To me, the word that comes to my mind the most is: Blasphemy. The song has such and ethereal sound, it’s fitting for a god. But at the same time, it’s a bit unnerving and creepy to listen to it… like something is very wrong. It’s not dangerous- it’s not like an evil god is about to smite you or something. It’s way too calm and peaceful for that. It’s just the feeling that something wrong is happening in secret, hidden away from the average people. Something quite horrifying. Something really, really wrong. A god being locked away, and people being held hostage and used without their consent in order to create a new god fits that whole theme perfectly imo. And it’s that one word that comes to mind. Blasphemy. What Azar and his buddies have bee doing in secret is blasphemous. That’s what the song represents for me. The horror of finding out what’s going on, and the realisation that here we’re dealing something far beyond what we’ve seen so far. We’re dealing with gods, we’re dealing with the roots of the entire world, and we’re dealing with the worst humans can become.
Took the words right out of my mouth. That's exactly what I was thinking too! I feel more of the Hidden Truth in Sumeru. Where everyone, including the Dendro Archon is locked away in a dream. Where not even a simple truth can solve the unknown crisis in Sumeru.
I feel the same way. When i watched King Deshret's cutscene and this ost came on i was so unsettled. Seeing forbidden knowledge's effect on humans and the screams in the background gave me goosebumps. I love when games do this kinda dark twist. As you said, it's nothing explicit or dangerous, but instead it gives you the feeling that you're stumbling into something that you shouldn't know or see, and therefore it feels weirdly and unnervingly wrong. I can only imagine if this game was rated +18 but i hope to see more of this in the future and specially in Khaenriah
You just put into words what I couldn't. It's especially fitting for Nahida, considering she is the Goddess of Wisdom, and despite being a very young god, it feels like she knows so much more than she lets us in on. I love how you said it feels like something is very wrong but not in an aggressive way; I totally agree and think it conveys a much deeper issue surrounding the world of Teyvat. If anyone knows the truths and horrors of Teyvat, it would be the Dendro Archon; past or present. The singing in the background also reminds me of the part in the Fatui trailer where Columbina was singing on Signora's coffin. A very haunting yet beautiful sound.
i think that is why sumeru's story is such a dreadfully beautiful one - i have finished fontaine's AQ (spoilers ahead) and while it was emotional, well written, and definitely a tier above any other quests in this game, i find myself revisiting sumeru's story, still. because for once, we can see how evil humanity really can be. you don't get to see much else of that in other parts of the game, since its the abyss, the fatui, the archon, celestia, who are "evil".. but sumeru made it clear that the humans of teyvat are no innocent beings either. a literal GOD being imprisoned by her own people, is such a sad fate.
“No. I want you to plead guilty in front of the archon herself.” Upon hearing Cyno say this, Azar suddenly felt a strange chill. He could not pinpoint where it came from, but it was piercing through him as if his very soul was exposed to the world. He slowly turned towards the cage where the Lesser Lord was suspended in the air. Her eyes were now wide open, and she gazed down at Azar. Nahida peered at Azar intently, not with any malice or judgment, but with an expression of almost neutral curiosity, as if she could see right through him. At that moment, all of Azar's transgressions began to stir from within him. Memories of all his disservices to his archon he carried out during his time as the Grand Sage. Throughout his life, Azar sought ultimately above all else, to gain the wisdom of Greater Lord Rukkhadevata. As a boy, he was told stories of the Greater Lord, and of how fruitless her successor was. He kept her locked away in the sanctuary, away from her people, away from everything. He, along with the other grand sages subjected her to 500 years of solitude. She, who loved her people above all else, was unable to see anything beyond a white wall, bathed in a pale green glow, all the while Azar and his colleagues sought to replace her. Overwhelmed by these emotions, all coming to light at once, invading his mind proved too much for Azar to bear, and he crumbled to the ground, submitting.
This chorus is very fitting for Nahida. She looks like a child but has the knowledge and wisdom of a God. So there is something very captivating about this childlike melody. It should be childish but the echo gave it an otherworldly presence.
For me, this is the first piece of music in genshin that makes me feel like I'm in the presence of a god. Something so absurdly powerful the atmosphere itself gains a reverent tone. Sadly, nahida's look doesn't quite mesh with that feeling (still love her design though). I hope that they'll do something like they did in honkai and add multiple versions of the same character with different abilities because I would love to see a grown up nahida.
Aged-up Nahida would be neat to see, though if they do that, I'd rather it be as some sort of new ascension feature (get level to 100 and you unlock new skin and upgraded abilities, something like that) rather than having to spend primos (constellations are bad enough ;~; ). That or maybe at some point they could just make Rukkhadevata playable. If we're going off Honkai, playable dead characters is entirely possible. Could see them doing a series of "Ancient Champions" banners with characters like Guizhong, Vanessa, Kitsune Saiguu, etc.
@@MatryoshkaNow I love the ancient champions idea! But sadly I just dont think that would work in an open world like genshin:( For honkai it’s different because all the arenas are relatively contained, meaning theres less relevancy as to who you’re playing as. In genshin you are constantly controlling a character, meaning your character has to have valid, real, and current connections to the world around them.
IMO her look definitely adds to the atmosphere this choir carries. She just radiates an inhuman amount of innocence that can only be described as holy.
when i heard it in the game for the first time, i felt myself terrified for unknown reason, like if something is about to happen now i'm listening to it again, still having this feel of uncomfortable fear and i love this ost exactly for how it can scare me
It doesn’t help that the first time we hear this in the story is during the Scarlet King cutscene showing the plague and damage forbidden knowledge caused on the desert civilizations.
Honestly, everyone is praising Fontaine for being the only "interesting part" of Genshin.. as if Sumeru didn't introduce a good plot. It introduced some of the most important lore we've gotten, including Irminsul. It invoked a lot of emotion from its story as well. While Fontaine does some fantastic things Sumeru doesn't, I don't believe it outshines Sumeru. They're both amazing.
Who the hell said that, the only thing i hear is Fontaine beimg better which isn't really true in the first place, but i doubt i saw anyone say that Sumeru wasn't interesting compared to Fontaine for the overall plot and lore of the game, it probably has the most interesting lore out of all the regions
This song makes me beyond sad. It sounds like a elegy for forgotten children who never had the chance to grow up and play without any concern and worry in the world. I mourn for no reason for people I never met and maybe never existed. That's how powerful this song is.
Same, it gives me inazuma vibes in the sense that Sacrificing kids or punishing them for situations out of their control was normalized. ( Tsurumi island and Sea Gonaderna description in archive )
This song reminds me of Columbina, both Nahida and Columbina look innocent, but they both have a deep story underneath that, and this song reflects that feeling very well. It feels like i’m in the actual presence of a god
I feel the same way. If Columbina becomes a boss, I'd imagine phase 1 will have a similar soundtrack. The music feels angelic since it looks like she's a seraph. Ethereal, but also omnipotent, truly facing off a mighty and powerful god-like being. Phase 1 of the all devouring narwhal almost feels the same way. But I hope the fight itself is better if Columbina does become a boss.
@@jnpwt hmm, so there is a hope that they'll add it, yes? surprised me bc, you are all correct, this is way too beautiful to be left out. :D thanks for sharing with us, btw.
i love the unsettling feeling this ost gives, children singing hymns or lalalas while having them echoed are so creepy cause the innocence you would assume a child would have and holiness of hymns is juxtaposed while the echoing gives an empty sorta feeling
This song reminds me of something very important and it is the powerful role that the Archon Dendro has compared to other Archons. Perhaps Morax is the oldest and the Shogun is currently the most powerful archon, but Nahida is essentially the avatar of the Irmisul, a branch of this tree that took a humanoid form. Nahida is part of something much more transcendental than almost any living being in the world, she is part of the Irmisul, the most powerful tree in all of GI... It is the tree that has the closest connection to the very tree of the ley lines, tree that is in a mystical plane totally different from the physical one. Nahida is the guardian and avatar of this tree. The tree contains all of Teyvat's knowledge as its branches spread across the entire continent. During the archon war, while all the archons were fighting, Celestia forced the archon Ruka to defend the tree, because if the tree perished... IT WOULD BE THE END OF EVERYTHING. Khaerian's victory. Knowledge is a power higher than any other type of power and Nahida is the personification of where all of Teyvat's knowledge is stored. It is impressive, extremely impressive. This song gives me a feeling that everything is fine, because I am facing something totally superior but that does not want to hurt me, something mystical, something that I cannot understand but that I want to see. If there was a place where the answers to all the doubts and problems of humanity and the universe existed, when entering that place, a song like this should sound.
This makes me feel so calm but also sad because it makes me think about Nahida being trapped for 500 years because of those damn sages 😢 I’m glad she’s free now
Did anyone notice this ? In Nahido there are a lot of green and not as free flowing elements as of Rukhdevata as if it were a little sprout who has newly came out pf the ground . Whereas in Rukhdevata there are many white elements unlike Nahido but is way more free flowing as if it were a fully developed plant filled with fully bloomed white flowers with its branches spreading everywhere in its surroundings but as always a flower will wither away unknown and forgotten by the world
Honestly, this tune reflects the same primal horror that I experienced when watching a documentary about a journey to the center of the earth when I was a child. And the same thing happens in the game from update to update. Mondstadt, which was only indirectly affected by the cataclysm. San Vindagnir, buried under celestial ice. The history of the war of the Archons and the general massacre. Foggy island, buried under the mists. An ancient civilization that caught the First. Immersion in the depths of the caves, where the ruins of the United Civilization and the column imprisoned in them are still preserved, a passing manifestation of the direct connection of Enkanomia with Khaenriah. The fact that the memory of the people of Teyvat is nothing more than archives that can be changed. And now we are going straight to the story of the last Fairy. I can't even imagine where we're going next.
it's like a song of mockery honestly 😭 the sages trapped her in her own home with no escape nothing at all just a sense of... solitude and then the walls are laughing at her for it
Words can't describe how well they composed this song. We all already know how amazing Genshin's music is, but this one just hit different. It's mysterious, like you don't know if it's safe or unsafe. It makes you feel like this is the place of someone or something powerful. But, once the choir starts singing, it gives it more of a safe, child like, feeling. Kinda like voices in the background telling you of not only her power she possesses, but her child like demeanor all at once. It also perfectly describes Genshin, and it's lore. If you listen to the song without the choir, it's scary, mysterious, and gives off a feeling that it isn't safe. But the choir helps balance that out with its innocent sound. Seriously, when I finished the archon quest, I stayed in that room for an extra hour because I was so obsessed with this song.
Imagine being trapped for 500 years in complete darkness. There's no way to escape from it , you just need to kept waiting and hoping some day for someone will open it.
Just realize I was listening to this while planting my dying succulent's leaves, hoping them can propagate into succulent cubs, like how Kusanali being birth from a branch of Irminsul
i was thinking of my mom's "babies" as she calls them that are buds of plants we have and then potted once they take root and grow into their own spectacular being. nahida is just like that. i personally take the idea that she is an avatar of irminsul very literally. her true form IS that tree, and she is the new irminsul. she a plant god who is a plant
@@magicman6908 Yes! I call my plants "babies" too. 🥺 It's funny I didn't connect the dots until now, I have my plants for years. 😂 I was thinking, hold on, aren't propagating leaves are like Nahida? While the dying mother plant is like Rukkhadevata? 🤯
The first time I heard this in Genshin Impact I never felt more far away but close at the same time and it kind of messed with me. It’s so ominous but absolutely ethereal it’s addicting I must say-
This is helping me focus SO well? I absolutely love how ethereal and haunting this is. I love your channel so far, you're making some really nice content.
I don't know if it's because Nahida is the archon of wisdom but I find this OST extremely helpful when I'm trying to focus!! Makes me feel like a scholar pursuing some deeply hidden knowledge 😭😭
when I first heard it, it gave me a weird mixed feelings, creepy but also calm... I feel I am not able to do anything just to think about Nahida's past... absolutely a masterpiece
This song feels so ominous, yet like magic. It feels like magic is being created right in front of you, and you’re watching in amusement. But, it’s like the magic is dark magic. And you’re at a risk by just standing in front of it. The story of Sumeru is still so crazy to me. How Rukkhadevata got erased in the end, and Nahida didn’t even remember anything about Rukkhadevata. And Nahida was trapped in the Sanctuary for 500 years. She was like a child when she was put into the sanctuary. She never had the time to play happily, and never had the time to be like a child. Instead, she was trapped. Trapped inside of the sanctuary for what was hundreds of years, with everyone supporting the imprisonment of their own archon. Even though, she only cared for her people. Just like all of the other archons.
To me, this song sounds like you’ve just realised something is *very* wrong and there is nothing you can do about it. It’s so unnerving but calming at the same time and I love it.
Сначала думаешь, что за прекрасная музыка, но после того как всё дальше и дальше познаёшь лор Нахиды, эта музыка словно прессом давит на душу, заставляя сочувствовать персонажу и вспоминать всё что она переживала. (Особенно после трейлера "С днём рождения, Нахида" чувствуешь себя более подавленным)
imagined if this music is played in enkanomiya back then,,,,,, the eeriness is on peak XD,,,,,,,port ormos might be one of the best soundtrack in sumeru but to me this soundtrack is one of the most unforgetable, the feeling between sadness, anger and divine is mixed, not to mention it connected to the story of rukhadevatta, and how sumeru's story (not only archon's act, also world's quest) can changed and darker, genshin slowly following it's predecessor, honkai :"D
Unlike other people, who may have an unsettleing feeling with this theme, i actually feel light headed, its so eery that it calms me, i always believed it was a kind of tune that Rukkhadevata left behind for Nahida, without knowing that her people would lock her in there
This feel like... you're trapped and sad because you aren't free .I can ear sad melodies, the Singer seems sad sad because they're stuck in this place for centuries
this soundtrack (or song), is probably one of the most heavenly songs I have ever heard. heavenly with a hint of terrifying things in the song, and when I first heard this soundtrack, I was so in love with the song and some chills ran down my spine. i personally think that this soundtrack was a great turn while Nahida was telling us about the descenders and answering our questions to add that creepy feeling. this soundtrack in question though, really is calming but is terrifying along with Damslette’s/Columbina’s singing too, I really like this soundtrack a lot
I don’t know why but the start give me really like Ocarina of Time/Temple of sages vibes and as a big fan of the game the first time I heard that ost it bring me so many nostalgia. Man I love this feeling thanks Genshin for that
i have a math test tomorrow, hoping the archon of wisdom will bless me as i listen to this fine tune whilst studying (will update with my score once I get it) also, while her banner is still up, i'm at soft pity and will pull for her c2 tomorrow (i already have c1) edit: got a 96/100 💪 lost the 50/50 to tighnari though :( edit 2: i have two tests tomorrow and will continue to do this great test ritual yes (no i am not superstitious or anything just doing this for the funsies + great song to study to) edit 3: 100% on math but 72% in latin
Listening to this makes me feel like Im in another world. Its like I am inside a large ancient jade hall large enough for the echoes of choir to be heard everywhere. Maybe the echoes are coming from this beckon of light, mysterious yet it feels like its at peace just right in front of me.
When me and my friends heard this for the first time, they told me it was scary and it reminded them of the lore where people where suffering while this bgm plays, weirdly enough I find this bgm so calming for some reason that I can't explain and even my friends were weirded out when I said it was calming lmao
Idk it kinda makes her interesting as an archon to me. Just imagining the god of wisdom to be wise and all knowing like an elder or a mage, but it's a little kid 😂
It does feel like we are in the presence of something so godly and totally incomprehensible to the human mind. Something that does not wish to hurt us, but so easily could should we anger it.
The official name of this track is Benevolence Bequeathed, for those who are trying to find it on the official release I love how eerie this track sounds, but idk unlike nahida i’d probably go insane if i was stuck listening to this for 500 years 🙂
> A wave of calm washes over you as you wander through the empty halls. "Be not afraid and speak without fear, mortal," a kind voice is heard, yet you are all alone. "You are in the presence of the God of Wisdom. What worry ails you, child?"
knowing that the traveler is the sole witness of greater lord rukkhadevata's sacrifice, death in its deepest meaning, being lost and forgotten forever, all mention of your name and even any effect you may have had on the world gone forever, makes me feel this immense feeling of loss and dread. it makes me so upset, shes just gone from everything for ever, and no one will ever utter or even think her name again. i hate genshin impact
I love this theme, the first time I entered the sanctuary I felt melancholic, safe and very comfortable, I felt the place sooooo peaceful, also kinda divine. Love this song, makes me feel melancholy for my home, as if I finally returned after a long time through many stories and many experiences, feels like home.
Thank you for posting this! Easily one of my favourite Sumeru soundtracks. It sounds so ethereal and lonely because of Nahida's story and what she was exposed to.
i love how this ost reminds me how we dont know almost anything about what really happened in teyvat and that nahida isnt telling us the most important points.
(I don’t why, I just thought this up while listening to this music) “Well greetings humble Traveler, I’ve been watching you for quite a while, and I must say, I’m quite impressed, ehe.” “Anyways, I would like to say my thanks to you for saving me and Sumeru..” “I couldn’t possibly give you anything for my gratitude… Oh? I don’t need to give you anything? You are too kind Traveler.” “Let’s get back on topic though. Why did you come for me?” “…I’m assuming that it has to do with.. your sibling, I presume?” “Aha. You’re guessing that I should know something about your sibling’s whereabouts, right? Hehe, I mean, I AM the god of wisdom.” “Truth be told though, I’m not sure about that. I bet Greater Lord Rukkhadevata could’ve known. She would’ve done a better job than me, heh…” “But I should not dwell on the past.” “Anyways, I can search Irminsul for your sibling’s whereabouts, but their current whereabouts will not be guaranteed.” “Still, consider this my gift of gratitude to you for saving us.” “..It won’t be too hard for me dear Traveler, don’t worry..” “I’m not the grand, picturesque, Greater Lord everyone expects, but…” “..I’m not to be underestimated.” “Nonetheless, you should get going.” “You’re quite the busy bee, hehe.” “Farewell, Traveler, I hope your journey goes well.” “Traveler, wait, I forgot to tell you something.” “Be cautious. Always trust your gut, alright?” “Anyways, I’m sure you must get going.” “I’ll be looking out for your next grand adventure, star-born Traveler.”
i never thought i'd hear one of the most touching themes for divine enlightenment in an anime waifu slot machine. it's almost like a prophecy for Nahida, anticipating her coming into godhood. her blooming from a fragile child into her true identity. because it is known who she is and her godhood is a repeating of a cycle.
whenever i had to go to the place this plays for a quest i just. stood there for a bit listening to it and looking around. its so magical feeling, like youre witnessing something beyond yourself, but not something explicitly malicious.
To me, the word that comes to my mind the most is: Blasphemy.

i love the unsettling feeling this ost gives, children singing hymns or lalalas while having them echoed are so creepy cause the innocence you would assume a child would have and holiness of hymns is juxtaposed while the echoing gives an empty sorta feeling
It mirrors nahidas theme aswell
I think its in her demo but you hear the singing except it sounds more happy and lively
This is awesome, it sounds so ethereal...
thanks 💚💚
This song reminds me of something very important and it is the powerful role that the Archon Dendro has compared to other Archons. Perhaps Morax is the oldest and the Shogun is currently the most powerful archon, but Nahida is essentially the avatar of the Irmisul, a branch of this tree that took a humanoid form. Nahida is part of something much more transcendental than almost any living being in the world, she is part of the Irmisul, the most powerful tree in all of GI... It is the tree that has the closest connection to the very tree of the ley lines, tree that is in a mystical plane totally different from the physical one. Nahida is the guardian and avatar of this tree. The tree contains all of Teyvat's knowledge as its branches spread across the entire continent. During the archon war, while all the archons were fighting, Celestia forced the archon Ruka to defend the tree, because if the tree perished... IT WOULD BE THE END OF EVERYTHING. Khaerian's victory. Knowledge is a power higher than any other type of power and Nahida is the personification of where all of Teyvat's knowledge is stored. It is impressive, extremely impressive. This song gives me a feeling that everything is fine, because I am facing something totally superior but that does not want to hurt me, something mystical, something that I cannot understand but that I want to see. If there was a place where the answers to all the doubts and problems of humanity and the universe existed, when entering that place, a song like this should sound.
This makes me feel so calm but also sad because it makes me think about Nahida being trapped for 500 years because of those damn sages 😢 I’m glad she’s free now
Man, that "Happy birthday" video was such a trip. I haven't felt genuine rage from a simple short video like that in ages.
@@kedolan4992 as well as the sumeru story quests
Did anyone notice this ?
In Nahido there are a lot of green and not as free flowing elements as of Rukhdevata as if it were a little sprout who has newly came out pf the ground . Whereas in Rukhdevata there are many white elements unlike Nahido but is way more free flowing as if it were a fully developed plant filled with fully bloomed white flowers with its branches spreading everywhere in its surroundings but as always a flower will wither away unknown and forgotten by the world
ya nahida small green twig lol
Honestly, this tune reflects the same primal horror that I experienced when watching a documentary about a journey to the center of the earth when I was a child. And the same thing happens in the game from update to update. Mondstadt, which was only indirectly affected by the cataclysm. San Vindagnir, buried under celestial ice. The history of the war of the Archons and the general massacre. Foggy island, buried under the mists. An ancient civilization that caught the First. Immersion in the depths of the caves, where the ruins of the United Civilization and the column imprisoned in them are still preserved, a passing manifestation of the direct connection of Enkanomia with Khaenriah. The fact that the memory of the people of Teyvat is nothing more than archives that can be changed. And now we are going straight to the story of the last Fairy. I can't even imagine where we're going next.
it's like a song of mockery honestly 😭
the sages trapped her in her own home
with no escape
nothing at all
just a sense of... solitude
and then the walls are laughing at her for it
Words can't describe how well they composed this song. We all already know how amazing Genshin's music is, but this one just hit different. It's mysterious, like you don't know if it's safe or unsafe. It makes you feel like this is the place of someone or something powerful. But, once the choir starts singing, it gives it more of a safe, child like, feeling. Kinda like voices in the background telling you of not only her power she possesses, but her child like demeanor all at once. It also perfectly describes Genshin, and it's lore. If you listen to the song without the choir, it's scary, mysterious, and gives off a feeling that it isn't safe. But the choir helps balance that out with its innocent sound. Seriously, when I finished the archon quest, I stayed in that room for an extra hour because I was so obsessed with this song.
same man i serach for ur comment i even back sometimes to this tempe just to listen it
Imagine being trapped for 500 years in complete darkness. There's no way to escape from it , you just need to kept waiting and hoping some day for someone will open it.
this feels so calming and eerie at the same time
Just realize I was listening to this while planting my dying succulent's leaves, hoping them can propagate into succulent cubs, like how Kusanali being birth from a branch of Irminsul
I think Nahida would love you since she likes it when person do analogy of a thing. 🤭 Btw hope your succulents will grow healthy.
i was thinking of my mom's "babies" as she calls them that are buds of plants we have and then potted once they take root and grow into their own spectacular being. nahida is just like that. i personally take the idea that she is an avatar of irminsul very literally. her true form IS that tree, and she is the new irminsul. she a plant god who is a plant
@@afel8051 thanks
Hope they are blessed by the Dendro Archon 💚
@@magicman6908 Yes! I call my plants "babies" too. 🥺 It's funny I didn't connect the dots until now, I have my plants for years. 😂
I was thinking, hold on, aren't propagating leaves are like Nahida? While the dying mother plant is like Rukkhadevata? 🤯
bro this is fire listened to the whole thing doing homework
Took you a hour to do homework😞
@@basil.4215 thats normal for me
@@fuooo8653 nah 1 hr is not enough
The first time I heard this in Genshin Impact I never felt more far away but close at the same time and it kind of messed with me. It’s so ominous but absolutely ethereal it’s addicting I must say-
being trapped there will be my Sleep demon crying outside the window while im listening to this.💀💀
This is helping me focus SO well? I absolutely love how ethereal and haunting this is. I love your channel so far, you're making some really nice content.
aww *sniff* thank you so much 😭
im using it to study lol
@@mirtaruffvida4805 same, haha! really makes you feel like you're elsewhere, no?
Nahida's helping you to study lol
@@jnpwt hhhhh
I don't know if it's because Nahida is the archon of wisdom but I find this OST extremely helpful when I'm trying to focus!! Makes me feel like a scholar pursuing some deeply hidden knowledge 😭😭
For someone reasons i can imagine as if the aranara are surrounding nahida or the greater lord herself as they sing this disturbing yet calm lullaby.
when I first heard it, it gave me a weird mixed feelings, creepy but also calm... I feel I am not able to do anything just to think about Nahida's past...
absolutely a masterpiece
I don't know why but when I hear this song my eyes fill with tears, it's like all the air in the room is disappearing and can't breathe anymore
SHE WATCHED THIS MUSIC FOR 25,000+ HOURS 💀💀💀 thats like 8 human generations
This song feels so ominous, yet like magic. It feels like magic is being created right in front of you, and you’re watching in amusement. But, it’s like the magic is dark magic. And you’re at a risk by just standing in front of it. The story of Sumeru is still so crazy to me. How Rukkhadevata got erased in the end, and Nahida didn’t even remember anything about Rukkhadevata. And Nahida was trapped in the Sanctuary for 500 years. She was like a child when she was put into the sanctuary. She never had the time to play happily, and never had the time to be like a child. Instead, she was trapped. Trapped inside of the sanctuary for what was hundreds of years, with everyone supporting the imprisonment of their own archon. Even though, she only cared for her people. Just like all of the other archons.
This music is so calming yet gives me the creeps
To me, this song sounds like you’ve just realised something is *very* wrong and there is nothing you can do about it. It’s so unnerving but calming at the same time and I love it.
It's feel.... so.. Pure..
yet feel so majestic and terrifying
Сначала думаешь, что за прекрасная музыка, но после того как всё дальше и дальше познаёшь лор Нахиды, эта музыка словно прессом давит на душу, заставляя сочувствовать персонажу и вспоминать всё что она переживала. (Особенно после трейлера "С днём рождения, Нахида" чувствуешь себя более подавленным)
It has a scary, mystical, and mysterious vibe and that's what I love about it!
I remember when I first heard this in game I just sat there and let it Play for a while,,, I was so mesmerised
imagined if this music is played in enkanomiya back then,,,,,, the eeriness is on peak XD,,,,,,,port ormos might be one of the best soundtrack in sumeru but to me this soundtrack is one of the most unforgetable, the feeling between sadness, anger and divine is mixed, not to mention it connected to the story of rukhadevatta, and how sumeru's story (not only archon's act, also world's quest) can changed and darker, genshin slowly following it's predecessor, honkai :"D
I'm so grateful to everyone who watches this and who likes it, thank you!!! 💔
im sure people listen to this not watch it
Lumine: *Rescues Nahida from 500 years of Jail Entrapment Slumber*
Nahida: *Nah the church music here vibing too hard take me back bro*
Unlike other people, who may have an unsettleing feeling with this theme, i actually feel light headed, its so eery that it calms me, i always believed it was a kind of tune that Rukkhadevata left behind for Nahida, without knowing that her people would lock her in there
when i heard this while nahida explaining to us about the descenders and all that i felt really like im hearing knowledge i shouldnt be knowing about
This feel like... you're trapped and sad because you aren't free .I can ear sad melodies, the Singer seems sad sad because they're stuck in this place for centuries
This music really does make you feel like you're in the presence of a divine being.. a _God_
this soundtrack (or song), is probably one of the most heavenly songs I have ever heard. heavenly with a hint of terrifying things in the song, and when I first heard this soundtrack, I was so in love with the song and some chills ran down my spine. i personally think that this soundtrack was a great turn while Nahida was telling us about the descenders and answering our questions to add that creepy feeling.
this soundtrack in question though, really is calming but is terrifying along with Damslette’s/Columbina’s singing too, I really like this soundtrack a lot
I don’t know why but the start give me really like Ocarina of Time/Temple of sages vibes and as a big fan of the game the first time I heard that ost it bring me so many nostalgia. Man I love this feeling thanks Genshin for that
i have a math test tomorrow, hoping the archon of wisdom will bless me as i listen to this fine tune whilst studying (will update with my score once I get it)
also, while her banner is still up, i'm at soft pity and will pull for her c2 tomorrow (i already have c1)
edit: got a 96/100 💪 lost the 50/50 to tighnari though :(
edit 2: i have two tests tomorrow and will continue to do this great test ritual yes (no i am not superstitious or anything just doing this for the funsies + great song to study to)
edit 3: 100% on math but 72% in latin
Listening to this makes me feel like Im in another world.
Its like I am inside a large ancient jade hall large enough for the echoes of choir to be heard everywhere. Maybe the echoes are coming from this beckon of light, mysterious yet it feels like its at peace just right in front of me.
When me and my friends heard this for the first time, they told me it was scary and it reminded them of the lore where people where suffering while this bgm plays, weirdly enough I find this bgm so calming for some reason that I can't explain and even my friends were weirded out when I said it was calming lmao
if i get reborn into genshin as someone from sumeru id pray to nahida any day if it means i can hear this awesome music
That art is phenomenal
ngl when I first heard this OST in the Sanctuary of Surasthana, I felt an emotion that I cannot describe.
it's so beautiful yet so creepy...
"you once said i had no standing to judge you, well how about a judgement in the name of a god?"
We're getting a new name out with this one
when a literal child (children being opposite of wise LOL) is the literal god of wisdom
Idk it kinda makes her interesting as an archon to me. Just imagining the god of wisdom to be wise and all knowing like an elder or a mage, but it's a little kid 😂
It does feel like we are in the presence of something so godly and totally incomprehensible to the human mind. Something that does not wish to hurt us, but so easily could should we anger it.
The official name of this track is Benevolence Bequeathed, for those who are trying to find it on the official release
I love how eerie this track sounds, but idk unlike nahida i’d probably go insane if i was stuck listening to this for 500 years 🙂
This song very much gives Temple of time vibes from Legend of Zelda, Honestly love how much Hoyo is inspired from other pieces of Media
*YOU are Teyvat's Fourth Descender*
I listened to it 2 times while preparing for tomorrow's test
Listen to it again if u succeeded. The wisdom archon has blessed your ears to bless your minds.
oh god how i love this music, im coming back to nahida's jail just to listen to this pretty sounds
I was blown away when I first heard this music, it sounds ethereal, music from another dimension
> A wave of calm washes over you as you wander through the empty halls. "Be not afraid and speak without fear, mortal," a kind voice is heard, yet you are all alone. "You are in the presence of the God of Wisdom. What worry ails you, child?"
i feel this song represents nahida's loneliness because she was trapped there for 500 years
feels like a calm, peaceful being gently guiding you to the realm of madness
The chores : Holy
The Art : Wholesome
I still don’t understand why they didn’t add this to Spotify.
Начать играть в геншин было лучшим решением в моей жизни!😭💗
Один этот саундтрек нереально захватывает,а вот вся игра..
This is making me shift into some kind of space and I don't know how to feel about it
I listened to this video in the background of making my Rukkhadevata cosplay. I lost count of how many times I watched it but I reached at least 6
It's so ethereal, I love it so much.
This makes me feel like i’m diving into the unknown and leaving everything behind
knowing that the traveler is the sole witness of greater lord rukkhadevata's sacrifice, death in its deepest meaning, being lost and forgotten forever, all mention of your name and even any effect you may have had on the world gone forever, makes me feel this immense feeling of loss and dread. it makes me so upset, shes just gone from everything for ever, and no one will ever utter or even think her name again. i hate genshin impact
I love this theme, the first time I entered the sanctuary I felt melancholic, safe and very comfortable, I felt the place sooooo peaceful, also kinda divine.
Love this song, makes me feel melancholy for my home, as if I finally returned after a long time through many stories and many experiences, feels like home.
It feels so oddly soothing and eerie.. I’m starting to feel sleepy
Man, Genshin will always have the best music to me, it's just so beautiful
Thank you for posting this! Easily one of my favourite Sumeru soundtracks. It sounds so ethereal and lonely because of Nahida's story and what she was exposed to.
People who plays music in Genshin are very talented, they able to matched the themes on each regions.
its so eerie and gorgeous. this has to be my favorite ost of all time.
frighteningly ethereal
I want to hear this with dynamics around me!
If this song will be played at my funeral, I will surely ascend to heaven.
it has a feeling of "don't worry, lean back. there is nothing you can do about this, so don't waste your time and energy." to me. calming eeriness.
i love how this ost reminds me how we dont know almost anything about what really happened in teyvat and that nahida isnt telling us the most important points.
I looooved hearing this in the bg while big lore bombs were dropped in the quest
(I don’t why, I just thought this up while listening to this music)
“Well greetings humble Traveler, I’ve been watching you for quite a while, and I must say, I’m quite impressed, ehe.”
“Anyways, I would like to say my thanks to you for saving me and Sumeru..”
“I couldn’t possibly give you anything for my gratitude… Oh? I don’t need to give you anything? You are too kind Traveler.”
“Let’s get back on topic though. Why did you come for me?”
“…I’m assuming that it has to do with.. your sibling, I presume?”
“Aha. You’re guessing that I should know something about your sibling’s whereabouts, right? Hehe, I mean, I AM the god of wisdom.”
“Truth be told though, I’m not sure about that. I bet Greater Lord Rukkhadevata could’ve known. She would’ve done a better job than me, heh…”
“But I should not dwell on the past.”
“Anyways, I can search Irminsul for your sibling’s whereabouts, but their current whereabouts will not be guaranteed.”
“Still, consider this my gift of gratitude to you for saving us.”
“..It won’t be too hard for me dear Traveler, don’t worry..”
“I’m not the grand, picturesque, Greater Lord everyone expects, but…”
“..I’m not to be underestimated.”
“Nonetheless, you should get going.”
“You’re quite the busy bee, hehe.”
“Farewell, Traveler, I hope your journey goes well.”
“Traveler, wait, I forgot to tell you something.”
“Be cautious. Always trust your gut, alright?”
“Anyways, I’m sure you must get going.”
“I’ll be looking out for your next grand adventure, star-born Traveler.”
This song gives a sort of haunting feeling of something impending, although you can't put into place what will happen or when.
Ashikai's theory of Nahida being the archangel of the Heavenly Principles really suit this theme.
i never thought i'd hear one of the most touching themes for divine enlightenment in an anime waifu slot machine. it's almost like a prophecy for Nahida, anticipating her coming into godhood. her blooming from a fragile child into her true identity. because it is known who she is and her godhood is a repeating of a cycle.
Am I the only one who thinks this sounds like log in screen? But this is so mesmerising !!🎆🌃🌉🌆
Надеюсь,люди понимают,что пение детей-пение аранар,как бы «детей» рукхадеваты,невероятная отсылка.
I hope this gets million views one day💚
whenever i had to go to the place this plays for a quest i just. stood there for a bit listening to it and looking around. its so magical feeling, like youre witnessing something beyond yourself, but not something explicitly malicious.
First Damselette's song, now this. Genshin has some great ambient vocal tracks!
I fucking love this so much. Thanks for this ...
thank you dear ㅠㅠ
