[troodss]

There is a glitch that people dont know about where if you use Aim mode for bow characters and enter paimon barrier, it confuses paimon and by aiming in right positions, paimon will lead you further inside paimon barrier, aiming at certain points also allows you to coordinate paimon so she would lead you to place you wanna go to, like if you aim down to ground paimon will make you walk right while aiming straight makes you walk left

celestia has a restraining order against the traveller

I'm pretty sure Celestia isn't placed at a specific coordinate within the world map, but rather in the sky relative to your own position to emulate its actual location. And to avoid having to spawn and render a massive floating island, it's a tiny model instead to save up on resources.

the way celestia shrinks as you get closer to it makes me think that it's some kind of size adjustment, so that it always looks the same size in the sky no matter the distance. i dont think the 3d model would be visible from inazuma otherwise

Hoyo knew someone would do this, so they made it impossible to get to Celestia ahead of time.

Maybe it's actualy not a bug, remember what Scaramouche said in 1.1 : "The Stars, the sky, it's a all gigantic hoax, a lie"

I honestly feel like if moosashi was a character in Genshin, Celestia would have blown up Teyvat out of fear

so this is what childe means when he says he wants to take on celestia one day

[tachrayonic]

It looks to me like Celestia is designed to be a fixed distance away from the player, so that it looks the same size no matter how close you get to it. When viewed from above, this can cause it to be pushed into the ground.
Given how quickly celestia went around you at 7:59 shows that you were very close to the center point (such that Celestia will always be in line with the camera and the center point). Probably just past the radius of a typical world boss arena.

I really hope the idle animation glitch doesn't get fixed, I would like to be able to try it out one day.

Celestia's position is in a specific 3D spot, but the 3D model is anchored behind it and orbits around it to line up with the player's position. This allows Celestia to be displayed around the game dynamically while maintaining its relative position. It's like a trebuchet: the traveler is the payload, celetia's 3D model is the counterweight and the rotation axis is the actual position of Celestia.

Naturally you were never ment to see it that way. it doesn't "shrink" in size, it's always the same size, you simply got very close to that axis so you saw it nearby and broke the ilusion.

i love the dichotomy of you explaining the glitch in detail and Noblies posting a two minute vid of him just going to celestia. It’s great lol

[doveslizleskiss]

i love how in this glitch paimon looks like she’s just accompanying you to celestia 😅❤ so cute… but in reality it’s paimon barrier

[persephonehades]

It's less we're not supposed to see Celestia from above and more it's pinned to the very edge of the skybox in game. Since the skybox is constantly moving with your character, Celestia will also constantly move with your character. Celestia isn't really "shrinking" in this case. It's just far out of reach no matter what parlor tricks you use.

Its the heavenly principles meddling with you reaching Celestia. They are saying that its still too early.

[snakemgr]

As someone who also found the glitch Its really fun to mess around with, I personally put a portable waypoint on top of the desert pyramid, very cool views. 😎

[genshintookmymoney]

I think that by making Celestia 3D they were basically challenging players to get there by any means possible.

Sending Nilou to Celestia is really beyond herself being a dancer

[dapperdahlia]

you could go there in windtrace and walk right through it
