Venti's Lies, Secrets, and Mysteries [Genshin Impact Lore and Theories]

is just one of barbados's many incarnations I'll say that secrets are what makes a character interesting and characters that know a lot more than they lead on tend to be the biggest players on the board venti is a character that's amicable and friendly to almost everyone on the block your trusty neighborhood Bard with a lot of booze in his back pocket a time and time again venti has been Elusive and downright dishonest about a lot of things in the story which today I want to discuss are more so theorize because you can never really be too sure about venti's words so what are venti's secrets lies and Mysteries disclaimer the secrets that I will be presenting in this video aren't necessarily theories but rather speculations with varying degrees of potential and truth I'm making a lot of allegations here the reason I'm calling them theories is because they aren't inherently confirmed in the game as being Secrets because why would they that would defeat the purpose of it being a secret venti would never openly tell us that he's lied or hid anything from The Traveler so just for safety I'll be using the word theory despite some of these being borderline confirmed or heavily implied so let's begin venti's secretive nature is a tidbit that gets thrown a lot in the lore of the game but strangely undermined for example he openly admitted that he was the animal arkhan Barbados Without Really hiding it and he showed himself in the flesh the aristocrats of months that once the situation called for it just because Wendy has his Secrets doesn't mean that he is evil or manipulative but mostly because he needs to have them but we can't deny that venti knows a lot more than he leads on venti is first and foremost an archon meaning that his knowledge of tivat is extensive his element Animo is also important to consider there is emphasis time and time again that the wind is an element that flows through devot and is able to bring abstract things to Venti hearing the prayers of his people knowing information that normally no one would know or even just the winds bringing souls and stories let the wind lead and the wind hear me are constantly repeated in other animal voice lines Attunement to the wind means being privileged to a sick sense of some sort which leads venti's character in a strange position of power venti's jovial personality holds a lot of mystery because it's easy to trust him as being an arrogant and lacks deity but we have seen as early as the monster arconquest and the manga that venti is quick to intervene in dire situations that doesn't mean though that he's honest venti has a track record of lying and deception before we get to the theory portion let's open the actual Canon Secrets has hidden in the past first is that he lied to Vanessa into thinking that he wanted her to leave behind her people for her own safety this was a means of testing her to see if she could truly be a leader for the people second is that venti has falsified stories about Barbados and his ballots a quote from the venti characters Lorry too worshipers of Barbados are quick to decry these frivolous tales as Blasphemous Fabrications but whenever someone confronts venti about this this his response suggests that he has not an ounce of remorse how could you tell that their Fabrications he has a point even the most devoted sister could not possibly know the details of all of barbados's Deeds from a millennia ago only venti knows the truth behind the song lyrics and it is a truth he hides behind their enigmatic smile reason being yes Tales of barbados's and Orthodox exploits are entirely fabricated hey that defines that a few drinks really gets his Muse going and the third is my most favorite Lie from venti Barbados forged morax's signature to make the sleeves of the Aristocrat think that they were getting sent off to leeway effectively turning the Aristocats on people against them quote a secret treaty was found a betrayal of the city the aristocrats had forsaken the wind and sold everything in Monster to the Geo work on in the neighboring land at the treaty's end was carved in Insignia inimitable by all Saint the deity so named Rex lapis how the soldier said in one suppressed the slaves shuddered when they saw that they too would become slaves in a foreign land the news and the conflict spread like wildfire consuming their aristocracy it was only many years later that historians would discover that this treaty was fake as it turns out Fenty had once practiced the art of forgery in order to play pranks on the diorcon but could never just see if the god of wealth and transactions even so his adeptness would come into play after several hundred years what a happy coincidence just from these few examples we can tell the kind of person venti is venti has good intentions that he is not above lying to people which brings me to the next part of this video what else could venti be hiding well let's begin my first theory is that Wendy is trying to actively dissuade The Traveler from going to Celestia by talking down the garden's Glory with thinly failed warnings disguised as insults I'm starting this list off with something that isn't necessarily a lie but rather another form of underhanded persuasion every time the traveler asks them about Celestia godhood or other things related to the sort venti always makes it a point to add a negative connotation to his description when asked about if ascending to Celestia makes you a god venti uses words like sacrifice and gives a more of a description of how in other Distant Worlds their primordial deities had to remove parts of themselves for the sake of creating that world when asked about Celestia venti immediately dissuades a traveler by saying that the garden isn't all that great whatever his motivations are for talking negatively about the island in the sky are unknown at the moment but it's clear that venti has a thinly veiled fear of the island and most likely for good reasons next theory is about the 2.8 event where venti lied about not knowing who was intercepting at dotical communication and most likely had an idea what the fertility were doing on the golden apple archipelago and that he needed to ask a traveler to sort the situation this one was something that has been on my mind throughout the entire quest in 2.8 and it's that there's no way that venti doesn't know that kusanali was the voice in the dodoco Ley lines first is that Avengers are the ones that orchestrated the travels to the golden apple archipelago with CLE Bean course the giving Fishel the island We Know This Much from the letter that was given to Fishel and the way venti mysteriously knew that the traveler was going to ask about the golden apple archipelago this was something that the traveler even calls out that they were just going to ask venti about the islands before venti went on the 1.6 recap so most likely Wendy was told about what happened on the island which is why clay wouldn't be allowed to go there and that Alice is asking for an intervention and why we went there I wouldn't say that Venti intentions was just to get us to clean up the place after the fatoui because I do genuinely think that he wants us to enjoy ourselves but we can't deny that the island was in a really dire situation when we got there and I believe that fancy would have an idea that this was a danger archon's power all right well thank you there's some strange things going on on this island we ran into the fatoui yeah they're everywhere aren't they the cryo archon's minions are a capable crew I'd be more surprised if they hadn't shown up yet but they're ruining our vacation in this exchange venti constantly reassures the traveler that a fatoui aren't a problem which sense hostile fatui wasn't the problem so much as it was the machine that they made the technologically literate fatoui were the reason why the machine broke in the first place and the tone of venti's voice here just make it sound like he already knew that they were there and that he's not exactly completely shocked really but uh you sound fine they can't have caused you too much trouble surely or well if if they did I'm sure you have everything under control by now feel right that's why we came to you don't you have any information for us you'd think you'd have a little bit more urgency in his voice considering he got kicked by and stolen from by a Harbinger but no apparently not as for the mysterious voice although we don't know who it was not only did she not harm you she also helped you to gain a better understanding of each other right if you look at it that way maybe she meant you well I mean if she was able to intercept Alice's communication tool I'm sure she's also plenty capable of attacking you the way he just says it is so calm and relaxed a complete contrast to the side of benzi who's not in control of the situation we've seen moments before where venti is on guard or in desperation I seriously doubt that venti isn't aware of who kusanali is especially since he's so adamant in telling the traveler that the voice that they heard was not an enemy just something that I really wanted to address my next one is that venti knows who the sustainer of heavenly principles is and has a guess about who took the Traveler's sibling venti is also much more aware of the Traveler's origin than he leads on the first part of this statement is that I find it difficult to believe that venti doesn't know who the sustainer of heavenly principles is and what she stands for he is not only an archon but also someone that has canonical connections with the goddess of time is the Roth if venti doesn't know who the celestial gods are despite being in a close proximity with the goddess of time then that's just a strange lap in characterization I'll be honest with you but the reason I claim that he has a guess on who separated Aether and lamine is because of the flow of conoria's events and the way he responded in the last part of the archon quest let's set the sequence and the discrepancies vent economically fought durian and wants that over Dragon spine the festering desire Skyward spine and the dragon spine Spears state that this is the case but that doesn't stop the fact that venti may have been called to conoria shortly after defeating durian much like how makata was it's possible that all the archons were called to conoria to deliver the final blow Against The Invasion because we know that there used to be a shadowy army emerging from konria this is followed by the sustainer and her cubes finally thawing down the cataclysm if this clear eyes sequence is true this also recontextualizes venti's opening greeting oh that was a refreshing sleep ah traveler we meet again what you don't remember me well allow me to join you on your quest once again I must say to it that the bards of the world tell the Traveler's Tales out of all the greetings this one is the weirdest but it can also just be a joke that The Travelers messing with venti that they don't remember him after demonstrator Conquest but that'll be another discussion about Quest vs playability so we can't really discuss anything about that but let's entertain the idea that events he met the traveler during conoria and by extension the twin because the traveler was woken up by their sibling and we know ether Lumin tried to flee tavot together this would put this dialogue from venti in the ending note through another perspective but as for which of the seven took your sister I'm sorry I don't know wait as one of the seven I'm not clear of Suspicion yet either am I at this point the traveler would only know that there are seven archons because that is what pymon tells them in the beginning of the game if the Seven Nations are under respective Gods there is no conversation that there are more than that especially not more ruling bodies because in all technicality the sustainer isn't part of the seven but there is a problem to what I just said this Theory heavily relies on whether or not the traveler told venti about the events in the prologue much like how traveler told pymon because if the traveler told venti that there was a lady that took away his sister and that there were floating cubes then this is a dead giveaway to Venti because no God in the seven has access to cubes and is a woman at least not that we know of sorry junglee plus if the traveler describes the God's appearance to Venti then that's also a really big consideration because according to the traveler venti doesn't look like that God at all as an archon it's possible that aventi could easily disconnect the dots but conorio was destroyed by the blocks of the sustainer of heavenly principles and that The Travelers were separated by the cubes in the beginning of the game but again this all relies on a theory that venting you that the traveler was there in conoria and that venti himself was in Connery at the time venti would also have an idea that the traveler has more Powers than they lead on and that he currently isn't aware of their fullest Arsenal because at this point of the story The Traveler doesn't have geo-residence which means that it's pretty Justified for venti to not completely throw all the cards on the table because this being in front of him is also a creature that he doesn't know and in all honesty The Traveler could easily be a threat if they want to but let's move on to the last Theory venti's purpose of saying he's the weakest archon was an intentional move to hide his true power not a real form of assessment before I begin I just like to say that venti being the weakest or among the weakest means nothing in the grand scheme of things venti's overall strength as an archon isn't something to be scoffed at regardless if he is the weakest amongst the seven it's the same as saying ten thousand dollars is less than one hundred thousand dollars there's still both a lot of cash and venti is still amongst the strongest entities in debate but I did want to comment on something he said at The Monster at Argan Quest each archon presides over their own part of tavat that is the role the archons play Only In performing Miss Duty can we attain power but I don't like the idea of ruling monstat and I don't feel monstat would really like it either go forth and establish a city of freedom without rule we have not forgotten barbados's wish for monstat uh however it may have come to be I haven't been back to monstat for an extended period of time without a doubt I am now the weakest star cone among the seven venti calling himself the weakest archon is a power move a power move of undermining his true strength as not to seem like a big player on the board The Traveler even calls out how advantages of this statement and deal with questions eventually's humility is a blessing or a curse but notice that throughout the story of Kenshin venti is the only one that ever mentions this comparison which makes them question the validity he says that archon's must preside over their own part of devat to gain power so I'll boil this statement down to higher authority means higher strength so what does that mean maybe he means active Authority like how they rule the land so rules and jurisdictions would be what gives them power this is the closest to what could possibly make him the weakest archon now that would work for someone like John Lee but what about Ian kusanali it was in a stasis for most of the Inazuma arkan Quest and has admitted that most of her decisions such as the vision Hunter Creek and the sakukudikri was a collaboration in with herself and the Ryden Shogun though he is in a very big position of authority and power so we shouldn't consider her as a variable kusonali on the other hand is a God that admits she has no clear rule over the sages and has admitted that she herself wasn't being taken seriously sure maybe at one point of her existence she was respected and rectified maybe to the same extent as greater Lord Ruka devada but that doesn't stop the fact that at the present she has little to no jurisdiction over the current happenings of sumeru since that power is relegated to the sages and even worse off is that there is another faction entirely in sumerook that just doesn't listen to her so I'm curious if venti is on the same scaling as kusanali or maybe venti means influence which might also not be the case Fenty has a church a statue and several festivals that praise His name and traditions if you're considering his political influence like how kusanali has the sages or morax has the league of achieving venti has Knights of avonius who are the primary and sole ruling body of monstat the teachings and scriptures about Barbados are prevalent in his country which only serve as a bigger question but regardless of the true power scaling venti's words specifically aren't what we should be heeding but rather the implications of saying them in the first place venti most likely says that so that others underestimate him as an archon something that he constantly does over the course of the story he constantly avoids questioning by saying that he is just a humble Bard from onstat so even when a person knows that he is an archon he can avoid direct scrutiny by saying that he's the weakest this is also the most evident in the fight against Senora where he made no attempt whatsoever to Channel the full power of the gnosis or even just his regular power according to the lore Barbados is a God that terraformed the golden apple archipelago and has supported the violin against the battle with dorin this is a God that has faced war and back but the question is why why is venti hiding his true power or why is he being so secretive in dismissive every time we try to ask him questions who really is Venti well I don't know I was thinking he lost his memories of the past but that's clearly not the case venti has memories of hilly trillion language and alludes to knowing the history of kanriya venti is just an enigma through and through maybe we don't really know Venti maybe we should listen to pymon a little bit more but anyway my name is Austin thank you for chilling with me [Music]
