Joserf is the real Joserf cos he knows things susbedo couldn't know and was covered in blood when he woke up. Durin's blood and power is known to be able to resurrect people (the previous event boss, this event boss).
Disappearing mark Albedo is likely Susbedo cos all of real Albedo's conversations indicate he thinks his mark is incredibly important and wouldn't fuck it with it just to make a prank. Unless he did, in which case whatever.
My own little extra point based on the Chinese.
So I don't know what it's like in the English and Japanese VA, but in Chinese real Albedo speaks very softly and feels gentle. Susbedo spoke more harshly, it was very noticeable. Potential Susbedo in Mondstadt at the end of this quest was halfway between these two in terms of tone. Talking about the manner of speaking, tone, harshness in the voice, features of the sound and emoting, not the words used.
It's likely meant to be ambiguous, but I prefer that it be Susbedo slowly learning rather than Albedo doing something out of character.

I had to eat a lot of food to survive the boss fights on Inazuma, the dang tree tumor can die in a fire. I was on WL 5 for the Shogun fight I think. There was a lot of cursing and stalling as Diona involved. I'm not entirely sure what the win condition is, but I don't believe you need to get her to 0HP, for me, stuff happened in the fight, then I dodged around a lot, then the fight was over. You're in Act 2?
I don’t know what act 2 means. It’s the vision hunt decree meeting. (Having that cutscene be unskippable to get into the boss fight sucks.)
I just meant the quest name, it'll be "Chapter 3: Act 2: The Sublimation of Shadow" or "Chapter 3: Act 3: Omnipresence over mortals", I didn't want to spoil anything if you haven't gotten to it! From checking more reliable sources:
You only need to get her to 75% health, then there will be a cutscene, then you just have to survive for a bit longer.

When you meet the actual Subject Two after Albedo goes into the cave, he immediately gives away how amoral he is in dialogue, shortly before trying to throw Joel to monsters in the wasteland.
The likelihood he'd then show up in Mondstadt to give a long monologue about how Paimon only cares about saving fruit because she doesn't have enough of it, but if she just had more good fruit, she wouldn't be so obsessed (a direct parallel to Subject Two's desire to take Albedo's life and friends for himself because he has nothing) is pretty low. And he has even less reason to show the traveler a pontil mark before disappearing it.
...and of course, as always, Kill Hitler.

Yes but.
He's as smart as Albedo, and constantly learning how to adapt to humans.
Albedo disappearing a mark he considers a birthmark, when he's never shown any ability to change his own appearance (subject 2 has been shown to be capable of this, Albedo has not) is also lacking evidence.
Basically the evidence points to both equally, as any good deliberately ambiguous scene should, but I'm leaning to two arbitrarily because I don't like that Albedo changes his mark just to fuck with the traveller. It's poor character writing. That birthmark is extremely special to him.

I definitely have plenty of food to get through the fight then. Hell I even crafted a few 25% electro damage reduction potions to help.

That's the point. He shows us he has the ability to hide it, as does Subject Two, but keeps it because it's special to him. Not only that, but Albedo is actually a quiet prankster, as we've seen before, so this is in his nature. In Golden Apple Archipelago, he knows Alice is behind it all but lets it play out with a smile, and lets Diluc and Kaeya feud for his amusement, not to mention "how about I summon seven Oceanids for you to fight?" and some of his other subtler jibes.
Subject Two is certainly smart, but he doesn't have rapport with people, or really a good understanding of them at all. He hasn't lived with them like Albedo has for years. And he has no reason to quickly disappear the mark before reapplying it as a prank on the Traveler when he is trying to fit in, especially when, in Albedo's interpretation of S2's plan, killing the Traveler along with Albedo is paramount to assuming Albedo's identity.
Having it be Subject Two here leads to much more confusion than it being Albedo playing a small and, importantly, very private prank.

Yes he likes pranks, and I'm fully aware of his joking nature, but at the cost of his own integrity? That birthmark is of extreme personal importance. I doubt. He doesn't read as that kind of person. That leaves a giant hole in his persona. How do we know anything he says is really true if he's willing to say "I value this thing above all others" then turn around and go "psyche do I really have it? wink"
The sheer fact that we can even have this argument with you being so determined and me being "I see your point but" is a sign of how good the ambiguity is.
Although I guess you don't see it as ambiguous, since you seem pretty convinced.
Also the confusion is the point of ambiguity.

Finished off the event today and was super disappointed even though it was certainly because my expectations were too high. I saw I got a purple Blade Pup item moved to my inventory, and my first thought was to look in the gadget tab thinking we got an actual pet to follow us around. When it wasn't there, I was like well the description says it fights, so maybe its actually a companion and takes a slot in your party?! But no, wasn't there either. Finally I checked the teapot furnishings, and there it was. I mean, I'm happy to have it in the teapot, but my first two expectations would have been so much cooler!

I got the hunch that Albedo wouldn't do that particular prank with anyone else because of how much he trusts the traveler. They know just how important that mark is to Albedo, and they would be the only one to really notice and think it off.
How am I supposed to prevent the giant robots from destroying the vault?
It's a tough fight. The main thing to remember is that Ruin Guards have high physical resistance, so they're more vulnerable to elemental combo attacks like Vaporise and Melt. You'll need to aggro them onto you as best you can and avoid the rockfalls. But if it's too hard, it can be better to just come back to it later with better weapon levels, artifacts, etc.

I went wandering around with electro compass to grab some chests and stuff I've left behind since I'm a lazy explorer and not once but twice in a row I solved a puzzle by fighting enemies on it. First one of those stone cube things had some monsters near it and mid-fight I saw a chest appear, then I gave a bunch of treasure hunters an ass-kicking on top of a pressure plate puzzle and it got solved during the battle as well.
Still only lvl 35 tree so there's still a bunch of stuff left. I never 100% all of Liyue either, if a trial or puzzle starts to annoy me I have the tendency to just walk away.

i thought i could maximise my amber returns by doing the weapon wish for a brief second; it would mean the 5*s wouldnt be useless characters, but possibly 5* bows/weapons and 4*s
I was halfway to 50/50 pity on the character banner, and I did 70 pulls trying to get a good amount of Gorou and a shot at Itto, and instead I got 2 Itto's and 2 Gorou's. I'll take that.
I just did another 30 because the initial stuff I'm hearing is that getting Itto's C2 would be better than getting the actual sword, and I got him within 30 pulls. 3 5*s in a row without missing on the 50/50, will never have that luck again. Plus another gorou so they're both at C2.
200 pulls, first 5 star was c4 Jean which I’ll take since she’s awesome. Then on my guaranteed Itto I get this:
Qiqi came second so pretty much perfect timing to reset pity with the 50/50. Managed to also eke out a c6 gorou with the next Itto. Only ending at c1, but got a couple weeks to keep trying. So anyways, not as great as I was hoping but definitely not the worst.
Edit:
I lied, it totaled out to 230-ish wishes since I burned all my glitter. I think I got all my Ittos in the first 200 though

Right up his alley.
The same way you deal with every other problem in this game, murder them all. I remember it being a tough fight but I somehow managed on my first try.

And as has been said, you can just go to Mondstadt or Liyue too.
