Cursed Kuuvahki Facts After Luna IV Lore [AQ Spoilers]

In Luna IV we learn that Kuuvahki is in fact, Columbina's body

&nbsp;

That means:

* Rerir's body is made of Columbina's flesh, since Rerir's body was remade with Kuuvahki

* Columbina lives rent-free in Rerir's head... literally

* Rerir has 2 women inside him (Tholindis & Columbina)

* Aino's cannon shoots little pieces of Columbina as ammunition

* Radiant Beasts appear to be the Kuuvahki edition of Consecrated Beasts, which mutated due to eating the corpse of a god. Radiant Beasts probably mutated due to Kuuvahki i.e. Columbina's corpse

* Does this mean Columbina's body is highly mutagenic/radioactive? Will a non-vision bearer hugging Columbina mutate?

* If Kuuhenki are made from Kuuvahki, it suggests pieces of Columbina's body can... spontaneously gain sentience

* Is Columbina talking to herself when she talks to a Kuuhenki?

* The Fatui researchers that died in the Colors Out of Space /Nothing Passage quest were eaten by pieces of Columbina that spontaneously gained sentience and decided to eat human flesh

* Some people like Kaarina (NPC from in Luna I) have "congenital kuuvahki sensitivity". They are allergic to Kuuvahki... and probably allergic to Columbina

No, Columbina isn't radioactive or mutagenic. That happens after the gods die, not while they're alive.

Physical-Command21302026-01-16 20:40

yaksha's all dead due to that

TonkzJr2026-01-16 21:08

I might be misunderstanding but isnt Kuuvakhi Columbina's dead body? She had to die to leave her soul in the Gate and her Kuuvaki body over Nod-Krai, and then she is reborn with the power of the ither 3 moons, on the moon, hence now being the Trilunar Goddess

Costyn172026-01-16 22:33

You got that right, but I assume Columbina is alive when someone tries to hug her.

Furicel2026-01-17 00:20

You misunderstood. Kuuvahki isn't Columbina's body, Kuuvahki is Columbina's power as a goddess. To die, she decided to turn her whole body into power and give it to Nod Krai.

Think of it more like sacrificing her body to convert it all into power, that's what she did and it's the reason Nod Krai has Kuuvahki all over it.

JDBCool2026-01-17 04:13

Think it also has to do with "intent" or positive/negative emotions.

That whatever dead snake body in Inazuma that causes corruption.

Snake god wasn't happy and the divine energy is more akin to "corruption".

More or less the same could be said about Tsurumi and Serai island and that Thunderbird (and the whole time loop)

Same thing happened with the Salt god. (Caught off guard in negative fear energy, and the burst of energy released was harmful).

Once is a random occurence, twice is a coincidence, third time is a trend.

Furicel2026-01-17 05:24

That makes sense. It could also be a difference between gods who are killed by others and gods who sacrifice themselves/turn into something else.

Gods that were killed include Thunderbird, Goddess of Salt, Decarabian, Orobashi...

Gods that sacrificed themselves include Rukkhadevata, Focalors, Columbina, Marchosius...

Khoakuma2026-01-16 20:16

Yep that’s why Rerir was able to survive being sent through the portal and still had a body inside the Moon’s Reflection. Everything else gets torn to shreds, including Abyssal energy. The process purify him of Abyssal corruption.

Zwirbs2026-01-16 21:53

Rerir playable with moon wheel confirmed

Draaxus2026-01-17 03:18

So like

Is throwing all the other Sinners into Moon Gates a viable strategy for Columbina who isn't being rejected by Teyvat anymore

scarletfloof2026-01-17 03:39

The moon gate probably isn’t the most comfortable thing to open and Columbina probably doesn’t want to go around with us waiting to find a sinner to throw into it

Quiet_Assistance59512026-01-17 03:59

But we can play with the celestial principles when we find them :D

Fimbulvetr12026-01-17 06:32

Well first you'd have to suppress a sinner, they're not stepping into the moon gate if you politely ask lol

Background-Map-362026-01-16 20:17

As someone who doesn't care about spoilers and also has only completed the first half of the quest, this is an absolutely cursed list to think about when playing the second part, thank you.

rW0HgFyxoJhYka2026-01-17 02:18

A lot of this could be handwaved though depending on how you view the moonlight.

It's like say you are the sun. And the sunlight, which is part of you, creates life or gets absorbed by life.

Is the plant part of you when its created out of your sun juice? Magic plant? Or is it its own thing as a magic plant.

Like if a parent has a child, and the child is made up of the parents juice, does my mom live rent free in my head?

Schubert1252026-01-17 04:22

Yes to all of those because that's the worst answer

SgtRohn2026-01-16 20:47

As someone currently trying to progress through Act VIII this time at 4 AM, this shits keeping me awake.

TetraNeuron2026-01-16 20:49

If Rerir has 2 women inside him, does he have 5 X-Chromosomes?

HorribleDat2026-01-16 22:29

He has TRANScended.

saberwriter762026-01-16 23:42

Playable Rerir is the Trans Agenda confirmed!

E17Omm2026-01-17 00:24

I can't wait for Rerir to come back and for *her* to shoot white, pink, and blue colors with every attack

strawwwwwwwwberry2026-01-17 02:05

Kicking the wild hunt into gear was a symptom of dysphoria

Serpentarrius2026-01-17 06:19

Wasn't the wild hunt originally described as appearing to be a woman? So, confirmed?

Serpentarrius2026-01-17 06:23

Wait does he have top surgery scars? I guess going through a moon gate is one way to do it...

SgtRohn2026-01-16 23:40

Never has your pfp been more appropriate than now.

Zesty_Crouton2026-01-17 10:10

We joke, but that's an actual medical condition called Pentasomy or Klinefelter Syndrome, and if he had it, he'd be a short little guy with disfigured bones and kidney problems and intellectual disabilities.

...Which isn't as fun to talk about I guess, but I find it interesting, so here we are.

Serpentarrius2026-01-19 03:31

I had an early flight the next day and this kept me awake lol

Dalek-baka2026-01-16 21:16

Lauma's blood helps with kuuvahki related afflictions, means she produces anti-Columbina substances.

TheIJDGuy2026-01-16 23:03

Does this mean Lauma is inherently unholy

Gruntsbreeder2026-01-16 23:05

Obviously have you not seen her horns?

Specsaman2026-01-17 06:52

What horns ?

Gruntsbreeder2026-01-17 07:02

Antlers

Luster-Purge2026-01-17 00:27

Given I think she legitimately has the biggest endowment of the entire cast, probably.

El_kakas_de_vakas2026-01-17 04:26

evil and intimidating deer

Particular_Web32152026-01-17 05:03

her two moons nearly choked the trilune moon goddess, so yes

Weaponmaster4702026-01-17 01:31

Suddenly "Lauma I can't breathe" takes on an even funnier tone.

Lost-Soul_Sage1872026-01-16 21:34

I played through the whole quest, and didnt think about this.

Also, point 2 and 3 had me rolling. Odd, but funny nonetheless.

GameWoods2026-01-16 21:39

This means Jahoda is also allergic to Columbina

kokko6932026-01-16 21:40

No you are thinking too strictly about kuuvahki = body. Her body is her body, it's material.

Her body transformed into energy, who was sent to Nod Krai, then it transformed into its own ecosystem.

Its not that Columbina is everywhere. More like a part of Columbina is.

It's like saying a kid is you because there is a part of you in him. Nah, a kid is separate from his parents, tho he share a close DNA proximity.

hoyoshill2026-01-16 23:31

So rerir now becomes columbina's kid.

casper_072026-01-17 00:20

Bina learnt some form of adoption is common amongst archons so she decided to up the game and take one of the sinners as her adopted child. The only comparable one we have is neuvilette and focalors, meanwhile the role reversed for furina thus gg full cycle lmao

EoS traveler gotta have at least the shades or even heavenly principles as his adopted child or sum shit, competition is tough out here

SomeRandomNewtype2026-01-17 02:14

Considering what's been shown about Asmoday and Paimon...

FunBuilding27072026-01-17 03:35

As much as we are the Sun's children.

Ecstatic-Source60012026-01-17 05:22

I dont think we shoud treat her as human at the first place. Body is not important.

Moon goddesses are entities, they exist while physical moon exist.

Kuuvahki is just her power. So she spread her power on Nod Krai to save it while she died so full authority returns to the Frost moon (cuz it still exist)

When Frost moon entered Teyvat borders she appeared thanks to kuuvahki powers. You can say body is just avatar of moon authority.

ohoni2026-01-17 21:51

It's kind of like how every breath of air you take in, contains at least some atoms that were once part of a human body. Every glass of water you drink is probably at least 1% human.

SecretSpectre112026-01-16 22:32

So she really was the eldritch horror people were expecting

KazakiriKaoru2026-01-17 00:20

Be not afraid. I am in every part of Nod-Krai. You cannot escape me.

TetraNeuron2026-01-17 08:08

We crash against HER body,

and fall like rain into the place we cannot go.

We climb like vines up HER arms,

reaching into the world that should be ours.

We flow like blood into HER open mouth,

and spill into the land we have watched forever.

> Kuuhenki ... spontaneously gain sentience

So just like humans after they're born. They we're a part of their mother's body before, then became their own being.

TheWitcherMigs2026-01-17 01:30

If the newborn humans where derangedly taught by scientists without a single amount of ethics that eating flesh would make them more powerful, and had gravity based powers, yes

Admirable_Register892026-01-17 01:56

>scientists without a single amount of ethics

Dottore wants to know your location

nowlz142026-01-17 09:06

Last time I checked they also weren't born from a god's body.

KendiArtista12026-01-16 22:39

>Rerir has 2 women inside him (Tholindis and Columbina)

Nearly spit out my water reading that, second to Columbina living in Rerir's head rent free

astegenne2026-01-17 11:40

Why tholindis, did I miss something? Finished the quest but might not have remembered everything because of adhd

KendiArtista12026-01-18 21:42

His heart (that we purified of the Abyss back in 6.0 before he regained a body) has some of Tholindis's memories in it.

It's still not explained how or why it happened.

Curiousity10242026-01-16 23:27

You can think of Kuvahki as Water . Its just liquid when it first came here. And then life slowly infused with Hydrogen and carbon . Then slowly turning to water , protein , lipids , carbohydrates , nuclei acid and so on.. Each getting complex and Transform to life we see today.

No need to over react . If water was once came off from "The god's body part" , and now we are all here because of it. That's pretty cursed too - If I think like you .

Its just your imagination freaking you out .

saberwriter762026-01-16 23:45

Well, that’s some Yoko Taro stuff right there. I’m gonna need a minute.

Admirable_Register892026-01-17 01:57

Nier x genshin collab soon ???

saberwriter762026-01-17 03:01

I did have a (thoroughly disproven bully this point) headcanon that Katheryne was really 2B and that Teyvat was Earth far, far, *far* after the events of Automata.

Admirable_Register892026-01-17 03:03

The image of 2b being Katherine and 9s being aether is now ingrained in my kind now. Might as well make 6O paimon through the pods

saberwriter762026-01-17 03:06

And now I have the image of Columbina singing The Song Of The Ancients to Sandrone every night.

Dang. After all this time Nier can still send me down a rabbit hole XD

Edit: wait, does that mean Sandrone is A2?

Admirable_Register892026-01-17 03:08

>And now I have the image of Columbina singing The Song Of The Ancients to Sandrone every night

I just had a link of signora to A beautiful song for some reason. I think it's the design

>Dang. After all this time Nier can still send me down a rabbit hole XD

Same I might replay it. Its been sometime imma do that after I finish silksong

saberwriter762026-01-17 03:12

Same. That and Replicant

D-U-R-232026-01-17 00:16

Answering your question about the Kuuhenki thing.
No, Columbina is probably not talking with herself and Kuuhe nki are probably their own beings.

This is also nothing new as that is exactly how Melusines came into being. A part of Elynas got blown up and the Melusines literally were born out of those blown off chunks of Elynas' body, I'd guess that something similar is the case with the Kuuhenki.

Iffem2026-01-17 01:49

>the Melusines literally were born out of those blown off chunks of Elynas' body,

not quite

they were made when a mek exploded in Elynas from the pieces that embedded into the walls... which were made of Elynas

Z000Burst2026-01-17 02:23

Melusine is made out of multiple stuff really

alchemize abyssal flesh of Elynas

Arhke stuff from the mek

fontainian flesh which is actually water mimicking flesh using primal water (hey, people die in that fight between the cop and renne doom cult)

man, that one bomb sure cause one heck of a mix

Iffem2026-01-17 02:28

ah, right, forgot they had people bits, too

Pale_Avocado_32692026-01-18 09:10

Closer example would probably be the Pari, and maybe the Aranara

atabar932026-01-17 00:38

Another one: Columbina is rocking herself in her idle animation

Boner_Elemental2026-01-17 06:28

Columbina talking to Ei: "Familiar? Is this Yae Miko also a piece of your soul?"

thatsunavabitch2026-01-17 00:47

She converts her body to kuuvahki, otherwise what was the kuuvahki she showed to the trio? Her toes?? 😂

DevonicGamer762026-01-17 00:59

Nothing Passage kuuvahki phenomenon wasn't really "spontaneous", was it? The researchers managed to identify semi-sentient entities inside the kuuvahki, but they only started consuming life after being taught to do this, and they even had mental alignments that disapproved of this act, which they had to be trained out of (which eventually of course became the downfall of the research operations)

No-Particular-42092026-01-17 01:39

If anybody remembers the god of salt quest from liyue
Gods dying and their corpse can be really dangerous

SevenSwords77777772026-01-17 01:59

The Renir and Kuuhenki are hanging out in a area filled with Kuuvahki. Is the area made of flesh? Or is the they made of area? They silently brood since they cannot scream.

I am scared of OP's Genshin cooking skills

unktrial2026-01-17 02:38

As far as we know, Columbina only made 1 Kuuhenki, the Luonnotar, and it took a piece of her soul. In other words, the other Kuuhenki aren't spontaneous sentience but rather remnant souls of the other beings interacting with kuuvaki.

BigJuicech2026-01-17 03:13

So, isn't Columbina kinda like Genshin Jesus?

Jnliew2026-01-17 04:46

Genshin Jesus is literally Furina, Act 5 might as well be beat for beat Jesus' crucifiction

Columbina is more... hmm... there are countless gods from countless religions who die and become the land and earth, so we just need one who revives afterwards

Serpentarrius2026-01-17 06:22

Did they confirm if Capitano's symbol is the three nails? If so, then he might be Jesus...

AEsylumProductions2026-01-17 03:25

Consider that each time we eat eggs we're eating chicken menstruation or that when we eat fruits we're eating tree jizz, it's not all that bad.

In all seriousness it's the Ship of Theseus idea. Everything in every one of us that's not hydrogen were forged in stars and spilled out when they die. We're all stardust. Parts of us will drop off or be expelled and eventually become part of someone else but each individual is still who they are.

SectorApprehensive582026-01-17 04:09

Very interesting 'food' for thought. Slightly off topic, why did rerir carry memories from tholindis' perspective? Was that explained yet?

madicetea2026-01-17 09:46

I want to say it was a part of the moon prison paradox thing affecting them, and has something to do with why the version of Tholindis Columbina Hyposelenia meets in the moon prison seems to have some incomplete polygons hanging off her soul, but no, I feel there is still a lot of the explanation missing there.

NeonSystemx2026-01-17 04:19

Wait wait, if you have sex with Rerir are you technically having sex with Columbina too??? /j

MauricioTrinade2026-01-17 04:47

About kuuvakhi radioactivity, this is the energy besides abyssal energy that makes you bleed (rifthounds and kuuvakhi pulse), If i'm not wrong. It makes sense If kuuvakhi is just light energy.

CrimsonSaens2026-01-17 06:11

TBF, the Colors Out of Space Kuuvahki were experimented on by Fatui scientists and seemed to chill out quickly once the Fatui in the vicinity were eliminated.

Spires_of_Arak2026-01-17 06:16

There's also pieces of Eternal Moon scattered around, so they probably somehow influenced Nod-Krai too.

wings2tsubasa2026-01-17 06:25

We have a little Columbina inside us too.

And I welcome it.

I think that Kuuhenki talking to Columbina is more like a Melusine talking to Elynas than anything else

Zaazuka2026-01-17 10:04

Also the whole ecosystem itself works around recycling bits of Columbinas body

caucassius2026-01-17 10:17

just waiting for the fourth impact now

Dazzling-Resolve66152026-01-17 16:17

For the point about columbina being a mutagen, all gods (their bodies specifically) does that when consumed anyway, those beasts probably just ate one too many kuuvahki laden fruits

On the other hand, given that kuuvahki is “light realm energy” (iirc) and it’s connection to gravity/electromagnetism I think it is safe to say columbina (or rather, Trilunar Authority) governs the four fundamental forces (weak, strong, electromagnetic, gravity), it is safe to say Kuuvahki when contained improperly, is a hazardous mutagen (oversimplification: weak force is responsible for radioactive decay of elements, this lines up with why some Kuuvahki laden rocks are immersed in water pools in the Fatui research facility— it’s basically spent nuclear fuel)

ohoni2026-01-17 21:47

>The Fatui researchers that died in the Colors Out of Space /Nothing Passage quest were eaten by pieces of Columbina that spontaneously gained sentience and decided to eat human flesh

I view that one as being outside of the normal Kuuvhaki system, at least the "weirdness" of it. There were Kuuvahki energies at play, but perhaps only being used as fuel by the motivating forces at play.

goopydo2026-01-18 06:41

One moment. Going to hug Columbina to test if I mutate.
