The way Rukkhadevata looks at Nahida is how a mother would look at her child growing up. The feeling itself is profound.

[douglaswang]

After 500 years in captivity, Nahida finally got her first hug.

And the meaning of this hug is farewell.

[ChloeEvesVA]

Thank you so so so much for allowing me to be the voice of such a wonderful character <3 loved every moment of being Rukkhadevata

[Aserith]

There goes the best archon we've met so far, she did not only saved the people of Sumeru from the forbidden knowledge, she saved all of Teyvat protecting the Irminsul and sacrificing her own self and consciousness for 500 years to halt the infection until her "branch" was ready to "delete" her from existence.
Not only did she saved the whole Teyvat, she did it knowing no one would remember her or her sacrifice, kindness in it's most purest form.
Rest in peace Rukkhadevata.

[bluey]

I actually shed tears when I first watch this. To think that Nahida has to erase Rukkhadevata's existence with her own hand is so heartbreaking to see.

[Truck-kun]

This scene makes Zhongli's line about the Traveler being an eternal record of Teyvat all the more meaningful, he's the only one in the whole world who will still remember her, so at least she's not completely gone.

[EclipseStorm]

Who came back after Masquerade of the Guilty (Fontaine Act 5). Both these quests were amazing in their own ways! And both made me cry like a waterfall!

[godcomplex]

"Goodbye, people of sumeru. May you be blessed tonight with the sweetest of dreams"

This line made me lose it.
I just couldn't hold the tears back.

[pepitothefrogito]

The trope of someone being forgotten and wiped out from history is such a tearjerker for me. Just imagine the rush of emotions you feel, Annoyance that there is something missing, Anger that you couldn't change the outcome and the Sadness of losing someone important to you, all flowing into you at the same time. And the last nail in the coffin is when the character asks "why am I crying?"

[perfectina-]

We went from "the world forget me" just after we arrive in sumeru, to this scene. It's all came out together beautifully. I love it 😭

[ReniqueHD]

She was probably one of the purest archons/people we've seen so far, an amazing friend to King Deshret, sacrificing all her power to help him fix his mistake and a great archon to the people, loving and even willing to let them forget all the amazing things she's done for them just so they can live better lives. That's a true archon, loved her and I'm glad atleast the traveler can remember her 😪

[ChenAnPin]

Sumeru was blessed by two gods; one who never gave up on and loved its people despite being held in captivity for centuries, the other who loved her people so much she was willing to be forgotten and erased completely from existence for their sake.

[enchantress]

I love how there is no dramatic and magnificent chorus in this scene, just sweet calming theme of Sumeru that puts its people in a greatest dreams of all time

[fishyfishy]

Sumeru's cutscenes are freaking amazing. Makes anyone all emotional

[Xaiken]

OST used is "Ethereal Mildness"(Piano half) and "For Riddles, For Wonders"(Sitar+Flute half). Also, peak emotional damage, the writers nailed it with sumeru. We'll always remember you, Rukkhadevata ; - ;

[ardstota]

In many cultures, a commonly held belief is that as long as one person remembers your name, remembers your face, remembers your actions, you never truly die. As long as The Traveler remembers Rukkhadevata, she will always live.

[Lunathefox]

This cutscene is just incredibly moving

[bearsofix.]

This part was heart breaking to me, they really showed the emotion and heartbreak in her. The feeling of sadness and frustration was perfectly played

[Dylan_Otto]

As much as I loved Fontaine’s finale, I’ve always wondered why Rhukkadevata’s story made me cry more. After some thought, I think it’s the fact that at least Focalors and Furina were remembered and (at least to some) celebrated while Rhukka, with her endless love for Sumeru, basically sacrificed her own existence to save the people who would never be able to remember their archon, guide, and mother.

Makes me wonder why we couldn’t come up with a fable for Nahida to remember her “mom” by.

[senseiace]

I think in terms of being an actual God, Rukkhadevata comes closest to it by a long shot. Yeah the other Archons were almighty and powerful, but Rukkhadevata literally did more for all of Teyvat and any Archon we've seen so far, and she had a lot more to her than just power.
