[3.6] Genshin Impact v3.6 Recap and Analysis - Nahida Story Quest 2 and the Pari

*NOTES/ANNOTATIONS*

- I said "Nahida sealed Deshret" when I meant "Rukkhadevata sealed Deshret." Slip of the tongue.

I just ended khvarena of good and evil 😭 it took me a lot, a have theories and I still haven't arrived in fontaine
Your analysis was nice. Those fungi said that apep was greener and the desert area was also a rainforest like the other part of sumeru before the arrival of phanes, so that means there was still nature with the vishaps

What’s up with the “apep might be one of the seven sovereigns” it basically confirms it on the genshin wiki?

@Ashikai Question: or more like a what if... so! what if that mural is more like a banner. You see, we can see the triskel, and something like the omni symbol. But the triskel will look the same if we flip the image vertical ... but the omni... ahhh, now we see it like we are used to in the game!
In the original image, was looking at the figure above the omni symbol, because it looked like the mouth of some demon or something, then I remember that demons sometimes have message in reverse. Now flipping the image, the sphere above reminds me a lot to the big Khaenri'ah robots.
Maybe I'm chasing shadows here... My imagination is going wild, like what if those are not representing the 4 shadows, but eyes, like the vishaps, and that thing is the sinner? the six eyes-like thing doesn't make sense... unless it represent gods and there is Demiurge and blah, blah... Anyway, is there something you can make sense if that image is flipped vertical ?

I absolutely LOVE your VO work. You are SO freaking talented!

OMG please make a video going down the honkai / Genshin rabbit hole I would watch the heck out of that!!

and Liloupar likes the Traveller because he physically looks like Deshret possibly. And Kaveh does looks like he could be siblings with the Traveller.

Honestly hated the Khvarena quest from a game perspective - didn’t like the Pari model/gameplay, didn’t like the environment, didn’t like the snarky sage guy. All around terrible characters. So thank you for summarizing the lore because I’ll probably never do this quest line.

I’m gonna need someone to explain the “honkai hole” to me

Perhaps the moon sisters were the original watchers of teyvat and after their death Celestia started the Archon War to find new guardians of the land.

Almost nothing from the pari quests were recapped here. You just kept drawing parallels with genshin and other literature. What about all of the Khaenri’ahn tech, the skeptics…

I am ALL IN for making Zhongli even more OP. He's the dragon king?...well I'll help him become one lol😂

These videos from this creator makes no sense at all.

Funny how red and green are colors who directly oppose each other in the color wheel

Watching this back - can we argue that the Ancient Dragon for Liyue is actually Morax? Given the "form" he had on the "death", whereas Azhdaha isn't really an "Ancient Dragon"

Can someone update the subtitles pleez

In archaic english "worm" was word for "dragon".

Probably not a new idea, but this is my first time really looking at the Domain mural.

Top to bottom:
Primordial one and shades
Throne of Celestia
Omni-element symbol split between the 7 archons
Mortal life of the land
The seas
And the abyss.

I had to go back and rewatch this after finishing the Khvarena of Good and Evil quest just to make head or tail of the "BIRD" again, I wasn't following in the quest where it was born from just that the Pari was born from it. I was suffering from "Aranara overload" again. lol

At the End of this quest with the giant lotus Gaokerena that is generating the green dendro energy to repel the abyss "Apaosha". There's an interesting detail of what energy you are collecting to clean the sign of Apaosha. The giant lotus Gaokerena holds Hydro energy and the 6 energy you collect from the Spenta Hearts are the other 6 elemental energy of Geo, Cyro, Dendro, Electro, Anemo, and Pyro.

I have a theory that Light or "imaginary" energy that repeals the abyss darkness "Quantum" can be shattered into the 7 elemental energies of Teyvat. Having it literally illustrated in this world quest by combining all 7 elements creates Light energies to dispel/neutralize the Darkness was freaking cool.

i love listening to your videos because it feels like a friend ranting about their hyperfixation <3

idc whos the deshret allegory at this point as long as its anyone but alhaitham

Wait, if Clothar created the abyss, then he was responsible for the cataclysm technically? The monsters that were going and attacking other nations were monsters from the abyss, which he created. I just don't understand how abyssal monsters were coming up if the abyss was created after the cataclysm?

i love you!!! and your content!!!!! thank you so much for these theyre so so great im sure it all takes so much time and i hope you're resting and putting yourself first always <3

Straight up never noticed \ missed Madam Ping in the cutscene on the Jade Palace to fight Osial 😭 ive seen that cutscene idk how many times now, esp because it gets used in videos a lot, and just NEVER noticed she was there 😅

About the songs and their summoning aspect, it really reminds me of Tolkien's Middle Earth world, who was apparently created using the power of music. And didn't he take a lot of inspiration from germanic/norse folklore? (Like maybe idk, the legend of the Nibelung...)

So I have a thought that what if all this myth is just to explain a group of people who were colonizing a planet and came to take it over using terraforming methods via the nails? Like the systems all feel hyper advanced in ways this world doesn't seem to always display, with Irminsul almost feeling like the version we see with the Wanderer being a database formed to look like a tree. So what if King Irmin was the original admin who had control over it and possibly was removed from the system when he did something he wasn't supposed too? One could almost see the Hexenzirkel as hackers trying to break into files they aren't meant to see. It could also mean that the second who came were possibly a group that were less inclined to follow the first colonizing groups methods and perhaps took a much stricter attitude too it. Not sure if it makes any sense but the idea keeps lingering when I listen to stuff about the lore.

The fact that during it is shown that allegory can survive irminsul's erasure, and Venti knows ALL THE SONG & POEM THAT HAS AND WILL EVER EXIST

So Deshret is The Sinner. That actually really makes sense since he's seemingly still alive. 😮

Wait did that create the land or recreate it after breaking it during a fight with dragons

Multiple characters can be multiple allegories.

For one, Zhongli, Ganyu, and Xiao can be interpreted as allegories to various incarnations of the different aspects of Fu Hua (isolated person, detective - Valkyrie Accipiter/Hawk of the Fog/Ganyu), wise and can be a ruthless leader - Phoenix/Azure Empyrea/Zhongli, sole survivor of their respective groups - Shadow Knight/Xiao), yeah and the Liyue Pyro characters all inherited her flat-chestedness kek.

Mobius (best girl) shards can be seen in Sucrose (freaky scientist), Baizhu (might as well be her son with Su of all people), and Dottore with Kalpass (even Elysia was joking about an affair). Hoping Rhinedottir is her 'proper expy' or an Eden mix.

I have to wonder if The Withering Zones not being deleted with the deletion of Forbidden Knowledge is them covering their ass for people who haven't cleansed all of them during exploration but have completed the Archon Quest. Which is good for gameplay-story integration but its really messy lore-wise.

I love the growing similarities between genshin and lord of the rings

“Scaramouche come back and reconcile these Damn stars” fucking took me out😂😂😂😂😂

If paimon was the primordial one, that would explains nahidas socks that have the celestia design motif

Kaveh and Alhaitham can be both the representation of King Deshret (or maybe somewhat descendants of a kind lol)

i just want to say that Amrita is actually a sanskrit word derived from the hindu mythology which means "the drink of the gods that bestows immortality".

Wait Deshret wanted to separate body and soul.....something Ei successfully has done and now exists merely as her soul which possesses the Shogun robot.

Anyone else wondering why Desret had to go to such extremes?

…but what about Apep not mentioning the Second who came?

I like how there's a random Moosashi reference in the Rapidfire Roundup xD "High res from Moosashi"

It’s weird that people think that the one who representing king deshret will be a character from the forest not the desert

Thanks there's a people like you who dedicated themselves just to summarize all current available quest in Genshin. So dialogue skippers like me can now understand the whole story of the side quests that will may be a very important part of the main quest

The idea that Zhongli is a Nahida-esque incarnation of Nibelung and Venti is a Pari-esque remnant of Istaroth is pretty funny if you think about it. In their original forms, they were enemies, but as Archons they became close friends along with the rest of The Seven.

BOI IT ALWAYS COMES BACK TO OTTO!!!

Ooooh no. Not Otto again. The moment you mention that guy I got PTSD. I actually hate that guy and hate that at the same time I respect him for his brains regal demeanor. I just recently beat him when he goes False God, something that took me like three tries. Man I really can’t escape him, can I.

Also, suuper ominous, that door to Khaenri’ah. Can’t believe we got that close to it. I mean on approach I kinda expected something to happen but was even more anxious when nothing did. This stuff goes hard, not gonna lie.

I like how you referred to Babel as “the busty matriarch”, heh.

😭😭 stop trying to make me gaf abt kaveh i dun have him okay and im ALRIGHT W THAT too many dendro mains in my roster with tigh and alhaitham my babygirls ❤❤

The archons are artificial lifeforms that Primordial one made through cloning and he probably re-created humanity. Meaning he probably came from earth cause of natural disaster happened and humanity was wiped out.

And he came to Teyat to re-create humanity, like an ark meaning Celestia is an ancient ship that came from earth to terraform a different planet because something happen to earth, I guess.
