  • The Hexenzirkel is a mysterious group of witches that will likely have a lot of importance to the Genshin story after Snezhnaya. In this video, I talk about some ideas I have for how they could fit into the story, and just what they could do.

    i really really hope we get to meet the hexenzirkel witches in person at some point and i think at this point, they can't/won't use npc models for them. i would love to get in depth quests/events with cutscenes about each individual and their disciples at some point, it's very exciting to think about

    I think we'll be getting a formal introduction to them along with the Mondstadt expansion including Dornman Port. Which I believe will come out before Snezhnaya and after Natlan during the 5.X patch cycle. The main reason I think this is because I believe the Mondstadt expansion will be our segue into Snezhnaya.

    Since this video is about future (Maybe) quests and stories this is the best moment to put an idea of MY version to the second Furina Story Quest, first for all the Archons second Story Quest we see more lore for them and for Nahida and Ei we see their role on their nations and things that were important for the previous Archon (Makoto wanted to se Ei change eternity and Rukkuduvata promised to return home cretures to Appep home and Nahida did this for her). Now I belive Furina role will about her past as the role of the Archon persona she had, the quest will start whit Neuvillette at his office in the Palais Mamonia, we talk to him about Furina he sais Lady Furina has gone missing her work whit perfommer for a show in the Opera Epiclese Neuvillette sends both Paimon and Travaler to find Furina first to her home outside of the Court and sees her near the water crying. Slowly bith Paimon and Travaler try to hear Furina questioning her role, "Why am I here Mirror me please hear me try to help PLEASE ANYTHING" nothing happens just the waves... After a time Paimon flies to Furina and ask why did disaper. Furina tries to be strong but let it go She has a long monologue pretty much like this... "Since has got back my freedom my life MY body back I feel like something has gone missing. My life was scary but at least I knew not to let go but now everyrhing is just bland. I do love the theater but I can't be fully play my part because if I go to close the the stage I don't know if I will go back on that awfull role. That wasn't me that was just fake" Furina cries a little but still thing don't feel right the Travaler stars to question them Selves about "Mirror Me" (I f you remeber that was the name given to Focalors when Furina first saw herà after that Furina Paimon and Travaler goes back to Neuvillette and explain the situation, Furina wont go to the Opera Epiclese for a while and inform the troupe that Lady Furina is sick. After this Neuvillette will have a long talk whit Furina, but the Travler and Paimon wont be here, this talk will be mostly why Furina wants to see "Mirror Me" and her power over the hydro element OF COURSE IT WONT BE ON SCREEN FOR DRAMA
    After this night time arrives and both Furina and Neuvillette will go bring are two dummies, Neuvillete sais something to all three "Fontaine will change and you Furina will need to accept that change"After this a small cutscene of a flashback of Neuvillette and some Melusines apper, the melusines have seen something realated to Focalors something like a note one of them feels like Miss Furina energie has grown or atleast feel more powerfull since her Vision came oneof them has seen Furina play whit her visons for days and seems like her powers have become more and more controling over the hydro powers even her pets (seems more powerfull). Neuvilletes listen very closly to hteir story, the cut back to the present, after that night at the Palais Mamonia Furina goes back home save. Days later Paimon and Travaler sees Furina trainnig near the water whit bit Ousia and Pneuma energies scared of this the Travalers stops Furina for doing to much. Then Furina screams at them for this Paimon tries to defend us and Furina tries to explain now just let her guard down, She wants to help Fontaine for the future and explains she had dreams for her slef and her archon persona in a fight even if it was just a dream Furina belives it she want to help "My people, my subjects". After this Paimon and the Travaler ask for more details abot thise dreams the only info that help was that it invloves Neuvillette and her vision. A melusine come to see what was the energy they find Miss Furina Paimon and the Travaler talking and puts two and two together and tries to zxplain the danger. Furina then release her powers have grown so much that it kinda feels good since the dream felt so real, Furina then runs runs very fast to see if anything has change in the Court of Fontaine; but noghting as if she was lied to. Then cut back to the Melusine whit us explaining that hydro energie felt like Neuvillete was whit her but less powerfull of course. After this we try to find Furina in the Court of Fontaine no one has seens her, after searhing for a while we see Lyney Lynette even Freminet putting a magic show on the streat? after the little show we ask them about Furina they help us by saying they saw her in a aquabus looking like she was about to cry, thanks to them we go to the aquabusses line sand see Navia and Clorinde talking about Furina, tahnks to them we know sh"e is going to the Opera Epiclese. inside of the Opera we finaly see Furina on stage in front of the Oratrice crying. Now understanding why "Mirror Me" Focalors didn't come to her after calling her. then wee see her whit documents about he Oceanids, (I need to saw since pretty much the starof the game e knew the Oceanids leftn Fontaine after Foaclors became an Archon). Furina stilll crying "Where are the Oceanids they need to come back, we need them to protect Fontaine. Ineed Mirror me to help me find them we need them to this fight..." After this I need some time to make more preparation for the other part and yes If you don't like it I understand

    maybe i can't count for life but aren't there 7 seats near the witches' table? could that be a reference to seven thrones? cause well vague connections between the abilities of certain mages and roles of certain archons can exist - barbeloth can know the fate of the whole nation with HYDROmancy which is done by looking at MIRRORED image, nicole GUIDES LOST PEOPLE like mondstadt accepting refuges like kaeya and the wind overall but also tempers with irminsul and goes into anyone's mind with the same ease as nahida does, rhinedottir creates life and her most successful creation is Albedo who has GEO powers (morax has sun connections and so it's a vague connection to life and yellow and golden shine). as vague as it sounds to me as well but genshin doesn't spill much tea about them on purpose their lore might hide a huge lot which will make sense even with little droplets of info. by the way lisa says she was offered to become the witch but she declined (as far as i remember), what does she know? perhaps she having all access to the most dangerous books in teyvat has encrypted them and holds knowledge worthy of being in hexenzirkel i can't believe they give us no info about it for that long ahh come on

      Or maybe 2 of them dislike chairs, as Venti is supposed to join them at that table.

      The witches probably have a wide disparity in strength as well, Alice is likely the strongest since she has the best feats.

    Y'know, these witches really do confuse me sometimes. The way they are presented in the story makes them seem so unbelievably powerful, like nothing we've seen so far can even compare to them level of powerful. If skirk can deal with the narwhal you and neuvillette fought so hard against, and even skirk talks about Gold as if she and skirk's master are equals, then how many magnitudes are witches like Gold above the rest of Teyvat? If they're this powerful they should be able to accomplish anything they desire to do, so what's holding them back? Why, for example, study the "heart of Neberius" when your power easily eclipses some puny demon god's?
    I guess the easy explanation would be "the witches are highly specialized, they're only insanely powerful in their specific field of study". But that just feels wrong...is the story overhyping them?

    • @kotarouinugami1745
      @kotarouinugami1745 Před 4 měsíci +1

      I don't think Skirk is any more powerful than the Traveler or Neuvillette. She is just a combat maniac who would have fought the Narwhal for a day or two and did not consider it "fought so hard", because she enjoys this.
      It's not like the whale was that dangerous to Traveler and Neuvillette either, when we actually got to fight it.
      As for power levels, don't forget that beyond the Archons, there are the Four Shades. I think the Sustainer of Heavenly Principles was one of them, since she won against siblings who were at their full power. That is probably the level of power the witches are aiming to achieve.

      @AndrewsMobs The way the story depicts these witches makes me and a lot others think that they're much more powerful than any archon or dragon, like, they can just enter and leave teyvat freely, see the fate of this whole world, create life forms from inorganic materials on a whim, etc. This is almost Primordial One's level of power. I don't doubt the archons' powers, hell, I'm almost certain that venti and Zhongli are more than just archons, but if we ignore the hints and speculations and just take them by their face value, their powers are no match for the witches' supposed powers.
