Archon Quest

Honestly i would say nefer's, god it was so draining and LONG! i'll say it took me TWO weeks to finish it along with the archon quest, y'all know that rerir scene where he was signing the papers? we did the EXACT same thing with nefer, except we didn't even sign anything and we only looked at the letters, there WAS a letter i kinda agreed with, but that's not the point.

Her story quest was literally just shoved in and i feel like it was just made last-minute, the most cringy scene was nefer laughing her ass off and thinking of herself as a liar's little girl after the two tribes were dead.

Oh and don't even get me STARTED on when nefer said goodbye to her friend she had the nerve to think, "oh i'll forget about you anyway." like girl wtf was THAT? honestly they did her dirty, they literally made her the most insufferable character in just ONE patch.

Apparently the archon quest + story quest plan was SO bad of an idea, hoyoverse didn't do it with durin's story quest.

Anyway, i don't remember anything that happened in nefer's story quest except for the parts i mentioned, and thank god i don't.

Stupid question, but what do you think? I mean, spoilers aside, we know that until Sumeru Archon Quest people in Sumeru couldn't dream once they grew up. But do they if they leave Sumeru?

So while watching the Luna 3 archon quest playthrough, I arrived to the part that added another piece to Wanderer’s already scattered puzzle of a backstory. So far, important bits of his origin have only been found in limited time events, but now, we finally have another one in a main quest that doesn’t directly revolve around him.

According to Wanderer, he was created from an Irminsul branch. This pretty much reveals the technology Raiden was using to create puppets, and considering her close ties with Istaroth, this makes a lot of sense, actually.

And do you know who was also created from an Irminsul branch? Nahida. I dunno, but this could make them related in some way or another. Like distant family or smth. No wonder they have such an adorable familial dynamic. They came from the same “parent”.

Just leaving this here as a food for thought.

While i was doing the quest just now (yes, the archon quest, procrastinator), I noticed Old rerir...Runs like a npc.

Not sure if the same applies to the current Rer, or if this really matters, (as i guess they COULD just swap the running animations out), but i sincerely doubt old rerir at least will be playable. Despite him and Tholindis having very unique, playable looking designs.

One of the biggest mysteries that we didn't get our answers to in the disaster that was the Natlan finale, was about the final part of the Natlan Teaser, where we see Mavuika talking to someone. To this day we have no confirmation about who this person is, and since all eyes are on Nod-Krai right now, I haven't seen any theories about it lately, so I had a thought

After Natlan's AQ was over, I had seen some theories about how the teaser takes place after the Natlan AQ. The main piece of evidence was the fact that Chasca talks about her now dead sister wondering if "she will be watching". When the teaser came out we had no idea what she was talking about, but after the Archon quest it did make more sense.

So, my theory is, the person that Mavuika is talking to is actually Capitano. Now, this might not make any sense, because Capitano appears in that teaser (in a place that is suspiciously like what we saw of the Mare Jivari) but of course we have to keep in mind that when the teaser released we had no idea that what it was about, and it was more or so there just to introduce the new characters, so of course they had to show Capitano. But with the assumption that the teaser takes place after the Natlan AQ, and the knowledge that he is dead, it makes me wonder if Mavuika is talking to him.

When talking to this mysterious person, she seems very solemn about it, and even tells them to "rest now" which fits with Capitano, and she also mentions creating a "new fate" and with Capitano also basically in charge of Natlan's Ley Lines, that could be something he might be capable of doing.

But that's just what I think, I'm still the #1 twist villain Mavuika truther so maybe this theory is a bit biased, but I just want to know other people's thoughts on this

As an unrelated side note, starting next week when the next patch drops I'm going to be taking a pretty extended break from the wiki to avoid any and all spoilers going forward. I'll be honest, I'll probably only come back when Mare Jivari releases just because of how bored I am with Nod-Krai and it's current storyline.

that quest scarred my life. I'm not ready for Nod-Krai one yet.

Divided into:

- Those who are central to the game's overarching plotline;

- Those who are supportive to the game's overarching plotline;

- Those who are central only to their nation's main plotline or lore;

- Those who are supportive only to their nation's main plotline or lore;

- And those who do not contribute to the main plotline, whose main purpose is to enrich the world.

Still on the Natlan archon quest with ineffa i think her name is? I have a c5 qiqi now 💀 also just got a c1 Alhaitham with two wishes..? 😃

I’m trying to see if I should do it all in one go or take it slowly but I heard most of the nod krai new characters are in there and I started a bit of it looking good so far

Remember: no leaks or spoilers!

Act 1: I think we’ll get on that boat with Ineffa, sail to Nod Krai, get ambushed by monsters, meet Flins who saves us, go with him to a settlement/civilization, meet Lauma who is the Moonsomething of the Frost Scion thingies, learn there is a problem that merits our attention (like the power of the moon fading since the last moon sister is almost dead), meet with the leader of the Scion thingamajigs, try to figure out a plan.

Act 2: We come up with a plan, which doesn’t work, then something happens in another area so we travel there, maybe meet Aino, suddenly BIG PROBLEM (maybe abyss or smth), barely survive, more stuff, then ooh Columbina teaser at the end cutscene.

Im at the part in the newest quest where ineffa reacts to the flower, but then she mentions the "danger risk" she poses to the ffc, so traveler and paimon say they could help maintain her.

But then, she scans them both. Traveler, saying, "Risk mitigated"

But with paimon, she says the words, "analyzing relative Combat capabilities... Paimon: approximately one fifth."

Now, the scenes played for, "ha ha, paimons weak funny moment", and paimon responds, "1/5 of what!?"

...but Ineffa doesnt really understand comedy and jokes that much. And while it still could be totally for laughs and giggles and just a fact that paimons not strong, it made me realize...

Phanes split himself into 5 pieces. Exactly.

Life, Death, Time, Space, and Logic.

Honestly, this is the only other thing in the game that i can think of relating to the number 5. And its the fact that she says "approximately 1/5". When, logically, wouldnt paimon at least have gotten a little stronger on our journey just from growing up?

Unless, by "relative combat capabilities", its meaning paimons true form. 1/5 of her true self.

I just wanted to post a discussion for those who have played both Hsr and Genshin. Do you guys prefer the Traveler or the Trailblazer?

Me personally, I prefer the Trailblazer because they feel more... real in a sense? To me, the Trailblazer is allowed to have main character moments without it impeding on the roles of other characters. In the new Amphoreus mission, I enjoyed how each character had their own part to play, and the Trailblazer had a significant role while not being the center of attention.

That's what I feel is missing with the Natlan Archon Quest. Especially in Act 5, there's too much focus on the Traveler and how amazing they are instead of those around them. It feels like Hoyo was trying too hard to make them seem perfect. Also the Traveler glazing celebration was not necessary.

However, I do understand why some don't like the Trailblazer because they're dialogue options sometimes never take the situation seriously.

Idk post your guys' thoughts.

I’ve seen a lot of hate in the Genshin community towards the Inazuma chapter (and Inazuma in general) due to how hard it is for players who don’t know how to build their characters and I for one think that’s extremely unfair. For one thing, the storyline behind the Vision Hunt Decree is probably some of Genshin Impact’s best writing yet. Throughout the story, we actually see how the Decree and the Fatui’s involvement impacts the citizens of Inazuma and the Traveler itself. In fact, this chapter is one of the few times we see any emotion from the Traveler aside from being cocky. The domains and fights are also a lot of fun if you know what you’re doing (granted, that’s mostly due to the fact that they rely heavily on elemental reactions, which are more or less my weapon of choice) and the dialog is not nearly as annoying to sit through as some of that of the Prologue and Chapter I. Not to mention that this chapter introduces many of the game’s best characters. Thoma and Ayaka are both very endearing and you genuinely feel like they’ve developed a strong bond with the Traveler throughout. Yae Miko and Kujou Sara are interesting in the sense that while they remain loyal to the Shogunate, they won’t hesitate to change sides if they feel their values or their loved ones are endangered. Speaking of the Shogunate, the Raiden Shogun is probably the game’s best villain to date (there, I said it.) Not only is she intimidating, but the game does a great job at making you feel just how powerful she is. It’s impossible to beat her in her first encounter, but that doesn’t simply mean you can just sit around wait her out until the cutscene. She is out for blood and surviving her can be a living nightmare if you don’t know what you’re doing. And let’s not forget that introduction scene, either. I genuinely don’t think there was ever a time where a video game made me feel as much awe as when the Raiden Shogun showed up for the first time. Another thing I find enjoyable about this portion of the game is that each chapter is relatively short. As much as I enjoy the Sumeru archon quests as much as the next player, I do feel like a lot of the dialogue in Sumeru (and subsequent Fontaine and Natlan) go on for just a little too long to the point where each quest takes hours to complete just for that reason. Sure, you can always skip the dialogue, but considering how essential it is to the lore, you’re not exactly getting the full experience by doing so. Fortunately, not only is the dialogue in Inazuma relatively straightforward and short, but the characters have a sense of wit and charm that make it kind of fun to listen to. The hot-pot sequence with Thoma and Ayaka is easily one of my favorite parts of the game. Chapter II may not be the greatest aspect of the game, and I don’t think it’s nearly as good as the Sumeru or Fontaine portion, but I feel like it gets a severely undue amount of hate over the fact that a lot of people struggled with it.
