@@rootiyk5032 what filler? We are supposed to explore the whole of Teyvat not just Archon quests. Every patch gives a insight into different lore of Teyvat.
@@Cook1e00 cause this video only focused on the AQ. If you just want to experience the AQ(main storylines) then just watch the walkthrough of GI, no need to play the game so u won't get any so called "fillers". Any game or work of fiction includes extra things, those extra things makes the story alive. Fillers are something that doesn't impact anything in the story at all. In the whole 4.x patches only 4.3 and 4.5 can be considered as real fillers. 4.4 gave us more lore about Liuye, 4.6 gave us lore about Rimuria, 4.8 gave us more lore about the Hexancircle Witches. 4.7 had AQ.
I can't believe that we've been through this game for 4 years straight and it's already reaching new insane lores in every nation we enter, here I wasn't really that excited for Natlan and man I regretted on said that before
for real man. personally I was on the opposite boat in terms of excitement after Fontaine. Having played since launch, the story and lore has hit another level ever since Sumeru and I can't wait for Natlan and the future 🥲 (also Natlan's main theme is soooooo so good)
@@Lol-dw5xb I do wonder how they'll handle next year from Snechnaya to Khaenri'ah, maybe it will be next year or they'll have another year wait like before, but I feel like that they shouldn't drag it on too long
Out of all of the beautiful (archon) quests, the Sumeru one is just best imo. I love Sumeru so so much ahh. It gives me so much nostalgia for some reason.
I think the height of the game was Inazuma, but Sumeru was awesome too. Everybody being trapped in that Sumsera Cycle thing was really cool and that story really had me in my feelings.
@@gamertl8245 I know what you mean Sumeru did seem like it too a long time to arrive, it was really drawn out and the game kind of went out of bounds or too far by that time. I think Sumeru was the start of the downhill decline of Genshin at the time too, but I still enjoyed the story. The gameplay and the Aranara stuff got kind of confusing at that point in the game so I completely understand.
the traveler should imo become more and more jaded since every region is the same cycle of "oh ill help if you do this, this, this, this, this, this and this." and then "oh sorry idk lol ill keep an eye out i guess" it should piss them off to no end ffs
They directly refuses Navia's request for help after the first act in Fontaine, stating that it's simply not their problem But maybe after being told so many times that the "destination might not be as important as the journey itself", you should understand what the story is trying to tell, because for sure the Traveler has already
To be fair, Nahida I think restored some faith in them because she genuinely tried her best and gave the traveller a bit of hope, and they know that the journey is what their sibling went through to get where they are, so they're tracing them.
I think the Fatui probably have 6/7 of the Gnoses. The Fatui took the Anemo, Geo, Electro, Dendro, and Hydro gnoses. Since the Tsaritsa is the Cryo Archon, odds are high she already possesses the Cryo gnosis unless something unexpected happened... So if my assumption that the Cryo archon has the Cryo gnosis is correct, then the Pyro gnosis is the final chess piece to obtain...
my guess is we'll finaly learn of and twart the fatui's plan in sneznaya and in kaenrhia, we'll deal with the abyss order like it the whole arc was a massive dainsleif quest. what i really hope, though, is that the final fight with the abyss order will be some sort of avenger end game moment, where every character we ever met join their forces with us. even some fatui like tartaglia and arlechino and the archons. ua-cam.com/video/oKtPL3-9OUM/v-deo.html
I saw someone theorize that the we don’t necessarily know if they have the cyro gnosis but like what if they think the traveler will be the key to them getting it since the traveler is involved every time lmaoo
Zhongli can still make mora, timeline wise, it won’t make sense if he can’t. He’s been making mora since the beginning of Liyue, 3700 years ago via his SQ1 talking about making the first house of Liyue fully out of mora… and the end of the archon war and the likely place a gnosis is given was 2000 years ago. The Geo Gemstone says its his flesh and blood, even people from Sumeru says so. And he’s called Deus Auri by Neuvi, literally meaning “Gold God”. Add that in The Dialogue of the Desert Sage, the magical wand looking polearm… Aamon said that transformation into gold and mora are the Sole Province of Deus Auri. In the AQ, Zhongli was talking about needing the Geo Archon’s power to create mora… who is suppose to be dead, it won’t make sense if new mora still is being minted or more are appearing out of no where when the only god that can make mora is dead… basically its Zhongli being vague at best… which he is…a lot of times like his age…
@@othi-k2k back when she streamed Fontaine and Navia appeared she (and all of chat) called her Navi-AUGH. I believed it was kind of meant to resemble a French pronunciation hehe 🖤💛💙
thank you for the recap!! absolutely insane that we are now headed to natlan. Natlan felt like it was an eternity away, even when Fontaine released last year
now that I think about it, Inazuma's story was perfect, it was just that the story telling was messed up with alot of wasted potential also sumeru and fontaine were PEAK ong, with both story and story telling, I have high hopes for Natlan
Yeah thats was makes me sad the story at the begining is great but the sangonomiya part to the end is soo messy and having already played sumeru and fontaine AQ makes me really sad that inazuma dont have the same treatment like now 😢
I wouldn't use the word perfect, but rather it had the base of something being good but wasted it. I hope we could get future events that could at least improve some of these things
You just did ALL of us a huge favor. So many things that i learned/remembered thanks to you, definitely needed that refresh before hopping into Natlan ❤
Zhongli actually knows something about our brother. It's been a really long time but I still remember getting upset at him because he said he knew but had a contract, and couldn't say anything.
Not only was this an awesome recap but I loved how all the names were pronounced correctly, as they would be in their respective languages! Props for going the extra mile, that felt great. :')
I've been playing the game since v1.2 and pretty much know all of this already, but I still wanted to and enjoyed watching this. Thanks for the video, I love your in-depth analysis and explanations of Genshin Impact lore and gameplay, much appreciated Minsleif. ❤
It seems that most all the Archons that the traveller meet so far has a intention of or has an event that seems having something to do to the liberation of the people of all Teyvat and its beings. Maybe just maybe most of the current Archons want it except for the Tsaritsa (or maybe its an act to convince people that she is cold hearted) that in the end she will have the middle finger in front of the Heavenly Principles. The Archons however will remain to guide the people just to ensure that the powers and the beings of the Abyss will be at bay. Also to avoid the same mistakes of Khaenri'ah.
18:12 I was hoping the meme would get referenced and I am not disappointed. 🎶ACCORDING TO THE JUDGEMENT OF THE ORATRICE MECHANIQUE D’ANALYSE CARDINALE🎶 will probably still be referenced by the community even when we get to Snezhnaya
I realize that the time and anticipation between each nation's release really take the excitement to the maximum. I'm glad I started playing Genshin from the early patches; the hype before a new region's release is always exciting!
Wait. iirc, zhongli do knows about the siblings. However he's under the contract to not say anything about the sibling to the other. Can't remember during which quest, I think when zhongli throw guizhong's chandelier or something
I don't usually comment on videos I've watched, but I felt compelled to say something after watching your video. I sincerely congratulate you on the quality of your editing and narration. The slices of many lore videos and the pronunciations were impeccable. It looked like it was one big, beautiful cutscene. Since it's a relatively short video, I felt it was a bit too summarized. But at least you managed to bring up the main points of each arc, which is great for older players who don't want to watch hours of old quests again. Anyway, very good job and thanks for all the effort to bring such a good content!
Although The Global scale production of Mora is done by Liyue Golden House with the help of geo gnosis (as it stopped operating when it's taken) there's no line or text in game that ever says Mora is created by the power of Geo Gnosis in the first place. According to Zhongli SQ1, Rex Lapis taught his people how to build a house using Mora at the beginning of Liyue Harbor's construction. Following the recent info from Xianyun's SQ about Guili Assembly's fall being the peak of Liyue Archon War, that means Rex Lapis relocating his people back to the sounth of Mt.Tianheng and the construction of Liyue Harbor were done at the height of war. He wasn't even an archon yet he already had the power to build a house of out Mora. Not to mention how Hoyo pushing his Deus Auri title a lot lately. So it isn't about Geo Gnosis being the power that creates Mora, but about Liyue Golden House is no longer able to produce Mora without it hence the "no new Mora can be minted".
I remmber watching the other recap that you made before Fontaine released, i joined late 3.8 and i was LOVING the lore of the game and was so hyped. I cannot belive Natlan is in just a couple of days. Time flies by so fast..
I love your voice it's like a mother telling me a bedtime story looking forward to more lore storytime because I quit genshin and I just want to know abt the story honestly
What frightens me is how headstrong Lumine (I chose Aether as my Traveler) is in reviving Khaenriah, to the point that she doesn't seem to care about the current world. The siblings are in a direct collision course against each other. And the end result is gonna get ugly.
We know some archon are okay with taking the gnosis to the Fatui. And the Heavenly Principle is not awoken all these times. Nahida says that destroying the gnosis might take Celestia attention. It think the tsaritsa want to take all the gnosis to awaken the Heavenly Principles. Because there might be incoming threat which is the Sinner.
I'd leif 1000 likes if i could. This is one awesome summery of 4 years of lore, capturing the most important bits and told in an entertaining and captivating way. Amazing job!
Mondstadt was like a fresh breeze of air. Liyue had a rock-solid plot. Inazuma struck me like lightning. Sumeru plot blossomed into a beautiful story. Fontaine story made me cry. And Natlan story is fire. Given all that I think Snezhnaya will be pretty cool.
This story telling is a work of art, you give all the details that are needed every archon quest. now im on natlan i guess i can now wait for the upcoming story ..!!!
01:07 I never knew that but archons being at the bottom in the divine hierarchy is absolutely crazy given the feats they have which truly does make celestia more terrifying
Thank you for the whole recap. I played since somewhere in 1.1 (Fischl Event und Tartaglia Banner were the First Event and Banner) and getting a recap for everything is kind of nostalgic and refreshing.
Thanks for the recap of the story since it lot to take from the amount of Archon quests we have this really helps to understand whats going on And The connection between natlan now the Natlan quest will make more sense after this ✨😌
8:47 For those who wants to be technical with the story: just like Venti - Zhongli knows (they are oldest Archons) but cant and dont want to disclose all of Teyvat history per the contracts and out of his personal views that the Traveler and Paimon should witness everything for themselfs.
Coming back right before 5.0 ends and im so glad I can just skip the story straight to the natlan storyline, I skiped the entirety of sumeru and the 2nd half of fontained. Ty for the recap
minsleif actually went from the dark serious story teller,to ur classmate telling u jokes while ur teacher is watching u holding that burst of laughter,and i actually respect it lmao.
oh my god we have come so far as a player who has been playing from 2.0 (but didnt login for aloy for 1 month) i still remeber how everyone felt when kazuha stopped raiden how exited everyone was for dendro theoires about there will be new reactions wiht anemo and geo along with dendro how cool it felt to go to fontaine seeing the massive waterfall the sacrifice of focalor
I love Genshin's lore so much it is what has kept me hooked into the game for all these years!! The lore is so good especially as of recent in Fontaine and Natlan the lore has gotten even better!!
i can’t stop thinking about how focalors trapped neuvillette into being among her people without his powers so that he would care / save them when he got his power restored, and how the traveller was trapped by a god among the people of teyvet without her powers and is learning to care for / save these people despite definitely supposed to be on the abyss side (given their twin’s position throughout the interludes). such a cool foreshadowing imo.
Guys. Minted and Created are TWO DIFFERENT THINGS. Zhongli admits that he needed the Gnosis to mint new Mora, nothing about creating Mora which he can still do because he had also said this towards the end of the Liyue Archon Quest as an answer to Paimon. Mins is NOT wrong because it's canon lore. You can go to your Archives and re-read Liyue Archon Quest from start to finish if you need a proper recap anyway. Mora had been in existence long before the Archon Wars, long before the Liyue Harbour was founded and long before the Guili Assembly was formed. So yes, he doesn't need the Gnosis to create the Mora but it's the truth that it's needed to mint hence the existence of the Golden House. The only minting house in Tevyat.
@@EnemyStandUser_ Its similar to producing which means you produce something that already exists which in this case is Mora. Mora was personally created by Zhongli and he remains the sole person who can create Gold hence his title as Deus Auri (God of Gold). All the Gnosis did was mass produce something that had already existed. 😊😊😊 I hope this helps.
Okay i have a crazy theory , capitano said to pyro archon ley line secret no secret to me . Oath made years ago remain unfulfilled. Maybe capitano is one of the hero 500 years ago and just like pyro archon he also time travel 500 in future.
11:35 OMG I WASNT EXPECTING MINSLEIF SPEAK KOREAN "ZHONGLI HALL- ABUJI" HAHA I was just watching a video to get a recap of genshin's story, and I really wasnt expecting to hear a familiar word mid way of the video Loll (Yes, I am Korean) And thanks for the great video👍

What frightens me is how headstrong Lumine (I chose Aether as my Traveler) is in reviving Khaenriah, to the point that she doesn't seem to care about the current world. The siblings are in a direct collision course against each other. And the end result is gonna get ugly.
alright, when I‘ll login later I will mark all of these and my other fav places in teyvat.
thx for the nostalgic video
before watching ima say if it was longer i still would have watched it
ik its gonna be a great recap covering all the imp details
calling the raiden shogun puppet a fursona is INSANE 😭
I remeber dragonspine coming out like it was yesterday time sure flies
how did minsleif konw we needed a refresher
she always coming in clutch
10:10 "She wet socked dances her way into travelers heart" I'm wheezing, the humour and editing are amazing lol
20:24 ~we demand a Xianyun Kakaw~
We know some archon are okay with taking the gnosis to the Fatui. And the Heavenly Principle is not awoken all these times. Nahida says that destroying the gnosis might take Celestia attention. It think the tsaritsa want to take all the gnosis to awaken the Heavenly Principles. Because there might be incoming threat which is the Sinner.
I'd leif 1000 likes if i could. This is one awesome summery of 4 years of lore, capturing the most important bits and told in an entertaining and captivating way. Amazing job!
Mondstadt was like a fresh breeze of air.
Liyue had a rock-solid plot.
Inazuma struck me like lightning.
Sumeru plot blossomed into a beautiful story.
Fontaine story made me cry.
And Natlan story is fire.
Given all that I think Snezhnaya will be pretty cool.
Wow so nicely written 😮❤
Fun fact :
The Name Entire Fatui Harbinger is based on a play in italy 🇮🇹 called Commedia Del'arte
you condense the lore so well
What lore? She telling the current story.
This story telling is a work of art, you give all the details that are needed every archon quest. now im on natlan i guess i can now wait for the upcoming story ..!!!
THANK YOU!!!!! I LOVE THIS!
I thought you weren’t gonna make it. Much love from Vietnam
Hearing the summaries of Nahida and Furina's stories still makes my eyes tear up :(
Now we need a recap of khanvera of good and evil world quest and enkanomiya
01:07 I never knew that but archons being at the bottom in the divine hierarchy is absolutely crazy given the feats they have which truly does make celestia more terrifying
Best story teller of Genshin period
Thank you for the whole recap. I played since somewhere in 1.1 (Fischl Event und Tartaglia Banner were the First Event and Banner) and getting a recap for everything is kind of nostalgic and refreshing.
''The poor fatui intern that had to collect her with a dustpan" 😂
My friends roped me into this, and now I'm already neck-deep in the Genshin lore.
Thanks for the recap of the story since it lot to take from the amount of Archon quests we have this really helps to understand whats going on And The connection between natlan now the Natlan quest will make more sense after this ✨😌
8:47 For those who wants to be technical with the story: just like Venti - Zhongli knows (they are oldest Archons) but cant and dont want to disclose all of Teyvat history per the contracts and out of his personal views that the Traveler and Paimon should witness everything for themselfs.
Coming back right before 5.0 ends and im so glad I can just skip the story straight to the natlan storyline, I skiped the entirety of sumeru and the 2nd half of fontained. Ty for the recap
thank you for always posting these for us minsleif theyre always so helpful
thank you for the recap. so many great moments. ngl - felt like I was speed running tears there for a moment. best game art & story.
ur so good at making these videos queen ily
I realized how much I love genshin after watching the whole video😭, the lore is just everything
minsleif actually went from the dark serious story teller,to ur classmate telling u jokes while ur teacher is watching u holding that burst of laughter,and i actually respect it lmao.
Thank you so much for explaining this in a video under 30 mins
podcast material! im a big fan of genshin for the reason of their lore so these videos are so fun
oh my god we have come so far as a player who has been playing from 2.0 (but didnt login for aloy for 1 month) i still remeber
how everyone felt when kazuha stopped raiden
how exited everyone was for dendro
theoires about there will be new reactions wiht anemo and geo along with dendro
how cool it felt to go to fontaine seeing the massive waterfall
the sacrifice of focalor
I listen to your videos while working on music all the time. Your voice is so calming ^_^
I’m amazed by how well you explain things!
took a long break from Genshin ever sice I finished the Fontaine Archon Quests, this was very helpful for getting back on track with the story :)
I love Genshin's lore so much it is what has kept me hooked into the game for all these years!! The lore is so good especially as of recent in Fontaine and Natlan the lore has gotten even better!!
Wtf theres no lore in this video 🌚 holy idiot.
omg ty so much ive been waiting for this video since the 5.0 livestream
Zhongli Haraboji caught me off guard and thus made me choke on my soda 😆😆😆
I honestly wasn't expecting 18:10 to be in a @Minsleif video. Took me off guard 😂😂😂😂
18:11 had me cackling HARD
I can't thank you enough for saving me endless hours playing the archon quests I missed...
minsleif never dissapoints
i can’t stop thinking about how focalors trapped neuvillette into being among her people without his powers so that he would care / save them when he got his power restored, and how the traveller was trapped by a god among the people of teyvet without her powers and is learning to care for / save these people despite definitely supposed to be on the abyss side (given their twin’s position throughout the interludes). such a cool foreshadowing imo.
The explanation is compact but deep.. good job 👍
Furina is the body of Focalors. Focalors is an intangible aspect that broke away from this very body. They are one in the same.
Thank you so much for this video! I love it and it’s amazing!
Guys. Minted and Created are TWO DIFFERENT THINGS.
Zhongli admits that he needed the Gnosis to mint new Mora, nothing about creating Mora which he can still do because he had also said this towards the end of the Liyue Archon Quest as an answer to Paimon. Mins is NOT wrong because it's canon lore. You can go to your Archives and re-read Liyue Archon Quest from start to finish if you need a proper recap anyway. Mora had been in existence long before the Archon Wars, long before the Liyue Harbour was founded and long before the Guili Assembly was formed. So yes, he doesn't need the Gnosis to create the Mora but it's the truth that it's needed to mint hence the existence of the Golden House. The only minting house in Tevyat.
What is the difference between minting and creating?
@@EnemyStandUser_ Its similar to producing which means you produce something that already exists which in this case is Mora. Mora was personally created by Zhongli and he remains the sole person who can create Gold hence his title as Deus Auri (God of Gold). All the Gnosis did was mass produce something that had already existed. 😊😊😊 I hope this helps.
Okay i have a crazy theory , capitano said to pyro archon ley line secret no secret to me . Oath made years ago remain unfulfilled. Maybe capitano is one of the hero 500 years ago and just like pyro archon he also time travel 500 in future.
Love your vids so much. This is the kind of refresher that I need ❤
I cried like 3 times watching this wtf how invested am i in this game
I want to mention Minsleif forget one detail:
The bombarding of Liyue Harbor 1942 from Klee.
11:35 OMG I WASNT EXPECTING MINSLEIF SPEAK KOREAN "ZHONGLI HALL- ABUJI" HAHA
I was just watching a video to get a recap of genshin's story, and I really wasnt expecting to hear a familiar word mid way of the video Loll
(Yes, I am Korean)
And thanks for the great video👍
