Fun fact: Tartaglia's real name, Ajax, comes from Greek mythology. In Greek mythology Ajax's brother is called Teucris. Ajax ends his own life to protect his families Honor. This can be paralleled to Tartaglia falling into the abyss and becoming a new person.
This is a little bit of a spoiler for my Time Capsule playthrough, but Enkanomiya's NPCs have names that derive from on Greek mythology (Adonis, Spartacus, Kairos, Charon, Orupeusu, etc.) Childe and his sibling all have names that derive from Greek mythology as you said (Ajax, Teucer, Anthon, Tonia). We know that Childe' father used to be an adventurer (Character Story 3), so it makes me wonder if his father's lineage dates back to the days of Enkanomiya.
@@MurderofBirdsImpact Ohhh that's a really interesting theory actually. Although I think that not only enkanomiya has Greek names. The entire primordial civilization probably too. (Phanes is also a Greek name)
After you learn of Tartaglia’s lore, about when he accidentally fell into the Abyss when he was fourteen, he essentially lost his childhood “innocence”. I think that’s why he was so adamant in protecting Teucer’s childhood innocence at any cost, even nearly at the cost of his own life.
FORREAL! Seeing Dottore in the manga was an even bigger pop off too. I REALLY hope he becomes a playable character in the future. As of right now, he's the Harbinger I'm most anticipated to play as, with Kunikuzushi (Balladeer/Scaramouche) being a VERY close second.
@@MurderofBirdsImpact did you know that Collei is mentioned in the game already and has been since launch? Examine the notification board for the Black Cat and one of the random messages will refer to her. I hope both oof them show up in Sumeru.
@@rickypedia999 Yes, I've read every notification/message board in the game, and there will be a video on that in the future, lol. But yes, she's my most anticipated character at the moment, especially with Dendro and Sumeru most likely releasing later this year! I'm lowkey considering triple crowning her solely based on her manga presence, lol.
(reply may include spoiler for the sumeru desert) - - - There is this Eleazar Hospital deserted, and there are documents left in the facility that mention two physicians that used to work there. One of the physician's name is censored out and their recorded treatment methods are so harbinger-ious. Add that to the fact that Dottore used to "treat" Collei for Eleazar back in the day, I suspect that he might still be that kind of doctor.
So... a kind of weird thing i did. After finishing his Story quest, i was so touched by his brotherly ability to protect (and lie barefaced) his younger runt, that i made a vow and swore to Childe in his crippled and worn out body laid bare on the ground, i wouldn't fight him for a whole month out of respect. I was... DISTRAUGHT. Because the time i played his Story quest, was also the time i was hunting for Xiao crown. So for a whole month, i went into abstinance, and forbid myself to get Talent Materials for my main DPS, just because of a stupid promise to a character i neither have nor like, just because he is a better brother than i am and will ever be.

I agree. It's quite unfortunate that we got him in the Version 2.2 Event, Labyrinth Warriors, but it had very little story/lore substance for Childe or Xinyan. The lore mainly focused on Shiki Taishou's master and learning at the end that Scaramouche went rogue after obtaining the Electro Archon's Gnosis.
Now that I know that Lizzie Freeman (Yanfei) also voices Teucer, it boggles my mind to hear him now. I hope he comes back again in the future, maybe in an event or in story quest Man I want a Mr. Cyclops action figure too!! FOR THE TEAPOT!!
@MurderofBirds In the Chinese script, he wasn't exactly as evil sounding as the English version, which really added to the experience of playing his personal quest and getting to know his family side.

To be fair, HoYo changed the translation of that sentence in the English localization and redubbed it - you can check it in the Paimon Archive.

I don't know exactly when this change took place but I remember when in 1.1 it was still as you wrote above.
Same reason why Xiao is suddenly emo in EN and Diluc no longer a gentleman, also why Paimon's voice gets squeakier and squeakier, and how Kazuha lost his 'plotting soft yandere undertone vibe'. En VA are great people, but the voice directors and translation team just sucks, man.
To be honest, I'm a whole Simp for Childe I don't really care about those comments saying how "vile" he is. As an older sister i can relate to his struggles with Teucer and I would do everything to protect my younger siblings. That being said, Tartaglia, my little Meow Meow I love you so much even when you don't want to crit, but when you do you go hard 😌❤️
"My little Meow Meow" is so freaking adorable. You've said everything i feel about him! I'm happy to love him and his character despite the controversial opinions on his morality
37:45 if you watch these scene at a slower speed, you can literally see him kick into the ruin guards eye then kicking him away, the attention to detail is so awesome istg
I'm laughing hard at two iconic lines from this story quest when I play them. (the one about Paimon not guilty of taking Teucers money and the line about Teucer learning how to bargain). But I also realized that he had been very honest about himself not being neither good or bad. Some players just never realized that he had been someone who honors his family first and will do anything to protect his family including doing evil deeds to others. I find that very relatable up to some extent. Protecting a child's innocence is very hard when you are working in a very compromisable line of work.
Childe is my precious favourite character and his brother is ADORABLE As a family-person, I could not stop my big sibling feelings from totally loving this story quest!
"Will he recognize Teucer? And he did!" Childe stole my heart immediately as I know more about him. And the cutscene! He squeeze my heart until I say I love him! Damn it! Don't play my feelings Tartagilia!
Bro I can’t see Childe’s story ending without him either being killed in the “final battle” we may have with celestial or something like that, or he sacrifices himself to save his family. It’s just I have a gut feeling he’ll sacrifice himself for his family or us. Just going out in a blaze of glorious fire
his name based on the mythological heros are terrific foreshadowing too. the original Odyssey Ajax died because he killed himself with his own blade to protect his family honor, and Teucer would protect the body to ensure he got a proper burial even if others said that Ajax did not deserve a proper funeral. it's terrific
@@MurderofBirdsImpact I know I wanted to make this a joke, but then I remembered that the version of "eeny, meeny, miny, moe" I was taught was about an old man jumping over bombs and kicking Germans in the teeth, so...
Childe, my very first gacha character (even before getting a 4*!) and my main since 2020 November... I always have a special place for this quest in my heart, it makes me so nostalgic to see content about it because I felt like we finally had a chance to see some stuff into Childe and learn more about him outside of his Fatui agenda and work personality. I hope his second story quest is as in-depth with his background and story as this one and as more hitting as this one. Always thankful to you for putting out quality content Arnold, always looking forward to your reactions and comments about the lore and story of this game , take care of yourself bro
I love quests like these. I think Venti and Childe's story quest are quests were we learen so much about them as characters. On a different note I loved Yelan's quest for the plot itself. This game is full of amazing content.
BIG SAME! I will say though, I knew Dottore was featured in the manga, so this quest only hyped me up more when we got around to reading it! (Manga reading will be uploaded when we get to them btw)
I wonder if Teucer is going to have some plot relevance later on. It seems that amongst Childe's siblings only Teucer has a Greek name like Ajax himself. The other two (Tonia and Anthon) have names that are quite common in Russia.
@@jwanacena8704 , who, in what way? Tell me if I'm misunderstanding you, but do you mean to say that Childe and Teucer are going to have the same dinamic as Seele and Bronya, who had, in fact, kissed in the official Honkai Manga. I really hope I'm just stupid and didn't understand you correctly
@@_dragonflies_ nooooooo!!! not that kind of dynamic XD im sorry, that's also like the second thing that came to my mind after i made that comment and it did not sit well with me🗿 forget i asked I don't remember why i thought they were similar aside coming from the same company 🗿
Iirc in his story profiles, it says that he has other two older siblings. In the English, it's an older brother and sister (and iirc the Chinese just says siblings) so he's technically the middle siblings Also I'm really happy how you reacted to his quest! I know this is like an old time capsule vid but I had seen others playthrough the quest and not many of them has as much heartfelt and sincere thoughts as yours did so as a Childe simp, this was such a treat to watch through!
8:39 I threatened worse for people who broke a pinkie promise "Break a pinkie promise, I break your pinkie" was a very common thing that I told people.
That was likely an unexpected circumstance because Childe was tasked with scouting Inazuma to track down Scaramouche after he went rough after getting the Electro Archon's Gnosis. In contrast, him saying we'll meet in Snzhnaya is something he expects to happen.
@@MurderofBirdsImpact 1 was not expecting you to reply. 2 I feel bad childe was the one who had to but it makes sense one fatui died the other rough and I'm guessing he was in close distance to inazuma
Fun Fact: Snezhnaya (aka Снежная) means "snowy" in the feminine Masculine will be Snezhnyy (aka Снежный) And Tsaritsa it's something like "queen" aka "Tsarina" (you can google this word) And "King" will be "Tsar" BTW "Tsar's son" will be "Tsarevich"
Sheeeesh, i love these videos, they are kinda different from most of RUclips reaction i saw! Like, you actually THINK, not just "wow", "what the hell" and "haha roasting paimon", i really like that, thank for giving this on RUclips :D P. S. Tartaglia is such a good character, I first liked him for the playstile, mechanics, and then everything just showed me i was right liking him in the first place. Fav char and the one i started the game for!
Childe is my fav character in this whole game and I really hope when he comes back we’ll get more content with him related to the abyss. It’s very possible he knows about travelers sibling and I don’t know why they haven’t asked him yet
I loved this quest, and loved "replaying" it from someone else's perspective. Also, I can't wait to know more about Skirk (Not mentioned in the story quest, but she is the girl living in the Abyss who trained Childe and can beat him (at full force) with one hand).
i loved this quest very much. hoyo knows how to write about “real” human character in fictional anime work. professional at his work, love the family, opportunist, pragmatic, dynamic personalities depends on the person who he talks to, just like us. amazing quest, indeed
i think its so nice that your videos from months ago are just coming out now.. its been such a long time since I've done these quests that watching you play through them makes it feel like I'm playing them again for the first time. really love your videos arnold!
Let’s go! The man himself Arnold is back,though I gotta admit...no beard Arnold has got it going on. Anyway,I thank you for making my day once more man.
Amazing video as always~! i love your reactions! (oh btw, you probably know this now but if you had chosen the "Your brother didn't say anything bad about me, did he?" instead of "it was a pleasure meeting you", he would have told you that Childe said if he ever had a chance, he would quit his job and join the traveler in his journey; or something like that which i think is kind of cool, also there are some interesting things in his character story like him falling in the abyss when he was young, training there, spending 3 months there and when he got out only 3 days has passed,...i think these information could be relevant in the future since Snezhnaya is the last place we will go to before Khaenriah)
I'm a little bummed that you cut out a lot of the quest... I wanted to see your reaction to Teucer's interaction with the sales people and Childe talking about 'toys' to the treasure hoarders
I've been a Childe Main since Day 1 and still am to this day, so I always liked him. But I actually waited a looong time to do this quest and I regretted it, because the moment I did this quest was also the moment I REALLY fell in love with Childe^^
oh heck yea, will have to get to this video later, but I'm loving your Genshin quest videos edit: I said i'd get back to this video, but I started watching it and haven't stopped xD
Murder: when I get to snezhnaya, one of these! For every one of them! One for yer mother, one for yer father- I laughed at that because you reminds me of that one meme of one guy emotionlessly slapping everyone in the backyard, including the kids and cops and paramedics- like; *SLAP! SLAP! SLAP! SLAP!-*
Between Childe's fighting style and this quest, it easily cemented him as one of my favorite characters, ... I haven't gone far in regards to getting characters above lv80, and he's 89, with only my Aether being at 90. Also Childe and Oz is one of my strongest combos lol.
i think it was mentioned in his character stories that he's actually the third son! so it implies he has two older brothers too at the very least. his parents are both still around too i believe! :D he mentioned he sent cold medicine to his dad in his letter to home too.
Things have gone a long way for Arnold, I remember when he started reacting to RWBY s3, and we once called him the title for King of RWBY reacts... like woah.
Either we get a Childe story quest part 2 or he better become essential in the archon quest by the time we make it to snezhnaya. I already miss this guy (but not too much for another rerun plss gawd no)
I will always have the weirdest fondest memory for this quest; not because of Childe, i started the game liking him and this quest only added. But for this being my most memorable cutscene death 😂 Mr Cyclops might have exploded my Traveler in the middle of that cutscene looking down at the factory entrance, So I had to run back and rewatch. And that was the day I learned oh it doesn't pause the game during cutscenes. My second most memorable was during Mona's, traveler managed to get hit by lightning *twice* with that talk with Mona outside mondstadt a little bit before klee shows up. I had been hit with lightning before during cutscenes but that was the only time I managed to get hit twice one after the other, somehow
Hu Tao's quest is lowkey one of my top 5 favorite story quests in the game at this point, so I'm excited to share it with everyone! It'll be uploaded after the next video, which will be Ganyu's Story Quest!
You know I have a theory about the elements that the traveller had before the start of the game In science before it was believed that light travells in a special medium called "lumine aether" somthing I forgot what it is actually called so maybe you can put 2 nad 2 together
You know a detail I feel like a lot of people overlooked? The Fatui have new recruits... in Liyue. So not just Harbingers, but all Fatui can be from any region. Adds a little paranoia to think that any random Joe off the street can potentially be a Fatui agent out of uniform or they can join later on, no matter where you are or where they are from. Mr Worldwide comes from a worldwide organization, huh?
45:55 if in you selected the second option, Teucer tells you that Childe told them that "if he could, he would quit his job and join you" I wonder when we will have his second character quest. I hope it's not in Snezhnaya 🥲
By the time we get to Snezhnaya, which will likely be in another 3 years, I wonder if they're gonna age him up to match the IRL time if we don't see him again until then.
@@kaiseejustcant Childe 2.0. Teucer gets an Electro Vision by Celestia, join the Fatui and then get an Electro Delusion by the Tsaritsa. Mirror Childe, lol.
man, you're so good at this game, man. love Childe. and i didn't say it last time but i really appreciate the 2 hour vid. i don't even play it, but all the things you said is absolutely true.
I think Childe is neither good nor evil. He's not a hero but he's not a villain either and I think Hoyoverse designing his colour palette to be grey really suits him because he's a grey character and the fact that if you'd notice, Childe's eyes actually look dead. The fact that we were given Teucer really shows that Childe had been similar to his younger brother at one point but whatever he learned from his time in the Abyss forever changed him. If you think about it, a person is only a villain based on perspective. A hero can be seen as a villain in the eyes of the people they fight against after all. If the roles were reversed, we'd think that the traveller is the one who is a villain and getting in the way of the hero's justice.
Remember, Childe's actions are ultimately an extension of the Tsaritsa, so Childe going through with the Osial plan wasn't anything personal to his fellow comrades that got caught blindsided by the actions of the Fatui during the Liyue Archon quest. But yeah, I definitely felt some conflicting after doing those Chasm quests. So many innocent members got caught in the crossfires.
@@MurderofBirdsImpact I honestly really love how the game doesn't make one-sided characters (pure good/pure evil), instead everyone has their own perspective and motives instead of "I am a bad person and I will destroy everyone". I think this makes things a lot more realistic.
@@MurderofBirdsImpact weren't the agents in the chasm sent by Signora/Pulcinella to help the miners in an attempt to improve their relationship with Liyue Harbour and Qixing. But since the osial in incident they got what they came for and abandoned the others fatuus in the chasm.
Arnold you're not even gonna believe this - if you think two brothers and a sister is wild, Childe is the 3RD BORN SON IN HIS FAMILY!!!! And Teucer and Anthon are both confirmed to be younger than him!!!!! And in an Inazuma event in 2021, Childe also has an OLDER SISTER that isn't Tonia!!!!
Yeah, we learned quite a lot about CHilde's family since doing his story quest. I think the reality of how big his family was came to me when we read his character profile lore and voice lines. Bros parents didn't waste any time LMAO
@@MurderofBirdsImpact YES LMAOOO AND WE GET SNEZHNAYA US NEXT YEAR I really hope we see his family!! Teucer is literally my favorite character. It's unlikely, but there are theories that Teucer will become a playable character as at the end of this quest, Childe confirms to teach him how to fight. It would be super cool to have Teucer as a character but I'm not sure if it'll actually happen
Fun fact: Tartaglia's real name, Ajax, comes from Greek mythology. In Greek mythology Ajax's brother is called Teucris. Ajax ends his own life to protect his families Honor. This can be paralleled to Tartaglia falling into the abyss and becoming a new person.

Childe stole my heart immediately as I know more about him. And the cutscene! He squeeze my heart until I say I love him! Damn it! Don't play my feelings Tartagilia!
Bro I can’t see Childe’s story ending without him either being killed in the “final battle” we may have with celestial or something like that, or he sacrifices himself to save his family. It’s just I have a gut feeling he’ll sacrifice himself for his family or us. Just going out in a blaze of glorious fire
his name based on the mythological heros are terrific foreshadowing too. the original Odyssey Ajax died because he killed himself with his own blade to protect his family honor, and Teucer would protect the body to ensure he got a proper burial even if others said that Ajax did not deserve a proper funeral. it's terrific
8:34 What are you talking about? This is just your regular Eastern European childhood.
EU build diff
@@MurderofBirdsImpact I know I wanted to make this a joke, but then I remembered that the version of "eeny, meeny, miny, moe" I was taught was about an old man jumping over bombs and kicking Germans in the teeth, so...
Childe, my very first gacha character (even before getting a 4*!) and my main since 2020 November... I always have a special place for this quest in my heart, it makes me so nostalgic to see content about it because I felt like we finally had a chance to see some stuff into Childe and learn more about him outside of his Fatui agenda and work personality. I hope his second story quest is as in-depth with his background and story as this one and as more hitting as this one. Always thankful to you for putting out quality content Arnold, always looking forward to your reactions and comments about the lore and story of this game , take care of yourself bro
I love quests like these. I think Venti and Childe's story quest are quests were we learen so much about them as characters. On a different note I loved Yelan's quest for the plot itself. This game is full of amazing content.

“Officer I have no idea what she’s talking about!”
Bruhh 😂😂😂
To be fair. No one else knows they are called field tillers except dainsleif, paimon, and the traveler
And the Abyss Order/ you know what else.
and the number 1 of the fatui harbingers
I was so shocked when they namedropped Dottore in the quest...
BIG SAME! I will say though, I knew Dottore was featured in the manga, so this quest only hyped me up more when we got around to reading it! (Manga reading will be uploaded when we get to them btw)
@@MurderofBirdsImpact Looking forward for all time capsules Arnold!
I wonder if Teucer is going to have some plot relevance later on. It seems that amongst Childe's siblings only Teucer has a Greek name like Ajax himself. The other two (Tonia and Anthon) have names that are quite common in Russia.
they'd probably have a Seele-Bronya dymanics in the future
@@jwanacena8704 , who, in what way? Tell me if I'm misunderstanding you, but do you mean to say that Childe and Teucer are going to have the same dinamic as Seele and Bronya, who had, in fact, kissed in the official Honkai Manga. I really hope I'm just stupid and didn't understand you correctly
@@_dragonflies_ nooooooo!!! not that kind of dynamic XD im sorry, that's also like the second thing that came to my mind after i made that comment and it did not sit well with me🗿 forget i asked I don't remember why i thought they were similar aside coming from the same company 🗿
@@jwanacena8704 okay that's alright
I just got kind of scared for a second, I'm happy I misunderstood XD
YESSSS I’ve been waiting for this. Childe is my boyyyyy
I hope you enjoy the video! :)
Iirc in his story profiles, it says that he has other two older siblings. In the English, it's an older brother and sister (and iirc the Chinese just says siblings) so he's technically the middle siblings
Also I'm really happy how you reacted to his quest! I know this is like an old time capsule vid but I had seen others playthrough the quest and not many of them has as much heartfelt and sincere thoughts as yours did so as a Childe simp, this was such a treat to watch through!
8:39 I threatened worse for people who broke a pinkie promise
"Break a pinkie promise, I break your pinkie" was a very common thing that I told people.
Breaking a pinky is not worse than getting your pinky and tongue frostbitten
love how he says till me meet again in shezhnaya even tho we saw him again in inazuma lol
That was likely an unexpected circumstance because Childe was tasked with scouting Inazuma to track down Scaramouche after he went rough after getting the Electro Archon's Gnosis. In contrast, him saying we'll meet in Snzhnaya is something he expects to happen.
@@MurderofBirdsImpact 1 was not expecting you to reply. 2 I feel bad childe was the one who had to but it makes sense one fatui died the other rough and I'm guessing he was in close distance to inazuma
Fun Fact: Snezhnaya (aka Снежная) means "snowy" in the feminine
Masculine will be Snezhnyy (aka Снежный)
And Tsaritsa it's something like "queen" aka "Tsarina" (you can google this word)
And "King" will be "Tsar"
BTW "Tsar's son" will be "Tsarevich"
This quest makes me angry for the sole reason of how quickly Childe grew on me LMAO I went from being so angry to really liking him
Sheeeesh, i love these videos, they are kinda different from most of RUclips reaction i saw! Like, you actually THINK, not just "wow", "what the hell" and "haha roasting paimon", i really like that, thank for giving this on RUclips :D
P. S. Tartaglia is such a good character, I first liked him for the playstile, mechanics, and then everything just showed me i was right liking him in the first place. Fav char and the one i started the game for!
Hey there! I'm glad you enjoyed the video! :)
This was one of my favourite character quests (excluding the babysitting parts 😂). I'm glad you enjoyed it so much too!
9:15 Six-Fingered José could lie twice and pretend like it never happend XD
He unfortunately only has one tongue
I wonder if Snezhnaya have an army of ruin guards that is modified by Dottore. Cuz Teucer says that the ruin guards on Snezhnaya are the good guys.
Childe is my fav character in this whole game and I really hope when he comes back we’ll get more content with him related to the abyss. It’s very possible he knows about travelers sibling and I don’t know why they haven’t asked him yet
Ooo that was so good! I'm so eager to see you read the manga and see how you react to Dottore and Kaeya and Diluc's story!
I loved this quest, and loved "replaying" it from someone else's perspective. Also, I can't wait to know more about Skirk (Not mentioned in the story quest, but she is the girl living in the Abyss who trained Childe and can beat him (at full force) with one hand).
OMG OMG
I just waited for you to do childe's story quest!!
It's finally here! I hope you enjoy it! :)
I keep rewatching this video everytime I feel down , I just love this quest and your reaction to it .
Thank you so much! :)
This character quest's pacing is muah! *chef's kiss*
i loved this quest very much. hoyo knows how to write about “real” human character in fictional anime work. professional at his work, love the family, opportunist, pragmatic, dynamic personalities depends on the person who he talks to, just like us. amazing quest, indeed
i think its so nice that your videos from months ago are just coming out now.. its been such a long time since I've done these quests that watching you play through them makes it feel like I'm playing them again for the first time. really love your videos arnold!
Thank you so much!!
I really do love that he transformed near the end just for his little bro
Let’s go! The man himself Arnold is back,though I gotta admit...no beard Arnold has got it going on. Anyway,I thank you for making my day once more man.
My pleasure!! I'm glad you're enjoying the videos! :)
ahh Dottore~ he's my favorite harbinger for how unhinged he is lol
My thoughts 3 mins after posting: Good video😂
Speedwatchers are built different.
"he's a little childe" that had me rolling omg lol
Amazing video as always~! i love your reactions!
(oh btw, you probably know this now but if you had chosen the "Your brother didn't say anything bad about me, did he?" instead of "it was a pleasure meeting you", he would have told you that Childe said if he ever had a chance, he would quit his job and join the traveler in his journey; or something like that which i think is kind of cool, also there are some interesting things in his character story like him falling in the abyss when he was young, training there, spending 3 months there and when he got out only 3 days has passed,...i think these information could be relevant in the future since Snezhnaya is the last place we will go to before Khaenriah)
I'm a little bummed that you cut out a lot of the quest... I wanted to see your reaction to Teucer's interaction with the sales people and Childe talking about 'toys' to the treasure hoarders
me as well 😭 esp them calling childe ''pretty boy''
Yes I was hoping for this as well
++++
I've been a Childe Main since Day 1 and still am to this day, so I always liked him. But I actually waited a looong time to do this quest and I regretted it, because the moment I did this quest was also the moment I REALLY fell in love with Childe^^
13:09 "Bro, you punch me through a floor on a weekly basis."
4:45 "If you touch my birds again..."
43:22 its me or did paimon's voice sounded so soft here? Lol
I really love the smile Childe gives to Teucer before his foul legacy transformation
In the event ''Into the Perilous Labyrinth of Fog'' Paimon confirms that Childe is stronger than Traveler
It's weird how they dropped Childe so early, but I'm not complaining. Would love to see other Harbingers be playable.
oh heck yea, will have to get to this video later, but I'm loving your Genshin quest videos
edit: I said i'd get back to this video, but I started watching it and haven't stopped xD
Thank you so much! I'm really glad to hear that! :)
@@MurderofBirdsImpact hadn't refreshed and seen your reply and heart and edited my comment. thank you my good sir
Murder: when I get to snezhnaya, one of these! For every one of them! One for yer mother, one for yer father-
I laughed at that because you reminds me of that one meme of one guy emotionlessly slapping everyone in the backyard, including the kids and cops and paramedics- like; *SLAP! SLAP! SLAP! SLAP!-*
Between Childe's fighting style and this quest, it easily cemented him as one of my favorite characters, ... I haven't gone far in regards to getting characters above lv80, and he's 89, with only my Aether being at 90. Also Childe and Oz is one of my strongest combos lol.
i miss the feeling of this quest so much
This quest was such a fun one. Teucer reminded me of my brother... And to think his EN VA is the same as Yanfei, my most favorite pyro character!
Yeah Childe has a LOT of siblings and as the oldest, he's the only one who had to take care of them when they were all young
i think it was mentioned in his character stories that he's actually the third son! so it implies he has two older brothers too at the very least. his parents are both still around too i believe! :D he mentioned he sent cold medicine to his dad in his letter to home too.
@@apocryphalAppleI think tonia is also older
I'm not sure if anyone pointed it out but Tartaglia's delusion form does looks like a superhero cyclops.
8:56 that would’ve been fuckin’ hilarious 😂😂😂
A thing you missed. If after Tucer speak about the letter you took the other choice it say that Childe would quit his job to join you if he could
Now with the new Harbingers I wonder if Arlecchino made that nursery rhyme, for it surely sounds like something she would make.
Things have gone a long way for Arnold, I remember when he started reacting to RWBY s3, and we once called him the title for King of RWBY reacts... like woah.
2:34 Does anyone ever come out there besides bandits and Fatui?
4:10 Lol
5:16 - 5:28 Hit the nail right on the head.
9:34 😂 10:06 LOL
I’ve been waiting for this own :DD
One* lol pfft
Yesss! I'm so excited for this!
I hope you enjoy it! :)
kinda weird not see you without beard n mousthace XD , anyway i hope ganshin patch release soon, cant wait to join ur livestream too arnold
Dude u are really entertaining 😂
1:30am rn ill watch it tmr, great vid as always.
Hey, I appreciate that! You'll have something nice to look forward to tomorrow then! Sleep well! :)
4:11
I mean you've predicted that with a joke, so yeah. He really is
A mini childe
I can't wait for your inazuma reaction dude
Damn, shaving that beard really makes you look like a teenager, a completely different person. Only the voice is the same xD
Don't worry, it's the last time I do it. Sorry for the lasting whiplash it might be causing between videos, LMAO.
@@MurderofBirdsImpact It doesn’t look bad, just different. Gonna take a while to get used to xD
Either we get a Childe story quest part 2 or he better become essential in the archon quest by the time we make it to snezhnaya. I already miss this guy (but not too much for another rerun plss gawd no)
I will always have the weirdest fondest memory for this quest; not because of Childe, i started the game liking him and this quest only added. But for this being my most memorable cutscene death 😂
Mr Cyclops might have exploded my Traveler in the middle of that cutscene looking down at the factory entrance, So I had to run back and rewatch. And that was the day I learned oh it doesn't pause the game during cutscenes.
My second most memorable was during Mona's, traveler managed to get hit by lightning *twice* with that talk with Mona outside mondstadt a little bit before klee shows up. I had been hit with lightning before during cutscenes but that was the only time I managed to get hit twice one after the other, somehow
omg i cant wIy for the Hu Tao quest LOL is so funny and cursed NEJDJD
Hu Tao's quest is lowkey one of my top 5 favorite story quests in the game at this point, so I'm excited to share it with everyone! It'll be uploaded after the next video, which will be Ganyu's Story Quest!
@@MurderofBirdsImpact cant wait!!!!
You know I have a theory about the elements that the traveller had before the start of the game
In science before it was believed that light travells in a special medium called "lumine aether" somthing
I forgot what it is actually called so maybe you can put 2 nad 2 together
The element was light and the abyss element should be darkness
luminiferous aether XD i took physics so it's really nice to see this comment
The names of the Harbingers are based from the characters of The Art of Comedy
If we mix Anthon and Tonia we get Antonia.... are they the puppet and girl from the fatui?
You know a detail I feel like a lot of people overlooked? The Fatui have new recruits... in Liyue. So not just Harbingers, but all Fatui can be from any region. Adds a little paranoia to think that any random Joe off the street can potentially be a Fatui agent out of uniform or they can join later on, no matter where you are or where they are from. Mr Worldwide comes from a worldwide organization, huh?
The house of the hearth adds on to that too, the fatui have their hands in everyone's pockets
"the motherland has dispatched a new batch of recruits to liyue"
45:55
if in you selected the second option, Teucer tells you that Childe told them that "if he could, he would quit his job and join you"
I wonder when we will have his second character quest. I hope it's not in Snezhnaya 🥲
We lowkey had the same reaction when paimon said we plays with her
By the time we get to Snezhnaya, which will likely be in another 3 years, I wonder if they're gonna age him up to match the IRL time if we don't see him again until then.
Hoping playable teucer
@@kaiseejustcant Childe 2.0. Teucer gets an Electro Vision by Celestia, join the Fatui and then get an Electro Delusion by the Tsaritsa. Mirror Childe, lol.
I don't think you would want to be treated by Il Dottore.
man, you're so good at this game, man. love Childe.
and i didn't say it last time but i really appreciate the 2 hour vid. i don't even play it, but all the things you said is absolutely true.
I wish I could replay this quest and see how many ruin guard teams I can annihilate now with Raiden National
Oh well...
I think Childe is neither good nor evil. He's not a hero but he's not a villain either and I think Hoyoverse designing his colour palette to be grey really suits him because he's a grey character and the fact that if you'd notice, Childe's eyes actually look dead. The fact that we were given Teucer really shows that Childe had been similar to his younger brother at one point but whatever he learned from his time in the Abyss forever changed him. If you think about it, a person is only a villain based on perspective. A hero can be seen as a villain in the eyes of the people they fight against after all. If the roles were reversed, we'd think that the traveller is the one who is a villain and getting in the way of the hero's justice.
Oh my! The timing of this video after me being a lil mad at Childe after the Fatui quests in the Chasm #conflicted
Remember, Childe's actions are ultimately an extension of the Tsaritsa, so Childe going through with the Osial plan wasn't anything personal to his fellow comrades that got caught blindsided by the actions of the Fatui during the Liyue Archon quest. But yeah, I definitely felt some conflicting after doing those Chasm quests. So many innocent members got caught in the crossfires.
@@MurderofBirdsImpact I honestly really love how the game doesn't make one-sided characters (pure good/pure evil), instead everyone has their own perspective and motives instead of "I am a bad person and I will destroy everyone". I think this makes things a lot more realistic.
@@MurderofBirdsImpact weren't the agents in the chasm sent by Signora/Pulcinella to help the miners in an attempt to improve their relationship with Liyue Harbour and Qixing. But since the osial in incident they got what they came for and abandoned the others fatuus in the chasm.
16:24 face palm
I swear, Ajax spoiling his little brother too much like that will get him killed someday, or by protecting his family..
Arnold you're not even gonna believe this - if you think two brothers and a sister is wild, Childe is the 3RD BORN SON IN HIS FAMILY!!!! And Teucer and Anthon are both confirmed to be younger than him!!!!! And in an Inazuma event in 2021, Childe also has an OLDER SISTER that isn't Tonia!!!!
Yeah, we learned quite a lot about CHilde's family since doing his story quest. I think the reality of how big his family was came to me when we read his character profile lore and voice lines. Bros parents didn't waste any time LMAO
@@MurderofBirdsImpact YES LMAOOO AND WE GET SNEZHNAYA US NEXT YEAR I really hope we see his family!! Teucer is literally my favorite character. It's unlikely, but there are theories that Teucer will become a playable character as at the end of this quest, Childe confirms to teach him how to fight. It would be super cool to have Teucer as a character but I'm not sure if it'll actually happen
