š“ (6.0) Nod Krai (Act 2) 8.3/10
Yeah, this quest was a nice continuation, but a little slow also. Instead of by fixing a canon. A canon thatās used to fiend off the Bad kuuvahki. Apparently we do the maintenance, guessing to get our feet with because thatās basically Aino job. And yes, we have child labor Nod Krai. She works for snacks not money. Her snacks are deducted or rewarded based off of whatever she does. From Inetta, which is a bit concerning. We successfully fix the canon and go ahead to Nefer, to ask for a favor, but she also has a favor for us. Taking advantage of our kindness. By helping her go to a bar to serve drinks for Intel. Piamon and the traveler were shockingly drinking alcohol and didnāt get drunk. Had me cracking up laughing. They bring back the Starbucks event which had me excited until I found out the amount of flavors they had to offer was minimum. Nod Kari folks are getting worried about the canon, we didnāt make our way back to Lauma, who gives an interesting inside on a shooting star, which is basically our spaceship. š which kind of makes you rethink the beginning scene of Genshin when you see two shooting stars. The traveler uses his vessel to seal the moon relic for the time being. So wants we see Damselette, she already said, recognized it, and we give her some of the power to recover because sheās getting weaker. Interpreting that she might be dying. Giving us more insight on our spaceship. It has decayed. Our sister woke up first and was trying to wake us up. So I was a bit confused on the timelines because it decayed when she came back. Not really sure what exactly happened here. All I wanna know is my theory true, sheās really actually dead. I will definitely be fine with that if thatās the case. Turning the story into a tragedy. š
we then fall into a murder mystery. Where the guy that was helping us with the canon was found murdered. A witness, claims to have spotted Flin exiting the house where the victim was murdered. So itās all eyes on Flin. We end up finding him fighting Rerir, and what a spectacle. Apparently heās only fighting what looks to be his ghostly form. Iām not quite sure what his plan is. It wasnāt really clear and the things he was saying didnāt really make sense. But he was the reason why we were seeing our sister. So Iām guessing he wants the moon relic. Not the Fatui. Flins lantern is then corrupted, the wild fighting took place. The traveler ended up curing the lantern. Shocking Rerir, guessing he didnāt know we had such ability of the abyss. And he basically fled. The abilities that we displayed made Flin curious and interested in what we are. As Flin has a lack of understanding of abyssal power. He claims that heās been fighting Rerir a couple of times and winning, but restricted because of the lantern. Leaving to every encounter Rerir getting stronger and stronger. And that he can shape shift which we already found out when he changed into our sister. Which is kind of ironic that he was able to act kind of like her. If we take with the sister said he even knows about the traveler. So this makes him quite interesting. He goes into the story of Rerir which is a little confusing. Nonetheless, we go and continue to investigate the body. That was just left there. They didnāt remove it yet. Not even a sheet to cover the body. A clue emerges that his arm is still operating. Giving off that the mechanic we were dealing with was not the same guy. So we go and find the mechanic for his arm. Hinata. Giving us the rundown on the procedure he did that. He kind of just rushed the parts in order to get the mechanic back working. Skipping ahead because this review was already long as it is we end up finding him in a mist. Not exactly sure why we needed to investigate. This section of the quest is pretty slow and it kind of ruins the pacing. All we kind of just needed to do was find a kuuvahki purple mist I presume. his master plan was to make the towns people feel hopeless, even with the canon, thatās supposed to stop the wild hunt. But the cannon supposedly gives this dude power. And he wants to tell folks to fire the cannon into the wild hunt. Kuuvqhki I may digress. He then claiming that his corpse is the Kuuvqhki mist. I figured. Still donāt really know his main goal. I guess weāll find out later. Rerir is one of five sinners. Iām guessing this is a group of the same kind as Rerir. And the lantern Flin has is the heart of Rerir. Piss off, We cut to the other party where theyāre trying to stop the cannon. But the towns folks wonāt let them. Did they have to sneak around it. To where they successfully did. Thanks to Ineffa lifting the cannon up. Missing the wild hunt, but barely hitting it and that barely helped Rerir reborn into a human body. Rerir heās pissed off at his new body because itās only 10% of his actual power. And of course, he still fights us. Until, the seventh Heringer arrives Mariuntte. Her mechanical man starts fighting Rerir it is an epic showing until the mechanical man starts losing. Thatās right 10% of Rerir is enough to beat the seventh Heringer. Marionette claims that she wouldāve beaten him if it wasnāt for Damselette. Right when they were about to be beaten they were teleported. Marionette starts going off on Damselette. Exploiting that thereās a Fatui warrant on her head. If sheās the third strongest, what do they think they can do? Lol not knowing that sheās getting weaker though. Marionette storms off and lets her go. Rerir is still in the wild. It didnāt seem like we were teleported too far from where he was. Somehow Damselette claim somehow heās no longer threat for now. I guess he just switched to being weaker once we were teleported the way. Doesnāt really make sense, but Iām gonna go along with it. And thatās basically the quest. After sometime, we do catch up with Damselette it gives us more insight on our spaceship. She talks a little bit about Sincenza, but not revealing too much of course. And thatās pretty much the quest. It was pretty long, but I didnāt really feel it. I liked act one a bit better because it was more about the traveler. It felt more connected to him while growing the world. This act felt more like the characters within the nation, and Iām fine with that, but I also like progression in the story and act one felt more progression despite it being not real, it did raise some questions and theories. By far, this is the best introduction quests weāve had so far.

š“(6.0) Nod Krai (Act 1) 8.5/10
This was pretty good introduction to the nation, it starts off, kind of slow. But not painstakingly slow like Inazuma. We kinda get to know the way of life of the Nod krai people stumbling across countless characters, Marionette meet us were katheryne normally greets us, making sure that we stay out of her way that thereās no leaders here. Already kind of revealing that sheās the bad guy off the bat. Threatening us, and itās kinda nice to see one of the Futai harbingerās lean back into that villain role again. As we havenāt seen it in a while. Not saying they all should be cartoony bad, they donāt over tire that trope. So then Ineffa is basically our tour guy. Itās kind of boring to listen to because you know itās Ineffa. But eventually, she leads us back to her home where sheās watching a lolly. Aino, apparently they pay her through snacks not money, so they make her do child labor. Threatening to take away snacks if she doesnāt cooperate. Kind of shows how poor Nod Krai kinda is. We go to someplace called the moon Shores where we properly meet Lauma. An outsider. Who is an animal, lover and speaker. Sheās in a group called the frostmoon scions, iām not exactly sure what they really do. I do know that they pray to a false God, but they donāt know that yet. Lauma actually figured it out. And knows about the false sky and that everything is kind of just fake. So the traveler goes on an adventure on his own finding Damselette, nothing exactly really happens. Sheās kind of just spaced out. Giving vague answers. Not necessarily engaged, and this is a pretty interesting character dynamic she doesnāt exactly throw information that you like I thought. They kind of let her be a character first. Which I really like Genshin should do more of that. Let the character be the character first and then let them talk. We leave because thereās nothing really we can get out of her at the moment and we find our sister. Would you look at that, as soon as I saw her, I already knew this is way too easy, you mean to tell me after five years we just casually meet, but as time went by and the more I started believing oh weāre actually with our sister. She was acting just as vague the last time we saw her, so it wasnāt really out of character from what we know. She brings us to a cave where we go through trials and tribulations with her for the first time as sheās kind of acting weird, but Iām kind of ignoring it because Iām just enjoying their bonding. Challenging the traveler just like how siblings do. She leads us to a moon relic, where she wants us to get it. A dust of cloud comes up and separates us. The traveler I guess tries to follow her outside the temple where Flins is there instead. Wondering how the conversation will go if he ever meets a surgeon funeral director.
Anyways, the traveler is now back at the hotel, not paying by the way. In stumbles across a couple of folks talking about the missing moon relic, and I thought to myself OK Genshin is cooking. Kind of making the traveler a bad guy. I instantly thought that sister took it. And because we have such a connection to the moon apparently. She used us to get to it. That was my theory at the time. Lauma figured it was the Fatui. Am I just like how the traveler is reacting to what he did that and how he eventually just fesses up just shows character. Lauma still insists that itās the Fatui an asks her friend Nefer for assistance. Nefer makes it clear that she doesnāt want to help her group. And she has it kind of realism to her that I kinda like itās not unrealistic realism is kind of just realism. But she ends up, giving in and calls on her assistant who she fires off the bat. Probably wasnāt even getting paid anyway. Lauma offered Jahoda a monthly animal pass. Didnāt directly tell her, but you get the gist. Jadoda is also a good character, expressions on her face. Yeah we need more of that. Sheās a bit too goofy for my liking, but sheās tolerable. As we wait to infiltrate the Fatui factory, we take a trip back to Damselette, where we offer her food. Where she kind of reveals that she just stopped being a goddess. The burden of not being able to give any longer. And joined the the Fatui harbinger where she is the third strongest. Not exactly sure why she joined them. She kind of just hinted that they see eye to eye. Feeling that she left them and that they were using here power. She want to go back to moon she saids. Not sure what that really means, but the sky is fake. š¤
We leave and get ready to go to the factory where we meet up with Lauma. I guess sheās gonna be our eye of the sky because she doesnāt go in with us. Jadoda helps us get through. Until eventually, we find out one of Lauma moonshine members has been working with the Fatui. Everybody is joining the Fatui. If I had a nickel for every time we seen a character join the very thing they despise or has been fighting. And thatās basically act one. Marionette just casually, gives back the moon relic surprisingly. It goes on about her day. She kinda has an attitude to her. Lauma goes back to confess to her people that everything has they have been doing has been a lie all fake. And that pretty much wraps up act one. A pretty solid introduction. It leaves you wanting more. šš¾ yeah the whole time his sister was fake. And that was kind of a letdown for me. I wanted to see where they could possibly take this but instead, it was just a simple mind foolery. In order to achieve the moon artifact.
I do like my theory about the sister that I came up with during stream that this whole time sheās dead and weāre just retracing her pass.

No character really stands out to me, Flins and Damselatte is probably the only two, Damselatte is in the picture with the archons?
Here are the redeemer codes, stay blessed
