THE UNDYING FLAME! 5.3 Archon Quest Act 5 Reaction | Genshin Impact

[@ichikadey]

A small note!!!! Overall, I found the quest very well done. Act 4 added a whole new layer, showing the dire situation Natlan has been exposed to for years. Ronova's appearance strongly reminded me of the Arlecchino trailer, especially the X. Might have something to do with the crimson moon. I really liked how Natlan’s story ended with Kachina: someone who was afraid to step out of her own shadow...to a Kachina who sparked The Ode of Resurrection at the end. The Abyss is truly terrifying… especially how it tried to twist Mavuika's memories. But Mavuika's will is stronger which is why she shut Gosoythoth down with such a badass line: "If I was fated to fail, then why do you fear?" Loved this! Also, Hine and Mavuika… how Hine still managed to send her love by transcending time (froggie). Our journey won't end here... many questions remain unanswered. What are your thoughts?

[@ALD7MI2011]

the Ronova's appearance here similar to Raiden's skill, also she has 5 smaller eyes and 1 big eye... could it means the big eye is the current active gnosis the Tsaritsa? or maybe they're 7 eyes and 1 is already gone for good for where there's no more Hydro archon? Hoyo never done something without a reason.

So it's like this, the Abyss itself can be defeated by borrowing Ronova's power, and you know the price paid by Mavuika, but the captain exchanged that position with himself, so the debt problem with Ronova has been resolved, finished, now we go to the story where Gnosis Pyro the archon will be taken by force by the Tsaritsa, there will definitely be a messenger (harbinger) who will pick him up, I can't wait to see that

I think Columbina will be the one collecting the Pyro Gnosis. I dont think that the remaining ones will come for it, the Doctor is occupied in Nod-Krai and the only one i could imagine to be able to get the Gnosis beside Columbina is Pierro himself but again i dont see that outcome. I am interested what Ronova is doing all the time especially now that she is now longer interested in the Fate of Natlan. The Abyss still exist outside of Teyvat too, so they we might fight against it again near the end. Now that we have seen one of the Shades being active, whats with the other 3 and the Sustainer? The next year will be crazy. And i still want to visit the Mare Javari. The Archon Quest was insane and i am glad you done the world quest too as recommended. I know its just little expanded scenes or so but its nice to see so little details. I really enjoy your reactions the most because you are so invest in it. You remember even the NPC we meed only once and all and thats different from other reactions. I look forward to your next reactions as well. Dont let ever other people darken your mood about this game. 💐

@@ALD7MI2011 yes, it pretty much reminds me of Raiden's abilities as well. I once read somewhere that the eye might be a shard of the Plane of Euthymia, allowing Ei to supervise Raiden. Also, could you elaborate the eyes=gnoses part?

[@ichikadey]

@@nap_audiomusicprojects exactly! I can't wait for this part...I believe that Columbina will be sent off for this mission since the Doctor is busy with the Ancient Moon Remnants project...

Fr Natlan has the best Archon Quest imo soo far, story, cutscenes, fight sequence are all so amazing, the build up is epic, i lost it when the traveler and paimon hugs. Natlan AQ overwhelmed me with so much emotions and intensity, and also i just like how they unite to power up MC to fight that thing it feels so good that MC is MCing again. I feel like people who hate natlan because "we use the power of friendship" Just don't pay attention to the game at all or they cherry pick on purpose😂, Like Hello it's been that way since mondstadt, venti and everyone worked together, Liyue the adeptus and everyone Buff our MC to defeat that thing, Inazuma use the people's ambitions and kazuha that buff our MC so they're able to defeat even an archon, and etc. We as players are the MC ofc we utilize the power of friendship with the people we met along the journey. I feel, They are forgetting about that fact cuz of fontaine, where we as the MC is just the side character who DO our part. And yeah i do agree, i feel like ronova is indulging herself in this, the way she made capitano suffer all that long, ugh she's just a terrible entity. I hate her tbh nothing likeable about her appearance or characters, she just gives bully vibes but worse since she's so eager to witness the death of her victim. Also I love Lord of Night/Angel I feel like they're the only beings who won't betray humanity in Teyvat, best wingman

[@ichikadey]

I also heard about the aforementioned assumptions by some players who think that Natlan is based on the concept of "the power of friendship" Yes, it is, but it was always that way, as you said. It played an even more important role considering that Natlan was on the verge of total destruction. Hope, belief, solidarity... all of this fueled them. And yes! I also loved how important a role our MC played! That particular scene where we obtained our pyro power was so badass. Fontaine's story and Natlan's story were both great, but the content was very different, so I don't really understand why some players would compare them in terms of content. The only thing I really disliked (not really "disliked" but it could have been executed better) was the pace of the fight against Gosoythoth. It felt too fast... and yes!! Lord of the Nightkingdom is such a beautiful angel. Although we don't know her appearance, I can't help but imagine her as a beautiful angel, haha. And yeah... I try to empathize with characters but Ronova is a different case. Considering her statement, "Natlan is of no interest to me anymore" but earlier, she was willing to abuse her authority as a Shade (out of love) for Natlan's safety? It’s kind of confusing. I wonder what happened that made her the way she is now...

Great playthrough Ichi! I love your videos! Take care!

[@ichikadey]

@@aru_snickerdoodle thank you so so much!! Take care of yourself too!! 🥹

[@kyero8724]

Do yourself a favor, don't listen to the haters just hating on the Story because Capitano wasnt the main lead. They also call Mavuika a Mary Sue because she dare to have a plan and working on it for 500 years.

[@ichikadey]

While I understand that people are grieving the loss of a potential character, I personally think this is the 'best' outcome for Capitano. He had been waiting for this moment, for such salvation, not just for himself, but for the souls he carried with him for decades. I never really understood the Mary Sue allegations. Considering how many times Natlan has suffered from casualties and despair with no hope in sight, Mavuika gave up her past life and was ready to sacrifice her present life once again for the safety and future of Natlan. And if it weren’t for the Traveler (who was even given the Ancient Name Tumaini, Hope), she might have lost the final battle. She is a true warrior, a leader Natlan needed...

[@glory_m99]

I love this quest a lot it is one of my favorites now (it has everything)

[@ichikadey]

@@glory_m99 I agree, it was great!!

[@Kaizelot]

Citlali is an aztec name for girls, it means Star

[@ichikadey]

@@Kaizelot indeed beautiful 🥹💛

[@midoriyaizuku9350]

I feel you...

[@normalboy1677]

I like we can go where capitano is that's gonna be my new wishing area Knowing there are gonna be one extra nation personally felt overstresh of game i mean game had quality that it follows tevyat chapter storytelling video but adding nation like that makes me question was it writing choise or marketing so I'm little less intrested in genshin Maybe it will be worth it but at this point my excitement is not there anymore

[@ichikadey]

that's true, it's kind of bittersweet but I am also happy that we always have the chance to pay him a visit. I completely understand you and your feelings are valid. I personally thought that the Nod-Krai seemed kind of out of the blue but given that the power there predates the seven elements from Tevyat makes it interesting. We might have to wait and see what the future holds!

[@normalboy1677]

Out of blue has sock value it can go both ways Maybe writing wise there is reason which will unfold and I'm making big fuss around it Hopefully i didn't ruined your excitement I'm sorry if i did Have good time:)

[@glory_m99]

Nod-Krai is part of snezhnaya it is a big city that tsaritsa gave to the Doctor , it is not a new nation it is the main headquarters that dottore have (it appeared in the manga before the game even released) they didn't add it to the teyvat chapter trailer because it is not a nation it still part of shnaznaya

[@ichikadey]

@@normalboy1677 don’t worry, you didn’t ruin anything, this isn’t a problem at all!! I wish you a great time as well!!

[@ichikadey]

@@glory_m99 yes, exactly!! I remember that it is in the southern part of Snezhnaya so you’re absolutely right! Also, thank you for the info!! I didn’t know that it was mentioned in the manga way before. I should check out the manga as well, hehe
