If you’ve been to Inazuma, you’ve probably heard of the character Baal in Genshin Impact. There are plenty of playable characters in Genshin Impact, the anime-styled multiplayer RPG, but there are lots of past characters as well that add to the lore of the game. In this guide, we will take you through who was Baal in Genshin Impact, and how her tragic death happened.
Baal in Genshin Impact: Who is She and How Did She Die?
You will hear the name of the Electro Archon Baal a lot as you progress story the story (and pay attention to the lore), starting from the archipelagic region of Inazuma. Baal also has a second name, which is Makoto. She ruled Inazuma alongside her sister Ei aka Beelzebub 500 years before the story begins.
Baal is the first and original Electro Archon in Genshin Impact after her sister sacrificed herself to allow her to rule. However, with her newfound Archon powers, Baal was able to revive Ei and rule together. Ei became the second Electro Archon, however, the people of Inazuma still refer to Baal when they’re talking about the Electro Archon that rules them.
While the twin sisters were in charge, Baal dealt with the political affairs of the region, while Ei focused on fighting. Baal was known to be soft-hearted with a distaste for violence. Although they had different styles of ruling, they reigned in harmony until Baal perished in the attack of Khaenri’ah. Ei was unable to save her sister in time, which made a tragic death for the Electro Archon.
Baal is not a playable character in Genshin Impact, but you can still play as Raiden Shogun, who was created by Ei to rule Inazuma in her absence. Ei is Raiden’s true identity, but otherwise, she is merely a ferocious puppet with a headstrong demeanor and a thirst for bloodshed.
That’s all you need to know about Baal in Genshin Impact. As she died more than five centuries before the game’s storyline begins, it is not possible to play her as a character. However, her tragic death affects the course of the game as you will see on meeting Raiden Shogun.
