Baizhu's quest is a very rememberable story, he was so mysterious, one of the best doctors, the one who cured Anne's sickness from Mondstadt, wants to seek immortality so he can save many people and that he would end the contract with him. He's such a good character. You're right Arnold, we need a Qiqi story quest, she deserves one.
I feel like you are the only genshin impact content creator who understands the game and cares for it. Especially on the Western genshin impact content creator side.
Easily one of the top story quests, especially, as you talked about, the dichotomy between what we as a playerbase THOUGHT Baizhu was like, a selfish man clinging to his own life, and what he truly was, a truly selfless man, dedicated to save both his patients and Chansheng, to make sure no one becomes another him, wasting themselves away to save and save. I think the best part of the quest though is how well they get us attached to Jialiang and his family. I remember playing this and, once he started hearing the memories and seeingh but not hearing his wife, I admit I was a bawling mess. Then the game does a flip and saves him, but unlike other fake outs, this didn't take me out or give the player too much whiplash. I remember screaming in happiness when I realised he was able to live. Someday I shall get Baizhu on my account... "This contract... will end with me."
And when you look at one of his idle lines "Life, Death, and a world around us all follow a set of laws... But if you never test the limits, how can anyone know where the boundries of these laws are?" such a peak character 💯
God Baizhu’s story really does hit different. Everyone was thinking this man was malicious with his intent, and really, he turns out to be one of the most selfless men out there, looking out for others with great intentions. What a story quest. I loved it.
''Changsheng can transfer pain between people, but cannot reduce the amount of pain'' Fu Xuan (and Dehya) receiving the whole team's damage, mitigating it, AND healing herself once she's weak enough: **giggles maniacally**
This quest really did a lot of the heavy lifting for Baizhu as a character. The dude went from a creepy/suspicious type to one of the kindest character we have along side Nahida
Can we send a request to Alice to make more of those communication devices that we used with Venti during Golden Apple? Baizhu and Gui definitely needs one that's for sure 😂
Ah yes, Baizhu's story quest is still so iconic for me lmao Suffering from what I dub, the Furina Effect (yes I know chronologically Baizhu suffered it first but Furina just hits so much harder for it) I'll never forget how I realized during that beautiful cutscene, how my world view for him shifted from "suspicious man who wants immortality selfishly" to "the most selfless, greedy man that wants to save everyone with immortality". His story quest is still part of my top three faves until now tbh Also I cannot WAIT for Wriothesley's SQ. That SQ pretty much slapped me with how much front-loaded dark themes Fontaine with and has long since been my top story quest.
Bubu Pharmacy's backroom song is one of my FAVORITE OSTs in Genshin. (it's called "Sanctuary for the Sick") It paints a perfect picture of the "tranquility through calamity" that Liyue embodies.
There's a reason this character is my only C6 5 star- I even went to the point of R5- just because I love him so much. I'm glad to see Arnold appreciate him for what he is!
Now I'm actually very fond of Baizhu and relate to him extremely so. I suffer from not only disabilities but I have a rare neurological disorder that can be crippling, but that's never stopped me enjoying life(just like Baizhu). Even more is his inspiration of the old Chinese White Snake legend. I grew fond him first time I saw him and not just cause I love snakes. Changsheng btw, best snake 🐍 🎉 I love her sass!! ❤
I like how hoyo started to show more other characters except for the one the story is based on unlike old quest where only the character the story is based on only I like how two opposite character of opposite belief in single quest lol
I completely forgot that they set off for Natlan! I'm really hoping we see more continuation quests for the NPCs (like Jeht, Zhiqiong, Kaveh's mom, Chouji, and Jiangli's famy). There's so much potential there!
I've waited so long to see you play through Baizhu's story quest. It makes me so happy for people to realize what an amazing character Baizhu is and how great his lore is.
The cutscene music is so damn fire. Man I love this quest, Baizhu, Changsheng, everything just so good I wouldn’t had been able to be twitch chat and wait that long for this, a SQ that I think easily is still in top 5 for me
We all expected Baizhu to be an Orochimaru expy but the Naruto character we got was Sasuke in Dainsleif xD I'm a little happy with Baizhu's characterization even though it's different from expectation. He's a good compliment to Hutao's philosophy and outlook on life. It also emphasize Dottore's cruelty as the other doctor of the game. Baizhu is such a great character.
i liked that before there's a quest about people vishap and then we all suspected the characters that has vertical pupil so baizhu and chongyun. Now we know how Baizhu got his eyes
I recently added this song to my playlist, and just now realized it was from Baizhu's SQ (Pulse of Spring from Shimmering Voyage vol.3) it's soooo good
Another great story quest. I was one of those folks that was sussing out Baizhu for a while now until this story quest. Really enjoyed this... one of the better ones.
One of the rarest times I'm impressed by the stories procured by Hoyoverse, Baizhu's character and lore really resonate with each other and makes me love him even more and more. I hope to see more Baizhu- related from Hoyoverse.
fr though, I zoned out throughout Hu Tao's quest but only started Baizhu's quest to see Hu Tao and her conflict with Baizhu because it was actually interesting
@8:28 good luck on getting C6 Qiqi. Glad to see another Qiqi fan. I got her C6 over a year ago, she has saved me in Spiral Abyss many times and have used her to revive teammates in Co-op too many times to count, especially on Weekly Bosses like Guardian of Eternity, Apep Warden, All-devouring Narwhal, and of course the Knave. Qiqi is one of my only Triple Crowned characters, I crowned her normal Attack about a year ago, Skill and Burst earlier this year. Have her running a R2 Aquila Favonia and Pale Flame set, She's a Physical DPS MONSTER but still heals plenty. I put her on my Dailies team for weeks along with Ganyu, Xianyun, and Gaming while exploring Chenyu Vale in version 4.4 I again hope you do get C6 Qiqi soon, and let us see how you build her and if you Crown any of her talents (BTW, my username was Qiqi3Crowns for about a month after I Triple Crowned her, I think it was 4.4 when I did crown her Skill and Burst).
Hmm I wonder if Arnold forgot the Hu Tao lore from her profile write up, I believe the reason why Hu Tao bothers Qiqi so much now is because she feels very sorry for what she did to her, trying to burry her so much in the past, and now she just wants to make sure Qiqi lives a peaceful and happy life as she is, that’s why she bothers her so much haha. Qiqi is still not impressed with that though 😂
I genuinely liked this story quest because it’s debatable…😅 Spoiler for the viewers: I still don’t think it was right to raise someone back from the dead but he would consider magic as a form of medicine if it is possible. Can’t say Hu Tao doesn’t use magic to communicate with the dead. It’s really interesting cuz both Hu Tao and Baizhu have their good reasons.
"This how should do it Dottore" You cant fix him "It's because of our greedy arse for primos back in 1.0 that this SQ happened" but what am I supposed to do when Zhongli's banner was at 1.1
1:33: Fair point but... would Rukka have healed Elezar OUTSIDE of Sumeru? Those petals looked kinda like it spread only over the Dendro nation 8:26: Long term Genshin players begs to differ
This may be irrelevant but IIRC the story was based off a Mihoyo worker who couldn't see things through to the end owing to her own physical health and subsequently passed away. Anyone else remembered that story? Think Jiangli was based off of that worker
Oh wow, I also only did Baizhu's SQ 2 months before Chenyu Vale release so that's something. Chatters really waited a long time huh - Idk where I saw it but pretty sure Hu Tao already "accepted" Qiqi and isn't trying to bury her anymore. It escapes me aaaaa - cool how you really do take pictures now - wait Natlan hot springs for a part-zombie???? 😭😩 - I srsly love this and it showed how Baizhu got Changsheng's eyes although then the story of the adepti with Fujin and Lingyang...the white snake with red eyes? The would've meant she already had red eyes so I guess she was already in a contract cuz she originally has gold eyes 🤔 when was the timeline for that aaa
I love when story or character slap you with the plot twist. In demon slayer there one character I don't like but it punch me with the sad backstory plot twist and I hated myself on hating the character 😂😂😂 but in the same time made me love more of the story! Baizhu you are the best (also being my second best healer slash burgeon team) and I hope you succeed your mission. ❤
My 50/50 breaker are Jean, Keqing, Diluc. Now Jean is C6, my first C6 chara. 😅I got only one Qiqi in 50/50. Give me all for Qiqi's, you can have my Jean's. 😅
Pains me so much every time you get a Keqing and hate it bc she's my main and I've only got her at C1 😭 I'm begging to lose a 50/50 to her at this point xd Never gotten a Qiqi though, so I wouldn't be able to trade lucks with you either way 😔✊
Awesome have been looking forward to this quest and your reaction. And i cant wait to see fontaine... I might have to member up 😁 p.s ive been playing since December 2020 and i havnt Drawn a single Qiqi or keqing and i actually Pray to lose 50/50 and sing the song in hopes to get her since standard banner only has jean and mona for me. 😅
One of the best story quests!! ✨ I had done both this ane Yoimiya's second story quest back to back, such amazing story quests Also does anyone know if the yoimiya story quest part 2 has already been uploaded? Ive been trying to find but unable to yet 🫠 Yoimiya's part 2 quest is one of my top favourites so kinda wanted to see that too 🥹
Baizhu's quest is a very rememberable story, he was so mysterious, one of the best doctors, the one who cured Anne's sickness from Mondstadt, wants to seek immortality so he can save many people and that he would end the contract with him. He's such a good character.
You're right Arnold, we need a Qiqi story quest, she deserves one.
To this day I think Baizhu has the greenest flag of all with Thoma in second place
Green hair and dendro vision should've tipped me off 😔✊
One of my favorite story quest. It's so heart felt and Baizhu's dedication to saving people is so admirable.
I feel like you are the only genshin impact content creator who understands the game and cares for it. Especially on the Western genshin impact content creator side.
I forget we have Xiao’s # on speed dial 😂 I wonder what he was doing before he teleported mans answered INSTANTLY ☺️

this right here is when genshin’s story quests began to fucking peak. they’ve been on gas ever since baizhu

ayy nice to see you upload it here despite your stream being way later kekw
this is my fav story quest in the game! still gets me
Another great story quest. I was one of those folks that was sussing out Baizhu for a while now until this story quest. Really enjoyed this... one of the better ones.
Baizhu, AKA Genshin's Dr. Frankenstein. 😅 (The seeker of science to go beyond the rules of nature)
Peak Story Quest! One of the story quests that hit me hard alongside Tighnari's and Neuvillette's Story Quests.
One of the rarest times I'm impressed by the stories procured by Hoyoverse, Baizhu's character and lore really resonate with each other and makes me love him even more and more. I hope to see more Baizhu- related from Hoyoverse.
Baizhu was the only character I had absolute zero interest on but his story quest forced me to get him 😌
Now i thinks that every Character quest contains a lot of characters 😂
One of the best story
You made me reignite my love for him as a character! I'm going to save enough fates to have him and his weapon on his next banner. I'm sure of it.
Baizhu is my team healer + dendro applicator. bro is kinda op tbh and i love him
i think hu tao was actually trying to kill that man and i hope qiqi gets a her own story quest, its been too long.
23:41 my girl Keqing coming through, punishing Arnold for meming on Qiqi
This quest lowkey do better for hi tao than her own quest
fr though, I zoned out throughout Hu Tao's quest but only started Baizhu's quest to see Hu Tao and her conflict with Baizhu because it was actually interesting
And Qiqi carry Xiao to Bubu Pharmacy 😅
@8:28 good luck on getting C6 Qiqi. Glad to see another Qiqi fan. I got her C6 over a year ago, she has saved me in Spiral Abyss many times and have used her to revive teammates in Co-op too many times to count, especially on Weekly Bosses like Guardian of Eternity, Apep Warden, All-devouring Narwhal, and of course the Knave.

... I'm just glad I'm not the only one who was super biased against Baizhu before this SQ
Hmm I wonder if Arnold forgot the Hu Tao lore from her profile write up, I believe the reason why Hu Tao bothers Qiqi so much now is because she feels very sorry for what she did to her, trying to burry her so much in the past, and now she just wants to make sure Qiqi lives a peaceful and happy life as she is, that’s why she bothers her so much haha. Qiqi is still not impressed with that though 😂
You know, it might actually be in Qiqi’s lore write up actually and not Hu Tao’s haha. Either way, it’s in one of theirs!
21:10 You mean... You know Hu?
1:32:25 Peruvian me: Well, there was this doctor called Daniel Alcides Carrión and was such a madlad. 😅
I genuinely liked this story quest because it’s debatable…😅
Spoiler for the viewers:
I still don’t think it was right to raise someone back from the dead but he would consider magic as a form of medicine if it is possible. Can’t say Hu Tao doesn’t use magic to communicate with the dead. It’s really interesting cuz both Hu Tao and Baizhu have their good reasons.
"This how should do it Dottore" You cant fix him
"It's because of our greedy arse for primos back in 1.0 that this SQ happened" but what am I supposed to do when Zhongli's banner was at 1.1
Nice been waiting for this one m8 Cheers Arnold
1:33: Fair point but... would Rukka have healed Elezar OUTSIDE of Sumeru? Those petals looked kinda like it spread only over the Dendro nation
8:26: Long term Genshin players begs to differ
Looking forward to Yoiymiya act 2 finally being released lol
1:36:59 i'm not completely sure, but i think the narrator sounds like ProZD.
This may be irrelevant but
IIRC the story was based off a Mihoyo worker who couldn't see things through to the end owing to her own physical health and subsequently passed away. Anyone else remembered that story? Think Jiangli was based off of that worker
1:49:10 WAIT WHAT?!
21:08 🤣 you know HU
Oh wow, I also only did Baizhu's SQ 2 months before Chenyu Vale release so that's something. Chatters really waited a long time huh
- Idk where I saw it but pretty sure Hu Tao already "accepted" Qiqi and isn't trying to bury her anymore. It escapes me aaaaa
- cool how you really do take pictures now
- wait Natlan hot springs for a part-zombie???? 😭😩
- I srsly love this and it showed how Baizhu got Changsheng's eyes although then the story of the adepti with Fujin and Lingyang...the white snake with red eyes? The would've meant she already had red eyes so I guess she was already in a contract cuz she originally has gold eyes 🤔 when was the timeline for that aaa
How about Baizhu go to khaenri'ah to learn the curse of immortality XD
I love when story or character slap you with the plot twist. In demon slayer there one character I don't like but it punch me with the sad backstory plot twist and I hated myself on hating the character 😂😂😂 but in the same time made me love more of the story!
Baizhu you are the best (also being my second best healer slash burgeon team) and I hope you succeed your mission. ❤
did baizhu and chengcheng switch eye colors?
Yes, a sign of their contract!
My 50/50 breaker are Jean, Keqing, Diluc. Now Jean is C6, my first C6 chara. 😅I got only one Qiqi in 50/50. Give me all for Qiqi's, you can have my Jean's. 😅
Pains me so much every time you get a Keqing and hate it bc she's my main and I've only got her at C1 😭 I'm begging to lose a 50/50 to her at this point xd
Never gotten a Qiqi though, so I wouldn't be able to trade lucks with you either way 😔✊
So what’s the order of this??? There’s Navia and Worisothley quest?? I thought we were still in Sumeru in the time line
Please watch the first minute and 30 seconds. I give full context to that question lol.
C6 Qiqi when though?
When indeed. Still waiting :(
Awesome have been looking forward to this quest and your reaction. And i cant wait to see fontaine... I might have to member up 😁 p.s ive been playing since December 2020 and i havnt Drawn a single Qiqi or keqing and i actually Pray to lose 50/50 and sing the song in hopes to get her since standard banner only has jean and mona for me. 😅
A
I absolutely hated this story's ending.
The whole story was fantastic until the end.
One of the best story quests!! ✨ I had done both this ane Yoimiya's second story quest back to back, such amazing story quests
Also does anyone know if the yoimiya story quest part 2 has already been uploaded?
Ive been trying to find but unable to yet 🫠
Yoimiya's part 2 quest is one of my top favourites so kinda wanted to see that too 🥹
It is up now
I cannot help but hear Pela every time Changsheng speaks(and visa versa for that matter), considering they both have the same VA.
