Snezhnaya: The Land of Broken Hearts and Frozen Tears (SPOILERS)
Verse of the Day:
Psalms 100:5
For the Lord is good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all generations.
WARNING: SPOILERS INVOLVED!!!!
Okay, so this blog post is going to serve as my emotional support group for anyone who’s reached at least 60% exploration of Snezhnaya and has realized that it is all…..a very tragic place :’)…..if I’m talking to you, join me on this journey, and know that I’m with you and I understand! Get your tissue boxes out and let's cry about these four absolutely heart wrenching quests that left me questioning my excitement for what is left to be unraveled about this frozen asylum of love and loss.
A Great Heart Fettered by Slender Chains, Like a Labyrinth Imprisons Her Servants, and The Soft Song She Sang: Addressing the Giant in the Room
Yes, I’m talking about the big chained up frozen guy who I thought was going to be an epic boss battle….turning out to be the reason I was up crying at 2 a.m…..Hoyo….whhhyyyy!? To have this come with an accomplishment called, “The Iceberg Sinks, Never to Rise Again…” is diabolical! Did I mention you can actually see the light house from other nations :’) ???? I can’t stop thinking about watching the ice giant walking into the waters and looking back at the woman…forever frozen in his memories ... .yeah, I’m crying again.
“In The Tranquility of Cycles” The third and final part of the Chulkaturin quest
We had no choice but to leave it to drown!? Are we serious??????
The fact that they left a scarf behind……whyyyyyyy. This is one of those missions that start off all nice and cozy…we had a golden opportunity to save them and they made a choice to just…die :’(...
“Trembling Voice” Hidden Exploration and Story Quest
“Now I’ll never have to be cold again.”…..😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 okay so I’m going to go out on a limb and say….Snezhnaya is HAUNTED….yeah, very haunted indeed.
An Ark That Used to Be a Soul👁️
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Where do I even begin….the wedding sacrifice or the tell tale “broken and disembodied spirit” being sectioned off into places unknown (direct correlation to the story of the first descender by the way) but that’s just my own personal theory in the making.
Right now this is all that I have encountered (aside from the murder mystery theater that I mentioned in a previous blog). I’m more than sure there are more tragic love stories happening right now but I HAD to talk about these because they were heavy!
To be honest, all this really got me thinking: What if the Tsaritsa is the archon of tragic love? Keep in mind that even her name (Anastasia) has a sad history attached to it. I must say, if it is one thing that impresses me about the world of Teyvat, is how all of the people and beasts of their nations are pretty much reflections of their archons….its not easy to build so many mirroring side stories to the main plot, and Hoyo does it beautifully.
What are your thoughts on these quests???? Comment below and remember:
“For the love of life and the pursuit of the arts, stay prayerful, and write on.”
