The dendro Archon was the real MVP

the dendro archon is always there for her people yet no one recognize her just make me feel so sadddddd🥲

i love how this cutscene left most of players speechless. what a gorgeous monologue, both the script and the artwork were so amazing. probably the most beautiful short 2D animation i've seen for a while.

Theorist right after completing this Quest Act: "I KNEW IT, NAHIDA AND RUKKHADEVATA IS THE SAME PERSON" Hoyoverse in the next Quest Act: "SIKE"

Can't wait for arnold to see this lmfao

Rukkhadevata is genuinely one of the most beautiful characters in this game

YESSS I'VE BEEN WAITING SO LONG FOR THIS TY

I like how you included that last cutscene in act 3 with the ones in act 4, because it really feels like that last half should have been the start of act 4. Because theyre already at the desert. It also makes it equal too: 2 animated cutscenes, 1 2d animated cutscene each act

One of my first ever theories in sumeru was that kusanali and rukkhadevata was the same person or was like some kind of reincarnation, i told this to my friend and he said it was possible but a lot of shows and games already did this plot so i just kinda doubted it a lil so you can just imagine the joy and surprise i felt when i saw that cut scene and the realization that my theory was right 😭

1:13 Bran: I wish that was me Yeah, all of us do.

Since nahida introduced herself as the first Akasha, it may be either she lost her memories or nahida reincarnated in rukkhadevata's body as the greater lord's soul went to Irminsul (ill) (World forget me)

Teyvat is always on the loop cyno = desert king priest alhaitam = desert king even happen before xiao chasm main world event, with 4 char = itto yelan yanfei and kuki, represent old 4 xiao yakhsa buddies also happen in inazuma as 3 old ei friend is loop as represent again with itto sara and yae so its crystal clear that teyvat is in the loop, as nahida said in archon quest

HERE IT IS!!

man i still love that last cutscene for for this act. i think some people got confused and distracted but the guy narrating king dehret and rukkhadevata is the last priest of King Deshret. Alhaitham was translating it to the rest of the cast. which fun fact, he was able to do because when he was a student, he had a joint project with Kaveh to understand King Deshret's language and architecture. they both worked on it and both are able to read king deshret's ancient language, but since Alhaitham's darshan is Haravatat, basically the linguistics department, it's safe to say that it was his main responsibility to try and dechipher the language. which is so fcking awesome because it really puts into perspective how much Alhaitham was needed for us to complete Sumeru.

God Rukhhadevata is so pretty. I wish we get to see a playable dendro character who controls grass/roots

I wonder how all these sages will react when they find out that the God they adored and the God they never accepted, mistreated and betrayed is one and the same.

Nahida's cutscene really caught me off guard

3:46 that music sounds ominous

I made the same face when I realized that the new archon was the old one, but smaller. Just like Gouba in their story

It would have been so cool if The greater lord was Nahida herself, sad this did not happen

Nahida got Guobafied so hard lol

Nah because I was FLABBERGASTED the theories were right

In short: Nahida pulled a Guoba😊

rukkedevata being reborn as kusanali

If you think about it nahida is reborn

Current arc really making me believe more that celestia is just honkai lol

What did you guys expect the person that wrote all of Sumerus story was the same one that wrote Honkais

People have been saying why didn't al haitham use his vision against cyno and also why didn't cyno use his? The answer is al haitham is no match to cyno when it comes to combat, he didn't feel the need to even use his vision against al haitham but when we talk about al haitham, cyno made sure he couldn't use his vision, so the gist is cyno chooses to not use it, whereas alhaitham was not given a chance to use it

Noice

Man, I wish I was Rahman in that second cutscene.

Marchosius: first time?

Fue impresionante descubrir que la primera arconte realmente no era Nahida sino que ambas nacieron del irminsul y por eso se ven igual

Rukkhadevata best archon guys. I dont make the rules

So the forbidden knowledge is the stellaron dropped in teyvat right??

Not Bran just guessing lmao

Idk if you like vtubers but u should totally include me in one of these in the future just sayin 👀

truly looking back, the cyno vs alhaitham fight is so funny because they're both mutual friends of kaveh and yet they're still strangers lmao. like kaveh is friends with tighnari and often have dinner with tighnari, collei, and cyno when they're in ganhdarva ville, and it's implied that this little get together has been a thing for a while. with cyno specifying how kaveh always complains about alhaitham, making them all laugh. and considering kaveh and alhaitham are roommates (and complicated friends) and alhaitham knows kaveh's friends, noting that he knows tighnari only bc he was kaveh's friend who helped him out with various things. so then is it not extremely funny that in the archon quest, alhaitham knows that cyno is kaveh's friend and cyno knows how messy of a roommate alhaitham is from kaveh 💀💀 alhaitham mentions after the cutscene that him and cyno have never actually talked before, so why would cyno attack him. meanwhile cyno is standing there with the knowledge that kaveh has complained about every detail of alhaitham to oblivion to him without alhaitham knowing.

Zhang fei?

It’s still not officially confirmed if she’s Nahida or a reincarnation or someone else although it’s a very very strong theory at least until it’s confirmed. I’m definitely waiting on making assumptions here

They should've went with Nahida is Rukkhadevata

Mommy nahida... We need to restore her power...

This cutscene is another example of how dumb, some theorycrafters are regarding lore. He lays it out, story tells it, shows it that Nahida is the greater lord but here they are BuT tiMElinE doesn't add up. BRUH lol

😦😦😦😦😦

Rukkhadevata and Nahida are the same person

watched yt while doing this quest same as for every genshin quest, skip , skip, skip
