10 Sneakily Hidden Secrets in The Next Mass Effect’s Art

[@mandy607]

Maybe the slouching character is joker? He had a similar pose when you briefly play as him in ME2.

[@paragonseven]

Had the same thought. Just not enough to definitively say, but I'd LOVE if it was a nod to him.

[@MidratsSnack]

I needed this vid so bad after all the yucky gaming news. Thank you!

[@JeannieLove]

what yucky gaming news?

[@NotThatBob]

Paragon7 does it again. Her detective skills are amazing. We need her working crime cold case files.

[@cattableabby]

I love your ME videos so much! Even if fans need to really milk all the info possible from these older crumbs, I still love to hear them! Can't wait to see what you come up with if/when new N7 teasers happen!

[@paragonseven]

I'm beyond pumped for whatever they throw at us this N7 day. Gonna be another fun one!

[@ball2224]

Out of all speculations, yours are probably the most detailed and logical. Lots of people claim different stuff (like next antagonist being leviathan), but they hardly support their claims with lore or some sort of connections. If you’re right, next ME is gonna be lit. Great work!

[@Nicky_Heart]

I've found your channel only recently, and have been watching your vids over the past couple weeks (i've only just got into mass effect this year, i'm absolutely obsessed and in desperate need of ME content). I love your theories, especially the "unhinged" ones! The mud-skipper portion of your video i was like "holy moly where her mind goes..." I never would've thought of it being "multidimensional" skipper 😅 it's brilliant. thank you for making these videos!

[@sa1f43]

Its amazing how yall can figure out these things I could never. Thanks for keeping this series alive.

[@ROOKllE]

I honestly just need Shepard and Miranda back. But I don’t see Miranda being in the next game. If we’re lucky she’ll get a small cameo role, I just miss having her as a companion.

[@SuperSkitzoTV]

@@ROOKllE if mad sense remember she’s still on the run from Cerberus technically

[@daniiii004]

Awesome Vid🙌, definitely needed a reminder on what we theoretically know so far with an upcoming N7 Day! Alot to Expect and Alot to Inspect. Hope ya doing well with the Shoulder Injury, Any thoughts on what may be revealed on N7 Day?

[@paragonseven]

Definitely have some thoughts on N7 day, video incoming soon!

[@Cloofinder]

Could the Geth have been in contact with the Jardaan via this powerful telescope? Considering the Jardaan have powerful tech (the Remnant) could the geth have offered the Jardaan asylum in the Milky Way galaxy from what had the Jardaan were running from?. Hence why they left Meridian.

[@paragonseven]

I have a full breakdown of why the geth telescope might use remnant technology, so this could be possible! (And I also have unhinged ideas that the Jardaan are gonna be the baddies in the next game, but there's not much evidence to back that up, just vibes).

[@88heisenberg88]

You're very smart, I'm always impressed by your analyses. Keep it up!

[@BlazeTheCatMan]

13:51 ah that's me! lol

[@jjlastname6933]

The way you articulate your thoughts behind the theory are great. Keeping my curiosity for the game alive.

[@metaphysicsste1558]

This is some top level investigation, and is always great going down the rabbit hole!! 😊

[@FemShepN7]

Inspiring as always 💙🤘

[@greggmacdonald9644]

This vid was great! I love your content, you find all the details about ME that I simply am not perceptive enough to notice, and I love the speculation, too. Thanks!! Now, only a mere 1 month away to N7 day, I'm sure you're counting down the days like I am, until the next reveal(s) :)

[@xenowriter82]

I wonder if it’s not really Thessia, but maybe another Asari owned world?

[@paragonseven]

Potentially! The area looks very similar to Thessia's buildings, but could easily be an asari planet we haven't visited yet.

[@ReachTea]

Paragon7 about to analyse every single pixel ❤

[@mayabee7328]

You are amazing! Your mind is absolutely brilliant! I love You and I love Your work! ❤

[@superchug2469]

Great video loved your therioes. When you did the mud skipper theory I was like wow did she actually predict that. Will see when it releases. With the thessia air pollution it's possible to due the amount of damage caused by explosions, possible nuclear bombs towards the reapers and massive damage to its ecosystem. It may have kicked up enough pollution after that its not yet settled yet and they are still repairing the damage.

[@dungmaestr0912]

and just like that, my excitement for N7 day grows even more. Lol needed this for today as it's my Friday 🥳 What are your hopes for this coming N7 day?

[@paragonseven]

Video incoming, stay tuned!

[@dungmaestr0912]

@@paragonseven Yessss 😍 the hype is real now that Veilguard has gone gold lol

[@TheWireLayer]

Finding those symbols... this is really good work Paragon7, thanks!

[@xenowriter82]

Yay!! I love pre N7 days Mass Effect vids! 🎉

[@Ship-security]

If the next Mass Effect game is a multi-verse, thing I’m going to be very upset.

[@streetbiird]

I cant wait for you to analyze future ME5 trailers in like...5 years or so, hahah. See you then!

[@paragonseven]

Lmao if we ever get anything more than a 30 second teaser I'd spontaneously combust.

[@VarianNash]

4:44 That would be interesting, especially given the possibility of multiverse.

[@konokrisda]

3:45 You're are really quite the detective! I don't think anyone has dug up any info like this

[@DutchXFangirl]

What if.... there is no plan whatsoever, and the ME Team is throwing random stuff in the air, hoping the fandom will make sense of it and come up with cool ideas. So, right now, someone is saying something like, 'Hey, Harry! Check out what they make of your random Mud-Skipper name for that one pic!" And Harry goes, "Huh... awesome. Let's use that; MUlti Dimensional Skipper. Sounds great. I knew reading that fishing magazine on the toilet would pay off somehow." I mean, they dismissed the Indoctrination theory while they should've embraced it and avoid a lot of crap back then. The fandom comes up with the best stuff, after all. 😎

[@MercyBot7]

Your brain is very important to the mass effect fandom hahaha

[@edithrose2474]

If BioWare really wanted to make a huge impact this next N7 day, literally just have shepard’s voice. I guarantee everyone including me would go crazy

[@darrylbenally2753]

Mud skipper, another idea. Skipper is another name for captain and there was a movie called mud with a boat captain. Maybe the new ME will have a similar story line as mud. Audience decides if the skipper lived or not.

[@gamesadergaming1321]

You could drag the SR2 out more to fit the shadow.

[@gamesadergaming1321]

The real question here is why! Why would this group need to skip around to different universes? I think if this is true it might be because the galaxy is in such a poor state with their forces reduced, every race is looking to their own to rebuild and something far worse happens, civil war, a new threat. Maybe the N7 we see wants to change the events of ME3 and thus uses a prototype M.U.D to find a universe similar to ours or change time. Here's the problem with all this how do they connect the milky way with Andromeda, how does our team have an Angaran?

[@mattfry6716]

Yay a new video

[@larbearskitchen3990]

I seem to remember somewhere that the Normandy SR-1 had a sister ship that was also destroyed. I can’t remember where I read or heard this… maybe a comic. Perhaps the alliance was producing another Normandy style frigate before the war in ME3?

[@ItsAv3rageGamer]

I think the Thessia 'beams' are way more likely to be the Milky Way races using Reaper technology than they are to be natural to Thessia. One thing I also noticed that if you look in one of the ending slides present in ME3, it shows Samara and her daughter on Thessia and you can see some of these same shaped buildings in the background with no beams present. I guess they could have been damaged during the Reaper invasion but in the background of that shot you can't see any noticeable damage, so it's likely the damage was already fixed by this point.

[@drewtheunspoken3988]

Given the purpose of that world, it wouldn't make sense to have teleportation available. They're supposed to be secluded and not able to leave without a death sentence coming in to play. I don't think teleportation existed on Thessia before the end of ME3.

[@ItsAv3rageGamer]

@@drewtheunspoken3988 I agree with you but I haven’t really read into the lore on Thessia. So Asari aren’t really supposed to be able to leave?

[@drewtheunspoken3988]

@@ItsAv3rageGamer I was talking about the monastery planet for the Ardaht Yakshi (bad spelling). She pointed out the ending slider for Samara that took place on that monastery planet. I apologize for the confusion.

[@payableondeath7]

Sneakily Hidden Secrets all doing a lot of work in that title lol

[@MysticFL1-Beth]

I totally agree with you

[@Jswin-fi2pn]

An Atharia Mass Effect video 😁 Yes, I agree with it all, every word! Of course it's a multidimensional skipper and the slouched person, I'm sure, must be Joker?! Great video, as always, sleuthing and finding the secrets for us, thanks!

[@paragonseven]

Not even joking (pun intended) I had an even more unhinged take that they're disguising Joker as this slouching character, cause he leans while standing due to his Vrolik syndrome. Not sure they'd go there, but....someone has to pilot the Mudskipper 👀

[@Jswin-fi2pn]

That was exactly my thought, though. It is how he stands and moves!

[@nathanshoaf6833]

i just had a theory about that mudd skipper ship name maybe its a call back to ashley because she calls shepard skipper maybe this means she could be returning? also it would be awesome to see the original normandy return

[@BlazeTheCatMan]

the game will be called EON i can since it cuz it would make since if this takes place after andromeda which is 600 years cuz eon means long time period and its used as a space name at times

[@tyrannosaurus_wex]

Fiening so bad for ME finding meaning in shadows

[@lionguardfan2019]

Looked for any more metadata or such in those for clues? Maybe even look at old poster pics for this game also?

[@Ms_StoryDragon]

Space ships being named after aquatic creatures or having to do with nautical themes is not something new.

[@jacoballen9523]

Hey skipper are we going back to the milky way galaxy

[@MassEffect_fan]

I just have a question for you : do you think that Shepard will be the protagonist of the next game or at least we will leave the possibility of playing him depending on the choice of our ending of ME 3?

[@paragonseven]

I'll be answering this in my next video!

[@VarianNash]

5:57 😂

[@USC_Horizons]

What if Sheppard's consciousness was made into a VI/AI? Indirectly or indirectly... Maybe the new N7 really is in the machine...

[@dorottyapapp]

Hey Skipper! I wonder why did they put these 4 signs up there specifically: Cerberus, Tartarus/Kralla's Song/Kadara, Omega. They're giving sinister, underworld vibes which fits with the N7 Agent teaser. Except Kralla --> Kerala ???, whatever it means.

[@paragonseven]

I'm not sure we can make any predictions based on the symbols alone because (1) it seems like it was randomly placed on the art piece, and (2) we haven't seen any of the symbols since in other hints, IIRC. I will say though that when looking up what symbols could've been used, Omega and Cerberus are easily the most recognizable (besides for the Systems Alliance logo). As to the Andromeda-specific symbols, I'm not as familiar with MEA lore in general, so I can't really speak to what those 2 symbols could mean. If you have any thoughts though, I'd love to know!

[@dorottyapapp]

@@paragonseven I know they might not mean a thing, just like the figures beside the ships, etc. They're all just concept arts with reused assets probably. I'm just entertaining myself with looking random things up on the internet. I haven't done a deep dive, just a quick look up and Cerberus is a multi-headed dog of Hades who is the god of the underworld. Tartarus was referred to the lowest part of the underworld that was used as a dungeon to lock up the enemies of gods. The best I found on Kralla is from the game, it's an asari demon of misfortune who targets the ones with long plans. For Kadara I found these meanings: fate, destiny, acacia plant, miserable, bad temper, servant... The End. Or shall I write Ω.

[@paragonseven]

@@dorottyapapp Huh, I didn't know that about Kralla, thanks for the heads up. Omega has a ton of lore as well, so it's all good! :) I'll pay closer attention to the MEA lore cause I know I missed a LOT.

[@dorottyapapp]

@@paragonseven You're welcome! 🤗 And don't worry ME has so much background knowledge that it's impossible to know all of it, especially about Andromeda because there's less content about it on the internet, unfortunately. I just learned this bit myself too.

[@Jack.7.7.7]

Would be cool if your Shepard lived and you get to play as them and if they died you play as ryder 🎉

[@gnaame3905]

I need another ship upgrading system from mass effect 2,i Hope we'll see it in next game 😢

[@Kawkawcrow]

I just hope… and pray… they mass effect 5 won’t suck. Because andromeda made me sad. No Shepard without Vakarian! I NEEEEED MORE SHEPXVAK!

[@masscreationbroadcasts]

This video is recent, but I've only seen you make reactions to the trailer a few months ago, is this all you do?

[@cattableabby]

Not like there's been a whole lot of newer Mass Effect content to react to. She needs to make content from something. Probably just making a newer video now that N7 day is coming up
