SEASON THREE
Every episode our team will work to provide you with visual and video aids to help you better understand comparisons and what we’re talking about.
Below are some resources surrounding what we discussed about Venti the Bard that may be helpful to better understand this week’s lore:
If you’re interested in re-watching the Venti story quest in its entirety, you can thanks to Youtuber Gaming with Abyss.

The story of Venti as a wisp and befriending this bard kid that just wanted to see the sunshine was so sweet. Plus the cutscene is as gorgeous as always.

We mention the people who were present during Decarabian’s downfall, one being a red-haired knight that surely looks like a relative of Diluc. You can also see Venti’s cute little chubby wisp form in the cutscene.
To help hide his identity even more in Mondstadt, Venti wears a fake Anemo vision. You’d think being the archon he could have gotten himself a real one. At least then he wouldn’t have potentially been found out during the first event like Feens mentions.
If you’ve been to Angel’s Share, you’ve most likely tried to leave and accidentally clicked on Six-Fingered Jose at the door. If you joined our anniversary stream, you’d also know the disappointment Tif had once Al told her he doesn’t have six fingers. Why, Jose? WHY?!?!
A part of Venti’s story also tells us about Fake Stanley and what happened to the Real Stanley in Mare Jivari. Would you risk going to a windless land if you also believed your soul could not go to the afterlife if there was no wind to carry you?
At least Real Stanley got some peace in the end. And Fake Stanley can stop punishing himself.
We mentioned the archon tea party shown during this year’s Lantern Rite. If you didn’t get a chance to see the extra cutscene released, we’ve linked it below.

Speaking of Lantern Rite, Feens talked about the awkwardness of Hu-Tao’s dinner, where everyone basically tried to not out themselves.

Back in the time of Decarabian’s rule, Mondstadt – now known as Old Mondstadt – was over in the area we know as Stormterror’s Lair. Which is why he was also called the Lord of the Tower.
Amos’ Bow was once wielded by Decarabian’s lover-turned-enemy of the same name. She used this bow to fight Decarabian but was ultimately slain by her lover. Bee mentions an elf described in the Freedom Sworn weapon and questions who in the party this may have been. It’s quite possibly Amos who was the elf! Although we see her image in Venti’s story, her ears are hidden!
As we know by now, all archons have approximately 3500 names. Okay, maybe not, but they do all have an archon name derived from the Ars Goetia. Venti’s name is Barbatos, who is a duke and earl of hell. Mentioned as the eighth demon, he is able to talk to animals and lead people to treasures hidden by magicians.
Back in the Manga, we meet Venti. But he’s not like the Venti we know and love today in a diaper. Instead, he hardly wore anything.
Which is your favorite, OG slutty Venti or diaper baby in-game Venti?
