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.
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
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!
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.
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! 🙏
Very solid theory. Truly Gemini is the Ordis of LoP.
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
Been waiting for some one who eould goo deep in this gamee as lies of P is a game i really adoree....thank uu
I love how thorough this analysis was, the concepts for the Legendary Stalker and Gemini were a really cool touch! Also I'd be interested to see your thoughts on how Gemini is connected to Carlo, especially if he's the one who trained him
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!
loved the theory. thanks for making the video
Thanks for watching the video and letting me know you liked it!
The theory vid i've been searching for all week... knew it'd exist eventually!
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!
Very interesting theory, quite convincing. I do hope we get more information about Gemini on future updates.
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 so much for this video! Super underrated channel, dude! I'm so curious to see where they go with Gemini
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 was wondering about the Path of the Cricket, amazing theory. I'll be around for more videos of the game, thanks for this one.
Thanks for the comment! I'm working on my next video now so hopefully I'll have that out soon
Interesting hypotheses. BTW the vision on the beach are memories from Carlo's past life. It makes sense that only our character can see them.
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
Absolutely mindblowing. Read those item descriptions people!! Instant sub from me
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!
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! The Souls games themselves get a lot of love, but the Soulslikes rarely get much coverage, stuff like Salt & Sanctuary, Death's Gambit, Nioh, and of course Lies of P. Regardless, this video was fun and well researched, seeing your passion was infectious. Good stuff!
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!
Oh man, I am stuck on Laxasia so I had to stop watching pretty early but I will definitely come back to finish this vid when I complete the game. I like your style though, subbed!
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!
I just ended the game and got the best ending kinda by accident and I’m so interested about the lore. I love stuff like this
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 😂
Thanks this video made me like gemini and find him interesting, instead of just annoying with his unnecessary comments. Pretty cool
That's a fantastic compliment! Thank you!
Love your lore and theories. 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 😊
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!
interested to see how this plays out in the DLC :)
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
since gemini has a track record with sophia and the memories on the beach is think there was a revolt gemmi was the model serving with the legendery stalker think sophia got captured because she could comunicate with ergo and shaped the gemini model to develop the path of the cricket so gemini aka p are most likely the same model a gemini model created to learn and shaped by sophia gemini chirps and us being able to comunicate with ergo allows us to hear him through sophias power to comunicate through ergo
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.
Is Gemini the helper you get when you fight bosses?
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.
In my 4 or 5 play throughs, I never used those pills. Maybe if you feed him enough pills, something happens???
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 :)
What if we play as Gemini in the DLC??!!!!!
Ha, that would be pretty crazy and unexpected, for sure!
Bro what if in the new DLC this is all cleared up, and the legendary stalker still lives and is corrupted or you have to fight them? hmmm interesting ways they can go about this. maybe Dorothy will help.... WHAT IF THE END THE NAMELESS PUPPET when he is let off his Strings in the 2nd phase, IS THE GEMINI puppet and was just wiped or something.... hmm also i am still watching the video im at 22:50
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!
