Cutscene Animation: "The First Sage of Buer" | Genshin Impact 

_"Do you even know how many times you've tried to take my Gnosis from me?"_ the impact of those words coming from an innocent-looking and canonically underestimated archon for centuries is very powerful.

I legit got chills during when Nahida said "First Sage of Buer"

There had better be a hidden achievement for beating the weekly boss 168 times

Traveler still slaying with his dull blade. Legend.

Nahida was so much badass dealing with both fatuis. She was no pushover and I love that.

I love the part when Nahida said "I'll leave this to you, first sage of Buer" and we saged all over the place

What I liked the most in this Archon Quest was that EVERYONE worked together to save their Archon, stop the Sages and the Fatui. From master mind Alhaitham with his outsmarting the outsmarting from those Sages to Cyno deceiving the guards, capture Azar and release Nahida, to Dehya fight the city guards with the eremites, to Nilou distract everyone outside and Tighnari ofc protecting Haypasia to Nahida and Traveler defeating Scaramouche. Also ofc Isak for deceive the guards.

"Do you even know how many times youve tried to take the gnosis from me"(with a death stare) man it gives me chills The fact that such a under estimated,kid looking and "newborn" archon says that,not even raiden is that badass

Nahida saying the first sage of buer to the traveller really gave me chills and I love it.

Ain't gonna lie the improvement from Inazuma's plot line to Sumeru's plotline was amazing they legit made this feel like a movie with all the cutscenes

Traveller: Do you know where my sibling is? Venti: no, ask the next god Traveller: Do you know where my sibling is? Zhongli: no, ask the next god Traveller: Do you know where my sibling is? Ei: no, ask the next god Traveller: ... Nahida: Hey why didnt you ask about your sibling, i have info right here best god so far hands down

I cried throughout the boss fight when Nahida said "The First Sage of Buer." We finally got to fight with a god that adores her predecessor, loved her nation and was underestimated by her people. They locked her in a cage, and created a new god to replace her. Now, she can finally prove to everyone that she is an archon worthy of Sumeru. Us, her First Sage will fight alongside her to save the world.

Dont u love it when the villain thinks they're winning - *but then Nahida pulls the Uno Reverse card*

I felt so powerful when Nahida called us "The First Sage of Buer" It's a title that I will treasure

Not only is Nahida extremely kind, but she also was able to deal with both Scaramouche and The Doctor, AND she actually gave us very important information about our sibling. She's my favourite archon so far. Edit: Plus she's the most adorable character in the game along with Klee.

For someone who’s claimed to “scrub every last human emotion” scaramouche sure has shown the widest range of emotions in the entire game

After completing the Archon Quest "Where the Boat of Consciousness Lies", dialogue, descriptions, and character stories referring to Rukkhadevata will change to no longer refer to her. The one remaining trace of Rukkhadevata's name is in the description of Rukkhashava Mushrooms; its Archive description is changed to specify that people believe that the name "Rukkhadevata" refers to a giant tree that once existed in Sumeru.

Bravo to the voice actors, they did an absolutely phenomenal job at bringing these characters to life. My heart was pouring when watching this in game.

idky but when she says "now all of sumerus wisdom is at your disposal" always gives me the chills. the power she holds damn

The moment you realised all the triival details and throwaway lines in the previous acts were all preparing you for this one moment, Like how the seemingly useless moment of you buying combat knowledge capsule from Dori...it increased your ATK by 1, and at the time it looked like just a point about Dori selling you useless junks, while in fact it was telling you that it's possible to transfer knowledge and knowledge can enhance your combat performance, so it doesn't feel like deus ex machina here; Or, in act 2 when Paiman said compiling knowledge of everyone is like using the city as one big brain, Nahida said she liked that analogy, back then you thought it was referring to the Akademiya abusing people's brain as mere computing devices, but now you know she liked it because that's the true purpose of the Akasha, now just by looking at everything closing their eyes thinking, you understood what's happening here without needing much explanation.

Bravo to the voice actors! Patrick nailed his job totally and I got literal chills when Nahida called us "First Sage of Buer".

Her saying "first sage of Buer" just not about traveler being her first sage but also Nahida acknowledging herself as the true archon and it made me very proud of her

I get literal goosebumps when nahida says "do you even know how many times you tried to take my gnosis from me? ", This Archon Quest beyond my expectations, Nilou's performance, Alhaitham's Plan and the Nahida and Dottore negotation at the end

This was a masterpiece. This quest was 🔥. There was no wasted plots, no unnecessary errands , no wasted potential. They had non linear story progression and so many moving plot points and all came together in a very beautiful story. Nahida dealing with 2 Harbingers. And also giving us sooo many Lore bombs. Nahida Best Archon indeed!❤️

Genshin cutscene animation just keeps getting better and better

This was an amazing Archon Quest! Definitely the best one yet, the story, the characters, and the first two parts of this was the set up to this amazing conclusion. Amazing.

The best part about this scene is that the whole arc made the title feel deserving. The traveller went through so much with Nahida and genuinely wanted to save her and people of Sumeru I felt proud watching this unfold I can only hope the rest of the story can live up to this development

Mondstadt: The honorary knight Liyue: The hero Inazuma: Captain of swordfish II and Chamberlin of Raiden Sumeru: Golden Nara and First Sage of Buer

I was caught off guard and having chills when Nahida called traveler as her first sage to protect sumeru from the false god. The whole journey with Nahida was wholesome and the title of "first sage" to the traveler is rewarding and heartwarming as well. This resembles Rukhadevata's first sage who helped protect Sumeru against calamities back then.

this quest made me cry tbh😢

0:52 I like how Scaramouche held Nahida's middle cape. Perfectly balanced

2:20 “You can’t even defeat me in a dream.” I love it so much!!

This whole archon quest was just a magnificent experience from beginning to end. From how much the story has improved, I just can’t wait for what’s in store in the coming versions! Thank you hoyoverse xD

Dude i got goosebumps when Nahida said the line:"Do you even know how many times you've tried to take my Gnosis from me?" 🥶

I really want to praise the voice actor Scaramouche, he did a great job. (spoiler??) I've watched his screaming scene countless times and every time my heart trembled! This scene is now one of my favorites, thanks VA!

On top of what everyone else has been saying, one of the things that made me emotional about this scene is that this is prolly the first time in 500 years that the Akasha’s been used the way Rukkahdevata intended for it to be used

Sumeru surely has been the turning point of the entire Genshin lore

Nahida giving the traveller the title of her(Buer) very first sage is so cool and got me chills!! THE FIRST SAGE OF BUER!! LET’S GOOOOOO!!!

Scaramouche skipping the entire first part of his battle and breaking open the forge only to skip the dramatic transformation into his second form to speed over and do what is probably one of his most powerful attacks near instantly was amazing at just showing Scaramouche’s pure anger and hatred in that moment was amazing. He used nothing but his native element in that moment and it was just a visual spectacle to watch as well

this has been one of the most amazing archon quests. the buildup, the action, the teamwork, the music and animation?? if hoyoverse’s goal was to make a greater impact in the story before this year ends, they certainly have achieved it

This has got to be the coolest scene in the entire quest. The emotions, the animation, the genius of Nahida and the stance for the final battle. It all meshes together perfectly

its an honor to be acknowledged by Nahida as her First Sage 🥰

That was so incredibly epic The first Sage of Buer To quote Klee: "Nahida is the best!"

“First Sage of Buer” got CHILLS man. Sumeru Archon Quest is really amazing. The characters felt so alive. Glad they improved so much with the writing and didn’t rush anything in the story. Easily 100/10 for me. Also, congrats to Alhaitham for winning the 2022 best actor award!

No wonder Dainsleif can't say a bad thing about the Dendro archon. Nahida is honest, will admit what she doesn't know, loves her people dearly, does not demean anyone, has strong principles, even when she was outcasted by the sage, not once did she blame her ignorant people. When Scaramouche started talking smack about her asking her citizens for help, I was so angry, but she didn't care one bit, the fate of her nation was in danger and she is aware of her flaws. What a great archon. I stan (ಥ ͜ʖಥ)

Imagine how long it would take for all 168 loops to finish playing if we were witnessing it.

From this archon quest, Buer has become the most powerful archon for me. Why? Because she thought through every single action and planned strategically, which trully proves that she really IS the God of Wisdom. And it is even more surprising because from the previous events, Mihoyo made us perceive Nahida as a very passive vulnerable archon. But it was Nahida all along who had planned every single thing to the moment of this victory. I will forever cherish the title " First sage of Buer". Long live the Dendro Archon, the wisest of the wisest❤

I like how scaramouche quickly backs off after nahida retaliates, it just shows how wary he is for such things

3:08 seeing tighnari, alhaitham, nilou and cyno was absolutely perfect 🥺💕

3:03 at this moment, let's admit it, we all got chills

3:50 finally Aether knows how to i-frame

Congratulations Nahida for being the only archon who has actually helped us so far

Is anyone else impressed how much the traveler has improved in combat? It’s insane how skilled they’ve become throughout our journey so far. edit: when in the world did this blow up

This scene was absolutely spectacular also nahida's line "Do you even realize how many times you have tried to take my gnosis from me?" IT GOES SO HARDDDD

With every region, the titles just get more and more badass

The moment she says "The data collection is almost complete" I almost lost all my marbles and became instantly insane, that was soooooo unbelievably coooool!!!

props to the writing team for all of sumeru's archon quests. it's improved so much from inazuma, and this scene's plot twist with the dreams gave me chills

One of my favorite Genshin Impct scene. It has everything an anime has, great actuon, great dialogue, great visuals, great characters, great dramatic scenes. Just great and super affective. 10/10

1:39 "You are standing in my domain" _God of Wisdom_

its only been weeks since we left Sumeru but this feels a year old

I love how Nahida used the power of dreams to trick Scara not only did he get tricked, but also showed the real power of a god

By far one of the best cutscenes in the game

"Now, all of Sumeru's wisdom is at your disposal"-such a powerful line

This was the First time Traveller given a tittle that bring some literal Archon's name in it. We had 'Honorary knight, hero of Liyue, and Captain of Swordfish II' before. None of them had any Archon's (of the Relevant region) name. But in Sumeru, Nahida herself gave us a tittle before her name. Showing her bless upon our power. I never beating a weekly boss with that level of emotions before, ngl. 😂

What really gets me is how he keeps insisting he wants to fight her as a god. When, in reality, she was fighting him as a god, the god of Sumeru, from the very moment she walked in. Just because she isn't throwing mountains or cleaving valleys, doesn't mean she isn't fighting AS a god. Who else but a god could pull the culmination of the entire knowledge of her people to imbue power into her champion? I got shivers up and down hearing us called her first sage. I will always fight for Nahida!

He got that hourglass figure

This scene was beautiful and I was not expecting the twist of the samsara cycles being used to defeat Scaramouche. Just stunning.

Of all MC's titles, this literally gave me chills. I FEEL SO POWERFUL.

Is no one going to mention how good the Traveler is getting at parkour? One of the best scenes in Genshin in my opinion. Thanks you, Hoyoverse!

You know it’s the best cutscene when you get chills over and over again even though you already rewatched this lot of times

the animation of the movements of the false god are phenomenal,, and the way nahida actually cared, looked out for us, and set us up for a proper fight to win,, ugh best archon imo

and scara's va did such a great job too omg the way scara begged for nahida to not take the gnosis

Man, seeing everyone's wisdom come together to help the Traveler really put tears in my eyes.

Congrats on such a good Archon Quest♥️ The writers and the animation team did a wonderful job

Legit got chills down my spine! From the battle with Scaramouche to the aftermath with Il Dottore, Hoyoverse outdid themselves with the archon quest!

This was the best arc so far, love the story and presentation, enjoyed every moment of it. They really upped their cinematography. Every update keeps making me want more.

“Do you even know how many times you’ve tried to take my Gnosis from me?” That line goes hard

The voice actors really make the whole situation goes absolutely amazing 😍 thanks hoyoverse

1:45 when nahida used izanami on scaramouce 168 time to accept his defeat.

4:20 "It's you traveller! You're the first sage of Buer! 🔥✍

Traveler walking through Sumeru after the Archon Quest: "They don't know I'm the first Sage of Buer"

I love the part where traveler talk and wake nahida... I got tears from there till the end

3:25 Some guy in Sumeru : Kick him in the balls

Traveler's titles: Mondstadt - Honorary Knight of Favonius Liyue - Hero of Liyue Inazuma - Captain of Swordfish II Sumeru - First Sage of Buer

I love all the archon quests, but sumeru one was the best.

This archon quest far surpassed everything HoyoVerse has done so far with Genshin. Every character played an important role, every loose end tied nicely and we even had an extensive epilogue. 10/10 perfect quest and story telling.

If I had to choose, I will always pick being called the "First Sage of Buer" over being called "Honorary Knight". And of all the Archons we've met so far, she's the one who has been the most helpful on our quest to find our sibling. All hail the Dendro Archon! All hail Buer!

OMG PAIMON DID THE EXACT 'SHAKING THE TRAVER AWAKE' THING LIKE SHE DID WITH RAIDEN

SUMERU IMPRESSED ME SO MUCH. I LOVE YOU GENSHIN AND NAHIDA. THIS JOURNEY IS AMAZING . 😭😭😭

Gotta love how far Aether has come, from needing help from Raxor to defeat slimes to battling a false god powered by a Gnosis. His fate is most definitely the ultimate one.

Dude, when I tell you the archon quest is so beautifully crafted man. They planned that entire scarmouche fight from the very beginning. trapping him in a dream to collect & memorize his every weakness, before finally curbstomping him once the samsara was broken. So freaking cool. I love this quest.

my favorite part was when the whole of sumeru got screentime because the music and the way that all the people responded and helped the traveler, its amazing honestly

This really gave me chills it's amazing how people are able to create things like this

really can't lie it made me cry :( hoping for more amazing cutscenes, and this archon quest had that!

Amazing! Props to Hoyoverse for making this cutscene animation, I hope we can get more of this in the future. The VAs did amazing job too!

2:07 Aizen: "How long were you under the impression that I wasn't using the Power of Dreams".

I'm so happy that we have the greatest title in whole teyvat for now I almost cried when said called us the first sage

until now,Interlude Act 2 was my favorite quest but this passed BEYOND that for me,this quest was phenomenal! I had chills all over my body and full of emotions.

BRO THE DETAILS IN THIS CUTSENE ARE AMAZING!!! Take a look at 1:22 really quick. Look at the expression on Traveler's face. His face changed from worry to confusion. He's thinking, "wait I've been through this before..." He just had deja vu! He realized, like the time in the subzeruz festival, that he'd already been through this many, many times before!

This whole Sumeru Archon quest was amazing. Nahida is the best Acrhon and the whole Sumeru cast did a really good job.
