25 Things You Missed in 7.2 Snezhnaya Trailer (Genshin Impact)

Summary

The video analyzes lore clues in the Snezhnaya trailer and offers theories about Celestia, the Heavenly Principles, and the coming conflict. Many of its points are speculation rather than confirmed story details.

Celestia’s Automated System: Esoptron

The trailer’s voice announcing “Connecting to Celestia” is identified as Esoptron. Because Esoptron shares Paimon’s voice actor, the narrator suggests that Paimon may be connected to it—and possibly to the Heavenly Principles or a theorized “Shade of Reason.” The Traveler’s apparent familiarity with the Heavenly Principles is also used to support the theory that they were the twins’ ship AI.

The Twins’ Arrival and Teyvat’s Past

The video connects a line about welcoming someone to the world with the theory that the twins’ ship AI transformed Teyvat in preparation for their arrival. It speculates that the sibling may have learned about this earlier and that Teyvat was prepared for the twins.

Celestia and the Nails

The narrator reviews past civilizations and the destruction associated with Celestial Nails, including Hyperborea, Sal Vindagnyr on Dragonspine, and Tsurumi Island. They question why a Nail fell in Natlan, where the known evidence points to damage from the war between Celestia and the dragons rather than human wrongdoing.

The trailer’s plan to restore Teyvat to the Light Realm may imply a reset of the whole world, rather than the destruction of a single civilization.

The Archons’ Gathering and the Trial of Usurpation

Esoptron appears to check the completion of a “Trial of Usurpation,” which may involve the gods of each nation. The video highlights Neuvillette’s defense of Fontaine’s people and his status as a Dragon Sovereign. Furina is absent, and Columbina is also not seen.

The Trial might be a new test—or the original mission begun by Phanes, suggesting that an ancient war remains unresolved.

Zhongli’s Role

Zhongli’s line about a final contract is interpreted as a hint that the secret agreement he made with the Tsaritsa in Version 1.1 will finally be addressed. The narrator speculates that Zhongli may be away fulfilling it and wonders whether he is powerful enough to confront the Heavenly Principles alone—or may himself be a Descender.

Phanes and a Possible Celestia Shutdown

If Phanes has remained asleep since the Cataclysm, the video asks how the Tsaritsa could address them. Esoptron’s error messages may indicate that the gods trigger conditions beyond its ability to process, potentially shutting Celestia down.

Map and Snezhnayan Locations

The trailer shows symbols for the six known fallen Nails and what appears to be a complete map of Teyvat. It depicts a large ocean between Snezhnaya and Mondstadt and includes the future Fontaine area of Mount Esus.

It also shows Kitezhgrad, described as the first Cryo Archon Belyi Tsar’s capital, and Novokitezhgrad, where Snezhnaya mines Kresnik Kristall.

The Cryo Dragon and Blightkristalls

Kresnik Kristall is associated with the authority of a dead Cryo Dragon, which may explain why the mines resemble dragon scales. The red Blightkristalls could be corrupted remnants of the dragon. The narrator speculates that Abyssal corruption may be involved and that the Traveler’s purification ability could help resolve it.
