I KNEW IT! Chapter IV Act II: As Light Falls Without Reason

Genshin Impact Archon Story Quest Chapter IV: Act II - As Light Rain Falls Without Reason
Timestamps:
14:55 Navia & Clorinde Save the Traveler Reaction
2:08:18 Childe Imprisoned by Neuvillette Reaction
After the trial, Navia believes that Furina was embarrassed to lose the case and is now blacklisting the hotel's Fonta, though the Traveler and Paimon shoot her down. Navia then sees them off, promising to help them with their requests should the need arise.
The Traveler hears a voice calling for Vacher from the Fountain of Lucine and walks towards it, blacking out in the process. They find themselves inside with an Oceanid, who tells them that they were one of the disappearing girls.
The Traveler finds Navia, Silver and Melus fighting a large horde of Clockwork Meka, and finds out that Clorinde had followed them because danger had been tracking her too closely as of late. Clorinde tells them to be careful, though Navia insists they'll find the truth.
Paimon tells the Traveler that the Meka appeared after they fell unconscious, and Navia saved her when she realized the water was spiked with water from the Primordial Sea that was meant for her.
The group catches up to Melus in the sewers of the Court of Fontaine, and learns that three years ago, Callas, Navia's father, was killed in a duel to maintain his honor.
The Traveler and Paimon find Navia greeting them, who had sent Melus and Silver back to their headquarters. Navia decides to go to the archives stored by Neuvillette.
The three go to Neuvillette's office, the Palais Mermonia, to archive information on a follow-up case, but find nothing about Vacher. Neuvillette apologizes to Navia for Callas' death, but she becomes offended as she knew he had no emotion behind his words.
The Traveler realizes that the real murderer might have been dissolved into water to leave no evidence at the crime scene, and Navia accepts their logic. She deduces that the drink known as Sinthe was spiked with water from the Primordial Sea.
Melus reveals that he had hidden more from Navia, that he was diagnosed with an illness and that he had a contingency plan by exposing the dangers of Sinthe to the public. He is confident that with the Traveler's help, she could uncover the truth for herself.
The Traveler meets up with Thierry and Marcel, and concludes that Marcel was the likely suspect, seeing as he was the only one of the three to be wealthy enough to afford private Meka. Thierry then informs them that the authorities have accused Tartaglia of the disappearances.
Tartaglia is confused as to what he is being charged for, but is willing to accept it if he could duel Clorinde again. Navia accuses Marcel of being the prime suspect, going back to her father's case, which Neuvillette refutes with the evidence she acquired.
Marcel defends himself by stating that Navia was rushing headlong without sufficient evidence, but she pulls a trump card by mentioning Vacher, which catches him by surprise.
The Traveler and Paimon explore the Sinthe facility and find evidence for Navia's case. Marcel does not defend himself and drinks a large amount of the Primordial Water to no effect, but Neuvillette declares him innocent and submits the information into the Oratrice, which returns a guilty verdict.
Tartaglia attempts to escape using his Electro Delusion and Foul Legacy Transformation, but Neuvillette crashes down on him and uses an unknown Hydro power to knock him out. He apologizes to Tartaglia but promises to personally investigate the matter.
The Traveler leaves the opera, and runs into Marcel and Esmond. Marcel asks the Traveler how they knew of Vacher, and they go to the fountain, where they hear Vigneire's voice, and Marcel finds himself in the dream realm.
The Traveler and Paimon visit Callas's grave and finds Neuvillette, where he explains why he let the duel between Callas and Clorinde continue. They ask Neuvillette several questions, and he reveals that he was prepared for such an outcome from the Oratrice. He promises to continue investigating Childe to prove his innocence and that Furina herself took the prophecy seriously.

Something you completly forgot: the legend about the rain in Fontaine and the hydro dragon that freminet told you about. Everytime the Hydro dragon cries, it will rain in Fontaine. Now recall when it rained in the Fontaine Archonquest and which character was sad during the time of the rain

[@Wizzardoftime]

NANI! I’m trying to remember!

@@Wizzardoftime I‘ll give you a hint: He has some special eyes and is very powerful, both in gameplay and in a cutcene in Fontaine act 2

Well...Honestly I found the mid part to be not so exciting having to go through gathering and presenting evidence and all that. However, I stuck glued to my screen with all the new revelations and confirmations of things suspected, so the very end was absolutely exhilarating for me. I am trying not to put any spoilers here, so I'll word things carefully. During this quest my affinity to Neuvillette continued to grow, Furina's behavior mystified and exasperated me, Childe was being Childe and made me want to give him a lecture on priorities. As characters go though, Navia was the actual lead character of this episode and getting to know her more made me appreciate her character. I know many, many love her for the character design, but for me the 'perfect porcelain doll in lace' was not an asset. However, the strength of her character and willingness to openly express her feelings won me over. (Yes, I did acquire Navia even though I lost the 50/50 and it took all my saved primogems.) In case you have not yet played the next part, I'd recommend not trying to force through it in one sitting. It has parts that are repetitive and tedious, which some suspect is on purpose so we may understand something else better at a later point in the story. I am not saying it is a bad quest, it is just not as exciting as what comes after. However, I do think it helps to understand how Fontaine operates. There are some amazing parts and a lot of foreshadowing in it too that for me made up for the daily toil.

I love this response! You'll be happy to know that at the time of this reply, I've started Chapter IV: Act V, and will post the videos very soon, and all I can say is, I am so excited to be caught up archon story wise for the first time ever, so I can start participating in the latest events and discuss the game with you all! I too really grew to appreciate Navia, and loved the character development, and I also like Neuvillette! I'm not a huge fan of Furina honestly and want to know more about her position so here's to learning more about her backstory soon!

[@natsuyuki8415]

@@Wizzardoftime I'll be looking forward to the update. In the meanwhile, I hope you are enjoying Lantern Rite, since it is the main event of the year and is not connected to the Archon Quest. Except the 4th part of the story, you may want to postpone that. It shows things you might not want to know about Furina in advance.

[@Keiki-kun]

Bro why are you so incredibly rude to Silver and Melus? they are MVPs even at this point in the main quest

[@Wizzardoftime]

I could not stand them at the time, but I now I have complete and total respect for them after what they did for Navia 😭

[@Keiki-kun]

@@Wizzardoftime what do you mean???? they were always there for Navia as her protectors, companions and friends Melus was basically her father figure you were the first person I saw to have hatred towards them (and for no reason because they never gave one)

[@x_Psyduck_x]

Am I blind or something? You missed a whole trial sequence in act I, it's not on your previous video

[@Wizzardoftime]

Which act??

[@x_Psyduck_x]

@@Wizzardoftime just watch your second Act I video till the end and you'll see. It ended way before the quest ended. People been telling you that in the comments 2 weeks ago

[@Wizzardoftime]

What was YOUR reaction to this lengthy archon quest??
