What Was The Narzissenkreuz Institute Doing In Fontaine? (Genshin Impact)

[@Raudent]

So... after the battle of the ordo vs the hunter, the ordo fell. But the resulting battle caused an explosion within elynas, which became the catalyst of melusine's birth The battle also incapacitated Seymour, and restarted in safe mode and memory loss

Rhinedottir did A LOT of stuff with consequences that she probably didn't intend, but such is the nature of a creator. She's made so many messes.

[@ThatOneGanyuMain]

I'm thinking that as much as we make Celestia out to be villains (which they probably are), they probably had to go down to Teyvat to fix the mess Rhinedotter and Khaenri'ah caused.

I've watched countless videos on Narzissenkreuz and this was the only one that i was able to watch without getting distracted. Great work!

[@ArgentDeer]

Oh man, this video honestly helped to clear up most of the brain fog I had regarding the Narzissenkreuz quests. Liked the quests, but trying to piece together where everything goes is a struggle, and this video is the only one for me that explained things clear enough to understand. Thank you, KlemenTime!

[@lesibalto1016]

This may be a hit or miss, but this is the first time we have an archon quest and the main world quest converge with each other , assuming the doomsday clock isnt a "to be continued" situation.

[@mathewgeorge121]

So now that the prophecy has passed there is no appocalypse coming rite, but what about the quest( book of revealing ) revealing a broken sky, is that related to Fontaine archon quest which is over or is it related to future archon quests ???

[@kotarouinugami1745]

In version 4.3, after gathering all the people related to Narzissenkreuz, it is possible to follow the Ordo's trail and eventually confront the Master. I did that quest first, so I had to tell the Master that I'll handle the apocalypse somehow. But if you do the archon quest first, you'll probably just tell him to pipe down, since the apocalypse is already averted.

[@unstable7505]

@@mathewgeorge121 The prophecy in the AQ has nothing (or very little) to do with the end of the world as described by Rene's world formula. There will still be an end of the world to face, and we are still the variable that will presumably prevent it.

[@pyrite2060]

end of the world predicted by the formula wasnt the flooding, that would end fontaine, (if everyone was dissolved) lbut would barely do anything to teyvat as a whole@@unstable7505

[@muhammadtaufiqurrahmana2945]

​@@kotarouinugami1745what? I didn't know you could do the world quest before doing the AQ. It's interesting to have different dialogue depending on which quest you play first

Dude is a legend. Besides making the most comprehensive lore recaps in Genshin, he's the first one I see that doesn't pronounce Alain as Elaine.

[@nathanielburkett9400]

You’re _mostly_ on point with the research and linking of names, facts, and events. It’s a really comprehensive summary on all fronts. One thing you got wrong was that Carter didn’t die to Rene’s attempt to cure his sickness with Abyssal means. Frankly that might have been a mercy, since Rene’s writings indicate that he was reduced to a miserable grotesque form, only capable of expressing pain and suffering. Further data alludes to Carter surviving to the point the Master was created from Lyris and Rene’s fusion, upon which he was likewise added to the gestalt to both free him from suffering and preserve his consciousness. Rene states he never gave up on saving Carter. Some of what Caterpillar says when he meets Ann and Seymour suggests that the Master removed Carter’s consciousness from the fusion and placed it into a Hilichurl, resulting in Caterpillar as another experiment in combating the prophecy.

[@bernie.gwapo.143]

Bruh the story is heartbreaking

[@kotarouinugami1745]

And if I understand it right, that dark blob in the institute, trapped in a magic circle, is what remains of Carter's body.

Thank you so much for this concise and complete video! I love Genshin's lore but all this merging conscience's thing and mixing the Ordo with the Institute was letting me so confused! Now I finally understand who that "master"was! ❤

[@dasytaylor]

This!! Thank you, this thorough explanation of yours finally cleared up the fog in my head about the characters and events regarding Narzissenkreuz! The visuals also greatly helped me follow and pay attention to the narration so all the work that went into this video was truly worth it!

[@bossofdeath7862]

Its nice how you use maps like a king and general channel to explain genshin lore. I understand better this way

[@baquithemonkey5330]

Thanks for a freat summary. Im terrible with names. And with each quest been separated in patches, I forget some important details. This helped me clear my mind and remember important details.

[@purple_sapphire]

This is soo messed up and scary wth... Imagine if this is all happening in our world. But tbh tho, this is what made me unable to leave Genshin lol. The lore and the stories are just crazy complicated and very engaging. 😮 Btw, thank you for your hard work making this video. Without you, I wouldn't be able to makes sense what is happening in Genshin world. Honestly there is still soo many misteries in Teyvat. No wonder our twin asked us to take our time to learn about Teyvat. Can't wait for more reveal.

[@kotarouinugami1745]

Many things from this story were clearly inspired by real-world events. Struggle between rich and poor. Hostage crises. Orphans. Secret societies. Scientists's concern about the survival of the world.

I just want to say, KlemenTime, you are amazing. Thank you for these. I know it often goes unnoticed, but the hardwork you put into explaining all of this with the editing makes it so good. Great as always ❤

[@samarthgautam]

Also, big appreciations to @hannahmendi for the animations. As a graphic designer myself, I know how long it takes to get ideas and make those short sequences which often go unnoticed

[@inthedetails5467]

Hmmm so it seems Fontaine is doing it’s repeating cycle of destruction. Even the key “characters” and their roles repeat themselves. But it seems this current cycle will be the last and is permanent.

[@DAtreuh]

Loved the whole quest from beggining to end, such lovely characters and a extensive, but detailed chapters The sword looks cool, especially the ousia arkhe on kaeya

[@dou5397]

A little correction, the institute of natural philosophy was flooded way later than the Narzissenkreuz one, and Carter was older than the kids from the institute .

True but I wouldn’t say it as a correction cause I didn’t specify the dates they were flooded and the age difference of Carter from the other orphans

[@tackyakiii]

Thanks so much for this video!! really needed this with the new AQ for 4.2 coming up :D

[@theorize999]

Great work on the video.. if I may offer a bit of constructive criticism; it’s a bit hard to make out what your saying sometimes, i listen while I work and often have to rewind it because I didn’t catch what you said. If listening in a quiet area I’mits fine, but you don’t want to rely on people listening in silence. I think I know why you do it like that, if you want to keep the breathy quality but still be intelligible, first try compression, im sure your software has some vocal presets for compression, try one for radio or podcasts, if not give it some boost with fairly fast attack and release times and a threshold of -20 to -25db and a soft knee, if that’s not enough try making a copy of the voice track and layer it with the original and EQ out everything below 1khz and everything above 3khz, add a bit of saturation and maybe a high frequency enhanced after the saturation, keep the saturation very mild, to where you can barely hear any change, you’re not trying to change the timbre of the sound just want to make it stick out a bit more. Thanks for the video keep up the good work I love this kind of content 😊

You’re my savior to my shit reading comprehension as a lore enjoyer 😭I did a part of the quest of the new Narzissenkreuz quest of 4.2 and I’m sorta confused. Is the doomsday mentioned the prophecy? Because I’m inclined to think it’s not, rather something similar to it. I already did the archon quest for Fontaine, so the prophecy should have passed already 😭

[@astralsloth]

So if Remus established civilization before Egeria, were they humans or oceanids? I am a little confused as I thought human civilization began when Egeria committed the sin of turning the oceanids into humans. Or did the oceanids see the civilization that Remus built that Egeria now ruled and wanted to join them on land?

[@astralsloth]

The creation of human civilization specifically in Fontaine, not the entirety of Teyvat, to clarify

[@rinmaIa]

they were already oceanid-turned-humans in remuria era. egeria commited her sin all the way back since the defeat of the original hydro sovereign, and as a result she was locked up by celestia. she was only released after remuria was destroyed bc fontaine needed a deity (since remus was gone)
