SHE'S A GEM! Arlecchino Story Quest | Genshin Impact 4.6

[@daysand123]

The fact Arle so subtly breaks down while keeping composure when saying goodbye without fully giving it away is such amazing voice acting. Literally best character and best character quest by a mile. Dad is goated.

[@bhayThakur01]

She is 4th rank harbinger fighting her is same as fighting multiple adeptus at same time not just one adeptus Arrlechino is demigod level which is very close to god level.

[@seb_btm1349]

Now imagine dottore, columbina and capitano, if I remember correctly the 3 first fatuis have an equal power to the archons

[@chu_pushistov]

Только не с Архонтами. Немногие другие существа называются богами в Genshin. Вы можете прочитать навыки сяо, и в какой-то строчке будет что-то вроде «даже боги будут его бояться» или что-то в этом роде

[@daysand123]

To say daddy aint archon tier is to spit blasphemy. She made the wannabe god brat look like a tryhard which i mean he is but considering this feels like the first respectable harbinger fight since Childe thats just a display of their power rather than gimmicks like running away or an eva, speaks volumes and she kicks the shit out of everyone helping as well as the player. Its even better when beating her in a weekly she just like claps and disappears like "yeah good job kid. You still a bitch tho."

[@periodicgaming5159]

There were so many layers in how each character treated the situation. Fremi was focused on caring for and helping others, Lyney was trying to keep his family safe, Lynette trying to keep her brothers out of trouble, Arlecchino trying to keep her façade of strictness while fully caring for her children, and helping them live the life they want, and all wrapped up in the context of trauma and betrayal. Especially in Fontaine, every character is full of depth, so I love quests like these where everyone has their own goals and motivations, and we get to see how they all tie together. Also, quick note about lore. There was a new series of books released last patch that can be bought in Fontaine. They talk about an orphanage from Khanariah (I probably spelled that wrong, so where Dainsleif is from), and there are several parallels between it and the house of the Hearth, and even more parallels between Father and the main character of the book, Perinheri. The crimson moon is especially pointed out in both. So, if you want some lore that is probably connected to Arlecchino, I’d suggest giving it a read. Okay, it wasn’t just a quick note.

[@AerinstadasChronicler]

People seem surprised or disappointed that Traveler can't actually beat Arle, but the only fights Traveler wins 1v1 across the entire game are Childe and Signora. Every other fight he canonically has help from strong allies, or isn't even in the fight to begin with (Puppet Ei). Addendum: Like we tell Furina, we're a witness, not a participant.

[@partiallywhole]

so far we've got: - the adepti's help and the Jade Chamber during the fight against Osial - the combined power of people's Visions against the shogun (archon quest) - humbled by Osial's wife, and then Shenhe helped us against them - Nahida and people of Sumeru's help against Shouki no Kami - almost no chance against Apep's IMMUNE SYSTEM if not for the good cells returning with enough power to stabilize them - the help of Childe(kinda), Focalor's sacrifice and the power of the DRAGON SOVEREIGN OF WATER against the Narwhal

@@bhayThakur01 The Harbinger ranks mean nothing outside their relative capabilities between members.

[@barti560]

You are talking sh& too. Technically Traveler beat Scara after learning how to beat him. The problem is that just like between 5 and 6 gap is too big, the gap between 4 and scara is unfathomable. And he didn't have the ability to repeat the loop to learn how to beat her. And you have to consider that 0-3 harbingers have powers comparable or even stronger than gods. With their gnosises. So make an educated guess. Yes, it was obvious that we would get sp@nked by her, but with time? We will get there.

[@AerinstadasChronicler]

@barti560 We beat him after a powerup from an entire nation. He defeats us over 100 times beforehand. In any situation, 100+ losses is a decisive loss. Even if we go the route where the powerup is actually just hundreds to thousands of minds processing information all at once, that means the key to victory was perfect movements and predictions down to tenths of a second and hundreds of battles worth of learning his movements and habits. Sure, it's impressive, but a 1 in 168 perfect chance is so astronomically low that it can't be considered the norm.

[@glory_m99]

I can't believe what I am saying right now, but the star of this version is the new world quest it's stunning and magical, and the ending cutscene goes so hard with the music and the vibes ^ ^

[@SaraBearRawr0312]

In regards to ending up on opposing sides of Arlecchino: I've had a long held belief that while we all have different methods, good and bad, at attaining our goals, the true big bad in Genshin is Celestia, or rather the being controlling Celestia and eventually the traveler, the Archons + Neuvillette, the Tsaritsa + the Fatui, and even our sibling & the Abyss Order will join forces to fight Celestia. I believe that we will eventually fight Pierro, but I believe that he will then stand with us against the heavenly principles as he himself has reason for revenge in being a former mage of the court of Khanreiah, witnessing his nations destruction, and having the same curse of immortality as Dainsleif. The fatui have done some very reprehensible things but so far that we're aware of only one of them strikes me as genuinely irredeemable and thats Dottore. When we get to Natlan and finally confront Capitano, I believe that much of the Fatuis plans will come to light and we will realize that our goals are in-fact following a similar path.

[@christian1neza1656]

Arlecchino obviously held back not only against her children but Traveler as well Despite that there's clearly a large GAP between the traveler and the top Fatui Harbingers in terms of power

[@himetsukich]

Yeah, Arlecchino is insane! Holy cow she is SO strong. I mean, I knew she was gonna be strong, but damn, she just 1 v 4'd us without even trying XD

[@christian1neza1656]

@@himetsukich yes. Following from Liyue to Sumeru, Traveler defeated 3 Harbingers and NONE of them were holding back Arlecchino is Boss Mommy

[@mystery8820]

I swear from a lore perspective, if Traveler can't beat the Knave, even with help from friends, what chance do they have against the Captain? He's in Natlan next chapter. Or worse, Columbina and Dottore.

[@AerinstadasChronicler]

​@christian1neza1656 To be entirely fair, the only Harbingers we've managed to beat 1v1 are Signora and Childe. Every other major battle the Traveler is in he's canonically had help from rather powerful allies.

[@ShiraFuyu2022]

Im curious about that title of hers, "Cinder of Two Worlds Flame". We know Genshin impact is a part of the Honkaiverse, and that "Crimson Moon" seemed similar to the "Black Hole and Sea." Makes me wonder if theres some Aeon involvment with her curse. Also, that last cutscene, when the sun finally shone over Clervie, it never did reach Arleccinno. As Clervie faded away, she was sitting in the shadows cast by the ruins of the place where the two most important moments of Peruere's life took place. Clervie may have been set free, but the Hearth is a place that will always stay in darkness, and their "Father" is no exception

[@onslaughtx8309]

Tsuki: "Zhongli = Easy mode" Also Tsuki 30 seconds later = (panic noises while searching for her emergency food mid battle) Someone did get bodied, and it certainly wasn't Arlecchino The crimson moon will come back as a reference. There's definitely something in there. When the Fatui Harbingers got introduced in the Winter Night's Lazzo, there were so many theories going on about the ranks of the Harbingers, and what it denotes in terms of their strength. Everyone thought that Arlecchino was ranked 8-10, and would be quite weak. Honestly, she's way more unsettling and interesting than any of the Harbingers we've met so far. Genuinely think the only character with better writing than her would be Nahida. Very curious how she'd be fighting someone like Zhongli or Ei during the Archon wars. Clervie and Arlecchino interaction

[@himetsukich]

This is what we refer to as "false confidence" lol and I had a lot of it 😂 I'm so curious to meet all the other Harbingers. Arlecchino is amazing! I hope the rest will be just as fascinating and awesome and terrifying as she is. I'm especially curious about Columbina (I think that's her name?). I just love the design of her so freaking much! Also, YES! I'm glad that Clervie and Arlecchino got to at least talk a little bit before Clervie went away

[@onslaughtx8309]

@@himetsukich It is Columbina according to Comedia dell'arte, from which the harbinger names are derived. Her singing on Signora's grave with a smile was the best part of that trailer. There's also another harbinger that is theorised to be a yaksha (not spoilers. No "dreams"). I'm slightly disappointed at the frequency of these harbingers appearing. Feel we're leaving too much for the last two regions before we explore Khanreiah.

[@Vincikun]

I hate when Mihoyo writers (or maybe translators) try to give timeline events just to give some context/exposition. Lyney specifically said that Freminet were rescued by Father just like he and his sister when they were having that brotherly talk earlier. Then Freminet would say he was under Crucebena for a month. Another thing is that Arlecchino was 16 years when she killed Crucebena. Now if Freminet was already under House of the Hearth back then, let's be generous and say maybe he was a toddler back then but it still messes up most of the timeline and character ages. Last thing is that Freminet has been helping Clervie for like "a month" but evidence that Clervie has been around for a lot longer than that. I know the writers are just trying to hold back on information and try to pin the ghost mystery to be the reason for moving to Poisson. But it just makes Freminet such an unreliable narrator especially since if he remembers Arlecchino killing Crucebena, he must have encountered Clervie back when she was alive. "Teyvat has its own laws" quote is the only suspension of disbelief that I am holding on because of this timeline inconsistencies. Just wished they just made it like they found an old diary or something instead of making Freminet alive during Curcebena rule and giving such a specific time for all of Arlecchino's reign as the current Father of the house.

The quest is very good, but I think my expectations for it were set a bit too high with all of the promotional materials related to it. Truth be told, I was expecting more from it. Fun (?) fact. Project Stuzha (and like 90% of words from Snezhnaya) uses real Russian word. "Stuzha" is basically an archaic way of saying that the weather is very cold

Hime is so cute 💛 didnt liked her story, we didnt know much wbout her and the end was weak. If the traveler lost now he has no chance in the future. He must do training or get more of his power back before natlan or he stuck and cant go forward

[@chu_pushistov]

I was so infuriated by the fact that our traveler could do ABSOLUTELY NOTHING against her. ABSOLUTE ZERO. Has he forgotten how to use the elements? When was the last time he used them? Raiden on the boss? What about the "Arlecchino Curse"... FUCK, EVERYONE WOULD HAVE THAT FUCKING CURSE THAT MAKES YOU A FUCKING GOJO SATORU. Is this what you call a curse? Huge power in exchange for hands in machine oil? Fuck this, this is complete bullshit. I wonder how the hell we're supposed to beat Dottore if we couldn't even beat her, because the developers need to SELL THE CHARACTER, SHE'S SO COOL, AND THE TRAVELER IS A SUCK, BUY HER, BUY

[@effortlessfury]

If you pay attention to the Traveler in the cutscene, they're shook. Arlecchino is aggressive with her attacks and almost catches the Traveler off guard. Additionally, the description of the Weekly Boss domain calls this a "rude awakening." I think, under duress, the Traveler fell back on their muscle memory of fighting with a sword. That's a normal thing if you've not attempted to drill usage of the powers into your subconscious. I think they're setting up for a training arc. Also, as far as that curse goes, unless Arlecchino can keep control of her emotions, the curse would consume her.

[@chu_pushistov]

@@effortlessfury It's not even a matter of what he lost, but how he lost. Shaking like a little puppy. We fought an archon, a dragon, a whale. AND WE DID NOT SHAKE ANYWHERE. Usually you associate yourself with the main character, well. Thanks to the developers.

[@effortlessfury]

@@chu_pushistov The Traveler has made note that they are unsettled by Arlecchino on multiple occasions. I find people are most upset/least understanding of failures that are psychologically rooted if they're not spelled out explicitly, and even then, many people don't care. The Traveler fought Ei for a bit and then was laid out in a single attack. We didn't even have a chance to see their reaction to her in the cutscene as they were taken out almost right away, but if you go by the Traveler's reaction to the Plane of Euthymia from the end of Ei's teaser, the Traveler was actually shaken a bit by the Plane. (keep in mind that there's a Crimson Moon there) They fought her again after being trained up a bit but were still losing until they got the boost from people's Wishes. They fought Apep but had Nahida by their side. They fought a Whale, with Neuvillette by their side (and who was actively granting them his power during the fight). They lost to Scaramouche 168 times. With this fight against Arlecchino, now the Traveler is supposed to be the strong one. That's pressure that's not been present outside of the fight with Signora or Childe, and Signora didn't die by our hand, just lost the duel. (not to mention Traveler was pissed, and that can definitely subconsciously push any possible fear aside) Arlecchino is scary. She's not just powerful, but she throws you off. Hell, that's how she beat Crucabena; she called Crucabena, "Mother," and this threw her off for just long enough for Peruere to kick her into the sky. The Traveler was not given time to think, and when people don't have time to think, they fall back on their instincts. The Traveler's instincts outside of swordplay are shit and they've had no real reason to rehone them. They HAVE been skating by and this fight shows that. Honestly, if the Traveler had displayed expert use of all of their powers and still lost...what will a training arc do? What is there left to be gained aside from external help? Arguably, that would just establish the Traveler as completely incapable, present or future, of doing anything about the stronger members of the Fatui. At least with this situation, the excuse exists that they are not skilled enough, and that gives room for them to gain that skill.
