After 500 years in captivity, Nahida finally got her first hug.
And the meaning of this hug is farewell.
at least she wont remember it ...
@@dizzyyu1995 I don't even know if she's supposed to be happy about that or not :(
makes me cry again 😢
The travelers can give her as many hugs as she wants.
thank you for making this even more painful than it already is
The way Rukkhadevata looks at Nahida is how a mother would look at her child growing up. The feeling itself is profound.
The past nahida and afterlife nahida.
Yeah.. even if they are the same person at core since they are embodiment of Irminsul, Rukhadevata created Kusanali/Nahida from the very same source as hers. So I call their relationship as mother and daughter, or sisters and without any issue. They love each other. The fact that their first and last meeting is ended with hug, make things more sad
Rukkhadevata? Who's that? There's only one Sumeru Archon
@DON'T CLICK THE LINK i wish i read your username before clicking that
@@haziq1096 who? what? i don't understand what you're saying. it's like there was something written on the paper and someone erased it but i can still feel their warmth
Thank you so so so much for allowing me to be the voice of such a wonderful character
Thank you for letting us witness such a wonderful performance
Thank you for your marvelous work 🥲
You are such a great voice actor🎉
You did absolutely beautiful work as Rukkadevata, we won't ever forget it
Congrats on doing that! It was such a sweet and lovely performance you did.
Who came back after Masquerade of the Guilty (Fontaine Act 5). Both these quests were amazing in their own ways! And both made me cry like a waterfall!
Bro really I came back to see this cutscene again. After watching focalors farewell to neuvilette.These two lines "Goodbye people of sumeru may you be blessed tonight with the sweetest of dreams" and "I hope you have enjoyed the part you played this five hundred years" are really icons c❤️
Me. I immediately thought of this scene after finishing the Fontaine archon quest. This moment just made me cry, I HAD to come back to it
@@editzomega420 Same here. As soon as I saw that cutscene, I had to come back to this. Also coincidentally both uses a specific ost from their respective regions which we usually hear when traveling in said regions for the Cutscenes. For sumeru it was "For Riddles for Wonders", and for Fontaine its a custom cover of the main "Fontaine" Track and "Le Souvenir avec le crepuscule"
@@A_ARAFAT They really want us to be sad and depressed while exploring 😭
this far better than sinner finale
I actually shed tears when I first watch this. To think that Nahida has to erase Rukkhadevata's existence with her own hand is so heartbreaking to see.
When we awake, they all said we won, but no one said what we have lost
who's Rukkhadevata? Is that a Sumeru tree?
@@lequan8766 Even some of in game descriptions change because the game forgets her. Rip.
@@daneespenocilla weird name, maybe it's a sunsettia
@@dunyum2dollar624 that’s why it’s suddenly henna berries now?
This scene makes Zhongli's line about the Traveler being an eternal record of Teyvat all the more meaningful, he's the only one in the whole world who will still remember her, so at least she's not completely gone.
Travellers sibling will remember too.
Or basically us players
@@johnhague3372She might not, its said at the end of the quest that the sibling is somehow a part of Teyvat. ((S)hes in the memory of the world Irminsul tree, while you're not as the MC)
So the sibling will not remember most likely since we can remember since we're not part of Teyvat.
But we'll see how it plays out anyway
We find out there are 3 other "descenders". So THEY are likely to remember Rukkhadetata as well.
Edit: That's assuming they heard/read/learned about her at some point. But we don't know, 100% sure, if they did or not
@@Lion632Tanks you know, there's an old theory I read somewhere that both siblings Travelers are wandering Teyvat at the same time but in parallel timelines. I always liked that theory cuz it explains how can both siblings be "Canon". And now with Sumeru and all that stuff about Samsaras, life cycles and whatnot, it seems highly likely. With that in mind, there's a possibility that the abyss twin is not the Traveler's real sibling.
There goes the best archon we've met so far, she did not only saved the people of Sumeru from the forbidden knowledge, she saved all of Teyvat protecting the Irminsul and sacrificing her own self and consciousness for 500 years to halt the infection until her "branch" was ready to "delete" her from existence.
Not only did she saved the whole Teyvat, she did it knowing no one would remember her or her sacrifice, kindness in it's most purest form.
Rest in peace Rukkhadevata.
*peace
@@reweryeah, phone autocorrector fucked it, i didn't even check cause i'm 100% sure i wrote "peace", it will just change it to piece if i don't change it back.
Who's Rukkhadevata?
@@johncarlofernandez2698 I will do you one better, why Rukkhadevata?
@@voidhaze9270 when is rukkhadevata?
"Goodbye, people of sumeru. May you be blessed tonight with the sweetest of dreams"
This line made me lose it.
I just couldn't hold the tears back.
2:10 - I can hold it... Don't cry over a Gacha game... C'ome dude ur a grown up.
2:15 - WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
SAME I NEVER TEARED UP FOR ANY SCENE IN GENSHIN BUT THAT HIT ME HARD FOR NO REASON 😭
😭😭😭
I teared up when Rukkha started to fade. And I sobbed even more when she said goodbye🥺
that line sounded soo full of pain T_T
The trope of someone being forgotten and wiped out from history is such a tearjerker for me. Just imagine the rush of emotions you feel, Annoyance that there is something missing, Anger that you couldn't change the outcome and the Sadness of losing someone important to you, all flowing into you at the same time. And the last nail in the coffin is when the character asks "why am I crying?"
Its cliché but its guaranteed to make audiences sad
Jesus Christ is the propitiation for the whole world's sins. They that believeth and are baptized (with the Holy Spirit) shall be saved; but they that believeth not shall be damned. Those led by the Holy Spirit do not abide in wickedness. 👍🏾
*God is ONE manifesting himself as THREE;* the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit! Bless him! *For these three are one.*
As I am led by the Holy Spirit, nothing I state is a lie, but the truth of God. Anyone who tells you differently is misinformed or a liar. They do not know God, nor led by him.
Anyone who *claims* to be a Christian and is against what I am doing, and where I am doing it; the Holy Spirit does not dwell within them, they lack understanding. They know not God, read his word, and their religion is in vain. Do not hear them, they will mislead you, the lost cannot guide the lost.
When you trust in God and cast your cares (worries, anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts) upon him, they will be NO MORE!
Know that there is power in the name Jesus Christ! His name casts out demons and heals!
The world is wicked, evil, and of the devil.
I too, was a wicked sinner of the world before I opened my heart to God. I am living proof of God's work and fruitfulness! He is an active God who hears the prayers of his! God's children are set apart (holy) and righteous. The devil is a liar that comes to steal, to kill, and to destroy; that includes your relationship with God.
Open your heart to God, repent of your sins (he will forgive you), and let him direct your path. Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands and purify your heart, lest you walk with the devil and follow him to hell.
@@Call_Upon_YAH go away
@@Riddles_and_Rhymes its most likely a bot, just report it and move on. interacting with it will just make youtube think its an actual person and even less likely to do something about it.
This cutscene is just incredibly moving
Thx

NAHIDA BEST CUNNY WAIFU 😭
I think i am the first non bot here
@@ocean7790 You may be a bot acting as a non bot
Sumeru was blessed by two gods; one who never gave up on and loved its people despite being held in captivity for centuries, the other who loved her people so much she was willing to be forgotten and erased completely from existence for their sake.
Yet those ungrateful geezer...
@@FahrizalSurya 😂😂😂😂😂 i laughed cause so true
@@FahrizalSurya i hate them
She was probably one of the purest archons/people we've seen so far, an amazing friend to King Deshret, sacrificing all her power to help him fix his mistake and a great archon to the people, loving and even willing to let them forget all the amazing things she's done for them just so they can live better lives. That's a true archon, loved her and I'm glad atleast the traveler can remember her 😪
Also Zhongli, cause even after this quest, it shows only 2 archons are presently ruling their countries, so can this be an indication that Zhongli is the 3rd of the 4 Descenders in teyvat? Cause his memories didn't change even after this quest and he helped traveller see all this cause he knew he would also die someday and traveler will be the only person in all universes to carry memories of Teyvat even after everyone's death including Zhonglis death
Like before this quest it was showed in Zhongli profile "2 original archons rule thier nations " and after sumeru quest it should have been "3" saying Venti, Zhongli and Nahida, but he somehow knows that he and oly Venti are the only remaining original archons even after Nadiha erased Rukkadevata from everyone's memory in Teyvat
@@prithvirajabnave6073 maybe, but Raiden is also running her country rn
@@reniquesd4338 Ei isn't the "original" archon of Inazuma though, since that was Makoto. The point is that it should be 3 since if Zhongli doesn't remember Rukkhadevata, he would think Nahida is the original archon of Sumeru, whereas it used to be 2 since Nahida isn't actually the original archon
@@redshiftedlight205 idk it said that Ei and her sister were both the archon together and the people thought they were one person no? So technically she is the original archon
Anyways you could be right im a little rusty on the lore
Sumeru's cutscenes are freaking amazing. Makes anyone all emotional
@Nahida 🅥 dont click report
Yes
these bots are everywhere...
NAHIDA BEST CUNNY WAIFU 😭
NPCs as well
We went from "the world forget me" just after we arrive in sumeru, to this scene. It's all came out together beautifully. I love it 😭
as if its for-shadowing of world should forget me or they wont heal of that virus. oh man never thought about that possibility
"Let the world completely forget me."
mmm
OST used is "Ethereal Mildness"(Piano half) and "For Riddles, For Wonders"(Sitar+Flute half). Also, peak emotional damage, the writers nailed it with sumeru. We'll always remember you, Rukkhadevata ; - ;
I'VE BEEN LOOKING EVERYWHERE FOR THIS THANK YOU
Ty for this
In many cultures, a commonly held belief is that as long as one person remembers your name, remembers your face, remembers your actions, you never truly die. As long as The Traveler remembers Rukkhadevata, she will always live.
This part was heart breaking to me, they really showed the emotion and heartbreak in her. The feeling of sadness and frustration was perfectly played
NAHIDA BEST CUNNY WAIFU 😭
Yeah this story quest was a step above the rest in terms of emotion
Thank youuu
mmmmm
Sad bro
I love how there is no dramatic and magnificent chorus in this scene, just sweet calming theme of Sumeru that puts its people in a greatest dreams of all time
and now when I hear that song in the game I get instant sad
@@Schinak same here lol
@@Schinak same
mmm
This song...
"For Riddles, for Wonders"
Won't be heard the same as I heard it the first time anymore...
Can't believe it's already been a year since this quest..
Me too...
_"A person dies when he is forgotten"_
is this a one piece reference 😭?
She's an archon who didn't just save her people but the whole world
So i hope everyone in teyvat will someday remember about the most wisest and the most kindest archon "rukkhadevata"
Who?
Unfortunately, only the traveler will remember her, since he is from another world, everyone in Teyva except for him will never know who he was, since his existence was completely erased.
@@soulheat funny thing is the Aranara quest is a foreshadowing for this quest itself. The aranara may forget, but the forest will remember.
mmmmm
@@avocado3-in-182 nah, I’ve seen clips if you do the Cabbage Quest after the Archon, it ends with “not even the forest remembers”
Sumeru is so blessed to have one of the most gentle and caring archons. Rukkhadevata protected and guided them for thousands of years, willing to exhaust all her power for the people of sumeru and willing to be forgotten to save the world. And then we have nahida, she's young but she already showed so much potential to grow up like Rukkhadevata, or even better. People of Sumeru should love and treasure their archons more💗
The Sages past and Azar never knew true wisdom after all… ironic.
I 100% agree
Rukkhadevata？Who is she？
@@gonku ur mom
@@Deeznat69 No, I don't remember
I think in terms of being an actual God, Rukkhadevata comes closest to it by a long shot. Yeah the other Archons were almighty and powerful, but Rukkhadevata literally did more for all of Teyvat and any Archon we've seen so far, and she had a lot more to her than just power.
That's why every other archon respects her a lot. You can hear them in their voice lines
Soo true..I've only heard archons's destruction powers but this was the first time I saw an archon creating something ❤❤ she is true god
Even daiself held her with high regards
After fontaine, she and focalors are top tier gods who are willing to sacrifice themself for the sake of their people
I am a 36-year-old adult, lawyer and businessman, but genshin has accompanied me these last two years of my life through good and bad, and I can only say that that final scene makes me see how sometimes we just have to know how to say goodbye. I love it
Age Doesn't matter for emotion
Nobody cares about your humble brag flex about your job or age bud just enjoy the scene
@@trollking6315yeah but sadly high chance people would make fun of one for being "jobless"
@@trollking6315insecurity detected
Glad to hear that I thought I was the only adult who plays genshin
"Goodbye people of Sumeru."
I can't imagine needing to say goodbye after 1500 years of being together..
Goodbye rukkadevata you will be missed.. ❤️

1500? Teyvat doesn't run on the Julian Calendar.
@@teukurian090598 Rukkadevaka is the god of wisdom, the *first* god of wisdom. Nahida is the second one.
Fun fact - this just took the crown of best archon quest and set the bar high for future archon quests.
I was never expecting any archon quest to top Chasm archon quest for this year, but Sumeru exist and just takeover the crown instantly. 🤣
And nahida is now my most favorite archon.
@@FireBlueZ dain interlude archon quest is coming in an upcoming version i think. With a mega lore bomb sumeru gave i am so excited to see abyss sibling and dain.
@@ShanMichaelEscasio Gigachad who gave some nukeworthy lore bomb
Especially since the quest took an extra 2 acts
Imagine if Inazuma had an extra act or 2
And then Hoyoverse hits us with this theme again before going to Fontaine (Archon Quest while saying goodbye to Dehya and Sumeru)
Yea I noticed that too! I heard the piano come on and initially thought it was just the regular track that sometimes plays at night. Then it transitions to the sitar and I realise "wait no this is intentional"
I literally swore the moment the OST plays
I was like "Oh come on, f*ck you Hoyo for reminding me one last time before we leave this nation"
I was excited to see Fontaine the moment it came out and they just had to joke about it one last time
Hands down, this is the best archon quest yet. Everything about it is absolutely wonderful
Absolutely agree
Sumeru is cutscene powercreep with all the facial expressions
@@l4g ok
@Nahida 🅥 dont click report
These bots💀💀
NAHIDA BEST CUNNY WAIFU 😭
first cutscene with real tears
She gained eternal peace just like Makoto, Tomo, and Teppei. I wonder how many more characters will we cry for in this game. Dang it 😭
Who is tomo?
NAHIDA BEST CUNNY WAIFU 😭
@@AftabNaik It's Kazuha's dead friend. We don't know his real name, but fans calling him "Tomo" which means "friend" in Japanese
Unlike those 3 tho, no one remembers her, not any archon, not any of her followers, not a single living being that was born in teyvat, the only one who remembers her is traveler and possibly 3 other people.
.. Nope it's worst, she delete her very own existence, which mean even her soul didn't exist.
Fontaine's quest was absolutely incredible, but this just has a special place in my heart.
Samee. As much as I love the last act of Fontaine, the entirety of Sumeru from start to end just hits differently
That “Good-bye people of Sumeru, may you be blessed tonight with the sweetest of dreams” gets me every time
The fact that people remember King Deshret, who brought this plight in the first place and no one will remember the sacrifice of Greater Lord Rukkhadevata who saved not only Sumeru, but whole Teyvat is more heartbreaking....
Yet ironically as well, the King begged his people to forgive Rukkhadevata and to acknowledge her hand in their existence. Such a shame that that message never made it to the people for the longest time.
Don’t put King Deshret in a bad light. He also killed himself in an attempt to save his people, he just failed to do it completely.
This wasn't king deshret's forbidden knowledge. Rukadavata was infected due to something Kanreah was doing
the forbidden knowledge brought by King deshret isnt the one that forced Rukkadevata to sacrifice herself. She was corrupted after the cataclysm, due to the khan'riahn disaster, not king deshret bringing forbidden knowledge
@@pyrite2060 but we know tha Rukkhadevata lost her power and got the child-form after disaster brought by King deshret. So it's happened at Nahida's bursday - 500 yers ago, after Khan'riahn disaster.
When I realized the true depth of the phrase "world, forget me", it really shocked me. Rukkadevatha sacrificed so much, so many times for the people she loved, and now this ultimate sacrifice. It feels so unfair. Sadness and beauty, I never thought I could experience both at the same time.
@GenShit Poster In the end, only the Traveler remembers her. By breaking the fourth wall, we can say that "The Traveler" are all of us playing the game. So we will remember her. All millions of us. That's my silver lining.
"Let the world completely forget me." :")
I still remember. A whole year has passed, but it seems like a month has passed...
Me too 😢
Still remember people were ready to unalive azar when they saw her crying in trailer.
"Only dreams can awaken consciousness from the deepest darkness"
That's honestly a line that we need to remind ourselves of more often
As good as Ei and Makoto final scene. Just Beautiful.
Dont click report
NAHIDA BEST CUNNY WAIFU 😭
I can see some Stans attacking this comment, but i can say it IS as good as that cutscene
The Ei / Makoto scene was incredible, but to me, arguably this was way more moving. Probably my favorite cutscene in the entire game rn
Ei and Makoto's scene in my opinion looked better aesthetically but this looked better cinematically
I know this scene is sad, but it helps me to know that at least the Traveler still remembers her ❤
But where are those who share the memory
@@StarsInSummer Osmanthus Wine tastes the same as I remember
@@StarsInSummer I still don't get how only traveler remember her, i mean how about people outside sumeru or other archon like zhongli and venti
@@yrahman traveller is not from this world, that's why they remember
@@yrahman She's wiped out entirely from all the ley lines of Teyvat. Everyone who is from the world of Teyvat was affected by this, thus, only the ones who aren't from this world remember her.
The most heartbreaking and heartwarming part is when rukkhadevata holds nahidas teary face and hugs her knowing how difficult it is for nahida to erase someone who she is part of and literally given birth to her. Then comes rukkhadevata's peaceful smile before disappearing knowing nahida will be allright and she can leave irminsul to her hands while nahida tries to hold on to her tighter fearing whats coming next. The music just perfectly hits hard on all aspects beautifully in a meloncholic manner. I never thought i could tear up this hard in genshin, nahidas precious teary face just made it even worse for me.
Sumeru was the most impactful part of genshin for me
and now after fontain?😢
I'm 37 years old and I play many games, but ever since I play Genshin, its scenes are spectacular, but this is the best, I've never been so moved by a scene that made me cry.
Ikr … and I’m an older gamer too, retired and seen a lot of unpleasant things in my life but a good story with memorable characters will invoke an emotional response like this Archon story did … my daughter gets a kick out of her old dad crying at a video game but I don’t care … it was that darn good 😌
hey, I'm 1 month from turning 42 and Genshin is a blast to play. Having gamed since the age of 8, I'm a sucker for good stories and gameplay, so it's a no-brainer. and this archon quest is simply the best one so far, hands down.
37 here too and this game made me cry more times that most of my whole game's collection put all together. I play games since I was 5 and the art design, script and how they manage to make characters feel alive and with charisma, even while being a simple NPC with its little story to tell, is something that no other games can achieve. You really engage with the characters and the story, and you remember them all.
I tried a new game the other day which was in closed Beta...gameplay was good but it felt so empty, 0 charisma, 0 soul...suffice to say I deleted it and I will pretend it will never existed.
same
Yup, I am also in my mid 30s and in the more than three decades since my old man gave me an Snes in 1991 I can perhaps name three or four other games that had given me the same quality of emotions this game has.
This is probably the greatest sacrifice one can make. You can die and save the world but your soul will remain, but Rukhadevata not only die, she also delete her own existence to save the whole Teyvat. I have never been so emotional before while playing Genshin Impact. 💔
We won the war againts the sage, and we also finally cured the Imirsul tree, but at what cost? We might as well say we lose when we can't keep Rukhadevata existence.
Who're you talking abt again?
@@crisiscringe3710 don't hurt me like that bro
It does hurt me as well, the people of Sumeru loved her so much, and now they can't even remember her...
In other circumstances, one could at least remember, and let the person live in memories, but she doesn't even get that
the wound in deep.
@@crisiscringe3710 bro people keep talking about this rukhadevata person, i've never even heard of them
"Goodbye, people of sumeru"
Still tearing up everytime I hear this line😭😭😭😭 I watch this video more than six time already... Always fail to hold back tears everytime that line came in
Same
Who else watched this so many time they memorized all of rukkha's lines unintentionally 💀💀
Basically me with most of Honkai Short Animation
As Zhong Li said, we shall be the one who unearth all the buried mysteries and stories, and witness all of them, remembering, and bring all the stories into the next world.
Like, comparing genshin characters to a game in the future that surpasses genshin.
So nobody's gonna talk about the incredible voice acting? Someone should give Kimberly an oscar for it
I thought Rukkhadevata here was voiced by Haypasia's VA though?
Sounds like Lumine
she didnt talk here, the other nahida talk
So who voice Rukhadevata? Kimberley or Haypasia's VA?
i thought it was mona lul
It takes a lot to make my cry, but this cutscene did it for me. I also cried a little when Ei was talking about how she wept while cradling her dying sister in her arms, but this is one cutscene that will stay with me forever. Now, the music that plays sometimes in Sumeru City will always remind me of this cutscene, and I'll start tearing up again.
And it's because of the immense sacrifice that Nahida made for Sumeru, Teyvat, and the world as a whole, that I put down quite a bit of money to not only get her, but also her weapon. I've never pulled on the weapons banner until now, someone like her deserves her signature weapon, and not just a cheap 4-star one. She had that much of an effect on me.
Simply put, Nahida is the best Archon in the game. I doubt any of the other Archons--even the ones for Fontaine, Natlan, and Snezhnaya, whom we haven't met yet--would hold a candle to Nahida. Her kindness, benevolence, wisdom, and humility have touched even my stone-cold heart, and thus she is now my favorite Archon.
i think rukkhadevanta made the immense sacrifice here
@@khush7444 If you want to put it another way, Nahida sacrificed Rukkhadevata (her past self, basically) to cure Irminsul and save Sumeru.
Pretty sure the Tsaritsa has a tragic backstory as well.
Makes sense. I did the exact same and luckily got her signature weapon against all odds. Never in my life did I whale for a character/weapon, nor will I ever do it again. But Nahida is so precious, she just deserved it.
@@lowliethxd1471 Coming a few months late, but my theory is that the Tsaritsa is actually being manipulated by a Rasputin-like character affiliated with the Abyss Order, disguising himself as a trusted advisor. After all, their goals appear to be similar: defy Celestia and overthrow the Heavenly Principles.
My guess is he is trying to manipulate the Tsaritsa to obtain the Gnoses of the other Archons, and the Fatui, being loyal to the Tsaritsa, do not know she is being manipulated.
Then comes the Traveler, who breaks the Tsaritsa free of her puppet master, which causes the advisor to steal all the Gnoses, including the Tsaritsa's, becoming a great monster in the process.
The Traveler defeats the monster, acquires the Gnoses, becomes an almighty being akin to that of a god, and then journeys to the ruins of Khaenri'ah to take the fight to the Abyss Order and their sibling, aided by the Seven Nations of Teyvat.
How can Nahida not be the best archon after seeing that?
Just because she's crying? Or do you mean rukkhadevata
I feel bad for Greator Lord Rukkhadevata
This scene was one of the saddest and I wasn't expecting that to be what happened that made nahida cry
Greater Lord who?
It felt heartbreaking man, the world of teyvat completely forgot her now including paimon and only the traveller has all the memory of her. 😔😔
who is Rukkhadevata?
@@crisiscringe3710NO IT'S REM ALL OVER AGAIN :(
I still don't get how only traveler remember her, i mean how about people outside sumeru or other archon like zhongli and venti
The voice acting is incredebile...if you listen carefully you can hear that Rukkhadevatas voice starts shaking at the point when she is saying "Goodbye people of sumeru..." 💚
Chloe Eaves said that she was on the verge of crying at that point, hence the shaky voice
I don’t usually cry at videogames. But Genshin Impact’s impact (pun unintended) and the emotion and love that is put into this world and characters is so deep and beautifully constructed. When Rukkhadevata sacrificed herself in this scene, I was entirely in shambles. And I still tear up at this scene today.
This was such a memorable moment. A pinnacle of this game and storytelling in gaming itself 💚
I wish i could watch this for the first time again
I cried a lot. Genshin always have the well written stories. Good bye rukhadevata, may your soul be eternal.
Who is Rukkhadevata?
[][][] will be missed

The Inazuma Archon Quests would like to have a word with you.
@@hughg.rection1421 At least Ei quest fix that so it not that trash level
@@hughg.rection1421 only the archon quest.
For those still confused about Rukkhadevata and Kusanali connection after 3.2 Archon Quest. Imagine a Rose plant, suppose the plant is dying or corrupted, you simply take out a healthy rose branch/stem and then place it in another pot where it grows into a healthy plant again. Now it wouldn't matter even if the original plant died, since the cut off branch will still live on independently.
I think a better comparison is an apple,if you plant an apple,the new apple from the new tree isnt the same as the old one,yet they share similarities.
@@toffee_todd if you use planting an apple analogy, that's just an offspring, like how parent and children share similarities but not the same, and nahida is not rukkha's child.
The og comment analogy is more suitable since you can take and plant the branch, and the branch can grow into a new tree, but both are basically still the same plant.
@@iamSONEind personally that's how it seems like. they arent the sa.e yet one is like the other
@@toffee_todd OP's analogy makes more sense when you consider the dialogue. Rukkhadevata mentioned that she and Kusanali come from the same source (Irminsul). However as Rukkhadevata is the avatar of Irminsul and represents the whole tree, Kusanali came from the branch of the tree. So both archons came from the tree, but are different people entirely because of their own experiences and knowledge.
Remember the title "The Morn A Thousand Roses Bring".
1:31 omg this drop... I can't hold my tears 😭
I'm loving how Chloe Eves, the VA who did this amazing work on our beloved former Archon, is answering many of the comments. It feels so good to see someone doing an amazing job and being proud of it! Chloe, if you read this, thanks! You deserve all the love for giving us such an emotional and powerful performance. Thanks, HoYoverse, for the amazing music and visuals too! ❤
I legit teared up on this scene, good job on this archon quest
Me too. I was on this part loke 3 hours ago. Couldnt help but cry.
This is the most emotional scene of any archon quest so far! You've truly outdone yourself, Hoyoverse.
@Nahida 🅥 fu
IMO it's on par with Ei-Makoto cutscene from Ei's second quest (though technically it's not an archon quest I guess)
I heard sumeru archon quest was made by the writer who made most of the honkai impact story.
@@BarbecuePasta now that makes me anxious for what kind of horror awaits in the near future
@@x_Psyduck_x Doesn't count as an Archon Quest though
Nahida is but a "branch" of Rukkha that was untainted by frobidden knwoledge, and that Rukkha herself chose to let go as her new self in the new samsara. With no previous memories, Nahida was able to become her own "tree", but upon recollecting all that happened, losing Rukkha is literally losing a part of herself. This is an extremely cool metapgor for change--its a classic in storytelling, but for a reason: when you grow, you must let go of the old survival systems, the parts that are holding you back, so that you can move forward. Letting go of this part of yourself is painful, it leaves you scared and a bit directionless moving forward (like Nahida was for a long time), and has to be mourned (like Nahida does in this scene), but it's necessary. This kind of letting go is what Rukkha did as she devised her plan to combat forbidden knowledge and formed Nahida from her own self. The silver lining is twofold: 1)once you acknowledge this, Rukkha isn't forgotten nor gone at all; she and Nahida are indeed two phases of the same person, with the latter one being born to adapt to the new challenges. 2)the part of yourself that you let go of no loonger decides the direction of your life, but it's still in you, like an old friend.
I love this so much.. thank you..
@@zeean531 Happy you liked it
After playing Nahida's second story quest, and the traveler panicking and stopping Nahida from doing any sacrifices because we know and we cannot go through this again 😭😭😭
This scene made me shed tears so bad.
Sacrificing not only your life, but your very memory to the people who know and love you just to be erased from history to protect them is the greatest self sacrifice there is.
Genshin's writing is so good, i doesnt feel like some gacha game plot but an actual experience and life lesson.
Thank you Mihoyo for an amazing archon quest.
At least we the traveler will never forget her
Most gacha games are like this. They focus on the story rather the gameplay. It's quite a feat that Genshin manage to balance between story and gameplay and make it f2p. I'm actually impressed by the fact it's not a full fledged game. And by that I mean, that instead of a gacha it could be a finished project that you actually had to pay for it.
Well i already know how good they are when writing story in honkai so no doubt for genshin but just a little too slow but well it is planned to be slow af
mmmm
The last words, the monologue of the forgotten Greater Lord Rukkhadevata, is truly heartbreaking.
We all nestle under the great tree of wisdom, peering out to perceive the world
From the earth, and from the rain, we perceive its wonders...
Once upon a time, I alone dreamed in this world
In my dreams, everybody would also dream after they fell asleep
Wild and wonderful thoughts would emerge from their minds
Some tumbled to the ground, and others floated to the sky
Connecting all things in the world into one dazzling net
Among a plethora of worlds, were numerous smaller worlds
All of fate, finding within the tapestry their brilliant glow
I gradually understood
That these indescribable and constantly changing things
Are the most profound things in the world
Only they
Can completely repel the madness
Only dreams
Can awaken consciousness from the deepest darkness
I'm the one who posed this question
Yet also the one who sought a solution
Saving the world with the dreams of the people
Used to be my answer
And now
You've also found your own answer
And I shall return all the dreams to the people
Goodbye, people of Sumeru
May you be blessed tonight with the sweetest of dreams
It's been half a year already? Damn felt like yesterday...
Still makes me cry
Same here man; I watch this everyday and still feel like crying
Gordon Ramsay be cuttings onions around here like crazy huh.
I can’t listen to this ost while roaming in Sumeru anymore without tearing up, honestly the best ending cutscene to any quest in Genshin so far
I think the statue of the seven is actually rukkhadevata hugging the branch that became nahida as in 0:51
Holy sh*t I didn't noticed that?! So the statue of Seven in Sumeru is about both of their Archons, the Greater Lord and the Lesser Lord
Yup.Its the same thing.This was a very huge Easter egg.🤯
This was extremely well executed, this has become my favorite Genshin Impact moment
We are currently in Fontain, September 8th of 2023, and this cutscene STILL makes me SOB
Imagine being forgotten to the point that you never exist?😭This is the 4th time that makes me emotional on a game ngl, the first one is Amos lore, second the nameless yaksha, third is guizhong lore, and now this, its like saying goodbye to your old self even you forgot about it, its still "you" because of your past self makes you who you are. You will never be forgotten Greater Lord Rukkhadevata traveler will always remember you. At this point traveler is not just a savior but also a pain carrier.
don't forget dear makoto :')
@@dhaniya7646 and Ruu
@@ykmnkmi and Kazari
@@mahks-pectith3179 and Arama…
…wait, does it count?
Kazari also sacrificed for the people and then land, in a very familiar way, that was the saddest moment. Travel should be crying in the serenitea pot every day bcs of all the loses
The storytelling in Genshin continues to improve and play with our emotions more each time. Change is inevitable, even to greater power of gods, Nahida may be inexperienced as of now, but we know she has what it takes to be the new Greater Lord.
If you know the concept of grafting, thats how Nahida born. I really like the idea Hoyo picks in creating this story line!!! So well thought, and this story is really touching
The VA did an amazing job displaying emotions, I cried real bad. The world has forgotten you but we Travellers will always remember you Greater Lord Rukkhadevata 😭
After 6 months playing this game, this is the first scene of Genshin that just made burst into tears. Sumeru archon quest is built so damn good this time.
A big step up from the Inazuma Archon Quest for sure
honkai team writers join the genshin team
it really is! i think Sumeru's archon quests are my favorite ones so far :)
@@traveler5541 Ffs they have different teams, just because the company is same that doesn't mean they will have same team for all their games. You honkai fans are something else.
I finished this yesterday
this cutscene made me crying so hard
She deserves the entire world
The best Archon among those who we know
she helped us and told us some Lore about our sister
well shes the only who has access to irminsul so I don't really think u get to compare them cause that seems unfair y'know
@@dhaniya7646 no you can, zhongli knows something but cannot tell us
@@dhaniya7646 Venti and Zhongli literally know everything and witnessed everything that happened by their own eyes but didn't tell a single thing, f**k them.
@@ry1774 yea he can't clearly because of celestia, whilst nahida isn't. knowing he's no longer an archon, celestia is probably paying a close attention to him and venti ig since they don't want them running of their mouths
@@x_Psyduck_x every archons have their reasons and it's already clearly stated that their binded towards celestia, just because their archons doesn't mean the can do whatever they want can they? like dain said the gods are nothing but another being living in teyvat, but somehow nahida isn't applied by this rules so idk
Watching this, I can make my bedroom a river with to much teardrop
Goodbye, people of Sumeru. May you be blessed tonight with the sweetest of dreams...
This cutscene made me emotional tbh and the fact that everyone including nahida didnt remember her excluding traveller 😢
this was so beautiful seeing the relationship and emotion captured through this cutscene, genshin has outdone its self yet again
Fontaine and Sumeru were both 10/10 quests. Such and emotional roller coaster.
As much as i love the emotion and depression in sumeru and fontaine. I really hope Natlan is focused a lot on fighting and epic battle scenes. (Of course with some depression sprinkled around)
@@_Choco_True, enough with sad cutscenes, I want those old school FF-esque fight cutscenes in Natlan. Capitano vs Murata bring it on Hoyo.
When I thought it's not going to be that sad until I complete the quest myself last night, literally on tears
Even when every person in that world forgot about Rukkhadevata. But not us, the travelers, each and every one of the players, she will always be remembered in our heart.
*They definitely nailed it in the final act of Sumeru's Main Story.* 😭💔
So many emotions, so much great storytelling, an amazing villain, an awesome team that actually felt like a team, etc. *This was incredible.*
Whenever it's recommended, I come watch this video knowing full well that it will make me cry inside.
I managed to hold back the tears for most of the scene, but seeing Dunyarzad and Collei being healed of Eleazar was too much for me... Maybe only Aether/Lumine will be able to remember Great Lord Rukkhadevata, but every Genshin Impact player will never forget her.
Same too😭
We will not forget you Rukhadevatta. We will cherish your kindness and your gentle nature.
Who is Rukhadevatta?
Travelers won’t but everyone else has including Kusanali😭
@@mark9152 idk man, i don't remember writing comment above too.
Who is it, again?
Who's Rukhadevatta, is that some kind of metaphor?
I already broke down when she touched nahidas cheek and they hugged.
This cutscene is so sad and beautiful at the same time.
Who could think there is something more sad than makotos final Goodbye to Ei 😭😭😭😭💚
Its so freaking sad that she will be forgotten by the whole world 😢
I remember finishing the quest at 11PM knowing that I had school but decided to still go through the whole archon quest. I was literally tearing up but had to cry silently so no one can hear me.
“Goodbye Rukkhadevata, may you Rest In Peace. I will always remember you and what you have done for the entirety of Teyvat.”
I thought she was kidding about the whole "Let the world forget me" thing, the next thing I know Nahida and Paimon completely forgot her existence. That part literally got me acting up...
even the forest forgets. aranara 😭 we won but at what cost, and in the end just like zhongli said, we as the travelers, even we archons erroded, all is lost and gone, would be the only one to remember their history
@@dhaniya7646 wait really?? How do you know that? I asked because I'm still on my way doing the Aranara quest and the mentions of Rukkhadevata after this might be awkward lol
Just like Raiden Shogun's second story quest, this is a bittersweet moment.
Greater Lord Rukadevatha sacrificed herself and no longer remembered by the people of Teyvat, except us. But on the other hand, the people of Sumeru have regained the ability of dream and Elezar is gone. I was sad, of course, but I smiled a little when the scene switched to Dunyarzard and Collei. The music is grand too as usual from Genshin.
I mean, look at Collei hugging Cullein-Anbar while sleeping. She's precious and glad she is cured after what she has been through in the web comic. I wonder if Amber has done the same with Baron Bunny.
This is peak writting right there, well done Hoyoverse
I still come back to this scene, every now and again. Fontaine Archon Quest was amaing but the entire composition of this scene is just so beautiful.
The part when she said goodbye gives me shivers every time :(
may you be blessed tonight with the sweetest of dreams😭
For me, this is really one of the super sad moments moment in genshin I seen so far, rukkhadevata sacrifice herself with her last thought for kusanali, and the whole of sumeru, during her sacrifice, she took all peoples memories of sumeru that remembers her. Not sure if the archons have forgotten about her or not but sure enough, everyone, even kusanali forgotten her when she come out and don't know why she cry, the only thing she can remember is something is missing for her, sumeru really have the greatest archons in the whole of tervat, but sadly one of the greatest archon was forgotten and left sumeru for the better future
The archons did forget her aswell, she erased the memories of her stored in the Irminsul which is the collective memory of every living thing on Teyvat (even the abyss sibling), the only exceptions are the "descenders", Irminsul can't collect data from them, so their memory can't be affected by any change on the Irminsul.
MIHOYO STOP PLAYING THIS OST AT SUMERU CITY I BEG YOU
Sumeru story is still my favourite
Best archon quest hand down🙌🤭
This scene was so sad yet really pretty
In the end, she was gone, not even the forest will remember, not even Buer herself will remember. Yet, the Traveler still remember.
this is the 4th time genshin made me cry 😭
i hate the 'someone forgot something important' plotlines because they always feel so painful and unfair, but it was so beautifully executed that i love it even though i hate it 😭
nahida wasn't the only one crying there, my keyboard got flooded with my tears as well 😥
i also loved the moment when rukkhadevata told kusanali she may become even a better archon than rukkhadevata herself ever was 🥺 yes she may 🥺 she will 🥺
She may be yeah 😔 Only until Nahida will eventaully have to face the same fate as Rukkhadevata :(
@@jimmyjay9974 nahida goes with her own fate
