The fact that the game itself literally forgets rukkhadevata entirely (some info about different objects, characters' voicelines etc.) makes this even more heartbreaking. But at least, as zhongli and xiao said, we are the witnesses and will never erase her existence from our memory 😔

[@illyachan5901]

Here's the thing though, even if we remember rudevaka, we aren't IMUNE to memory alteration. Remember when we walked outside the city when in the loop part of the quest? Those memories are gone. Not even the player controlling the traveler gets to see them, because the traveler themself will never remember them. Out memory can be altered, but we're under the illusion that it can't because we currently remember rudevaka. I wonder if that'll come back to bite us eventually.

[@Seblak]

@@illyachan5901 ...That's a good point. They can't delete the players memories, but they can achieve a similar effect by not showing us what the traveler is looking at.

They don't follow the story & lore, they don't explore, they don't do world quests, all they do is grinding for artefacts, do events, pull, and rant if they got trash artefacts, that's all I hear from them whenever they talk about this game. And maaan I can confidently say that they're missing out a LOT of great things this game has to offer, I mean I know it's their choice and they can do whatever they want in this game, but for me it's such a shame that they can't enjoy this game as much as I do.

That would have been amazing personally I would have loved that...That's the only part which made me not like the Inazuma archon quest as much...And about Venti I won't say much we know we all love him...and his story is far from over we all know that, Zhongli was a "perfect" man even before we started the archon quest so he didn't need any character development which is sad but it is what it is...Mad respect for him tho he did what a Archon should and he saved Xiao are u kidding me Xiao is so precious even Zhongli knows that LOL only respect for my man.

Just my opinion though. We still don't know as much about Venti, which is a shame, but not sure how much there is to him we don't know, and Zhongli is an old being whose story is all over Liyue, in stories and legends - there is not much character development he could have, the one that had to go through the development was Liyue itself, and I actually didn't mind that at all.

In the end Rukkha knew that the memory of her life had become one with the story of the forbidden knowledge. No other archon had power over knowledge like her so she was the only one who could erase it completely. She had to not only physically fight it but fight it IN CONCEPT because it itself is a concept.The very idea of it is part of it's presence. What I wondered though, is if what the Doctor told Nahida wasn't immediately reintroducing some of the forbidden knowledge directly to Irminsul by telling it to her? Is what the Fatui and Abyss are doing, pushing the boundaries of Teyvats "laws", not part of the forbidden knowledge?

OMG SAMMMEE

[@paominHaokip2203]

Sumeru is just packed with emotional damage , playing the archon quest sent chills down my spine unlike any other archon quest

[@lmeobuh7009]

After listening to the song twice ( be4 and after the quest ), now i really want to stay at your...

[@aidenreed680]

No stop we don't need another dose of depression

[@AlexanderXion]

After i saw that 3 chair in Oasis i really smile with tears because the three finally reunited in somewhere else and do whatever they want know since they no longer have any problems left

[@anname7373]

The oasis is going to crumble to sand within a few years

[@bamshakfwangyil1301]

Seeing Rukkhadevata in the genshin anime is gonna hit harder than a truck

[@siliconhawk]

imagine if most of the anime is like a prequel to the main story building up the world before the traveller twins came to be

[@felreizmeshinca7459]

Finally the slow songs too got a highlight. My favourite still stands: Moonlit Night in Sumeru (Flute) Languid & Quiet Moment (Sitar) Evergreen Wish Flickering Shadows of Trees / Vagrant Wandering (Piano) / A Drowsy Sensation (Sitar) Vimara Village Village Surrounded by Green Honorary mentions: Vanarana Transparent Night

The moment I heard this song, I knew what's in store for us and that there will be crying. I always related the tune with a sense of yearning at 00:16, probably Rukhdevta missing her own people. The flute later on gives a general sense of sadness, but the melody rather is full of blessings for her own people, that they finally dream and live long.

[@sbadigliodallanoia3963]

This has officially become my life's own OST, lol Imagine finding peace after years and years of suffering. This. This is what comes to my mind if I think about this kind of situation.

[@ej2958]

I love how certain places in every region give away part of the archon's ost

[@KeifthsKeith]

HANDS DOWN ONE OF THE BEST ARCHON QUEST EVER.

[@joisaita6522]

More than her sacrifice what is tragic that the only solution is remove her from "memories" Idk about others but that was more cruel than death for me. I hate the thought of forgetting any memory in general and this is about such a kind, selfless and pure hearted God just like Makoto. I was smacking my pc table while crying I couldn't take the anger and sadness... Thank God at least there will be people to remember Makoto and Traveler about Rukkha.

[@CrispBaker]

4.2 rolls round: YOU AINT SEEN SHIT

[@chronistderkonigin1116]

So true… 😭😭😭 Every time I hear that song again… I too almost have to cry again… 😥😥😥

[@Zoalde]

Whenever this songs comes up I star crying 😭

[@MomoiroMomo]

And the story DID get even better with Fontaine. People will never know of Rukkhadevata's sacrifice, and I'm not sure if they will know of Focalors' either. Honestly... it's a little too devastating.

[@rainbowunicorn007]

sumeru has a special place in my heart. anything that reminds me of nahida makes me feel safe. :')

[@rustycoregamer]

3.2 Archon Quest left me a greater mental injuries than any relationship can..

[@Kaeha20]

Way before the version 3.2 were teased, I felt sad the moment I heard this music in the game for the first time, it has a somewhat sad feeling to something which cannot be reversed for the sake of a certain event and now I know why after completing the Archon Quest 😢.

[@africkinintrovert4041]

Even the Forest didn't remember

[@THcKtL]

Extremely beautiful

[@AraColdy]

Completely Agree, It's so beautiful😭💚

[@mr.h1083]

No tears. No sorrows. No regrets. Thank you Greater Lord Rukkhadevata… For everything.

[@arousedbanana6327]

As expected of the same people who made Honkai Impact, they really know how to make people cry.

[@paulomaximoff]

genshin is amazing, wonderful, beautiful, flawless....😭😭💚💚

[@romellrico6220]

i literally cried with this music after archon quest. its so beautiful.

[@TuhinSarkar-gu3vy]

Yes it does . Its my favourite song even before doing the Archon quest and every time the flute part plays it reminds me of that scene

[@felreizmeshinca7459]

Me at 3.1: Wow, I want Maha Rukkhadevata as a playable character. Hoyoverse at 3.2: *Erases her from existence*

[@cosmicboi1650]

Wanderer: "Cry louder!" Ok...fine...i will...Wanderer.. :( Wanderer: "Wait..let me be here with you."

[@cecily796]

"I don't understand... We just saved the world right...? Then... why am I crying...?" Come on Hoyo, just rip my heart out already- As if Scara's lowkey breakdown wouldn't be enough already you just HAD to pull this off didn't you, Hoyo?

[@indianchad]

hearing those lines from Nahida broke me down and the fact she forgot Rukkhadevata, the one person she looked up the most.

[@Merc7734]

Reminds me of Jeht's "Sorry, I just... I haven't... I'm sorry..."

[@cecily796]

@@Merc7734 Oh my Archons- Yes, you're so right, poor Jeht T-T

[@14rifky]

same vibe with Dango Daikazoku. if you have watched Clannad, you will understand T.T

[@blacklight683]

this is a song you can truly vibe and sleep to cuz it is Kandy for the ears, port ormos when you wake up

[@danialfarish8600]

This music will never sound the same ever again.

[@user-tb7fc7vc9x]

I havent played genshin in like a month ive been too hyperfixated on splatoon but this music still makes me sob 😭😭😭

[@陸天篤]

Me who felt emotional before the quest because it awaken memories from my childhood
