Cycles of rebirth of Teyvat
The theory about the cyclical nature of Teyvat has existed since the release of the game, but gained its popularity with the advent of Nahida tells the Traveler that in books with fairy tales and legends the events of past cycles of Samsara can be recorded, hinting that real events are hidden among some fictions.
We looked at it in more detail in a separate article. theory about the cyclicity of Teyvat.
Ningguang is the reincarnation of Guizhong
When about Ningguang. There is no direct mention of such cases in the game, but there are arguments for the theory.
To begin with, it is important to note the similarity in the characters of the heroines: both sincerely love their people and are ready to protect them in every way, even if this requires some sacrifices. It is known that Guizhong created a special ballista. Ningguang, during the mission of the Archons, creates three such weapons for the battle with Osial, and the character’s constellation visually resembles the equipment. In addition, both girls have similar preferences in colors and food.
There is an eighth element
One of the most mysterious characters in the plot is Eyes of God indicated as some kind of illegible symbol that has not yet been deciphered.
This also includes the question regarding the power of the Abyss, because the abilities of creatures from it differ from those found in the open world. Some believe that the element of the Abyss is the infected element of Light that the twins possess. In addition, in the description of one of personalized cards it is said that there can be more than seven elements, but only so many are counted due to human laziness.
Albedo will destroy Mondstadt
Albedo - alchemist Ordo Favonius and a man artificially created by his mentor Reindottir. Theories are also built around his personality, and one of them is that the Prince of Chalk can bring destruction to Mondstadt.
It starts with a character teaser in which Dainsleif warns that he won't be able to stand by if Geo Alchemist slips up. After all, his knowledge comes from the art of Khemia, which once destroyed Kaenri'ah, and therefore is capable of causing damage to other regions of Teyvat. Albedo himself adds tension to this information at the end of his legend quests, where he directly asks the Traveler to stop him if the alchemist plans to destroy Mondstadt.
Paimon is related to Celestia
Another person who has a lot of theories in the community is the Traveler's companion, Paimon. The creature accompanying the hero is mysterious in many ways, starting with its name, taken from the grimoire “Demons of Goetia,” as well as the names of the Archons of Teyvat, which may well indicate the divine essence of Paimon.
It is also very likely to be associated with melusines, one of which sees Paimon as a ball of light on a long string going up.
The Queen plans to overthrow Celestia
From the first chapters of the story, players learn that the Cryo Archon Queen is collecting Hearts of the Gods, but the question remains: for what purposes does she do this? In one of the quests, Dainsleif says about the goddess that neither she nor her people have any love left for each other, but only the hope that she will someday go against the throne of Heaven.
This is where theories were born that the Archon’s plan Jade Shivada. But what actions the Cryo deity is actually going to take will only become known in further chapters.
The false sky of Teyvat
Information that makes you think about the fakeness of the sky over Teyvat appeared in one of the first events, when Fanete. He separated the "universe" and the "microcosm of the world" using a shell, which may be a description of the actual creation of a kind of dome.
On top of everything in Dottore the latter intrigued the deity of wisdom precisely with the knowledge of heaven, saying that it was a fake and that this was the truth that Irminsul was hiding.
Columbine is a fairy
The third of Seniors.
In a separate article we talked in more detail about theory why Columbine might be a fairy.
Al-Haytham is the reincarnation of Al-Ahmar
With the advent of the Sumeru Desert and the exit al-Haytama A theory has become popular online that Dendro the hero may turn out to be the reincarnation of King Deshret, the lord of sands and deserts. Players had such thoughts due to several interesting details. Al-Haitham's appearance is reminiscent of the desert deity: the character's pupil has the same color scheme as Deshret's eye from the cutscene, as well as details of his costume, the shapes of which are found on the buildings of the arid region.
s even linked the hero’s birthday, February 11, with the date commonly considered to be the birth of Amun-Ra, the prototype god of Al-Ahmar. But, unfortunately, apart from these observations, the degeneration was not confirmed in any way.
Paimon or Gemini will be the final boss
Many fans are looking forward to the ending of the game, and while there is time, they are speculating about the ending of the plot. Thus, some s believe that the final opponent of the Traveler could be both Paimon and the Abyss Twin. The first idea is the connection between Paimon and the Unknown Goddess from the beginning, the similarity of her abilities and external details. And since the game begins with a confrontation between the unknown and the Traveler, the story may end with the same battle.
The twin boss version revolves around the fact that Order of the Abyss is one of the main antagonists of the Traveler, and his relative is at the head of it. From this we can conclude that it would be logical to fight him in the finals. Both options seem strange, given that Paimon is presented as the best companion, and the twin does not show hostility, however, what happens in the finale will only be known through the entire story.
