Uncovering The Secrets of Tsurumi Island (Genshin Impact Lore)

I only wish rest of Genshin's storytelling and plot is engaging and intriguing as this quest chain...

Big tnx for making this lore vids, sometimes, I'm just not in the mood to read and feel the story to get those primos.

damn you are so underrated man I love your presentation of this quest. I love the story it make me mad and sad at the same time

I did not pay attention when doing this quest and skip all the story but i remember mist of the scene vididly, and complained how hard this quest is turned out this story is really good yet very dark omg i did not even realised they are a ghost, poor ru :( i hope his grnadfather rot in hell

the witcher 3 OSTs fit so good with this! keep up the lore stuff man, you are doing all of us a service

Hoyoverse should remake this quest with voice acting and cut scenes as suggested in this video, because this is a long quest with a lot of information, and very good story!

I love how Kazuha is voicing these. lol

When I first set foot on that island, I felt almost entirely alone and cold. Even tho I was literally sitting next to our fireplace in my home, i couldn't shake the feeling that I was cold.

So there God was one of the four winds that protected mondstad

I had to watch this because tbh, I just wanted access to Tsurumi island and read zero dialogue. Anyone else wish quests as long as these (such as Tsurumi Island and the Chasm) need some voice acting? Cause my eyes hurt man…

tsurumi is creepiest place for me (still yet unlocked enkanomiya)
weirdly I enjoy my time farming weed and specter in seirai and even it's dark at least there are human in chasm
but tsurumi is just creepy I don't like it (aside from the story)

That’s so cool the connection between Ainu and the tatsurumi island

I love your theories

Exploring dragonspine gave me the need to constantly find heat, so that I don't die.....but oh boy...when I went in Tsurumi, as I pass through the gate, I constantly remained terrified as to when those nasty wolves are gonna come and inflict corrosion....😰

Ruu's world quest is the one I'll never ever forget and the best in my opinion. It got everything! Lore and emotional damage 😭 if you've included a clip of him singing I would've cried again 😭

I love your videos pls make more of this if u can

Now thats a souls level questline

i thought that kazuha had a voice line about tsurumi so you used it at the start, but i got real confused when it kept going

I love ur work!! Also did Ei slay Kanna Kapatcir (thunderbird) in the sky above serai.. It would make sense due to how the sky looks 🤔

Am I the only one who notices the Witcher 3’s OST?

i love tsurumi.

I am a relatively new player (started playing after a year of the game's release) and it always pisses me off that literally every piece of lore in Inazuma like Tsurumi or Enkanomiya is great except for the archon quest. I hate the Archon quest writing.

I had a feeling this was what was happening there when I started that quest a month ago. Now, I only have this island and Enkan to 100% for Inazuma, and I'm excited for all the lore that will explode like a ruin guard's missiles in my face. I will have to finish the rest of the quest, which will be something considering I have not at all returned to Tsurumi in seeming ages. I don't recall where I left off, but will gladly immerse.

I have a feeling we will be going back here for many reasons. One is that with the fog lifted, the tri comm of inazuma will send adventurers to explore the place as a possible expansion and resources, possibly watatsumi will join. Second ei might want to explore the place and find the reason why the thunderbird wants the place hidden. Third so that we can understand what that ruined civilization is all about

Thanks for all the work you put into these, I really love listening to genshin lore. And you have a smooth voice to tell stories !

this video is gold

Hey! My culture has a instrument like the maushuro too.

The production quality of these videos is insane. Here's a sub!

I was bout to loose my sh when I logged on and saw that there was more stuff to do😭

HoyoVerse should have you as their legit documentarian for EN viewers. We literally need this other than figuring the story through the game

The tragic irony of cutting the tongue off a child's whose song was the only thing that truly appeased and interested a cold deity... Poor Ruu. He deserved better. After learning how awfully he died, I became a Thunderbird apologist. I hope Ruu's dumbass dad suffered as much as he did while stuck in that freaky time loop. I wouldn't even sacrifice an animal, I don't know how hard is the brain rot of a guy who thought bleeding out his own kid was a good idea.

This is the one video that cleared up the entire timeline perfectly for me. Thank you so much <3

it is more that celestial had been overtaken by unknown GOD and destroy those civilizations

The island is interesting, BUT I didn’t read anything , bc if it’s not voiced, I DONT CARE,

Can u do the pharmacist who asks naku weed everyday? 💗

Your voice is really soothing and your narrating is super clear! I subscribed immediately!

At first, I thought that Kazuha´s VA was narrating this ....

good job in summarizing the lore

the story of this quest is amazing, but the quest themselves are boring chores.

this actually seems like foreshadowing to the before sun and moon book

primordial one - the stars that the tribe once worshipped before the pillar fell and fog appeared
thunderbird - celestia?
the tribe - the humans that the primordial one created

the question is who is ruu in the story of the book

is it possible that the phrase "heaven is no longer alive" is because they can no longer see celestia in inazuma bec of what Makoto did?

What a fantastic video. I really wish I payed more attention back in 2.2 because after understanding the lord this is one of my favourite stories in the game. Amazing job explaining all of this

And yes, my phone and pc injoys the lowest graphics yes its sad fk.

Ruu’s story is still my favorit from this game

The fact that the time reverses there cuz they're doing the sacrifice wrong meaning that Ruu died many more times than we imagined :<

It's fascinating that a game like genshin has so much understanding about the creation and consequences of a religion. Not any of the big 3 religions ofc they're the real ones.

Your videos are so good

Man I just wanted those blue mushrooms to ascend Thoma but I had to go through all these depressing stories and confusion and heartbreaks and more depression before I could even do that. It is indeed a beautiful story, I know Genshin lores never disappoint but man ever since I finished the quest, I never go back to that island and now you’re saying there are ghosts there after the quest? Hell nah….

i absolutely enjoyed this video, the narration, the transitions, loved it all, please keep it up!
