@GuyWithAnAmazingHatАй бұрын
No, every single quest in the game results in different dialogues down the line, which is why when NPCs are involved in multiple quests you can't progress until you finish one of them, the result of the quest will determine dialogues and involvement. For example finishing any Sumeru quests before or after the Archon quest ending results in completely different lore. All the big quest chains like Aranara and Tsurumi Island also results in different stuff, in fact Tsurumi Island and Aranara has different dialogues depending on whether you have met Ruu through the quest.

Nah... It started way long ago, for example in Inazuma when we decide to leave or fight the Fatui spies (whether or not to start a fight), in Sumeru when we decide to spare or kill the "bad guy" at the end of Aranara Quest (whether or not to start a fight and different locations of Quest Item), and in Fontaine at the end of Leroy Quest (different cutscenes and locations of Quest Item). Not to mention the dozens of Daily Commissions that differs depending on your choice. Branching choices is a very fundamental part of programming, it's just that this is the first time they used it in an Archon Quest and they executed the NPCs well

So, my route is: 1. Under Siege. (Meet Uturunku for 1st time, motivate him to survive, and pick top choice). 2. Echoes Through the Valley. (Save doctor in hidden/extra objective). 3. Key Site Defense. (I only got this when selecting 1 & 2) (Meet Uturunku again, pick top choice to make him survive) 4. (After the Cutscene 01 in stadium ends) This time, I Pick South 1st (save civilian and some saurian) because I see 2 icons of people standing there, to make sure the chance to survive is higher than the North (no icon of people standing guard in there when I pick 1 & 2). 5. After done talk to the courier in the stadium, you only given one mission "Ferocious Beasts Unleashed", do it. 6. From this point if you didn't choose North for the 1st time at step number 4, you can access Rescue Suvivor: North, do it and... you will see the rest of people here. 7. Pick your only Quest "Endless Echoes". 8. Pick your only Quest "Flower of Darkness". 9. Pick your only Quest "Finality Forthcoming". 10. Pick your only Quest "Evac Team Rendezvous". -Continue until the end. ->*Update: With this route: Saved doctor 1/2 The main route here from my perspective play is 1-6, whatever route you take there is some loss in war. That's why your choice matter in a war/ life. Damn, hoyo-genshin team cooked the scenario this time.

I was so immerged with the war that I was constantly rushing. I skipped basic every optional side quest. The result is that the death number at the end remained around 1900, but I didn't save many of the specific NPC's.

It's strange that not saving the Doctor and supplier but going North leads to less overall deaths. I feel like I missed a lot of this stuff, I think i ended up with the 2005 death toll.

correction: at 5:45, the Courier's appearance is dependent on the choice between not quest "Despair Engulfs the Heavens"'s hotspots "Survivor Search and Rescue: North" and "Survivor Search and Rescue: South" but instead quest "The Surging Darkness"'s hotspots "Under Siege" and "A Surviving Courier's Missive"

Actually, if you save the doctor, the messenger and the supply person, the death toll will be less. The speed of finishing the missions also influences the death toll. I heard that a player was AFK for hours during the missions, and when he came back, the death toll had reached 40000.🥲

I applaud you for doing all these different branches just to show us the different outcomes. That must've taken a while. In my own game I'm pretty satisfied with every choice I made EXCEPT Awhina which I unfortunately chose the option that made her die (there's no way of knowing without spoiling yourself, which sucks). I was able to save Mayahuel, the single young Saurian (you don't need to save Raman to save the single Yumkasaur; I know this because he is MIA in my game but the saurian still made into the Stadium), Iyoba and Osawe, I motivated Uturunku and I saved Achiyaku and his comrades. Pretty good for a blind run. The one I liked the most was Achiyaku. Saving him equals saving a very large group, but sadly the NPC in that group that I liked the most will always die. RIP Wayta. It would be even crazier if Hoyo made these NPCs stay in the world after the Archon Quest for an extra punch in the guts. Edit: So after digging a llittle I just found out that Toto, Kachina's big dinosaur friend, can actually die in the Archon quest if you take too long doing the quest. YIKES. I saw him and he did survive in my game, but I'm curious if Hoyo will still use Toto in future quests if he can die in this one.

Agreed. My tactic was to handle the places I'm more confident in handling; that's the best way I can help more. But to no avail, this is a war so I expect casualties.

I also didn't spend too much time fussing over minor details, because I felt a lot of this was time sensitive. I also opted to consistently go to the seemingly more dangerous locations. I ended up missing a lot of NPC's and cutscenes, but ended up with a relatively low damage toll.
@fantachan1022 ай бұрын
When playing this part of the quest, I ended up making my choices at random, lol. So in the end I saved Mayahuel, Achiyaku (and his civilians), and the mother and child. If I could go back, I'd also try and save Awhina, since I pretty much sent her to her death. 😭

I.... sat to think through on my decisions in that quest. And I accepted that I will not be able to save everyone. I did what I can, chose the options where I weighted if there is no Armed NPC or Friendly Saurian is there to fight/defend on the mission. It might be heartless but I chose the where I felt like I would save more civilians, and where some "strategic" points can be held. By the end, the casualties were at 1.2k rounded off. I dunno if I could've save more but I did what I can and can only pray to those I failed to help. This quest is a good reminder that just because they are NPCs, they can still affect you mentally.

Actually on 4:40 I get to see BOTH the Saurians near the sharp rock and Uturunku who I chose to motivate. I did this by 1. A Surviving Courier's Missive (Saurians and messenger) 2. Echoes Through The Valley (Meeting the Messenger again and destroy Abyssal Pylon) Unfortunately this ment not saving the Doctor and Awhina. This means the Saurians appear there if you rescue them on A Surviving Courier's Missive, they are NOT connected to Uturunku in any way.

I finished the quest a couple or so days after the version came out so it’s been awhile and I don’t exactly remember everything I did. But from what I do remember, I saved the doctor instead of the messenger. I saved the people with the potions instead of the ones from the children of echoes. I don’t remember fs if I motivated Uturunku or not. After the cutscene, I decided to go south. From what this video tells me, I don’t think there’s a perfect outcome, it’s just a matter of saving person A at the cost of person B dying and vice versa As for my team, I first started off using characters that were part of the story like Kinich and Kachina (for the immersion yk). But then once things started to get more dire, I switched to my Nahida-Furina-Yae hyperbloom which is one of my strongest teams, but even that wasn’t enough to clear out the enemies as fast as I should have
