Step-by-Step: How to Replay Cutscenes
Method 1: Archive System
- Open your Paimon Menu (ESC on PC, Menu button on console)
- Navigate to Archive section
- Select Archon Quest or Story Quest tab
- Choose the quest containing your desired cutscene
- Click Play on the specific cutscene thumbnail
- Enjoy the rewatch with full audio and subtitles
Method 2: Quest Journal
- Access your Quest Journal
- Find completed quests under Story Quests or Archon Quests

What Cutscenes Can You Replay?
Archon Quests: Main storyline cinematics featuring regions’ Archons
Story Quests: Character-specific narrative scenes (requires Story Keys)
Event Cutscenes: Limited-time event cinematics (while event is active)
Character Demos: Official promotional videos accessible via Archive
Unfortunately, daily commission cutscenes and some world quest animations aren’t currently replayable—a limitation many players hope HoYoverse addresses in future updates.
Similar to story replay features in games like Honkai: Star Rail, Genshin’s archive system lets you revisit narrative highlights without replaying entire questlines.

Screenshot Mode: Pause cutscenes to capture perfect moments
Language Switching: Change voice language in settings before replay for different experience
Quality Settings: Max out graphics for cinematic replays if your device supports it
