We’re kicking off our look back at Albedo’s past storylines!
For this post, we’ve received permission to share a wonderfully easy-to-follow comic created by:

Please refer to the English translation included in the thread!

1. Albedo’s Story Quest Ending
Albedo: “Thanks. If anything comes up, I’ll ask again.”
There was… something uneasy about the way he said it.

2. Dragonspine Special Event Begins
Sucrose: “Ah! Traveler! Something’s up with the Chief Alchemist—I can tell! If you’re free, could you help uncover his secret?”
Traveler: “Just got back from the mountain… but okay!”

3. Back to Dragonspine
Traveler & Paimon: “Albedo~!”
Albedo: “Oh? What brings you two back? Did you lose your way again?”
Traveler: “Are you hiding something?”
Paimon: “Yeah! Out with it! Paimon’s got a sixth sense for secrets!”

4. A Mysterious Sword
Albedo: “Perfect timing. I need you to take this sword—it’s part of my research, but it’s cursed and can only be wielded by you. I need combat data.”
(Festering Desire obtained!)

5. Trouble with Treasure Hoarders
Treasure Hoarders: “Thief!!”
Traveler: “Calling us thieves? You’re the real ones!”
Albedo: “That was faster than expected.”

6. Questionable Sword Origins
Traveler: “Wait, it’s stolen?”
Albedo: “What kind of look is that? It’s a confiscated item.”
Traveler: “Still not great…”

7. Now the Fatui, Too
Fatui agents attack out of nowhere.
Albedo: “Did you provoke them somehow? Or… perhaps they’re after the sword’s power—equal to that of a god.”

8. Why the Traveler?
Albedo: “Why entrust you with it? Perhaps... we’re both ‘anomalies.’ A shared recognition among outliers.”
Traveler: “...Huh?”

9. Sucrose Gets Her Report
Sucrose: “This sword is amazing! But… how did the Professor realize it was so special to begin with?”

10. Later…
The Traveler meets the ever-unlucky Joel’s father (again), only to get ambushed by the Fatui (again).
Albedo shows up with full-on lecture mode.

11. Festering Misunderstanding
Frozen and exhausted, Joel’s father mistakes the Festering Desire’s glow for warmth. The Traveler tries to stop him—
…and gets touched. Awkwardly.

12. The Real Threat Appears
The impact tosses the sword, and the dormant power of Durin seeps into the land…
—awakening a Cryo Regisvine!
Albedo: “Everyone, prepare for battle!” (Cool team leader moment!)

13. After the Battle
Albedo: “I’ve extracted all of the purified life essence from the sword. It’s yours now.”
Final Monologue
Albedo: “The dragon’s power resonates with me…
Not because I’m a dragon. But because of causality.
Master Rhinedottir… Is this what became of Durin, your creation?
Was this encounter truly meant to happen…?”
