I mean if Durin, Elynas and Albedo were Gold's direct creations. That would make them siblings and that would mean Elynas's daughters would be Albedo's Nieces
a cute easter egg i noticed: when you go to the cave in sumeru that also unlocked with Fontaine you can see a bird, frog and a squirrel standing in front of one of the pearl fossils. just walk carefully so you don’t chase them away
@@piyushverma7534 the new area that unlocked with fontaine. where you go through a cave like passage to get to the waypoint that was already unlocked. right after you come across the geoshrooms on the left
Now that I’ve finished the video, I wanted to post this here for anyone who wanted clarification about the Narsissenkreuz Adventure since I had to watch a few lore videos to understand it lol. For the characters: Al = Alain Guillotin, Jak = Jakob Ingold, Petit Chou = og Mary Ann, Kate = Carter, Ney =René, Mori = Seymour They were all orphans that lived together in Narzissenkreuz Institute. Alain and Mary Ann went to work for the Marechaussé, creating more meka, including Seymour which Alain made for Mary Ann. Rene and Jakob were taken by their guardian to Sumeru. You might remember the name Rene from the lore found in the giant ruin guards in Sumeru. Basically Rene started researching Kahenriahn tech and when Jakob got sick, did smth with that tech to turn him into a superhuman. That’s why Jakob in the Melusine quest says he’s not part of the Abyss. He’s not a kahenriahn who got turned into an abyss monster, but a Fontainian who got turned on purpose. Rene finds the whole world formula, which confirms Rednas‘ samsara theory about how the whole world runs in cycles over and over, except Rene thinks the world will end for good this time. The abyss we see during Canotila‘s quest is a version of that future. (Canotila probably sees it as a nice place bc Melusines are made from an Abyssal creature’s blood, so they view things differently like Paimon being a rainbow balloon.) they form the Ordo to research ways to prevent the apocalypse or at least survive it. Anyways, Carter gets sick and Rene and Jakob propose to do the same thing they did to Jakob but it doesn’t work and he just kinda becomes a monster that’s always screaming. Alain and Mary Ann find out about it and cut ties with both Rene and Jakob. (This is why Al and Jak were always fighting in the Adventure). So another place we heard Jakobs name is in the research into Primordial Water bc that’s one of the ways Rene thought of saving everyone, is to turn everyone into water, then form Oceanids that’ll survive the apocalypse. He dissolves himself (hence why Ney in the Adventure quest is already dissolved), Carter is also dissolved as well as other ppl and together they form a kind of new person who becomes the new leader of the Ordo (hence the character of Colonel Kate). Remember the whole fight within Elynas, that injured him and created the Melusines? That fight was between the new Carter and Jakob‘s Ordo and Alain and Mary Ann‘s Marechaussé meka army. During this fight, Mary Ann dies, and Lyrus (the Oceanid who was the head of the orphanage) sort of sacrifices herself to rebirth Mary Ann as an oceanid (I’m shaky on the details of how here but the new Oceanid is formed from both Lyrus and Mary Ann). That’s the blue haired Mary Ann in the quest. In a Dream, she makes Ann and decides to force her away to give her her own freedom. That’s why Ann has memories both of being Mary Ann (ie calling Seymour silly dog and all the adventure stuff) as well as memories of Lyrus (all that stuff about how the children like to play, the snacktime after the bell, etc)
For misc extra, this is stuff I know less about, but wanted to share anyways. The three levels of the Institute (which I legit got lost in the sauce when I was doing the quest lol) each represent a different generation, that’s why you probably noticed the two Holy Blades have different names. They’re each part of a different generation‘s story. The first level represented a few other characters with less importance imo so I low key forgot all their names, but one of them was Basil Elton and there were two guys with the last name Guillotin and Ingold. The Guillotin guy is the one who took guardianship of Alain and Mary Ann and gave them his last name. Ingold was the one to take Jakob and Rene to Sumeru with him. This generation lived in the Institute before the cataclysm btw. Basil joined the Fontaine navy and eventually retired as a caretaker in the Institute, so she probably was one of the people taking care of Alain and Mary Ann and their generation of orphans. She had to go back and fight during the cataclysm and I’m pretty sure she died then. You learn a bit more about her through one of the melusine side quests (the one who makes you hallucinate underwater ships if I remember correctly).
@manel7786 Also to add the pocketwatch we find as the treasure in Annapausis is the watch given by Alain to Rene but when Rene dissolved himself in the Primordial Waters to become the New Carter his watch was the only thing left behind and somehow moved into that chest. Plus on the day Basil went to fight against Elynas and the abyssal beasts she left the green feather accessory to Jakob as he wanted to have it when he used to play role-playing games with his friends. P.s Can't wait to see if all these important characters ever tie into the Archon quests since Jakob has already been mentioned once. Also the whole Fontaine ppl submerging into the waters is nothing but Rene's plan to dissolve all of Fontaine. So they've to integrate them someway.
thank you so much!! i got nearly everything but Princess Lyris really brought a great deal of confusion. So Princess Lyris is different from Mary-Ann right? because I thought that Mary-Ann went through something traumatic and started creating fantasies where in the story she is Princess Lyris and needs to be saved
the only thing im now trying to make sense of is who are the four members of the Ordo. If Nazissenkreuz and Jakob are two then who are the other two? Caterpillar says that he joined much later and he wasn't seated at the round table so he doesn't count ig?
Although I don't completely disagree, when a quest is voiced, I feel guilty to skip through the text because I read it faster and they worked so hard to dub it...
Same lol. The archon quests take so long for me to do because I always listen to every voiced word even though I could just read and skip in a few seconds.
57:06 I realized after a while of collecting crystalflies from those plants that they're probably carnivorous plants which are supposed to catch insects but end up catching crystalflies instead lol
So, a little bit of a fun factoid about Iara, the fishing Melusine (and by extension Delaroche) because this is the first time I've seen someone do this without interacting with the fishing lady. Delaroche is indeed the fishing lady but she does have "quests" you can do, to start her quest chain, you'd need to fish on the fishing spot next to her and she'll call you out. She has 4 different quests that spans 4 whole days. This is important because you'll know that Delaroche just sucks at fishing. Which brings us back to Iara. When she said "I got this hobby from Delaroche", the MC actually has dialogue choices pertaining knowing Delaroche, with both options essentially saying "Wait, you learned from her...? I feel sorry for you."
for the caribert thing, caribert was the one who dropped the glass after seeing his real face under it. In the dream world it was already broken since they left to go back to the sinner
Reads multiple pages about how Rene and Jakob experimented eating Elynas's blood. Hears "Jakob and another person came and ate my blood" Rednas: "oh that must have been my brother " 😂
I love rewatching quests like this after having done them myself already. There's always stuff I might have missed or dots that connect once you have the full picture. Good example is how Jakob was standing on that hill observing Mamere painting. I didn't notice him myself when I did this quest
2:15:00 I think it's because of difference in perception of Melusines and us! In the end, Melusines are born from an abyssal beast. Elynas himself was having fun while he was "exploring" the world. He only stopped when he realised the thing he found fun was hurting people. Maybe it's similar to that? EDIT: 4:28:35 Sword of brilliant valor was in Venti's story quest!!! He made it up for free liquor😭
The sword of Brilliant Valor is from Venti's Story Quest where we discovered Stanley wasn't actually Stanley. There was also a shield of something but I can't remember the name lol.
finally finished this, hats off to you to voicing these quests. I love how they joined all the world quests together at the end c: Would write a 6 page comment but I'm also a lil bit clueless. Surely they'll answer our questions next patch
I...I'll just say this: The bell/chime BGM in the Narzissenkreuz Ordo realm made me cry 🥲 (There are 4 variations of the theme, my personal favourite is the fully orchestral one ♫ ♪)
The water animals are so very...French. Gives off French revolution/world wars 1-2 vibes and a lot of the philosophies of Socoialism, freedom, and the many artistic movements from the renosance to anarcists. Jak especially is giving me revolutionist calling down the very idea of a monarchy. Kate has a bit of a Napoleon vibe sending masses of troops to their death and slightly crazy. Just so many nods to French culture and thinking. Rene even, possibly Rene Descartes famed for "I think, therefore. I am" which nicely explains the forms they and the "dragon" take just being the way it is. Another more subtle nod is the little girl hearing "father" who turns out to be a God...Joan of Arc?
Basically the Abyss Order uses Abyssal Power, but is not the Abyss. Gah, so hard to explain....Hmm, okay so, the Abyss is a thing, you could just consider it a different dimension really. Jakob uses it's power because he was compatible with it and then further strengthened that bond with Elynas' blood and flesh, who is also from the Abyss. Also the person Jakob came with is Rene. Side note: Lumine's sibling is not the only reason things happen in the world, this whole shebang was caused by another group of friends...well, friends who turned into enemies and whatnot. Still, I do appreciate all your theorycrafting!
- The Abyss is a whole another place - Abyss Order is an organisation founded by Clothar Alberich for the Khaenriahns after the cataclysm aka after they got cursed - Jakob Ingold is a human who experimented with powers in Teyvat and ended up being able to use abyssal power (much like Ajax having his Foul Legacy) and is not related to the Abyss Order
The lore you learn in these 3 quests are connected, as far as I can tell the diver guy is basically just to get you into the area, there is a follow up quest with him that's unrelated to the history of Fontaine. The tl;dr is that the oceanid animals are all based on the real life children-turned-researchers from the institute, and there was some bad stuff that went down. The Jacob from the paint quest is the Jacob from the notes / history, and he actually isn't (as far as we know) aligned with the abyss directly. A lot of this is pieced together by tying the notes into the dialogue and names, there are still a lot of details missing and it's expected there will be more follow up quests to these (like with the Sumeru desert quests). I have to imagine the archon quest will reference some of the history at some point but probably most of the details will be in the side quests.
1:52:58 I know it might be boring to read this enigmatic page but these actually give a history of what happened in fontaine and all the world quests that you did. The follow up for all the history is meeting Narzissenkreuz dude which we will do in the next patch
Thank you very much Rednas. These long word full quests are really stressing for my dyslexia. So you posting these make me play along and follow the story
Coming back as im watching cause thank you so much for all the extra dialogue with the eremites during the start of the mamere quest, i skipped it when i played thru to just fight and it was actually funny as hell
Thank you so much!!! I was playing the quests at the same time as you so that I dont have to read the dialog (i lose focus on the lore when they're not voiced ahahha) so it was really helpful + your voice is sooo nice ahahha
1:59:00 the "you stay hydrated too" snapped me out of my hyperfocus on my studies and actually helped me realize I really did need some water, so ty. your videos are great to put in the bg tbh, your voice is very calming and your vibe honestly helps me focus better than music or silence so thank you :)
It warms my heart to see the efforts you put in your videos, like your voice must be dead now but how blessed are our ears. Anyway, hope you have a nice day, and keep up those jrnfjinfrnkefjcnkrfk videos c:
There's more. Much more after this. I hope you played "Fortress of Meropide" before next part of Ann of Narxissenkreuz. This quest kept me confused till the end. Good that I didn't have search what I was doing. It all made sense in the very end of these 3 quests.
47:40 but for me it actually was a while. I started doing the quest but after seeing that big blue pop-up i realized that it was one of those big quests. Because i had a lot of things to do in the game, i stopped that quest and went to the village one week later 😂
this is the first time i've seen your shortcut wheel and i'm so fascinated. Most other shortcut wheels i see are set up similar to mine so this was like a pleasant yet silly little surprise. lol anyway, back to watching.
The world quests were so fun. I have only 2 quests left in Fontaine haha, and yet only now started Aranara in sumeru. Late player but I have finished all the archon quests.
There is a second part to the first quest that you did with that virgil guy. It starts at the same location that you started the original quest next to the statue of the seven
Hmm, that's strange. At 1:29:03 , I didn't get a quest to find 3 strange parts. After talking to Serene, I was immediately asked to return to Mamere like in 2:32:23. I didn't even complete any Melusine quests like Rednas did, and I only have 1 strange part. Btw, thank you for your videos. Every time I complete a quest, I always rewatch on your channel 😁
4:26:!4 thank goodness you took a break right before the legendary samsara that being said i didnt have to do this cuz i started the puzzle and thought i'd do it later only to later realize that the puzzle was solved by itself somehow, i only had to do the one at the second floor
After watching this and going through the quest again, I’m wondering if Elynas is the giant whale that Tartaglia mentioned having a dream of, since the first time the traveler feels the paint hallucination, she sees a flying white fish, and the sound you hear when she’s resonating with the paint sounds like whale noise? 🤔
Ive seen that theory around but his body does not match with a whale, his skull is smaller than the rest of his body and his teeth don't resemble a whale at all, he did ate boats and buildings but he was so huge it was probably easy to just walk on the water even if it was deep maybe it would be possible if elynas original form on the abyss was the one of the whale but i doubt that, i'm sure the whale thing is gonna be answered on the main story at least parcially
I love theese world quest videos, i don't have the attention span to read the dialog myself, so i use theese videos as Background audio as well as like a lore recap,
I don't think her brother came here cause we already got lore before this where her brother met the Kahenriahn who told him that she was princess and then Dainsleif also told us that his sister stopped travelling with him which means before completing the journey he was approached by Abyss or maybe he has not been to all the places we are going outside of the Archon or story quest.
Doctor: Rednas dubbing with French accent isn't real and he can't hurt you Rednas dubbing with French accent: watch me Just joking though, I really enjoy your videos :)
After finishing everything I had to watch yours. First is the reactions and thoughts, second is the pronunciations. I really not sure how to say some of their names correctly so I kinda curious. I like all the world quests, pretty nice. Melusines ones was cute.
I was taking photos from my laptop when talking to Elynas on my account it was so sweet and wholesome. But it’s bittersweet. And reminds me how my dad won’t sacrifice sht for my wellbeing… Elynas are you looking to adopt a how to train your dragon fan from 2011? When the first movie came out???? Awesome Father alert Elynas
there is an ending with the diving man that betrays you (there is actually quite a bit more to that quest). i think it picks but up again by the statue of the 7?
I did the mary-ann quest before the melusine quest and it was so confusing at the end of the melusine quest that why are we not talking about what happened in the other quest and tgat we know who mary-ann is. So this was the order that you had to do the quest. They really should put a prerequisite quest so we can't do the mary-ann quest unless we have already completed the melusine quest
4:51:35 wow i didnt even know there was a unique phase to this. I just know there was an event with ocaenids if thats what you are talking about? but i wasnt playing that time
You can hunt down Virgil if you go meet Sonny at the spot you met Virgil at. I also have a 6 page comment full of lore but I seriously don't know how to start that, so if there is anything in particular you wish to know, ask, and I shall answer.
I'm a mobile gamer and I'm so unbelievably frustrated I can't do the part 3 of the clear the water formation at all!!! My characters seem to not be able to jump high enough at all and I'm always stuck at the last part no matter how many hours i spend trying to just do it and I've given up although it really upsets me so much and i have no idea what I'm supposed to do
I play on PC and it was even hard for me to jump on the platform, maybe you should try with a taller character or a character with an exploration advantage like Wanderer or Keqing to get up higher. Best of luck! 💜
Whoecer said that Melusine name sound Romanian is a big liar, those names sound nothing like Romanian names not even old names 😭 ok so I went back to Melusine Village and there is one Melusine that has a Romanian name and it's Cosanzeana , that's the only one . Also I've been investigating and all Melusine's name are baltic & latin mytologic names ( some a little chaged)
Next time you do these quests please turn up the in-game music. The ost is so quiet and it would give a better feeling if i could easily hear the music while you are reading the dialogs (and some of these ost's are really cool. I just wanna hear them again in the feel of being in the middle of the quest and not just going back there and listening to them again)
Fun fact: Elynas is almost certainly Durin and Albedo's sibling. So the Melusines are Albedo's nieces
Or his aunt
yeah nieces for sure. albedo is much older than what he looks like
I mean if Durin, Elynas and Albedo were Gold's direct creations. That would make them siblings and that would mean Elynas's daughters would be Albedo's Nieces
yes that's what the original comment said@@kamizakip9925
And they’re both painting!
I love how these story videos range from 1-9 hours long its the best haha
a cute easter egg i noticed:
when you go to the cave in sumeru that also unlocked with Fontaine you can see a bird, frog and a squirrel standing in front of one of the pearl fossils. just walk carefully so you don’t chase them away
Wait... where in Sumeru?
@@piyushverma7534 the new area that unlocked with fontaine. where you go through a cave like passage to get to the waypoint that was already unlocked. right after you come across the geoshrooms on the left
Where in sumeru?
In the desert path, near the cliff side at the first entrance. The cliff you walk through during the opening of the first archon quest.
Now that I’ve finished the video, I wanted to post this here for anyone who wanted clarification about the Narsissenkreuz Adventure since I had to watch a few lore videos to understand it lol.
For the characters:
Al = Alain Guillotin, Jak = Jakob Ingold, Petit Chou = og Mary Ann, Kate = Carter, Ney =René, Mori = Seymour
They were all orphans that lived together in Narzissenkreuz Institute. Alain and Mary Ann went to work for the Marechaussé, creating more meka, including Seymour which Alain made for Mary Ann. Rene and Jakob were taken by their guardian to Sumeru. You might remember the name Rene from the lore found in the giant ruin guards in Sumeru. Basically Rene started researching Kahenriahn tech and when Jakob got sick, did smth with that tech to turn him into a superhuman. That’s why Jakob in the Melusine quest says he’s not part of the Abyss. He’s not a kahenriahn who got turned into an abyss monster, but a Fontainian who got turned on purpose. Rene finds the whole world formula, which confirms Rednas‘ samsara theory about how the whole world runs in cycles over and over, except Rene thinks the world will end for good this time. The abyss we see during Canotila‘s quest is a version of that future. (Canotila probably sees it as a nice place bc Melusines are made from an Abyssal creature’s blood, so they view things differently like Paimon being a rainbow balloon.) they form the Ordo to research ways to prevent the apocalypse or at least survive it.
Anyways, Carter gets sick and Rene and Jakob propose to do the same thing they did to Jakob but it doesn’t work and he just kinda becomes a monster that’s always screaming. Alain and Mary Ann find out about it and cut ties with both Rene and Jakob. (This is why Al and Jak were always fighting in the Adventure).
So another place we heard Jakobs name is in the research into Primordial Water bc that’s one of the ways Rene thought of saving everyone, is to turn everyone into water, then form Oceanids that’ll survive the apocalypse. He dissolves himself (hence why Ney in the Adventure quest is already dissolved), Carter is also dissolved as well as other ppl and together they form a kind of new person who becomes the new leader of the Ordo (hence the character of Colonel Kate).
Remember the whole fight within Elynas, that injured him and created the Melusines? That fight was between the new Carter and Jakob‘s Ordo and Alain and Mary Ann‘s Marechaussé meka army. During this fight, Mary Ann dies, and Lyrus (the Oceanid who was the head of the orphanage) sort of sacrifices herself to rebirth Mary Ann as an oceanid (I’m shaky on the details of how here but the new Oceanid is formed from both Lyrus and Mary Ann). That’s the blue haired Mary Ann in the quest. In a Dream, she makes Ann and decides to force her away to give her her own freedom. That’s why Ann has memories both of being Mary Ann (ie calling Seymour silly dog and all the adventure stuff) as well as memories of Lyrus (all that stuff about how the children like to play, the snacktime after the bell, etc)
For misc extra, this is stuff I know less about, but wanted to share anyways.
The three levels of the Institute (which I legit got lost in the sauce when I was doing the quest lol) each represent a different generation, that’s why you probably noticed the two Holy Blades have different names. They’re each part of a different generation‘s story.
The first level represented a few other characters with less importance imo so I low key forgot all their names, but one of them was Basil Elton and there were two guys with the last name Guillotin and Ingold. The Guillotin guy is the one who took guardianship of Alain and Mary Ann and gave them his last name. Ingold was the one to take Jakob and Rene to Sumeru with him. This generation lived in the Institute before the cataclysm btw.
Basil joined the Fontaine navy and eventually retired as a caretaker in the Institute, so she probably was one of the people taking care of Alain and Mary Ann and their generation of orphans. She had to go back and fight during the cataclysm and I’m pretty sure she died then. You learn a bit more about her through one of the melusine side quests (the one who makes you hallucinate underwater ships if I remember correctly).
DOING GODS WORK; THANK YOU SO MUCH; I WAS WRECKING MY BRAIN TRYING TO CONNECT EVERYTHING
@manel7786 Also to add the pocketwatch we find as the treasure in Annapausis is the watch given by Alain to Rene but when Rene dissolved himself in the Primordial Waters to become the New Carter his watch was the only thing left behind and somehow moved into that chest.

So, a little bit of a fun factoid about Iara, the fishing Melusine (and by extension Delaroche) because this is the first time I've seen someone do this without interacting with the fishing lady.
Delaroche is indeed the fishing lady but she does have "quests" you can do, to start her quest chain, you'd need to fish on the fishing spot next to her and she'll call you out. She has 4 different quests that spans 4 whole days. This is important because you'll know that Delaroche just sucks at fishing.
Which brings us back to Iara. When she said "I got this hobby from Delaroche", the MC actually has dialogue choices pertaining knowing Delaroche, with both options essentially saying "Wait, you learned from her...? I feel sorry for you."
for the caribert thing, caribert was the one who dropped the glass after seeing his real face under it. In the dream world it was already broken since they left to go back to the sinner
Reads multiple pages about how Rene and Jakob experimented eating Elynas's blood. Hears "Jakob and another person came and ate my blood"
Rednas: "oh that must have been my brother "

I love this whole lore!! The world formula and the humans becoming super humans and the 4 children it's all so interesting
4 children is alain mary-ann Jakob rene
These quests were crazy! I just wish they were voiced.

I...I'll just say this:
The bell/chime BGM in the Narzissenkreuz Ordo realm made me cry 🥲
(There are 4 variations of the theme, my personal favourite is the fully orchestral one ♫ ♪)
I really liked that one and it felt nostalgic for some reason
sir i am BEGGING YOU tell me the name of that piece before i end myself
The water animals are so very...French. Gives off French revolution/world wars 1-2 vibes and a lot of the philosophies of Socoialism, freedom, and the many artistic movements from the renosance to anarcists.

1:59:00 the "you stay hydrated too" snapped me out of my hyperfocus on my studies and actually helped me realize I really did need some water, so ty. your videos are great to put in the bg tbh, your voice is very calming and your vibe honestly helps me focus better than music or silence so thank you :)
I really do like these long videos, I like playing genshin and listening to them at the same time and they are good to fall asleep too
It warms my heart to see the efforts you put in your videos, like your voice must be dead now but how blessed are our ears. Anyway, hope you have a nice day, and keep up those jrnfjinfrnkefjcnkrfk videos c:
omg I can have this in the background while drawing later, good timing^^
There's more. Much more after this. I hope you played "Fortress of Meropide" before next part of Ann of Narxissenkreuz. This quest kept me confused till the end. Good that I didn't have search what I was doing. It all made sense in the very end of these 3 quests.
loving the longer videos sm !!
47:40 but for me it actually was a while. I started doing the quest but after seeing that big blue pop-up i realized that it was one of those big quests. Because i had a lot of things to do in the game, i stopped that quest and went to the village one week later 😂
this is the first time i've seen your shortcut wheel and i'm so fascinated. Most other shortcut wheels i see are set up similar to mine so this was like a pleasant yet silly little surprise. lol anyway, back to watching.
I've been watching this for like 3 days now whenever I have an extra hour of leisure. Rednas is too funny 4:50:52 I spill my drink
3:46:57 I just realized this but Is this story about Jakob, Mary-Ann, and Alain? Jak is Jakob, Ann is Mary-Ann, Al is Alain?
"ugh that purple guy! he's just awful!"
Me being also a FNAF fan: Yes. Yes indeed he is.
i literally just sat down with some coffee after finishing some assignments, thank you so much for this video i already know i will love it😽
The world quests were so fun. I have only 2 quests left in Fontaine haha, and yet only now started Aranara in sumeru. Late player but I have finished all the archon quests.
Our boi Rednas feeding us with content!! 🥖 LETS GOOO, I hope you enjoyed the questsss🌸
There is a second part to the first quest that you did with that virgil guy. It starts at the same location that you started the original quest next to the statue of the seven
Just got back home from work, and this is absolutely the best thing to come home to 🎉
thank god you posted this because i forgot the whole quest
2:10:44 yes smortttt boy
I am not sure if there's a theory but it feels like we getting pieces of Caribert quest
Hmm, that's strange.
At 1:29:03 , I didn't get a quest to find 3 strange parts. After talking to Serene, I was immediately asked to return to Mamere like in 2:32:23. I didn't even complete any Melusine quests like Rednas did, and I only have 1 strange part.
Btw, thank you for your videos. Every time I complete a quest, I always rewatch on your channel 😁
some chests have strange parts
Omg my lucky day i just cooked kabsa and i was waiting for this 🎉
Hope u doing well and had fun doing the quest ❤
i actually liked it sm BUT i haven’t completed the last part yet so yeah i’d probably watch till that part cuz i wanna hear your thoughts haha
35:27 wait that's Jakob isn't it?! So he just stands there watching the eremites bully the Melusine?? I never noticed him standing there
YESSSSSS i always watch ur vids instead of doing the quests myself god bless amen
I love the french accent you do, pretty accurate as my professors speak just like that 🤣
4:26:!4 thank goodness you took a break right before the legendary samsara
that being said i didnt have to do this cuz i started the puzzle and thought i'd do it later only to later realize that the puzzle was solved by itself somehow, i only had to do the one at the second floor
After watching this and going through the quest again, I’m wondering if Elynas is the giant whale that Tartaglia mentioned having a dream of, since the first time the traveler feels the paint hallucination, she sees a flying white fish, and the sound you hear when she’s resonating with the paint sounds like whale noise? 🤔
I think flying white fish was just a joke and was referring to paimon
Its 100% one of his siblings
I mean we can see elynas' corpse and it definitely does not look like a whale lmao
Ive seen that theory around but his body does not match with a whale, his skull is smaller than the rest of his body and his teeth don't resemble a whale at all, he did ate boats and buildings but he was so huge it was probably easy to just walk on the water even if it was deep
maybe it would be possible if elynas original form on the abyss was the one of the whale but i doubt that, i'm sure the whale thing is gonna be answered on the main story at least parcially
I love theese world quest videos, i don't have the attention span to read the dialog myself, so i use theese videos as Background audio as well as like a lore recap,
i loved this world quest
Was waiting so badly for this, love uuuu ♡ hope ure doing well
ah, yes, now i can sleep listening your voice
I don't think her brother came here cause we already got lore before this where her brother met the Kahenriahn who told him that she was princess and then Dainsleif also told us that his sister stopped travelling with him which means before completing the journey he was approached by Abyss or maybe he has not been to all the places we are going outside of the Archon or story quest.
Doctor: Rednas dubbing with French accent isn't real and he can't hurt you
Rednas dubbing with French accent: watch me
Just joking though, I really enjoy your videos :)
I must thank you for your hard work. It's great to recite the plot🎉
After finishing everything I had to watch yours. First is the reactions and thoughts, second is the pronunciations. I really not sure how to say some of their names correctly so I kinda curious. I like all the world quests, pretty nice. Melusines ones was cute.
1:09:26 I did not know that there was a different dialogue with that heck I didn't even know he was on the cliff watching all that transpire till now
Wait, he did?!
Man, the Book of Esoteric Revelations quest dumped quite the lore tidbits.
I lowkey how for Paimon's betrayal. Mostly for more Traveler dialogue.
I was taking photos from my laptop when talking to Elynas on my account it was so sweet and wholesome. But it’s bittersweet. And reminds me how my dad won’t sacrifice sht for my wellbeing… Elynas are you looking to adopt a how to train your dragon fan from 2011? When the first movie came out???? Awesome Father alert Elynas
Oh my god 2011 you’re so little I’m adopting you
5 and a half hour long yummy content to enjoyyyy thank you for the food >:D
Yayyy i just finished the HSR videos and ran out of videos to play in the background 😭
there is an ending with the diving man that betrays you (there is actually quite a bit more to that quest). i think it picks but up again by the statue of the 7?
I did the mary-ann quest before the melusine quest and it was so confusing at the end of the melusine quest that why are we not talking about what happened in the other quest and tgat we know who mary-ann is. So this was the order that you had to do the quest. They really should put a prerequisite quest so we can't do the mary-ann quest unless we have already completed the melusine quest
I did it in that order too! I was so confused, lol
I love long videos like this aaaa
It really was strange to see a hydro being attacking a hydro being with hydro attacks!
4:51:35 wow i didnt even know there was a unique phase to this. I just know there was an event with ocaenids if thats what you are talking about? but i wasnt playing that time
NASYUNK UPLOAD TODAY IS A GOOD DAY
3:52:10 "That guy (Jak) sounds like my dad"
Is your dad Mélenchon or something? XD
Ohh wow I never knew that Jacob was just standing up there watching everything....kinda creepy
timestamp?
@@kuroo_nyanko 35:27
5:07:30 its called "inteyvat"
another supercut woo! thank you :D
You can hunt down Virgil if you go meet Sonny at the spot you met Virgil at.
I also have a 6 page comment full of lore but I seriously don't know how to start that, so if there is anything in particular you wish to know, ask, and I shall answer.
i got food poisoned 2 days ago and tbh this was the best medicine ty c:
I am sorry but the fact that elynas is probably albedo's sibling is hilarious
A really good way to ruin the whole emotional and beautiful quest: Ann in persian means shit 😂 (im not making this up, its true fact)
You’d be the Dutches of the Abyss
3:28:50 as a German, you say it right
P.S i didn't known this was German at First because WE are basicaly in frence 😂
I hope he sees the “fishermen” soon
no fucking way this took 5+ hours these quests went by so fast what
Verenata made me so delusional GOD
I'm a mobile gamer and I'm so unbelievably frustrated I can't do the part 3 of the clear the water formation at all!!! My characters seem to not be able to jump high enough at all and I'm always stuck at the last part no matter how many hours i spend trying to just do it and I've given up although it really upsets me so much and i have no idea what I'm supposed to do
I play on PC and it was even hard for me to jump on the platform, maybe you should try with a taller character or a character with an exploration advantage like Wanderer or Keqing to get up higher. Best of luck! 💜
@@rebeccacrawford6152 yeah i have none of them and I tried with my zhongli still doesn't work
which part of what quest is that?
I need the vid about the hsr event, if they spoil you then too bad (at least recorded beforehand)
Speaking of revolutions, Im hoping that there some head roling in thw future stories
Or something stupid about cakes
hello rednasyunk it is me your biggest fan
hi
@@RednasYunk omg youre real
Hey! I’m Romanian but I don’t think that their names r Romanian, maybe Hungarian? Btw I love ur vids x
i’m pretty sure they are, there’s a hungarian achievement during the archon quest aswell
@@miles2593 i thought so too x
Your enemy took the htdroculous. 14:14
small fun fact: some melusines names are irish!
Whoecer said that Melusine name sound Romanian is a big liar, those names sound nothing like Romanian names not even old names 😭
ok so I went back to Melusine Village and there is one Melusine that has a Romanian name and it's Cosanzeana , that's the only one . Also I've been investigating and all Melusine's name are baltic & latin mytologic names ( some a little chaged)
the betrayal in the first quest annoyed me
“No!” *hiccup* ❤
5:23:30 can someone explain how to get to this place?? 😭😭
YES PLSSS HOW DID YOU GET TO THIS PLACE
Next time you do these quests please turn up the in-game music. The ost is so quiet and it would give a better feeling if i could easily hear the music while you are reading the dialogs (and some of these ost's are really cool. I just wanna hear them again in the feel of being in the middle of the quest and not just going back there and listening to them again)
