A Closer Look at Wriothesley's Ship in Fortress of Meropide 

When I was doing this quest, the only thought that I had was, "Moosashi will definetely find a way to the ship" xD

The fact that you spent 8 hours on this is impressive as it is but the fact that it is so secure is a bit suspicious for sure

Considering how secure this place is, i'm putting a suspicion on this place. There might be a bit lore related things inside and hoyo did not want us to spoil it, the ship is Fontaine's first history after all

If it was just a 3d picture/sprite on top of the glass to create the illusion of a ship and/or dock underneath the fortress then that means they never intended it to be used in any upcoming quest or main story of fontaine, and it was just a red herring to add to the doomsday gloom atmosphere. If it really is/was there, then it would/will actually be used in the archon quest and story of fotaine for SOMETHING, at the very least.

The ship looks awesome. I hope we get to explore inside it

Ok so first it's Dan heng parting the red sea and now wriothesly is literally making Noah's arc for Fontaine

Didn't expect for the ship to actually be a detailed model with collision and all. It looks awesome and I hope we get to properly explor the ship in a future archon quest.

I think the story of Fontaine will literally become Noah's arc.

The first time i saw this ship in the quest. I immediately thought "I'm pretty sure Moosashi will try to enter this place" AND HE DID!

This is probably a super fringe theory but its possible they have a cube surrounding the whole area so that they can resize the asset group later. I think that right now they want the assets to be small so that they look far away in the window from Wriothesley's basement, but later when it comes time for the purpose of the boat to be revealed they'll make it larger. As someone pointed out, the boat and the cranes look a lot smaller up close than expected, so this "invisible cube" might just be an asset group in whatever engine Genshin runs on that has collision turned on. I could be totally wrong though.

I actually did this! I decided to glitch out of the office and see if I could get to the Primordial Sea or on the ship, but was unsuccessful. it's always fun to do stuff like this though, and I learn a lot when you make videos like this. keep it up, moosashi!

I hope wriothesley's story quest has something to do with the ship

That last Statement was so true. Crazy stuff happens on mobile but it is a pain to play on from my experience. Although I did glitch out of map many times.

I too wanted to go and visit this. I failed and waited for your vedio.

i'm guessing next version we will get on the ship, otherwise why would they have made such a detailed model for it? if the ship was mean to be innacessible they could have just given us a fancy png behind the glass window of the basement in wriothesley's office, but they didn't do that, the big gate behind the ship also implies it's meant to go somewhere that we'll be able to explore as well. I'm really excited to see what happens in the story that would lead wriothesley to use the emergency ship, maybe the nation will start to get flooded after all.

of all the things I expected Fontaine to be, a recreation of "Noah's Ark" isn't one of them

The instant I saw this I wanted to get there. I'm not too well versed with out of vounds stuff myself so I didn't manage, but I'm surprised that it's so secure you were unable to as well. But still, very interesting video. It's almost suspicious that they made so sure that this place specifically is completely inaccessible.

As somebody who has made their way into other spaces that have these cubes around them, they actually don't have six sides. It's 5, but it's unlikely that many will be able to go under a box and ascend enough/maintain the height (even with Kazuha). The way I do it usually is with C1 Xiao because Scara can't descend fast enough before his skill runs out. If you can find a pocket of water OR a patch of grass to clip into under the box, it will push you upwards into the cube boundary and you will be free to explore within the invisible box.

Never thought I’d see paimon get hit by her own “ how about we explore this area later”

Can confirm all the crazy glitched shit does indeed happen on mobile... (as a player who got stuck multiple times in the weirdest of places during the stormterror archon quest as a newbie and had to restart some cutscenes about 15 times over....all thanks to my potato phone and terrible internet connection at the time)

I actually thought that this was some sort of camera trick on a 2D image, I hadn't expected them to completely model this whole area just for us to be unable to explore it lmao

Wriothesley's Ark Or, as I like to put it, Wriothesley's Borealis. Also, I have a feeling that we might use this ship in Act V of the Fontaine story. And if not, some future Archon Quest.

crazy to think that that if fontaine floods, this will be the first live genshin map change

Oh my word you did it?? I’m so impressed, I’ve seen people do the glitching on streams and it was one of the toughest rides I’ve ever seen

I get the feeling the ship will be involved in 4.2's Archon Quest - basically a direct Noah's Ark allegory.

Man. Really wanted to find a way back in this room yesterday, but couldn't wind it anywhere. Exploring the fortress from outside was interesting, yet I still was hoping that I'll find it somewhere below the map, just like Elynas

Apologies to Waverider, now THIS is my favorite ship

I think this is gonna be like a domain for Wriothesley’s quest

Coming back after the recent archon quest [SPOILER ALERT] . . . . . . I'm so disappointed that we didn't even get to be ON the ship :(

wriothesley is getting ready for great pirate era.

When wriothsley explain his plan my brain think 'dude are you planning to do what Noah did'

ooh, I've been waiting for this! I had been trying to glitch onto the ship myself for ~30 minutes, only to immediately get caught by a teleport barrier upon breaking out :') lost patience soon after that thank you for going through this in our stead 🙏

It's always nice to know that I can watch you break into all the places I can't reach for myself. I'm sure the eventual cutscene will be truly epic.

He locked up his ship like a shrine of depth - dude is taking no chances

I’ve already glitched outside of it (via the surface and gliding/swimming down to it) and it looks pretty cool. Fun fact, you can reach mary ann’s house from it, just barely within gliding distance. Unfortunately the devs made a no-no box around the whole thing, so only way inside is through the ground underneath it after some creative climbing.

Huh, im actually surprised that the area had a model, i was sure it was just a one-off picture for one scene

By this point, I think Moosashi's Xiao has seen every location in Teyvat.

I always love seeing you upload a new video. I love the “behind the scenes” of the game and glitches. Good video!!

When I first saw that ship, it genuinely had my taken away. It's so grand and absolutely gorgeous. It's such a shame we NEVER got to actually step onto it.

Noah's Ark starring Wriotheslay as Noah.

Well done, I was looking forward to you getting to this video the second I saw the ship in the archon quest. Looks like Hoyo did put effort into making it, so I hope that they won't disappoint and actually use it in the next part of the archon quest.

Crazy thing happen in mobile is really true especially if you using phone when your connection is not stable or your memory is almost full, you can find surprise glitch with that lol

This ship + the Arkhium farming leads me to believe it's supposed to be like Noah's Ark and save Fontainians from the flood

Everytime I see that ship, it remembers me of the Stulitfera Navis ship in Arknights

I think those dev must have knowing there be glitching and spoilers. I guess they have must plan this in case some one did this.

Welp, as a game dev, i REALLY thought it was a 2d superposition. Hoyo codes stuff weird.

I think the new wind current gadget from Fontaine reputation rewards will grant you more options, or better yet, allow you to access areas previously inaccessible before. Can't wait to see where you break into next

Lmao. I literally finished the story yesterday... or rather today early in the morning my time. And when I was looking at the ship I was asking "I can't wait till Moosashi gets there". And boom. Here I browsed RU-vid earlier this day and You did it. That's hilarious moment. I want to see what You have achieved here. Wriothesley is so reliable. He heard about Your exploits and made the Fortress totally Moosashi-proof. At least that secret ship. He probably even expected You to come here already and watch You how You fail to get inside. Oh, You actually get super close. But Wriothesley is probably laughing behind the curtain, that You didn't manage to go on board, yet being amazed that You got this far.

thank you. i couldn't find a way to break out of the office myself so i'm glad you showed us what's out there

Well WRIO mentions about going on a voyage on uncharted seas. And the gate to the primordial sea is below the level of the ship so maybe the ship is for the primordial sea and not the actual waters of fontaine. Also fontaine itself is elevated maybe the fortress of meropide has an opening on the far side of the water fall above the regular sea level?

How does he always manage to find a way into the areas I want to revisit?

101% certainty this ship will be of use soon

i really hope that we will be able to get to that ship

Wow they really dont want you to go in there XD If there's something that stops even Moosashi, I hope that this ship gets some major use in act V

Did not disappoint. Really wanted to come back here

Maybe it's a real prop for the next Archon quest, considering the secrecy and the security.

great reality-breaking, thanks moosashi!

Hey I'm from the future and we have not been given access to this area yet as of 4.5! (Spoilers for Fontaine archon quest) The ship was used only in the final cutscene to save people from the water. But then it just disappears once the cutscene is over. A shame to say the least. At least the stuck to the chekhov's gun principle but just barely and in a way I'd call superficial. I really hope it shows up again somewhere later in the game and we get the ability to walk on it.

YESSSS THIS IS THE VID IVE BN WAITING FOR

The whole fortress is so Aperture Science like it makes me uneasy

OH I WAS WAITING FOR THISSS

Many people had already pointed that out, but I shall too - I like how the moment I saw that ship in the quest, I immediately knew you'd try to get there 😆

I immediately thought this is his version of Noah's ark if the whole teyvat got flooded

moosashi, you are a blessing

When the glass unblurred I knew that Moosashi would break in and take a closer look

the bridge kinda reminds me of London's from Mortal Engines film with those huge windows and tall orientation

Another way of doing that is running genshin through an external hard drive and playing on a server across the world. (neither of which was my choice, but here i am) ms is usually locked to 300 and things load very slowly when you first enter an area (outside of cutscenes) You can walk through the sandstorm in sumeru as well as this glass wall using a portable way point, just teleport to it and then try to control the game as it runs on 1-2 fps. Inconvenient and time-consuming, yet it sound like a Moosashi style solution.

The moment I saw the ship in game I was waiting for you to somehow break into it

this is what I've been waiting for all this time

Great work

I was soo disappointed and shocked that it's not explorable area, it seems so detailed

i knew it! as soon as i saw this i was like oh a place we cant enter well imma wait for Moosashi vid then.

Looks so good

im convinced they watch your video for all possible patches. Cuz after the update i went to places and they subtly patched everything as if there was no change at all. The paimon barrier was expected but they even patched the Room in Mary Ann quest which helps you go out of bounds. Theres just one place I didnt check which is the aquabus bridge and not a lot of people knew about it. Its also a good place to break out of bounds

Thanks for this.

more contentt yessss fire vid

I hope it's unlocked in the next update or in wriothesley's story quest

So this is why I was thinking I have been here accidentally 😂

Devs are fed up probably 😭

I wouldn’t be surprised if this is where the domain for wriothesley’ story quest is.

But yeah I think we will see the ship "in full flight"

Nice!! Knew you'd find a way!!

I was thinking about you when I seen this boat

Cool it's so magnificent this submarine ship.

Wake up baby moosashi dropped a new video

I'm sure the HYV employee watching this video is taking notes and will do better next time.

So mIHoYo finally was able to build the Moosashi-Proof Barrier for something after all Edit: I wrote this before the Plot Twist

Patiently braking into a prison :)

AS SOON AS I DID THAT PART OF THE QUEST I SAID TO MYSELF "can't wait for moosashi to go have a play around with the ship" 💀💀💀

Oh wow you found a clip waaaay easier than i did… Its definetely very wierd that its in a cube though…

Awesome!!!! I wanted to try breaking in but glad I watched your video instead! Could I request please for a short video if you could break into the glass windows in Fontaine buildings? If you climb up on windows of certain buildings, you can see through the slightly frosted glass and see a furnished room without doors inside! I tried to glitch in but failed 😞

technically you could use some hack like akebi to break into and see the whole model using noclip

i think Wriothesley need at least 3 of this ship if he want to take all fontainian from drowning

That ship makes me feel like when you find the empty dry dock of Borealis in Portal 2, why do games keep denying me the creepy boat experience.

First this that came in mind in this scene is how you are going to break in XD

This was like his Hidden Bat Mobile. 😂

once you’re out, if you glide south, slightly west, you can reach The Real Annapausis again!!

It is *exactly* the same that Spina di Rosula have.

I can finally look at the fake tunnel from the outside

hmm, maybe i should try to go there on my oculus quest yes, the VR headset, oculus quest, the first portable one
