FURINA! Oh my gosh. This quest was so good! That scene between Focalors and Neuvillette really tugged at my heartstrings, but Furina’s loneliness is what truly got me. It just felt so profound.
I also loved that Childe cutscene with the whale / narwhal! And Skirk! OMG! As always, it was a pleasure to see Clorinde, Lyney, Lynette, Freminet, and Navia, and then we got to see Wriothesley and Sigewinne towards the end! I’m looking forward to Natlan as well!
Anyways, I hope you enjoy my Fontaine Archon Quest Act 5 Reaction and Playthrough from Genshin Impact’s version 4.2 update!

Man that execution scene made me cry… It was so beautiful, and… "well-executed." Your analysis is on point!!
A couple of things about the Oratrice's guillotine:
– The way it constantly hangs over Foçalors until it drops might allude to the parable of the Sword of Damocles.
Damocles was a courtier of Dionysius I and wanted to switch places with him to experience a life of luxury for a day. To illustrate to Damocles the constant fear of death that looms over people in power, Dionysius had a sword hung over Damocles' crown, held only by a thread
– It has a curved bottom end, which looks like the bottom of an anchor (for the aquatic theme ig, maybe to symbolise the "weight" of the execution), but it might also resemble early guillotines like the Halifax Gibbet in England, which used a curved axe head as the blade instead of the straight edge standardised by the French.
It was used to punish petty theft, a punishment considered so severe by the public that Oliver Cromwell forbade its use and had it dismantled. Ironically, he would be posthumously executed for cosigning Charles I's death warrant lol
One observed the death of her divinity, the other observed the reincarnation of her humanity.
FURINAS house is near the nuvis office ghahahaha
This was one of the most dark and heartbreaking quests, but also beautiful. And great, in a way, to finally see the true colours of Celestia. There is nothing heavenly and divine about them, just hypocrisy and usurpers. Not only that, but also traitors to the their own creations… Even Abyss looks quite innocent compared to them.
furina
Im looking forward to you playing through Furina's story quest 🙂
I loooooooooooooove your commentary and nerding out during the AQ. Also god this quest was so good.
And I feel so bad for Furina but she is not doing her duty to get praises but to save her people and she did. But man did it hurt to watch her get hurt
3:38:31 if i recall Genshin announced their future plans like this. 5.0 will be Natlan. 6.0 will be Schneznahya And i forgot what 7.0 will be
Hi Princess Moon-saur. I really love your videos. May i suggest, that you balance your volume. Your voice is too loud against the game volume. When listening to the story then you shout, my family members literally woke up😂😂😂. If i lower the volume, i find it a little hard to hear the games sound. No hate, just for improvements.
here a funfact: aq act 5 of fontaine is called "masquerade of the guilty ". In the Chinese version, it is 罪人舞步旋. If we reverse the position of the characters, it becomes 旋步舞人罪. Pronounced "Xuán huy wǔ rén zuì". We have 旋 homophones with 宣, 舞 homophones with 无. The sentence 旋步舞人罪 will become 宣布无人罪. It means: " A declaration, no one is guilty."
I hope the VA's got paid extra, they cooked good 🤌🤌
I am sorry but I cannot help but dance when I hear "Oratrice Mécanique D'Analyse Cardinal' 😆
Been thinking since that hydro archon was one of the familiars turned to human by the sea water then…technically the seawater could affect both furina n the other one too probably..furina curse only protect from death but water only turn her back while the divinity not sure if will protect since yea the body have same weakness what a headache dk if will be safe way to prove is archon
Wow damn mmmh yeah wooow omg yeah wow hmm man
If you noticed, Long Hair meaning she was roleplaying as Focalors (whom also had Long Hair) and whenever she appeared before people. Short Hair is her "real" personality and after the prophecy fails, she doesnt need to play the role anymore, thus back to her Short Hair from that point.
The first on screen death of an archon and the distraction of the throne. No more hydro archons and it was incredible
She moaning or crying I don’t understand
The amount of Ls childe been taking is funny 😂😂
what an ending
Neuvillette gave a false verdict of Guilty. We find out later that the Hydro Archon was created from an Oceanid with veins filled with Primorial Water just like any other Fontaine person. So Hydro Archon's reaction to the Primordial Water would be the same as anyone else's. Neuvillette gave a verdict of Guilty based on her sense of guilt and public loss of faith. Not a verdict based on evidence.
Furina suffered injustice throughout her entire existence as Archon right up to the unjust verdict.
(she was Archon until she was "beheaded" of her divine Focalors aspect – symbolized by her hat falling after the "beheading")
ps: the Hydro Archon .. in the form of a self-deceiving Furina .. was found guilty of impersonating the Hydro Archon. Which was true. Because she deceived her into her spirit/body aspect into believing she was a normal human, she was actually impersonating the Archon, even though she unknowingly actually was the Archon.
A paradox that shows the limit of a guilty/innocent verdict.
You talk too much.
Your love for the story and your emotional analysis make this one of the best reactions to this quest that I've seen. The way you are able to pick up on the story beats sets you apart. You truly "transform" the content. The fact you also don't skip the voicelines is really nice and makes for a better viewing experience. I consider skipping any of Furina's dialogue in this quest as heresy. Her voice acting is so good.
I may be a bit bias, but I am convinced that Furina is the best character that Genshin has put out so far, simply in terms of storytelling. She also appears to be the community's sweetheart at the moment, and it's understandable why.
In general, all of Fontaine has been excellent, and it's by far my favorite region. Personally, it's not even a contest.
3:38:30 Genshin updates last 6 weeks, and they release a new region approximately every year. If logic holds, then Natlan should be released on 28/08/2024
Well played and great reaction!

Fun fact, 182375 days is 499 years, and about 8 months (using an average of 30 days per month it’s exactly 8). The details that the developers add is always so cool.
Fontaine story is laid out like a play in an opera, with depth, twists and drama. They made it like this because that's the theme of the region. Let's hope that this isn't a one off just for this region and natlan story will be as good as this.
Hope they cook the next one good 🙂
