Arlecchino "The Knave" Complete Backstory & Lore! Story Quest Explained - Genshin Impact 4.6

Hope you enjoyed the lore video Jean is next!

Hard to believe that we are year & half away from getting to Snezhnaya. I can’t wait until we finally get to meet The Tsaritsa, The Jester & The Rooster

Lets also not forget the rooster (and possibly pantalone) is the one spreading these rumors lol (and most likely told all of this to childe which he later realized from the story quest that they were lies) a true politician at heart the old man is 😂💀

I can't wait to see how we will interact with Capitano in Natlan, he is the immovable object and we're nothing compared to him. I really like the path they're taking with how powerful the top harbingers are.

I actually think that Arlecchino has no problem with the cryo archon, I dont think she sees being a harbinger as a punishment because it looks like she wanted (or at least is happy) to be the director of the house of the heart, she also respects the tsaritsa at the highest degree she can give, I only think that she is distrustful with everybody because of her position as father/protector of her children and this makes her get enemies in al places

I can honestly see Arlecchino taking on Columbina or Dottore, sure they are a big higher than her, but she is fighting for her freedom and her children, and Columbina might be less evil than the others.

the whole house of the hearth reminds me of the promised Neverland, especially the "mother" and the children wanting to escape. spoiler: and the experiments on the kids

Big dawg if Arlecchino said that we’re not strong enough to take on the “Wolf” or “Crazy self” then just IMAGINE what would happen if we were to face The CAPTAIN, Selfish/Greedy Dottore AND Columbina when we show up to Natlan and another thing when Arlecchino said that Sandrone doesn’t appear in public then it would explain WHY we haven’t seen her every since we showed up to Fontaine and considering we’re leaving for Natlan soon then I wouldn’t be surprised if we’d see her in like Snezyaha where The Rooster the Regrater AND Pierro are at

Nope. Clervie is dead when she received her vision. So she have three sources of power at least: The Crimson Dynasty power in her blood, her vision, and a delusion. To those who point out that Arlecchino's vision encasing is from Snezhnaya—if you see her boss second phase and that tiny timeframe where we see her back in her Story Quest cutscene, the element icon in the vision becomes a fatui insignia— "delusion". Perhaps she keeps her original vision somewhere in her person, probably in her breast pocket like she did before. As mentioned in her character stories (entitled: Vision) and in her story quest (through Freminet) that there was at least a 1-year timeframe before she decides to kill Crucabena. I assume it was implied that she decided to go with Crucabena's "Final Preparation/Grooming of the King" after the "Selection of the King" (battle royale we see in her short anime) while she silently gauge her capabilities against Crucabena. (Or if I'm wrong, she went AWOL and trained by herself in that one year—but personally, I don't think "Mother" will let her get away just yet and it's impractical in Peruere's position to not know your enemy best when gauging how you deal with them if she really had gone AWOL. Plus—Crucabena in the short anime tries to persuade Peruere to let her "guide" her. Idk maybe I'm stretching it a little bit, but I digress). So she was mulling over her plan to assassinate "Mother" and of course, she knew well that everything she learned was taught by "Mother", but she swore not to give up. Until one night she received the vision without a warning (dunno where was it it wasn't even mentioned) and she placed it hidden in her chest before she faced Crucabena. This is the line: 『 She merely concealed the Vision in the place closest to her heart before sending "Mother" a "pleasant little surprise." 』 Now we know why her flames in the animated short have color differences. And yeah that's pretty much it 😅😅

the thing that has me pondering the most is how we the traveler knew what the Crimson moon was and how it affected us and we could not move .. and why does the crimson moon hold this power over us ... and does this moon affect our sibling too seeing this power leave me to believe that the top 4 harbingers would easily dominate any of the Archons in a battle ..But I need more explanation on how we knew what the Crimson moon was and why it affected us like this ........... and is the Taratas just a puppet to the Peirro

Traveler needs that anime training arc

The only thing that I didn't like about her story is that Aether didn't raise his power level, it felt really bad to lose the fight, if we can't beat her how will we deal with the higher ranked Harbingers? not to mention other even more powerful beings. Aether needs to start his daily routine of 100 daily push-ups, sit-ups and squats, plus 10 km daily running. Let's just hope he doesn't become bald lol.

I honestly loved the route they took for this harbinger feels like robbery that signora the only one that isnt playable tho

A wolf in sheep's clothing. Arlecchino: A sheep in wolf's clothing.

"grooming" somebody to be king is a crazyy statement man lmfao

Another amazing lore video❤❤

Arlecchino’s pyro vision isn’t of the same look as other Fontainian characters visions.I think she got her vision in Snezhnaya.

I feel like there's definitely some sort of connection between Arlecchino and Raiden Ei because the Crimson moon appears in Ei's Plane of Euthymia and near the end of the Arle boss fight when she peers into the Traveller's eyes with her power and activates a sort of domain where the Traveller is unable to move but can clearly see the Crimson Moon behind her. The eye symbolism is strong with both Arlecchino and Ei. Also, Arlecchino has that singular wing in her held charged attack movement animation and during the boss fight she first shows two wings that break out into spider limbs later. Ei brought the statue of the Omnipresent God to Inazuma and it was used to inlay the stolen visions and its other name has "Hundred Eyed" mentioned in it which puts heavy emphasis on eyes; what else does the statue have? WINGS. The statue is supposedly modelled after Istaroth (the God of Time, theorized to be one of the moon sisters and one of the four shining shades of the Primordial One) who was mainly worshipped by the people of Enkanomiya before their focus shifted towards Orobashi (and it seems that Ei prefers Istaroth over Orobashi as she clearly believes in their power as seen in the time distortion that happened in her 2nd Story Quest). Both Enkanomiya and Khaenriah are forgotten lands. Istaroth was also worshipped in Monstadt which is why that huge statue in Monstadt exists and one of their names is something along the lines of "Winds of Time" which goes well with the Anemo/Venti theme. Side Note: Monstadt clearly has some secret that we dont' know about yet and Venti still not having a 2nd quest is just sus. Some things, or as in this case some places and Gods are forgotten with time but eventually they will be reborn or simply reveal themselves.

such a great story quest cant wai to see this!

Hoyo should hire you to voice man
