Genshin Impact players will be surprised to learn that Archons in the game are named after demons. In a demonology grimoire of the 17th century called The Lesser Key of Solomon, there are 72 demons in the Ars Goetia book that appear to be the inspiration behind Archons' names.
What's more surprising is the fact that Paimon is the name of a demon as well. Time and again, this has compelled players to think that she is a lot more than just just emergency food supply.
With that in mind, here's everything players need to know about the demonic side of Genshin Impact Archons.
Genshin Impact leaks reveal Kusanali's demon name
During the delay of the 2.7 update, Genshin Impact did not release a lot of new content. As a result, leakers were relying on old unused voice lines in the files to gather more information about the forthcoming events in the lore.
A prominent leaker Ubatcha, revealed Kusanali's demon name is Buer. This name of the Dendro Archon was even later confirmed in the Archon Quest.
Unused voice lines also revealed the demon names of the Pyro and Hydro Archons during that period, and as of version 4.2, it has now been confirmed that the latter's demon name is Focalors.
Here's a list of every Archon and their demon names:
- Venti - Barbatos
- Zhongli - Morax
- Raiden Shogun - Baal
- Nahida - Buer
- Pyro Archon, Murata - Aym
- Hydro Archon, Furina - Focalors
A leak that surfaced also revealed Kusanali's demon name, but the community took it with a pinch of salt. Now that the demon name has been confirmed, we can also take the following claims about Dendro Archon more seriously:
- Kusanali is known in Teyvat for her knowledge of philosophy and flowers.
- Kusanali's model is based on a childlike version of the Hindu God Shiva
A Genshin Impact Archon might hand her power to the Traveler soon
Note: This section of the article might contain storyline spoilers.
One of Venti's unused voice lines states:
"That brawler... I can't believe she transferred all her power to you! Whoawhoawhoa, YOU need to protect ME!"
This voice line is most likely from a conversation between Venti and the Traveler. Anemo Archon is surprised that another Archon has transferred all her power to the sibling.
While some players believe that the incident will take place in Sumeru, others claim that Murata, the Pyro Archon, will give away her Gnosis to the Traveler before they move to Snezhnaya (land of the Cryo Archon).
It is evident that the Archons in Genshin Impact are a lot more mysterious than they seem to be. The developers giving them demon names might be a coincidence or purely intentional and only time will solve this mystery.
