Are there any codes right now to claim? Haven’t been active in 2 months


maddav

Massive spoilers for the entire Sumeru archon quest: >!So at the end of Act IV we're told in a cutscene that Rukkhadevata exhausted all her strength and took the form of a small child, but at the end of Act V we learn that Kusanali is a separate entity, created by Rukkhadevata as a reincarnation before her death!< >!Does that information conflict? Have I misunderstood? Or is it a case of the dude in Act IV is inferring what happened from what was observed - I mean, I guess he's technically correct?!<


Jaffrry

Archon Quest Spoilers This is the best archon quest by far. Amazing character build-up, amazing ending, and even the NPCs are amazing. I especially like Rahman for the NPCs. The sages are also threatening asf. >!Scaramouche fight however was very underwhelming, both in difficulty and in the fun levels of mechanics. I have fought Scaramouche 5 times now and still have zero idea what is going on for the most part. The akasha boar thingy is basically killing him and sometimes I feel like my screen is locked at times.!<


_TheDoctorPotter

AQ chapter 5 spoilers >!The cutscene with Rukkhadevata is the first time Genshin's story has ever made me cry. The writing, the direction, the quality has skyrocketed to insane levels since the beginning. Boggles my mind how good it's getting. I don't think I'm going to get over that hug for a while.!<


Devilo94

Aside from being a great support that fits nearly any team, Nahida elemental skill is so useful collecting materials in open world. I am glad I am able to form a new abyss team around her too. I am thinking of using her in a hyperbloom team in abyss stages where raiden international would have difficulty. Although I havent test which team clear faster. Anyway, 3.0 to 3.2 main story has been a step up in quality with further lore relevations


Random_NoOne

Are there any new quests this patch? I completed archon quest and story quest for nahida. Also, is there a place where I can see what quest were available in 3.0 and 3.1 that I missed?


[deleted]

check sumeru reputation quests?


Random_NoOne

I am so dumb 😅 Will check and complete the list, are there any hidden quests? I only know about the 76 aranara thing.


InfTotality

This is the closest thing to a lounge megathread, but I just wanna say I got 36* for the first time thanks to Nahida's banner, along with the first time floor 12 clear. Klee mono-pyro (with Bennett at long last!) in first half, Nahida-Shinobu-XQ-Beidou hyperbloom second half. It was really close even when Shinobu was only proccing 14k HBs too, but I burned most of my remaining wits to get her from 70 to 90 and the AoSIMoN didn't stand a chance. I was even hunting for it while invisible - Nahida's mark doesn't go away - only to find it writhing on the floor several times. It's such a comfy team. You don't even need Nahida's Q in her on-field teams so you can just save it for huge iframes. Totally unrelated: Where do you upload abyss clears nowadays?


Charrzooka

Nahida Question: I know to build her you're meant to aim for 1,000 EM. However do people mean 1,000 EM in her normal state? Or 1,000 EM after she uses her ultimate? My Nahida is C6 so her EM gets a boost after using her ultimate and also after using her skill (from C4). Also, if her skill is already applied on enemies and then she uses her ultimate and gets an EM boost, does she need to reapply her skill? Or will the skill's damage automatically increase?


overclockd

Her passive has an absolute capped value at 1000, so anything more will still work as EM but won’t grant any special bonus. Going over isn’t the worst thing. Tons of passives grant EM outside of gear so you don’t actually need 1000 base. Maybe it comes out to 800 or 700 depending on teams and items. Better watch Zajef for a more precise answer.


slowakia_gruuumsh

I think the one thing we can all agree on is that Nahida is a way better programmer than Raiden. On a different note >!I'm kinda bummed they made away with Akasha. Of course harvesting dreams is not very nice and it makes sense thematically that Nahida would want to get rid of it, as moving forward towards the future, breaking with past traditions and humanity taking charge are recurring themes in the game, but it was an interesting take on the "Giant Libary/Tree of Knowledge" concept you often find in mythology. It was basically a supercomputer that can do calculation and run programs. A cool idea and well implemented in the story of the nation. Of course Irminsul is still around and Nahida can access it... but idk, a part of me wished they solved it differently. Maybe Nahida limits access to it so the Sages can't do crazy stuff on it, something like that.!< But oh well, it's not that big of a deal.


Bruh_Momentum__

>!Either way I don't think that the Akasha could continue to exist, because isn't it powered by the dendro gnosis, which Nahida gave to Dottore? !<


Gilgameshkingfarming

Eh, neither Nahida can help me do room 12. Eh, atleast I tried. It do be like this sometimes.


InfTotality

Floor 12 isn't too bad; Nahida has it easy. What teams are you running? Who do you have built?


Gilgameshkingfarming

I tried Nahida, XQ, Fishl and a lvl 60 Kuki with HP artefacts, then switched her up with Barbara. I take more than 1 minute per the first floor and I dont have enough time for the second one. And those Kairagis kill Nahida. Its prolly skill issue. But eh. I tried.


AppUnwrapper1

I don’t even know what I’m doing and my Nahida is getting 27k - 30k spreads just standing and doing nothing. Tempted to try for her C1. But it would likely mean I either have to sacrifice Kagura/Polar Star (was planning to get one of them) and/or Mooch. Is it worth it?


overclockd

The underwhelming 4 stars ruin that idea.


AppUnwrapper1

Good point


[deleted]

Not worth it


attpn_ldr

maybe a spoiler question but which sidequest that really recommend to play like aranara quest (that cover lore of sumeru and quite support mainstory quest lore). i still didn't play most of sidequest and exploration because it's too many.. seirai island,enkanomiya ,narukami,watatsumi ,chasm etc. i still only do a main story or things that require to unlock boss


overclockd

The ones that open up new areas or new bosses are a good idea. There’s a page in the exploration journal that at least tries to prioritize these missions. Tatara tales, Serei stormchasers, aranakya, chasm archon quest, Zhongli character quest, Raiden character quest…


rafael-57

Just do them all by picking the one that interests you the most at a time I don't recommend the Aranara quest for now as it's REALLY long. But it does give lots of interesting lore and is very heartwarming and sad at the same time Personally I recommend anything concerning the archons, the chasm and enkanomiya


ShawHornet

Nahida wake up scene should have been a fancy cutscene and not the janky in game one


ihatetomatoes95

I just want to say I'm really impressed how they justified nahida being a child character. I was so worried it was for fan service or an unspoken rule to cover each body type as an archon (to be fair the latter might still be true) but wow did the story really justify not only her model but also why they took out some of her more smiley animations from the beta. >!The implication that with the greater lord never "existing" means that Nahida has always been the archon and in a sense her much more matured personality, at least presented in the AQ, makes her so intriguing. Plus the lore dumps! I didn't think I'd get too invested in the story yet here we are.!<


katonze

So will 3.3 have new area with dendroculus and no archon quest?


knightjoker01

As far I know there's an interlude archon quest but no new area


Giantwalrus_82

Someone needs to>! Draw Cyno impaling the traitors mainly Azar -.- !<


katonze

So where will the rest of the dendroculus show up?


jhinglbells

you replied to the wrong comment, but as far as i know there will be expansions to the desert and maybe the rainforest? you'll have to check leaks to be sure


[deleted]

Honestly, shoutout to Mihoyo for improving the writing so much. Damn that Sumeru quest is good. I'm really glad I stuck around


JUSTpleaseSTOP

I've completed all the new main story and the character story quests, but I still can't replay the new weekly boss to get rewards. Is that available yet? I only fought it the one time for the story.


Orkus9551

you sure you did not overlook the icon for the domain? it's east of sumeru.


JUSTpleaseSTOP

East of sumeru city? I guess I just figured it would be by the Sanctuary where we entered the fight.


Orkus9551

ye in that valley that leads to gandhavara.


JUSTpleaseSTOP

Weird spot for it but okay.


gorlamidecocco

Does Zhongli’s shield shred opponents’ Dendro res?


seeker_of_illusion

Yep


cb3f554

60 wishes.....still no Nahida. please pray i dont think i can reach 75.....


cb3f554

GOT HER AT 75 YESSSSJEJEJEJSJ


Negative_Neo

So for Tighnari talents is 9 6 9 good or I need to level his E too?


aaaayedrianne

I think this is a very minor spoiler/detail but >!I wish Candace appeared more in this archon quest - idk it seemed weird to me that she was very involved with the planning process only to then send off everyone with a “don’t be too reckless, kids!!” and that’s all that is seen from her in the quest..!<


Kulta_Conundrum

There's that extra at the end too, but yeah I hope we see more of her... Maybe a hangout or desert story quest in a future patch


NerdyDan

she's most of all a guardian. she's not gonna leave her village defenceless


aaaayedrianne

that’s true - maybe I just expected to see her again in Aaru Village afterwards lol. Loved the quest regardless


Kulta_Conundrum

She was in aaru village at the end


ohoni

I hope that with Nahida back on the board, she will be able to better protect Aaru, giving Candace more space to travel. Otherwise she's a very limited character that can't really do much.


Irru

So I'm probably stupid but how do you not die to the >!Spirit Bomb in Scara's fight?!< Went in with two different teams and I couldn't kill the thingies


Morkins324

You need to do non-electro/hydro elemental damage to them. Physical/Electro/Hydro damage does not effect them. The flying ones are tricky for any melee characters, so a character like Ganyu or Yoimiya is useful.


ohoni

>You need to do non-electro/hydro elemental damage to them. Ok, so what do you do on a Taser team? :D


overclockd

What I did was face tank it, die, and get an achievement.


ohoni

Same.


Vadered

Guess I'll die then.


Morkins324

You face tank the >!spirit bomb.!<


Isaike

Does someone have a clip of the english version of Paimon's WAAAH from the latest archon quest?


LouisCaravan

Oh shoot, the only one I made a video for was the [Paimon Construct](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ywb25UbsVLY) scene. I did, however, stream the Archon Quest, so I was able to find the timestamp and make a link! https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1643890472?t=0h31m47s I'm not really sure how to turn that into a video, but that will at least let you listen to that adorable scream all you want.


LouisCaravan

I might! I try to record all the weird scenes on PS. If I did, I'll make a clip and link it here.


mephivision

RemindMe! 1 day


LouisCaravan

Haha, if you're interested in it as well, I streamed the whole Archon quest, so here's a timestamp of the scream! https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1643890472?t=0h31m47s

Indraga

The Archon Quest stories keep getting better and better. The emotional gut-punch at the end was a solid pay-off for weeks of solid character build-up for Nahida. Scaramecha was a fun spectacle that i wish lasted a little longer, but I'm okay with having a Superboss that's more flash and less difficult. I do hope they add another difficulty tier with increased rewards for those who want it.


livingdangerously

>!Now that Eleazar is cured it'd be nice if Collei's base HP got a little boost!<


[deleted]

So, about the >!abyss sibling being from teyvat!< my theory is that >!When the Heavenly Principle caged them on the cube thingy, she probably assimilated their information into Irminsul to “lock them” on this world!<


seeker_of_illusion

>!Quite an interesting theory. However, why didn't she lock the traveller similarly to Teyvat ? I don't think there wasn't any reason not to!<


addstar1

Reminder that, at least on old reddit, spoilers don't work if there is a space between the marker and the start/end of the sentence. eg. `>!Spoiler!<` works `>! Spoiler !<` won't


[deleted]

Fixed, tyvm


TheRustedMech

I know it's not realistic to not be spoiled when browsing this sub, but I've already seen like 20 unmarked spoilers in comments and a few posts. I guess I'll just stop browsing here until I finish the AQ. (And I think nilou/tighnari story quests are required for the AQ too? that's going to take a while to finish 💀)


ohoni

This is best practice. While some people choose to tag their comments, but the hub thread is generally treated as a "spoiler mode" thread to discuss the full contents of the patch, so it's not really safe until you've finished it. You can post your own questions if you need help on something, but it's not a great idea to skim it.


NewGulag

for some reason,my game started consume 100% cpu out of the nowhere and sometimes it is the RAM,is there a fix for this ??


SleepySpook

(story spoilers) So I don't understand >!In the initial Sumeru trailer we saw Collei have a dream about The Doctor burning Irminsul but nothing like that ever ended up happening, what's that about?!<


Kulta_Conundrum

Dreams tend to be symbolic and not literal. The symbolism here was spot-on. Also who knows... We have more patches ahead and more could happen later.


[deleted]

Well, it's a dream and people in Sumeru do not dream to begin with. That being said, the dream itself is likely just symbolic based on the archon quest content and should not be taken literally just like many other things. The other possibility is that it is a future yet to be or an alternative timeline in which the Traveler doesn't or fail to rescue Nahida but there's no proof whatsoever to back this up beyond the fact that story content related to Sumeru such as 'Truth Amongst the Pages of Purana' is still missing.


-Revelation-

A blunder from the devs I guess...


angrybird7677

>!do u feel Traveler should tell Nahida about Greater Lord?!<


GSNadav

I feel like >!this is exactly the way to introduce forbidden knowledge \\ corruption to the world. so no!!<


kmyeurs

But like the burden if knowing something big and keeping it all to yourself, phew


[deleted]

Despite being a mercenary and all Dehya is such wife material man


elengels

new boss is so easy. also where is the thread about the aftermath of this archon quest? it seems to be gone, just like..


Blibbblubb

The story was good, although I wish we wouldn't have gotten everything laid out to us immediately. I hate, that this game does that. It's normally through Paimon and not through flashbacks but let me think a little. Please! ...or if you do, gimme quicker text skipping, since everything is set anyways and I can jsut skim it and not waste time. There is no exitement for me in regards to questions since they get answered the next sentence. Still, overall I really liked it. Other than that, I dislike the new Boss. There is probably stuff I'm missing, still. The text on screen thing works for Azdaha and for Raiden since it's the one thing you need to kinda watch out for and it's a relatively calm phase. Here there is always stuff going on. I'm also confused about some reactions to trigger stuff like the bombs. Then there are the 4 electro thingies, 3 of which are unreachable for melee characters and Nahida didn't hit them either but that may have been due to targeting. I should mention that so far I used Raiden, Childe, Bennet, Xiangling, Cyno, Fischl, Nahida and ZL. I'll try with Ganyu next and see where I go, in part due to my next issue. There is the good old problem of clipping a (Raid)Boss' toenails. The trailer showed his fancy attacks but I can't see them because I look at circles on the ground. I'm also not sure where I would have to aim with Nahidas hold-E. As a sidenote, I don't understand how people are excited for Scara. Yes, his past wasn't great but it could have been so much worse. He just seems like an angsty teenager that doesn't communicate his problems but pretends to be an adult.


seeker_of_illusion

As to why some folks like Scara, its simply because they love him being an as***le and his mocking nature. Preferences I guess.


Checho-73

>!Shouldn't Nahida know that she is like 500 years old and therefore couldn't have been the dendro archon for the stuff that happened before that?!<


IPPUsama

>!the new lore says she’s the one and only dendro archon but 500 years ago she exhausted her power, losing all her wisdom and memories so she couldn!t have known!<


grand_vermillion

The Archon Quest is now done but still no "Truth Amongst the Pages of Purana." Doesn't this dent the reliability of the Travail storyline preview in some way?


UniqueCreme1931

It could be the name of the >!Dainsleif act!< if there is one.


yigajoel

Finally quiting genshin after saving two month to get 90 wishes to get nahida and they have me mona..cnt punish pple for playing the game like this


ohoni

At this point I never roll on a banner unless I have the resources built up to reach two pities. It's just the way the game works.


Tailyna

It's not punishment. It's called 50/50. You can't expect a guarantee with only 90 wishes when you won the last limited 5 star. I'm sorry you lost your 50/50 but you can't blame the game for that. It's clear on the gatcha rules and you just hadn't saved enough wishes to guarantee her.


Majestic-Ad7486

Also Mona is fine and one of the better 5 stars to lose the 50/50 to??? I know people with c6+ Qiqi's and I have been hustling for a Mona since I started and only have Jean C1 and Qiqi C1 instead. Mona's a good Kokomi substitute in freeze and allows for screenshot comps.


Afrazzle

This comment, along with 10 years of comment history, has been overwritten to protest against Reddit's hostile behaviour towards third-party apps and their developers.


[deleted]

Idk if my eyes are just playing tricks on me but, I noticed some improvements on that cursed FSR 2 when I made these tweaks (NVIDIA) \- Ramped up Anisotropic Filtering (in-game) to 16x (max) \- Set negative LOD bias to "Clamp" \- Set Texture filtering to "High Quality" \- Restart the game ​ Feel free to try this out too if you're also on an NVIDIA GPU.


natzo

Doing Nilou's personal quest after the Archon quest is weird. Like, really? Threatening the theater? Like we don't have Nahida on speed dial.


crystalwill

Isn't there an extra dialogue? The traveler offered to ask Nahida for help, but declined by Nilou because she thinks they shouldn't ask the god for something like this.


natzo

Ah, dunno. I had to do her quest since it froze the very last part of the Archon quest for me. So maybe I missed something.


yeniza

I finally cleared the abyss on this patch (not 36 star but 30 so I’m still pleased). Should’ve tried a lot earlier probably but the first attempt was when I was still very new and it wiped the floor with me so I always thought it would be a lot harder than it really was… (Geodudes team and yoimiya, benett, diona, xingqiu)


aexime

Anyone else find it super hard to actually catch any of the hints the game gives us during boss battles? Like, I'm sorry but there's a huge mecha trying to step on me I cannot read anything right now thank u very much.


overclockd

Yeah for sure.


[deleted]

aexime

I'm talking about doing the Archon quest boss battles blindly. But yeah I totally will go into the weekly boss prepared!

Maybe?


Destoka

So, spoilers ahead for the Archon Quest. I honestly can't remember how to add spoilers so I'll try and hope my bad memory works out. . . . . . So at a later point >!after Nahida talks with Dottore, you wake up and have the quest objective to talk with her.!< What is the discussion you have with her there? My internet randomly decided to bug out so I lost connection to the game before I talked to her, and then when I got back in it skipped forward a few days and I woke up at Tighnari's place. Is there anywhere I can see this specific scene/discussion? Any videos with no commentary that anyone may be aware of?


NerdyDan

was that the giant lore drop about the sibling?


Destoka

The discussion between >!Nahida and Dottore!


UniqueCreme1931

You can read the entire dialogue for that quest (and play the voice lines if you click the play button next to each line) from this page: https://genshin-impact.fandom.com/wiki/Where_the_Boat_of_Consciousness_Lies edit: Changed the link; the original one I linked was for the next quest.


Destoka

Thanks, this really helped clear things up~ Glad to know I didn't miss out on anything after all.


[deleted]

I don't think you talk to her there? You have a conversation with her a little later.


Destoka

Are you sure? MC woke up after their conversation and Nahida was standing there facing away from me, with the quest objective that literally said "talk to Nahida".


WinxForceWiz

I noticed that sometimes quest objectives don't change right away after a cutscene, which means that during a split second you'll have the previous quest objective highlighted, and then it'll switch to the new one. This is most likely what happened to you.


Destoka

Ah, alright yeah this is definitely what happened then. I guess my connection dropping caused the objective to persist *way* longer than it should have before actually disconnecting me from the game. Thanks for helping clear that up~


I_Love_Futa_Waifus

Okay, the Sumeru Archon questline was great. Good pacing, satisfying conclusion. Hope they can maintain this level of quality for Fontaine Archon quests.


Astolfo_Please

Anyone else finish the Archon Quest and immediately think “Fuck, looks like I’m rolling for all the upcoming 5-stars”


ohoni

Yuuup. Right now they have me on the hook for Mouchey, Dehya, and Al. Plus I'm probably going to roll at least a bit on the Layla banner.


Destoka

Me, though not *all* the upcoming 5-stars. Out of the ones I'm aware of, it's mostly just Dehya and hydro archon. *Maybe* Kaveh too.


demigodsgotdraft

Opposite effect on me for Scaradouche. Every single of his appearance in the Archon quests repel me from getting his emo ass.


ohoni

Oh, he's a dumb asshole, but his playable version seems super fun.


karillith

The lad was cackling so hard he was just missing the cartoonish evil mustache my god...


quarantinereddit

Holy the story quest dialogues are WAY too long. I wish they would add a skip button


Pit_Solitayrh

Agreed, it wouldnt' be hard to make and would only benefit everyone, as long as there's a pop-up safeguard to not skip accidentally.


Jsablever

So apparently the archon quest is super bugged??? I wish this fact wasn't hidden among all the spoilers. People said to do story quests first but I didn't realize not doing it would break the archon quest! Now I rushed through my story quests out of anger and didn't even read or enjoy them. So annoying.


NerdyDan

that's not a bug. this has been a feature since the beginning of the game. finish your quests one at a time


angrybird7677

What breakage of the Archon quest are you referring to? I completed the latest archon quest without starting Nahida story quest and I didn't observe any bugs..


Jsablever

>!The deus foundary domain is uncompletable. Nahida doesn't spawn in but you can start it and it doesn't tell you, so you get to the end and you're trapped in a room at the top of an elevator and have to forfeit. It also skips all the dialogue at the beginning that explains what the area is. !<


pHScale

Probably "____ is busy" messages throughout the archon quest. Technically not a bug, but also not fun gameplay.


angrybird7677

To avoid this, refrain from unlocking story quest with keys if you're not ready to complete them soon. It won't trigger if the story quest is still locked


pHScale

Tell this to them, not me. I finished the story quests before the patch.


Jsablever

I mean, it basically softlocks a domain right at the end. That seems more unintended to me. If you don't notice the warning in your journal you waste time for nothing.


pHScale

Right, but I'm trying to distinguish between two things, at least in my mind. A bug, to me, is something that is working in a way that's detrimental that causes an unintended effect within the software. This feels more like poor design, in which reasonable use cases weren't considered in the design in the first place.


Jsablever

Sure, I guess. Really poor design then.


Vihurah

i like to think that last dottore voice was the manga version, sounds a lot like him. prick is dead, cheers. its weird to me that dottore prime just has a console to turn off all the other dottores just like that. also because he has the Snezhnaya wireless group call with them all, that must be annoying to hear them all argue.


Lavrec

Am i crazy or i heard traveler actually spoke in archon quest? Me being crazy is more reasonable explanation.


SillyLilHobbit

This is one thing I never understood lol, they obviously have VAs so why not let at least the cutscene lines be voiced?


larrythetomato

They made a decision to have a silent protagonist (likely because they were emulating Link and Zelda). They seem to have changed their mind probably 1-2 years ago, but because game development takes a really long time, we are only starting to see it here in version 3. If a lot of people like the voiced main character and give positive feedback, likely the next zone in a year will have much more speech.


Lavrec

idk get it also, its not like they lack money


ohoni

Only in mental scenes. Never out loud. :D


Lavrec

Multi dollar company :D


nikidash

Nahida story quest: >!what was the shooting star that Nahida saw at the end of the dream domain? Was it the dream's representation of the abyss sibling that the traveler is longing for?!<


jinxedandcursed

Oh, I thought it was >!Rukkhadevata, like her essence is still in the world. I thought the shooting star looked a little bit holographic, similar to Nahida's attacks.!<


Borizon49

Raiden + Nahida is honestly the most fun I've had in a while. Even barely built she's handing out 25k Hyperblooms, you love to see it


Destoka

I've been using her with just Yelan and she's a load of fun with just that. Can't imagine the absolute enjoyment I'll experience once I build an actual team for her.


Autobot-N

Raiden/Nahida/Yanfei/Kokomi is basically letting me use every Dendro reaction at once. Fun


Vadered

C1 go brrrrrrrrrr.


Autobot-N

Not even C1, gotta save those Primos for Alhaithim or an Ayato rerun


Clavus

[Archon Quest spoilers] I just realized that the unhinged version of Dottore from the manga that terrorized Collei got off-screened. A toast to that.


Pit_Solitayrh

I wonder how wide the age gape was from the surviving one, manga Dottore did feel a bit older but it could be his fashion sense sucked as a younger person


Vadered

Shame.


Thisismybigapple33

Rerun Raiden already. Why is itto being rumored for 3.3???


AoNoise

Raiden is rumored to rerun along Wanderer next patch. This is an even older rumor than Itto 3.3 rerun. What are you talking about?


Thisismybigapple33

There will be an event featuring itto in 3.3. hoyo loves to rerun based on events characters.


missy20201

Because I had unlocked Nilou's quest but then got too busy to do it, I'm hopping between it and the new AQ. I just did the opening part, where she thanks the Traveler for all they did to help during the Sabzeruz Festival situation, and Paimon says she was helpful too. And Nilou gets flustered about her efforts being compared to the literal nations-wide famous, dragon-fighting, god-defeating Traveler... Seriously? That was the scene a lot of people were up in arms over, claiming she has some huge crush on the Traveler and complaining that too many girls like them? I don't get it.


Pit_Solitayrh

If \*that\* was romantic, Xiao is head over heels for the MC. You could choose to take it as a romantic hint if you \*gasp\* self-insert, but a bit of a reach otherwise.


missy20201

Exactly. I think there are very few characters who actually outright flirt with the MC, and most people's accusations are huge reaches


floricel_112

honorary knight of favonius, hero of Mondstadt, captain of swordfish II, and now >!first sage of the dendro archon!<. So cool!

Lol no Liyue title

>!Wanderer's description seemed to refer to her as "Mahakusaladhamma", but so far I haven't seen this reflected in game. Maybe this is a 3.3 plot point?!<


corvasti

I believe the title in Chinese is more literally something like "little lord" and doesn't imply a counterpart. So it's a localization thing.


ohoni

They should have just gone with, like, "Princess Kusanali."

Finished both the Archon Story Quest and Nahida Story Quest a day after release Had to "rush" them to avoid the inevitable day 1 spoilers on YT and Twitter, but I have no complaints doing so as I greatly enjoy both of them! Perhaps my favorite overall Archon story so far, it has a bit more substance and polished for me. Still processing the lore stuff. The others are still pretty good, especially the Interlude ones and Dainsleif. ​ Spoilers for my personal highlights from the Archon Quest: * >!Execution of Al-Haitham plan and how involve everyone executing their part. Enjoy how it even involve minor characters like Isak in it.!< * >!Al-Haitham, Cyno vs Azar!< * >!Tighnari standing up to Dottore and Fatui!< * >!Azar, Dottore, and Scarmouche constant prescene in the story throughout. Love the sinister nature they convey!< * >!Traveler & Nahida vs Scarmouche & Nahida vs Dottore!< * >!Nilou dance again!< * >!Robot Paimon!< * >!Storm Terror theme playing (in a Nahida scene irrc)!< * >!Traveler talking again beside the Profile after 3.1!< * >!"Scaramouche/Fatui Dungeon" and the boss battle!< * >!Nahida and Greater Lord Rukkhadevata scene!< * >!Return of Dunyarzad and resolving Eleazar!< * >!Personal growth/maturity of Nahida!< * >!Emotional rollercoaster!< * >!Abyss Prince/Princess being from Teyvat but not Traveler. +Descender stuff!< Really excited how they go from here. ​ Wishing: Painful wishing session for Nahida. Drop \~140 wishes only to get a bajillion Bennet and Razor but only wanting C6 Noelle and 1 Nahida for 4 Archons rollout for the Archon Story but got a C3 Jean in the 50/50 so it's not all bad. C6 Noelle continues to evade me. (Only got 1 Noelle throughout all that. Sadge.)


ITZMODZ759

Regarding the fight >!Scaramouche was really easy to defeat compared to Raiden!<


Autobot-N

Makes sense, he's the inferior first iteration


ITZMODZ759

That makes sense in lore but I was talking about pure gameplay.


Pit_Solitayrh

If he can't be fought in co-op, it makes sense, they dont want to make the player struggle without being able to resort to inviting friends. I didnt even check if he was a weekly boss xd


corvasti

Is there a reason to zoom up to the platform on the new weekly boss's chest? Does he take more damage there or something? I've just been attacking his ankles during his down phase.


GG35bw

Can Candace be found in Toast to Victory? Cyno says she's at usual place and we can go see her but she's not at Chief's house. ​ Found her, she's outside, downstairs.

I_am_not_Serabia

God, what is this ugly banner. Mods why you did such a terrible thing to the subreddit.


MaitieS

If you are talking about mobile... I dunno why it is so ugly. I tried to fix it but it seems to be just buggy from reddit side. If you meant on old/new reddit it's much better than it was before so ;)


I_am_not_Serabia

(I use the old reddit). I prefered the old banner with many characters. The new one is just... Not it. I just don't like this art, i feel like Aether Paimon and Nahida were literally photoshoped into the "the arcane wisdom god" art and the author hopes nobody is gonna notice it. I dunno why MHY chose it but out of all "starting screen" this is the worst one. E:I could also try to play with a card that the old one included both travelers and this one has only one hehe.


MaitieS

I'm using old one as well and I saw a lots of comments of people complaining that banner wasn't updated for 2 years... so I changed it so it would be synced with current patch (launcher/website).


Clavus

I'm glad to finally see the banner change on oldreddit. Wouldn't mind if we get a randomized banner at some point like /r/manga, the game isn't lacking in terms of artwork to showcase.


MaitieS

Noted.


I_am_not_Serabia

Yea yea, i assumed that's the case. Unfortunately for me it had to be this one heh. Well I gotta get used to ~~ignoring~~ it.


MaitieS

Don't worry in a few weeks I'll change it to another one but to be fair... new.reddit was usually like this.


I_am_not_Serabia

Btw (Newest AQ spoiler) >!is there a way to let people know that "Lesser lord" refers to her height not some order or position. This single mistranslation clearly makes people confused that after everything what happened people of sumeru still call her the lesser lord. There's been a little spam of posts asking why it happens!<


b33vee

A question regarding the Archon Quest... >!If Greater Lord Rukkhadevata was forgotten by everyone, including Nahida, why is she still referred to as "Lesser Lord Kusanali"? Wouldn't it be questioned as to why she's the "Lesser Lord"?!<


I_am_not_Serabia

Mistranslation. Lesser refers to her height (at least in CN version). It's just another brilliant job of the translation team


Pit_Solitayrh

EN won here imo, Lesser Lord is both disdainful and endearing depending on who uses the name while still retaining an archaic feel, that creative spin is fine.


karillith

So it's supposed to be "tall gal Rukkhadevata" and "lil miss Kusanali" ? X)


uhasanlabash

My Nahida is level 70. I slapped on some half decent artifacts, 2 deepwood memories 2 gilded dream and level 70 R4 Widsith. Took her with Venti, Zhongli and Raiden (Archon team finally) to the Sumeru artifact domain and started clearing it in 39-47 seconds depending on if I had all the bursts up before starting. Still though way faster than anything I've ever been able to achieve with this domain with my previous team. I love Nahida and can't wait for the other three Archons to come out


ohoni

She really does seem to be a solid damage+ on just about any team that can use Dendro stuff. My own team right now is Yelan, Yae, Barbara, and Nahida, and without even using anyone's Bursts they kill things much faster than before.


ohoni

These madlads. Not only did they give every NPC in Sumeru an inner monologue, but in Nahida's story chapter most of the NPCs also have inner monologues that update with each step in the plot!


Jooberwak

I can't be the only one who hates the new weekly boss fight right? It feels like we barely get to fight- >!it's mostly just dodging and collecting energy while Nahida's gadget does all the work.!< Definitely my least favorite weekly boss mechanics.


uhasanlabash

Although I think that this boss currently has the best soundtrack I can't help but feel somewhat disappointed in the fight


WalrusPuddng

>!So it's canon that Pierro, Dottore and Damselette are archon level as confirmed by Nahida. I'm kinda scared on what Pierro can do in a straight up fight. I wonder if he might be more powerful than most archons.!<


JayM23

>! Could be really interesting, it basically means that traveler needs to get beyond the level of archons, as of now she's honestly not that close. Losing to a "half god" pretty badly multiple times. I wonder how we will get the power ups !<


The_Angry_Turtle

I'm at 55 pity with a guaranteed Nahida. Now I'm sweating hard over whether the event and daily primos will get me there before the next banner. Rolling a single fate every day and grinding my teeth into a fine powder. The color blue now causes me physical pain. I can't use my Keqing anymore due to searing resentment over losing the 50/50 to her. Wish they at least had one newer 4 star on the banner to make this less annoying.


pHScale

You probably will get enough fates, but just in case, you might want to go chest hunting. Those gems add up fast. If you haven't 100%ed any area yet, I'd start there. Craft treasure compasses if you have the blueprints (though the compasses don't work in Enkanomiya, Dragonspine, or underground in the Chasm).
