#3.3 All Senses Clear All Existence Void

[dourpeep]

I don't know if you've done the interlude yet but oh my god??????? I was not prepared????? They made me like Scara and I'm ready to fight for this funky lil dude now. Hope you're doing well in any case!

YES I just finished it!

I'll put my thoughts below on this matter--warning, 3.3 interlude spoilers below!

Though this wasn't what I expected, I do like this approach quite a bit. While it's not the "once bad, always bad" thing that some people (my sibling) was expecting, I think that this was the best approach to the subject of the Wanderer 'turning' good, or at least in the sense of being a playable character and no longer the antagonist.

Although he had erased his existence that lead to him going down the path of Scaramouche--meeting and befriending Niwa, holding the burden of taking the device into the Mikage Furnace, the child from Tatarasuna, the three betrayals--as well as his experiences as the 6th Harbinger, he still isn't a bad person. And even though he himself didn't remember what happened until gaining his memories and emotions from before back, he was going through his own retribution.

So even though no one besides the Traveler, Paimon, Lesser Lord Kusanali, and himself remember who he was, he must continue on with the reminder of what he has done as well as the residual guilt. To hold that heavy of a burden, to know that despite everything you did that nothing really changed is his own punishment for himself.

Also not to mention the implications that his dear friends suffered without him now. While Niwa's situation isn't so much changed, the child's has been and part of me wonders if he realizes that as well.

After all, the child was living alone with some help now and then from neighbors until Scaramouche came along. If anything, that meant that the little boy had the comfort of a friend and a family after losing so much before his inevitable death.

Then going off that, he technically didn't go off scot free like it's assumed since he is insistent that he takes the fall for what happened with the Raiden Gokaden. I think that's a pretty significant thing.

ALSO ALSO I like that he's still not a good person. He understands that he fucked up and that he was a bad person and the Traveler, while they have a sort of shaky friendship with him now, but they don't consider him to be a good person, just changed. Or perhaps, he's now really accepted himself to be who he is instead of running from it. I mean, we can see that he's still just as abrasive as ever from his voicelines, though with a little bit of a softer edge.

I think that might just be because he's letting the Traveler in.

The promise of some sort of friendship where he is judged not for how he pretends to be, but for who he is and was seems to be right up his alley as being desirable. That whole bit of playfulness--the "You won't need to run into me again until you (Paimon) comes up with an ugly nickname"?

Anyway I'm a sentimental fool who has a sentimental attachment to the Wanderer and his lore because he's what really sparked my interest in writing again after nearly a decade ehe

I got off topic, hopefully this all provides a little insight into my thoughts, as messy as it may be nodnod

INVERSION OF GENESIS ✧ THE WANDERER RECEIVES HIS VISION

[stainedglassthreads]

One of my most hated things is when a character killing themself is presented as ‘the correct and proper choice for them to make’. If they don’t want to do it, but choose to do so for the greater good, then I’m not a fan but I can deal. But if they’ve shown immense self-loathing, or self-destructive tendencies, or if everything’s better not because they did something that required a sacrifice, but specifically because they died... I don’t like it. It makes me really uncomfortable. 

That’s why one of my favorite themes in Undertale is how self-sacrifice only ever makes things worse. Chara’s suicide caused the death of their brother and the destruction of their parents’ marriage. Alphys’ self-destructive behavior keeps the Amalgamates apart from their families. Asgore’s suicide means that the Souls are all gone and the Barrier’s still up. Monsterkind may have a better opinion on humans, but it’s thanks to Frisk’s actions, not his own. Monsterkind’s progress on someday leaving their imprisonment is set back to zero, almost completely. 

So I’m... actually pretty happy with how Scaramouche/Wanderer’s Interlude played out. 

It’s not stated explicitly why Wanderer tried to erase himself from Irminsul, but it’s implied some strong guilt, self-loathing, and a desire to right a wrong he committed was at play. Maybe he felt he was to blame for the Tatarasuna Incident. Most likely he felt the Gokaden families he killed no longer deserved to be the recipients of his vengeance. But when he does erase himself and seek annihilation... nothing changes. And a sizable portion of the quest is devoted to illustrating for us how nothing really changes. 

The Tatarasuna Incident still happened. Niwa still died. Il Dottore was still behind it. The Raiden Gokaden were still nearly annihilated. The Lord and Lady Kamisato still died young, leaving the clan in the hands of Ayato and Ayaka. The Kaedehara Clan still fell apart, leaving Kazuha as a drifter who only recently began reviving the Isshin Arts. The Akademiya still tried to create a new god of wisdom, using a big robot. 

The only thing that changed was that no one remembered the being once known as Scaramouche had been connected to these events, once upon a time. He got to wash his hands of it all. ‘Scaramouche’ died, only in memory. And that seems to be what deleting yourself from Irminsul does. Kills your memory, but everything you did, still happened. The blame just gets shifted around a little. The perspective changes slightly. Rukkhadevata’s actions are all attributed to Kusanali now, which isn’t completely wrong. The Tatarasuna Incident is pinned on Il Dottore’s disguise, which also isn’t wrong. 

And so things aren’t really better. Just a little different. Things aren’t even better for the empty and purposelessness Wanderer. Rather than ‘killing’ Scaramouche and embracing his completely consequenceless life, he embraces his memories, his sins... and is now a slightly more mature ‘Scaramouche’. Now fully cognizant of the truths of his life, the ways he was manipulated, and the way that erasing himself is impossible and solves nothing. He’s no longer ‘Scaramouche’, not completely, but he is someone trying to grow from the ashes of ‘Scaramouche’, beginning with more positive relationships rooted in something he can understand and trust-- transactions. 

So. Yeah. Wanderer not only fails to kill himself. He’s shown that killing himself would have never achieved what he wanted. Would have never improved everything and made amends. Only living and working to make amends can do that. He had a blank slate, and still chooses to try and do better-- a smidge of exile, burnt bridges, and world-shattering truth certainly pushed him along this path, but. He’s getting better.

II. New Characters

5-Star Character "Eons Adrift" Wanderer (Anemo)

◇ Vision: Anemo

◇ Weapon: Catalyst

◇ A wayfaring figure whose identity is a mystery. He dresses like a mountain ascetic, but he certainly does not act the part.

◆ Elemental Skill "Hanega: Song of the Wind"

◆ Deals AoE Anemo DMG before leaping into the air and entering the Windfavored state. In this state, the Wanderer is unable to use Plunging Attacks, and his Normal and Charged Attacks are converted to Kuugo: Fushoudan and Kuugo: Toufukai. The DMG they deal and their AoE will be increased, and their DMG will be considered Normal and Charged Attack DMG respectively. The Wanderer will hover persistently during this time. Consume Kuugoryoku Points to maintain this hovering state, move and sprint mid-air, and increase hovering height. Running out of Kuugoryoku Points or casting the Elemental Skill again while in this state will end the Windfavored state.

◆ Elemental Burst "Kyougen: Five Ceremonial Plays"

◆ Deals multiple instances of AoE Anemo DMG. If the character is in the Windfavored state due to the skill "Hanega: Song of the Wind," Windfavored state will end after casting.

4-Star Character "Enigmatic Machinist" Faruzan (Anemo)

◇ Vision: Anemo

◇ Weapon: Bow

◇ A researcher from "one hundred years ago." She enjoys self-identifying as everyone's senior, and has significant knowledge of ancient scripts and machines of all kinds.

◆ Elemental Skill "Wind Realm of Nasamjnin"

◆ Deploys a polyhedron that deals AoE Anemo DMG to nearby opponents. She will also enter the Manifest Gale state. While in the Manifest Gale state, Faruzan's next fully charged shot will consume this state and will become a Hurricane Arrow that contains high-pressure currents. This arrow deals Anemo DMG based on the DMG of a fully charged Aimed Shot from "Normal Attack: Parthian Shot." The Hurricane Arrow will apply a Pressurized Collapse effect to the opponent or character hit. This effect will be removed after a short delay, creating a vortex that deals AoE Anemo DMG and pulls nearby objects and opponents in. If the Hurricane Arrow does not hit any opponent or character, it will create a Pressurized Collapse effect at its point of impact.

◆ Elemental Burst "The Wind's Secret Ways"

◆ Deploys a Dazzling Polyhedron that unleashes a Whirlwind Pulse and deals AoE Anemo DMG. While the Dazzling Polyhedron persists, it will continuously move along a triangular path. Once it reaches each corner of that triangular path, it will unleash 1 more Whirlwind Pulse. When the Whirlwind Pulse is unleashed, it will apply Perfidious Wind's Bale to nearby opponents, decreasing their Anemo RES. The Whirlwind Pulse will also apply Prayerful Wind's Benefit to all nearby party members when it is unleashed, granting them an Anemo DMG Bonus.

III. New Domain

Domain of Blessing: City of Gold

◇ This stronghold, once protected by seven mighty battlements, crumbled overnight when King Deshret fell and an age of chaos ensued. Where gold-eyed warriors once stood guard over watchtowers of gilded luster, now, only a desiccated temple built upon sundered rocks remains, more akin to a tomb for an age of radiance long lost.

◇ Unlock Criteria:

• Reach Adventure Rank 22 or above

• Or complete the Archon Quest "Prologue: Act III - Song of the Dragon and Freedom"

◆ Challenge the Domain to obtain artifacts in the "Desert Pavilion Chronicle" and "Flower of Paradise Lost" sets.

IV. New Equipment

1. New Weapons

Tulaytullah's Remembrance (5-Star Catalyst)

Normal Attack SPD is increased by 10%. After the wielder unleashes an Elemental Skill, Normal Attack DMG will increase by 4.8% every second for 14s. After this character hits an opponent with a Normal Attack during this duration, Normal Attack DMG will be increased by 9.6%. This increase can be triggered once every 0.3s. The maximum Normal Attack DMG increase per single duration of the overall effect is 48%. The effect will be removed when the wielder leaves the field, and using the Elemental Skill again will reset all DMG buffs.

◆ During the event wish "Epitome Invocation," the event-exclusive 5-star weapon Tulaytullah's Remembrance (Catalyst) will receive a huge drop-rate boost!

Toukabou Shigure (4-Star Sword)

After an attack hits opponents, it will inflict an instance of Cursed Parasol upon one of them for 10s. This effect can be triggered once every 15s. If this opponent is taken out during Cursed Parasol's duration, Cursed Parasol's CD will be refreshed immediately. The character wielding this weapon will deal 16% more DMG to the opponent affected by Cursed Parasol.

◆ Toukabou Shigure (Sword) and its refinement materials can be redeemed in the event "Akitsu Kimodameshi."

2. New Artifacts

Desert Pavilion Chronicle (4-Star and 5-Star)

◇ 2-Piece Set: Increased Anemo DMG Bonus.

◇ 4-Piece Set: When Charged Attacks hit opponents, the equipping character's Normal Attack SPD will increase by 10% while Normal, Charged, and Plunging Attack DMG will increase by 40% for 15s.

Flower of Paradise Lost (4-Star and 5-Star)

◇ 2-Piece Set: Increased Elemental Mastery.

◇4-Piece Set: The equipping character's Bloom, Hyperbloom, and Burgeon reaction DMG are increased by 40%. Additionally, after the equipping character triggers Bloom, Hyperbloom, or Burgeon, they will gain another 25% bonus to the effect mentioned prior. Each stack of this lasts 10s. Max 4 stacks simultaneously. This effect can only be triggered once per second. The character who equips this can still trigger its effects when not on the field.

V. New Main Story

1. New Archon Quest

Archon Quest Interlude Chapter: Act III "Inversion of Genesis"

◆ Quest Unlock Criteria

• Reach Adventure Rank 40 or above

• Complete Archon Quest Chapter III: Act V "Akasha Pulses, the Kalpa Flame Rises"

version 3.3 "all senses clear, all existence void" trailer ☆ the wanderer

[dourpeep]

I'm at work rn but I just want to point out

It's very important to note that the Wanderer did not delete himself from existence as Scaramouche, he just rewrote/erased his existence that led him to be who he was before.

It's why he still exists and why his story ended up still going along the lines of being a wanderer from Inazuma who ultimately ended up in Sumeru the same time that he was in Sumeru in the true timeline!! Just like what happened with Greater Lord Rukkhadevata—she no longer exists as Greater Lord Rukkhadevata but that didn't undo anything she did, just how it happened and who did what.

Which is much much more fun than the usual idea of the butterfly effect nodnod muchore sobering too if you ask me

Tl;dr, the reason why Wander reacted the way after finding out what he did didn't change anything is because the realization that no matter what is done is done. So all that can be done now is to move forward from your past mistakes and wrongdoings

Also unrelated but I like the new dynamic between him and the Traveler

I'll come back later and finish this thing/polish it maybe

[atimefordragons]

undefined

is there a way to get this tattooed on my brain???? 

[stainedglassthreads]

I adore your take on the scaramouche 3.3 questline! I was just wondering what your opinion on the cutscene was when he was reaching for a his own hand and then was grabbed also by himself. In the english version he talks about purging worthlessness, but in chinese it is about worthless things not breaking/being broken. This change is interesting and shifts the meaning of the scene imo... (1/?)

(2/?) At first I thought the part grabbing onto him was what he had wanted to leave behind but then realized he couldn't. Yet that doesn't make sense in the context of the scene and definitely not in the chinese version. Then I thought it was him wanting to drag his broken mind together, and perhaps not realizing that other part of himself was there as he did look shocked when he was grabbed, but that grabbing was also what drew him out and made him realize his ambition...

(3/3) idk, maybe im just overthinking the entire scene, but i adore this questline and his character a lot, and want to decode it, and seeing as i really enjoyed your deconstruction of the plot, i thought i'd ask your thoughts... (of course there is also the comparison to that one famous painting of god handing over wisdom, but i haven't thought about that parallel enough to make a proper connection...)

There was this short story I had to read in school once, when I was much, much, much younger. Maybe around 10? It was a short piece about a little girl, but there was this one piece of it that's kind of stuck with me, about how aging. And which has, funnily enough, rung true for me more and more every year since I was an adult. It talked about how when you turn a certain age, you're not just this age. Even once you're 30, there's also a 22 year old, a 17 year old, a 10 year old, and a 3 year old all inside of you, wanting to react in the ways they would normally react. Rather than having a birthday and suddenly being A Year Older And Wiser, I feel like aging is more... slowly wrapping one year around the others and calling the accumulation of them all whatever year you are. 

We'll come back to that concept.

In my analysis, I talked a bit about how Scaramouche's reasons for wanting to destroy himself were never clearly stated, but the events and his words immediately preceding said instance gives us a couple of options for why he did so. I think it's a similar concept here.

Maybe he was trying to piece his mind back together, and suddenly realized his old self had to come along too, like it or not, as you said. There were a few other thoughts that came to my mind.

The thing that originally came to mind when I watched that scene for the very first time was... it kinda looked like Scaramouche was hanging onto Wanderer for dear life. Like in those scenes in movies and books where a character is kept from falling off a cliff only by another character holding their hand, and the one holding onto them has to convince them to climb back up. Scaramouche wanted to annihilate himself, but Wanderer wants to embrace his sins and purpose. Wanderer needs to accept Scaramouche and bring him back-- convince him to climb back on top of the cliff in order to protect the Traveller and Paimon.

Another thought I had, tying back to the dialogue in the cutscene, is. Perhaps it was about Wanderer recognizing what others thought of Scaramouche, recognizing what Scaramouche thought of himself, and then seeing himself as he truly is for the first time.

Paimon and the Traveller are, for obvious reasons, the 'moral heart' of Genshin Impact. Paimon tends to be more compassionate and empathetic, while the Traveller tends to be more vengeful and grudging. But those two's reactions to characters seem to usually be what the game wants us to think of those characters. And at one point during the quest, Paimon feels confused because Scaramouche was a really bad person, but she doesn't feel he deserved to be completely erased from history.

Scaramouche was awful. Wanderer can see that clearly, from what everyone told him about his past incarnation. Maybe at first he, too, sees Scaramouche as 'a worthless thing to be disposed of,' like he perceived so many others as going. Or maybe he just saw himself as a 'worthless and broken thing', after all the trauma he went through.

But seeing Scaramouche clinging onto him, REALLY seeing him, maybe he also realizes that that part of him is... still there. No matter how he feels about what he did and who he is, that person is a part of him which cannot be disposed of.

Which ties into a related idea he had. Scaramouche had a blank slate, forever cut off from Inazuma and the Fatui, and he didn't take it. He shuns his past names, but embraces his memories and sins. And when he wakes up again, in many ways he is and isn't the same Scaramouche. He's working with Nahida and the Traveller, but understands it as a transactional relationship because he's 'useful' to them.

He's turning over a new leaf. But he's not a new person. He's building off of who 'Scaramouche' was to become something new. Scaramouche will always 'be there'. A shadow, an echo. But as Nahida said, someday the future as the Wanderer will be much longer and bigger as the past where he was 'Scaramouche' and 'Kunikuzushi'.

He 500 years old and has a new name now, and a long future ahead of him of trying to do and be someone new. But there'll always be the cruel, arrogant, self-loathing, vengeful, broken puppet inside of him. And inside of that there will always be the young kitten who wanted to belong. But he can wrap the Wanderer around that, and keeping wrapping his next years around it again and again. 

That's what I felt like the cutscene was trying to convey. But I think people will all have their own interpretations of it.

And thank you so much for sending me this ask, it was a really fun subject to talk about! I was never a huge fan of Scara, but I really enjoyed this Interlude. ^^
