Natlan Before and After 5.1 Archon Quest | Genshin Impact 5.1

[@Professionalchildesimp]

To make it worse, malko's soul was already killed by the abyss lector so vichama is all alone in the night kingdom

[@annoyedtorchic8270]

Wow thanks for making it more depressing

[@animeshub6856]

Bro why did u remind me of that😭

Soul can't be killed.. nor be destroyed.

[@brickwall9027]

​@@cottoncandyUwU420Bro u skipped it huh

[@lastfullast8819]

Some people say something like: “It doesn’t count, it’s just NPCs”. But I think this latest Archon quest was beautifully made. Slowly losing all hope, seeing dead bodies of Natlanians, Fatui and Saurians (and thinking something like “They fought so bravely, but that wasn’t enough…”), simply feeling how terrifying war is…

[@JastisLej]

It doesn’t count, it’s just NPCs

[@PreciousCosmos]

it hit me hard when i noticed the barricades set up outside the entrance to the canopy where people were ready to fight and then you return there later to find it destroyed 😢

[@revalitexdi]

At moment in the qu'est i was thinking about the fact that the plan of capitano should have been done

[@Valéria.vivee2]

​@@revalitexdi I honestly don't think natlan will have a happy ending Something will happen that will completely turn the traveller to the fatui side ...might even take scaramouch's empty seat ....it's been set in motion on how every mew encounter with the fatui we had is less and less violent and more co-operative Something gonna happen in natlan and perhaps the long awaited sustainer gonna lay natlan to ash as a punishment for destroying the sky dome all infront of us as we see everyone we fought for just disnegrate, probably will even understand the abyss sibling motivation ....tbh at this point Idk why we even fighting the fatui anymore

[@DzikriWG]

Some small other details that you can found with after the war : - Interact with 3 Tribe's Chiefs and ask about the Abyss war aftermath. - Interact with Apoxpalon [located behind left backside of Obsidian Totem Pole in Children of Echoes], there'll some additional dialogue about Batz' status. - Interact with Coyopa/Coa [located at front door of Speaker's Chamber], they'll chat about the victims that once stay at the Sacred Flame Stadium. - Interact with Katari while play as Yumkasaurus [the one guarding Obsidian Totem Pole in Scions of the Canopy alongside Aclla], it'll tell about Hunza's bravery. - Interact with Battuta [the Researcher stand with Nzinga] to know about Nzinga's status. - Interact with Tahmures [the Reseacher stand with Akeor] to know about Akeor's status. One unfortunate thing is that i can't find any NPC related to Tairona in People of the Spring except their chief...

[@lulufortytwo3884]

omg, thanks! Once I realized how empty places were after the AQ I wished I paid more attention to the NPCs because I noticed how empty Scions of the Canopy was. there used to be a whole group inside on the steps that are just gone.

[@silverredwing20]

In my play through, Inna (the lady seen with the Saurians next to Weary Inn) is still present

[@netuser3]

I think some of them just move. Inna is at the side of the inn in my account. I guess it depends how many you save during the story? In my playthrough, a whole bunch of people were able to make it to the stadium (the guy and his doctor mom reunite, the unsure guy was able to save himself, a whole bunch of Canopy guys were able to evacuate civilians, etc.)

[@Kitty_EulaMain]

Honestly Paimon’s words really affected me in this quest “I don’t know how much of this Paimon can take” “no one…there’s nobody”. Fighting an area full of corpses was the worst.

[@althea7181]

That one hurtbme the most

[@uligallardo8110]

What's worst is that Paimon refers herself in third person, which is common for childs to do in Asia as far as I can tell. Which means, Paimon saw all that while being at a very young age.

[@benjiemaquilanperoy7348]

It seems that the ones with the high casualties is on the side of the Scions of the Canopy, with the Abyssal Eye dropping a massive crystal pylon on the freaking entrance to their home.

[@darkrow8488]

And also their ppl is scatter around as information delivery, makes them easy target

[@Mars_261]

Mavuika are from the Scions of the Canopy... maybe that another reason (other than the one before me) why writers chose this tribe too.

[@pafoa6terencereybernardoch63]

That balloon ride where you see the village get completely overrun and many dead makes you wonder how chief wayna also survived.

[@emery120]

Albeit from what we can see If we also had Chasca's clan in the map, we would've probably had half of the video just showing the multiple missing NPCs of that clan

[@Raudent]

@@pafoa6terencereybernardoch63 eh, chiefs are badasses on their own right i guess

[@kamicokrolock]

One of the things that hit me the hardest during the quest was when Paimon said something along the lines of not being able to emotionally handle the death and destruction anymore. She's always so happy, and we often actively shield her from the more unpleasant things we encounter, but we couldn't protect her from the realities of war. It just hit home at how much suffering was being presented in that quest and how dire the situation in Natlan (and Teyvat) was if Paimon was loosing all hope. The memorial at the end was bitter sweet.

[@matmag7503]

I remember that it was that long air ballon travel when she almost broke down

[@e.a3157]

I agree with you! my heart broke hearing her cry at all the casualties.

[@stephaniewijaya1570]

"This is no disaster, Paimon, this is war"

[@tiramizu8519]

and before we rush our way to chasca Xilonen asked that we pushed ourselves too hard and about to reach the limit already but Paimon replied "If there will be when we push ourselves then it gonna be now" which surprisingly it comes from Paimon eventhough she did literally nothing afterward

[@ashphoenix3507]

Funny how people were mad how Natlan looked so happy happy at start, no hint of war , War is just them in tournament, capitano and Mauvuika would fight in tournament...... All of this certainly didn't age well

[@Sharkury]

In my opinion, Natlan is still what was not expected, killing NPC's is not a serious thing as it would be to kill important characters, and no, don't tell me about Mavuika, she will revive and it will not be considered a death. Plus, they hesitate to kill a character because they would lose money by not making it playable. This isn't like HSR where Misha and Gallagher "died" and are still playable. Edit: What was the need to make Capitano sell smoke? The character that was painted as the strongest man in Teyvat ended up being a fraud. Edit 2: Most people can't read apparently, I won't respond to conflicting comments as to why my points are there, no need to explain. 💀 Edit 3: Wow, I saw someone telling me that I skip the story... Bro, you don't even know me enough to say that, you don't know about my life xd.

[@emote3976]

War never changes. I felt so meaningless the more it was going on. The first part before the cutscenes i really had the thought we can do something to help keep it down but after that it was going downhill. To see All the people of Natlan, the Fatui and saurians dead hit hard and i felt weak. To see Paimon who was always so cheerful and happy be so sad hurts hard. It makes you wonder especially after its over if we could have done more or how it would going if Chasca got it earlier or even if it would have prevented Chuychu death. It is sad and it hits very hard that the story ends at the memorial.

[@Lu_Ying]

Genshin is really showing us how war really impacts ppl(Bc a lot of us don’t know what the feeling of war is) I think it’s to spread awareness of the feeling or smth or the severity but in summary The archon quest for Natlan was just amazing and can really make us feel a ton of emotions throughout the whole gameplay

And then here we are .. in Natlan.. corpses left and right 😭 so many casualties.. and i hate the fact that you get two choices at some points and after you're done with the area.. you cant choose the other one anymore until later.. but i think either way.. you'll come back again.. and see that they still met their tragedies 😢

[@Desghio]

Also the death counter changes based on your choises, like if u visit one area before the other one, how Quick you killed the enemy, how much HP the ally NPCs lost in the battle, etc.

Some NPCs fate are based on your choices too, like the Ututuwhatsoever(?) guy, he's ask if people will remember him if he die, your choices are "stay alive" or "they will remember you", if you choose the second one he'll not in stadium on later, same with messenger Raman(?) one too, if you not find him in bush, he'll not in stadium later

[@mamoruin6240]

What is thiss 😢 It's already sad when I saw those saurians corpses. When I saw them lay on the ground I innocently said "hey buddy, why you all sleeping here" like what?! how old I am? 5? It really hit me when realise they're die not sleep 😭

[@Heeekau]

I was shocked to see the death count increase to 4000, I was almost in fking tears. And that scene where we glide through Natlan with the ballon, Paimon's voice hits hard, her voice was shaky, losing hope and everything.

It drops back to 2000+ in the end, because a lot of people got resurrected. But half of them didn't

This quest definitely beat any other emotionally impactful questline I've ever played through by a long shot. I cried so hard and since I play on GeForce NOW as a free user, (so only getting one hour per session to play) the amount of times I had to restart my sessions made this all the sadder.. Also being able to pick and choose which locations to go to was neat but also so overwhelming and the anxiety I had during it was so bad.. I finished it this morning (around 2am something) and while I'm happy I got to see the NPC's that I saved, I feel awful being unable to go to every location in order to save more people QmQ I clicked on this video because the only NPC I remembered other then Chyuchu was Vichama so I wanted to see who the other ones were and while my heart hurts for Vichama, I want to believe he's finally reunited with Mallko.. Even if it isn't true, I'm still gonna believe that they are together again. Knowing that it's possible to save different NPC's based on the locations you choose, I'm gonna make myself suffer more by watching other people's LP's to see if they chose different locations from me. In my playthrough while I don't remember all I saved, I did save the Scions of the Canopy guy who was injured along with the saurians in that location and by proxy I saved Toto which made me happy. Apologizes for the long post but I felt the need to say it.

I finished the quest last night. When I finally came across the first set of dead saurians I was shocked and my heart broke. I was like okay this is really bad and shit is getting real. Seeing the bodies on the bridge in Scions and then Paimon being scared and losing hope hit hard. I was in tears up until after Chuychu. And it’s heartbreaking that her death was needed for Chasca to awaken her ancient name. I feel like even if it’s just NPCs it still makes a huge impact because these are side characters we come to really like and are used to seeing. Was also really excited for the lore aspect as well. Genshin has just done a really good job since we got to sumeru and questions are being answered but also making us as more questions as well 😅

[@meo2097]

50% of military tacticians, commanders and generals IRL would have chosen to abandon those who are scattered and isolated, saving them would've risk much more, inhumane yes, but it's a real tactic in warfare especially when the odds are stacked up against them.

Akeor (the guy that disappears at 3:07) still appears in the commsion: Grow Up Quickly, Littl'Un.

Yes, I also got his daily quest after the archon quest. If you talk to the scholar, she'll tell you that Akeor left with his saurian to fight for Natlan, and she hopes that her research can help him in the fight, so it's logical to think that he didn't die and that's why he keeps appearing in the daily quests.

I hope you show the differences on the Natlan Abyss War because turns out, the number of deaths you'll get is different for each account depending on how fast you kill the enemies and the hotspot you chose first. So depending on your choices, some people will either live or die. I've seen users saying that they had around 4000 or even 6000 deaths...

I think the death count is around 1900-2200. 4000-6000 does appear in the count in the last part of the quest, but the number goes back down to around 2000 because of the Ode of Resurrection

[@blackitten81]

Judging by all the stories we've heard about the Cataclysm from other nations, it was devastating. It fucked over the political, economic, and social situations in so many nations and caused a knock-on effect that echoes till this day. Some of the effects: Mondstadt - Corrupted Dvalin. Signora lost her lover and became a Harbinger. Liyue - A lot of Millelith deaths, and Yelan's ancestor. The Yaksha Bosacius also died there. Inazuma -Scara (ANOTHER Harbinger) and Shogun were created. Inazuma lost a lot of their top fighters like Chiyo and Takamine. Ei was overcome with grief and fear, secluding herself, which affected her national policies. Scaramouche destroyed the swordsmith schools. Sumeru - Death of Rukkhadevata, causing the Akademiya to decline and become dogmatic. It ruined Old Vanarana as well, and many parts of the forest. Fontaine - Death of Egeria and Admiral Basil plus the rest of the fleet. Spawned a new race of beings, the Melusine. The whole Narzissenkreuz tragedy cuz Rene tried to transcend humanity. Possible Harbinger arose (if Sandrone is really based on Alain's sister Mary-Ann) Khaenri'ah: Abyss Order created. Two Harbingers arise. Loom of Fate.
