Genshin Impact Lore & Theories

Currently Playing: [4.0] Dottore was in Fontaine - A Genshin Impact Theory

Spoiler warning - Please complete Acts 1 and 2 of Chapter 4 as well as the Narzissenkruez Institute World Quest before watching. Dottore's a confusing little dude. He started out as some comical Joker-esque villain in the Genshin Manga and mysteriously transformed into a dapper daddy with a choker in game. I think some information we learned in Fontaine can not only explain this transformation, but could tell us a little bit more about what to expect in later acts of Chapter 4. **CREDITS** Video editing by QueerBunny Productions: https://queerbunnyedits.com/ **SPOILER WARNINGS** - Archon Quest Chapter 4, acts 1-4 - Ann of the Narzissenkreuz - Ancient Colors - Neuvillette Story Quest (1) - Aqueous Tidemarks - Khvarena of Good and Evil - Golden Slumber - Dirge of Bilqis **TIMESTAMPS** 0:00 Intro 1:15 What We Know 4:40 Phantom of the Opera 09:10 Oceanids 11:20 Narzissenkruez 19:24 Evangelion 22:05 Rebirth 25:30 Closing Thoughts **FURTHER READING** This section is a combination of citations and terms/topics that came up during the video alongside their wikipedia articles (or similar related sources) which should help get you started when doing your own research.
