- The Sabzeruz Festival was originally the Goddess of Flowers' birthday celebration for the Greater Lord.
It is said that during the birthday celebration of the Dendro Archon, the Goddess of Flowers performed a dance, and countless beautiful Padisarahs began to bloom wherever she stepped.
And now, Nilou will recreate this mesmerizing scene in the legend with her ethereal dance.

As the English voice of Dunyarzad, I’m so glad so many of you enjoyed her story! It was an honor telling it. 🥰
you were amazing !!! total fan
Wow
Omg you were amazing!! Especially as Dunyarzad grew weaker and weaker you expressed that so well!!
Quite an honour to see the actual voice actor here~
Your performance truly made Dunyarzad as one of the most memorable (side) characters especially making her someone to be emotionally attached to from start to finish
👏🏻👏🏻
Omg thank you for voicing Dunyarzard you were amazing and loved the song of the dance, not sure if Genshin made the song but still a very well made song to fit the dance and seeing Dunyarzard back and saved made me so happy
The fact that while she was dancing, the whole world was fading away. If I woke up from a dream like that, I'd make sure to write it down to always remember every detail.
Me after woke up: "what dreams did i had last nigth!? Ahhh... I forgot!!"
Always happen everytime
WRITE THAT DOWN WRITE THAT DOWN
@@reginavlarentiacelesty3253 Apparantly people forget 90% of their dreams in just around 5 minutes so you better try remembering it as fast as possible.
Correction: After 5 minutes you forget 50% of the dream and after 10 minutes you forget 90% of the dream.
happens to the most of us

I love the fact that after realizing it's herself dreaming, Nilou just went all out with all the particle effects

In dreams, you have a 4090.
When Dunyarzad's spirit appeared, I lost it.
So insanely emotional, so beautiful.
i have no tears left in my eyes, just hearing dunyarzads voice makes me tear up, reminds me that shes never going to see the dance in the real world 😭
too bad that she's alive
Because yes, but that's not the reason why this moment is so touching
i cried
@@shi-shinji why? she didn’t die
Really liked how nilou realized it was a dream straight away then proceed to dance the world to destruction
The way you’re phrasing it lol
Genshin should do something against these bots...
@@s3nhor I think its more a youtube problem, I see bots in every popular video all you can do is report them.
@@uyuman1 trust me dude dont report too many bots in a short period of time itll get your account nuked for "false reporting/spamming" (happened to me almost 2 years ago 😭😭)
Local dancer knew she was in dream decided to dance to destroy the world and people
And making them wake after that
"The wait is over, everyone" give so much Sangonomiya Kokomi vibes "the wait is over, my comrades"
Her voice reminds me of kokomi, i love both of them
Yesssss! I thought the same
@@Tipixter to me it's barbruh
Nilou is Kokomi's twin that's why :) except Nilou does not rule a region and doesn't know how to win a war.
@@SunnyDuckYT No she isn't bruh what
Man this questline was good. I really though Dunyarzad was dead. I was even thinking about how sad it was that her only wish was to see Nilou's dance and that it never came to pass. I was so glad to see the last fragment of her consciousness watching the dance. It's good she survived. Even if she won't live another year due to that illness.
These Archon quests are really hitting different.
I know right! And man the music is Masterpiece.
Yeh the story director took feedback and improved the story narrative. U love to see it.
@@xeacarons It's more likely a whole new writing team as (though not completely confirmed) most of the old team left partway through Inazuma's development.
Good thing teri-teri saves the day
Please tell me at which AR level this quest comes?
When 0:36 hit, my jaw dropped so fast from how beautiful the music was. Absolutely gorgeous music, and gorgeous cutscene and dance, I love it so much
The bossa nova rhythms blew me away 😭
Bansuri hits strong right??
The music is so romantic I was listening to the ost and then this song showed up and I was in loveee
bansuri and table, traditional Indian music
Nilou: the wait is over everyone
Kokomi: the wait is over my comrades
two pretty hydro ladies
Also Dehya: mark my words!
@@JohnCivor "vengeance will be mine!"
Oh yeah! It's all coming together
@@ahuman.3861 I literally said that out loud when I heard she saying it😭😭😭
This quest was pure gold, but I was surprised by that idea with character's thoughts! They actually voiced them! Perfection!
Jesus Christ died for our sins, rose from the dead, and gives salvation to everyone who has faith in him. True faith in Jesus will have you bear good fruit and *drastically* change for the better! Those led by the Holy Spirit do not abide in wickedness.
God is three in one; the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit! Bless him!!
As I am led by the Holy Spirit, nothing I state is a lie, but the truth of God. Anyone who tells you differently is misinformed or a liar. They do not know God, nor led by him.
When you trust in God and cast your cares (worries, anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts) upon him, they will be NO MORE!
Know that there is power in the name Jesus Christ! His name casts out demons and heals!
The world is wicked, evil, and of the devil. I too, was a wicked sinner of the world before I opened my heart to God. I am living proof of God's work and fruitfulness! He is an active God who hears the prayers of his! God's children are set apart (holy) and righteous. The devil is a liar that comes to steal, to kill, and to destroy; that includes your relationship with God!
Can we get replies that are actually related to the OP? That being said, now I am eager to continue with the Archon Quest. I'm only at the part where I finished cleaning the Statue.
We actually got more than one voice line from the Traveler?
@@JamesKMartin traveler has such an interesting character,even though they are meant to be a blank slate I can tell that there’s a character underneath that.i desperately want to know more about them
as a persian, not only i make such deep connection with her, but i am so overjoyed that i am repressented in such positive matter that my inner child that once longed so hard to find a character that was truly me is so so so happy. thanks hoyoverse
Lovely..
You are Iranian not Persian that doesn't exist anymore
You mean Nilou is based on Persian? Wow! soooo beautiful!
@@exci-ted273 nilou based on middle east like all of sumeru
@@susman69690 nilou's movements are specifically iranian
As a guy from Brazil I'm gonna say this just ONE TIME:
This is soo bossa nova and I love It.
They mixed bossa, jazzy and arabic themes...? Soo good.
Yehh...So you almost can imagine João Gilberto playing this song
Yes the Bossa nova is great music and relax
as an arab they captured this right
Who know this bossa nova genre style maybe from Ancient Iran..
Its from ancient iran not arab 😊
This archon quest genuinely made me cry
Whoever wrote the script needs a raise 😭😭😭
Romurs says, that some of Honkai writers cooperated with Genshin 🤔.
@@cleo9257 well that makes sense as to why it’s so depressing I haven’t finished it yet tho lol
Lmao what a kid it was nothing in general just chores again
@@republicgamer6998 imagine calling someone a kid when u urself arent mature enough to know people have something called preferences what might have felt like a chore for u wasnt for others
@@meh6960 that's a troll or a hater most likely, his recent comments are just him complaining
This was the most engaging archon quest so far. The writing team really popped off on this one. If you havent got to sumeru yet get there as soon as possible when you have a lot of free time!
I don't know what dendro did the writers smoke for this one, but yeah, definitely an improvement, i'm looking forward for what the next updates have for the story.
sadly i have school but i have time on the weekend
Apparently the writers for the Sumeru Arc are Honkai Impact writers
My content is better
And dont skip dialogue* xD
Even having completed the quest and knowing what happens next, I still tear up watching this scene; so beautiful, but sad.
i feel like dunyarzad should have died here, it would have made way more impact
@@skelly2278no thanks my snowflake mind wouldnt be able to handle both that and the end of fontaine’s act V
"The Morn a Thousand Roses Brings"
The dreamers wake to a dawn unveild by the Sabzeruz dance.
The title is so fitting and damn poetic.
it's the morning that brings roses, not the roses that bring the morning.
Can also be interpreted as
"The morning a thousand festival brings"
Since we're repeating the festival countless times
@@solarprogeny6736 To be less grammatically ambiguous, "The morn THAT a thousand rose brings." So the roses bring the morning.
@@adiaphoros6842 It's not. The less ambiguous form is "the morn brings a thousand roses". This isn't up for interpretation as the verb "brings" is conjugated in the third person singular. "a thousand roses" would be conjugated in the third person plural "bring". Also, it is a direct reference to Quatrain 9 in Omar Khayyam's Rubaiyat, which reads "You say, each day a thousand roses brings" in which the meaning is the same: "the day brings roses", *not* "the roses bring the day".
Hope this helped :)
@@solarprogeny6736 “The verb ‘brings’ is conjugated in the third person singular.”
You’re right, but that’s because the English translation wants to directly reference the quatrain. You also have to consider what the title means in the context of Genshin. Nilou realizing the flowers on the stage are real Padisarahs is what ends the samsara in the story, so the title should be “A Thousand Roses bring The Morn” to fit the story. Also, the original Chinese title and all the other translations have similar meanings to the corrected English translation.
Dunyazard is the best npc character.
She deserved the world
teppei aswell
Dunyarzad and Haypasia are so pretty for npcs tbh
Teppei and Dunyazard are the best tbh-
at this moment I was like, so mad(and sad) that we had another teppei and then afterwards she was alive, I was so fricking happy
@@i_nk. Hell nah, we barely even know Teppei. I'd symphatize more on Hanachirusato, previously known as Kazari, than Teppei lol
This archon quest was a masterpiece.
Masterpiece is a stretch but your opinion so it is to you. One thing is it is definitely is an improvement over Inazuma archon.
@@dadian803 What do you not like in that quest? How can it be better in your opinion?
YESS IT WASS
@@TheSzutekina In my opinion, Dunyarzad should have died, and don't get me wrong, I loved her, but at this point I was crying thinking that was her spirit watching the dance, already assumed she was dead, just for minutes later seeing her alive, like nothing happened. It took away some of the emotional impact of the story, but nonetheless, it was amazing, easily my favorite archon quest so far.
@@TheSzutekina the overall quest was good but the dialogues were mid as always (dialogues with khusanali were a exception)
I CRIED SO HARD, ESPECIALLY WHEN HER SOUL WAS SEEN LIKE BROOOO WHY DO YOU GOTTA STAB MY HEART LIKE THAT
The way the entire room was fading as she danced as if her dream of doing the Dance of Sabzeruz finally fulfilled. Also the detail with Dunyarzad still watching Nilou dance is just so wholesome to me idk why 😭
Spoiler warning:
Dunyarzad really gave me a heart attack. She is so sweet. I'm glad she's ok
Fr. I thought she was really dead or something. Even felt sorry for the Knight of Flowers guy.
yeah :')
@@JoJ0estar i was shouting while the knight of flowers told us she had a crush on her.. i was like "SHE WAS LONG GONE YOU DUMBFK and cried (╥﹏╥) and then this cutscenes came up. And she appears looks like a soul. My heart can't take it. ｡:ﾟ(;´∩`;)ﾟ:｡But im sooooo glad that the Archon manage to save her while we broke the samsara
Don't know, I feel that her still being saved ruins the severity of the situation and feels like a forced happy ending
@@chaledy8998 mind you she was barely saved. The archon even had to spend most of her power trying to keep her faint consciousness from disappearing.
The overall situation for Sumeru is less dire than you think. They were real careful in letting the people know what has happened with the Samsara.
I cried during this quest to be honest
SAME
Same omg
Same
WHEN DUNYARZAD APPEARED A TEAR LEFT IN MY EYE
Same apart
Watching this in game I teared up, watching it here, still teared up.
I never wanted an NPC to be playable as much as I want Dunyarzad!!
I just want to say that seeing the traveller having emotion in this quest is such a great addition. On previous quests, traveller just seems like they're just there, but this quest, this is special. Actually on the verge of crying during this cutscene which is rare because I rarely cried at anything. Glad the writing's seen improvement.
Traveler quite literally waking up and choosing violence during that last ambush might be my favorite Traveler moment so far.
@@IcyDragonPolaris felt really good too as the one holding the controller. I was on the same level of frustrated lmao
I’m in the same boat, I never cry at any of genshin’s quests but seeing Dunyarzad appear as a “ghost” made me genuinely burst into tears. She was the first npc I actually began to care about, this is a huge step up from inazuma
@@IcyDragonPolaris I kept wanting to beat those fools the whole time for repeatedly tormenting Dunyarzad and Dehya. I was SO relieved when we finally got to beat the crap out of them.
I agree. Whenever the Traveler does show emotion, it's either happy, angry, sad, or tired. Well that's an oversimplification but even then it's usually not conveyed well. This is the first time we see the traveler truly be anxious, regretful, and properly expressing grief.
I love the way EVERYTHING is animated- the twirls of her fingers, her eyes moving, the way she picks up speed, it’s absolutely beautiful!
Ikr and the music is amazing!

Da Wei once again killed it with this motion capture.
They got a "little bit inspired " by fire emblem fates and azuras Dance
@@shixbeta3486 ??? No they didn't. This is based off a traditional persian dance.
THE WAY THE WORLD WAS DISAPPEARING WITH GOLD, NILOU DANCING HER HEART OUT, AGHH I LOVE THIS😭😭
After being unable to save Teppei, I was glad to know that Dunyarzad did not suffer a similar fate.
‘ This is the second time I’ve cried over a cutscene. First was Yunjin’s performance and now this. It hits hard when Dunyarzad appeared. It’s just so good!!!
ME AND U WITH YUNJINS CUTSVENE BRO
Same for me, Yunjin made me cry hard, but this one when Dunyarzad appeared I turned into a fountain
damn you guys impressionable
True.. I can’t believe they did that like…why..? It totally got me in the feels and the tears tht i held up immediately fell 🥲🥲🥲
Not when Signora died?😝😙
This was probably the best archon quest we got so far. Normally I would go do something else during the archon quest, but I did the second part all together, because I was so invested in the story
same i did the entire second part of the quest in one sitting
Yeah me too
And then there's people complaining about too much dialogue and no enemies smh
@@flyingorange2482 it's the same kind of people who just skip dialogue and then complain about not understating the story
Spoilers:
Once we woke up for a second time and repeated the day, I knew it was gonna be good and did it all at once
Anyone else crying during this scene when they see Dunyarzad?
No because same
Why some gonna cry because of a character that only had 10 minute secreen time and just bunch of dialogs?
@@benresmisgmamshyarm4638Someone who probably paid attention and is emotionally invested into the story
@@benresmisgmamshyarm4638She was a significant character which you build a bond with. Seeing her go before she could achieve what she wished for was sad. Also this shouldn't matter much, but she was on screen defo longer than 10 mins.
And...why should ı care for a character that ı forget the seconds that she was there. Another npc sponge just colored a little bit purple? Is that the reason. She has a voice. What a diffirient aproach. No..she is just...a forgettable npc. Not more not less.@@yekothereaper
This is why I'm love with Genshin. There are many quests that makes me emotional, but especially this one. I didn't cry because Dunyarzad “died”, but when I saw this scene, I got tears in my eyes for the beautiful it was.
Fun Fact: The name Dunyarzad is a character based on the series of middle eastern tales called 'One Thousand and One Nights'. Dunyarzad is the younger sister of Scheherazade , the main character in the series (really fascinating story, google it if you have a chance). Anyway, the opening music 0:00 - 0:37 is based on the symphonic suite
Scheherazade by RImsky Korsakov. Definitely one of my favourite orchestral pieces. If you like the opening of this, check it out!
Wasn't there was a place called Scheherazade Castle, something like that in Sumeru?
And the other part of the music has Fly Me To The Moon vibes
oh I never made that connection, well played, good eyes.
@@jeder655 yea, i think its bossa nova
@@ku_kuzzz Persians are in middle east so it's not incorrect
Her dance is so fluid, just like the tears shed during her quest.
Don’t put so much envious in the dance. Who know it is wei that do her mocap dance
@@runemastertan lmao we know but you dont have to be like that 💀
Actually crying but not because her dance 🥺

Nilou's dance literally saved me for my performance , my teacher was talking about a song that we have to make our own steps with so I couldn't really think of anything then I thought of this nilou, YOUR A LIFESAVER1😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
I'm curious. What's this now about a dance
@@AlexPerez-tt9ru im filipino and in my subject we had to dance witht his song called ( dandasoy ) but we had to create our own steps so this is what i thought ( nilous dance )

@@enhykpop i wonder how many genshin players are in your school
@@unfunnyskull 2 players
Nilou's dance is the best I've ever seen, second only to the one seen in the Akasha Pulses, the Kalpa Flame Rises. This is so incredibly beautiful!
its been a year since your comment. how do you feel about fontaine?
Spoiler alert ⚠️
To see Dunyarzad alive and well at the end of the quest was such a relief. Props to Mihoyo for not pulling another Teppei moment with us.
Mihoyo : *"Are you sure about that?"*
@@sarajayzie9385 no wayyy. at least for now lol
I actually preferred she remained dead, it erased all the emotions i felt and made everything a bit pointless. She could have been a better teppei
mhm!
@@jomerruego9147 yes *for now* . We don't know what else Mihoyo will do in the future
There was this part where traveler sent themselves a message when they get out of the city because their future self would forget everything, and they VOICED this part SOOO WELL. I did not hear the aether version yet, only the lumine one, and it kinda striked me how good the voice acting is. Her voice is so expressive and we could feel it so much, like the Panic in her voice was so noticable. Makes me think about how much we could have if mihoyo let the traveler have a voice. Lumine's voice actor is incredibly talented.
You can listen to the voice acting in the character profile
@@jenthejenius Yeah but that's more like a gimmick inherited from cheap mobile gachas. Genshin is a role play video game not a voiced book.
I think they mostly do that because the traveler can’t speak the language fluently so Paimon does most of the speaking for them and they talk in short sentences when necessary. They probably would speak more audibly but considers that just knowing how to read and write is easier since Paimon is willing to explain stuff to them and basically be their translator. Also it would be difficult to learn all of the languages across Teyvat with the pace that they’re traveling. There is a possibility that they have a universal language and so Paimon has taught the traveler that but even that may be difficult to understand since it isn’t their first language.
@@rottentreegremlin5126 They have a lot of dialogue so I don't think that's it. This comes down to Mihoyo not really knowing whether they wanted a self insert or an actual character.
@@Relatablename Yeah I agree with this, they were trying to do a bit of both but not going far enough on either side for it to actually work. The Traveler has the backstory and potential of an actual character but without the personality necessary for it because Mihoyo wants you to be able to insert yourself into the traveler role. I really like that they’re leaning more into the traveler being their own person in this chapter, I hope they decide to do it more in future quests
I swear I never left Sumeru City during the part II of this Archon quest to avoid breaking the illusion of getting trapped inside a dream. 3.0 is so much fun ngl, I hope Hoyoverse one day makes at least the main storyline replayable so I can relive some of the best moments in Teyvat, like this quest and the fight against osial
You literally cannot leave Sumeru during this quest, Paimon stopped you
@@kopi6850 Idk about manually, but we can leave via teleport. Though the interface will warn you
this is still the most magical cutscene in genshin
Been a while since I ugly cried when seeing Dunyarzard’s spirit. Masterpiece of writing once again hoyoverse
PLS I CRIED SO HARD TOO
Me too, glad she was alive at the end
I broke down in the scene after. I thought I could handle the thing with Dunyarzad like I did with Teppei, but bruh this time hit different
@@PacifistDungeonMaster she didnt die thou. I teared up during that Scene luckily Nahida saved her ❤️
Once again? This is the first bit of competent story writing Hoyo has done in a while tbh. I hope the rest of Sumeru’s story is in the same calibre.
My mom's nearing the final stages of her cancer and I just wasn't ready for this eleazar stuff from Genshin. After Dunyazad said her eleazar was "terminal" I had trouble following the quest's breadcrumbs from the tears. Was a very intriguing and beautiful quest. The way they made it seem like Dunyazad had passed away with regrets was heart-wrenching. I would've been satisfied if she had gone after seeing the dance honestly. It's the thought of her dying with regrets that was so sad.
im so sorry to hear that. i hope you can spend lots of quality time and enjoyment with your mom, i hope she realizes she is loved by you and that you are loved by her.
Thank you, thats very kind :)
I hope that your mom lives however much time she has left comfortably!!! I also hope your family is doing well I can't imagine how hard that must be
I hope that see by some miracle gets better, but if not cherish these remaining moments with her, to let her know what a difference she has made to you❤
I totally get this. My mother wasn’t lucky with cancer, and this quest was hard for me. Related too much to it, I guess.
The way in which they made you believe she would not make it, like other important quest NPCs, but then at the last moment she appears, and I couldn’t help but shed tears after that, out of relief.
I hope we get to see more of her, maybe a character arc conclusion if we are able to get rid of the withering for good (and with that, the eleazar)
As an oneironaut, I am REALLY impressed by the thought you put in how dreams work. I absolutely loved the explanation of how schemas affect dreams by the "plate containing food" metaphor: not even Inception or Lucid Dreams in Netflix had such a good understanding of them! This, along accurate descriptions of sleep paralysis, lucidity, dream guides, time dilation, recurrent dream signs and persistent realms without even having to mention them just made the quest the most enjoyable one for me until now 🙏 I really hope you keep up with it!
Honestly every comment with an "as an" at the start and a paragraph of text is worth reading! I didn't even know what an Oneironaut was until now. Thanks for the insight.
@@iguessimchris9676 Thanks! I was just really excited about how well they got most details while still being creative with it 🥺
Wow it’s so cool to see an actual oneironaut!
I’m glad someone such as yourself in that field also was impressed with the way they used analogies to explain something that indefinite
Now that ver3.3 is out. I would like to request for another clip of Nilou's dance. This time in the presense of Dunyazard and Nahida.
lol we need a new dance every patch 😇
Just wait for nahida's next birthday bro 💀
I was shedding tears when seeing Dunyarzad 'soul' finally watch Nilou's dance, knowing that it was her last moment. Turn out hoyoverse just played me. Very well (I didnt hate it at all, I felt relieved)
I can agree with you, it kinda gave me heart attack ngl though. The quest is hella amazing
It's the second time they fukked around with our feelings
Hoyo loves playing with our emotions
Well, guess someone in MiHoYo stop “That writer” for being too wholesome.
now I hate the sages
This was such a top tier quest. And the Archon Quest isn't even over yet people.
Yes, it felt like those math problem with multiple question... except this is less frustating than math
We also finally heard the Traveler's voice more with the "concentration" mechanic thing
i thought it was over and it had no fight or anything at all and i was a bit confused 💀
i very much agree though !!
Can't wait to see Nahida going full archon mode against the sages
@@jm1835 she will fight dottore or scaramouche, harbinger is behind all of this, the sage is just like their pion
nilou’s voice is so nice and soothing, i can listen to her talk all day.
This genuinely made me cry and even more after we saw dunyerzad
I actually started crying during the quest, especially during the cutscene, because the entire time I though that that girl wanted to see Nilous dance and that in the end she didn't have the chance to. Glad that in the end she did and that she's alright.
ratio, bots
I cried too I swear best Archon Quest as of right now
@@catmixo fr
They really had us in the first half didn't they?
I didn't think I would be bawling for an hour over genshin but here we are
Unlike the other archon quests,it doesn’t start with a huge disaster but instead have hints dotted around and taking their time which I don’t know what to think about it just yet but everyone GOT TO agree that this quest is AMAZING I usually never cry but this is the very few that made me shed a tear oh my lord
Edit:btw if you disagree I totally understand I’m not some intellectual to quests(I’m just a 12 yr old after all)so I’ll be wrong in some parts(I just made this comment because it didn’t hook me right at the start and it felt weird so I made up a random reason for it while typing out the comment itself) and I don’t really care I just wanted to say what I wanted to at the time but I didn’t expect it to blow up and getting so much opinions on it.well anyways have a good one:D
And also, the mechanic where you think about the answers and get to connect them, and we got more traveler voice lines is always a plus. Definitely one of the most unique and best archon quests
@@auroraishere2907 idk i disagree. i really disliked that because there was never any actual "figuring things out on your own", and some of the wrong answers felt like they felt complete perfect sense and alighned perfectly with the information provided.
not to mention, that even if you did figure the culprit and the situtation you are in by either noticing the signs in the story and concluding the most likely outcome or taking each figure in the story and judging the possibility of them being the culprit, you could not submit your answer, and wasnt rewarded for thinking ahead.
what im saying is, it felt disappointing to me that the bit about solving a problem, the bit where the characters are faced with an actual puzzle for once in this whole game, was so linearly scripted and without consequences.
like, honestly, you can just choose to assosiate the ONE option that ALLOWS you to assosiate with each of the other options 1 by 1 until you get a new answer, which for almost all the 'decisions' you had to make was the only correct solution.
you could also find said 1 option by simply skipping thru each of the options until the assosiate button pops up
big disappointment for me cuz i like puzzles alot, but i can see why some didnt mind it. overall id still say the archon quest was definitivly one of the better ones for sure
I'd disagree, I think they still fall into the same mistake of never having lasting consequences and basically resetting any sense of progress that the story has, ultimately making it feel like a waste of time other than introducing characters, but since there is still a continuation I'll hold off on my thoughts for now, I'll give credit where it's due tho it was well written all the way up until the end where they chickened out of having backed up lasting consequences
@@sind2000 you mean you disappointed dunyarzad not die ? I think what they trying to say is nahida is competent archon that she can save her people.
@@auroraishere2907 I really hope we get more of that mechanic later in the quest
11 months later, this cutscene never fails to make me cry. this whole quest was lovely and heartbreaking
By far the best archon quest we had. No Avengers assembling or talk-no-jutsu with an immovable god, just good ol story telling.
Man, this quest was really amazing, the music as well is just top-tier!

I felt like the song kind of sounded like “fly me to the moon” just a little bit, also, the quests have improved! The animation and the traveler’s expressions, the character’s movements, it’s all getting better. This quest made me cry, gave me a headache and made me sleep very well ..for some odd reason. I love the sumeru quest line :)
I think that’s intentional since the devs are huge evangelion fans and don’t forget that nahida referred to herself as the moon

I was devastated when I was unable to save her, then burst into tears after I see her soul happily watching the dance And laugh with joy when I see her safe in real world.
We’re almost at 3.8 and this cutscene still has to be the best in game for me. The story behind it, the meaning of her dance, Dunyazards spirit showing up, nothing has managed to provoke such a feeling of heartbreak in me…definitely solidified Nilou as my favourite Sumeru character! as well as her dancing right infront of the Akidemiya when she could have been arrested
This archon quest feels miles better than the other one now that the situation Hoyo’s writing team is resolved, you can tell it was well crafted.
Something happened with the writing team ?
@@robertsimon2437 some rumors say that honkai writing team, are now working with Genshin team. Since the chasm, maybe thats why
I’m referring to back when 2.0 just dropped, we got information about the state of their writing team, basically the headwriter left with a part of the team, which is the supposed reason why any story in Inazuma after 2.1 is a bit of a mess.
Oh my god it did get better at the very least. Love raiden but the way inazuma was shown just isnt it. Not to mention the filler story quests with ayaka and raiden, which didnt really stick to me that well.
@@tharakir1328 i heard someone said that rumor is fake and people were just trolling around nonetheless whoever wrote this is amazing
I cried when Dunyarzad came, glad she's alive!
Me too...
Yeah same I kinda cried too
Would've been more emotional if she died IMO, she's not a neccessary character and I really liked her but I think it would've hit harder.
FR!! I even let out my anger when dealing with those eremites! I'm so glad that she's okay😭😭😭
@@bluezebra6701 It'll be the same as most main NPCs died in quests. (Teppei, etc)
This got me emotional because it felt so long being stuck in the dream loop + Dunyarzad appearing
Dunyarzad made me tear up when her spirit arrived to watch. Like she finally got her wish. After this quest though, I got so hyped that I don't think I can sleep rn
God this quest had me in tears so many times aswell as giving me goosebumps it was truly stunning...

ignore the bots but yeah this made me cry as well :'> want some tissues mate?
Didn't make me cry, but was indeed beautiful
The story was so well written seriously. How Paimon and Traveller had more personality development, thoughts shown and generally more emotions which were portrayed. Especially hearing Aether speak in jpn dub made me emotional. Please keep up the great work throughout other quests
it was really adorable how concerned piamon was when we dissapeared
jpn dub made you emotional?

This archon quest was incredible. It wasn't as action packed and epic (so far) as the previous ones, but it was a lot more mysterious and very emotional instead. I really felt a connection to every single one of the main characters involved and felt really engrossed in the story all the way. It was beautiful.
I can't stop rewatching this. So beautiful and bittersweet. Such a great archon quest.
The way Dunyarzard wasn't suppose to leave her house but still made a huge impression on everyone's hearts in a short amount of time she's spent preparing the festival, made me cry a like a damn baby. Spoiler....
I'm so glad we made it in time to save her. I thought we were gonna catch another Teppei case for a moment. T_T
The whole time while I was doing this quest, I kept thinking: "Not another Teppei situation please" I'm so glad Dunyarzard is okay...
imagine Dunyarzad came from behind and gently held traveler's hand while they watched. Oh my god that'd literally make the whole cutscene perfect.
Same! Especially with her voicelines being like, "It's now time," (means it's time to watch the dance but the possible double implications omg) my heart just kept doing backflips wishing she'd be okay in the end of the quest 😭
Well we haven’t exactly saved her and I mean yet! It’s she temporarily okay but not unsafe she (and collie) still suffers from that disease and unless done something about it by either Il Dottore or Baizhu then I’m afraid…
Tbh this hit me more than Teppei.
THAT SCENE MADE ME CRY SO HARD IT WAS SO BEAUTIFUL
Would've been more impactful if she actually died though. I think some of the weight was taken off by her coming back.
On god bro, did not expect this game to be so emotional. Also givin me goosebumps with the "time loop" section
SAMEEE
Mann this quest was so good hands down yall it put my emotions on a loop
This is such a beautiful scene, I wish we could replay archon quests...
Yes and I want to stop at the Sabreruz place so I will see Nilou adn Dehya as npc in Sumerj forever.
this is bossa nova right? i love it so much, the music is in charge of 60% of this scene istg. dunyarzad’s spirit tho 😭😭😭
Dunyarzad must be protected at all costs. She is the best npc in this game
her and teppei 😭

I generally hate speed running but this whole archon quest was so addicting that I couldn't stop playing
It's not speed running if you arent skipping anything.
If hoyo intended to upload this cutscene now, then it means you are just playing in the correct pace.
Same here
I started playing it and it got me glued to the screen for a whole day
@@ymrue
I have never skipped any dialogue, not even daily commission dialogues 😂
mmmmmmmmmm
BRAVO on such a well written quest, that didn't depend on flashy action to sell it! NO tacked on combat, just a good old mystery/drama story. I love how MiHoyo isn't afraid to show the Travelers emotional side, they're some of the best moments imo. Plus, You'll have plenty of time to build up into some cool action down the line... 😌👍
I loved the part where after the girl "died" the traveller just went so sad and angry he jumped into Dehya place and basically said: Let me kick these guys butts until I'm satisfied.
the choreo represent elements of old persian, traditional dances! everything looked so accurate, the music is perfectly composed like Middle Eastern/North African beats, the hand gestures she makes during the dance, the enviroment surrounding her making the dance be an absolute masterpiece!! once again hoyoverse outsold
Hoyoverse did justice with this archon quest. Slow paced, gave lore about Sumeru and Akasha terminal and the corrupt sages. Great quest!!!!!
And Kusanali is such a wise archon. I hope she soon realize about her worth and her powers and kick away that Akasha thingy and sages!!!!!
The Akasha system will fall apart if the Eleven will take away the Dendro Gnosis.
The fact that someone most likely actually danced this to implement in the game similar to Ayaka’s dance is incredible! I wanna see the person who did it.
da wei did the dancing for Ayaka😭
probably Da Wei again like he did in Ayaka's dance.
@@KoeSeer possibly but i don’t think so, ayaka’s dance was much shorter and simpler. this dance is actual classical Persian dance and you’d need professional training to do it that well
Should check Lumi Nova, her dance even much more impressive.
Probably our beloved ceo
For me this is still the best cutscene in Genshin. I was so emotionally invested in the story and then it hits you with this beautiful score and dance.
The Best in writting, effects and emotion
I cry in this cutscene
All those horror, psychological, and scifi novels were really useful in solving this quest. Heck those quests with ghosts, this is way terrifying.
I love how this cutscene looked so cool in the trailer, but after doing the story it feels rather emotional and bittersweet. It's so beautiful, so majestic. I can't express just how beautiful this cutscene is. I love Nilou so much. Good job, HoYo.
Da Wei once again killed it with this motion capture.
I hope we get to have a yearly event that comemorates the sabzeruz festival. so we can see nilou dance every year
I cried, I literally caught myself tearing up. It was a collective dream so the fact that everything around the dance is so magical makes perfect sense, it was simply genius. This quest was such a masterpiece of writing. They gameplay parts were limited to go here, go there, but I was so invested in the story that I didn't realize. And then Dunyarzad... Don't play with my feelings like that! The ending was perfect.

Where will these "tickets" bring me to?

Sumeru literally powercrept all the other regions in ONE day, and the desert hasn't even been unlocked yet.
LOL its a funny way to put it, i really loved the archon quest, quite the change of pace from smashing and destroying enemies
hope they can keep up with this pace
I still liked Mondstadt and Liyue. Atleast Mondstadt had many unique things we can do that somehow got forgotten at this point of time:
* Like the curropt tears and why traveller could purify it.
* The scene where we shoot dvalin while gliding (there were no similar mechanics to that after the quest)
*The amber domain with the bombs
Etc.
i dont think you understand. im *obsessed* . no for real , im so obsessed that i cant go to sleep if i dont listen to this 59819734 times and i have to listen 999999999999999 times in daytime or i just daydream abt it and cant focus on anything else. no im not overexeggerating it im for real. this is just perfect in every way possible. i cant even find words to describe it. god's work or smth idk. this is too great to be created by mere mortals fr smh.
UNDOUBTEDLY the best quest in genshin.
I cried when Dunyarzad said she had Eleazar and then her consciousness disappeared. I thought she is dead by that time but thanks Nahida saved her. I cried too when she appeared to see Nilou dance.
For real Nahida is probably the most "God"-ish Archon right now. Although she is not omnipotent, she listens and tries to grant her followers wishes. The other known Archon feel more like a guardian or ruler to me.
Let's not forget that dunyazard might die soon even if she's alive rn... There is no next festival for her..
@Recommended For You 🅥 bot lol
@@aciesara5444 I agree, It's all about presentation. SPOILERS AHEAD
Venti doesn't feel like a god, because he does not perform many god-like duties during the time we are with him. Zhongli doesn't feel like a god, but more of a guardian, because we had the fact that he would save Liyue in an instant if things went wrong drilled into our heads. He also has the adepti. Ei feels like a ruler- because she is one. She is literally a direct ruler of her nation. She is supposed to feel like a ruler, because that is what separated her from Zhongli and Venti to the players, who were on the sidelines. It had to be exaggerated. Kusanali cannot do anything, because she is so young. So she does as much as she can and is allowed to, because a lot of people do not believe in her. She is a child: she craves validation and will do what she can to receive it though her 7 or so followers, compared to the entire population of Sumeru, Anything can be done by anyone if it is in small amounts. It would be impossible to listen and grant all of her followers' wishes if there were millions of them.
@@codid7381 such a good comparison between her and being a child! 💞
Please don’t tell me I was the only the who almost cried after seeing Dunyarzad again in this scene.
Also I liked how it look like traveler had no regrets anymore after seeing her watching the dance, you could see it on his face
How to make you laugh instead of cry:
Da Wei probably did the motion capture for this dance like he did with Ayaka
no omg i cried too 😭😭
Well I cried twice 😭
Im pretty sure 90% people gone through this story shed tears.
I almost did...had to punch a wall.
I cried
This is one of the best scenes i watch when playing genshin, this literally makes me cry😭
I cried so hard on this cutscene because I thought Dunyarzad was dead. And I was so relieved that she was not.
ah... thank you
i was cursing the sh*t out of hoyo because i just started the quest
@@noihara3 ahahha same dude i just started the quest 😅☝️
Same! I shouted and I was about to have Aether go on a roaring rampage of revenge against the Akademiya sages, Rambo-style with M60s and rocket launchers.
This quest is the best in genshin impact, the idea is just amazing, everything is thought out to the smallest detail, the dance and animation are beautiful, nilou goddess
I agree!!
i bet the third act will be the best
This is only the start of the Sumeru arc! The best is yet to come
@@AB-jt4rs that’s so wild to think about. this is just the beginning
@@imdiegouknow There's so many ways what will happen to sumeru on act III tbh. If the same thing will happen again/a harbinger steals the gnosis/the god on desert (prob) and etc.
Im literally brainstorming right now lol 🗿
A week later and still watchin it around 5 time or more/day. Everything just combine perfectly into this 1 gorgeus cutscene..
The song,Dance,That Dunyarzad soul, and the fallin dream are just 10/10..Im about to cry when the flashback of dunyarzad came in.
This has to be my favorite cutscene in Genshin. The music is so beautiful and Nilou is so pretty. And seeing Dunyarzad made me sad
The wait is over, everyone
The wait is over, my comrades

Literally the wait begins again when you end this cutscene. XD

@@rocko1721 ye, mona has big pp altho it would be very concerning if barbara had a bigger one than kokomi
This is the best archon quest fo feel the story. The writing, characters and certain details is so good, the quest was pretty long but story takes a balanced enough pace to tell. Seeing Dunyarzad as a spirit meant she really is gone, but she actually lives thanks to Nahida which makes this ending perfect.
the frustrations of paimon when she was left behind, and traveler's when she had to channel her anger by beating the eremites made this story alive. best character development i've seen in genshin so far. certainly worth the hours of sitting.
She partially lived thanks to Nahida, though the full truth is that it was simply down to the traveler's luck. It was a miracle that she managed to survive at all. Her being a soul at the end meant that she was very very close to death. If Nilou didn't realize she was in a dream quickly, then Dunyarzad would've passed away.
best archon quests and by a long shot. None of the others even come close to this.
@@bijibijian9740 all of it was so good. the genuine mystery of it all. i actually genuinely did think it was a time loop at first. it was so good. this gave me so many chills and seeing dunyarzad at the end made me so... so happy. i love her, im so glad shes okay. teppei died to show us they have the balls to do it, and dunyarzad lived to show us theres still hope in the world
And we will have archon quest 3 and 4 in the future, hopefully they'll be on this level or even better
I CRIED SO HARD
SAME
same
BRO SAME I WAS BAWLING
dunyarzad was one of the the best characters in this game, her story captivated me the most
"How magical do u want this to be?"
Genshin: *"y e s"*
Why is it always these two spammers getting the first replies
mmmm
I loved this quest honestly, esp the part where we finally got to meet the dendro archon. Nahida in contrast with her design is surprisingly very mature and caring personality wise, she’s an absolute sweetheart. Nilou’s dance, the music and everything was also perfect. However, this quest definitely gave me so much screen headache from all the reading I had to do cuz I wanted to understand what was going on😭
yeah thats true, even thou she is shown as very mature she also lack of common sense and seeing her try to understand human nature is very cute and funny
@@angeloyu6130 cute and funny you say?😭
@@danielwoods3896 yeah is that a problem? i mean its also a bit pitiful/sad because that means she probably never expirienced a "normal" life for a child
I highly agree with your comment. I also got a headache because of the archon quest but that didn’t stop me from completing it!
Nahida is based on Kusunali Jataka. the idea of Kusunali Jataka is you can’t judge someone knowledge and wisdom by their appearance. in genshin, her appearance might look like a child but she might have more knowledge and wisdom than human adult.
I cried, she didn’t die, and it wasn’t a lie that this was one of the greatest cutscenes in all of Genshin Impact’s history. Story quests, archon quests, and event quests.
ngl, this quest made me cry. The music hits hard and then dunyarzad shows up and then the tears can't stop falling 😭
The overall quality of this version is insane.I wish we can see quality like this in the future.
Scheznaya and Khaenriah chapter will definitely mindblowing. Too bad we need to wait at least another 3 and 4 years for it.
The harbingers aren't involved yet. Things gonna be wilder
