The Version 3.5 Genshin Impact Archon Quest “Caribert” had some of the most surprising, yet extremely welcome lore drops so far. Khaenri’ah, Abyss Order, Loom of Fate, and a touching father-son story! My only complaint is Dainsleif and Kaeya’s screen time.

Kaeya must be a pure kaenriahn since he's not an hilichurl, so i think the "reborn caribert" theory is the most realistic and maybe that's why his eyes are different. not sure tho, i'm pretty curious about al of this can't wait for the next dain archon quest :))))
Khahireber ?
wow this whole version was so interesting, even the event. i’m also so intrigued about the hexenzirkel, can u pls do a video on it if possible?
I was sleeping when this was uploaded, but yay! I'm waiting for this! 🥰🥰🥰
Thank you for the recap !! it was great as usual !! too bad i can no more watch your streams !! work n stuff, i miss that a lot !!
My eyes went wide when I recognized we were going towards the Chasm.
The wait for your husband´s appearance was worth it, right?
same bro same
cryo abyss daddy uwu
was caribert really spoken like that? i mean i understand your insistence on speaking the sumeru names the way you want to since I could understand the logic behind it(culturally), but Caribert being spoken as C-ha-ri-ver? idk man
Thank you so much for this <3 that quest was extremely confusing too me and I didn’t not understand anything about it, so thank you for explaining it
When genshin will make their own anime?
This is just something that has always bothered me but people who mispronounce names/words on purpose truly annoy me. Yes ‘Caribert’ may have Frankish origins, but nowhere in the story do any of the characters pronounce the name this way. A real life example would be the name Xavier – some pronounce ‘zay-vee-er’ while others pronounce ‘ex-zay-vee-er’. In any instance you should always pronounce someone’s name the way that they themselves pronounce it. Thanks for the story recap in any case.
fantastic summery. Can you do one about the Eternal Oasis?
I guess Caribert is Kaeya. Here's my theory, Clothar is a regional man, he wouldn't have time to explore or have affair outside Khaenri'ah. But Peiro is different. His affair might led him to meet a woman he loved. With consequences, he was forced to give his son to Clothar. Reason why Caribert became a Hilichurl is because he's half Khaenri'ah and half Monstadt, which is same with Kaeya. The pure blood of Khaenri'ah cannot transform to be hilichurls. Lore said, hilichurls are thousands years old. That mean there are before than Khaenri'ahn who received this punishment. Teyvat people who don't obey God will have this punishment.
at least the lore youtubers support the idea that kaeya is not caribert, I know the minsleif channel accepts all theories but kaeya is caribert is, in lack of better words to convey my feelings, stupid. Just because it's interesting does not mean you can use it as a headcanon without any logic to the story.
there are 2 questions in my head and I didnt find a good answer for…first, why was the traverler found unconscious although he was supposed to be asleep ? when did he wake up at the first place ? second is the sudden change in clothar attitude with the traveler after he woke up. He said he suspected the identity of the traveler so what made him sure ? and why hiding what happend to caribert ?
Hi Minsleif! Or just anyone here. I’d like to ask if those khaenri’ahns who were born after the cataclysm like Kaeya (if not Caribert) are unaffected by the curse? Thanks!
girl, you down so bad on dain huh.. i laugh so much when watch your full caribert quest
gotta love the subtle hardcore simping over dainsleif
thank you ma'am for this video
thank you for this summary vid!
No need to add the weird gh sound to Caribert. It's pronounced cari-bear and the noise is no where to be seen
why do i feel like the windblume event from before has connections with the third question in this video ("is kaeya caribert")? the event where kaeya had to write down a letter and that he wrote words that hilichurls use, "mi muhe ye" which venti mentioned that it means 'i love you', but it can also be conveyed as 'i triumph you' which also takes me back to the defiled statue of mondstadt.
Do correct me if its unrelated but i wanted to make sure if it connects somehow with the third question as i am quite curious as well.
Is it really MonSHtat??
Your theory about the unknown voice is really good. But recently I read a theory about who it belongs to that I haven’t heard anyone else say and it was really intriguing!!
Imagine Kaeya is actually Caribert and over time he reverted back to human form and he wears the patch as a symbol of the mask his father told him not to take off…dang I’m reaching hard eh
What if Caribert is Kaeya’s dad 😬😬😬
I’m glad to know that you are a fellow lover of dainsleif. Also thank you so much for these videos it really helps with the amount of lore that is within this game. Hope we can one day be friends 🥰💙
my friend also mentioned that as soon as Dain wakes us up, he says we were dreaming of our "sibling" and allows us to rest more, meaning it's likely were in the dream even then.
i liked the recap, especially since you add in relevant info that's not always easy to recall from older content. still have to personally rate the quest 1/10: not enough Dain
9:40 yeah after paimon had a panic attack it's unlikely she's going to want to split up with the traveler
Btw I'm loving the dainslief subtle simping
Dain very directly calls Kaeya "descendent of the Abyss Order's founder." So at present Kaeya being the progeny of Chlothar's siblings feels less likely. My guess is either Caribert or the "first son(going off Caribert being second)" which would be Chlothar's legitimate heir that he probably thought he lost.
Chlothar doesn't seem like he would have had any extra kids after Caribert? He seemed to have loved Caribert and Caribert's mother enough that he was buried right next to her. So, leaving the possibility of Chlothar having more kids-post Caribert aside for now, that leaves Caribert himself and the potential legitimate Alberich that would assumedly still be a pure blood. Said legitimate Alberich could in theory have gone on to have kids leading to Kaeya, but this would mean either Kaeya's a pure blood, which he doesn't seem to be going off his eyes compared to others like Dain, Chlothar, Halfdan, etc. or Kaeya's mixed, which if the legit Alberich did have mixed kids down the line, I think they would most likely be afflicted with the curse and turned into Hilichurls without any currently known contact between them and the Abyss Order/Chlothar over the years?
Chlothar himself is the one who found a way to die despite the curse of immortality, leaving your Twin to take the throne as Abyss Prince/Abyss Princess. This is a bit of a stretch, but I'd like to think Chlothar also found a way to make Caribert human again.
Personally, at the moment, I think I subscribe to the thought that Kaeya is probably Caribert's descendent. If Kaeya is from Caribert's lineage and not actually Caribert himself, it's worth noting that Kaeya's eyes are a bit darker than Chlothar's, actually about the same color as Jean's and Barbara's, even. We know Caribert was born to Chlothar and a Mondstadt woman, so if said Mond woman was perhaps a Gunnhildr, that would explain both Kaeya's eyes having a smaller star compared to pure bloods, serving as proof he's mixed, as well as having similar eye colors to Jean and Barbara.
This is purely speculation, of course, but it'd be hilariously on point if it was another hint Hoyo left in plain sight for years that wasn't relevant until something like a reveal of who the Mond woman Chlothar fell in love with was.
Also, the Abyss Twin being called Prince or Princess of Khaenri'ah is it's own can of worms, since they were apparently royalty in Khaenri'ah and not just in the Abyss Order's hierarchy. Chlothar was apparently too low in status to ever interact with the Twin? It seems to suggest that Pierro, who lived with the Twin, was perhaps of much higher standing?
If kaeya is mixed how is he human still?
3:42 i think dainsleif was addressing the sibling as we are dreaming of our syblings memory.
conclusion… kaeya is a hilichurl in disguise.
1:39 Best part of the video is Minsleif's reaction to Dain 😹❤️🔥 too cute
ANNND…
QIQI being synonymous with DUMP 💀💩
too accurate.
Juicy Lore summed up in one Leafy Video. Everything was brilliant! The choice of bg music, the editing, the graphic elements and ofc Minsleif's reactions to Dain 😹😹
That whole talk about the curse of halfblood and fullblood khaenri'ens made me wonder that maybe the reason khaenri'ha got destroyed is related to their Origins? We know that Khaenri'ens are different from people from the other nations and as said in the archon quest, all khaenri'ens descend from the same bloodline but who was it? Was it maybe one of the decenders? Another 'godly' being? Or maybe even from the dark entity that the traveler calls a "sinner"? This would also maybe explain why our sibling was the prince/princess or khaenri'ha. Maybe since khaenri'ens decended from a decender and our sibling is one as well they wanted to make them their leader which then maybe tied their fate to this world in some way???
✨Curry Bear✨
Can someone remind me what Kaeya said about his grandfather and a certain sword? A theory said that its traveler's sword
Your voice is as beautiful as always
Forget about genshin lore, I'm in love with you minslief
