How do Mondstadt’s Archon Quests stack up now that we’re five years in?
The price of immortality: youtube.com/watch?v=dhB71ByDLtQ&list=PL9ZYbPkYPaHPKf8VMpUmv3FwURBFoFJem
For a long time I’ve been tempted to experience it all over again, especially with Snezhnaya just around the corner.
After the Homeward event in version 6.4 brought such nostalgia for those early days, followed by the all-too-brief joy of exploring Dornman Port, I decided to see if Mondstadt might hit different now, with all the extra context I’ve picked up over the years.
This has been long overdue!
