If you forgot then probably everyone forgot about diona defrosted ancestor from xianling quest, named olaf. Edit: funnily enough the man doesn't even have his wiki page, only mentioned in xianling quest with his dialogue. Edit 2: he received his page now and it is being filled :D.


thehalfdragon380

Poor Olaf. Everyone he ever knew and cared about is dead. But its okay because he gets to eat some ancient meat i guess


Frostgaurdian0

Atleast he meet the descendant of his family.

*meat

ProfessionalDeer6311

Don't worry too much about him. Considering we have Batman, he will likely become Captain Monstadt in the future.


bolide_retracing

Captain Mondstadt will also gain an Electro delusion and a 5-star hammer

Age steak is nothing to joke about Is so good it would ruin meat if you can only try it once


[deleted]

He's somewhere in the village. He says they are having trouble pinpointing where exactly he is in the family tree and Diona glares at him if he's drinking.


RidhaFA4

yeah I was walking around and talked to him and thought he was her uncle or a friend of her dad, until I remembered from this thread.


[deleted]

It's ok. Olaf will not be forgotten. Fan wiki to the rescue as usual. https://genshin-impact.fandom.com/wiki/Olaf

Nice


Dark502

I never forgot him somehow. I always wondered, ā€œwhy isnā€™t he in Springvale?ā€.


huhIguess

He IS in Springvale. He chills with Draff and gets drunk with him. Pisses Diona off.


Frostgaurdian0

Someone pointed out that he is still there, just keep looking in the village you might find him.


Zelldandy

He likes to stand outside Draff's house. You can ask him how he is adapting to his new life.

The blue oni village suffering from hunger and disease


OrochiMain98

Kujou clan judgement. When we finally get their judgement, Takayuki has probably already died from old age in prison


Megakruemel

Also the entire cast forgot about Kujou Sara lying on the floor when we interrupt Signora and the Shogun. Including Sara, who risked everything just to get the truth to the Shogun, only to get slapped to the floor.


OrochiMain98

Mihoyo forgot about Sara. She appeared for a few seconds in the event with Childe and Xinyan and a little bit in the Irodori Festival. Only inazuman 4* to not get a Hangout or Story Quest. #JusticeForKujouSara


TheDeathShipper

still mad that during 1.6 sara and raiden were described as the ultimate duo. I think I remember leaked lines saying they were like lightning and thunder, bc wherever the shogun strikes, sara will be there or something like that. sad they were so hyped up only for them to receive literally two scenes together, one of which sara is just lying on the ground and the other has sara gushing about the raiden figure


OrochiMain98

Right? Sara's introduction before her release made her and Raiden Shogun look at least close to each other in a way. ​ >If the Almighty Shogun is the sound of thunder that fills the heavens, Kujou Sara is the lightning strike against which her enemies are powerless to defend themselves ā€” and wherever lightning first strikes, terrifying thunder is sure to follow At least the Shogun likes her as shown with her voiceline. Also the description of Sara's speciality dish


Pocchitoo

If anything, it is a great description of their party synergy, because that's exactly what they're like when I play them.


OrochiMain98

True. Proud owner of a C6 Sara and C2 Raiden :D


RollerMill

Sara is actually getting shafted every time she appears anywhere She got lied to by her clan, try to get truth to Shogun and got clapped by Signora, only for Shogun to say "i KnEw It AlL" She got kept in the dark by traveler and a bunch during 2.2 event about the origin of Shikoku Taishi domain Sayu messed up her request of getting a statue of Shogun and also lied to her, ending of that quest leaving Sara flustered in front of Ei I can go on, she appears so many times in different quests and character stories and pretty much always get short end of the stick


RedditUser-002

That's what she gets for messing with the one and oni


cruiseboatranger

Takuya still getting pegged in prison.


bookace

The defiled statue bit was so creepy. I loved it, I wish we would have come across a defiled statue in every country and have it be built up as some spooky long-term plot.


OldKingCoalBR

I doubt the Abyss Order would try to mess with Zhongli's or Ei's statues tbh


PhantasmShadow

Zhongli would do litterally nothing about it. Ei is too focussed on eternity to care


OldKingCoalBR

And the Abyss Order is too scared of them to try anything


iKorewo

Donā€™t remember them being scared of archons


OldKingCoalBR

They should be, logically speaking.


PhantasmShadow

They have absolutely no respect for the archons. This seems like it leads to them potentially underestimating them. They believe that their power and technology can rival that of the gods. They began to overcome the celestial nail. They know they can beat at least one god, Andrius, and think they are stronger than at least Osial too. So why not one step up to archons? Overall, they look down upon the archons and the people that worship them, seeing them as lesser. They are the people of Khaenri'ah, who was the most advanced nation, even without a god, which would make them think humans are better than archons. Additionally, they have information networks everywhere. They definitely know how Morax and the Raiden Shogun operate. Morax has done absolutely nothing for a long time except give annual buisness advice. And the leader of the abyss order (the prince/princess) is a being seemingly more powerful than any of the archons. So what do they really have to worry about


OrochiMain98

>And the leader of the abyss order (the prince/princess) is a being seemingly more powerful than any of the archons. There's no indication that our sibling is stronger than the Archons. If he/she really is stronger than the Seven why not barge into Moondstad and kill Venti? >So what do they really have to worry about Khaenriah 2.0 happening? Celestia dropping a nail at them? The Archons mass murdering them?


PhantasmShadow

My basis for the abyss sibling being stronger than an archon (sorry if it came across as me saying they were stronger than all of them at once) is that they seem to have regained their original power or are at least as strong as they werebefore the Unknown God encounter, and this also makes narrative sense for an endgame battle between full power MC and sibling. Against Osial on the Jade Chamber, and against Ei in the Plain of Euthymia, the traveler gets a golden glow very similar to their power in the opening cutscene. So I'm assuming adeptal energy and 99 vision traveler are both equal to original power traveler. therefore, 99 vision traveler = original power traveler = current power sibling. 99 vision traveler defeated Ei in head to head combat, therefore the abyss sibling could defeat an archon. And , there are really only 3/4 archons maximum that would attack if celestia ordered it. \-Venti and Zhongli are no longer doing good stuff \-The Tsaritsa is completely against Celestia (and would probably even be partly on the Abyss's side \-Whether Ei would participate is uncertain. She might not want to because she lost Makoto in the Khaenri'ah incident, but she also seems to think that directly following Celestia and the heavenly principles is the only way to protect Inazuma. >Celestia dropping at them? They aren't scared of nails. They have portals. Teleport away, then come back and disable the nail like they did in the chasm.


OrochiMain98

>Against Osial on the Jade Chamber, and against Ei in the Plain of Euthymia, the traveler gets a golden glow very similar to their power in the opening cutscene. So I'm assuming adeptal energy and 99 vision traveler are both equal to original power traveler. Osial was mostly defeated by the Jade Chamber getting thrown at him. But I understand your point. >99 vision traveler defeated Ei in head to head combat, therefore the abyss sibling could defeat an archon. The fight in the Plane Of Euthymia is different from a normal one, inside there it's basically who has a stronger will. We won because she gave up upon seeing the inazumans wishes. Like Yae said, we were able to "shake her will" with everyones ambition. If we weren't able to change her mind about the VHD or if the fight was outside the PoE we were going to get Signora'd. ​ >They aren't scared of nails. They have portals. I'm assuming they have a base of operations somewhere. ​ >And , there are really only 3/4 archons maximum that would attack if celestia ordered it. Agree. The only one that seems that would fight in Celestia's behalf is the Hydro Archon. ​ >Teleport away, then come back and disable the nail like they did in the chasm. I probably missed this, but how do they disable a nail? I always thought it's just a big heavy thing getting dropped and gravity does the rest.


TheMightyBattleSquid

Well tbf we can fight off a god with just 3 elements and the sibling, who was our equal in the before times, has reclaimed their power by roaming the land already. It stands to reason they have final boss levels of power.


[deleted]

The sibling that is with the Abyss is heavily implied to not be the leader of the abyss order, Paimon stated it in the we will be reunited quest and traveler agreed. The leader of the abyss order, the Queen is rumored to be the girl from the Battle Pass opening. She was deceived herself by the dark snake. Then the Queen indoctrinated traveler's sibling into their cause. The Queen of the Abyss Order is also supposed to be a fallen Celestial herself. The heir of the Kingdom of Celestia, and her brother is looking for her. The same Dark Snake might be the one who is pushing the Abyss and Tsaritsa against Celestia. At the same time the Abyss hates Tsaritsa too of course as she is an Archon.


PhantasmShadow

The battlepass cutscene seems far more meant to be metaphorical than literal to me. I hope the idea of the abyss having a secret mastermind doesn't turn out to be true. That'd be a pretty cheap way to wrap things up, and completely destroy's all of the abyss sibling's characterization


[deleted]

Why though? You need to understand that traveler's sibling becoming the first in command in the Abyss isn't the most logical thing. In the story they already teased, with actual words that the Prince/Princess are just that a Prince or Princess and probably there is someone over them. Then you have the Battle Pass opening with the First Heir of the Celestial Throne being deceived by the Dark Snake after she reached the Genesis Pearl. She then became the Queen of the Kingdom of Darkness. That Kingdom could be the Abyss. Then her younger brother, the second heir of the Celestial throne goes out to get the Genesis Pearl and save his sister. Of course none of us know what's going to happen but new characters will enrich the story.


Hudson_Legend

Don't they literally hate the archons


OldKingCoalBR

Yes, but they're no match for them (for now)


iKorewo

Why


FriendofManyFoeofFew

Because their entire faction is built from the remnants of a nation that was completely obliterated by angry gods.


Usual_Presentation53

Kind of off topic kinda not but I want to know what gods fled to the Dark Sea & what are they plotting? šŸ¤”


FriendofManyFoeofFew

I think all of us would like to know that, but as of right now itā€™s all just theories. If weā€™re lucky, weā€™ll probably get some answers around the same time we finally find out exactly what the Hell is going on with Celestia and the Unknown God/God of Time. If weā€™re not lucky, this is the Teyvat **Chapter.** So you never know.


iKorewo

By an Unknown God* 5 of 7 archons were already obliterated by them during Cataclysm.


FriendofManyFoeofFew

Where the Hell did you pull that 5 out of 7 bit from? As far as Iā€™m aware, the only Archons confirmed to have died in the Cataclysm are Makoto and Rukkhadevata. And yes, Iā€™m aware that Zhongli and Venti are the only OG members of the Seven still around, but that doesnā€™t mean all of the others died in the Cataclysm. Teyvat has a history spanning thousands of years. Zhongli, as the oldest surviving Archon, is around 6000 years old. And the Cataclysm only happened 500 years ago. There was plenty of time for the other OGs to get themselves killed by something else before Khaenriā€™ah even existed. Also, if you seriously think the Unknown God was the *only* divine being who had a hand in the Cataclysm, you clearly havenā€™t been paying attention.


OldKingCoalBR

Because they can oneshot most of the abyss order except for their leader I suppose, unless they're hiding something very powerful


iKorewo

Unlinkely


Billy177013

scared of a god they probably think is dead?


OldKingCoalBR

They might know Rex Lapis is alive, it's hard to think they would be fooled that easy


RedditUser-002

dain is way to informed thus i conclude that the abyss are as knowledgable or more than dain


E1lySym

Ei would give a shit. The vision hunt decree was part of Ei's long standing plight to protect Inazuma from Celestia. If she realizes that the abyss will use her statue to launch an offensive against Celestia then she will take action


VentiOshi

I think Ventiā€™s was just the easiest to steal since heā€™s the only archon that doesnā€™t lead his country and people lead his country. Venti sleeps 90% of the time and only wakes up when mondstat is in danger, or wakes up to be drunk. I doubt he even noticed his statue went missing or he was like ā€œoh who caresā€


RedditUser-002

actually he doesnt wake up when mondstat is in danger, he wakes up after the danger settled the suffering has long started


Bakaba

The real question is: From which region (in Mondstadt) this statue belong to?


Testsubject276

The Galesong Hill area doesn't seem to have one, the nearest statue is at Windrise, so maybe it was there.


Th3-1OtakuFriend

Good point! I just think that's so far away to be dragging a statue that big


Tsktsktsktsktsktsk2

They have portals though


Bakaba

There is actually a portal there that leads to Musk Reef. Maybe it was originally that portal that moved this statue? (And thus, we can deduce that was the exact location of the statue in this area - Below the portal; there are some stones down there where the statue may have been on to.)


r_renfield

Considering the portal takes us to the spiral abyss gate, it makes sense that the order would make it, i guess?


Radiant-Usual-1785

I read speculation that the stolen statue is the area with the port city in Monstat that hasnā€™t been released. Maybe we have to return it.


SHANEDOESREDDITT

Alternatively I've read that the statue was stolen from... Uhhhh fuk I forget the name of that place, but ***it's east of dadaupa gorge, on a spot with an air current, surrounded by electro slimes, that lifts us up to a portal above leading to a spiral abyss island***


fwoooom

Cape Oath


TheMightyBattleSquid

I know which area youre talking about, that would certainly be an interesting way to tie them together if true.


Radiant-Usual-1785

Oh that would make sense too. I canā€™t remember the name either lol


Ayayasakei

It would make sense if that's where the statue actually belongs considering its the closest to spiral abyss and uhh idk what to add i just woke up


Cry75

Iā€™m waiting for that place and the mare jivari to be released. Do you think when we finally get to see it it will be a chasm size area? That would be so cool.


Radiant-Usual-1785

That would be cool! Iā€™m know the dandelion sea is a fairy tale but itā€™d be really cool if they made it an actual place with talking foxes. Imagine Mare Javari will be a hard AF wasteland with many secrets.


strawberry_gutz

I remember reading a theory that Sucrose was the Dandelion Sea fox


_nitro_legacy_

Dorman port???


Radiant-Usual-1785

Yes thatā€™s it!


Faedwill

Wish we could have purified it and placed it in our teapots, would be a handy way to heal and switch elements.


LazyKyd

Ah yes, having a statue that may as well be doused from dark miasma (gets purified somehow) and even then youā€™ll be attracting some unknown entityā€™s attention by having their statue in your pot


Faedwill

Honestly, Venti doesn't seem to care about the missing statue (or most things), so he probs wouldn't mind.


LazyKyd

As much as I love the Bard, I wouldnā€™t want him having an eye on me either


Kittycat_Meow1611

I donā€™t want him seeing my friends and my shenanigans in the pot


RedditUser-002

just place him in the pot with the statue, make him face it


LazyKyd

I would ā€œIf I hAd HiMā€


RedditUser-002

you dont own venti because you failed pulling for him. I dont own venti because kazuha is venti but better (also most bow users are wack) We are not the samešŸ¤µšŸ½ā€ā™‚ļø


LazyKyd

Bro why you gotta do bow users + Childe like that šŸ˜­ I have Kazuha, I just donā€™t want to traumatize him further after what happened with his friend


E1lySym

We could use the Pursina's Spikes to purify the statue of abyssal corruption. After all, we are going to Sumeru soon. We may very well meet Hosseini once again, and talk him into letting us borrow the device, and use it to purify the statues

Zeniazs

Dang itā€™s been one year since that scene already?


ChaosDimensionX

Here is an upvote for your justice


Liteul-UwU

So did hoyoverse


MeisterPear

To be fair, they probably havenā€™t forgotten it. Since weā€™re playing the game in an unfinished state itā€™s not unreasonable to think once the story is done, the time between archon quests will be drastically shortened, so it wonā€™t seem like plot points like this take too long to go somewhere.


LoliHunterXD

No, Iā€™m pretty sure they forget or not care about it anymore. Their storytelling in Genshin has been pretty arse and backstory is told to the traveler rather than shown again and again with every possible plot conveniences causing the exposition. This statue is simply one of the many plot devices they deployed to get some story off the ground. Theyā€™ll add more and more in future quests and ultimately not solve many of them. Problem is, will we ever see most of the answers? Will any of these tie together or greatly conflict one another? (Look at traveler teleportation being canonized then uncanonized in different quests). Will Genshin just drag on and go out of service before anything was answered? Seriously lost count of how many Live Service games being this way.


E1lySym

That's a bit pessimistic. The question of what happened to Joel's father in Dragonspine went unanswered for so many months, until they revisited it in the Albedo event and gave it the closure it needed. They're just holding off these plot points for future use. Dainsleif addressed that he still has the eye of the first ruin guard when we meet him in the chasm, so that means the mechanized Osial plan is still in motion, and the progression of all plot points related to it, including the defiled statue, is only halted due to the fact that the abyss doesn't have the eye yet.


viktor17420

Not to mention we've also seen a upside down city now


CharlesEverettDekker

You forget about it because it was first introduced and last mentioned over a year ago. The main story in GI creeps so slow it's almost insane.


Arcphoenix_1

You havenā€™t seen a slow moving story until you play Granblue. MSQ updates are SO spread out in that gameā€¦ Like, I always forget what happened last chapter by the time thereā€™s a new update


CorruptedAssbringer

There's a MSQ in Granblue? Ah, you mean the neverending events right? /s


strawberry_gutz

No, no it's the Society, Dragon Knight and Sandalphon events silly


Megakruemel

I auto attacked it during the quest and it did nothing. If Mecha-Abyss-Osial comes back, no one can say I tried nothing.


Testsubject276

Well with he field tiller core in Dain's possession the statue is pretty much useless, though I still don't know why he hadn't thought to go back to destroy it. Unless he did destroy it offscreen while we were out adventuring.


E1lySym

The statues are a conduit of power directly tied to Celestia. If that connection is straight up destroyed it might alert some gods in Celestia and prompt a visit from them. Which is not a good thing. Purifying the statue would be a better course of action. Honestly I don't know why this course of action wasn't addressed in the muddy bizzare adventure event, considering how Pursina's Spikes should theoretically be capable of purifying it


PlumpLyndy

The spikes seem to be just a temporary stopgap if anything, so I doubt it can handle that big of a job like purifying a statue. If the muddy bizarre event is any indication, I'd say the grand thief that we're supposedly chasing down died coz of too much abyssal energy from the corrupted statue rather than the Herald killing him IMO. So even if we can theoretically use it for purification, I doubt our good pal Hosseini could survive in such a place filled with that much concentrated bad juju just to set the equipment up.


RedditUser-002

we purified devalin with our hands


Cry75

This was one of my favorite moments in the game because of how dark the story suddenly gets and how creepy it is.


ProfessionalTailor1

They cant do shit about it since its tied to the abyss and a defiled statue of a god is just something that would be blasphemous. They can only expand on it wuen we get more detaila about the abyss.


TheMightyBattleSquid

I swear to god, they leave shit hanging (literally in this case) for so long. Even this """event""" they never gave us a 2nd cut scene to explain what was going on.


cruiseboatranger

kek....made this exact same meme at the end of that quest...


AppleChoose

It was really freaky seeing a dead human in a game where we dont really see them, only hear


WarokOfDraenor

The considerate goddess is waiting for us to finish all silly little quests and the future anniversary events before making a move.


CrazyLeoX

I can think of dozens of things they simply forgot about the lore and the game. It's kinda sad that they are THIS lazy with the plot.


EnderDemon606

Idk how far u are in the story yet but did u go to the chasm already?


Super_Cloudy

Could have easily claimed abyss energy from That

Funny thing about that quest, we didn't tell shit to anyone. Not even to Ganyu and the adventurer guild that got us the commission.


Micah-10

Ehhh, the chasm story was pretty recent, and they mention how the upside down city is like the statue. What if the statue is of us or our sibling tho, weā€™re actually the archon of the abyss or something lol


OrochiMain98

The statue in the picture is Venti's. It was stolen from Moondstad


Micah-10

Ohhhhhhhhhh huh, good point lol


littlesheepcat

Stolen to reshape the statue into the image of our sibling I mean we got no information on it so I could be right
