What the Ruin Serpent does Underground Off Camera 

this is really intriguing, i'm somehow really mesmerized by how these things happen from beyond the naked eye. it can also help aspiring developers to know what or what not to include to minimize resources, but still make it run optimally (that is if the player doesn't know about your ruin serpent having a seizure underground)

I'd guess the circling semiserpent is there to reduce load on the renderer if the battle is not going on. The whole serpent may be hidden under the ground but for the inside of the cave it's completely occluded so the renderer does need to draw it until battle begins.

RU-vid just KNEW what I wanted to see. When my friend and I played through the chasm and came to this area, my first thought was "Wow, I wonder how this is animated? This is unlike any boss we have" and I was pretty sure already that the one we see move around while nearby was not the "real" model due to genshin's capacity. It's really interesting to see. Brb binging the rest of your stuff

It burrows roughly 3 metres below ground, meaning that its top speed when it dies is nearly 300m/s, or 1080km/h. The acceleration is very ridiculous, with the dying animation reaching its top speed within a fraction of a frame, meaning it surpasses 30,000m/s^2. I must say, I haven't thought of the scale of how ridiculous numbers can get in Genshin.

Every time when I watch this guy's videos, I feel like I'm in the shadow realm watching the very fabric of space and time breaks as the Abyss is unleashed throughout Teyvat.

My friends and I ended up finding our way under the ruin serpent last night and had a great time fighting it from down there, the moment after its big attack where it becomes a U and spins around is probably my favorite hidden animation. Of course, with this easier route to the underside of the map, we now have access to even more out of bounds exploration locations! Very glad for that hole in the floor.

I'd like to think that the reason of why it doesn't fall into nothingness is because some delayed attacks such as Hu Tao's mark can kill it while it's underground, and in that case, it would still be intriguing to see a giant automaton fall into the abyss, but I stand by this as a Hu Tao main, so other more popular delay attacks could also be the reason.

I just realized that the ruin serpent look like mosquito larvae

This guy totally broke the map, and I'm here for it :'D I honestly didn't know there was even animations for inside the ground?? Interesting, a large area with lots of quests... but surprisingly the update size was smaller than usual.

It seems odd that they don't just spawn it in when the fight is started instead of having the model stationary under the floor.

After hours of trying I finally made it to the inazuman sea floor today! 😂😂

So that's why this dang boss is near impossible to hit while its underground.

I was on the stream, what a journey lol. how many hours after that point it took, or did you found an alternative route?

its a shame i missed the previous out of bounds coop stream i hope u do another once a new area comes out :D

This is how u solve the lag spawn problem. Load the map and the mobs underneath the map. When they "spawn" they just go up.

Celestia will nuke this channel for revealing the secrets of the gods

bro caught lacking💀

This ruin serpent created a Resengan out of nowhere, this makes me terrified

Really cool experiments done here and the subtitles are much appreciated for someone who struggles with hearing like me!

I know the ruin serpent is meant to be scary but I can’t help but find it cute and wiggly. It just doesn’t *feel* much scary to me

So this is why my Yae turrets can still hit it burrowed, because it’s always loaded, she cheeses the fight pretty comfortably

I've seen him skyrocket out of ground with hu tao's mark while he was underground~ It's fun to see it that way too XD

the fact his amber was cracked

Wow you finally got there! I was barley in stream cause I’m klutzy and get lost easy but it was quite a fun journey!

She pisses me off by extending the battle further.

really love how you analyze genshin content. sort of like the zullie of genshn, if you know who that is.

Sadly they patched the going out of bounds in chasm map. They patched it so fast. I was really going to go there and check if new land is added after the 2.7 update because we fall down deeper

I wouldn't want that to ruin me

em-dash XD

How deep is the tunnel in the underground waterway theres a tunnel that goes from the underground water way to the deepest part of the chasm, and the tunnel keeps going downward but theres water blocking us from going further down

Thats awesome! i really have no other words wow

Ruin Serpentussy

Everything is so weird

why does it look like cyber dragon herz

Yeesss I am early :D I love your videos 🥰

So Moosashi, is it T posing or I posing?

snek

do the golden wolfff boss nextt

4:05 Very appropriate 😀

Thanks so much for sharing these! Out of bounds exploring was always something that excited me in childhood. Then, games got stricter and more patches came, no more funny CS moments, no more map knowledge, no more Kartrider fun. It felt like part of the games were missing and I eventually gave up. After that, most glitches were just internet disconnection and not really discoveries you could find in-game. So seeing you break Genshin to such an extent really sparks my love for exploring again. I hope Genshin doesn't patch them, you are doing good work. Thanks a ton for sharing your knowledge :D P.S. the serpent looks kinda cute underground NLG. Mans is just trying to rest XD

Bro when it was closer underground that jumpscared me

It is understandble why the animation underground is jarring cuz normal players never go underground. 😂 And ofcourse they could be 2 models cuz one had HP and the other is just aethetics, to prevent player to kill it before it even get into surface. This technique is also applied to other games. I love this vid cuz it is like exploring their work of how do they make the game optimized despite the world is massive which is as far as I know as a Skyrim modder the draw distance is quite an issue in performance, same thing as Kenshi which is also open world sandbox game where the longer you explore the more it took a lot of your memory process which is why performance optimization mods exist. But in Genshin it never became my issue, it is more incourage me instead to mod it to make it more high res instead but ofcourse I'll be banned if will touch the game files. Thanks for the effort of analyzing the game cuz people like me are too lazy to do that. 😆👍

i sure hope that serpent doesn't ruin me

Everyone being smart af in the comments while me pretending I know what they're saying

funny how you say, this is the ruin serpent off camera, but this is on camera very suspicious

now i understand why they didn't put them in spiral abyss

NOT THE EM-DASH POSE 😭

GIVE THE SERPENT A BREAK, SHOW SOME PRIVACY!

Whoa I've never seen out of bound Genshin content! Some questions, though: can you reach Celestia? Is there a real 3d structure up there? I always wonder if that's a random jpg they stick up in the sky.

This is so fascinating to see 👀👀

interesting idea , it like silent hill , developer never intent to make its foggy town but due to limitation and stuff , they decide to make it excuse it was foggy town to reduce whatever it called...idk rendering?

your narration is impeccable. I just love to hear you talk

I wonder how the Lephantis looks like underground.

More like a mosquito larvae

Very intriguing

this is so cool!

“What in the world is it even doing” HIS BEST, OKAY? 🥹
