Frustrations in Teyvat: My Take on the Archon Quest
So, I was diving deep into Genshin Impact recently, and I stumbled upon a quest that had me tearing my hair out—層岩巨淵のダインの任務 (the Archon Quest with Dain in the
Chasm). Now, let me tell you, it wasn’t just the quest itself that drove me a bit crazy; it was the whole process of unlocking the Chasm and navigating that underground map. Ugh, what a slog! I remember one particular moment that had me chuckling and crying at the same time. I was trying to figure out how to attack this thing called グーシィトゥース. The hints kept popping up, “Attack グーシィトゥース with your skill!” I was like, “Okay, cool! But what the heck is グーシィトゥース? Is it that pillar over there?” So, there I was, flailing around, trying to hit this imaginary target, and getting absolutely nowhere. I was getting so frustrated that I actually started talking to myself. “Why can’t I hit this stupid pillar?!” Then, out of nowhere, I realized that the shadow behind me was the actual target! Talk about a facepalm moment. And you know how it goes, right? You think you’re making progress, and then bam! You hit a wall—literally and figuratively. The underground maps felt like they were designed to confuse, and I ended up wandering for what felt like hours, just trying to figure out where to go next. I even found myself munching on way too many snacks as I played, just to keep my spirits up. At one point, I was pretty sure I could have built a small fort out of snack wrappers. It’s funny how gaming can lead to these moments of sheer frustration mixed with laughter. I mean, who else has had that moment where you’re stuck on a quest, and you just can’t help but roll your eyes while also laughing at how ridiculous it is? Anyway, I’d love to hear from you guys! What Archon Quest had you pulling your hair out? Any tips or funny stories to share? Let’s swap tales in the comments!
