Looking back, the very reason Furina was so adamant at holding the Traveler to a trial as soon as they stepped foot in Fontaine was because she really hoped a trial involving the Traveler, knowing their reputation and "the chaos they left in their wake in other nations," would be that special trial Furina has always been waiting for. Foreshadowing at its finest.
I still can't believe how well they nailed the underwater exploration. I don't think I've ever played a game with better underwater moving mechanics unless the whole game was built around it.
They really foreshadowed Furina’s past right at the beginning “And what you see in reality might be someone deliberately putting in an act while harboring ulterior motives”.
40:07 "gods can be divided on the mediocre and the excellent", even tho it was a bluff, in the end she was actually a really excellent archon that even destroyed her divine throne and return the poeer of the hydro dragon back. Who would've guess? Lol
It hasn't been a year but this already makes me nostalgic of 4.0 I hope the writers cook up a storm for Natlan because I don't know when I'll ever fall in love with such brilliantly written characters again like Furina, Neuvillette, and Navia. (and everyone else too but they're my top 3 by far)
Furina was speed running the trials to save herself from the torment of 500 years. At that point she was one step away from judging even seals in the water and taking them to court for just swimming.
Your channel deserves more recognition. Actually when there's a time I couldn't catch the story I just open youtube and watch you. I'm a fan since you started your genshin time capsule
Omg omg omg it’s here! This is what I’ve been waiting for! I’m so excited to watch this haha! Furina is here! That first scene with her solidified her as my favourite character in the game, and she still is to this day
Watching you thru this journey made me start a new account. Between my day job and playing, I hope I'm caught up before Snezhnaya so I can be around the excitement of its release! I lost interest for some reason with my first account(which I've had since 2020) 1 year ago after I completed the full Fontaine arc. I never explored the region or did the world quests. Hell, I never even started the desert quests. This time around, I'm excited to play, and it's been a joy running through Mondstadt and Liyue for the first time again. Thank you for keeping me entertained and pumped for new Genshin content❤
Thank you Mr or Mrs Editor for your hardwork, and thank you for Mr Arnold as well Your videos are very entertaining and it is such a fresh air if we compare it with other UA-camr or streamer And i think Hoyo is also saying thanks by finally doing the sponsorship and giving you those unrealistic luck. Congrats, im happy for you _-
Fun fact: if you never done the tcg event and never met Charlotte there, you will get q different cut scene when you meet her for the first time on the Aquabus
Fun fact: When I was on the cliff and overlooking Fontaine, I decided to glide to the docks. My stamina ran out right before I would land on them. That feel when I drown going to the nation of hydro. I had no clue we had a waverider until a week later. Girlfailure moment if I have ever had one.
Wow! I didn't realize there were so many hints foreshadowing the twists and plot of Fontaine archon quest from just the first act. Like the identity of furina being an actor, the epic duel between the hydro archon and the traveler, and the origins of the people of Fontaine. This makes me want to pay extra attention when natlan first act drops 🧐
Man we after a year of Genshin Peak, We have finally arrived at the nation of Justice, I am so excited to reexperience all of Fontaine all over again with this time capsule. Thank you for all the content you've done throughout the years and heres to many more with Natlan and beyond.
Already saw the intro when you showed sneak peak on stream and the "just crazy for you.. GUARDS!" got me again 😂😂😂 Congrats and great job Arnold and Editors (I'd call yall by name if the editing team gets showcased someday) for getting to Fontaine so fast! Time to relive and enjoy 4.0 🎉
It’s been a long time since I played the game. I stopped before 4.0, and I tried it a bit after, but just couldn’t get back into Genshin again. But the story is something I’ll always be interested in, and these vids have finally caught up to what I’ve missed for over a year. I’ve deliberately avoided many spoilers, and while I have a vague understanding of what happened, I’m glad I can finally see the full impact of what happened in Fontaine.
Spoiler for those who haven't played Fontaine's Archon Quest: Furina's arc is basically disconnecting herself from Social Media cause it was unhealthy for her to live solely as her inauthentic internet-persona.
Archon Furina 😍 I loooove her OST here I'm amazed at how all of those NPCs foreshadowed Act V... And the very first title "Soloist's Prologue" in reference to Furina's banner title "Endless Solo of Solitude"? Absolutely amazing. I'll definitely keep a sharper eye out in Natlan!
Here at the 54:30 I realize both ideas are right. Technically the ancestors did steal power of the sea and it was because they kind of pressured the first hydro archon
@makaalbarn9144 but the front doesn't match like the other statues, and the hair in the back is longer than focalors. The person is also definitely taller than focalors (comparing against mondstadt and inazuma statues since Venti is closer to Focalors height), so it could only be egeria
Fontaine is here!!! So excited!! I just finished watching Fontaine Archon quest vod on Arnold's twitch again! It's soooo goood!! Can't wait to watch it again in YT with the Editors edits,.
Congrats on the sponsorship! you deserve it so much, I've been a casual watcher since your first episode here on youtube and I saw how you love and how dedicated you are to the game. I love your reaction and the details you notice on the lore as I tend to forget things easily so by watching you I can get the details I missed so thank you for that!
I meant the first archon we met when arriving in a new nation, where we KNEW it was the archon. We met Venti in the forest, but we didn't know he was the archon until much later compared to Furina.
Man, I first started watching your streams in this exact quest. So it feels so weird to finally seeing that it's on YT! Anyway, time to enjoy Godtaine once again through this!!
Bro how do I start this when the latest video is still Act 2 aaaaaaaa my heart 😂 (pls don't take this as if I'm rushing y'all 😭) I'm looking forward to the whole thing but I shall jump into the Fontaine AQ now wooooo - the zoom in when saying as if we'd immediately meet the Archon of the nation 😂 - the music is so good. One of the ones I also hum randomly
I’m surprised Arnold didn’t immediately realize that that guy that was bowing to Furina when we first meet her was the same guy that was acting suspicious in Caravan Ribat, making it very apparent that she knew we were coming, because he hurried back and informed Furina of our arrival
Looking at Furina's introduction from her POV is both really funny and really sad. She hears of this Traveller who, according to reports, has had devastation follow them in every nation, then 30 seconds after meeting, this person pulls out their sword and tells a "God" to square up. But also, this is still Furina, the human with no innate powers, having someone immediately ready to attack her with no hesitation AND she probably has a feeling that bringing them into the court house could finally lead to her awaited trial, so of course she scrambles for any random dumb lore she can chuck at us to try and rope us in and free her from her cycle.
Moments for me 14:36: Dehya seeing us off ngl made me sad for leaving the desert 15:03: Can you imagine that a lot of people walked there, PHYSICALLY? 30:14: Man tqs for the lore drop, I haven't been exploring much 35:05: You have your redeeming moments, but man she balances being annoying and useful well 38:31: I wish... those eyes better hold secrets XD 39:42: No really.... HOW DID SHE KNOW? 49:44: I know it was all an act but man, she really was a brat 1:16:35: you were genuinely worried that it's kinda immersive 1:17:52: Was her voice always that squeaky? 1:21:40: Ah yes, THAT SOUNDTRACK T_T 1:22:07: Got em XD see you at the end of Fontaine Archon Quest XD 1:23:35: Was this how daddy was perceived that way? My bias is showing XD 1:24:04: Episode ends before we see our main man Mr Worldwide? 1:25:35: Despite being powercrept in terms of size, Mondstadt defo should be bigger 1:26:25: You call em pineapples? I never found that XD Tqs, I'm late 1:26:40: Still got PTSD as someone with SLOW internet ( ᗜ‸ᗜ ) If you know you know 1:26:56: You're throat's dry? In the Hydro Nation XD
Awwww Yisssss. Tbh in hindsight, Fontaine moving fowards is Genshin’s overall Act 2. With Act 1 being the first 4 nations and Act 2 the remaining 3 nations and celestia.
Man, we're in Fontaine already? Guess it's time to re-watch peak and absolute cinema again.
Looking back, the very reason Furina was so adamant at holding the Traveler to a trial as soon as they stepped foot in Fontaine was because she really hoped a trial involving the Traveler, knowing their reputation and "the chaos they left in their wake in other nations," would be that special trial Furina has always been waiting for. Foreshadowing at its finest.
Yes, I also noticed that
I just noticed that those two random npc’s at 23:50 gave us a very tiny hint about the twist with the hydro archon
Eyyo they be spitting fact 🤐
Like Archon like citizens 😂
Aether squaring up against the Hydro Archon immediately upped my respect for him even as I remember he lost to Arle
I only got one thing say: Lights, kamara, ACTION!!! 🎉🎥📸
We made it to Fontaine before the release of natlan 🎉 shout out to Arnold and the editors for putting in the work
I still can't believe how well they nailed the underwater exploration. I don't think I've ever played a game with better underwater moving mechanics unless the whole game was built around it.
They really foreshadowed Furina’s past right at the beginning “And what you see in reality might be someone deliberately putting in an act while harboring ulterior motives”.
56:46 This is where it all began, the legendary item that would haunt Arnold for the rest of Fontaine's patch
Those GODDAMN Magic Pockets bro LMAO
The fact we reached Sumeru JUST 5 months ago says a lot about the amount of work Arnold and co put in this series.
40:07 "gods can be divided on the mediocre and the excellent", even tho it was a bluff, in the end she was actually a really excellent archon that even destroyed her divine throne and return the poeer of the hydro dragon back. Who would've guess? Lol
It hasn't been a year but this already makes me nostalgic of 4.0
I hope the writers cook up a storm for Natlan because I don't know when I'll ever fall in love with such brilliantly written characters again like Furina, Neuvillette, and Navia. (and everyone else too but they're my top 3 by far)
There's many peak for the Fontaine story. Archon quests, Story Quests and even the World Quest. Can't wait for the Narssizenkrauz quest chain.
the editing is so fucking peak, dare i say xavier would be so proud. absolute mfing cinema
I love how genuine you are. You deserve 50x times the subscribers you already have.
I really appreciate that! I'm glad to have subscribers like you! :)
@@MurderofBirdsImpact 🫶🏻
01:21:39
Ah.. "Fontaine"... That piece are always successful on making me humming along and shed a tears or two...
And after the 4.8 patch, I want to look at the region from a distance at night and say "au revoir and bon nuit, Fontaine".
25:33
Oh dont worry past Arnold, we thought the same thing as well until it becomes a meme 🙂
Furina was speed running the trials to save herself from the torment of 500 years. At that point she was one step away from judging even seals in the water and taking them to court for just swimming.
when we thought sumeru writing was peak fontaine was there to put our foolish ambition to rest
They still have a BIG room for improvement...
I still prefer sumeru, specially act 2, the Samsara quest
watching this while waiting for natlan 5.0 update, the feel of exploring a new region for the very first time is such an amazing experience!!
It is time!
The Nation of hydro, tears and depression
37:20 Venti: Are you kidding me?
Players: Hehe.
This is when I started watching Arnold's stream can't believe its already being uploaded to YT
Your channel deserves more recognition. Actually when there's a time I couldn't catch the story I just open youtube and watch you. I'm a fan since you started your genshin time capsule
Peak intro for peak cinema!
This will be fun to watch in the last version of Fontaine
The whole Fontaine quest is truly a masterpiece, especially when you rewatched it and observe Furina's every motive.
31:09 "Maybe they're mermaids? Or a fantastical race from fontaine?"
Oh Aether and us... we have no idea.
FONTAINE ALREADY!? Let's gooooooo!!! Can't wait for the whole playthrough!
41:06
Bruh, i just realised that "guy" is the same guy from the Caravan Ribat who's side eying us when we talked to Dehya
Bro was one of Furina's recon spies in another nation scoping us out
Omg omg omg it’s here! This is what I’ve been waiting for! I’m so excited to watch this haha! Furina is here! That first scene with her solidified her as my favourite character in the game, and she still is to this day
The way those magic pockets came full cercle 😭😭
Rena secretly revealing whole plot of fonatine 😂🤣
The Greatest Archon Quest begins now! I love Fontaine so much.
I also gotta acknowledge the production value of the recent videos have been so great that my enjoyment for them grew tenfold
Finally, I've been waiting for this!
Watching you thru this journey made me start a new account. Between my day job and playing, I hope I'm caught up before Snezhnaya so I can be around the excitement of its release!
I lost interest for some reason with my first account(which I've had since 2020) 1 year ago after I completed the full Fontaine arc. I never explored the region or did the world quests. Hell, I never even started the desert quests. This time around, I'm excited to play, and it's been a joy running through Mondstadt and Liyue for the first time again. Thank you for keeping me entertained and pumped for new Genshin content❤
LET'S GO FONTAINE IS HEEREEE!!!! I've managed to watch the 4.2 and 4.3 livestreams but not the beginning, so I'm so so happy this is finally here!!!
the feeling when seeing fontaine for the first time is such a core memory ✨
Thank you Mr or Mrs Editor for your hardwork, and thank you for Mr Arnold as well
Your videos are very entertaining and it is such a fresh air if we compare it with other UA-camr or streamer
And i think Hoyo is also saying thanks by finally doing the sponsorship and giving you those unrealistic luck. Congrats, im happy for you
_-
Fun fact: if you never done the tcg event and never met Charlotte there, you will get q different cut scene when you meet her for the first time on the Aquabus
ABSOLUTE CINEMA, THE STAGE OF PEAK
If there was a way to experience fontaine for the first time again, I would do it
Fun fact: When I was on the cliff and overlooking Fontaine, I decided to glide to the docks.
My stamina ran out right before I would land on them.
That feel when I drown going to the nation of hydro.
I had no clue we had a waverider until a week later.
Girlfailure moment if I have ever had one.
Wow! I didn't realize there were so many hints foreshadowing the twists and plot of Fontaine archon quest from just the first act. Like the identity of furina being an actor, the epic duel between the hydro archon and the traveler, and the origins of the people of Fontaine.

Shoutout to Arnold and the editors WE HAVE ARRIVED!
BROOOO the FORESHADOWING at 31:10
Yes YEEEESSSSS!!! We made it! We're finally heere 🎉🔥
36:30 Yea Clorinde has that effect on people
Man we after a year of Genshin Peak, We have finally arrived at the nation of Justice, I am so excited to reexperience all of Fontaine all over again with this time capsule. Thank you for all the content you've done throughout the years and heres to many more with Natlan and beyond.
Now, where did I put those tissues?
Already saw the intro when you showed sneak peak on stream and the "just crazy for you.. GUARDS!" got me again 😂😂😂
Congrats and great job Arnold and Editors (I'd call yall by name if the editing team gets showcased someday) for getting to Fontaine so fast!
Time to relive and enjoy 4.0 🎉
God, Fontaine is so good, I can’t wait to see your playthrough and reactions to peak
I can't contain my patience so i bought the membership 😂. Happy to be hereeee 😂❤
when I first arrived there, I had no idea there was an elevator, and I climbed the tower to unlock the statue of seven
We're at fountaine! Can't believe we're almslt caught up i feel like yesterday i watched you play through the sumeru aq
Congrats Arnold and to the GIGA Editors for reaching Fontaine before it's over it's time for the Furina Arch to begin :) Cheers m8
It’s been a long time since I played the game. I stopped before 4.0, and I tried it a bit after, but just couldn’t get back into Genshin again.
But the story is something I’ll always be interested in, and these vids have finally caught up to what I’ve missed for over a year. I’ve deliberately avoided many spoilers, and while I have a vague understanding of what happened, I’m glad I can finally see the full impact of what happened in Fontaine.
after touching grass and sands it is finally time to touch and sip fontaine's water
"Is that a mangekyou sharingan?"
-Arnold 2023
Fontaine is finally here! I appreciate you Arnold and the editor's hard work for editing these
your excitement is so genuinely refreshing, kee it up! so excited for the natlan aeries to come out!
Spoiler for those who haven't played Fontaine's Archon Quest:
Furina's arc is basically disconnecting herself from Social Media cause it was unhealthy for her to live solely as her inauthentic internet-persona.
REAL
40:52 ghostwriter strikes again
WE'RE CATCHING UPP
1:03:28 little did he know....
Archon Furina 😍 I loooove her OST here
I'm amazed at how all of those NPCs foreshadowed Act V... And the very first title "Soloist's Prologue" in reference to Furina's banner title "Endless Solo of Solitude"? Absolutely amazing. I'll definitely keep a sharper eye out in Natlan!
Time for Fontaine! Yes please 🎉
Here at the 54:30 I realize both ideas are right. Technically the ancestors did steal power of the sea and it was because they kind of pressured the first hydro archon
I really like the editing of the video. Good job Arnold and editors! ❤
58:05 it was so great to finally get confirmation that the statues aren't actually updated to match the current archon
i mean it's literally focalors/furina with her long hair
@makaalbarn9144 but the front doesn't match like the other statues, and the hair in the back is longer than focalors. The person is also definitely taller than focalors (comparing against mondstadt and inazuma statues since Venti is closer to Focalors height), so it could only be egeria
Fontaine is here!!! So excited!! I just finished watching Fontaine Archon quest vod on Arnold's twitch again! It's soooo goood!! Can't wait to watch it again in YT with the Editors edits,.
FONTAINE TIME YEEAAAAHHH. good work Arnold and editors :D
Congrats on the sponsorship! you deserve it so much, I've been a casual watcher since your first episode here on youtube and I saw how you love and how dedicated you are to the game. I love your reaction and the details you notice on the lore as I tend to forget things easily so by watching you I can get the details I missed so thank you for that!
I think technically we saw venti sooner than this, but ya know, first region exceptions and all that
I meant the first archon we met when arriving in a new nation, where we KNEW it was the archon. We met Venti in the forest, but we didn't know he was the archon until much later compared to Furina.
LETS GOOOOOO!!!! PEAK ARC IS HERE!!!
The law of can't fly a flying object, furina definitely made that law for us. To bring us to court
This is so exciting!!! You and the editors worked so much and it's finally here :)
it's insane how this time capsule is slowly catching up and to think that it's just on time for the release of natlan sheeesh we out here boys!!
Opening sequence is fire🔥🔥🔥 shout out to the editor!!
Man, I first started watching your streams in this exact quest. So it feels so weird to finally seeing that it's on YT! Anyway, time to enjoy Godtaine once again through this!!
Omg, we actually caught up to Fontaine now on the time capsule, let's gooo!
I'm gonna cry again oh god
we are finally here 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Yoooo atsu recommend Murderofbird and got a sponsor congratulations
Bro how do I start this when the latest video is still Act 2 aaaaaaaa my heart 😂 (pls don't take this as if I'm rushing y'all 😭) I'm looking forward to the whole thing but I shall jump into the Fontaine AQ now wooooo
- the zoom in when saying as if we'd immediately meet the Archon of the nation 😂
- the music is so good. One of the ones I also hum randomly
I’m surprised Arnold didn’t immediately realize that that guy that was bowing to Furina when we first meet her was the same guy that was acting suspicious in Caravan Ribat, making it very apparent that she knew we were coming, because he hurried back and informed Furina of our arrival
We're finally hereee
Thanks a lot Arnold for letting us to watch ur stream once again ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Leaving this comment here so someone reminds me to watch the rest of Arnold's playthrough since I'm only on the pre-sumeru videos
Finally, my most awaited episode for MOB ❤ #FontaineLore
Fontaine feels like yesterday, i cant believe Natlan is so close
love the editing
Looking at Furina's introduction from her POV is both really funny and really sad. She hears of this Traveller who, according to reports, has had devastation follow them in every nation, then 30 seconds after meeting, this person pulls out their sword and tells a "God" to square up.

Now from this all is new to me
Thank you for Greatest Entertainment and Lore's
Yes!! i was waiting for your reaction for Fontaine. ❤
Moments for me
14:36: Dehya seeing us off ngl made me sad for leaving the desert
15:03: Can you imagine that a lot of people walked there, PHYSICALLY?
30:14: Man tqs for the lore drop, I haven't been exploring much
35:05: You have your redeeming moments, but man she balances being annoying and useful well
38:31: I wish... those eyes better hold secrets XD
39:42: No really.... HOW DID SHE KNOW?
49:44: I know it was all an act but man, she really was a brat
1:16:35: you were genuinely worried that it's kinda immersive
1:17:52: Was her voice always that squeaky?
1:21:40: Ah yes, THAT SOUNDTRACK T_T
1:22:07: Got em XD see you at the end of Fontaine Archon Quest XD
1:23:35: Was this how daddy was perceived that way? My bias is showing XD
1:24:04: Episode ends before we see our main man Mr Worldwide?
1:25:35: Despite being powercrept in terms of size, Mondstadt defo should be bigger
1:26:25: You call em pineapples? I never found that XD Tqs, I'm late
1:26:40: Still got PTSD as someone with SLOW internet ( ᗜ‸ᗜ ) If you know you know
1:26:56: You're throat's dry? In the Hydro Nation XD
49:52
Funny. Now that Hydro Archon has given the Authority back to Hydro Dragon, he’ll be the one judging all other gods.
Furina truly is the Archon of Twitch Streamers.
Let’s goooo it’s time for Fontaine!!!
It’s time for peak cinema hell yeah!
Awwww Yisssss. Tbh in hindsight, Fontaine moving fowards is Genshin’s overall Act 2. With Act 1 being the first 4 nations and Act 2 the remaining 3 nations and celestia.
