Is The Abyss Twin DEAD? || Genshin Theory [4.6]

The Third Descender met their untimely demise at the hands of the First and Second Descenders, who needed to create the gnoses to prevent the Primordial One's order from collapsing. But who is the Third? What was their story and how did it end like this?

But most importantly, why are they so similar to the traveler? One can only wonder if the two are related. Perhaps they are even twins...

Hello everyone! Tragedy has struck! I accidentally recorded the voiceover in mono instead of stereo, so if you are using earbuds/headphones you will only be able to hear my voice on one side. Unfortunately there is no fix for this, other than remaking the entire thing. I know it's really annoying, I'm so sorry about it 🙏! I hope it's still watchable!

[lnsflare]

Another things is that, for someone allegedly obsessed with creating a Primordial Human, Rhinedottir spent an awful lot of time pulling souls from the Abyss and putting them into custom made bodies.

[DrakeWurrum]

I refuse to believe this for one reason only.

That cutscene at the end of Xianyun's story quest.

I don't want to see my Aether in such pain ever again.

[candace]

This theory is absolutely plausible, it fits into some of mine a bit too well :') I'm convinced that either the Traveler, Paimon, or the sibling is going to die in the end, and of the three, the sibling is the most likely to me. I was actually originally very excited about specifically xianyun and yoimiya's first and second story quest respectively, because unlike many stories, they don't say that "eventually you have to wake up to reality", but rather "your dreams can become/be your reality". I actually really liked that, but now I realize that might be the dream trying to keep the Traveler there
😭

[amayas]

Naur cause as soon as Skirk mentioned that gnosi was the remains of the thrid descender i was convinced of this theory. Then I was wondering why the mc sibling was so calm when they heard what Skirk said too ... like lumine you know they talking about your BRO, right? 😅

[sheldome]

This theory is very plausible and a great plot twist. Your onto something!

[davidjohnson]

Twins arrive after new Mondstadt city is built 2600 years ago, which is plenty of time after the Archon war began.

[Enochnes]

Did you realize something the. 4 descender traits that rene said perfectly fits with the 4 shades
Asmoday/sustainer
Shade of life/creator
Shade of death/destroyer
Shade of time/protector
Of heavenly principles the 4 heavenly envoys that ruled humans in unified civilization era

[Moumanttai]

You may be into something, iirc in the opening cutscene in the beta you awaken in a cave to see the corpse of your sibling instead of a beach with paimon

[anyanP]

I still highly doubt that the abyss twin is third descender.
Firstly, twins definitely arrived after archon war as their meteors were shown flying over Mond, over Venti’s statue. And while time travel isn’t impossible, it’s seems unlikely — there’s no reason to complicate timeline like this AND we haven’t seen time alterations of that kind (sending a sentient being back to the past, physically) so far.

Also, there’s a major correction, not really related to validity of the theory, but about the creation of gnoses — gnoses were made by the primordial one and “the one who came after”, said “one who came after” might very well be NOT second descender/second throne, it might’ve been not descender at all.

[WayneZvidza-qhdp]

That could be because the abyss siblings like khaenriahn to much she maybe a khaenriahn clone or the traveller's memories are messed and does not have a sibling which means the abyss twin is a different sex clone to control the traveller . But who knows😅😅😅😅

[Cynotoes]

A while ago I read an article about a man that woke up from coma after about 10 years. He said that while he was in coma, he didn’t realize that he was sleeping and that in his dream, he was married and had kids… and after he woke up he didn’t believe it was a dream. So what if the stories about traveler going from world to world wasn’t true at all and it was just a dream? 😭😭

[Porforoogh]

Our sibling can't be the 3rd descender who died and their remains made the gnosise. in the game's intro cut seen we see the siblings passing by venties statue . so before our sibling fought the unknown god who you assume killed them, archons already existed meaning 3rd defender was already dead in order to create the gnosis. therefore our sibling is definitely not the 3rd descender

[ScarletteXoxo-wgui]

Thats why the Abyssal Twin wants to fight the destiny bcoz of their twisted fate.

[luxstellarum]

i still think the sibling is alive and actually the twin and is an outsider but only the mc is the descender

[harleyyy]

Now with the new dainsleaf quest it makes even more sense!
The twin wants to see us, misses us, but can’t and they wouldn’t even come to us although they were done fighting Dain and had the time to talk to us in the realm of Caribert.

[FrederickSkinner]

I'm more inclined to think that Perinheri is about Arlecchino. Far more links are to her than any one else.

[Fallensnowch]

What if the other twin is actually born from Filth like Hanachirusato. Who inherited the memory of the other twin. This new twin born from the filth of the abyss becomes the princess/prince of the abyss. Since Hanachirusato was able to inherit the memories of Kistune Saiguu because the “Dark Will” agreed to her request. What if the “Dark Will” that devoured the Kistune Saiguu is actually the sinner whose voice we heard in Caribert. The other twin’s memories were strong enough to keep their form and also gained the power of the abyss. Since the new twin is born from the filth in Teyvat, Irminsul recognises the new twin as part of this world. Since technically beings born from this “Dark will” is not the same person. This new twin born from the “Dark will” saw it as its master. Believe itself as princess/prince of abyss. Which we can refer to the battle pass story.

[hiimbobbyo]

They literally told us the twin isn’t a descender tho...

[VeraldoAncodini]

She can't be the 3rd Descender, because she was never a Descender, only Aether is.
As far as I see, the timeline goes like this: the twins get summoned by Khaenri'ah, spend some time there, and then either Aether refused to help them overthrow Celestia so they left, or they tried to solve things peacefully but instead got attacked by the Sustainer who imprisoned them (most likely in Celestia). Not long after this the Cataclysm happened and somehow Lumine got freed only to find Khaenri'ah destroyed, then something happened to her and she joined the Abyss Order. Then 500 years later Aether gets freed and starts roaming the beaches of Tyevat, fishing for Paimons.

Also, clearly the twins don't age at a normal rate, they aren't humans. And I'm pretty sure that Lumine got the "title" of Princess of Khaenri'ah after the Cataclism, when there was no one left to lead the remnant Khaenri'ahns.
