Thanks for the comment and the encouragement; I appreciate it!

That could definitely make for some interesting plot points. Imagine if Gemini gets damaged again and his second personality becomes corrupted and he becomes the villain, a mastermind that can manipulate Ergo. Though I guess all you'd need to do to stop him is throw him in a river or something

I'm not sure if you're being rhetorical or asking this small-potatoes-content-creator directly, but a more important question to ask is: why does Gemini speaks like a modern RUclipsr? Is he from the future? Do you think he says "What is up" to his friends? 🤔

@@inspektahmcduck I'm asking you and anyone else who wants to answer. It seems like one of those things some RUclipsrs started doing, and other new RUclipsrs parroted that thinking that's how intros should start without really ever thinking "wait, what am I saying? I don't talk like this normally" and the cycle repeats. Gemini doesn't seem to speak like a modern RUclipsr, he speaks like a youth pastor from the 2000's.

@@chrispysaid Ah, well if you're asking me seriously then I'll answer you seriously. I can't speak for anyone else, but I started doing it ironically for the exact reasons you listed- before I was even making videos. I like to make jokes IRL with my friends when I do mundane things. "What is UP guys, it's ya boy, sitting here eating a garden salad, with my lemonade, you know how we do, got extra croutons today, YOLO" and all that. I've always thought that video blog style of intro was dumb and over-the-top, so I adopted it as a parody when I started making videos. It's the same reason I end my videos by saying "I'm out, peace." But now I guess the irony is gone and I've become the very thing I was rebelling against to begin with...! It's a good question though and if my intros started with how I actually greet people then I'd smile and look away while muttering "heyhowsitgoing." Anyway, keep calling people out for their unoriginal crap, me included. It's good conversation. Also the 2000's youth pastor comparison is spot on and I'm embarrassed I didn't think of it myself.

ANOTHER THOUGHT! Gemini was found by a pool of blood. If he was a puppet, he may have been affected by the frenzy if he didn't have an awaken ego. He might have been damaged BY the legendary stalker, whom he attacked. The stalker may have had a hand in transporting P. He could have been intended to be the NEW Gemini to accompany the stalker as a way to get Ergo for the new Carlo!

@@windwardhook4447 Great connections and theories! I've been trying to figure out the mystery behind the Saintess Statue for a while now and using it to resurrect Gemini was not something I had considered at all. I really like the potential implications behind that theory. As for the bit about the Legendary Stalker/Gemini/Carlo connections, I also really like the way you're thinking there. At this point I really don't think we have enough information to point us in one direction or another, so within our own headcannons is where we have to live for now. However, I'm working on my own personal theory and I do think that The Legendary Stalker had something to do with P and Gemini in the train, that's for sure. Thanks for the thoughtful comments!

Thanks! The record drop is really what got me questioning everything about that character and the area. I appreciate the comment!

The whole mystery around Valentinus "dying" and Sophia going missing can be interpreted so many different ways, and I agree that it's possible Valentinus didn't have to swear on Sophia's life--but either way he was forced into hiding for one reason or another. As for the Legendary Stalker: I'm actually working on a script for my next video which will be about her and am excited to get working on it. Antonia is definitely the most popular theory out there and you raise a lot of good points, but I have a different theory that, right or wrong, is pretty fun to think about. Stay tuned!

Thank you! I hope we get some more information too, and honestly it would be great if I ended up being completely wrong and his backstory is something I'd never even considered. I love how things can be interpreted in so many different ways.

Thanks for your feedback! Definitely some logical leaps here but that's the essence of creating a theory in the first place; I could be completely wrong but it's fun to think about as a possibility. What evidence do you think I'm lacking, and how could I present the information differently next time? Are there some key details that I missed?

@@inspektahmcduck what are you talking about?

@@codyrabida1278 You said my evidence is lacking for certain and that it's poorly presented, so I was just curious what you would have done differently so that I can take that stuff into consideration and improve my future videos; I'm always open to feedback and criticism and finding better ways to do things.

@@inspektahmcduck I never said that, but I agree with whoever did say that. You should take his advice, whatever it was he said.

@@codyrabida1278 A sagelike response. I will heed these words

I've actually been working on that theory for a while but there's even less information about her than there is the Hermit. I think I'm getting close enough to make a video about it though, so stay tuned!

Ha, it's nice to see so many other people getting hyped about the lore and story of this game. It's fun playing "what if" and thinking about all the possibilities. That being said, a common theory is that the Nameless Puppet is actually put together using a combination of puppet parts and pieces of Carlo's corpse, since Gepetto uses it to revive Carlo in the Real Boy ending. I'm not entirely sure what I believe but it's fun to speculate. Teaming up with Dorothy would definitely be cool!

To add on to this: as to why Paracelsus' cure seems to work while the alchemists turn people into monsters, maybe the secret lies in the dosage? The real life Paracelsus (born as Theophrastus von Hohenheim) was an alchemist who was most famous for emphasizing the importance of dosing in distinguishing between toxicity and treatment. Perhaps the only difference in the two cures is the dosage levels

Thanks for commenting! A lot of interesting things here. First, I agree about Sophia and the butterfly--I always assumed she was communicating with the Hermit via ergo and not by sending a butterfly. That being said, why she has a separate identity as the Blue Butterfly or Blue Fairy is something I haven't figured out yet. Either way I don't think the Hermit knew that the Blue Fairy and Sophia are the same entity, but we have no evidence to support or contrast this so it's all speculation. Second, I don't think Valentinus ever took the fake cure. The lore from the cave mentions the water being corrupted ("the water is strange, I'm not sure when it started but my tears and blood have also turned blue"), so I take that to mean that the water from the swamp is what mutated him. I know Medoro's note mentions that the mutations are side effects from the neutralization process, but I think he was just making assumptions about the Hermit. Third, in the collectible we find called Simon Manus's Confession, Simon writes that he wants a world without lies because he could read his creator's mind (whether that's his father or someone else is unclear) and knew that he was viewed as a failure. I won't type it all out here but check out that for more info. Either way Simon knew exactly what the fake cure did and he spread it intentionally in his quest to find immortality, so I don't think the cure has anything to do with him wanting a world without lies. Finally, I've done a few playthroughs where I decide to ignore certain characters or actions, and the two things the game forces you into no matter what are relationships with Alidoro and Giango. If you ignore both of them they still end up where they need to be, and I think that's mostly because they're important merchants and the devs don't want you locked out of the unique items and quests they provide. There may be some lore reasons to back it up but I think it's a bit simpler than that. Either way it's all fun stuff to think about.

Comments like this make my day! Thanks a ton. Once I started playing Lies of P I was surprised at how quickly most of the big Souls lore channels dropped it as a topic because it felt like there was still so much information to be uncovered. I came upon this conclusion about the Hermit accidentally when I was doing research for my Gemini video and it's neat how things like this can fall into place when you least expect it. I appreciate the support!

@@inspektahmcduck I agree that there is so much lore hunting and speculation potential in Lies of P, many of the larger lore channels either made one plot summary type video or never even touched it. Unfortunately I think even many souls fans just dismissed the game entirely as too hard for being heavily reliant on parrying, as they were expecting it to play like most souls games where dodging is the main defensive action. But for me I actually like Lies of P's parry focused combat much more than Dark Souls lol, I remember another youtuber describing it as "dodging is a defensive action that feels defensive, parrying is a defensive action that feels offensive" which really captured why Lies of P feels so good to me

@@fish963 That's a great way to put it and I agree 100%. The combat and parry system is so addictive that I'm worried Elden Ring won't be any fun the next time I go back to play it. Lies of P might be my favorite combat system of any game I've ever played. As for other souls fans dismissing it, I think a lot of people heard it was a "Bloodborne clone" and never gave it a fair shot. Lies of P does borrow a ton of elements from Souls games but it truly feels unique and worthy of standing on its own, and I feel like some people never gave it enough time to realize that.

Great question, but no--I don't think so. A popular theory is that it's actually you (Gepetto's puppet) from the future or an alternate timeline. If you look at the weapon the Specter uses in each boss fight, it's the weapon that you're able to get by trading that boss's soul to Alidoro...so we can assume that the Specter comes from a place where he has already defeated that particular boss and obtained the related weapon. Plus, if you've raised your Humanity enough in the game to grow your hair out, you'll see that the Specter's hair is a similar style to that, though actually a bit longer than yours. And finally, if you can get a good look at him, it appears that he's got a Legion Arm as well. Does any of this prove that he's Gepetto's Puppet? No, but it makes him the most likely candidate based on the information we have.

Ha, that would be pretty crazy and unexpected, for sure!

I appreciate this so much, and I definitely have plans for more. Thanks for commenting!

Thanks for the comment and the question! I touched on this starting at 31:52, but my theory is that since he was damaged at the start of the game then he's basically running on "emergency power" so to speak--until we meet Sophia at the Hotel and interact with her. Once we've come into contact directly with Sophia, whose Ergo makes up a big chunk of Gemini's composition, he is essentially recharged back to full power and able to think/speak clearly. It's the same as receiving an audio transmission through a weak signal versus a strong one, so using your example I guess you could say Gemini only had enough power to broadcast over AM when he was damaged but once he recharged he was in full "Bluetooth" mode. Hope that helps!

Nice! It's a fun "hidden" area to explore that adds even more mystery to an already-great story. Glad you like the vids!

Ha, I'm glad you stopped watching! It's worth experiencing the story of this game firsthand and obviously wouldn't have the same impact on you if you got a ton of spoilers. As for Laxasia, I know you didn't ask for any tips but a big thing that helped me personally was learning to parry her lighting at the very beginning of Phase 2. If you can time it right and knock each bolt back towards her it cuts her health down nearly by half. Good luck!

@@inspektahmcduck oh thanks for the tip!

Thanks for the feedback! I'm glad you liked the video. And don't worry--I do have plans for another video where I talk about Camille, Gepetto, and Carlo. :)

@@inspektahmcduck awensone... means that already you noticed her and "them" 👍

I considered including that information in this video but ultimately it's meant to be about Gemini and not the Legendary Stalker. Talking about La Bleiwies doesn't necessarily give us any additional insight or clues into who Gemini is so I decided to omit it. That being said, I am planning on making a video about the Legendary Stalker so I will definitely include it there. Thanks for the feedback!

As far as I can tell, with all of the information we have at this exact moment, this is what makes the most sense to me, though who knows? Maybe we'll end up getting more info later that completely turns this theory upside down

Thanks, I appreciate the feedback! I may end up making a Gemini pt. 2 video some day where I dive deep into speculation territory but for now I'm focusing on finding content for other vids to make. In other words--I haven't formed any thoughts around Gemini + Carlo that are solid enough to discuss just quite yet, but maybe some day

@@inspektahmcduck That's fair enough, excited to see what other theories you have in store!

It's a fantastic game. I've been hooked on it since last November and haven't put it down!

I'm glad you enjoyed this one too! The Souls games all have very intricate lore that's impossible to solve without reading the description of everything you find in the game, so I'm used to scouring through details and trying to find answers. I appreciate your support!

I'm back and you are too! Though I'm most likely done with Disney Heroes videos for good and will focus on other games moving forward. As for Lies of P: it's not a mobile game. If you owned it on PC or a console then you could find a way to stream it to your phone but I know that's not what you're asking, so unfortunately no, you can't play it on your phone.

I agree, Medoro has such a strong presence and knowing that he was friends with Venigni, Sophia, and Alidoro makes me curious to learn more about his story and what he uncovered. I have a feeling they won't expand upon him any more in the DLC but I would love it if they would prove me wrong!

That's a fantastic compliment! Thank you!

Thanks for the comment! I'm working on my next video now so hopefully I'll have that out soon

Thanks for watching the video and letting me know you liked it!

Nice, congrats! It's definitely worth doing at least one more playthrough and choosing different lie/truth options so that you can see the different interactions with the characters. Plus every time you play through you'll pick up more of the lore bits and start making connections. It's so gratifying.

@@inspektahmcduck yup started a ng+ like a day after 😂

That's a great connection and would be an awesome inclusion in the DLC. The main issue with the Path of the Cricket and the Legendary Stalker is that we really have absolutely no other (obvious) lore around them, other than she is credited with the style; we have no idea how many other people learned the style or what happened to her in the first place. There are floating theories that she could be Antonia (I disagree), the Lady in the Window (plausible), or someone else entirely. I actually just developed a new theory on that and am hoping to put it into a video before the DLC releases. Either way it would be awesome if we get to meet (and fight) her in the DLC!

@@inspektahmcduck that's awesome, keep it up. Btw, the video's edits is well done,👌, the game's sound track, backgrounds and front used were very spot on, I'd love to see more of your videos like this.👍

@@dt4493 Thank you! I put a lot of time into making sure the edits were good so I appreciate your feedback! 🙏

Thanks, I appreciate the comment! Admittedly I've only played a few soulslikes and spend most of my time on Fromsoft games themselves, but Lies of P hooked me like nothing else. I've already started working on my next Lies of P lore video so keep an eye out for it soon!

Exactly! I've had lore conversations with people who develop entire theories based on very little evidence and I wanted to approach things a bit more responsibly. Once I started digging into Gemini more I was surprised at how much information is actually there. Thanks for the comment and the sub!

I didn't say it outright in my video but yes, I do think that the Gemini model and Gepetto's puppet are very similar in that they're both capable of using ergo to learn and grow, but the main difference is that Gemini has the power to store ergo and grow from it on his own, whereas we can't store ergo ourselves and we need someone else to help us transform it into power. However, instead, we have the P-Organ and are able to use that to teach ourselves new techniques, something I don't think Gemini had.

I didn't know what you meant by Ordis so I had to look it up. I don't know anything about Warframe but you taught me something today!

Never thought i’d see a Warframe reference on a LoP video

It does make sense that only our character can see them, but it's also interesting that Sophia is aware of them and tells us to "be careful." And a big part of me wonders if they're actually from the perspective of someone else who witnessed all of these events, because why else would Carlo have a memory of his own death? Lots to think about for sure

Awesome, I'm glad you liked the video enough to decide to comment! I'd never considered that Paracelsus was talking to The Legendary Stalker on the phone but that could be an interesting connection for sure. And as for lore details--it always pays to read all of the item descriptions and take notes!

Me too! I'm hoping for some answers, but I also have a feeling the DLC will just introduce new lore for us to go crazy over

Thanks, I appreciate the compliment! I'm curious to see where they go with him too. At the very least I want to know what happened in the train car at the start of the game

I've never used them either. I bet if you feed him enough pills he gets super hyper and starts bouncing around the lamp like he's had 12 cups of coffee :)

You made my week! Thank you so much for your comments! When I first got into Lies of P and started looking for lore videos, Gemini is the first one I tried to find and I was disappointed that no one was talking about him. At first I assumed it was because of the total lack of information in the game, but the more I played and the more clues I picked up on I realized that there was more to his story than it seemed and I felt like I owed it to myself to make my first lore video about him. I'm so glad you enjoyed the video, and I appreciate you pointing out the effort I put into the editing and graphics too. I also hope we learn a little more about Gemini in the DLC. Lies of P is one of my favorite games of all time and I can't get enough of it!

I agree completely. I played through the game a few times and picked up more details each time, which really got me thinking and helped me realize that there was more information related to Gemini's story than it seemed at first. Thanks for watching the video and I appreciate your comment!

Ha, I appreciate you saying so! A big reason I wanted to make it is because I didn't see any Gemini lore videos either. I hope you enjoyed it!
