Hoyoverse quietly dropped a major hint during the 5.8 livestream on July 18: Bennett’s constellation—the Wheel of Misfortune—was visible in the sky above the red-toned version of Mare Jivari. This marks a significant clue in a fan theory that’s been circulating for years. That cosmic glow isn’t just decoration—it may point to Bennett’s birthplace.
Why This Matters for Fans
This isn’t just trivia. This lore strand ties together Bennett’s mysterious past. We already knew he was found in a “fiery, windy place,” according to his second character story at friendship level three. And Mare Jivari was always thought to be a dead zone. But now, we see ash-filled skies with actual winds and sparks. That matches Bennett’s origin story perfectly. No longer is it speculation—it’s now backed by visual evidence.
Community Reaction and Theory Boost
On Reddit, lore enthusiasts are buzzing. One user celebrated:
“Benny is getting a Natlanese skin… So Benny is the real pyro archon memes have finally come true”
That comment nails it: the combination of lore visuals and his upcoming Natlan-style skin makes the connection feel undeniably real.
The Hunt for the Truth Begins
For players eager to dive deeper, here’s a simple plan: first, check out Mare Jivari’s corner in version 5.8. Pay close attention to the sky—your eyes may catch that glowing constellation. Then, dig into Bennett’s character story once you hit friendship level three. Combine those clues with the lines he wrote during Windblume Festival. Suddenly, patterns emerge, revealing the boy behind the bad luck.
