The “Shadow of the Ancients” event revealed an extremely crucial history about Ruin Machines that we see all around Teyvat. I try to explain its importance in this video and why Khaenri’ah created the unkillable Ruin Grader. I hope you enjoy 😀

4:07 okay! just got an idea!
during the Stormterror quest, Lisa mentions that the Ley Lines around Mondstadt are all messed up. at the time, we all thought it was because Stormterror was being elementally boosted. But maybe there's also something to do with the corruption, since the elements correspond to Celestia, and the corruption was Abyssal and… not Celestia. Just a thought
also in the stream, zack literally calls the wolflord an "abyssal being" ruin grader is in location that wolflord will be in…sus abyss??
Bro said "that's a topic for another video" but we wont get it until like 2 updates
Turns out these ruin grader are sneznaya basic wooden chest guardian. No surprise there.
Many loves from india🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳
to think that in a few years we'll finally learn about celestia
is ley lines honkai energy?
I have a feeling that Genshin is an AR world created by Schicksal. Khaenriah had most interactions with Schicksal and Celestia went rogue after being threatened by Khaenriah's tech so it destroyed it. And so the twins were created by Schicksal to overthrow Celestia.
Celestia is kinda like a program that went rogue, like a virus and the twins are the antiviruses. Also explains the fact that why some archons and their lores and names are similar to the Honkai Captains.
The end episode of HI3 also explains it. See Dvalin on the screen
Woulf explain why abyss mages dropp ley line brenches when they die
Meh as long as I didn't miss any primo then it's fine 😉 just kidding these lore theories are fascinating
who else
who has a zhongli but didn t use him to improve our dodging skills with this ruin grader
or was it just me
Now that I think of it… why is ruin grader only appears when there is an ancient civilization ruined by celestia… is it because those civilization made the machines, that celestia destroys them?
Does the ancient civilization in tsurumi island has silver tree like sal vindagyr?
This was an interesting one tbh. Im not a lore enthusiast but this is kinda interesting
Aloy *who fought machines from her ancestor, that use biomass as fuel and self repairing : "first time? "
So PMA is a physical hypostasis
I can see why Celestia saw Khaenriah as a threat
They literally able to copy nature into machines, and make it somewhat even stronger.
There were 2 prototypes I've seen in this game, the one on the stormterror's lair and this immortal ruin grader. Remember, those are just prototypes. The sheer amount of firepower they have is stupid.
I wonder what other creation they've invented that can be found in other nation.
Add this to the abyss
Physical regisvine confirmed
Aw hell naw they stealing my mora leylines >:□
this place is also a place where new boss appears, the giant wolf from the abyss
ouhhhh… i got it(i know it already)
so the last archon is the Physical Archon
1:47 oh yeah, you know the ley line blossoms? they produce gold particles, and so does this ruin grader when regenerating
So the reason that Ruin Grader existed was because of disrupting Leylines? Oh god…I don't wanna imagine what hell is the Chasm then.
I also thought it was probably the Fatui that was studying ruin guards who made that monstrosity.
Bakugan hypostasis
If the gods cannot control something then that god is not worthy to be called gods. So we have to change the name
The thumbnail…
or they just want to create life itself. ehh nobody truly knows for now
Mechanical Hypostasis, now Mechanical Regisvine
A lot about leylines is still hazy despite how central they are to everything. This event was a bit boring but it gave me hope we'll learn a lot about leylines in Sumeru.
Imagine dottore able to make a mecha and fatui sit inside it
but then, the question should be:
what ARE the leylines then?
Now it makes sense why the gods were so afraid of the people of Khaenri'ah. It wouldn't have been long before the humans could have build a mechanical god to go against celestia. Maybe it's production is already in progress. we saw that inverted statue of seven after liyue or monstrad quest i don't remember.
REALLY COOL!!
2:28
Lol so it is a physical Hypostasis
Now I can see why Celestia and the archons blasted the living hell out of Khanneriah
