- This video was a bit of a passion project for me, as the release of dragonspine was my first time going really ham on uncovering every little lore tidbit I could while playing Genshin Impact. The Celestial Nails fascinate me to no end, and so I decided to take you all on a hunt for them-- yes, even in Inazuma.

is a cicle of betrayal->being->learning-> being killed by discovering the truth of the betrayal.... endless as it is pointless
I forget where I heard this but I’m pretty sure the islands of Inazuma where bigger in ancient times. The waters of the sea rose up and gave the islands their geography now. So maybe the nail in Tsurumi is under water.
Maybe we get to explore it once,there are parts deep undergound seeming like they link deeper but we cant go there
@@emerald_blaze the
Fountain will allow us to Dive, so perhaps a map rework in the future will expand underwater of Inazuma
@@shycracker but we can dive in fountain because the water there is different, idk about inazuma tho, but maybe we can because of the celestia nail i hope
it would make a lot of sense if celestia is planning to send a nail to fontaine, since focalors is the god of justice and from what we've learnt so far they have their own judgement system. afaik celestia doesn't like when ppl make up their own minds about what's right or wrong since they want to keep control so this makes me excited for whatever will happen when we get to fontaine (also great video I can't wait to watch more!)
Also when Celestia was still a png someone estimated Celestias location to be just right over Fontaine!
I always thought fontaine/Focalors was neutral with celestia since Dain said that "even she knew not to make an enemy of the divine
Maybe it will be the first conflict between the traveler and celestia
Since it is said that Focalor is scared of Celestia
I think in the fontaine archon quest, Focolar will be a god running on Celestias principles and justice, which is when we confirmed that they aren't justified at all
We then we fight the Hydro Archon and make her stop following celestias rules, which is when they drop a Celestial Nail somewhere in Fontaine, and the the Heavenly Princibles awaken again.
Edit: Don't know how the Fatui will play a part in this, put I think that Sandrone will be in Fontaine, and may have something to do with the Celestial Nail in Fontaine
Maybe she goes to investigate the Nail, to which she'll have a boss there or something.
I heard rumors about Celestia floating on top of Fontaine 👀
Genshin’s lore is criminally underrated
unfortunately most of the lore is very cryptic and it takes a lot of time and effort to connect the dots. most of the time i stumble upon a piece of lore, i just don't have enough info to interpret it as something meaningful. only thanks to channels like these i get to enjoy how detailed and inspired the world building actually is. i see it as one of the game's bigger failures, personally. there's hinting at certain events and history, and then there's this vague, metaphorical, unrelated narrator bs that genshin is doing that you have to do tons of homework to even start to understand.
@@SandersCat_yo if you play honkai and ggz its actually just rewrite of its lore.
And since genshin is part of the honkai universe. Honkai players already know why asmodeus and the celestials are destroying civilizations when they reach certain level. And why the sky is fake and why they locked off genshin universe so no one will get in or out.
It's the fear of honkai discovering their universe. In ggz and hi3 human civilization gets infected by honkai when they reach certain level. In hi3 humans already lost and was destroyed in ggz the end game literally them getting wiped out only.
And in APHO and honkai star rail we discovered another universe civilization that escaped the honkai incursion with turning themselves into a hybrid robot monsters discarding their human forms.
So asmodeus or the celestials solution to not be invaded by the honkai would be to lock off teyvat and go low profile. And any civilization that gets too powerful and could potentially attract honkai gets nailed.
@@maosama3695 So, is the forbidden knowledge a knowledge from other universe with properties that could further advancing human civilization? And by discovering it, they invite the Honkai in the form of Eleazar & Withering? No wonder the desert region have so many advance machinery so far ahead from it's neighboring country..
@@glyphgraph8436 more specifically it'd be knowledge that celestia doesn't want anyone in teyvat to have.
@@maosama3695 you are wrong. It's not confirmed that genshin and honkai in same universe. Also if you read new artifact set description celestia is not responsible for those nails. It's primordial one. There is no relations with honkai.
fun fact: Phanes sent down the Celestial nails in an attempt to stabilize Teyvat after the Second Who Came invaded. it's not just because Celestia hates technology. the new Artifact set, Flower of the Paradise Lost revealed the history of old Teyvat as well as what happened to Goddess of Flowers and King Deshret. so it's possible that we won't see a nail getting dropped until the Abyss engulfed Teyvat once more.
True
The Primordial One sent nails down in panic and fear. The very fabric of reality was fading, and there were chains that got unshackled, so he had to send down nails to mend the land.
The shackles could be the technology PO used to regulate the "elemental currents" of the elemental realm to turn them into "ley lines" that form the foundation of the human realm.
It's very basic concept we already witnessed. Anything messing with ley lines to a higher degree can ruin everything.. just look at Tsurumi. Or Ei second quest.
Abyss can tear the very fabric of reality, and undo everything PO made, or in other words, defy the laws of the world a.k.a: heavenly principles. Which trigger drastic counter measures like nails.
And yes, the Mural in all domains have a picture of what seems like winged entity throwing down nails on Tyvat. Just look at that thing behind the tree at the end of any domain.
So the second who came was basically the Abyss?
@@eniobiondi2749 No, but I think they would classify as 'forbiden knowledge' in a way. Since that's knowledge from beyond the world, it's possible the Second did stuff that caused massive forbidden knowledge leaks.
@@Saga_Anserum So you're saying the forbidden knowledge (truth of this world) and abyss power are different things and that both are lethal poisons?
only thing i'd correct is that Perilous Trail was actually an interlude archon quest, like The Crane Returns on the Wind and Inversion of Genesis. the story itself was permanent, only thing limited was the part where you went to the sign and fought in the domains outside of the story.
I think they might mean the event that occurred in tandem with the new quest
Spoiler Ararnara world quest:
If i recall correctly, when you make it to old Vanarana with Arama you get to see a few wall paintings. These paintings tell the story of Vanarana and the Aranara, for example when they met our sibling. Furthermore, one of the paintings shows a nail like shape hovering over the home of the Aranara. When interacting with this picture, the traveler even mentions that the nail shaped object feels oddly familiar, as if they had encountered something like it before. After observing the wall paintings, the Aranara tell you that their original home was in the land that is now covered by sand, where no life can exist. By this, they are most likely talking about the desert part we have yet to unlock, as it is located right next to old Vanarana. This is also the area with the mysterious sandstorm and the blue glow. Due to their old home turning from a lush green forest into a deadly desert they had to relocate their home to what we know as "Old Vanarana". They moved to "Vanarana" only much later with the help of our sibling, after Old Vanarana also became polluted by the Marana (aka the Withering).
So where do I want to go with this: I think it is very likely the sandstorm in the locked desert area is hiding a celestial nail.
In my opinion, the nails were used every time the beings of Teyvat came in too close contact with the truth of their world. To me it seems likely that Celestia does not want the people to know this truth which is why they send a "purifying" nail to purge the source of it everytime it surfaces. It is also possible that already at the very beginning of Teyvat's creation, something went "wrong" and forbidden knowledge oozes from the very depth of the world for all time. To prevent the entire world from collapsing through forbidden knowledge, Celestia basically has to use the nails in order to protect Teyvat. I would not be surprised if at the end of our journey we find out the only way to fix things is to destroy all of Teyvat or, similar to Ei's second story quest, we have to enter the space between time and space and chance the very foundation of Teyvat.
If you read until here thank you and have a good day C:
Maybe the genesis pearl will have a relevance at the end when we supposedly have to change the vary foundation of the world, as you say.
Teyvat is eerie
THERE WAS A NAIL THERE
This was later confirmed after your comment :)
It's soo amazing how genshin lore channels can use genshin soundtracks and just make the video feel soo much more polished and amazing
I'm so honored you noticed my specific music choices! Aside from being a lore nerd, I'm a classically trained musician and just adore the work Yu Peng Chen and Hoyomix has done for this game. :)
---Ganymede
@@projectvaluka yeah. Your music choices are actually pretty amazing.
It adds soo much more emotions to each scene
I'd like to think Celestia is petty and arrogant, but at the same time, series like NieR have taught me that even those who seem most corrupted might desperately be trying to do what they think is right. Fear is also a motivator, as the Amethyst Crown would suggest.
WAIT. when i was listening to the boxes descriptions something hit me , it is like super familiar to the k'heanrian disaster. They most likely got also dropped a celestial nail , pierro is the scribe , who wanted to destroy everything of the world (u know rebuilding it and all) the priest could be the abyss order/ the sages of k'heanria who want to restore the nation to its original state , deinslief could be the outlander that got sent , and returned to destruction , and the princess could be the abyss sibling. Its very interesting how the past echos to the closer past lol . but that just my observation
I like the theory of each nail having elemental power. The dragonspine nail has the power of cryo, the nail of the chasm has hydro power, the nail in tsurumi island has dendro power and the one in the sumeru desert probably is anemo with that giant sandstorm we can see.
why hydro for the chasm or dendro for tsurumi
@@hpropganda tsurumi goes through the process of repeating the same day again and again like the samsara and the chasm is because of the mud
@@suziesamico a samsara is present in sumeru, but it isnt directly related to the dendro element. not to mention that there's a form of figurative samsara present all over teyvat according to the prayers circlets, and possibly a literal samsara according to a few theories. and the mud in the chasm has nothing to do with hydro, thats oozing filth, aka forbidden knowledge, the stuff that arose during the war with the second that brought about delusion and ravaged king deshret's civillization
Interesting! I’d say chasm could be geo
@@namaste19 if it is related to elements, the best bet for the chasm would be excessive geo, considering those exploding spikes and the Geo pillars and all.
I love this lore video. The quality of the clips and editing definitely show the love you had for the project. Please make more
I hadn’t even noticed the spikes in Celestia! Yeah, that definitely doesn’t bode well…
I’m so glad this video showed up in my recommended videos. This is such a well made video that organizes and explains lore that is scattered all over the place in game. I love the name of your channel BTW. I’m definitely subscribed and looking forward to more of your content!
Wow. Hoyoverse really does NOT skip on any small details in storytelling. The irminsul sprout next to the boatman was such a genius touch
imagine if we get to witness a sky nail falling on Fontaine, damn...
When I first felt when the 3.0 trailer and even before that, The winter knight's Lazzo was released is Ohara from One piece.
We all know that Genshin storytellers are really good at taking story beads from many different anime and translating them into the world of Genshin.
And when you said Genocide to hide the forbidden knowledge... It also matches a lot with it.
I wonder how these two are connected
13:49
Finally.
I found this on my first exploration of the chasm, paimon had dialogue about it, and I thought for sure that there would be some quest or special item attached to it, but I found nothing anywhere.
This is actually really good to know.
Glad it was insightful!
I just fond this Channel and oh boy by this video alone I'm subscribing.
Narration ? On point.
Voice ? Tone? Excellent.
Keep up the good work
Idk who said it but there was atheory that said that all the nails have to do with one element. mondstadt's being cryo, Liyue geo because of the contructs in the entrance, Inazuma's electro because of the storms and Sumeru's anemo. Idk tho, makes kinda sense. That, if the nail is in Seirai Island.
now that 3.4 is released.. i have finished the new world quest. in the middle of the oasis in the roots of the little island is another sprout of irminsul, confirming a celestial nail
I've seen it, and I'm basically overflowing/dying waiting for the next scraps of story we might get haha!
so... Celestia is the Teyvat equivalent of the "Rods from God", they're Orbital Kinetic Bombardment weapons, a weapon concept thought up in our World, basically satellites that shoot giant tungsten rods at such great speeds that when they impact, the drop zone is basically destroyed as if it was hit by a huge bomb.
“Dragon-lords already ruled that chaotic darkness”
Why does this sound like the intro cinematic of Dark Souls 1???
(It might spoil Interlude Chapter Act 3)
11:40 After completing Scaramouche's Interlude Archon Quest, I am more inclined to trust the "baseless folktales", especially when they contradict what is percieved to be History. Also, artifacts seem to be immune to Irminsul rewrintings (Husk of Opulent Dreams still tell Scaramouche's story as it actually happened and the Viridescent Venerer's Determination still explicit states Rukkhadevata existed and died - quite intriguing, now that I think of it, since we get artifacts directly from Irminsul branches, although petrfied ones). On the contrary, books can be rewritten.
In the Vermillion sands it is also stated that the descendants of the Dunyu people "have forgotten their past", while the Records of Jueyun: Hidden Jade say that neither the Adepti nor the Yaksha talk about the meteorite. Could it be because they where all forced to forget what really happened? Maybe helping repair the Sun Chariot (a figure linked to the three Moons and the Seelies, who at the time of the falling of the nails had fell from grace) was seen as a threat by Celestia
The thing about artifacts being immune due to being petrified Irminsul branches is interesting! didn't think to look at Scara's artifact set after he'd erased himself, how ack of me ;o;
I woner if petrified Irminsul branches can store forbidden knowledge?
It's not exactly that books can be rewritten - *facts* can be, but folktales and stories obscured by fiction cannot.
the nail in sumeru is in that sand tornado we can see from the borders.. and the nail in inazuma was said to be in enkonomiya, as this is what destroyed it so its under inazuma sunken
Hoy- this is soo well made the fountain also gave me goose bump cant wait for us see the first war crime in current era in 4.0 update
Even tho I am not a catastrophe-fan, I kinda have a feeling that we're getting more and more connected with these nails even chronologically perhaps. So... I have a feeling that we might be able to just witness one of these nails being dropped at some point in the story.
I also find it interesting how the Tsurumi Island murals has the "exact same" depiction of Celestia, but the silhouette is mirrored and here instead of shining like sun, it's within a dark circle like a newmoon or just simply a moon.
It could be possible since the Sumeru Archon quest says Deshret sacrificed himself to stop the spread of forbidden knowledge maybe the reason there isn’t a Celestial Nail in Sumeru is because the forbidden knowledge there was already “dealt with” so Celestia saw no reason to use one.
and on the speculation at the end that Celestia looks like there are nails “ready to be fired” and considering the withering and Elezar came from forbidden knowledge corrupting Sumeru it’s possible one of the nails was going to be used on Sumeru if Irminsul wasn’t healed
We have little knowledge about the forbidden knowledge. It is presumed that this roots from the origin of the Abyss.
Part of this whole forbidden knowledge and corruption thing that I wonder about is if the Traveller's apparently inate ability to purify 'corruption' that we actually haven't seen much since Mondstat and Dragonspine comes back into play. Perhaps though that is only relevent to the stuff Gold was messing with.
The first part is relatable when I didn't even interest in genshin lore until I get to dragonspine,it give me urge to find out about it mystery,at that moment,I started to addicted to the story and world mystery rather than the rpg part which is the reason to play genshin (I was looking for new game to play) I will play until story is done and got my answer
I have a crack theory that Deshret used the nails throughout his tech because there's a lot of blue crystals in the desert ruins and no abyss. He also either has purple or gold abilities not blue.
So in the end you mentioned the nail looking items still on celestia, Im thinking 7 nails, 1 for every nation and when all the nails are used up celestia is just gonna destroy Teyvat, or something along those lines, and the Tsaritsa knows this and that's why she want the gnosis. but thats just a theory a game theory. (This is a call for help i have an addiction to genshin) And maybe we'll get a nail falling on Fontaine when we get there 😭
When you do the sakura arborism quest, the priestess said something about sleeping thing under the island. That could be the nail.
Wow this was so good!! And your reading of the staff of scarlet sands was very enthralling
Thank you so much for sharing!!! These discoveries are amazing and gave me a completely new perspective about things I never even noticed!!! XD I'm listening while playing even! ^v^
Oooh! A new good quality Genshin lore channel! Sign me up!
Don’t know where I heard this but I remember someone saying there is an invisible nail around Tsrumi island, if I had to guess it’s likely either in a part of the island that was forgotten due to sea levels rising.
I love your voice, it’s so easy to listen to the lore and stories here
Oh wow, thanks! Glad it's easy on the ears :)
Sorry for the 3 comments but I comment mid video
There is an actual mountain (not actualy story wise) in the sandstorm, (can’t actualy see it) and there is a nail in it, I would assume similar to dragonspine, and since there is the area below the sandstorm, it would make sense that the nail attempted to destroy the paradise down there, but was blocked by the mountain and instead caused the sandstorm
Knowing that Scara has some conspiracy theories, I hope someday he’ll return to Inazuma and exhume that Celestia nail, saying how he has always been right about fake sky or something
TEYVAT nutshell story:
Sal Vindagnyr Princess: I have foreseen our fate. We will die. But it will purify this land from the plague.
Land freezes, completely wipes out Dragonspine people.
The Chasm people: let us weaponize this celestial nail to destroy the filth. Thus, the Adjuvant Crystal was invented. They still died from the Dark Mud.
Tsurumi Island people: let us sacrifice our children to prevent the Fog from spreading!
Angry Thunderbird: you killed ma boy, Ruu! Die!
Leyline is still broken because someone stole the Celestia Nail!
(insert Ka'enriah)
Eternal Oasis: let's stop time for a moment before a freakin' nail is dropped here.
Nabu Malikata: I need to walk a couple miles with these freakin' heels to warn Deshret about Celestia. Eventually dies. But gave birth to Jinn with arrogance and Seelies who have no Intelligence except give you 2 primos and some poop items.
Fontaine: what the heck is a Celestia Nail? We are busy with the trials, folklores have no room here in the courtroom, only justice will prevail!
Natlan: War! War! War! Celestia is bad!
Pyro Archon be like: Hey Traveller, wanna know a secret about TEYVAT? The sky is Fake! Blame Celestia!
The Tsaritsa to Second Who Came: How dare you spread filth to TEYVAT, you fake Primordial One! Wait here, I need to collect Gnosis. The chest pieces of your games. I'll let Mr. Traveller find me as he collects all the elements of TEYVAT. Once he has all 7, I give Gnosis to him if he defeats me!
We win a Luxurious Chest with 20 Primos after defeating The Tsaritsa. Had our powers back with the Special Sword and Wings while Paimon powered up and became Sus Mommy Paimon.
Ka'enriah: I'm in danger. 😅
I love the vid! Good narration script and pace :D
GIGACHAD video
In our world there is a practice of putting nails in tree roots - maybe it's somehow influenced the idea of celestial nails?
it was pointed out by another theorist that the nails so far seem connected to the different elements. even if not in accord with the element of the nation. Liyue got geo [the lines of energy and the abundance of ore], Mondstat got cryo [the sudden blizzard], maybe Inazuma got hydro [another comment here suggested the idea of Inazuma having become flooded], and Sumeru seems to have gotten Anemo [sandstorms, which formed around the blatent chasm reskin, are caused by winds blowing in places with a bunch of loose sand] it's possible that the nails purify the energy/black mud in a way that's more of a bandage then a proper cure, like trying to use one filter for a tank of fish without ever replacing it or cleaning it out. They could still be a more weaponized method, but if that's all they do then why not have a way to pick them back up to re-use, or at least have an easier time sending another in the same area?
I keep trying to wrap my head around what Tehvat looked like before the Primordial One descended. An elemental world ruled by the 7 Dragon/Vishap Lords and probably entirely inhospitable to humans or was it? How would people have any knowledge if they never witnessed it? Also did the Seelie races already exist or did they arrive with the Primordial one descending from the Celestial realm or were they created merely to guide humans? I thought Seelie existed long before humans in the lore as a precursor race but did they live alongside the Vishaps, apart from them or just show up later? Then begs the question of why 7 rulers of the elements was necessary. Are these the shackles keeping the world created by the Primordial One intact or how the Vishaps held back the Abyss? Whatever the case it seems the truth of Tehvat is that it's artificial and didn't occur naturally so of course that means it suffers from Erosion and stability as the old world and natural laws wear it down.
It would be like building a dome world on Mars. If you go outside the dome your death is pretty assured and yet everyone in this particular dome doesn't realize it is what it is. Problem is the dome is falling a part and the previous denizens might not want us here. There's also the matter of the 2nd Descender who came and decided to wreck the dome. Then the people in the dome got smart and realized things in the dome were suss. That caused some issues.
@Harry Shade I was pretty sure the game lore suggested the Seelie were said to rule long before humans and went into decline mainly because of the curse placed upon them for 1 having fallen in love with a human but like the Vishaps they were natives of Tehvat. I have also heard that they were the Celestial messengers to humans but it's never been clarified that I can tell.
Also, which beginning are you referring to? Vishaps existed pre-Phanos and their 7 dragonlords ruled Tehvat long before he came, which is why he's known as the 1st Descender. That's not Tehvat's beginning just another landmark in its timeline. It's also most likely not even the beginning of Phanos story as we have no knowledge of where he came from prior to Tehvat.
You didn't touch upon it in your video, so I'll drop some more evidence for you. With the exception of what you've said in your videos, the confirmed Nails in Dragonspine and Chasm have another similarity. Both of them lack Ley Line Outcrops. Ley Line Outcrops will not Spawn in Dragonspine nor in the Chasm Crater. Now, Where else do Ley Line Outcrops not spawn? Yep. Tsurumi Island. In terms of the overworld (ie not underground maps), the only 3 locations where Ley Line outcrops will not spawn are the places where a Nail or suspected Nail has fallen. Just more evidence for Tsurumi Island to have been nuked by a nail for you.
8:59 the audio crackles quite a bit. Not sure if that's a style choice, like an old record, but it doesn't sound so great in my headphones. Otherwise I'm enjoying the video quite a bit, just hoping to provide some constructive remarks :)
I really hope Hoyoverse will add more details throughout the game that will make sense in the end.
That was talked about at the end of the video... time and space could not be separated and all barriers broken thing... it's uhm... eternity because there will be nothing which can be changed if all things will be one then nothing can influence it like gravity has an impact on sand and time but if that will be merged together then i shall call that eternity so um... it's that what Raiden searching?! Anyway these nails resembles me one secret project i don't remember it's name but it was a weapon well what else human can invented righ...it was basically a rod made from hard materials with high melt point like titanium carbon wolfram etc... And these rods should be placed on earth's orbit on some sort of satellite and released when needed and on impact it will made a huge boom but non radioactive which is good but that temps speed and mass (rods can actually be partially melted during long fall throu atmosphere) will be really dangerous but that program was ceased it was costly to put these rods on orbit they were really heavy and where it will lands was a bit unpredictable you can't really aim from these heights throu atmospheric conditions and speeds but who knows what comes next...
Im pretty sure almost all nations got hit by some sort of divine nail, Vindagnyr got hit by the skyfrost nail, the chasm got the divine pillar, tsurumi got one whoch fractured (i think) and fell into the sea, sumeru got ay khanoum (first one, city of jinni, not city of amphitheatre) which got obliterated by a nail and the nail turned the lush plains and forest into the great desert of sumeru, and in Fontaine its probably remuria, it was said that remuria fell into chaos and disaster and sank into the ground (like enkanomiya?) So i wager it got hit by another nail
I liked the video, your work on it, the small details etc. All the positive things were described before me.
I would like to make an important request: when quoting, please refrain from using sound distortion and noise effects. The sound caused me real painful discomfort when using high-quality headphones. I had to switch to the monitor speakers in order to listen to the entire video. Considering that I may not be the only viewer with sensitive hearing, my review could be helpful to you.
The story of Tsurumi island is so sad.
Also, there could be a nail on the opposite side of the golden wolflords gate. Maybe Gold was able to manipulate it
I wonder if the nails actually have elemental effects same as the elements used by the gods and people. For Mondstadt the nail had a cryo effect freezing the mountain. For Liyue, a geo effect which caused its twisting always changing mines. For inazuma, a hydro effect such as we can see water droplets in the air around us. For Sumeru, maybe pryo effect cause for all we know the desert could of been a rainforest like the other half of Sumeru but a nail fell burning away the rainforest leaving only sand and heat left behind. But then again that's just a theory A GAME THEORY also I heard that sumery quote on quote has the first nail to ever fall from the sky
perilous trail is permanent btw, only the fighting trial sign thing was the limited time bit
I think he means how the quest takes place in a limited domain you can’t come back to after finishing
goodness gracious, I never noticed that Celestia has Nails at the ready! OvO tho, I play on my phone, so Celestia is tiny whenever I manage to catch sight of it.
Do not mention anything about those ghosts I’m still traumatized by finding the electric thingies I had to light up
notes throughout the video:
2:45 it sounds like the first "catastrophe" - the one where the moon sisters died. at least, if I've got my timeline correct, that's what broke the cycle of the Prayers artifact "set" (those four crowns you get from bosses)
4:35 sounds a bit like a Pyro Abyss Lector?
12:48 well, next year is about time for our Inazuma Traveller quest. Or an Interlude quest. But if they only hint at it for a while longer, I won't be too upset.
Imagine if we witness a nail destroying fontaine when we get there
i think that the traveler is activating the doomsday devices for cleansing without know. And the Abis order is trying to keep the world running avoiding the device from start. (or to control it, maybe? The story can have many outcomes from what we know or deduce until now.. The "sides" of some of the characters and backstoryes fit to the plot. And a twist of events is always dramactical and amazing to a story (a good one at least).. Oh, a "HIT" to everyone.. try to get always all the eletroculus, anemoculy, dendroculus (PRINCIPALY the +1 extra) etc... From my almost 35 years as a professional player, is quite repeated the concept, that to be able to unlock the "white" power on the traveler, you will need to use those at some point of the history to unlock that power.. So... remember this. =)
@harryshade5700 Oh.. so the plot is much more "clichê" then... but still.. i love the conspiracy theory anyway...rsrsrs.. ty for the reply.. =) hope you have a blessed and full of primo's this year.. Happy 2023!
ur voice is rly nice. instantly subbed.
Meanwhile me who hasn't even complete the dragonspine,aranara and perilous trail quests
I love this video
I feel like the nail is what "purification" is in bible when put into a literal thing. Bible said that when the world strayed far from goodness God shall put an end to it to purify the land and mold it back to the state of silence and peace. I apologize if I word it out wrong.
I do believe the cyclone in Sumeru Desert is caused by a nail. I would be very disapointed if it didn't.
Lmao Fontaine getting nailed for sure
25:04 omg I am scared now
Celestial Nails and Where To Find Them: Official Video
For some reason I thought the lector was Albedos VA. I sense an Albedo main for sure
I think genshin should update and add ruins in specific places without us knowing. ;0 see if we'd find it
Spoiler:
Similar to Tsurumi, there's no celestial nail in sight...
But, a branch of the Irminsul tree is in the paradise, just behind the tree at the center island where the seats of the three late gods of Sumeru is situated.
I love the lore behind these nails. They're so mysterious and creepy.
Definitely subbing to this new genshin lore channel cuz I need people to explain these things to me since I mostly skip the dialogues and I don't read the in-game texts. On the rare chance that I don't skip them, I still get lost and I can't keep up so I'll still need watch your channel to understand. Keep up the good work! 😁👍
How the heck did you manage to kill those 3 enemies from the Boatman's challenge? I can't get close enough in time; they all scatter too far away. What's your secret? They aren't particularly hard to kill, there's just too much space between them.
More more more 😍🙏
I was so waiting to find a nail in Inazuma but sadly no nail
Is it just me or was the mic a big buggy? 😅
That's actually me testing out an 'old fuzzy' filter to help break up/ indicate when I was specifically reading directly from in-game old-dusty-texts, maybe give a little dramatic flare. Not sure if I like it yet either, so probably won't use it again :')
@@projectvaluka ahh i see! I was scared my speaker was broken haha
I'd say the filter's not necessary, since I'd prefer hearing a clear dialogue without distraction~ But it's just my opinion 😄
Yeah I'm thinking I feel the same way. Thanks for the feedback :)
@the hexenzirkel Maybe a small rectangle at the top that will appear when you read in-game text ... this will be more noticeable and have less impact on the audio.
And really really cool vid btw ! You deserve more subscibers for your content
just a suggestion for next time, dont do the crackly pop noise filter over quoted material.
I kind of suspect Inazuma's nail has been moved or excavated by someone or something. Did you by any chance found a spot that could be suspected as the nail's landing point before it was moved?
Thunderbird did say she witnessed multiple items drop from the sky and when you look at the aerial map of Tsurumi island... all three of its main 'mountains' are hollow, and look more like mini-chasms if you really think about it. I def. think if Khaenri'ah got their hands on any nail in particular (since their ruin guards on Dragonspine are transmitting that they FAILED to grasp the skyborne power there) that it was the Inazuman ones. They had people there before the calamity trying to get the Before Sun and Moon book from Enkanomiya so it tracks. :0
@@projectvaluka So pobably the nail was also scattered into 3 parts similar to Dragonspine. Kinda sus why did the Dragonspine's nail broke in the first place?
Wow a wonderful recommendation...automatic sub
Fontaine's gonna get nuked
hashtag khaenri'ah did nothing wrong 😔✊

Multiple mountain sized war machines all across Sumeru

Please don't turn this channel into another of theories and fanfic.
Please get a new mic
Hi, there's nothing wrong with my mic. This was one of my earliest longform videos when I first started this channel and I was worried that listeners would have a hard time following me if I just launched into reading huge chunks of in-game text without any indication. I used a sound that I sourced myself, from old vinyl records, to indicate I was 'reading in-game ancient history'.
It turned out a lot of people didn't get it, and it just came off as sounding like distortion and so I gladly never used the technique again. Just one of those things that didn't carry over as well as I thought it might in my head, and an unnecessary artistic flourish.
Hope that helps :)
@@projectvaluka wow thanks for the explanation :> it was painful to hear so I thought it was mic popping that's really funny. either way you're doing great.
Anyone else getting real miffed that Hoyo keeps referring to the Abyss twin as Her? Like come ON, why give us the choice if you're not going to change the text, or make one canon instead of the other. I wanna play my waifu, not some crusty golden hair shlub.
