The Harbingers of Natlan - Plots, Bosses, and More (Genshin Theory and Speculation)

Natlan is the next nation that we will visit on our journey through Teyvat, and there's no doubt that some Fatui Harbingers will be there as well. In this video, I go over what we know about the Fatui in Natlan so far, and which Harbingers we could potentially see there.

Bruh, imagine all of the Harbingers in Natlan banded together to whoop Dottore's ugly ass for a crazy plan that wasn't part of the Tsarita's plans

[@LunaLuvstheMoon]

yessss lmaoooo

[@sokol1235]

I would love that

[@Sofia-ge6wm]

*kicks down door* I HEARD HARBINGERS?👀👀👀👀

[@hine_dere]

Imagine when we got playable Capitano he has a line for every harbinger and when it comes to Childe he just says "Who?". It's probably not gonna happen but still funny to think about.

[@athenacxy27]

just like Ei's voiceline for Itto

[@Truck-kun11]

I imagine the Boss Fight with Capitano being similar to the fight against Jetstream Sam from Metal Gear Rising: - Simple - No Gimmicks, just pure ass kicking - Brutal - He at some point drops the sword and starts throwing hands

[@Truck-kun11]

I want Varkas to be the greatest Himbo of all combined with the wisdom of a Jedi Master. One minute he's giving you life advice and the next he's having an arm wrestle at the bar.

[@Orion_TheyThem]

Soooooo young Obi Wan is what you're saying 🤣

[@xxsilentvibezxx2456]

Childe will prolly have a bigger role in his home country rather than natlan all to protect his siblings from any harm

[@saadmanbevore]

Arlecchino's flames have the power to delete memory. Irminsul is teyvat's memory. Maybe that's the only flame in the world that can burn the irminsul. Which is why dottore needs arlecchino for project stuzha. Maybe they wanna delete the world controlled by celestia and build a new world.

[@Kynokefalos]

It would be nice to bring Signora back in the plot but as flashbacks. Like they did with the anime of Arlecchino. We learnt from her that they were close. And according to the order of the Fatui Harbingers poster, the next fight will be Columbina. Being Capitano the last boss of Snezhnaya, because its obvious that Pierro fight will be in the Khaenri'ah chapter. And i believe that Pierro logo/constellation isn't in the poster, i think he is the mask at top of the circle.

[@noyhyon]

I like this idea, signora deserves it

[@Catdogomeow]

LMAO the harbingers jumping on Dottore would be funny

[@Sebianeri]

I know, it's just a canon thing but this "obtain the final gnosis" plot can just happen while we're in Fontaine or elsewhere. I love how each Archon is in this pretibial waiting room until we enter the nation. Each of the upper 4 Harbingers could have easily gotten their assigned gnosis while we were still learning to do basic gliding...

[@colorlessguard]

i 100% agree that Childe showing up in Natlan makes a lot of sense! and even if he’s not already heavily involved in the archon quests, i think sometime during the 5.x patches would be the PERFECT opportunity for the devs to give us a part ii to his character quest 🙌

[@Roxy_Axy]

Bruh just no he’s literally everywhere

[@valnoroy3744]

​@@Roxy_AxyFr, We were supposed to get Sandrome in Fountain.

[@motemo8413]

@@Roxy_Axy there's quite some things in-game suggesting that he's potentially the most important Harbringer which seems odd given his ranking

[@Orion_TheyThem]

Arlecchino told us where her fire blood comes from, though. It's from a Khaenri'ahn curse because she's from the Crimson Moon Dynasty. So it's slightly different than the immortality curse put on the Eclipse Dynasty

[@DestymphStormboy_]

Based on the Harbinger wheel, the harbinger weekly boss we get should be the queen herself Columbina, which could be a good or bad thing, all playable harbingers have had bosses, but same goes for all the dead ones.

[@Demigod2NE3]

True. I saw it the other day again, and with Arlecchino being a weekly boss, it seems like the counter clockwise theory is true and Columbina is out next weekly boss in Natlan. I think we would only meet Capitano in Natlan but not fight him, more like what Dottore did in Sumeru where we fought Scara instead.

[@valnoroy3744]

Columbina is playable, luckily.

[@DestymphStormboy_]

@@valnoroy3744 ... Not everyone looks at leaks, when will people learn ...

[@januxx07]

If you noticed that every Harbinger we fought were in the even numbers (except Childe): 8th - Signora 6th - Scaramouche 4th - Arlecchino then I guess the next harbinger would be the 2nd - Dottore

[@Cleeooor]

Tartussy finally getting noticed by capitano would be the most wholesome thing :,)

[@danielm5535]

In Natlan, the Traveler will become the unmentioned Honorary 10th Harbinger, per Capitano’s request. I have no evidence, I just want to flick that spaghetti noodle on the theory wall. 😝

[@oneiraxmoon9075]

I think columbina’s going to be the boss in natlan because of the harbinger wheel, it showed child, signora, scaramouche, then arlecchino and columbina’s next on the wheel so if the harbinger wheel is correct columbina’s likely going to be a weekly boss in natlan

[@oneiraxmoon9075]

just realized i accidentally wrote child instead of childe lmao

[@parp2903]

Since the start of the Game Natlan has been my most anticipated nation. I can't wait.

[@Teddy_Bear8181]

The boss? Columbina, look at the harbinger "clock" We start at the bottom-Tartaglia, then up by 1 to the right Next one in line is the crying dove

[@primogem5197]

NO WAY I CANNOT BELIEVE IT BROOO🤯🤯🤯

[@valnoroy3744]

​@@primogem5197Best part, she's playable

[@chantelgriffin7372]

Here's to hoping Capitano is playable.

[@noyhyon]

Since 2.0 i have been wanting to see childe’s character growth, i see him as someone who grows stronger with every fight so im REALLY excited to see wht happens to him in natlan (if he will be there ofc). Great video as always

[@hongchen4865]

Harbinger hype is real!

[@hello_idk0]

Tbh I hate the idea that the harbingers will be the main focus I want more focus on the tribes , the pyro archon and the dragons

[@patrickcarter2829]

Ideally, it would probably be Pyro Archon and Harbingers in the Archon Quest, with Dragons and tribes saved for Story and World Quests.

[@harfi212]

The pyro archon and the playable character on natlan still gonna be the focus on the story, just like fontaine story. It always the pattern on every nation. And mihoyo need to sell pyro archon. Its just the community hyping up the harbringer too much.

[@NitoKuraragiCh]

I always love the discussions Silicon brings up. These are some really interesting possible scenarios.

[@yoiko89]

Columbina is the next weekly boss in Natlan and weekly boss in snezhnaya have symbol of Three Nails possible Captain. Just check the Round Table symbol for Fatui Harbinger (All Right side already occupied by weekly boss)

[@iybguzma]

Great video about the theories and speculations about Natlan and Harbingers This just makes me more exciting for the Natlan arc that is soon to come

[@Keiki-kun]

I want Natlan to have a boss inspired by "Boitata" so bad, it's a creature from Brazilian mythology it is a giant feathered snake full of eyes with fire all over its body According to the stories it appears when people destroy the forests, just by looking at it you go into a catatonic state and go crazy

[@AIKO-fq8jb]

Imagine that you have to cut trees or kill animais at the area to trigger the boss fight

[@captaindanger13]

My mini-theory is that the fatui harbinger constellation wheel is the order that we'll fight the harbingers as weekly bosses starting from childe going counter clockwise which would technically mean we'll fight columbina before capitano

[@aayanchiron9770]

1:57 capitano will just turn him into a cooked tortilla wrap within seconds 4:33 skirk also gonna turn him into a tortilla wrap lmao

[@robertmelconde8151]

my highly candidate fatui weekly boss in natlan would be columbina because dottore and capitano would be a high chance to snezhnaya(important characters but possible 3 of them have deathflag in natlan). If columbina will be a playable it will be a huge lore about the project of dottore and some harbingers. I wish sandrone will be playable(my speculation area is mondstadt. Monsdstadt doesn't have a weekly fatui boss for now)

[@itav5523]

Since we got the letter about Capitano going to Natlan very early (in 3.1), I'm curious to know what he has been doing in there for so long.

[@Beutitao]

Nantlan’s aq won’t be the last one before Snezhnaya’s. We know for sure that Sumeru’s aq isn’t finished yet, we might as well witness the scene in which Dottore burns the Irminsul. Maybe we’d get other aqs for Mondstadt and Inazuma (similar to the Liyue one that took place in the Chasm)

[@igustibagusthresnamardhika4880]

I hope in natlan we will get traveler strength development both in the story and the gameplay of course

[@pacificnebula4899]

When I think of the name "Capitano" and this character's design, my immediate thoughts for a boss theme would be something similar to the OST "Die Mittsommernacht Fantasie". Use strings (especially cellos) as the foundation with electric and Spanish guitars. Make the first phase with the Spanish guitar. Compose it so it sounds evil yet warm. Whatever backstory Capitano has, try to match it with the Spanish guitar. As the second phase becomes more dangerous and frantic, slowly introduce the electric guitar in the transformation phase. This character will have zero EDM and feel both gothic and Spanish. He will have an Elden Ring vibe, heavily supported by strings. Percussion: Use the Peruvian Cajón. Although a rather bright instrument, I think it could be used if tuned in post production. It would add that latin American feel and certain rythms would act as war drums or knights marching. Bandoneón: I think this latin American accordion could be used to blend in that Fatui theme. I don't know where you would put it, but its deeper tones could probably add a sense of judgment and "evil spanish" vibes to it. To match Il Capitano’s reference to the actual Italian play, add either a bright flute or violin that is outcasted in the second phase. Have it pop out and frantic as to signify Il Capitano’s rather scared nature. (Only if the Genshin character has a strong relation to the irl character)

[@yurilover1248]

The only character i care about and want to see in Natlan is the best/strongest Harbinger Columbina 😌

[@shushzai]

hoping GOATHIMtano and PEAKttore are playable in natlan or soon😭🙏🙏

[@cielhunterzzzz]

I think Columbina will be the next weekly boss because the counterclockwise on the Fatui harbinger constellation banner starting from Childe seems to be true.

[@Boorosan]

I'm surprised we dont see marionette in Fontaine. Eventhough she's mentioned in WQ

[@nyxsiren8403]

I don't think we will meet a new harbinger other than Capitano in Natlan. Arlecchino and Tartaglia said they will leave for Snezhnaya to join Project Stuzha. Columbina gives me diviner vibes. She's probably working with Pierro to make sure things go smoothly in final phase of The Tsaritsa's plan. Pulcinella and Pantalone have no reason to leave Snezhnaya. Sandrone is probably too busy with her research to care for anything else. Dottore is getting name dropped a lot in Arlecchino SQ so maybe he might make an apperance but it's nation of war. It's not something he would be interested in. However Pierro knows Capitano is a self-righteous man. He might see that as a hindrance to his plan and send Dottore to make sure things go as he wants.

[@RaineStormmm]

I just want Columbiaaa lmaoo

[@Error_Redacted]

I think the next weekly boss is gonna be Columbo following the pattern on the Fatui Cons wheel

[@Tartarboi]

All i could think of what role Childe will play once more in the next chapter, is glimpses of his past will once more seep into the story like fontaine did *(coming from a 4.0. Childe main btw)*

[@Best-SiLenZ]

After Arlecchino's out, I'm sure that Genshin always make the playable characters atleast in neutral to good in alignment. And that mean I'm very sure that we have to fight Dottore some day, he would be dead or unplayable for some reason.

[@coconeko7097]

Believing the order on the Fatui Harbinger card starting from Tartaglia up counterclockwise, most likely Columbina will be the next Fatui boss but damn I wouldn’t be surprised if Dottore broke this trend because with the primal fire burning Irminsul, I would be surprised if this was a way to betray them, he’s a madman. As for where the gnosis is, Nini Jooni made a video recently on why Bennett could be harbouring the gnosis and maybe Columbina could know and give us indirect hints about it (because of her possible connection to Istaroth idk). Arlecchino’s power connected to Pyro would make sense if her birth parents left her there for a time before being taken into the House of the Hearth by Crucabena.

[@oceanangel2896]

I might be delulu but I wanna save the Columbina boss for the Mondstadt expansion. Imagine the two estranged children of Istaroth duking it out

[@sokol1235]

It was stated top 3 harbringers have power that can conquer that of an archons. Yet we havent seen any of them in action wich makes me wonder how actually strong is Capitano

[@nagorepalaciosdelafuente]

I think that we are gonna receive some kinda Power Up in Natlan cause It´s an emergency at this point, I believe that the fight against Arlecchino is setting us to train or to get stronger, cause eventually we are gonna need it

[@Bloeb731]

i’m still waiting for sandrone to appear in 4.x

[@rippy4260]

Mini theory, the abyss sibling managed to obtain the pyro gnosis before, linked his destiny and journey in the irminsul, then they went back to sumeru were caribert's story happened, then the sinner happened and the abyss sibling was freed from destiny, hence why nahida managed to find information or traces of the sibling's journey, maybe even in the abyss but that would defeat the whole porpuse of the whole story of sumeru, so for the plots sake it would be up to a certain point where suddenly irminsul wasnt registering more of the sibling, if we are repeating the journey or a similar one, maybe, we somehow manage to get thw pyro gnosis and become the pyro archon??? Crazy and flawed theory as always

[@pamafa3147]

Going by the wheel order, my guess is Columbina as the Archon Quest boss, and Capitano after her in someone's story quest

[@arsee4108]

If you look at the harbinger wheel, the next boss will be Columbine, and then Capitano.

[@JDGayBoiFromHeck]

There's a pretty well developed and supported theory that bennett has the pyro gnosis

[@avarees8331]

i think tartaglia is gonna die in natlan finally getting recognized by capitano and to close his story or in snezhnaya with something to do with project stuzha. Cuz im seeing a pattern here, in every 3rd nation where a harbinger appears they die. signora - mondstat - liyue - inuzama - dead scara - mondstat - inazuma - sumeru - kinda died tartaglia - liyue - fontaine - ??? or im wrong and missed a point where a harbinger appeared and forgot to mention lmao

[@primogem5197]

That is totally wrong 😂

[@oneandonly8746]

he will die in khaenriah where he will fight Pierro as the final harbinger

[@xeroc4691]

I personally think we'll get capitano dotorre and columbina in natlan. 1, 2, 3

[@Ash_McSticks]

If Capitano is #1 and Pierro isn't considered one of the eleven, I wonder if you'd be willing to make a video speculating who the missing Harbinger is?

[@tartnouveau3652]

I feel like Sandrone will show up before Natlan as they are probably tied to Fontaine if they are Alain Guillotine

[@revhounder8425]

What if after the fight with the Harbingers with tsarita (am i correct she is the cryo archon?) we might get the teyvat interlude chapter because of the abyss interruption since its been a while since we last saw them what if their purpose was to make the fatui gather all the gnosis and the abyss stole all of the gnosis to tsarita including her's just my speculation and theory its interesting to fight along side with the harbingers i mean

[@opalglass8101]

What if the "ressurection" mentioned in the title of the Archon Quest has something to do with the Traveler's abilities?! I fully support the ressurection has something to do with the Third Desender, tho.

[@rain_drop23]

I love Dottore so much 😂 btw very good video!!!

[@felix_bp]

Tbh I think Signora will be in Natlan 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@lratioyourmom5608]

i want sandrone... can you talk about sandrone?

[@AlexisNess-mn4zw]

Do you mind making a theory on as to why Childe was declared guilty?Neuv makes a hypothesis but its never explained.

[@SiliconOneFour]

I think it was just part of Focalors' plan, get Childe to fight the whale to buy us time

[@AlexisNess-mn4zw]

@@SiliconOneFour Yeah Neuv says it might have been that but how did Focalor know that even if she did sense primordial sea water on him?Or rather whales traces

[@SnowCroww]

I dont know if happen again with dottore at least wanderer need appear here just saying ( he saying he want a revenge )

[@hiimbobbyo631]

Tbh I’m kind of convinced that arlechinno being 4th is a red herring, she very well might be the strongest of them all, keep in mind she doesn’t mind ppl making assumptions about her because it keeps her truth hidden.

[@v0id]

It does line up with her character, and the fact that she seems pretty confident she can kill dottore if not for their roles as harbingers. But I've always found the ranked by strength thing weird because how is childe who was trained in the abyss and has foul legacy not stronger than a banker and a dwarf

[@alexandertran2442]

Kind of reminds of another no.4. Ulquiorra from Bleach

[@Ash-qd2ke]

I’m just putting it out there: for people who played HI3rd and played through the Elysian Realm. Aponia’s fight against Raiden Mei is the perfect way to fight Columbina in a boss fight. I won’t spoil the outcome of the fight but it’s so easy to create a boss fight where we fight characters much stronger than us and “win”. After all, the Elysian Realm arc has 3 of such boss battles.

[@user-pm1vs7bw9t]

Imagine

[@k.duelist4913]

I have hunch that Varka is indeed The Cap'n 🎉🎉🎉

[@Golden12500]

Honestly Dottore is so out of his mind I wouldn't be surprised if he backstabs Capitano to get the Gnosis and then eats it to turn into the weekly boss. It's the kind of unhinged I expect of Star Rail and I hope something wacky happens with such a cartoony villain

[@saqibsheikh4156]

8:04 music?

[@SiliconOneFour]

At Dawn and Dusk from Enkanomiya!

[@isaiahhaley4816]

wouldn't it make more sense for snezhnaya to find the cryo gnosis instead of the pyro one being lost we see pierro and possibly the tsaritsa playing chess with the anemo and geo gnosis but no sign of the cryo one which is weird plus since natlan is a nation of war so it makes more sense if they get the gnosis with a battle or match all other harbengers got the gnosis through the rchons ideals so it makes sense if they get the pyro gnosis this way

[@mallum4]

i disagree with the signora bit she shows up takes a gnosis and then shows up later fights you then dies if you dont read the lore which most people dont you know nothing about her and its just a wasted character her death has no significance to the story overall and is just a shoehorned boss fight

[@badistbrother8384]

Naw. They already showed Childe early in Fontaine, their not doing that again.

[@VirtualLoyalist06]

Not really, Childe in the beta was actually our "Paimon", he's described as the one that travels with the traveler. Even if they scrapped it, Childe perfectly suits our shounen rival trope, the one that gets stronger with us. He'll meet with Skirk at some point and if Mihoyo is smart, Childe will be at the tournament arc in Natlan.

[@valnoroy3744]

​@VirtualLoyalist06 Ngl, it would make sense for childe to go to the tournament, since he loves to spar with everyone besides Columbina.

[@pineapplem6967]

i believe, Capitano is the pyro dragon sovereign!

[@TheBilayer]

hehe Instead of resurrecting Signora, Doctore will resurrect Crucabena. (My heart goes Waku Waku) Doctore and Crucabena are partner in crime Signora to Doctore who?

[@axtonstorm6210]

I think also this is when the doctor will make hus move on sumeru to burn the tree
