This quest hurt me... (Genshin Impact 2.7 Archon Quest Reaction) 

f for xiao

It's becoming increasingly difficult to say which Archon quest is the best one because each one gets better than the last

I CRIED SO HARD AT THIS QUEST i thought xiao genuinely died and was bawling my eyes out

It's nice to see Sarah take her time and enjoy Genshin at her own pace. Honestly, after taking an extended break, I am loving the game more than ever.

Xiao is such a well written character it hurts😭

am i the only one who noticed that if you do the quest on different days, when Xiao wakes up his wounds are healed but if you do it all at once they're still there ? i thought that was a pretty cool detail

This quest was so good! 😭

not only did i get a mental breakdown from the damn puzzles, i also got a mental breakdown after finishing the quest, truly taken the morb out of me 10/10 👍

People should notice that there are two times Paimon feels tired. One is when an exit suddenly appeared to get the traveler out of the "abyss". (We can see from Itto how exhausting to break through a wall.) The other one is when the compass suddenly appeared out of nowhere. Paimon used her power to help us. And also it was Paimon who knocked over the compass and it suddenly activated. At the start of the final escape, Yanfei said that the compass is an amplifier. That's why they can use it to create a way (something like continuously breaking walls) to the outside. As Xiao used up his power, the exit also closed. But Zhongli not only reopened the exit but was also able to pull Xiao out of the seal. Furthermore, he returned to Liyue and went through a very long conversation with the story teller and not feeling tired. This shows how power he is and that the power within Paimon was currently no match for a god. Many people think some plots are unnecessary. But I think they are there for other purposes.

My heart... my soul... Xiao has been burdened by his karma for so long that it feels like he was ready to die at any time. It's not like he has given up on himself it seems, but rather he has lived and fought for too long that he has lost sight of his own significance, that his nature is really just to make sure everyone around him survive. They might think that he's sacrificing himself, but I doubt that is how he sees it. It feels like he doesn't even think of himself at all to begin with, and if he did, he would probably try to survive with everyone and we can see that towards the end of the quest here, that he started to realize that he is present, by talking stuff out with the traveller, or earlier when everyone affirmed him that he was not a burden, or when Zhongli came to rescue him and he realized that Zhongli didn't have to, but there must be a reason that he went out of his way. In a way, Xiao started to learn his own self-worth and significance, and that made me tear up...

Itto did a good job lighting up the mood..the moment he pass out the atmosphere immediately get intense

I SWEAR I WAS JUST THINKING A MOMENT AGO "hmm, I wonder when Sarah will upload her playthrough of the new quest" Sarah, you are amazing, and I can't wait to witness your descent into madness

this is actually the first time I almost cried because of what Xiao did and especially what Zhongli did..so after the quest I build a good artifacts for him..

Yeah the quest was really emotional with lots of twists and turns!

The best so far imo i literally didnt expect the emotional impact Edit: i really really like the relationship of zhongli and xiao 😭 like a father and son

46:21 I agree, this was the most intense cutscene from Hoyoverse so far. They were gone for some time but sure came back with a bang! Xiao kinda grew on me as time passed. The way he slowly opened up to humans, and with the two lantern rites basically showcasing that. What an emotional ride if he actually died in this video T_T

Out of the three nations we have so far, Liyue has the most impact in terms of lore so far. Mondstadt kinda feels forgotten and Inazuma lost its spotlight pretty fast once we fought Raiden. Liyue kinda feels like their favorite child so far.

No doubt of the best archon quest. The interactions havr funny and serious moments for us not to get too bored, the domains have interesting puzzles, a good lore about the Yaksha, and finally an epic emotional cutscene. Also we heard the traveler spoke 2 words again. I think thats my favorite part lol

This became my fav quest especially that xiao is my fav i love him soo much it really hurt me see him crying and suffering and in this quest he showed more emotion than usual and showed that he cares about us that he almost died i love him sooo much idc i just love him sooo much🥺❤

I really love your genshin videos! I hope you make more in the future

Yay thanks for this video!!! Absolutely enjoyed every second of it. I love this quest so much and I can watch it over and over again.

Love watching Sarah play Genshin! It's how I found her on RU-vid! I watched this whole VOD yesterday over on Twitch, but now I'll be watching this too I guess! 😅 Hope she'll continue having fun with Genshin at her own pace! ❤

thank u for this sarah! it is indeed my new fave cut scene as well

Honestly I’m super glad I stopped playing Genshin for a full year just to come back to this. Sure I had to do about 1-2 weeks of catch-up due to never experiencing Inazuma, but I’m super glad to experience that. Because this quest was the best bit of story content Genshin has done parring the Dragonspine and Golden Apple Archipeligo quests.

I just finished this quest this morning and then saw you posted a video of it and knew I needed to watch again. 😆

this quest made me cry as well!! good to know i wasn't the only one (loving the frequent genshin uploads)

nicee more genshin content glad to see youre enjoying the game again! love ur content as always :D

The Archon quests lately have been nothing but emotional damage for me i swear the more the story progresses the more it gets sadder and tragic.

This story quest is the best out of all the story quests it’s so emotional😭

I was crying when Zhongli saved Xiao. I mean... he really IS the best archon ❤

You are such a mood, Sarah. Thank you, I think you've found the perfect place for you in Genshin, one upload per update or whatever, but you're still so clearly invested. I thought nothing could top the Liyue finale in 1.1, but somehow Genshin keeps out-doing themselves again and again.

In case you don't know, there is a mistranslation. Oni and Demon(or ghost) are actually the same word both in Japanese and Mandarin. Ushi was born to fight Onis. However, despite being an "Oni fighter", he decided to stay by Itto's side just becuz he likes him.

Writer: so how much emotional damage should I put in the story? MHY: YES! BTW 46:26

Your videos was so good and amazing! 😍😍👍

3 SarahKey videos in 3 days ... You love to see it ☺️

Nice to see more genshin content! Thanks Sarah

I cried a lot during the last part of this quest. It was very emotional, it hurt a lot when you think for a second that Xiao was about to die.

I really like the quest but it makes me cry

thanks for the video, Sarah.

Just 10 minutes in so far but I just wanted to say I REALLY like the balance you've struck in your editing! Some lets plays on youtube can feel kind of slow, and some cut out so much that I get FOMO as a viewer, but this is a lovely and engaging balance!

2 minutes in and I'm already dead laughing at your struggles 😭😂😭😂😭😂😭 You're underrated ma'am istg

After ending this quest you should go to the story teller that Zhongli likes to go to cause you get the chance to talk to him and ask if he saved Xiao or not

I catched this on stream and I'm gonna watch it again!!

This always happens When something interesting happens the characters like Itto always fell unconscious or will forget what happened

35:34 Thats what she said! :D

I love your reaction ❤

"Oh thank god" - yeah, literally.

The quest was so damn great especially after the wait. I expect nothing less from hoyoverse I hope they deliver from now on.

Currently doing the Chasm exploration on my second account, as well. Kicking enemy ass? Check! Falling off an opening trapdoor after defeating them? Check! I love Chasm indeed.

That was a roller-coaster of emotions

I really thought Xiao was gonna die! I cried so hard when it actually showed bosacious and his sacrifice!

Best quest and cutscene in the game by far.

wow i just noticed Bosacious dying scene pays so much homage to A Little Match Girl

"I think this is the hardest Genshin Impact has ever made me cry..." Gurl... Same. I was destroyed. Doesn't help that I love Xiao and still don't have him. This quest made me pull 20 wishes on his banner I shud have been saving

I love your reaction Sarah ;)

Great video as always! Though one thing Id say is maybe take a stream to level some characters and get some artifacts. It can make all the difference in the world. If youve been playing you probably have a bunch of fragile resin saved up that you can use to do a bunch of domains and exp Ley Lines if youre short on mats.

Imagine what would've happened if Xiao didn't tell father Zhongli where he was going 😭 glad you enjoyed and are taking the journey at your own pace! 🤍

I started crying lol

I took a long hiatus cause it was starting to get dry for me personally, but this quest got me back into it and I really enjoyed it!

this was full package personally great story, granted some dialogue could have been cut out or shortened but overall it was ok, music really good, really nice puzzles and great cutscenes

I really cried when the scene of the screaming adepts was tortured, they were very sad and pitiful

Oh and heres a tip. Build and level Zhongli! My entire play experience got so much better the second I pulled for Zhongli. His shield is so nice that you can play much less cautiously since it negates so much damage as long as you keep it up

This is just the beginning, imagine Sumeru and others

omg.. i'm crying too when bosacius remember his bro and sis.😭😭😭

“Are you roasting lavender melons? Oh does that mean we can roast paimon?” OMG

Idk what else I would say but I Love you your awesome

This littery well write story best archon quest so far littery! And kudos to the eng VA i feel their emotional 😭

I am not lying when i say i cried 3 times during this quest

Bruh I cried too, this event was very emotional

All those unchecked notifications are driving my anxiety crazy

you can coop for helping fight monster for world quest, it will help a lot

Does no body realize that the music playing in the final cutscene is Xiaos demo theme remixed?

Woaah the Genshin uploads😊

45:33 "Oh thank god!" Thank big daddy Zhongli indeed.

I love your videos

As a non twitch user, its been like ages waiting for sarah to upload a genshin content here T.T

the final cutscene really broke me (the yaksha one) I wish hoyoverse will somehow reveal that they weren't dead or something and they become playable characters

yey sara playing Genshin again

I loved this quest! Also, Sarah, it's time to upgrade your team. Like I know you only play casually, but it's time haha.

anyone ask me if im crying me:no it just raining

I don't think this game allows the situation to fully sink in but we are trapped in a cave that is draining our life at a slower pace while what appears to be ghost or the Dementors show our worst days over and over it has been around 20 days before getting out the Chasm this could of been a novel this is a psychological horror. our group is superhuman with wills of iron. I want to know their braking point how far can they go before going insane from the cave or starvation?

I love Xiao with all my heart and when I played this broke my inner me I can't believe how much hate he gets for putting others first

I am crying again 😭💔

"this quest hurt me (genshin impact 2.7 archon quest reaction)" me: this quest hurt me bad.. ( genshin impact sacrificial offering quest *TRYING TO DO IT* )

oh no, i was about to starts studying then this vid popped up

Great job! It seems Xiao has had an epiphany at last. He's grown beyond the simple emo that I thought he was at first.

The best archon quest ever!

My redemption has come! Itto will be mine and Kuki will force him to join my party!

Perfect...

Sadge quest. True sadge.

If you’re not madly in love with the himbo Itto, you have no soul lol this quest had me in physical pain from overexposure to his dippy ass, but I loved every minute of it 😂

Yakshas hurts me a lot. I'm broken after witness the teaser 💔

Itto and Paimon share a birthday and a braincell :)

I wish we can learn more about the other yakshas

"Do we get to roast Paimon?" Traveler and Itto roast Paimon throughout the entire quest...

Zhongli said “not today”

Remember..? Zhongli is stil drinking an osmantus wine when the liyue fight the Osial and his wife.. But Zhongli Protect Xiao when he on danger.. its prove how care zhongli with xiao 😊✌️ Cause Zhongli dont wanna lost Yaksha anymore 🥺 Xiao is the only one Yaksha who left until now ✨

I think its one of the better story quest sort of but honestly after the extended banner and month of nothing to do They lock you in a cave for 3 days

Bull chucker gets me every time 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂😂🤣

“SideKick”
