Spoilers for Genshin Impact 5.2 world quest “The Lost Traveler in the Ashen Realm,” plus some earlier quests.
Hey this is my recap and theory about Och-kan, Ochkanatlan, early Natlan, and all the lore within. Plus a long section about dragons, vishaps, and evolution in Teyvat, especially in the face of the Heavenly Principles. I’ma be real with you guys though, idk if I understand Ochkanatlan lore at all idk.
Who is the Python King / Sacred Lord of the Cinder City? What is up with Manqu, Titu, Legba, and Bona? What is Waxaklahun Ubah Kan, the Sage of the Stolen Flame, planning for our lil saurian guy? What does Xiuhcoatl, the pyro sovereign, have to do with this? Does Khaenri’ah and Kaeya have anything to do with this???

pinning a comment for when CCs are done, and forv any other notes or corrections (i imagine there will be 1 million exactly)
10:15 Manqu is super sus. I'm pretty sure that before doing the quest you can still find him where you first meet him, but after completing the quest he's gone. Also Titu super sus too, he is still there and there's new dialogue. The traveller can ask him "I saw you in Ochkanatlan", he gets defensive saying "nooo i wasn't haha". Legba dialogue doesnt change but he also sus lol
[Thatched roof cottages intensify]
well as long as it’s for science, what’s a little earth shattering volcanic light show…. call it lizards in STEM
super helpful, thank you! Enjoy your quality time with son and take care <3
I think There was actually a hint in 5.0 that something was wrong with the sage of the stolen flames and the whole „quest“ we are send on.
Back in 5.0 I did the Yumkasaur acenstor temple quest before the other little buddy quests and at the end when we are in the nightkingdom a voice talks to us and tells us something along the lines of „ don’t trust the visions of the holy mountain and reject HIS promises“ and that stuck with me since then and so everything in the little buddy quests after became sus to me and now after all this 5.2 lore and even revealing that the Scion NPC person „helping“ us in the temple was the sage in disguise im more sus than ever I can’t wait to see how this ends 😀
The Sage nuking the volcano or Dottore burning down Irminsul, let's see who can cause more environmental damage faster
ok this video is AMAZING
I was playing this on mobile when the dragon sage popped up and I started screaming and my boyfriend thought I was crazy
First, smoke detector has been checked. Second, would love another video on Evolution! The Dragon and Natlan lore has been sooo good and learning more about it is awesome. You mentioned that Xbalanque never showed up in any prophecies and they did not expect him. Do you think there is any chance he could be a Descender? Love your video, thanks for all your content!!
I’m behind on Natlan lore but doesn’t it seem like Xabalanque is a descender? And there’s gold imagery tied to them.. are they one of the travelers?
I understand these names are a little hard to pronounce but the way you were pronouncing Xbalanque really took me out of it. It’s pronounced she-baa-lan-k.
Any theories on the new moon destroyed in the sky only visible on natlan??
16:03 I mean, Natlan being engulfed in pure phlogiston would surely drive away the abyss xD
Manqu is probably the sage yeah. lol
It never clicked that "Pahsiv" was "Vishap" backwards, until you pointed it out! More mysterious than ever, that little Melusine. I wonder if we'll see her again.
Delays for Rooz Jr are understandable
Albedo hinted at something in the last Dragonspine quest. He also seem to hide what he found out about the travellers anatomy.
To become more specific Albedo asks if we have a second heart or a fourth stomach which conveniently is what demons are supposed to have. Now it is interesting that he asks that question and since he is not really human he doesn't understand that is a weird thing to say. Now this line becomes more interesting after meeting the Saurians and the human connection they have. Experiments that the dragon sage began with. It is unknown how much Albedo actually knows but in order to drive the story forward he should know quite a lot it might be worth revisiting what he said in the earlier quests as well
Albedo uses star silver ore to conduct a potion to extract the travellers power but why did he use specifically star silver from that mountain as a catalyst. Simply put I do not trust him or his intentions
Pahsiv!
Enjou is definitely coming back. In fact he plays a role in the Iktomi Spiritseeking Scrolls event that is currently active, just under the name Kokuchuu.
Was seriously listening until I lost it at Eye-thority 🤣
Xbalanqui my beloved
What if Sage is Enjou!😈
Ngl, the description of the Huitzilopochtli/whatever the Xiuhcoatl's eye was turned into.. sounds like the Auge der Verurteilung
we wont get mare jivari expansion. mare jivari is the entirety of natlan 🤔🤔🤣
Roozevelt, I KNOW you are working on the info current event quest dropped , so hear me out: I got a possible suspect for the Black Beast on the Mare Jivari, and it's not the phoenix. The thing is, you have to see it for yourself cuz – NO, WAIT, IT'S NOT A CLICKBAIT, I SWEAR! COME BACK! I don't think I can point it out on a comment, so…. On my channel, the video is called "Black Beast Mare Jivari" something. 3 min or some.
With that I bet you can find a path to a lot of info, and I hope it's not a dead end.
the sage playable when?
My cracked theory is like:
The heavenly principles are the master controller of teyvat. They love humans the way humans already are and don't want them to evolve. All things said, how do you achieve evolution? By the use/help of forbidden knowledge, one of the main sources of which is the Abyss. Forbidden knowledge has been locked out of Teyvat by the Heavenly Principles and thus it is a completely foreign concept to life in Teyvat.
Deshret tried to bring it to it's people and the people couldn't tolerate the power of forbidden knowledge.
We already know one of the nations which was technologically advanced and conducting experiments on science, alchemy and evolution – Khaenriah.
Khaenriah allowed forbidden knowledge inside and was punished by the heavenly principles. We also know that one of the Visionaries was Rhinedottir who focused on different types of life and evolution, which supports this argument.
Current teyvat is trapped in a cycle of Samsara by Irminsul which is for all technical purposes, a perpetual samsara machine, which makes life in teyvat stuck in a loop and not allowed to evolve.
One counter to my logic is : abyss causes chaos and destruction so how can it help in evolution?
Hmmm, maybe a total destruction is how you start a new life and evolution… 14:55
Idk man i need to sleep 😴
So its not just mavuika's plan to fight abyss, or her back up plan to use the gnosis or her other back up back up plan to use the lord of the nights..but rather a third back-up, back-up, back-up plan in case the above ones fail, and it is essentially dropping a fcking Nuke on natlan. Destroy everything along with the abyss. This is how the entreaties cleanse the filth, by obliterating EVERYTHING. humans may not survive it or the aftermath, but human-dragon combos may..thanks to dragon blood granting them resilience and strength..idk i m just waiting for traveler to say NO to all the back up plans and proceed to beat the shit out of abyss after they die and are revived by the lord of the night(I mean come on, there is so much emphasis on their name, what the point of all that build up if they don't die and revive?)
22:37 precisely. This is also one of the reasons why i feel currently full powered archons (aka with the authority) are more powerful than neuvilette. Because neuvilette is in the body belonging to human realm wielding the power of light realm. They are not compatible and i do not think that neuvilette can fully unleash his dragon might. Atleast not unless the Light and Human realm are harmonized in the real world. Until then he would be weaker than a mighty dragon sovereign in light realm or a mighty god of human realm. Not by much but he cannot achieve his true peak because of this.
What if Xiabalance is a descender? So far those are the only ones that we know that are kind of hidden from "fate" and can come in and mess around with what is going on in the world. Gets distracted by Otto in a hottub Where was I going with this?
I think we in the end we will fight the corroded pyro dragon and defeat him and he will give his power to traveller and our saurian (mainly the saurian) and our saurian becomes the new Pyro dragon and mavuika steps down hence she is saved and we get Pyro travellor
