    I've been waiting for someone to talk about this!! The item description was what got me thinking about Gemini's origins even before that memory at the Isle of Alchemists, which really only made me question things more after I saw it. This game has so many little lore breadcrumbs sprinkled throughout and it's just fascinating to dig into.

    • @inspektahmcduck
      @inspektahmcduck  Před 2 měsíci +1

      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!

    Please make more lies of p videos this was so good! I never comment but holy crap that’s so crazy! All of the implications about a sequel like what geminis former body will be like or how the legendary stalker seemed to be the one talking to Paracelsus so what kind of connection could they have from there… it’s all so exciting!! Thank you so much I never would have never noticed all these extra lore details

      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!

    I clicked this video so fast because I thought I would ever see someone talk about Gemini but here we are! I was so curious about Gemini and I knew already that some clues were left about him, especially the part with the legendary stalker, but you managed to find more information by reading the items description and the story you told makes sense to me. I hope they will include more things about Gemini in the future DLC. Also because I clicked this video so fast I didnt even realise how undderated you are! The video is great and I really liked the editing especially when you used the loading screen of Lies of P to explaing what you were talking about! Very great video keep up :)! Apart from that, Lies of p is such a beautiful game and I wish more people would talk about it or at least try it, I absolutely loved it, thank you for talking about it!

      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!

    Great video, thanks. What I felt was missing: La Bleiwies
    1. Note or flyer that even the legendary stalker liked it
    2. Old woman asking for it
    3. When finally finding it, Gemini also comments on this.
    Yeah, he also comments on other side quest finds.
    But this one might have a Gemini connection as well

    • @inspektahmcduck
      @inspektahmcduck  Před měsícem +2

      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!

    When you first started this theory I was skeptical, but you made a great argument that I really agree with!
    What if the staintess of mercy statue and Gemini have a connection? He makes a comment about the statue when you first encounter it, Sophia is there, and probably the most important piece of evidence, "A new life for an old puppet."
    Gemini may have been remade here after the amulet was attached.

    • @windwardhook4447
      @windwardhook4447 Před 26 dny

      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!

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!

    somehow, the pathway of the Cricket, its practitioners and coupled with your insights this highly reminded me of the Hunter of Hunters of BB, if you know you know, and boy hope that in the upcoming we get to meeting the legendary Stalker, the notion of her highly resemble that of those badass bosses, Maleina, Lady Maria and Sister Friede, so you know what i mean.

      @inspektahmcduck  Před 2 měsíci +2

      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!

    What is Gemini is developed more than affinity, and developed a second personality, the broken one that came about when Gemini was damaged and dying. Like a backup version that protects Gemini. The line "Gemini is fine," was not said by gemini

    • @inspektahmcduck
      @inspektahmcduck  Před 16 dny

      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

    Incredible theory and great video! I really loved watching this! Of course you can do what you want but, I think more videos like this would be really cool!

Lots to think about for sure

    One foggy area though, if Gemini was talking to us telepathically, then why was his voice all distorted and like a broken speaker in the beginning when we found him. Maybe it was both? Maybe he was using physical speakers first and after meeting Sophia connected the telepathic Bluetooth 😊

    • @inspektahmcduck
      @inspektahmcduck  Před měsícem

      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!

      @@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.

    • @inspektahmcduck
      @inspektahmcduck  Před měsícem +2

      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.

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!

      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.

There may be some relevant information in the game that I missed and that Vaati would have noticed, but I did my best to scour every detail and tie things together. I've found that what's different about Lies of P versus the Souls games is that the main story is told outright in a more straightforward manner, but the mysteries seem to have fewer clues surrounding them as a whole. Maybe the devs are holding out to give us more info in the DLC, or maybe we're never meant to know the answers; either way I was disappointed that Vaati didn't take the time to dive into Lies of P lore so that's why you get me instead of him. :) And I take absolutely no offense if you're not convinced by my theory, though I do hope you can at least recognize the significance of some of the evidence I've collected and maybe draw your own conclusions from there.
