4:58:24 the worst part about Chuychu's death other than she was the FINAL PIECE needed to save natlan (her name referenced to Inca Mythology as the Rainbow Destined to Burn, title of the AQ Act) is when Chasca was receiving her ancient name, she wasn't paying attention. She knows how important the ancient name is, even while the wayob was delivering his legacy and memories to her, all she was thinking of was her sister, getting her somewhere safe amidst the war. She didn't even glance once at her ancient name or the wayob.
Exactly bro they did her sooo dirty. She needs to lost her sister to awaken her name that's nasty and after seeing the xilonen side quest it seems that there are natlanese who hate their ancient name, so It would make sense if she hate her ancient name after the stuff happened
@@Sora-kaslana No she didn't know the specifics. Mavuika knew who the hero was meant to be, not what was needed for them to awaken or it would have been a piece of cake to simply engineer the situations that triggered the awakening. For Chasca it was just enduring pain and suffering so it could've been anything in that ball park that triggered it. Mavuika likely didn't know it would take a loss that big for Chasca to get her name or she wouldn't have felt so guilty at the end of the AQ.
tbh I think chasca can awaken her ancient name even without chuychu's d3ath. Like if we base on her ancient name monologue, It's more on trancending thru whatever obstacle chasca encounters, like her pain and suffering and stuffs, I mean it's already given on the meaning of the name itself -- trancedence . It could be her just successfully contain her anger and agitation due to her abyssal corruption too, since that's what's the root cause of her problems ( I think... there definitely more but let's wait for her story quest when she release). But unfortunately, it's chuycu demise :'
Chuychus death wasn't even part of the wayob or chasca getting her ancient name or whatever. It was just that Chasca is Anemo and what happens to all Anemo characters? She was doomed ever since she got the Anemo Vision
4:48:30 This quest taught me to truly fear the Abyss. Kachina mentions, that tribe that got hit the hardest was Flower-Feather Clan. That was the tribe that didn't have a hero awaken at that point in time. At the same time, it attacked all other tribes, even Collective of Plenty, to tie them up so they can't reinforce Flower-Feather Clan. Abyss is intelligent, trying to wipe out the single win condition Mavuika had at all cost. After all, if there is no Flower-Feather Clan members left alive, Mavuika plan is ruined.
2:53:06 while it does sound nice of the cryo archon to let the harbingers do this, it also means she lets dottore do those experiments on children. So shes not off the hook to me
Unless…she doesn’t know but lets them do it whatever ut is , Sh3ks meant to represent love afterall , but that could’ve changed because Electro went from transience to eternity
This. She may not specifically give them orders, but due to her authority she is basically enabling them to do whatever they want, however horrible it may be. And by doing so she's basically saying she's okay with it. She's giving her Harbingers godlike authority, and some of them severely abuse it. Pretty ironic if her goal is to rebel against the heavens.
@@CedrcEit was given from the beginning that Tsaritsa wouldn’t be a kindhearted archon. “she has no love left for her people”, what else do you expect, for her to be a nahida type of archon, or like Mavuika? she has her own goals, and she doesn’t need to be all kind and humble with others about it.
Honestly act 4 one of the quest I hope everyone got to react completely blind. The shock value, the death toll, the voice of characters, the consequences of our choice because we didn't know better,....
And then some ppl will be like "Why am I supposed to be feel sad for a bunch of npcs? Hoyo doesn't have the balls to kill their characters like in honkai" while completely forgetting that a world needs the gifted and blessed ones (vision bearers) as well as the common folk deemed as ordinary by gods and fate alike in order to maintain a society
For the most part I was actually thoroughly surprised, I didn’t really get spoiled for much. Except for Chuychu. THE DAY THE UPDATE DROPPED; no thanks to streetwise rhapsody in particular.
One scary thought, since a majority of the people in Natlan train their whole lives to fight, imagine how some of the other nations might have faired. Like yeah each nation does have an organized army of some sort but the civilian casualties would have been HUGE
Mondstat is cook, the people are so laid back and the elite knight are still not coming back. Ordinary knights can't even handle slime properly, poor Batman doing double time for Mondstat 😫
The death toll would've been even more severe and I suspect that even vision bearers would be included. Monstadt is too dependent on their remaining vision bearers that the rest are complacent. Liyue would be more defensible thanks to the adepti and millileth but the villages outside the city would probably be destroyed. Inazuma might also be protected as well as liyue would thanks to Raiden and kokomi's forces if they joined together alongwith the yokai. Sumeru would be screwed cause they only have mercenaries and forest watchers. Hat guy would have to be integral to their survival but casualties would be high. Fontaine has a decent chance of survival as long as the Abyss doesn't show any signs of being able to corrupt the Gardemeks.

Dish is the only streaming I've seen so far that recognizes the poor Cryo fatiu's sacrifice for the mother and child. Most other playthrough unfortunately choose the other options where there are no savior. 😢. Thank you for finding him.
They didn't understand that Natlan is called the nation of war because they had to fight the worse war cause of weak leylines. It's not called nation of war because of ravaged lands but it's about how they are fighting the war
The angels are now called Seelies, it's just another name for their species. The Primordial One, aka Phanes, created the angels/seelies. Prior to their arrival, only dragons and other elemental lifeforms existed in Teyvat. The Seelies were guides to humans, so they helped humanity in every shape and form. The Lord of the Night was one such heavenly envoy for the people of Natlan.
I cried like a baby because I only managed to save the baby saurian in the saurian camp heh and then I saw Toto and cried even more but he was alive TT__TT
@@kyori75Yup I also choose this one and manage to save 3 npc people of spring. But damn, at the cost of the mother n daughter lives at the north side 😢. I tought the fatui could handle it but it's too much 😭
@@asyrafshukwait, i chose the 3 npcs + baby saurian's location too. u mean to tell me the mother and daughter died at the expense of that?? because i never met them in the quest. WHAT THE HELL
3 natlanian (Cuxtal and etc) sages are named similarly to Boborano, Capet and the third wooden toy man. They are either them or the wooden men were based off them because Simulanka is shaped based off Teyvat and mirrors it.
Something about we helping them figuring out their heritage about the dragon with kirara means there's a possibility that we gonna do the similar with kinich about the abyss or gnosis
Did you know the Archon Quest named after Chuychu's fate to die in order to save Natlan and awaken her sister's name? The AQ name is "The Rainbow Destined to Burn" And Chuychu/Kuychi means rainbow in Quechua language that's why even the English pronounce her name without English ways of pronouncing it
As I did this quest, all I could think about was Dvalin almost being corrupted by the abyss and then later Boreas. I don't want to imagine how devastating this war could have been if the abyss' plans had even succeeded in other nations.
don't get it mixed up, the abyss in natlan is the nature of the abyss itself, just like sumeru's forbidden knowledge, meanwhile the other ones is the abyss order group, they are khaenriahns who embracing the abyss led by our other sibling, their target is to destroy celestia and reviving khaenriah as a nation of humanity once more
2:48:03 when I played the quest I had to pause and listen Capitano say "catacylsm" a few times before i could go on in peace with the quest lmao it was so funny
As someone who has lost a sibling, this game has made me start sobbing so many times, but Chuychu’s death really did me in. I had to go lie down in bed for a while before I could finish the quest not gonna lie 😭
@2:51:47 yeah, you should watch Arnold's reaction for the latest AQ (VOD) since he mostly nailed some lore things (while waiting for Ashikai☆) @3:34:45 oof, tbh this was... unfortunate. @4:10:06 , @4:20:50I wasn't able to encounter this so I'm sad but also thanks because i got to see another pov @4:56:55 - same ms dish. Thank you for this! Finally done watching it, definitely rollercoaster of feels (and lore) :D
@@tgRue Another cc who plays genshin. I really like watching him because he is more of a lore heavy cc. His channel and twitch channel (if you want to watch) : murderofbirds impact and murderofbirds
3:34:14 i don't see that as a complete spoiler tho, the game literally warns you abt this further in the story quest. plus there's a considerable amount of streamers that misses out on this info and just do any move without knowing there ARE consequences.
Me on Natlan release: This is all just song and dance come on, where's the war, this nation is treating war like a sport Me in 5.1 Act 4: Oh...oh it's Grim, it's dark. It's exactly what i was thinking of, oh god so many people are fuckin dead-
Watching this playthrough and seeing the stuff I missed like opening the map to hear the character voicelines makes me desperately want to replay the archon quest. Really hope they'll add that feature eventually.
Sending my love and hugs to you dish ❤ this Archon quest has been an emotional ride. Dark and real. Just desperation and urgency during the entire thing and it still made us feel that we haven’t done enough to save everyone because the reality is we simply could not. Hoyo perfectly captured the realities of war and its ugly side we all know. Nobody wins in a war, only tragedy. And we have seen it here. The voice actors have done an incredible job, Corina deserves her flowers this time as she pretty much carried the whole thing. Incredible depth of emotion from her in voicing Paimon.
omg I just love Dish's streams and videos. I watch many people play this archon quest, but Dish's stream chat has left an impression on me that I have tried to look for in other streamers' chat, I failed though, it was how everyone typed "FOR NATLAN" rapidly during that cutscene and the fight at the stadium gate.
- 4:20:00 If you come here 1st and not to the fat potion lady with fatui, then there will be 2 more npcs with a geo saurian alive..... because if you don't send the fat lady to the stadium, she will die. But if you didn't chose her location 1st, then she won't appear as corpse (in fact won't appear at all) at the people of the spring location after this geo tribe encounter.
The captain was right, if the traveler wasn’t here, Chasca would’ve lost herself, and the Disney ass plan of wanting to save everything would have failed. Hell, they might not have even gotten ororon to awaken, they might’ve only gotten 4 hero’s total.
i agree but also kinda disagree LOL @@abcd-mo5mo let's not forget that it was the traveler's purification ability that gave chuychu enough time to say her last words to chasca. even chasca reinforces their part in all that. because chuychu had the chance to say a proper farewell to her sister, chasca had the adequate mental strength to hold herself back 👍🏻
There’s a crater between Tepeacac Rise and Ancestral Temple near the fatui base where they experiment on Saurian’s and inside the crater is a fragmented piece of the moon that was behind the fake sky.
Here is my theory about Capitano: He is an Alberich, specifically Kaeya’s father eventually. As he said he was “close to the princess/prince” yet didn’t met Dainsleif during Khaenri’ah has to mean he got a high position, but not the same as Dainsleif. Since Dainsleif was a Royal Guard, Capitano has to be at a lower position. The Schwanenritter. As he was called “Commander” by the man that took over Ororon, he has to be a leader in some kind of way. When we look up Schwanenritter, we read about “Anfortas”, the person who took lead after the King “went crazy” (or how it was said). Anfortas is an Alberich. It’s confirmed that Capitano has blue eyes. the Alberichs got either dark blue or black hair and always blue eyes. It is said that Anfortas led an effort to bring Khaenri’ahn survivors aboveground to Sumeru. He is one (if not the only) Schwanenritter we don’t know what happened to him in the end who might still be alive. Only one thing that’s off is that Anfortas only had one eye (right) left after he got betrayed by another Schwanenritter and in Mika’s story it’s said to be “two blue eyes […]”. Also the flesh rotting part about Capitano: Hoyo surely won’t make gore so we can assume he will look like Dainsleif’s blueish flesh, just much “worse”. + Why can Dain and Pierro slow their “rotting” while he can’t and Pierro can’t or won’t help him with that?
I somewhat doubt that the captain is kaeya's father. Heck we saw how enamored he became to the Abyss for temporarily curing his son before he offs himself. The captain is a khanraien lower than dainsleif but a commander of their army.
@@rakmodslyr7459 yeah, that’s just like a little extra yk? But also, if you listen to Kaeya’s father’s voice and Capitano’s voice is sounds similar. A bit different what also could cause the mask (if he may or may not be his father). But I do not doubt that he may be Anfortas.
@@Keywithoutdoor plot wise that seems unlikely since if you remember kaeya's father founded the Abyss order. Why would he fight against a power for which he created an organisation for? Also having the same va doesn't always mean it's the same character.
@@rakmodslyr7459 Clothar founded the Abyss Order but I can’t recall him being confirmed as Kaeya’s father… Is it Said somewhere? And I didn’t say it’s the same VA, I just said; cause they sound similar it could be the same person.
I have this intense feeling that Capitano would like to be the one dying instead of Mavuika. Since he did not, or in anyway can't slow down his body deterioration, I think he just wants to end himself to end his suffering. Since he can't find any way to 'end' himself since it is a curse like Dain have which is to live for thousands of years, or might be perpetually; Capitano will take the 1:1 fate laid upon Mavuika, for using the Ruler of Death demands death in return, and finally if that's the case, that's the death that Capitano would want. Maybe he will join the traveler and Mavuika on the last battle, then just clutches and say "No, this is my death". But funny enough, Dain might have some screentime before that happens and he might know what Capitano wants. Just some thoughts about that small screentime of Capitano in the end. (Please, not all what I've said are facts, just some thoughts of mine.) Edit: And to add, since Capitano is sent by the Ruler of Death himself, then that ruler of death might listen to his demands, if he really wants to take that death. (still a better death than to fully catch a musou no hitotachi if my thoughts were true)
3:04:18 is Xilonen's comment about the weapons a jab to the devs? so in order to not compromise on quality they need a break,and xilonen will takeover, just like Da Wei huh..
I knew someone once who had no perception of what a spoiler was. I was saying that I was going to play through Hogwarts Legacy and they perked up. I stopped them immediately and said "No Spoilers. Like seriously, I want to go in completely blind so don't say anything." and they say (SPOILER WARNING) "...well, I'll just say this. Think carefully when you're choosing your wand." I just look at him and say "THIS IS WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT. I DIDN'T KNOW ID GET TO PICK A WAND. I WOULD HAVE LOVED TO FIND THAT OUT IN GAME."
I’m so glad there’s other people who love the archon quest like I did, it was so great, and an amazing ending for Natlan, but people seem to hate it and I genuinely don’t know why..?
Oh please, Honkai Impact 3rd only killed Himeko, the other dead characters died before the events of the game and even Star Rail doesn't have the guts, Gallagher and Misha weren't real people and Tingyun is back as Fugue, all three games have the same problem of not truly killing characters.
Tbf, I'd be a tad bit immersion breaking if you played as a dead character. It's the issue of gacha games. Devs want to have an option to use these characters in the future.
So to be brutally honest here, if you think that a story needs to kill off characters to be good, you have no idea what you're talking about and your opinions lack merit because they're half-baked at best.
@@vetreas366I didn't say that and i don't think that, dish however said many times on stream that Genshin should kill off playable characters, near the end of this vod she said it wouldn't happen because this isn't a honkai game but Hoyo never truly did that.
@@vetreas366 They never said that, but let me say this, if you're going to make a story with high stakes it takes away from the intensity when we know none of the characters are going to die from the beginning. Like Mavuika is literally supposed to die and everybody already knows it's not going to happen, so where are the stakes? There is nothing wrong with killing off a character and still having them be playable. And OBVIOUSLY a death should be meaningful, we're not just calling for characters to die for the sake of it.
2:39:25 This part is so confusing because like, aren’t the dragons supposed to be Teyvat’s native inhabitants? And aren’t the heavenly principles/Celestia supposed to be outsides who came to Teyvat after the dragons had already existed for a long time? So how come this says that the Heyvenly Principles created elemental energy if dragons were already using it?
The heavenly principles refined phlogiston into the elements. Think of phlogiston like oil, that's converted into plastic and polyester, depending on what you need. But oil itself isn't a textile material and can't be used as a trash bag.
@@lulufortytwo3884 Well, yes thank you but i already know but that, this isn’t wasn’t what my comment was about, what im confused about is how could the Heavenly Principles be the ones that refined Phlogiston (Teyvat’s primordial source of energy) into the seven elements when the elemental dragons already inhibited Teyvat before the Heavenly Principles invaded Teyvat.
@@ATMEIDAREYAIDOUBLEDAREYA I had a 50/50 chance and I answered the wrong thing. oop There was a thing in Simulanka with Kirara's story quest that said Simulanka had 3 origin stories and they were all right because the author couldn't make up their mind. I'm guessing that's a reference to this conflicting information and that's why we are confused. The only source we had for so long is from the Enkanomiya book, but it doesn't mean it had the full picture. I literally was chatting with a friend earlier today that it's making me think the Primordial One might be a dragon. Mostly a crack theory, but it's fun to think about.
Lore!! and death, the scene chasca holding chychu in her arms walking remains me to kaneki and her best friend, men really all the anemo characther have to lose someone
Dish made all the same choices as me! I think I had only a few less deaths overall but I'm still mad about potion lady. I hate that I sent her to her death. It felt to me that the supplies getting to the People of the Springs was important but I guess not all endeavors can be successful :( Did anyone else make all the same choices but tell the potion lady to not go? I'm curious how that affects things.
So long as the ship isn't criminal.... or just way out there... i couldn't care less about who ships who together... ((like I don't ship Childe and Zhongli... but i'm not going to insult you for it... Nor do I ship Alhaitham and Kaveh.. they don't give me 'relationship' vibes)) This was an amazing, if long and unending-feeling Archon Quest.
I’ve never cried so hard from Genshin AND MY REACTION WAS JUST AS INTENSE WATCHING YOU PLAY IT ON STREAM 💀 I also think I sent idk three versions of the same message during the stream regarding my sister cause I kept thinking I deleted it cause my eyes were full of hydro 😂

Hoyo took that comment about Natlan not looking like a nation of war seriously
They didn't understand that Natlan is called the nation of war because they had to fight the worse war cause of weak leylines. It's not called nation of war because of ravaged lands but it's about how they are fighting the war
The angels are now called Seelies, it's just another name for their species. The Primordial One, aka Phanes, created the angels/seelies. Prior to their arrival, only dragons and other elemental lifeforms existed in Teyvat. The Seelies were guides to humans, so they helped humanity in every shape and form. The Lord of the Night was one such heavenly envoy for the people of Natlan.
I cried like a baby because I only managed to save the baby saurian in the saurian camp heh and then I saw Toto and cried even more but he was alive TT__TT
The baby saurian won't die even if you chose the other location. It's the 3 people of the springs npcs that will die.
@@kyori75Yup I also choose this one and manage to save 3 npc people of spring. But damn, at the cost of the mother n daughter lives at the north side 😢. I tought the fatui could handle it but it's too much 😭
@@asyrafshukwait, i chose the 3 npcs + baby saurian's location too. u mean to tell me the mother and daughter died at the expense of that?? because i never met them in the quest. WHAT THE HELL
@@kurisumakise5687 unfortunately yes, it is 🥺
I saw Toto lying down the same but didn't check her, did she died, then? T-T
3 natlanian (Cuxtal and etc) sages are named similarly to Boborano, Capet and the third wooden toy man. They are either them or the wooden men were based off them because Simulanka is shaped based off Teyvat and mirrors it.
Something about we helping them figuring out their heritage about the dragon with kirara means there's a possibility that we gonna do the similar with kinich about the abyss or gnosis
Did you know the Archon Quest named after Chuychu's fate to die in order to save Natlan and awaken her sister's name? The AQ name is "The Rainbow Destined to Burn" And Chuychu/Kuychi means rainbow in Quechua language that's why even the English pronounce her name without English ways of pronouncing it
I was shouting "FOR NATLAN" really hard every time after the ode of resurrection came into effect. It was a painful cry for me. :(
Starting with "yippee" lol
everything was not, in fact, yippee.
Notice how we’ve never seen Capitano and Hatsune Miku in the same room? New theory dropped
4:08:12 Help I’m dying not the “MOVE” to the dead body of the fatui dude like he gonna inch his way over 😂
among the archon quest playthroughs i've seen, Dish's playthrough is the most different from mine. It's both entertaining and harrowing
Dish started light hearted stuff then went to WAR. The information was a lot to take in honestly and more questions than answers
4:09 for me, this scene was a bunch of dead Saurians and I still haven’t recovered. I was bawling 🥺
As I did this quest, all I could think about was Dvalin almost being corrupted by the abyss and then later Boreas. I don't want to imagine how devastating this war could have been if the abyss' plans had even succeeded in other nations.
don't get it mixed up, the abyss in natlan is the nature of the abyss itself, just like sumeru's forbidden knowledge, meanwhile the other ones is the abyss order group, they are khaenriahns who embracing the abyss led by our other sibling, their target is to destroy celestia and reviving khaenriah as a nation of humanity once more
23:34 that foreshadow/death flag was nasty 😪
Lore overload. I've been waiting for Minsleif's videos since the ACT came out, but I fear she 404 Error'ed.
You can check out some theorists I find have very interesting theories

I think you'll find their takes interesting.
Just gotta say, I love the way Dish reacts to this archon quest
2:48:03 when I played the quest I had to pause and listen Capitano say "catacylsm" a few times before i could go on in peace with the quest lmao it was so funny
Cataclsm 😭😭
Capitano's theme is so simple yet goes so hard
People were complaining because they expected an actual war in Natlan after 5.0s Release…Guess they got the answer theyve been waiting for
5:10:46 531k Mavuika esta rotísima

As someone who has lost a sibling, this game has made me start sobbing so many times, but Chuychu’s death really did me in. I had to go lie down in bed for a while before I could finish the quest not gonna lie 😭
Oh no, hope ur doing ok 😕
@@ediblestars07 I'm alright. Thank you ❤
@2:51:47 yeah, you should watch Arnold's reaction for the latest AQ (VOD) since he mostly nailed some lore things (while waiting for Ashikai☆)

Thank you for this! Finally done watching it, definitely rollercoaster of feels (and lore) :D
May I ask who's Arnold? I've been curious about this person ever since Dish mentioned it on this stream.
@@tgRueChannel name- MurderofBirds Impact
@@tgRue Another cc who plays genshin. I really like watching him because he is more of a lore heavy cc. His channel and twitch channel (if you want to watch) : murderofbirds impact and murderofbirds
@@tgRue he's a heavy lore enthusiast streamer. You should check his twitch and youtube account Murderofbirds.
@@tgRue it's murderofbirds in twi or yt!
this is the best fucking quest of fucking all fucking time.........
Hoyoverse: "Wanna see me do it again?"
This entire quest made us learn that in war, every move has consequences...
3:34:14 i don't see that as a complete spoiler tho, the game literally warns you abt this further in the story quest. plus there's a considerable amount of streamers that misses out on this info and just do any move without knowing there ARE consequences.
I think the warning was unnecessary. You said it yourself, the game tells you. If they miss it, they miss it - if they don't, they don't 🤷♀️
2:50:30 Capitano low key sounding like Optimus here 😊
Me on Natlan release: This is all just song and dance come on, where's the war, this nation is treating war like a sport
Me in 5.1 Act 4: Oh...oh it's Grim, it's dark. It's exactly what i was thinking of, oh god so many people are fuckin dead-
This quest was insane and had so many lore bombs. I was fr geeking out when talking to the Lord of the Night
Watching this playthrough and seeing the stuff I missed like opening the map to hear the character voicelines makes me desperately want to replay the archon quest. Really hope they'll add that feature eventually.
you have youtube for that
@@christiangarcia4925 it's not the same as replaying it myself
@@tangerine5903 by just clicking it again?
@@christiangarcia4925 I want the experience, not the voicelines.
Natlan's act 4 alone has more in-quest fights than the past archon quests combined, i feel
I read somewhere that cannonically this war arch goes over a 5 day period which the traveller doesnt stop more then a few moments
Aaaaaaa Chuychu and Chasca reminded me of me and my sister too Dish you’re not the only one 😭 that scene hit me like a truck
Sending my love and hugs to you dish ❤ this Archon quest has been an emotional ride. Dark and real. Just desperation and urgency during the entire thing and it still made us feel that we haven’t done enough to save everyone because the reality is we simply could not.
Hoyo perfectly captured the realities of war and its ugly side we all know. Nobody wins in a war, only tragedy. And we have seen it here. The voice actors have done an incredible job, Corina deserves her flowers this time as she pretty much carried the whole thing. Incredible depth of emotion from her in voicing Paimon.
4:21:39 if you Switch your locations, you can Safe 2 or 3 people and a yumkasaur. For that the mother and the child will die.
omg I just love Dish's streams and videos. I watch many people play this archon quest, but Dish's stream chat has left an impression on me that I have tried to look for in other streamers' chat, I failed though, it was how everyone typed "FOR NATLAN" rapidly during that cutscene and the fight at the stadium gate.
- 4:20:00 If you come here 1st and not to the fat potion lady with fatui, then there will be 2 more npcs with a geo saurian alive..... because if you don't send the fat lady to the stadium, she will die. But if you didn't chose her location 1st, then she won't appear as corpse (in fact won't appear at all) at the people of the spring location after this geo tribe encounter.
Absolutely pure cinemaa
🤚😔🤚
funny how you and bran called arnorld out on this XD
at the bottom right corner, it's actually capitano without his outfit
The captain was right, if the traveler wasn’t here, Chasca would’ve lost herself, and the Disney ass plan of wanting to save everything would have failed. Hell, they might not have even gotten ororon to awaken, they might’ve only gotten 4 hero’s total.
the traveler being there had nothing to do with Chasca not losing herself. Chasca did that on her own.
i agree but also kinda disagree LOL @@abcd-mo5mo let's not forget that it was the traveler's purification ability that gave chuychu enough time to say her last words to chasca. even chasca reinforces their part in all that. because chuychu had the chance to say a proper farewell to her sister, chasca had the adequate mental strength to hold herself back 👍🏻
"the Disney ass plan" WHY IS IT FUNNY LMAO
I am here to harvest the tears of the depresso...
I blame Hi3 for making me this way lmao
Same lmao we're all depressed addiction
There’s a crater between Tepeacac Rise and Ancestral Temple near the fatui base where they experiment on Saurian’s and inside the crater is a fragmented piece of the moon that was behind the fake sky.
Here is my theory about Capitano: He is an Alberich, specifically Kaeya’s father eventually.
As he said he was “close to the princess/prince” yet didn’t met Dainsleif during Khaenri’ah has to mean he got a high position, but not the same as Dainsleif. Since Dainsleif was a Royal Guard, Capitano has to be at a lower position. The Schwanenritter. As he was called “Commander” by the man that took over Ororon, he has to be a leader in some kind of way. When we look up Schwanenritter, we read about “Anfortas”, the person who took lead after the King “went crazy” (or how it was said). Anfortas is an Alberich. It’s confirmed that Capitano has blue eyes. the Alberichs got either dark blue or black hair and always blue eyes. It is said that Anfortas led an effort to bring Khaenri’ahn survivors aboveground to Sumeru. He is one (if not the only) Schwanenritter we don’t know what happened to him in the end who might still be alive.
Only one thing that’s off is that Anfortas only had one eye (right) left after he got betrayed by another Schwanenritter and in Mika’s story it’s said to be “two blue eyes […]”.
Also the flesh rotting part about Capitano: Hoyo surely won’t make gore so we can assume he will look like Dainsleif’s blueish flesh, just much “worse”. + Why can Dain and Pierro slow their “rotting” while he can’t and Pierro can’t or won’t help him with that?
I somewhat doubt that the captain is kaeya's father. Heck we saw how enamored he became to the Abyss for temporarily curing his son before he offs himself. The captain is a khanraien lower than dainsleif but a commander of their army.
@@rakmodslyr7459 yeah, that’s just like a little extra yk? But also, if you listen to Kaeya’s father’s voice and Capitano’s voice is sounds similar. A bit different what also could cause the mask (if he may or may not be his father). But I do not doubt that he may be Anfortas.
@@Keywithoutdoor plot wise that seems unlikely since if you remember kaeya's father founded the Abyss order. Why would he fight against a power for which he created an organisation for? Also having the same va doesn't always mean it's the same character.
@@rakmodslyr7459 Clothar founded the Abyss Order but I can’t recall him being confirmed as Kaeya’s father… Is it Said somewhere?
And I didn’t say it’s the same VA, I just said; cause they sound similar it could be the same person.
@@Keywithoutdoor Hmmm..... yeah you're right. Kaeya is a descendant of Clothar so I guess you have a point. Don't know who kaeya's father is then.
I have this intense feeling that Capitano would like to be the one dying instead of Mavuika. Since he did not, or in anyway can't slow down his body deterioration, I think he just wants to end himself to end his suffering. Since he can't find any way to 'end' himself since it is a curse like Dain have which is to live for thousands of years, or might be perpetually; Capitano will take the 1:1 fate laid upon Mavuika, for using the Ruler of Death demands death in return, and finally if that's the case, that's the death that Capitano would want.
Maybe he will join the traveler and Mavuika on the last battle, then just clutches and say "No, this is my death". But funny enough, Dain might have some screentime before that happens and he might know what Capitano wants. Just some thoughts about that small screentime of Capitano in the end. (Please, not all what I've said are facts, just some thoughts of mine.) Edit: And to add, since Capitano is sent by the Ruler of Death himself, then that ruler of death might listen to his demands, if he really wants to take that death. (still a better death than to fully catch a musou no hitotachi if my thoughts were true)
Regarding possible Ashikai videos to watch, her most recent Updated World Structure Theory has nailed the nature of Teyvat, I think. Highly recommend.
3:04:18 is Xilonen's comment about the weapons a jab to the devs? so in order to not compromise on quality they need a break,and xilonen will takeover, just like Da Wei huh..
The thing is, Vichama can't even reunite with his friend bc his friends soul got destroyed 😢
omg I realized that had I just looked closer, I could have saved so many people I knew! I couldn't do it....
03:46:30 lmao I missed his mum so hard I'm remembering it only now loool
3:36:15 Wait... That's a really good question, WHY CAN'T WE USE TELEPORT, lore wise? Or did I forgot that they used it just not shown?
the false sky being visually confirmed made me go crazy
I never knew a genshin quest could get so dark….
I m so sad because i don't know we have the exclussive voice line on the map. I missed that😢
I don’t remember all of them but I’m pretty sure Chasca’s was just her snarling and growling while fighting.
rip kachina and kinich voice
I don't even know why I'm doing this to myself again😭😭😭 watching Dish play through Act 4 when I know how much this act destroyed me.
I knew someone once who had no perception of what a spoiler was. I was saying that I was going to play through Hogwarts Legacy and they perked up. I stopped them immediately and said "No Spoilers. Like seriously, I want to go in completely blind so don't say anything." and they say (SPOILER WARNING)
"...well, I'll just say this. Think carefully when you're choosing your wand."
I just look at him and say "THIS IS WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT. I DIDN'T KNOW ID GET TO PICK A WAND. I WOULD HAVE LOVED TO FIND THAT OUT IN GAME."
It's Sunday and I'm watching the whole thing and no one can stop me!! 😤🍿
I’m so glad there’s other people who love the archon quest like I did, it was so great, and an amazing ending for Natlan, but people seem to hate it and I genuinely don’t know why..?
It’s sunshine and rainbows until it’s not
4:09:50 This gave me goosebumps. I arrived too late to this place and I swear I saw that NPC girl and woman dead. I couldn't save them omfg-
Oh please, Honkai Impact 3rd only killed Himeko, the other dead characters died before the events of the game and even Star Rail doesn't have the guts, Gallagher and Misha weren't real people and Tingyun is back as Fugue, all three games have the same problem of not truly killing characters.
Tbf, I'd be a tad bit immersion breaking if you played as a dead character. It's the issue of gacha games. Devs want to have an option to use these characters in the future.
So to be brutally honest here, if you think that a story needs to kill off characters to be good, you have no idea what you're talking about and your opinions lack merit because they're half-baked at best.
@@vetreas366I didn't say that and i don't think that, dish however said many times on stream that Genshin should kill off playable characters, near the end of this vod she said it wouldn't happen because this isn't a honkai game but Hoyo never truly did that.
Literally every female flamechaser is playable yet they are dead, they have tragically died 2 times, what is your point here?
@@vetreas366 They never said that, but let me say this, if you're going to make a story with high stakes it takes away from the intensity when we know none of the characters are going to die from the beginning. Like Mavuika is literally supposed to die and everybody already knows it's not going to happen, so where are the stakes? There is nothing wrong with killing off a character and still having them be playable. And OBVIOUSLY a death should be meaningful, we're not just calling for characters to die for the sake of it.
2:39:25 This part is so confusing because like, aren’t the dragons supposed to be Teyvat’s native inhabitants? And aren’t the heavenly principles/Celestia supposed to be outsides who came to Teyvat after the dragons had already existed for a long time? So how come this says that the Heyvenly Principles created elemental energy if dragons were already using it?
The heavenly principles refined phlogiston into the elements. Think of phlogiston like oil, that's converted into plastic and polyester, depending on what you need. But oil itself isn't a textile material and can't be used as a trash bag.
@@lulufortytwo3884 Well, yes thank you but i already know but that, this isn’t wasn’t what my comment was about, what im confused about is how could the Heavenly Principles be the ones that refined Phlogiston (Teyvat’s primordial source of energy) into the seven elements when the elemental dragons already inhibited Teyvat before the Heavenly Principles invaded Teyvat.
@@ATMEIDAREYAIDOUBLEDAREYA I had a 50/50 chance and I answered the wrong thing. oop
There was a thing in Simulanka with Kirara's story quest that said Simulanka had 3 origin stories and they were all right because the author couldn't make up their mind. I'm guessing that's a reference to this conflicting information and that's why we are confused. The only source we had for so long is from the Enkanomiya book, but it doesn't mean it had the full picture.
I literally was chatting with a friend earlier today that it's making me think the Primordial One might be a dragon. Mostly a crack theory, but it's fun to think about.
heres to hoping 5.3 quest is gonna be as hype if not even more
Lore!! and death, the scene chasca holding chychu in her arms walking remains me to kaneki and her best friend, men really all the anemo characther have to lose someone
Theory : We will be spending 5.2 completing the Traveller's Ancient Name with all the achievements before the 5.3 Archon Quest
Dish made all the same choices as me! I think I had only a few less deaths overall but I'm still mad about potion lady. I hate that I sent her to her death. It felt to me that the supplies getting to the People of the Springs was important but I guess not all endeavors can be successful :( Did anyone else make all the same choices but tell the potion lady to not go? I'm curious how that affects things.
She lives if sha didn't go
So long as the ship isn't criminal.... or just way out there... i couldn't care less about who ships who together... ((like I don't ship Childe and Zhongli... but i'm not going to insult you for it... Nor do I ship Alhaitham and Kaveh.. they don't give me 'relationship' vibes))
This was an amazing, if long and unending-feeling Archon Quest.

and we still have one more nation to go to and i bet it will even worse then all this
Not too mention after Sheznaya will be entering the endgame
Phlogiston isn't before the dragons the dragons are primordial
