Perilous Trail Event Cutscene Animation: "Moment of Life or Death" | Genshin Impact

Ойындар

Many years ago, the adeptus Sea Gazer made good friends with a thaumaturge. Emulating the story of adepti and mortal kindred spirits recorded in ancient texts, he gave the mortal his treasured device to aid his friend in battle.
He said: "Look, my friend. This contraption is rather intriguing. If you and I activate it, one can move the heavens and shake the earth.
Such is how the world works. What one may fail to do, two may succeed.
I have spent much time gazing at the sea in leisure and have seldom exerted myself, but it is my pleasure to aid others in need.
The battle ahead is fraught with peril. Millennia later, both you and I may linger in this world no more. When the time comes, someone can return this device to the mountains, which will serve as testament to our friendship."
Thus did the catalyst find its way into mortal homes and stayed in their hands until...

    @@vinangelo9056 the whole storyline was about shaking Xiao out of this survivors' guilt mentality and needing 'a warrior' s death'. The whole ethos of Zhongli as a leader is tough love. He will let his people and children fight their own battles to harden themselves for the unfair and ruthless world. But will never let anyone know he himself is ready to raise his shields and protect them from the worst of the worst. Even retired he is duty bound to be the last resort for his people. But ONLY, the last resort. Liyue would fall if its people became soft (hard lessons from the Qing Dynasty). He's my favourite archon for a reason. As a note: I think only Yanfei, Yelan & Xiao's efforts brought them close enough to the reality plane for ZL to detect their location & save everyone. Memes aside, ZL likely felt Xiao expend the rest of his energy to teleport others, but could not feel his last living Yaksha getting closer to him. Hence the save.

The only reason why he didn't fight back against Signora is because he knew Signora, in fact he adored her before the Cataclysm happened. He probably trusts the Tsaritsa as they were very close friends before the Cataclysm happened, so he just let his Gnosis be taken away.

    Yelan's expression is what hits me the most in this scene. Yes I know Xiao falls and accepts his 'death' but the fact that Yelan looked shocked as she saw him and reached out, she realized what he was doing, and her knowing she can't do anything when she didn't want him to be sacrificed and just the fact that she was worried and looked at him with the face that's just screaming "No!" before she got teleported tied the knot together. It made the entire idea of Xiao almost dying and him really sacrificing himself sink in all the more deeper into my mind. I cried so much during this.

    Despite being much younger than Xiao, I think Yelan is more emotionally mature. She's also very good at reading other people, and realized the ton of trauma he carries. For most of the quest, she was trying to help him, even when she was harsh with him. If they meet again in game, I can see her assuming a bit of a big sister role towards him, much like Beidou did with Kazuha.

I'm assuming the other person just said what's coming off of the top of their heads. Yelan quite clearly shows friendliness despite her being blunt, and doesn't mind working with people. Xiao on the other hand has always preferred being alone and thinks it's better if he doesn't interact with anyone and would try to come off as rude to push someone away. It is disappointing how so many people would push a certain stereotype onto a character just for one thing that they do though- like Xiao as an emo boy and Diluc as a tsundere when there is more to them.

    There's so many comments about Xiao coming to Chasm to die and meet his fate really breaking me. You all missing the point here, he didn't go there to die at all, he only wanted to find out what happened to the last remaining family member as it felt like a thorn in his heart. He even picked up a rock from Chasm for his memorial, HE WAS READY TO RETURN TO SURFACE with everyone. In the end he still had to throw the idea of hope and his survival and as people say meet his twisted fate. He wouldn't have died immediately in the Chasm either, he probaby would have suffered there for decades until he would actually really die. When he was saved by Zhongli, he told traveler everything about the Yakshas, he was leaving his history for someone to tell in case something like this happen again. This boy deserves more credit than people give him 🥺

It's giving Alice's "there's a yaksha in Wangshu Inn and I'm curious" to calling him a weirdo looking her way as she's leaving. Even among Xiao mains, you see this, he literally has his story told to you. Imagine having your innocence and purity taken from you as a child (reason why he's short), get saved after so much corruption so the only thing you can do is defend your nation away from everything and everyone and have a karmic debt that eats you slowly every day for thousands of years. Easiky one of the most interesting playable characters.

A part of me wished he died and get his final rest and say" U did well hero, we will always remember you" but at the same time I don't want that too happen and be free from his karma and enjoy life. But the thing which will most likely happen imo is, he will eventually be succumbed to the darkness and he will die by the hands of us or zhongli

You're never alone, and it's acceptable to feel alone since there's always someone who can help. Don't give up on life because someone hasn't given up on you yet. Killing oneself doesn't stop the agony, but it does pass it on to someone else, and I'm sure Xiao knows that very well :(

    When the platform cracked, I thought everyone would just put their hands together and the “power of friendship” would pull them out of the crisis. Boi i wasn’t ready for that plot development later. The ending is not only impactful, but also makes sense from a storytelling standpoint. We knew Xiao had already made up his mind when he asked about “will”; it was revealed that Xiao informed Zhongli about his trip to the Chasm. Those Hollywood playwrights should take notes, especially those who wrote the new Star Wars trilogy.

    This chapter was a great first step towards Xiao's healing. Finding closure in Bosacius's disappearance, realizing that self-sacrifice is not the answer to everything, and slowly accepting that his life has value and many others would have felt devastated if he were gone were essential to Xiao's growth. I know it always seemed like he had death flags all around him, but his story is actually about him dealing with the scars from his past and his survivor's guilt as the last yaksha standing. His story is all about him learning how to live again, after everything that has happened and after all the loss and grief that he had to endure. From Xiao's namecard, we know his one true wish is not death but to be free, to wear his mask not to slaughter demons but to dance in a field of flowers. All he wants is peace. It was nice seeing him bring his walls down just a little bit, and I'm excited as to what Hoyo has in store for him. You guys keep outdoing yourselves, thank you for a wonderful story.

This would be a great scene in the Lantern Rite as it shows Xiao's character progression and healing, just like what you have summarized. ❤

    I know how like Xiao's sacrifice was all sad, and how Yelan looked at him-- but I really just want to add to the fact that Zhongli was there. He was genuinely concerned; he knew Xiao would've attempted some insane stunt-- maybe even dying in the process. It really warms my heart to know that he still cares for people, and how he is willing to save his city-- or even just one person, if needed.

    This quest was such an emotional rollercoaster ride but I love every bit of it. I really like Xiao's character and his role as Yasha and I have been waiting for a story quest that will explore this side of him. I love that we finally got that in here. It's just that I never expected this to be this painful and so thrilling to watch. Xiao's character is so deep and sad, and to be in a situation where I almost thought he will die, I almost broke down while playing this. So many death flags during the quest and then we got to that cut scene when he fell. As a Xiao main I can't help but cry I really thought I would lose him, it's thanks to our Daddy Zhongli for coming to the rescue and save the day and our baby Xiao. 😭 Thank you Zhongli from saving us from a total heartbreak. Thank you Mihoyo! This kind of story is what got me hooked in playing Genshin, I never expected to get this kind of deep and detailed story telling in this game. And I never expected to be this much attached to a fictional character. It says alot!

    Любая катсцена сопровождается моими слезами. Или слишком мило, или радостно, или грустно, или жестоко. Постоянные слезы. Обожаю катсцены

    Everyone: Oh no! We're trapped here! Traveler: Oh, look at the time. Daily commissions just reset. Let me just teleport my way out real quick. Be back in 15 minutes!

    Not gonna lie, felt guilty going outside during the quest. One of the best story quests so far nonetheless!

    I did the Archon Quest in one run after waiting for all of them to be released. Definitely a more engaging experience.

    When Xiao said, “General Alatus, FALLING IN!” God I really felt that.

    The longest cutscene we had so far. And one of the best and emotional one. Who else almost got heart attack when Xiao was falling? 🤣🤣
