is and what she can do, we literally saw nothing about her
@@ShadowXImpact The cubes she possesses are actually shown in the scene where Lumine is running while the whole of Khaenri'ah is engulfed with Susty's powers. So safe to say she used her powers to destroy the kingdom. But I digress. And I agree we don't see much of her yet.
@@jinminchoi838 yes, but I'll challenge this as well. Dainsleif said, talking about Halfdan, that he managed to keep something despite something else being taken away from it ("without it"), meaning that the people of Khaenri'ah were deprived of something, which turned them into what they are now. On the other hand, Cloud Retainer told Yuandai that, without her memories, she would become a monster, which is similar to what seems to have happened to the people to Khaenri'ah. So, we're back to Susty taking something away and relocating it, in this case people's memories. For all we know, the cubes didn't destroy the nation, it could have been caused by the war that the Khaenri'ahn fought, or maybe because of the powers they obtained that went berserk destroying the whole nation
there a leak stating that we may have the natlan arc ending in 5.7 not 5.8

Natlan chapter will be called an Incandescent ode to ressurection.
It's not a coincidence Durin will be coming back.
@@silverhawkscape2677 yeah, they started with the resurrection theme very early!
There are some innacurate things you say. Everyone in Teyvat calls Aether by the name we players give him, you can even see it in the subtitles. It only says traveler in the voice acting to match all of the different names and only Lumine calls us Aether in game. It is the same with Scaramouche - we chose a name for him yet everyone calls him in the voicelines Hat Guy.
And another thing - the three godesses obviously refer to the three moon sisters of Teyvat, not the PrIMOrdial ONe and his shades which are descenders....
@@mizrahiomr I think that the name we picked is just part of the game mechanics, a way to make the player feel part of the story, not the actual name they use to refer to the traveler, but even if the people used that name instead of Aether, the concept doesn't change, people still don't call the traveler Aether.
Scaramouche is a different concept completely. People don't call him by the name we gave him, simply because he never told anyone. It's the name we picked for him and he most likely wants to keep it for himself. It's not like people can't call him whatever name we chose. Obviously, they had to do this because they can't have the voice actors say the name we picked.
As for the goddesses, I don't see the "obviousness" you claim... And, out of curiosity, were you trying to spell Paimon with the letters of the Primordial One? Because that only spelled PIMOON and it can't work with the other languages, especially considering that English is not even the main one...
I swear evertime new lore drops in an event or patch, someone makes a "this is how *blank* spoils the ending!" 😭
@@stars_and_lattes3078 I'll give you an example that you can easily find for yourself by reading the whole script of the 2.8 summer event like I did before making this video.
Kazuha can't leave his room - Nahida can't leave the Sanctuary of Surasthana.
Xinyan wasn't the person everybody wanted her to be - Nahida was hated because she wasn't Rukkhadevata, the God most people wanted.
In Xinyan's mirage, there are three friends, one of which is alone while the other two are together - Rukkhadevata, Deshret and Nabu Malikata
Xinyan's birthday party - Sabzeruz Festival
In Fischl's mirage, there was a theater and the other version of Fischl asked the citizens to bring her their dreams to fight the darkness - Akasha System
The true history of the Immernachtreich has been forgotten - Irminsul changed people's perspective of history, so they forgot the truth
Fischl and her other version, that eventually merged into one - Nahida and Rukkhadevata
Then there's the Fatui and their machine that used dreams to work - Scaramouche
So yeah, there is a reason why people make videos about the summer events being spoilers of the new Archon Quests, it's not just a clickbait

I see where you are going with what you are proposing, but don’t you think Zhongli seems to be a part of all this? He says he is older than 6000 years old. If so, and Teyvat is 6000 years old, who is Zhongli? Does it depend upon time and his age? If he is older than 6000 years old, he could be 6500 years old. OR he could be 20,000 years old or 50,000 years old or even older? Might he be the missing Phade? Or could he be the Second Who Came? He has made a constract with the Tsaritsa, but couldn’t he have made contracts with many other beings and creatures? So he could never tell the Traveler anything. I also like your idea that the twins did not come to Teyvat at the same time. I still have a tendency to believe they did end up on Teyvat at the same time and the Heavenly Principles divided them. Well most of these questions are still out there. The timeline of the story is all over the place as well. Because many of the characters are immortal (Aether and Lumine) or affected by some long life curse (Dainslief), it is hard to put a pin into actual dates. Or is the whole word just under a Samsara? Cursed to do things over and over and over again, until they get it right? Well Natlan is next so we shall see!😊
@@juliekm6495 I will never understand why many people think that Zhongli has to be a shade or that Teyvat has to be just 6000 years because of Zhongli's age. He is simply one of the gods of Teyvat. If he were a shade, why become an Archon and rule over just one nation? Why would he have to make contracts with the Adepti to get help fighting the other, lower gods? It's even worse if we, somehow, believe he's the second who came, someone who fought and defeated the Primordial One, an entity who defeated the seven dragon sovereign. Plus, the Archon War happened 3000 years ago, give or take, how can three whole eras, the unified nation, the evnoy age and the age of the gods of old, fit in just 3000 more years? That's too little for all of that to have happened.
He made a contract with the Tsaritsa, but it's not like he decided to keep the terms a secret so that he wouldn't be able to tell the traveler, that's what the Tsaritsa asked of him. And he did make contracts with other beings, the Adepti, but again, it's not like he's using contracts specifically to avoid telling the traveler things. I mean, if he doesn't want to tell us something, it's not like we can force him anyway or that he's forced to tell us the truth unless there's a contract involved.
I never said that the twins arrived on Teyvat in different moments. They clearly arrived together and then Susty separated them and released them in different moments of the past, one right away and the other 500 years later. It's not even something that can be questioned, since we literally saw them together in the opening video.
And no, I don't think the samsara of the world's work like the samsaras back during the Sabzeruz Festival. There have been 3 samsaras and we're experiencing the fourth right now. The samsaras ended with a global catastrophe, so the world being capsized, the celestial nail, and the Archon War. Probably, most things happened similarly because Teyvat works on memories, but they can't be exact cycles. We know that the civilizations of these ancient eras were completely different. Some were underdeveloped, some were strangely advanced, so that alone makes the samsaras different.
I think the pyro archon will pull a venti and hand their power over to us like he did with duvallin, (I can’t spell his name.) that would be cool as hell. But yours sounds like something they would do I’m always wrong anyway 😂

Listen to me, this is obviously just expeculation, but, I strongly belive columbina is the shade of fate, or prehaps the one representing death.
@@NycKFetzer and why would a world creator deity that wrote the fate of every single being, join an organization that wants to defy the same fate that she created? Such a powerful entity, and she's not even the first of the Harbinger, she's the third
@@ShadowXImpact because just as we were told the heavenly principles is sleeping, I do believe the primordial one is as well, with everything that is happening, the Hydro sovereign regaining his authority, the hydro throne destroyed, one of the seven publicly "declaring war" to Celestia (the Tsaritsa) a loom of fate being created, this are not something Celestia would just "let it slip" you know, so maybe, with all Celestia being out of the scene, Columbina could be in such a weakened state that she doesn't even resemble the power she once had. That's only to explain why she's only the third harbinger, now for her reason, it is unclear, since we don't know basically anything from the top 3 harbingers and the shades, but if the shade of fate is indeed divided into 3 representatives, she could be against the fate pre determined and saw the "fall of Celestia" (and I mean everyone out of the scene, either sleeping or basically not watching over teyvat) the opportunity to redeem? To try to make things right on her own terms? Tsaritsa knowing what she is/was would gladly accepts her into the fatui with the promise that if Celestia eventually wakes up, because they will certainly do at some point, help the fatui achieve their ultimate goal. With a being as powerful as a shade in their side they could "use" her to gain more time between Celestia waking up and realizing what's going on and descending Full force against the Tsaritsa, since, following the logic, if Celestia wakes up, if the primordial one more precisely wakes up, so does she regains her powers.

As for the last quest, honestly, I've been trying to figure out what it meant, but it just made no sense. We're they trying to tell us that the first person we met is the one behind everything? Or is it talking about Natlan, so the first person we'll see is the culprit of something? I honestly don't know.... If it's the former, then it would be either Paimon or Susty, or maybe Venti?
This might come across by actually had an idea for your theory for the longest time, we’ve all been assuming that xbalanque is the pyro dragon but with you saying that the original Pyro icon in tune themselves in the primal fire with the pyro dragon it had me thinking that xbalanque may possibly be the original pyro archon here’s my reasoning
1) mavuika is the counterpart of himeko that is clear enough due to her design and every version of her is supposed to die in some type of way, which is essentially meaning that that is her fate, so I wonder if mavuika acknowledges this and is taking fate in her own hands by her own means thus the wording “and now we shall use our blood to form our true fate”
And if you don’t know in Mayan culture which is what part of natlan is inspired by view blood as a conduit between worlds and a manifestation of the life force so I wonder if mavuika is going to use her blood (lava are something like that) in order to achieve your goal and if you didn’t know the Mayans believe that humans were created due to the gods giving part of their blood to them and if this is true in Genshin then it makes sense why humans are divine in nature but that divinity is being suppressed due to the predestined fates they’ve been deceived into believing that they can make their own choices when really it’s celestia doing the bitting this idea also works well with Fontaine since neuvillette was only able to save the people from Fontaine by changing their primordial blood vessels into true human blood it seems as if the change of blood can also affect your fate as well, especially since blood is a prime example of DNA of your own heritage so I wonder if mavuikas plan have something to do with the blood of gods and if her sacrifice is a part of it, it also makes me wonder if she’s trying to free the og pyro archon and the pyro dragon as a way of defying celestias rules making to beings that are supposed to be enemies coexist with each other. It could be possible that mavuika may try to sacrifice herself to bring back her predecessor but in the end her predecessor is the one that will be doing the sacrificing giving all their power to her after her death thus the rising from the ashes and resurrection part of natlan since simulankas story talked abt how durin was misunderstood as a dragon. I wonder if the same thing will happen with the fire dragon as well it’s also really interesting how mavuika compared to the rest of the archons has an outfit very similar to that of the abyss and how it also reflects that of the watered down pyro slime which makes me believe that her ascension to archon hood as you said could have a effect on her availability as well it is very likely that she is still the god of natlan but doesn’t officially hold the title of archon since for me I feel like she’s gonna be released later in the story of natlan the reason I say this is because venti was released 1.0 of the game then zhongli and ei released in the x.1 of their nations ark then nahida and furina released in the x.2 of their nations ark it seems as if hoyo is making a pattern with the archons releases with every two being released a update later then the other so it’s likely mavuika will release in 5.3 which will be natlans real end of an ark since genshin seems to be cooking up a lot for the nation this also means the cryo archon bronya will be releases in 6.3 and if this is their pattern then it makes way for better story telling for both those nations for example 5.0 of natlan can be the introduction of characters and the main conflict of the story 5.1 will further explore the conflict by retelling past stories of natlan history I also kinda believe we’ll have a tribe land available in 5.1 map in order to do so then 5.2 will be when the story starts to ramp up but also go backwards because as you said mavuika diverging from her original fate could have some type of effect were time moves backwards a little which is likely why folcalors had to come up with such a outrageous plane to save Fontaine she new celestias will can overpower her goal so she decided to take fate into her own advantage by deceiving it by playing into its rules and that’s also how she was able to save the nation essentially when I’m trying to say that mavuika instead of deceiving fate and playing into its rules like folcalors she’s gonna be more bold and want to challenge it full on I mean she is the god of war so are doing something like that wouldn’t be a surprise btw I also want to believe murata and mavuika are the same person it’s just that people in the past called her murata very likely as a title like the raiden shogun or Rex lapis especially since venti talks abt the pyro archon in a very similar Manner to that of mavuika that we’ve seen also I don’t believe like previous quest that we’ve seen that we will get the gnosis ik it may seem as though it would be a stupid idea to still stay in the nation even with the fatui having all seven, but they would still be missing one or two we don’t exactly see the cryo gnosis when pierro is playing chess with very likely the tsaritsa in the winter nights, Lazzo it could be very well hidden or lost And yeah, I guess you can say it’s for all final reveal and stuff but the gnosis are really just chest pieces to show the archons place we haven’t even seen the dendro gnosis yet or the hydro gnosis and we are going to natlan next update it doesn’t seem as though the gnosis are that important anymore to the main plot of the story they kind of feel like additional side plots Plus, the reason why I say even if the fatui do all seven gnosis they still be missing the king
Anemo is queen
Electro and dendro bishop
Hydro and pyro knight
And geo and cryo rook
Genshin is heavily implying those elements to be related to do certain chess pieces, but we would still be missing the camp piece which very likely resides in celestia so since the gnosis are from the third Decender, that is very likely that they’re going to have to wait for someone like us to be the equivalent of the king piece or try to utilize our body in order to work well with the other gnosis tbh I believe the traveler is just simply upon since more and more quest is less us being a fighter but more so as witnessing the fighting since we are the witness of this world and as upon they cannot ascend to the king piece like how dain says that the throne in the sky is not reserved for us as if saying that we cannot attend to the seat of God because it is not our seat to sit in
@@isaiahhaley4816 I've never thought Xbalanque was the fire dragon, not even once. He said that when "they" will come back, talking about the dragons, so he doesn't count himself among them, hence he's not a dragon (and I'm saying "he" because the mythological Xbalanque was male, so I'm going for that until we learn who he is in the game).
Mavuika is Himeko, and if she's supposed to die in every universe, then maybe she's always been the "princess", only when Natlan fell those three times, she fell as well, died, came back to life, but she forgot who she was before, so she thinks there were other princesses before her?
As for Neuvillette, it's not like he changed the Fontainians' blood, he turned the Primordial Water that was flowing into their veins, into blood, which seems to have been what happened to every single being created from the Primordial Sea when Teyvat was created.
In Fontaine's case, the fact that this transformation was important, it's because Primordial Water wants to go back to the Primordial Sea, reason why Celestia decided to flood the nation with Primordial Water, so that people got in contact with it, turned back to Oceanids and the Egeria's arrogation would have been solved. It's not about blood per se, it was about preserving their bodies by turning them into actual humans.
I highly doubt Mavuika wants Celestia to coexist with the dragons...
And, although the pattern sounds interesting, I don't think people would be happy if Mavuika gets released later than 5.2... We don't want another petition against Hoyoverse....
But I like the idea of Mavuika challenging fate head on instead of tricking it.
I did say this, multiple times, that I think Murata is going to be a title, not a name, so when Mavuika becomes the actual Pyro Archon (because we never witnessed an ascension before), she will inherit that name, the title of Murata, which is what the gemstone talks about.
Well, I mean, the Tsaritsa may be on Pierro's side, but she's not dumb. She might be keeping her gnosis until the time to use them all 7 arrives, so Pierro doesn't have it simply because she still owns it.
The gnoses are not important? Might I remind you that they are the remains of the third descender and that the Fatui are interested in the object and not the power inside, so they are most likely trying to revive the guy?
So here's the thing... Why are we so sure that Dainsleif is talking to us in the Travail video? I mean, he says "when the God of War shares this secret WITH THE TRAVELER".... He's not talking to us, he is talking to someone else... For all we know, he could be telling Lumine a prophecy of the future his brother, Vedrfolnir, told him, so yeah, the throne in the sky is not reserved to her, because she's not a descender. Who needs to be saved at the end then? Well, if they told us already, the game would be probably over...
@@ShadowXImpact with dain he’s a narrator for the traveler he’s not talking to no one but us the viewer It’s only at the end of the video where he actually starts talking to the traveler because they are the ones that’s shown I don’t see why or who else they would be talking to since again we are the protagonist we are the ones capable of changing fate because we are a decender the game has made that to be plenty clear plus when other people like the genshin characters are talking in their teasers their not talking to anyone unless they are revealed to be so it’s mostly in their heads so their not talking to them or the traveler it’s a narration for us the viewer also dain ask the traveler to challenge him and lumine has already fought dain we haven’t he’s our final obstacle so yes he is talking to us especially since he says then well, the threads of our fate be yours to reveave
Also, I feel like you’re twisting my words. I never said that the gnosis were unimportant I just say that they don’t feel as important anymore as they use to yes they are the remains of the third descender but if the archons don’t care abt them then why does tge traveler even bother to.
Also once we get mavuikas real name maybe we can see her place in natlans story also I don’t understand why it’s such a bad idea to release her a little later for natlans update if anything it’s a good strategy the archons are the most wishable characters in the game there are main plot points to their nations so of course genshin could just hold off their release a little more it’s not going to be bad if anything
Also, to clarify, the petition only exists to stop hoyos cultural appropriation of poc cultures not for something as stupid as a postponed release
Also neuvillette did change the Fontaineians blood her even set it himself if he’s changing it their primordial seawater blood into true human blood then he is essentially changing them? That’s literally what he did
@@isaiahhaley4816 nah, I don't buy that, Dainsleif didn't break the fourth wall and talked to us directly about the traveler.
Yes, the Archons don't care about their gnoses, but the traveler does, since he is the one fighting the Harbingers. They don't feel less important, especially after Fontaine and what Skirk told Neuvillette. If anything, they suddenly got way more important that they were before, but obviously we can't do much, because we haven't gone to Snezhnaya yet
@@ShadowXImpact I mean, I guess you can be right about dain but also at the same time you could just be overthinking it the video shows as a previous teaser to the nation stories and what the travelers role will be and then we reached the end dain starts to talk to the traveler I don’t understand why you always dive a little too deep into these and I get it that’s pretty much your job but there are some things that are just their and really don’t have any deeper meaning if we dain it’s talking to someone else then we would have to assume that every character who had a character teaser is talking to someone else when most of which is in their mind their own narration
Also even though it was a huge lower drop for the gnosis to me I still feel like you’re not exactly the most important factor of the game like they kind of feel like a after thought rather then the main plot
@@isaiahhaley4816 or maybe you're simply underthinking things? To me, this is Dainsleif talking to someone, recounting Aether's journey, so this is a video of Dainsleif in the future, when Aether has already traveled throughout Teyvat. Just like the Myriad Celestia in Star Rail ended up being Black Swan talking in our sleep at the end of Penacony, even though we saw that video at the beginning of the game.
It could very well be Dainsleif talking maybe not to Lumine, but to Vedrfolnir, someone who clearly wants to achieve greater, godly powers, and he's saying "that throne is not for you. The traveler did all of this and now he's heading to Khaenri'ah, where the people a dreaming of dreaming, what you caused with your greed. Are you going to save her (whoever she is)? We'll see about that, maybe I'll be able to do it with the help of the traveler".
Anyway, that's my opinion, you can clearly disagree and believe I'm overthinking it. Only time will tell

Sorry for deleting my last comment, in all honesty I was a bit embarrassed for misrepresenting the lore, however looking back into it, I have yet to see any mention of Heimarmene being a member of the ordo, So I still feel she'd be the shade/god responsible for fate
As the letter found near the ordo states: "To receive a Vision is to sell oneself to the "fate" of this world - to Heimarmene, and to evermore lose the chance to walk the correct path."
This, to me, does not come off as a letter commenting on past members who have failed, but rather, a further elaboration on what was said. To sell oneself to the "fate" of this world is to sell oneself to Heimarmene, thus forever to walk the incorrect path.
In the Greek myth, Heimarmene is the god of fate associated with the concept of cause and effect. A concept that is quite prevalent in the game. While the causes of events can vary since humans have the free will to make decisions, the effects, however, remain the same, as they are fixed events.
Thus, the beginning of the note:
"...To excise the self is not to die, but rather to die before death. That way, there is no life to be ended. Thus may one achieve eternity. This step is vital, for by this, may one avoid receiving a Vision by some error."
Would make sense in the context of fate being somewhat fixed. As by excising the self, one would be aiming to transcend the ordinary cycle of cause and effect, stepping outside the bounds of conventional fate. In doing so, they would avoid the destiny that would otherwise befall them, achieving a form of eternity beyond the reach of Heimarmene's influence. They are essentially trying to abuse their free will to determine their own outcomes, their own causes.
So to me Heimarmene is most likely the name of the god which controls fate, however if you have any points of contention, I'd love to hear them, I promise not to delete my comments this time around 💀
@@heliax2958 so, to be more precise in my reply and avoid saying something wrong, especially since you took the time to rewrite it, I checked the Italian translation for that note and I have to agree that I was wrong in thinking Heimarmene is one of the members of the Ordo, but my new conclusion still disagrees with yours.
The way it was translated especially in Italian, Heimarmene refers to the fate of the world, but it's not a being, it's not the shade. The Heimarmene is the Ordo's name for the fate of the world, not intended as a being that rules over fate, but to fate itself. It's like saying "to this world, to Teyvat", "Teyvat" is not a being but just the name of the world. Heimarmene is basically the name of the concept.
Despite how deep Rene went with his research on Teyvat, he never discovered the shades, and if he did, he wouldn't have been allowed to live that long. Remember that Nabu Malikata said that inquiring about the shades and their master would have caused an apocalypse, basically. The only ones who know about the shades and the Primordial One so far, are the Abyss Order (and the Fatui, but thanks to Pierro, who is still from Khaenri'ah), and Enjou was able to talk about it without any catastrophe, because he, like the other Khaenri'ahns, has been cut off from Irminsul, so whatever he knows, will never be recorded by the tree, and he talked about the shades to the traveler, whose memories also won't go back to Irminsul. Plus, the traveler doesn't really know about the shades. Before Sun and Moon is written in a lost language, one that the traveler can't read, he says it during the quest in which we retrieved the book. We can read it, but it's game mechanics for the players.
This to say that Rene figured out that fate is problematic in Teyvat, that receiving a vision is probably even worse, it may prevent one from ever having the chance to defy it, but he never learned about the shade, let alone their names.
@@ShadowXImpact Sorry for the late response, but fair point! My next best guess for the shade or rather, beings in charge of fate, would be none other then the travelers. But that gets a lot more complicated, and a lot more theoretical so I'll just save you the explanation, unless you'd be open to hearing my thoughts on the manner.
I actually believe the broken sea area and mines also represent inazuma (tatarasuna) cuz that is where we meet wanderer and that's where he and durin bond over their similar pasts
@@pain-tf2lp I've seen others think about this. While it can make sense, also considering the island being split in half, the miners who overmined and causes the dragon to go berserk, is literally the Chasm, while the princess of the Kingdom of Breezes and Bells sealed her nation and confined herself, like Ei.
So maybe Inazuma is represented by the Kingdom in the forest, but it's also one of the nations the Broken Sea mirrors
21:43 Wait, how did you come to that conclusion?
@@Disorder2312 That it's the forge of the other nations? Well, Natlan is split in 6 different areas, each representing an element, it's not a place full of lava and fire like we probably expected, since the other nation were all about their own elements.
As I consequence, I thought of Volcano, the God of Fire from Greek mythology, who had a forge, and went with that potential explanation. Plus, Simulanka is also split in different sections that represent the nations of Teyvat, so it just felt like a kind of confirmation. I could be wrong, of course, but if I was 100% sure about it, it wouldn't have been a theory
@@ShadowXImpact Sorry, i should have said more clearly: why do you think "except Snezhnaya"?
@@Disorder2312 oh, it's because there's no cryo Saurian in Natlan, and also for another reason that I'm actually going to talk about in the video I'm editing right now, that might come out tomorrow!!!
@@ShadowXImpact Is this from leaks or what? I thought there was no pyro one. Then that would also mean that Natlan was used as a forge to forge itself.
@@Disorder2312 in this channel, there are no leaks, because I avoid them as the plague.
In Natlan, their will obviously be a Pyro Saurian tribe. Ranjit told us that the colors of the Saurians represent their elements, and so far, we've seen a Geo, yellow Saurian, a Hydro, blue Saurian, and a dendro, green Saurian, but we also saw a massive red Saurian in the sky, with no other colors on it, meaning that it is going to be the Pyro Saurian.
Natlan is not boiling hot, but it's also not going to be cold, also considering how far away from Snezhnaya is. Since the Saurians evolved based on the environment they lived in, Natlan most likely won't have any kind of cold areas, so they would have never felt the need to adapt to those temperature, hence there's no Cryo Saurian

As we remember the traveler was described as huge monster capable of devouring the world. And Paimon connected to the heavens. I’m just tossing out ideas now that we see Durins future which seems to be as far less threatening and welcomed by the people.
@@jamesreese4170 you do remember that Durin's heart is still in the cave on Dragonspine, right?
Wanderer, in Simulanka, represents the traveler in my opinion, which could simply mean that Durin may become a floating companion like Liloupar or the Seelie or the Shiki Koshou that I use.
The traveler being a giant monster capable of devouring the world, should simply mean that, as a descender, he is capable of challenging a world, so if he were to become evil, he could also destroy it completely
@@ShadowXImpact aye but was not azhdaha both a trapped dragon, a girl guiding possessed miners and a guy who talks to rocks, while his body was still trapped. Physical limitations apparently do not trouble strong dragons.
@@jamesreese4170 those were temporary personalities because Azhdaha's powers were leaking from the seals, they were not actual people/beings, and they came to existence because Azhdaha is still alive, while Durin is in a death kind of state similar to Elynas. We could only meet Elynas in his consciousness, he never created a copy of himself that roamed the world, the best he could do, was talk to Mamere in her mind, simply because she had a greater affinity with him
8:16 : is that the reason Neuvillette refuse to say his real name to anyone ??????
@@Zhonglily_99 it could be. Unless we're told what his name is, we can't really be sure about it, but the fact that he's safeguarding his name so much, is definitely sus
@@ShadowXImpact there was a theory that the only character who knows his real name is Furina (might be just a reference but one of her constellation is « his name is … » if I remember well). Could be just him being 10000% professional or just a safety measure
Curious, do you think Zhongli has a bigger role in all of this in future? I've seen theories him being one of the shades (cant remember which one). He is OLD and seems kinda sus and cant tell us anything because of a NDA lol
@@sonjab.6852 I'm well aware of the Zhongli-shade theory, and honestly it doesn't make sense to me. If he were a shade, what would be the point of becoming an Archon and rule over one single nation? If he's so powerful, how is he even affected by erosion? But above all, why would he give the Tsaritsa his gnosis when even the Primordial One decided to help in order to transform the third descender into the gnoses? There are a lot of points that wouldn't make sense if he was a shade.
This theory begins with him saying that he "dwellt" on the land for a long time, and people just can't accept that "to dwell" is simply an ancient way to say "I've lived", so not necessarily that he came from beyond Teyvat. As for the NDA, if he talked, then the whole point of contracts being absolute, so his whole existence, would be meaningless. If the Archon himself doesn't follow his own rules, it would be kinda bad.
As for his role, sure, he is going to have a massive role, considering there's a war that's about to start, and we know what he can do if he decides to fight

@@haroonafridi231 it would be nice, but I doubt it. Mini-durin became a little Spyro dragon, so something similar is most likely to happen for Durin as well, rather than turning human-like
@@ShadowXImpactIm tir3d of just humans
Like ZZZ has more animalistic guys.
I wanna play as a dragon
@@tirramasu7948 I actually like the characters in between, like Tighnari in Genshin or Seth in ZZZ. They're just unique!
@@ShadowXImpact mmm hmm (agreeance)
Durin’s creation sounds very much like how zhongli made Azhdaha. He was a voice without a body and zhongli made him a body and eyes to see. There’s something zhongli is hiding
umm.. that's actually not how it happened. the trailer of zhongli and azhdaha is composed of the story teller side of story, then zhongli give his affirmation.
Iron Tongue Tian: In our last tale, Rex Lapis was walking alone in the mountains. He heard a remote voice unlike any other coming from a crack in the earth.
Zhongli: Most of the ancient Geo life forms that live below Liyue are blind, having not seen the sunlight for an age.
Iron Tongue Tian: The voice was sometimes sad and songlike, other times it was loud and thunderous. The Lord of Geo searched here and there before finally unearthing a strange stone from the bedrock.
Zhongli: That's how Azhdaha was. I answered his wish, and took him above ground.
Iron Tongue Tian: The Lord of Geo took pity on the rock's spirit and carved it into a magnificent work of craftsmanship - a vivid representation of a dragon.
Zhongli: I bestowed him with a pair of eyes to see the world and came to an agreement with him.
Iron Tongue Tian: With his fingers, he made two eyes. Quicker than words could tell, lightning flashed and thunder roared, and a living, breathing dragon soared into the clouds!
Zhongli: I agreed to let him live among the people above ground, but if the day ever came when he brought ruin to order, he would once again be sealed in the dark.
Iron Tongue Tian: The dragon accompanied the Lord of Geo, fighting campaigns alongside him in the four corners of the world.
basically, iron tongue tian telling us the exaggerated version of the story, then zhongli continue with the real event. iron tongue tian said that zhongli creates azhdaha from a rock, shaping it like dragon, but zhongli said that he only bestowed eyes to the blind ancient geo lifeform. Basically this :
Most of the ancient Geo life forms that live below Liyue are blind, having not seen the sunlight for an age.
That's how Azhdaha was. I answered his wish, and took him above ground.
I bestowed him with a pair of eyes to see the world and came to an agreement with him.

@@popinsock8091 as @Scatterblades said, Zhongli didn't create Azhdaha. He is an ancient being, most likely as ancient as Teyvat, so there's still a debate whether he is an original sovereign or a second coming like Neuvillette. Still, he was basically a Geo being living in the depths of the ground. Zhongli just freed him and gave him eyes, because, for some reason, Geo beings are usually blind.
Could anyone tell me Sustainer's beta name, please?
