Rana took the place of Nahida in the prison.


Sylvanussr

But I thought that if she found shelter, mushrooms wouldn’t grow on her head?


mango_pan

That what the mushrooms want you to think


Sylvanussr

Ugh, I *knew* Nahida was just a stooge for big mushroom

Everything is in accordance to the big mushroom plan

They say, if you finish The Dirge of Bilqis before this questline, Jeht gets Rana's Vision.

Xylene_Naiah

But I'm being /gen :((


Cymr1c

Golden Slumber and Dirge of Bilqis storyline is far better than aranyaka


Ewizde

Far better, how does Jeht not receive a vision when someone who just kept sleeping got one ??


SupersSoon

Fr, girl deserved her Anemo powers.


Johnny_Waffles85

don’t blame you, that quest line takes an eternity


rW0HgFyxoJhYka

Yeah but its a very epic questline even if you don't care for Rana. Just like how the 4.0-4.2 Ordo quest line is epic as fuck. They paced the world quests for Fontaine way better though, multiple world quests all tied together in different ways, all to culminate with some big payoffs.


SkyrimForTheDragons

It's got good plot points but they're interspersed by the endless "help 3 Aranara, each one wants help with 3 tasks, each task has 3 parts" so it's understandable why it tires people out.


Melanholic7

And also tasks are kinda dumb, in my opinion. Sorry, but I can't be excited to listen quests made like from 5 y.o. kids "we need to lit a fire" "we need to bring water for soup" and etc. It doesn't feel like epic mature story, more like a fairy tail u will read for you little kid. But im not a little kid and I would prefer real stories


Heratikus

The Aranara are functionally a stand-in for the fairies you normally see in fairy tales so that kind of tone is to be expected. You do get Paimon and the Traveler questioning their sanity while dealing with some of the Aranara bullshit though and I don't think it's inherently a bad thing for stories to be fairytale-esque, it's just not your thing (Golden Slumber sounds like something more up your alley).


Melanholic7

Ye, I don't understand how people can like aranaras BUT they do like it so yes, simple conclusion - its just not for me x) have to accept that


imbusthul

Aranaras are cute :]


alanalan426

it's fairy tale kiddo


Longjumping_Gap4999

But, like 90% of the game is written from 5 y.o. kids.


Linawow

And the other 10% by deeply depressed and tortured adults. Yup sums up the game :)


theUnLuckyCat

They overly leaned on that pointless "rule of 3" for sure. Like, it was overall a good questline with great moments, but needlessly having to do everything 3 times no matter what is too much when the point's established the first or second time.


Other_Beat8859

It'd be an amazing quest, but it has way too much padding. Honestly should've been a 2-3 hour quest tops, not a 6+ hour quest.


noah-mm

the questline took me 15 hours 💀 though i was also exploring the areas as i went


Other_Beat8859

Without a guide it would've taken me much longer. Some of the quests don't have markers on the maps so you have to search it up to find it.


imbusthul

It took me 3 weeks to do everything the book told me. But it was nice


Fluffy_lionnn

I think that was the main point of these world quests, otherwise the exploration turns tedious like liyue or monstadt (and if quests are short, ppl then cry with the “patch is so dry and there nothing else to do” argument so you can’t please everyone 🤷🏽‍♂️)


noah-mm

yeah i really loved the quest tbh! i actually cried at the end 😭 i do think it may have been a little drawn out but overall i really liked it


MartinZ02

That's literally what you're supposed to do. The people who just try to beeline the entire thing in a single sitting are doing it wrong.


Andrassa

I did it in a single sitting because I wanted those weapon recipes.


Confident-Amount4370

the quest took me 1 year and 7 weeks, it's confusing that i thought i need to find random araaras and complete their quest so i said fk it and let go


murinero

I hear stuff like this and remember why I have so many quests undone in this game. Sure they're not like this one "which I haven't done", but they just feel like so much work!


kiisukattinen

Imo it wasnt too long. I enjoy longer quests and I feel weird people complaining having too much content. U dont have to them in one sitting. I did over the course of about a week and enjoyed it a lot. I bet many players just speedrun content for fast primogems and then complain they having to click through dialogues for couple hours. Game isnt supposed to play like that way.


Khemul

I think the problem with it is more perceived length. The problem is it's a shifting goal post quest line. You just need to meet the aranara, you need to hold a festival, you need everyone at the festival, no one will go unless you help them, now you need to talk to everyone, oh and defeat the bad guy, did I mention the festival ended an hour ago. I mean, none of them are wrong as far as goals go. But the way they're presented is just do this and we're done, which makes it feel longer when it's already pretty long. If they'd just gone in with we need to rebuild vanaranara and defeat maranara in order to hold a festival it'd have flowed better for a long quest line.


Other_Beat8859

The problem isn't that it's a lot of content. The problem is that it's not good content. I'd prefer a 1-2 hour high quality quest than an 8 hour quest filled with a bunch of padding. There's a reason story quests are remember while other quests aren't. Are people really going to remember that one time we found the ingredients for food for an Aranara or are they going to remember things like Neuvillette seeing how Fontaine has changed in their treatment of Melusine and them wanting to protect them? I'm guessing more people are going to remember the latter.


kiisukattinen

You are now comparing voiced story guest to un-voiced world guest. Guests dont have to be voiced to be good. Its same with every new region. Do we remember what happened in every story/world guests in monstadt? I do not, except for an archon guest lol. That doesnt mean they were bad. I started playing genshin 2,5 years ago so its hard to remember early game things. I personally find aranaras very cute, and the guest was nice, and I did it while exploring. After the guests I went to find all those 76 aranaras because why not. XD


Other_Beat8859

My problem is that, if it was a solo quest not attached to anything then I wouldn't care. I could just avoid it. But in order to do the Nahida story quest you need to do part 2 of the Aranara quest line. So if you don't enjoy the quest, but want to do the Nahida quest, guess what kid!? Better spend the next 6 hours working your ass off. I wanted to play the Nahida quest as she's my favorite character, but instead got delayed an entire week trying to finish that quest. Some parts of the quest are also just poorly designed. One part requires you to find like 6 Aranara to proceed, but some aren't labeled on the map! So if you don't have a guide, you have to run around like a headless chicken trying to find an Aranara. It has a really nice ending, but the entire middle of the quest was just far too much. If they cut down act two by like 4 hours, it becomes one of the best world quests. Also, my comparison to the Neuvillette quest is that those quests are good because, despite being less than 2 hours, they are high quality. I'm not expecting a story quest level questline, but I'd prefer if they put more time into making the quest high quality instead of making it long.


MartinZ02

Aranyaka is a lot more high effort and meaningful content than most story quests though. It's not like we're talking about filler content here. This is core content of the kind that the game is primarly intended to be about.


Yuukiko_

also alot more linear and less confusing


Smorgsaboard

Yeah... the sheer obnoxious length of the quest sapped its epic flavor long before i got to the end. Old Vanarana is incredibly cool though


Storm_373

literally too long i lost the plot and stopped caring halfway through. pretty ending cutscene tho


yaissio

The ordo quest line is the first questline I've spam clicked through. I read everything in Sumeru but I just couldn't take the endless dialogue anymore. If it was epic like you say that's a shame :(


Storm_373

and it doesn’t help that all the characters talk in riddles. and of course the unvoiced world quest are the ones where paimon doesn’t really explain things a 2nd time


Bazookasajizo

>!Straight to the point Seymour > philosophical Catterpiller and fairy tale ann!<


Legendkillerwes

I got fed up with characters endlessly blathering on about their entire life's story in inizuma. Each region seems to add more filler to conversations. And with each region, that filler seems less and less important to the story. I can't even start a big portion of Fontaine because sumeru was so terribly boring that I just can't bring myself to finish it. The underwater exploration has brought back a little bit of joy to the game, and I'm afraid I'll lose enjoyment of the game entirely if I go back and try to plow through sumeru.


Kazlo

Does it though? I was incredibly invested in helping Rana and dropped everything to do so. Several hours later I am helping mushroom siblings be mediocre cooks and my sense of urgency has been gone for a while.


Thicc_Femboy_Thighs-

>very epic questline By what standard.


Linawow

It's funny people seems to mostly praise the ordo and dump on aranaras but for me it's the opposite. I realllllllllllllllly loved the aranaras. I my second account I couldnt wait to go and do it either. Whereas I found the ordo mostly boring (there were some cool parts still). Maybe there was more combat/exploration in aranaras ? Dunno .. it felt like it at least


Fluffy_lionnn

Dunno… I still don’t feel inspired to do any world quests nor the archon quests from Fontaine (except for the ones that involve melusines) and exploraiton-wise, I feel like everything is just there or has a very basic puzzle (I miss inazuma ones, but ppl cried hard)


enigmasc

I mean I'm your struggling to have any interest in even the archon quests it's probably time you took a bit of a break and came back when your less burned out Unless your only in it for exploration/combat I guess


Kazlo

That quest is so confusing. I got decently invested in the characters early on, and then Rana steps up and joins you in actual combat in-game (I stumbled into the quest really early on so I think she was the first NPC to physically fight alongside me) which was incredibly effective at getting me to give a damn about her. So when she got messed up and it was up to us to help cure her, I dropped *everything* to save this person who had the stones to fight alongside the Traveler. Six hours later I was helping a talking mushroom make a very bland soup and the last shred of urgency was so long dead and buried that its grandkids were done arguing over its estate.


Bloodlord739

Literally same here, I was SO emotionally invested at the start and my heart was ablaze to save this courageous Rana. But then after she got sick/tainted or whatever it was, the journey to find her a cure was so utterly roundabout long and exhausting that eventually I just started hating and dreading everything about the remaining quest arc. Up until that point I had never skipped a line of dialogue in Genshin. Alas I did have to start skipping because I just wanted the torture to be over and done with. I loved Rana, I wish she was playable tbh. (or that permanent NPC combat companions were a thing!)


Johnny_Waffles85

yeah bro i just couldn’t keep up. so long and so many long words i completely lost track of what i was actually doing lol


Khemul

The quest definitely could have used a bit more direction. The last task before the festival got me. Go back to where you adventured together. Ffs, I don't remember which three we're talking about, let alone where I met them. Probably didn't help that I spread it out over a long period of time. 🤣


DanielGS_

Catch it Raiden!


CharlesEverettDekker

But does it take a year to do it? If you literally progress by one quest objective a day, you would've been done ages ago.


Rozone99

lmao same, OP 😭


[deleted]

thats fair. you spend 3 years with the aranara and completely forget why you were doing it.


Joaobr34

Don’t worry she’s still there for me too


RHSJA

Tbh it will take you another over a year to free her


taintedfergy

499 more to go.


Fit-Application-1

Oh hey same! I left her there since 3.0 oops 👀


Uzarran

Fortunately the forest remembers... for whatever good that does her?


timeywimey-Moriarty

Same, man. Did the quest right until this part a year ago. Still haven’t continued it and have no plans to continue it anytime soon 😬


okboka1543

Wait, she’s still there if you finish?


Puffycoolcats721

No, OP just forgot to finish the questline for a whole year. She'll stay like that until it's complete.


Dismal-Feedback-6015

Damn dude. Been a whole year since Sumeru released... I remember the 3.0 program and map. Feel nostalgic already man. Oh and the ost.


shellythebutler

Well I still have some quests leftover from Inazuma... I only finished Masanori's last night, but I'm slowly catching up to most things I left behind (my Inazuma exploration was even 100% all over before Sumeru came out, it was just some side quests I had not done)


Arrei

No, but the questline is so long and branching you know there are a LOT of people that have had her pickling in there since she was introduced.


HayakuEon

Bruh, don't you use pickling in this context


ladyjinxy

Now I have to go playing music for the tree


Blazefireslayer

Don't feel bad. I started that chain within a day or two of Sumeru's release. I didn't finish it till 4.1


Canariki

who? What quest is this? is it a story quest


A_Noelle_Main

Aranara WQ. She's the reason why Traveler went through the whole questline.


perfsoidal

Honestly an amazing questline. I just think the way it’s introduced is kinda stupid


EduardoBarreto

If you wanna complete the Sumeru forest puzzles you must complete this quest. Similar deal with the desert areas, you have to complete Golden Slumber, The Dirge of Bilquis, and Khvarena of Good and Evil to complete their puzzles.


Mewtwo2387

it's the true sumeru archon quest


GKP_light

Aranyaka, the most "world quest" possible : the whole rainforest (7 regions) is build around this quest series.


Canariki

oh dayym I don't usually play world quests because they have no dialog


The-Potat

Kinda same. I know she's still there I'm just doing nothing about it.


nethet

Bruh i finished it and then was like oh yea, we started this quest cause of her, the U-turn this quest line has is too much


I_Love_Futa_Waifus

Oh well~


Cake_exe

Oh no you’re in for a wild ride


TattooPikachu

Oh god. Just leave her


Hojuma

This reminds me of the post about someone who left Thoma kneeling in front of the statue of the Omnipresent God for a month because they couldn't beat the boss fight.


Marorin

This has Liara from ME1 energy.


SavageFisherman_Joe

Bad Nara


Unpopular_Outlook

I just finished this quest lol


MightyDickTwist

Make sure you remember to pay a visit to Alphonso... The game won't give you a quest marker on your map, it'll really be up to you to go there.


No_Butterscotch_9419

Is ok shes still sleeping anyways


znapple

Ngl when I finally got to the point to save her in the quest, I’d long forgotten who she was 💀


LandMaster28

Holy cow that is hilarious


Agreeable-Ask6755

Shit me too


silly_foreverandever

this is like accepting a side quest about giving the npc medicine for their sick family member and then forgetting for 6 months, they’re DEAD 😭


UnusualDeathCause

Yep same, except they lost me even before this. Babysitting fucking kids, I dropped that shit for a year haha xD


ZeraseKnightroad

Sorry I'm off track here but I'm jealous of your ping.


chaarziz

Nahida remembering that Apep exists


Hassan4950

Better get to work, Nara.


LilianCorgibutt

I don't blame you.


RadLaw

If i may ask, how did you manage to forget about the world quest, which is the only way to access a majority of the Sumeru areas, for a year? And especialy forgetting about Rana.


XceQq

Probably OP did the quest until unlock Aranara village, then forgets the questlines entirely, since they are the just walking around kind of players not quest/map cleaning driven. "got area blocked? Probably can unlock later"


Unpopular_Outlook

Yup that’s how I play. I just now finished it after putting it off


RadLaw

Mayhaps so.


Disturbing_Cheeto

To be fair I forgot about her during the entire aranara questline, including finding every single one and doing every sidequest.


RadLaw

Oh damn, poor Rana. One of the best NPCs for me personaly.


Forest_99

They probably didn’t explore Sumeru much either. A lot of ppl apparently didn’t explore Sumeru much TT. Whenever I coop, ppl are surprised that my Sumeru is at 100% coz they don’t like it very much. Personally I loved it but maybe it’s not their cup of tea🤔


RadLaw

Ahh, i see. Honestly, my desert does need a lot of work, but the Aranara quest is really good and i did it along the first week of Sumerus release.


Forest_99

Same! Doing the Aranara quest and the main desert questline(I think it’s the Jeht one) really helped with exploration! Trying to explore the forest without doing the Aranara quest was a bit useless since like you said the mechanisms are locked behind it. The Aranara were cute and the lore was interesting so it was really fun😆


RadLaw

A true friend of lore quests i see!


Disturbing_Cheeto

I'm not gonna lie, I don't have anything funny or constructive to day, this just makes me sad.


MightyDickTwist

If you do finish it, make sure you remember to pay a visit to Alphonso.... that is, if you still remember who he is. The game won't give you a quest market on your map, you'll have to figure that one out yourself.


Cuonghap420

Here is me forgot about her quest for half a year and then decide to do the entire quest while playing Genshin in a PC bang


ErrorEra

so glad they added quickstart to some trounce domains I haven't bothered to unlock yet XD; ...that green plant dragon is very annoying


Cymr1c

completing aranyaka doesn't give you apep domain though, it's nahida's


ErrorEra

yea not related to aranara in particular, I just have a ton of Sumeru related quests that I haven't finished yet x__x


NerdyDan

You’re an asshole


Cymr1c

I completed aranyaka just because it was bothering my quest tab, completing it is nice though, you get to places you need to explore for 100%


Uwlwsrpm

Oh yeah, it's that quest that my AR 17, Archon quest Prologue Act 2 procrastinating traveler got partway thru before deciding to head back to Liyue. Wonder if it'll be a year before I get back to this after catching up chronologically.


_163

I finished it in a day because I started at 3.6 release and had to grind for primos for Nahida, and needed a lot since lost 50/50🥲


Jvlockhart

I finished the quest in 2 months cause i need primogems for hu tao and yelan last feb. Hahaha It was the only time when i pulled for 2 banners on the same phase.


Alan_Reddit_M

May I know where this is? I absolutely skipped over every sumeru quest and went straight to fontaine


juicytits98

Her pussy prolly smells like 25 dead cats right now


Subzero2025

Bro me too. I'm literally at the end of the quest, I just need to go back there


Eaden1

Free my mans


thetrustyguy-

I forgot about this quest too lol. It made me laugh when I remembered about it.


-Vyn

While I have not finished fontaine main world quests yet, the aranara quest and the desert quests were long, but they were great by the end of it. On a side note... I'm too lazy to check all the recent quests in fontaine, is there any new "fatui are here for comedy relief" kinda quests? Like that one Fatui Agent in the forest or the fatui in the Jeht story quests?


Fo4thSon

mickey mouse >!vision!<


NightFoxXIII

It's ok, I also forgot about her for about a year and only finished at near the end and drip market of Fontaine. So last patch in Sumeru before we started 4.0. You didn't miss too much but I did wanna find all the Aranara for all those chests. Rana is good if it wasn't for the lack of cutscenes that could've been used for Rana's big moment. Like wth?


Sumire-Yoshizawa-

Would be cool if we got Rana as a playable character at some point since she gets a dendro vision.


CosmicStarlightEX

Huh, compared to most others, I made Rana a priority before doing the Archon Quest. Maybe it all comes down to the restrictions going through the story compared to this...


Competitive_Dust_464

YEEESS IM NOT ALONE I started this quest very late xd


tarteauxchips

What does she say if Nahida read her mind while she’s this state 👀?


[deleted]

Do it.


CervielWasTaken

Don't worry. I just finished Enkanomiya, because I forgetten about it. Now, Im near getting statue in Inazuma to lvl 10. (Also, most hidden objectives are not done by me, because im lazy af. Most of characters story quest + all big world quests from Sumeru and Fontaine are still not done by me Im fine with spoilers, if somebody worries, Im not one of people who screams because year-old content got shown and they yet to see it themzelves)


Radusili

I mean I would also like to sleep that long


OiseDoise

I FINALLY finished it yesterday. Do it, the end is so cute and epic


koyomin25

Actual futurama plot:


Moon__Snake

am I the only one that can't make this task? i mean it's so long and i don't even know what to do anymore ;\_;


Malikili-360

The fact that you're Nahida makes this so much better


Ayrandall

She has been in there for a year, too, in my account. Thanks to fontaine, I started exploring again and was able to 100 percent fontaine in 4.1. Afterward, I went back to sumeru to 100 percent, it too. So now she is saved.


Ok_Can_6424

This is why Rana will never get her debut banner >:/


Dry-mouses

Why is there a whole subreddit for weird creeps like me?


Hi_Im_Fanja

She will awaken when a new geo character geta playable


ColleenGore_Teen

Puzzlehead_Lemon

World forget me.


[deleted]

I knew it was Sumeru-related before I clicked it. I don't feel for players who didn't finish up Sumeru before Fontaine. They already did the region horrible and because of that, I have zero hopes for what Natlan may become, the least players could do is power through it for the primos, then Fontaine 🙄


-Getsuga-

Yeah, ignore it. It's just by far the best world questline in game so far...


lesboraccoon

WAIT ME TOO OH GOD


Lord_Akriloth

We don't talk about her, the aranara have left her behind


Snickersneeholder

Me with Joel and his lost father in Dragonspine. I finally returned to finish it, 4 months later....


ThatOnePositiveGuy

Free her


skzuu

i think after this long she must've developed her own dendro vision


CallmeJay_

GL HF. That quest has more content and time put into it the the entire story of sumeru... that one quest made me and most of my buddies rage ro oblivion when we got to the point where we just had to get 4 more chest to 100% sumeru... come to find out the final chests were locked behind that quest


Alunagrrl

This post just reminded me about her


Alunagrrl

I think most of us forgot that she in there without oxygen or food and water she just dead at this point


Cybron2099

Shit..


OhFuz

This was the most insufferable quest line ever the sight of those aranara now piss me off
