[4.2] Archon + Patch Recap and Analysis - Genshin Impact Lore & Theories

did you know that alaine guillotine can be seen in neuvillette's story quest cutsene with seymour

With regards to Sandrone. I find it iteresting that if Sandrone is indeed Alain Guillotin then it would nicely tie into the end of the questioning melusine quest. Cause I was wondering why would Sandrone be so friendly to us when we literally never met.
But imagine this: If Sandrone is Alain, then we basically:
-Saved his nation from destruction
-Beat his childhood friends turned rivals turned enemies turned indirect murderers of his sister
-Gave a happy end to his sister's memories fused with Lyris

This would be more than enough to indebt Sandrone to us and cut out the guy's tongue once She learned that he tried to kill us...

i think Curve is a Pinocchio reference. Pinocchio is trying to become a "real boy" while Curve is trying to become a "real" human. To achieve their goals Pinocchio must learn to be honest and always tell the truth, which Curve must learn to lie and know when lieing can be used for something good. It does make sense, in that way, at least to me.

Taking off from Ashikai's point that Natlan is about cohabitation with other species, what if the main mechanic of Natlan characters / vision holders are familiars (similar to Pokemon or smth -- like characters with dragon pets, or even dragon mounts, etc), since Sumeru was all about elem reactions, and Fontaine was about Pneuma/Ousia and HP inc/decrease?

I just want to say that I am pretty sure those little dragon spermies were surrounding the heart of Elynas before the quest as well.

ilove just listening to you explore the smaller quests.
ihope you can explore more on alain rene jakod and maryanne. coz i just did thequest and did not read much lol

When I first heard Neuvillette discuss the vishaps evolving and coexisting with humanity, I theorized/thought that it was another instance of what happened in Enkanomiya with their vishap people.

So it feels to me we keep on seeing these failed attempts in saving the world, only for us to waddle in and accidentally solving, or witnessing it being solved. This also happened in Inezuma with the whole Kokomi arc being useless, and here with the kreuz dude (I cannot spell his name). I also don't really like how fast he just gave up on his mission. But I did love all the lore and quests of fontane

the bit at the end about Kaeya using DRUGS as a secret ingredient is crazy 😂😂

Kaeya on his way to wipe out the people of Fontaine one chicken mushroom skewer at a time.

Hmm, Rhinedottir making her own star beasts? Elynas telling us he was adrift in the void before being pulled into this world by Rhinedottir and his blood cells being alien lifeforms seems to add legitimacy to Rhinedottir pulling creatures out of "space" than "creating" them with alchemy which would make Albedo even more special since he might actually be a creation.

Wait, would we consider Albedo's mark star shaped? Hmmmm

My cousin has a red magic phone and uses it like a switch and phone combo

About the Statues of the Seven, it actually does look like Egeria. At least based on the murals. In the murals, Egeria was depicted having long hair, wearing a robe-like dress, and a veil.

ive been waiting for this! the theme of fiction vs reality is repeated so much throughout the fontaine world quests it was driving me crazy trying to piece it all together.

Just getting an idea down here, but if what you say about the narwhal and childe is true, and the narwhal really is his constellation, this would mean that atleast some constellations are star beasts. If so, what does this mean for xiao, given that his constellation name is similar to his adeptus title, and its known that his true form is a bird, the same shape as his contellation. Given this, either xiao has a whole lot more to unpack as far as lore goes, or that whoever gave him the title of Alatus has some questions to answer.

Excellent video!!! I still don't quite get all of the Narzissenkreuz stuff so I'm excited for your follow up video on the entire questline

Some people really got mad at paimon during Furina’s story quest because she was being insensitive to Furina’s trauma but depressed people shouldn’t give up what they love you shouldn’t isolate yourself loneliness and a boring life will bring you nothing and getting Furina out of her shell was an important step to help her and by the end against her will she is broken out of her shell

i love your videos

bruh.. how you get redmagic to sponser you...

Why is EVERYTHING Kaeya does suspicious 😭😭

What's the ost during the start of of the Narcizekreutz part of the video.

I don't think its from Genshin but I really like it.

I had to stop the video and comeback after I finished that damned Narzen-thing Ordo quest. Good gawd that was long. I’m glad it’s over though.

I wish they made Furina sing off stage instead of actually being onstage and the whole cutscene would be kind of an imagination because it's her voice. That way she's apart of the stage, she gets to perform, her voice gets the spotlight, but she doesn't have to care about how people view her.

I still want to know what's going on with the narwhal. Neuvilette describes it as "weeping" and later in the battle says "It's sorrow has turned to aggression". WHY IS IT WEEPING? WHY IS IT SAD???? Like; that implies that there's something more going on there than just some mindless entity swallowing stars or primordial essence or w/e.
Also still wondering what happened to Lyris-Mary when the human sins were cleansed.

Has anyone managed to end the world quest? I'm still trying to understand where the hell these sperm thingys are at, or where the go to so I'll at least be able to see whether or not I got some of them already

Chicken-mushroom skewers...

Should've let a Fontanian consume it before the Archon Quest Neuvillette forgiven the sin... 🤣🤣

Could it be that the 4 descenders represent the 4 horsemen of Apocalypse in the bible?
Conquest - Phanes/Primordial one
War - 2nd who came
Famine - 3rd descender
Death - Aether/Lumine (MC)

Will the traveler bring death to all? Or will he sacrifice himself by death to save Teyvat?

Honest question, does the All-Devouring Narwhal count as a descender, because it fits the criteria of a being from beyond Teyvat entering the world, but the first and second descenders should be the Primordial One / Phanes and Celestia or Celestia and the Second Throne depending on your theory, the fourth is confirmed to be the Travelers, and the Third is not alive, as its remains are the what make up the Gnosises.

huh, i kinda thought the dog in the book was a fragment of Rene, from reading the log that was there after saving Canotila, that's what i got from it. I don't really understand it, though, like who wrote it? who was pretending to be Rene? i don't know, the Narzissenkreuz quest has far to many intricacies for me to make sense of it. Looking forward to your video on it.

Really good video but how come you didn't mention the part during the event quest with Fremi where it talks about Paimon revealing her true fairy form? That seemed like foreshadowing.

I believe Paimon speaks more than us because this is mainly her adventure to regain her lost power. She's the actual main character.

maybe it's a generational thing, but when I heard Neuvillette's line about Natlan I immediately pictured a Dinotopia situation.

Natlan better be cracked

Anyone else found it really suspicious how Paimon revealed herself as a goddess in the Freminet event quest? I can't help but think maybe the story of the event was supposed to give some kind of hint to Genshin's main story? But, idk I'm not smart enough to figure out those parallells lmao.

Great vid as always Ashikai. Loved it!

WAIT PLEASE TELL ME THE AFTER QUEST OF THE ORDO MEANS I CAN BRING THE MISSISSIPPI TOWER BACK

Congratulations to navia for doing what Gwen Stacy couldn’t ….. getting someone to actually save her.

I love you ashikai when she release her videos this long haha

I forgot but I think Furina had Neuvilette read the story.
So Neu be like: Ah, so this is the part where the actress gets a vision? I see...

And then he sees Furina instead of the intended actress and immediately starts simping

Why does the phone look like a naked hard drive
