The truth about the story of Ayato without a face has been quite controversial in the community when many people think that this is just a stage.
Recently, there’s been a stream of community content surrounding “faceless Ayato,” a seemingly malevolent entity in Genshin Impact’s strange server. The viral story started when a player uploaded a series of videos on TikTok, detailing their situation. This quickly gained attention, with many in the community pointing to a few strange coincidences.
While the authenticity of the story of Ayato without a face in Genshin Impact is questionable, it is undeniable that it has caused quite a stir in the community. So even if it turns out to be a hoax, it’s at least an interesting story. In fact, many people consider it part of the Genshin Impact lore, even if it is unofficial.
It all started when a main Diona player posted a series of videos on TikTok. The original videos had Russian subtitles but were later translated into English. In the video, players main detail that they downloaded the Genshin Impact game from an unofficial website and that strange things have happened in their Teyvat world since then. They have frequently seen an Ayato model malfunction despite being in single player mode. Plus, they don’t even own Ayato in Genshin Impact.
Another of their videos features both Itto and Ayato – again, in the single-player world. This time, the two character models are frozen, with Arataki Itto appearing and trying to push Genshin Impact’s Ayato over the edge. However, another video shows Ayato posing on a cliff. This is where players can finally get a closer look at their faces, revealing the “faceless Ayato” that made the story so famous. According to players, these macabre events only happen at night.
These events are said to lead to a change in Itto’s character profile, which includes details that he murdered Ayato. Model of the faceless Ayato was later seen in the cemetery behind Mondstadt Church. Later, he appeared again by the large oak tree in Wind Origin and again with the Raiden Shogun at the Death Page Dawn. It’s also important to note that these 5-star characters are rumored to be reruns in Genshin Impact 3.3, so Diona’s protagonist may have had a recent Genshin Impact leak.
Many in the community are convinced that main player Diona’s story is nothing more than a staged hoax. They theorized that players simply got their hands on a modified copy of Genshin Impact (or they modified the game themselves) and staged events for TikTok videos. Others have even said that it is a less interesting version of Creepypasta Ben Drowned. However, quality aside, there’s no denying that the story of Ayato without a face has stirred the community by creating an alluring creepy pasta.
Since the TikTok videos were released, many users have posted fanart of the famous faceless Ayato model, some even including Faceless Itto and Raiden Shogun, along with the terrified Diona. There are also more fan-made TikTok channels, depicting the faceless Ayato as some sort of supernatural entity, similar to Minecraft’s Herobrine and even creatures from the Mandela catalog series on YouTube. .

Whether main player Diona’s story is true or not, it has been prevalent in the Genshin Impact community for a while, generating countless fanarts and theories regarding the game’s lore. Some even called it Genshin Impact’s first creepypasta. Perhaps this trend will cause more creepy player stories to spring up – for better or for worse. For now, however, the community is preoccupied with the faceless Ayato craze, and things may stay that way until Genshin Impact version 3.3 comes out.
