When Xiao and the other Yaksha were screaming made me want to tear up. But each time they were saying Bosacious name made me more sad of how they were once happy people and a close family.
same, this quest really brought me to the verge of tears:')
The Japanese version is even more desperate and hurting, it is just too good
Lol
yeah, too bad you never spent enough time with any of them aside from xiao to actually give a f*ck
Same here the moment i hear them scream my heart just shattered
It's comforting to know that he at least died knowing who he was and that he had a family that loved him.
Did he really die though?
@@junaidahmad9283 yes he did
@@hydrotempest how do I get the quest?
@@marschu_ii4794 you have to go on the event page and that "perilious trail" event will tell you about prerequisite quests but if I remember well you have to finish :
Inazuma archon quest (to unlock Itto's story quest and Raiden's 1st story quest)
You have to finish Raiden's second story quest but you have to do the 1st to unlock it ofc
Itto's story quest as I said
A world quest about the Serenitea pot but I forgot the name
The chasm's main world quest also forgot the name with that exploration team
I forgot if you have to do Xiao's story quest too
Edit : for reasons I can’t explain you have to also do Kokomi's story quest to unlock Itto's
He might not have died though
My guy lost his sanity and even forgot his name but still remember the other Yakshas names and their memories together. The fact that he made the biggest sacrifice for his family and for Liyue truly earned his title as Yaksha and "Big Brother"
Well, he was the eldest among them so indeed, he is a big brother.
@@justsomeguywithgreenhair yes, thats what im trying to say. He is truly a big brother to the other Yakshas
ua-cam.com/video/IFyDsnMCMD8/v-deo.html
Finally its here
Lost his sanity? He seems pretty sane to me in the video, just lost his memory. Or, are you talking about the story in the quest? (I haven't actually done the quest)
@@potatoesandducks958 Losing all his memories, starting hallucinating that Boyand is his fellow Yakshas and plus i'm just repeating what Xiao said xD
"My brothers and sisters have come for me, Boyang"
This line always gets me emotional. I loved this quest
It's even more sad because he says this while still being deep in the chaotic space of the chasm and hallucinates by seeing the shadows on the walls, when in reality there is no one there. The shadows only stirred his memory to remember but it was only him and Boyang there.
I had tears seeing that part 😔😔😔
They dead right?
It's a salt in the wound that the only happy part of this video is that he remembered his Yaksha siblings before perishing
@@SpikeTheWolf What quest Is this?
Yeah they died exept for Xiao
The Yakshas were really a family... it makes their deaths all the more tragic, but the fact that they cared and looked out for each other is so moving. I love this quest to pieces.
But in the end they killed each other. Some family right there.
@@rumuelnathanael8043 They lost their sanity, lost to the karma
You can't blame them for that
@@rumuelnathanael8043 I mean you can't blame them.
@@rumuelnathanael8043 yeah like they were sane and killed each other willingly
ua-cam.com/video/IFyDsnMCMD8/v-deo.html
Finally its here
The moment he says my *Brothers and Sisters have come for me* Made me break down in tears. This was legendary
Same here
same :(
same
same here dude:(
The fact that Bouyang called Bosacius "brother" is enough to tear me up, it's probably Bosacius' first time being called "brother" by a human, people would usually call deitys like him by titles or just "Almighty Yaksha"
He doesn't know his title
In chinese culture we call (close friends/brother in arms) brothers. If the friendship last long they even celebrated a ceremony to make them offical brothers stronger than being blood related.
Yeah and as xiao said bosacius longed to become a mortal tho impossible, it happened somewhat
@@MREAGLE-6666 No he said his fellow Yaksha's talked about living mortal lives (like Zhongli, Madam Ping, and Yanfei's father) after fulfilling their duties, however their karmic debt and harsh nature of the Archon War itself prevented this.
If you read the lore of his mask for Xiao's artifact set (Vermillion hereafter), it mentions the dying of the sound of drums in the distance, signifying the end of a hero. The end of this OST features a drum crescendo and abruptly ends at the very end. This consistency and attention to detail continues to make Genshin such a beautiful and captivating game♡
OOO neat find! As Yelan said, it's like they have the fate of themselves in their hands (the compass), so let's turn it around. Zhongli turned around Xiao's fate & thus his character development has been catalyzed
it's insane how much details genshin puts into their game literally 😭
More details plz mihoyo
I can't hear drums there. What timecode is it?
@@АлександрБычков-к4н It's mixed together during 3:51's crescendo :)
Even if karma made Bosacious insane, he was able to remember who his family was, and who he was at the very end. When he said his name in the end, as he always used to do before… Archons, this story quest was just so powerful
ua-cam.com/video/oPmbraAtXdU/v-deo.html
Finally its here.
reminds me of the term "terminal lucidity"
@@Legendnewer Yep, it's very similar to those with dementia/Alzheimer's in the real world.
Yea but..
Why itto!?
II also notices that his chest area got cleared of the karma, the symbolism is nuts
Hearing the Yakshas scream in pain was heart wrenching. I couldn't imagine the pain of being immortal. It's truly a life of loss, sadness, and madness.
ua-cam.com/video/mMmSP4YzTCw/v-deo.html nhf
Ya
In Honkai, Fu Hua is also immortal and is over 50 thousand years old. Can't imagine how much pain she had endured as friends and families she had met fallen
A large part of it is Celestia's fault tbh. If not for them there wouldn't be so many monsters, the Archon War etc, which makes it necessary for people like the Yaksha to suffer in the line of duty.
I hope we get to kick their asses eventually.
Truly the best cutscene, tearful, heartwarming, and saddening. and did u notice when he remembered the other yakashas only Xiao's memory didn't break that means the other are no longer in the world only Xiao remains
Umm about zhongli??
@@asurams4537 I'm talking about the yakashas
A nice detail:
“It’s only you and me, don’t die before me!”
“Alatus is that you?”
Bosacious despite being out of his mind, still remembers the only living yaksha besides him😭
Wow man. An amazing detail to notice.
nice detail
NO MY HEART
THIS HURTS
But didn’t he also mention menogious
@@SimulatedRoses he did when the firestarter is ignited.
The part that made me cry is when the scene showed how the other Yakshas were in pain.
It hurt so bad when the scene showed Indarias and Xiao.
The way he remembered each of them calling to him and everyone but Xiao's image shattered and was splattered in blood...
xiao's was the one that finally made me break down crying 🥲
ACTUALLY- XIAO MAKES ME CRY SO MUCH 💀😭
xiao's scream made me cry alot he's been through to much
@@XxxmiraxxX06 YES IM SO SAD HE DESERVES SM BETTER
The screams of the Yaksha are so heartbreaking. To see how they all acted as friends before going through pain is tearing me upp.

Finally its here
Bot World TM
Meanwhile me with a ringtone of amber’s jp va screaming in agony at the top of her lungs
Some content is not shown in the English version
"Bosacius" in Chinese version is "浮舍"
The name is taken from the first and last words of "浮生一刹，万般皆舍"
which means that life is short, (to protect the things I love) I can give up everything
same as the English version “my destiny is to make the ultimate sacrifice”
Hope you like it
一直玩英語版本的，看來我錯過好多啊😂但又捨不得itto的英配
Chinese are really good at making games
@@mr.kotowari602 Japanese games are fun too🍀
@@colourless2843 Lmao my friend is the same. He loves itto's CN dub but can't stand the English version.
Thank you for translating this 💕
"I am Bosacius! And my destiny is to make the ultimate sacrifice!"
Hoyo really out done themselves
With vegeta or goku hair
In the original translation it is more epic, it's a pity that language barrier exists. Here's how he said his name in chinese: "我叫*浮舍*, 意为, *浮*生一刹, 万般皆*舍*" and can be translated to "My name is 浮舍 (Fushe/Bosacious) and the meaning is: life is only a blink, (for the better) I can sacrifice everything". Notice that his name forms the first and last word of the meaning. I can give you a more detailed explanation if you wanted, but it will also include some basics of chinese language too :)
@@Felix11010 ooh I would like a more detailed explanation if you don't mind!
I know mandarin but I'm not that fluent.
@@rxxalyz3071 sure, also pardon me if it's quite messy, I'm also just an intermediate chinese speaker myself.
Chinese poem's grammar is nothing alike modern Chinese, so you can leave that behind and focus on what each word means individually, then what would they mean if they're together in a sentence (some have different meaning based on the context).
Lets split his last words into 3 parts "(1)我叫浮舍, 意为, (2)浮生一刹, (3)万般皆舍"
The first part is very straightforward, which just "My name is Bosacious and it means..."
His name alone doesnt really make any sense yet, in the most basic context:
浮: floating/temporary/superficial
舍: house/place
The second part is actually made up of 2 words, so we dont need to see the individual meaning. Here in means:
浮生: fleeting/temporary life
一刹: a flash/moment
roughly it translates to "Life is only temporary"
The third part can be separated into 3 words. In this context it means:
万般: ten-thousand (万) kinds (般), or could be roughly translated to "every thing"
皆: similar to 都 that means "everything" in the sense of 'the whole subject'
舍(弃): its actually a abbreviation, originally it meant "to gave up"
This part alone means "everything can be given up"
Now lastly, given the context that he is a Yaksha that fights for the greater good, we can fill in the missing context to create the meaning: "Life is only temporary, (for the grater good) everything can be given up"
Hope this helps ^_^
@@Felix11010 @Felix I knew someone would feel the same way. This is another instance that I feel so lucky that I know Chinese, and I'm really feel sorry for others that don't... Although the translation is descent, the original Chinese script is much more poetic and touching.... and you did a great job explaining it. Just personally I think it should be "Everything can be sacrificed(for the better)" as there is no "I" in there... the wording related to some Buddhism concept.
I ugly cried like a kid on this one. It's such a beautifully emotional cut scene. The sadness and hope, determination and heroics... Beautiful work Hoyo! Kudos again...
Same. It was so beautiful and sad. 😭😭😭
same this hurt me beyond repair, first the story with dain and now this.
Verge on tears while watching the cut scene on YT
Same
Wuss
When Bosacius remembered his name I just got chills. I didn't cry but I felt really depressed at the end 😭😭😭😭😭
Best archon quest tbh, I love how they finally gave us more Yaksha lore after what felt like maybe a year. I’m interested more in the story line now, I love how they made the detail of them going in rage and madness, I really like everything about this archon quest. I’m hoping that in the future the game will be lots more cooler, I can’t imagine Sumeru now.
@@Ekklesia2680 bruh
@@Ekklesia2680 it's both, the event (fighting domain) and archon quest are intertwined
@@Ekklesia2680 both. It's an interlude archon quest (just like the jade chamber) and the event is just about the fighting domains to collect crystals and buy the bow's refinement + other items
I want more yaksha story but I also don't... especially where the geo and hydro yakshas are concerned, because seeing them turning on each other is just devastating knowing how much of a family they were. Imagine the horror of Xiao and Bosacius seeing two of their family turning on each other and slaughtering each other.
I was kinda losing love for genshin and then this archon quest dropped and now has me satisfied until atleast 3.0
When boyang says "Dont Die Before Me", it always kills me a little on the inside
And sadly he did died before Boyang.
This event was actually so good, the cut scene got me all the feels especially when they were drawing on xiao as he slept, such a nice glimpse to the once beautiful family
Begone bot!!!
If the Yakshas became playable characters, they would definitely be popular to collect like the Archons
i like how the first comments are bots
They are dead
@@captive8670 "if"
@@captive8670 Honkai has playable characters that are canonically dead, so it's not impossible
@@ItsJohnBomb mommy signora?
I think the reason Xiao sticks to me as his character is because you want to _actually_ help him. Some of us understand loss, losing people, and losing yourself. And I personally see just a bit of myself in him. Xiao pushes people away because he wants to be a hero, he wants to make sure others never get hurt, to save everyone, and part of that is pushing people away so he can’t hurt them and they don’t come into harm’s way. Xiao sacrifices himself to save other people, pushing himself time and time again just to make sure everyone else can live. He values people over himself because his duty of protecting others is all he knows. He said so himself, he sees himself as a slaughterer, nothing more, because he doesn’t think his life is worth the life of others. His duty and desire is to make sure others are okay, alive, and happy, where they can live in a world of peace that he never got to experience. He wants to give others what he can never have. That’s what makes him such a good character, because you understand what he’s sacrificed to see others happy. And, as the traveller, you want nothing more than to give him what he’s lost. To return the favor in a way you know? Because Xiao, at least to the traveller, is their friend. If anything, I think we can all agree we want him to finally find peace and happiness. And after this story quest I think xiao is finally coming to peace with the past and finally finding his own peace. I hope he gets it someday
Xiao is probably the most selfless character ❤️
Well said!
tf with me crying while reading this. 😭😭😭
It pains me how Xiao decided to seclude himself. He knows fully well the effect of Karma because he experience and see it for himself. Some might find his action as him disliking humans but out of all, Xiao loves the humans the most and doesn't want any harm to come on their way because of him.
Yes and sometimes sacrificing yourself for the sake of someone you love is actually not one of the best options. This is what this story quest is all about in my opinion
Beautifully said this is why he is my favorite character 💔
The fact that yakshas considered them as close as siblings, so when xiao heard zhongli died, it must’ve been like he lost his last family member after the death of all of siblings
At the end he talks to him though so he knows he's still alive and I think he can sense his presence because Zhongli never showed himself when he saved Xiao but Xiao knew it was him
@@angelvu i remember that zhongli had to basically talk to xiao through his dreams and tell him that he was still alive and that he was now a mortal named zhongli
The adepti also probably already knew that rex lapis didn't die... When a god dies, a calamity appears along with the death of a god and a god as powerful as Zhongli would surely turn liyue into a living hell yet liyue is just fine and not even a scratch is there.
@Lelouch Vi Britannia nice plot bro ,most of the citizens of liyue dont know god of salt end moment and what she did ,but zhongli getting killed that was strange for me as well
I cried at this cutscene. Man, the most recent archon quest is crazy. I thought Xiao was gonna die
ua-cam.com/video/mMmSP4YzTCw/v-deo.html nj
Well, even if he did die it would be really sad, but at the same time it would be ok. He would of been with his brothers and sisters again; a much better place then where he is now (since his karma is still trying to eat away at him). However, Zhongli decided that his time wasn't up yet and we thank him for Xiao being alive today. :>
@@heavenlyplayz2393 so all other yaksha's are dead ?
@@tuhin1264 Yep.
me too! i thought mhy was gonna off our boy like that 😭
The way Bosacius was forgetting who he was sounds like amnesia and that was so terrifying and heartbreaking to think about. I'm glad him and Yelan's ancestor fought to the bitter end to keep the memories
I think you mean Dementia, and yes, it is terrifying and heartbreaking.
its a lot worse than dementia and amnesia. he was slowly walking to a state of insanity. with unstable memories, grip on time, and self identity.
It's neither amnesia nor dementia...
It's *erosion*
@@Geraldo_Rivian Erosion is the passing of time slowly wearing them down, thats zhongli and azhdaha, what bocasius experienced is the accumulation of karmic debt from dealing with the remains of gods
@@mimimi1287 what is this karma?
Why doesn't anybody else accumulate this?
Don't act like u understand the lore...we all know genshin lore is incomplete
You know how serious the moments are when they also show BLOOD in the animated parts, which just scares me to how much the Yakshas suffered before their end.
This entire quest chain was absolutely amazing
My favorite thing was that Zhongli directly intervened and saved Xiao, that was beautiful and epic
I absolutely shed a tear at that 😭💖
I mean, Xiao is the last yaksha, Zhongli gotta protect that last one.
It wasn't zhongli. He told us he was at the tea house. I think it was actually the geo yaksha
@@rollermaster064 haha it was Zhongli, he denied it because he doesn't want to admit and just want to wander the world as human for the rest of his time
@@abbymelcoffee1813 no it really wasn't him. Zhongli is just an ordinary man who enjoys tea
I hope we will get the second part of Xiao´storyquest as soon as possible.
ua-cam.com/video/31t4DGbhjFk/v-deo.html
I dont think we will get an act 2 of his story quest since this event/archon quest is mainly about him and the yakshas and i think thats enough for his lore honestly.. hyv gave us a lot for his lore in this version, im just kinda hoping that he will come with us in the next years lantern rite, thats gonna be awesome LOL
@@ckscrim266 what they mean is a story quest that focuses on xiao
Like zhongli had 2
Xiao has more to be explored like the life before he was a yaksha which is a dark one
hopefully the second part will be more interesting lmao-
@@ckscrim266 idk, he still has that whole "slave forced to kill and eat dreams" trauma going on so i think its definitely possible to get an act 2.
One of the best cutscenese I've seen, As a lore fanatic the genshin Lore has pleased me so much. This one hit hard, but I'm glad how it ended. Honestly I'm still shocked

Mihoyo who? That's Hoyoverse

I love how in 3:37 every yaksha's image gets shattered except for xiao referencing he is the only remaining yaksha
Gotta love the small details, this cutscene was truly breathtaking
Which is so sad, because the remaining 4 yakshas died
wait. so who's the yaksha that zhiqiong is looking for then?
@@kuramazov idk Bosasicous maybe
@@kuramazov I’m not exactly sure about what you’re talking about, but if you meant “the nameless yaksha”, it would indeed be Bosacius, because the nameless yaksha held down the front line and later it was confirmed that Bosacius was the one who did it. He was too insane I guess, to call out his name, so they referred to him as the nameless yaksha.
Also notice how the edges of Xiao’s shard is broken off, maybe symbolizing how he was beginning to lose himself as well before traveler came along.
This interlude chapter just hit me like a truck. I’ve never really cried watching sad endings or stories but this chapter…I could not stop crying. I feel lucky to experience this quest first hand
me too!! , ik new players will get this archon quest in the future, but this quest will forever live in my heart cuz it happened around my exams n stuff n the memories will always be here with me. No lie, this will be so nostalgic in a year. Or even a few months.
Remember, all quests except Inazuma Archon Quest are written so good. It's just so inconsistent how high if a quality this interlude is.
Can’t wait to see how the entire chapter goes!
What?! This made you cry?! You really haven't seen real sad stories.
@@Disorder2312 I know the story wasn't that emotional but think about it, the yakshas killed each other and one of them went insane. Remember they were once a happy family
This made me cry :((
The fact that they drew on Xiaos face was the highlight of my day
This made me cry too. Like the first thing remembers last was the family that he loves, killing each other, crying out in fear, and suffering all alone as his world falls apart.
But then he remembers all the good times too….and the music was on point with each scene…
No one talking about how Boyang’s fate was also very tragic
Finally I'm not alone. After watching the cutscene a couple of times and reaction videos along with it, it happens to me that it's Boyang's destiny hits the feeling most. He has the every aspect of a good human being can have. He was decisive to send Rongzhao back to ground, leaving himself down there. He was scared that Bosacius might regret and break the seal at the end and ruin all of their efforts and sacrifice. He was jealous that only Rongzhao gets to go back to the family. He was selfish that part of him doesn't want Bosacius to die before him coz he doesn't want to be all by himself in the darkest place. His sacrifice might not be as ultimate as Bosacius', but it's million's ordinary people's sacrifice like his make everything possible.
@@haochenzhang6210 the part we're he talks about seeing his family and also how he wishes he could see them. You can tell he was trying to act tough but realized what's the point they are both stucj
@@haochenzhang6210 Imagine being one of the only two who still survive but the other has gone mad. Then even the mad one left you alone in the dark cave
my man just want to go home and met his family for the last time. But now he's alone, on that dark cave dying without people knowing the truth
I like to think bosacias offered boyang to be given a quick painless death if he wanted it, so they can go out together and not alone
Boyang has one of the most horrifying deaths in the game so far. Stuck in a deep underground chasm sounds scary enough but then your only partner perishes and u r just LEFT ALL ALONE in that dark scary underground with dark magic trying to make you go insane?
"Please dont die before me."
That signified not just that he was worried for the Yaksha but also because he was so scared that he will be left all alone down there. 🥺
RIP Bro-Yang.
In that sense, I think Katarina (the Fatui electro cicin mage) kinda died the same way, losing her brother, getting stuck in a deep dark hopeless place, and (probably) got killed too by a Khanriea knight.
3:04 this part, guys.. THIS PART.. hit me right where it hurts. The music fits the scene perfectly it just adds flavor to the sad and dramatic depiction of how the yakshas dealt with their karmic sufferings. That's beautiful, one of the best cutscenes genshin has ever made for sure.
i was playing that part on loop glad it wasn't just me who loved that part
ua-cam.com/video/mMmSP4YzTCw/v-deo.html ngf
The part where they screamed, it's like you can actually feel the pain

“It’s just you and me-Don’t die before me!”
“Alatus, is that you?”

@@kyle_012 how do u know lol
remember that stone we saw with his writing
@@tueonzz everyone trapped in that cave were stripped their life energy slowly...even xiao can't hold for 3 days.. bocasius is stronger but what made you think he survive more than 500 years in that chaotic space
Love that scene in the end, where Bosacius says he'd make the ultimate sacrifice, end the music swells, but then stops to silence as the camera pans to aboveground, as if nothing would have happened at all and nobody would know about it, and nothing did happen and nobody knows about it cuz he sacrificed himself to protect the peace that is happening aboveground and am crying, this was one of the best quests ever!
The fact that he's lost his sanity but: Defended Liyue, Distracted the monsters from Khaenri'ah, sacrificed himself to seal a forbidden place is so admirable I loved the story just because of him really
Haven’t seen anyone mention this but I like the detail at 3:50 where it transitions from Bosacius’s declaration accompanied by drumbeats to the silence amidst Liyue’s mountaintops. Despite remembering his name, tragically, he is largely forgotten by the people he swore to protect.
Exactly this is a huge part of sacrifice, that's what that scene means. Also we saw this motive in Yaksha stories already, like Pervases. Only recenlty by strange chain of events former crook took care of his shrine.
Now that I read your comment, I feel my heart tighten even more when I recall Xiao telling us travelers, right before this cutscene started, "it's good that one more person will remember him". I already feel bad that everything that happened in the Chasm must remain a secret, because I wished that Bosacius' sacrifice will be known and told by story tellers of Liyue, just like they did for Rex Lapis' story. So thinking that for the last Yaksha, just "one more person" is enough to know Bosacius' heroic last moments, it saddens me. This quest hit deep in the feels
ua-cam.com/video/31t4DGbhjFk/v-deo.html
Also, upon realization, some of the darkness/karma on him was cleared and was sane.
This quest is soo sad, as well as heart warming. It's painfull to see family getting separated, yet thanks atleast we get to know what actually happened to them! We all felt xiao's feelings, when he said "From this day, Heroes will always look out for each other ". I mean genshin is truly such a fabulous game, it's just more than a game, may be a part of our life! Thanks!🦋
о да!
I hope you know hi3 story and lore
Bruh, the game’s already a part of my life.
Not gonna lie. It was great seeing the 5 Yaksha.
Now leave me alone to cry for an hour from feels. 😭
Anime is a brain burner!(Правдивое видео):ua-cam.com/video/GWrCRNMro8A/v-deo.html
BOTS ARE KINDA OFFENSIVE IN THIS SECTION,
but they probably dont have emotions enough to understand this
dam got depress like shorty💀
I also crying a hero that no one know the name.
Only for short moments 💔 Only two left…
The Yaksha's past is probably the most saddening one I've seen other than Zhongli's. I mean, imagine seeing your century old families going crazy and even killing each other.
I'm not saying the other character's backstory ain't sad, but I mean, as someone with a loving family, I can't imagine the pain you would feel from your own family members turning on each other like what the Hydro and Geo yaksha did, or even seeing a family become crazy due to their own duties.
i know that part was so sad
in that same bane I find Scaramouche’s past as sad - to come home to your family members dead must’ve been awful. Like the yakshas those are the stories that make me the saddest also.
*cough* Ei and Chiyo *cough*
Genshin's lore is full of sad stuff but Liyue's lore just has a very special place in my heart.
Genshin's more unpopular sad lores are found in world quests though. Like Ruu's story, etc.
This story specially the thought of being alone 2 survivors underground knowing the fate that day will die soon gives me chills also the last part almost made me tear up
THIS CUTSCENE IS GOING TO MAKE ME CRY, THE YAKSHAS WERE SO CLOSE BUT THEY HAD TO COME TO A TRAGIC END, BOSACIUS SAYUNG THAT HE MUST SACRIFICE HIMSELF IS TRULY HEART-WRENCHING

@@Sseptember yeah... the english dub imo sounds so forced. cn dub is very natural, and jp dub kinda lacking in emotion but still good. haven't watched korean dub yet so I have nothing to say about that. kinda sad cn dub doesn't get as much recognition as jp dub and eng dub, this is just my opinion, but cn dub is much much better in conveying emotions. still, it depends on what dub you prefer.
@@Sseptember yes, someone who gets it!! it's also the case with kiana (hoyoverse other game hi3 if u know her), the everlasting flames animated short. in the cn dub, you can feel the desperation in her voice near the end where she screams while in the jp dub, she just does the generic anime screaming and it doesn't get the feelings across. I guess it all comes down with how anime and other jp entertainment has become so popular that this type of voice acting has become the standard for VAs and other studios.
and I'm not saying that jp dub is bad, I'm just saying the voice acting they do is so reused within jp entertainment especially with the screams. it's like, the same scream from different characters with different situations and emotions then they just give them the "generic screaming anime style".
@@Sseptember that's why I don't want to use JP dub anymore. The game is turned into "anime vibe" and I'm done with that
In Chinese, it is called 回光返照（Terminal lucidity）, Bosacious remembered his family before dying, which made me cry.
bosacious didnt die, his death isnt mentioned anywhere, no one knows what happened to him , maybe he might still be alive, trapped in the depths of chasm
@@mega5110 he's confirmed dead. thats the entire point of the archon quest. loss and memories.

@MEGA it doesnt have to be, its very obvious for anyone with half a brain.
This was so heartbreaking to watch, seeing them be so happy and wholesome with each other and knowing what happened to them. Good job Hoyo, I cried after I saw this. The art is really beautiful too.
BOO GO GET A JOB
@@chenelvis5663 go get a mom
When Xiao was talking about the yakshas near the end of the quest, you could tell how much of a family they mean to him;
Especially Bosacius because Xiao couldn't move on from not knowing what truly happened to him until the Chasm incident
Man, I feel devastated
How does Mihoyo expect me to go back to normal after this quest. Like wth, I'm supposed to go freaking kill some slimes after witnessing such an emotional scene? Help, I'm stuck in the tragic backstory limbo, first Dainsleif's quest and now this? it's getting harder and harder to get out each time
THIS! I planned to farm materials after the quest but now I just want to stay and stand with xiao, I'm not leaving him T_T
my heart still hurts :(
Welcome to Hoyo yall.
Hoyo : *this isn't even my final form*
honkai impact players: first time?
Despite all the sad notes in this story, it's nice to see that Bosacius remembered his name, and perhaps even his sanity, at the end of it all.
he legit got dementia, many people recover theirs memories and sanity at the very end

Which quest is it?
Wasnt expecting to cry like i couldnt hold back my tears!
Me too!!
LITERALLY I WAS SO SADDDDD
Yaksha are warriors who are always at the forefront of the battlefield, never afraid to face any enemy that comes their way and always prioritize the safety of others even though their lives are at stake. that's what I mean by irreplaceable kindness to continue to protect others.

THERE ARE BOTS IN THE COMMENTS WHAT THE FU-💀💀💀💀
@@hapervfx4092 there's more down somewhere in the comments, there's too many to report. It's like a zombie apocalypse over here
In mythology, yaksha is a race only know about fighting and only can reach the meaning of living in fighting🤔
I really feel for Boyang here. He's just a human like any of us. He doesn't have the stunning strength or longevity of the Yaksha. He only has his distinctly human courage. A small mote of strength compared the heroes in stories... But enough to leave his family behind to do what needs to be done.
in the end... he is scared. Like anyone would be in that scenario.
And unlike the adepti, and the yaksha whose storied will be told for all time... In only a few years, no one will remember the man who was Boyang.
The tragedy that is the human condition doesn't prevent people from being good. That is really inspiring, in a way.
the fact that Xiao's glass didnt shatter is upsetting, making you remember that Xiao and Bosacius were still alive until now, leaving Bosacius as nothing but just an image and officially leaving Xiao as the lone one
I wished we could have him as a playable character, the story was well written and moving.
To bad he wasnt Probably he dead the only left on the chasm was a only mere illusion of space pass from 500 years ago the attack of khaneriah to liyue on frontline on chasm
When I first watched the Yaksha trailer. I really wished the one who "went mad" and "succumbed to darkness" would become playable like Xiao... 😭
@@magganodureily9243 I'm coping that the hydro one is still around because in both trailers, they didn't necessarily show her die. It's either fighting the geo one and now its her killing the geo one
@@oneofthekindscarf8612 if you read carefully in the end Xiao states that he knew the other three was dead for sure since he saw their bodies, only Bosacius' existence remained a mystery until now
@@frozenflava couldn't even let a guy cope
I don’t really cry in Genshin moments like this, but this moved me to tears. Especially the scene before where Xiao almost sacrificed himself for us but is saved by Zhongli like… thats is so good.
I wish we have the Yakshas, but tbh I’d give them peace more than anything.
These bots really have to stop😩
Omg ikr I was so hyped up when Zhongli saved Xiao like it was so cool
And also more peace for our credit cards
I also cried at that scene TvT so beautiful....
Not me having Himeko (Honkai) flashbacks when Xiao sacrificed himself, thinking that they legitimately were going to "kill" him
the way xiao and zhongli talked about them, i thought they all had a much colder relationship. like co workers, or special ops team. but they were like siblings…which is infinitely more heart wrenching
Earth yaksha being the wise and stern oldest brother
Electro yaksha being the brute and childish middle brother
Fire and Water yaksha being the cheerleader and cute sisters that laugh at every single family events
And Wind Yaksha being the youngest brother that's way too shy and silent and keep getting picked on by the siblings.
@@gdgetsceb4115 Bosacius (Electro Yaksha) is the eldest though and essentially their leader
Mihoyo: you see the Yakshas?
Travellers: yea.
Mihoyo: you like their designs and stories?
Travellers: yeah!
Mihoyo: "SURPRISE!" THEY ARE ALL DEAD!
Literally
Yea why 😭
xiao and another of the 5 are still alive
xiao accepts and just chill at the inn and protecting liyue's backlines while the other one is/was missing
the rest are sadly brown bread
and will probably never be playable!
@@platelet5942 update your game and play before comment
idk but I feel like of all characters, liyue's (especially Rex lapis & the rest of the adepti) are the best written ones. their struggle to understand human values as superior beings, their tragic backstories, their profound loyalty and care for each other, their relationships with each other and strong sense of duty makes me love liyue the most out of all the regions we've known so far.
I'm so happy mi/hoyoverse decided to give the adepti a chance to shine all over again. the stories of the gods (& alike) of each region are just... on another level. I hope we'll get more content like this
I'm honestly not surprised that the Chinese representatives are best written and most cared for because it's a Chinese game.
@@freyafrettchen3808 I think they're all pretty well written for all nations with each nation's higher beings having their own struggles. You can tell they put a lot into studying other nations and trying to implement their real-world culture into them. I thought Mondstadt and Inazuma's struggles are pretty accurate to their culture. Although I think we can all agree that Inazuma's storyline could be expanded on a bit more with better details in putting the stories together =.=
@@freyafrettchen3808 The liyue bias is real lol. When was the last time we actually got a mondstat character like, Eula who's had 2 banners already?
Mondstadt's characters are also well written, even the 4 stars, and they have a future story they haven't finished telling their story yet. The only useless characters in history are those of Inazuma, (Kazuha and Scaramouche are the only exception, they are the only ones with future stories) I hope this does not repeat itself in Sumeru and they give us many interesting characters with future history.

@@SkyBreaker321 yes, a bot and spam comment
FRR THERE DESIGNS ARE SO PRETTTTTYY
Fr hoyoverse could make so much money if they released the remaining yaksha as playable characters
This patch hits hard NGL, the yasha's and adepti has so much good lore. also now I really appreciate zhongli more than ever. he has everything the material might, intelligence and even when he said he's retired, he's still there looking out for liyue from any potential threat best archon IMO.
Agreed also don't forget zhongli's magical capabilities. I always find it ironic how the geo archon has so much telepathic powers. In game combat he doesn't even touch his spear for most of his NA combo. it just floats in air and attacks also in the lastest event he didn't even need to appear in front of xiao to save him he did it from afar without even letting yelan and the others know.
@@mr.baburao1884 I think people buy into the 'broke old man' joke enough that they temporarily forget that even before being the Geo Archon, Zhongli was the Adeptus Prime, the leader of all of Liyue's mythological and legendary beings.
Even before gaining whatever the gnosis, he was unchallenged among Liyue's adepti for over 4000 years. All that mysterious magical stuff the adepti do? He probably knows all of it.
Seeing as he single-handedly defeated Osial, whereas it took the combined power of all the other classical adepti, Ningguang's resources and the Traveler to reseal him from a weakened state, I'd say the other adepti have some ways to go.
@@LoncusZhao faxxx
@@mr.baburao1884 I find his magical capabilities common since it's because he is a adepti, we know adepti are a race with talking animals and mythological creatures that can make even alternative realities with adepti arts. while morax was the prime adeptus and strongest of them all. He probably mastered all of those, I mean his adeptus form is a floating dragon... So him pulling xiao out of that was barely nothing, even if he doesn't have his gnosis he is still a very strong god since he was a god even before getting a gnosis. even ei find it worthless and gave it to yae miko since she was one of the twin gods even before getting a gnosis.
@@LoncusZhao Zhongli is indeed powerful, about Osial tho... I'm pretty sure it's been stated that Zhongli needed the help of 2 other gods against him, correct me if I'm wrong.
3:20 “my brothers and sisters have come for me, Boyang.”
EMOTIONAL DAMAGE
Ah yes
The first genshin cutscene that for some reason made me burst into tears
It was a great representation of the 5 Yakshas being just like a family and acting as such instead of the tough vibes we get from xiao

and the elements of our characters in this quest align with those of the yakshas'.. Is it a coincidence?
@@skipclassfordota3361 definitely not
Turns out xiao is the black sheep
Yes really changes my view of the Yakshas
This whole story is just… devastating. I was and still am in literal tears.
It's sad how the first memory he recovers was his family killing each other, falling apart, and suffering alone.
@Marko Polo lol image playing role playing game without any interest of the story and skip it. This man is so miserable lmao
@Marko Polo lol Genshin has great exploring and adventure experience. Battles is more light core but still fun to play. Cry more, you’re the only minority. No one care about your opinion here. Oh btw if you just don’t like what Genshin presents to you, why not just quit the game for your own sake? Clearly you’re playing it without any fun time. So guess who is miserable here? 😂 😆 Some people just so pathetic and weird.
@Marko Polo you're playing a 'story' based open world rpg game. there's heavy stories everywhere in it, if you want to play a game with no stories then go for them.
@Marko Polo rofl proceeding to skip every dialogue then announce the stories are all weak. And most importantly posting a negative comment on a comment which is really positive towards the story. Are you that eager to express such unpopular opposite opinion to show off your great taste? Do you not have friends? 😆
What’s really sad was that the Yaksha’s finally went insane and killed each other. The scariest part is when they regain that tiny bit of consciousness… realizing what they did… maybe that’s what truly pushed them past the brink of madness. Former friends killing each other, when all they did was want to return to the old times. The price for protecting, is losing everything they have. It really makes you think if it was worth it. I felt really sorry for Xiao. He lost his brothers and was always looking, always having hope for Bosacious, to end up fighting him and seeing him so as well… I don’t know if he’s going to be ok. And remember, these were people who were friends for millennias, friendship that lasted serveral lifetimes more than ours, I can’t even imagine the pain that they go through. Xiao truly has no one left beside him, that is why I believe, even when faced with death, he only has relief and acceptance, many some regret of what ifs of the past. After all, his older brothers and sisters already left, what is it that he leaves too…
And now zhongli's famous line hits even harder😭 I cant- I feel so sad for the yaksha I teared up so many times, this game is so special 😭😭😭
What famous line?

Xiao's role in the archon quest is to be the sacrifice but unbeknownst to him that he has family, he always had family
He had big daddy Zhongli.
Dom toretto is happy
At least he is the sole survivor between the Yakshas.
**Spoiler Alert**
Don't read if you intend to finish the story quest 1st.
I was mere crying for daddy when the hole was closing and telling Xiao to wait for his daddy that is coming to him. He is not yet doing big sacrifice yet. He just fulfil the promise and truth behind the chasm only. He should at least threw some "make up" before "show up" in the death list...🤧😅
This quest was absolutely legendary. The feeling of helplessness when trapped, the dread of the sacrifices some beloved characters were ready to do, the amazing story, the beautifully animated scenes. Absolute masterpiece, I am so hyped for what is yet to come!!

Lamo same. But I had to meet up with the homies right after and I for sure didn't want them see me crying.
When the other Yakshas called out his name that really did it for me. Just as heavy as the Dainsleif quest but somehow this one had a much more feel of a 'ray of hope'. Brilliant cutscene
Man the chills i got when the scene of the Yaksha's suffering from their Karma....Up until now no cutscene gave those feeling. Plus i like the buildup of the cutscene from Boyang and Bosacius
Plus the theory that pyro yaksha is the one shown in divine damsel of devastation (shenhe's quest). That's really interesting too.

I rarely press the like button or comment, but Hoyoverse has really outdone themselves with this one. Such a touching and amazing story with the "show, don't tell". Thank you Hoyoverse!
Couldn't agree more, I'm so glad they didn't do what they usually do and just make a character info dump you about everything you need to know about something/someone. Yanfei and Paimon were still kinda doing that, but for the most part it was shown through actual scenes. I think these were the longest cutscenes in the game. (It was painful repeating the scenes when my internet broke off.🥲)
Plus the awesome domain levels made me really love this quest.

The scene where Bosacius was messing with Xiao while he was asleep is my favourite, it's so heart warming.
I can't get over this quest, it's literally a master piece ❤️✨.
there are so many musical similarities between this event's cutscenes and last year's yaksha cutscene and xiao's demo hoyo ur crazy good with this
Just from this clip, I can tell Bosacius is a gentle, yet mighty soul. Like a big brother to his fellow Yaksha. I hope they storyline will allow the rest of the Yaksha to be explored as well
Imagine a gamemode where you get to explore the stories of characters that have already passed (like Tomo, Sasayuri, Chiyo, Saiguu and the Yakshas) that would be awesome

This entire quest almost made me cry. I was so scared something was going to happen to Xiao. Then, it saddened me even more when this scene came up. All the Yakshas had each other’s back. A true family, torn apart 😭😭😭
It is such a beautiful and sad cutscene. I'm so glad we got to know more about the Yaksha, I've been waiting for this moment since forever.
