Version 4.3 was a bit of a filler patch, but that doesn't mean there weren't enjoyable parts! Lots of overlapping narrative themes, plus a few little easter eggs here and there to munch on.

![[4.0] Archon & World Quest Recap and Analysis - Genshin Impact](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/jzENIVuvK2Q/mqdefault.jpg "[4.0] Archon & World Quest Recap and Analysis - Genshin Impact
This video covers Acts One and Two of Light Rain Falls Without Reason, the Narzissenkruez Institute World Quest and the Melusine World Quest. It also references Lyneys first story quest and a couple of exploration objectives available as of version 4.0.
These recaps are concise as the video primarily focuses on what we learned from the quests rather than going over exactly what happened. Please dont expect a lot of mind bendy theorizing in this video - while there are some mini theories towards the end of the video, most of the topics I want to theorize are will get their own dedicated videos, so dont fret if theres something not covered here. Chances are itll show up in a future video.

Ive pitched a lot of different ideas about how Teyvat could be structured, but Ive never really talked about how it was MADE - and the combination Simulanka and Natlan really got me interested in Teyvats early years, so I thought now would be a great time to turn back the clocks and see if we cant unravel Teyvats GREATEST mystery: its Genesis.
...Oh, and maybe well talk about Irmin and Zhongli. Maybe.
