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!

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!

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 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!

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 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

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!

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for the comment!

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!

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

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.

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! 🙏

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!

Thanks for watching the video and letting me know you liked 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

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!

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

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

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!

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 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!

That's a fantastic compliment! Thank you!

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 KZfaqr? 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 KZfaqrs started doing, and other new KZfaqrs 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 KZfaqr, 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.

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

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 :)

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

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, 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!

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.

That's exactly what it is, except it's not a total fabrication and was built by research and evidence. That's part of what I love about this game--the ambiguities that give you just enough information to help you piece together a theory that makes the most sense to you, but that same information can easily be interpreted differently by someone else. Do you have a personal theory about Gemini that differs from mine?

No, I just meant like, old vaatividya felt like he was uncovering the truth hidden in the game. This I am less convinced by, but I’ll think about it though.

@@pastafarian7 Oh sure, Vaati's a pro, and--not trying to make excuses here--but this is the first time I've attempted to figure out lore on my own. 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.
