Bertrum's FATE! What happened to Bertrum Piedmont? (Bendy & the Ink Machine Theories)

[@rosem2901]

Something that I haven’t seen people addressing is that the “audio log” in the room with the ride fight isn’t actually a recording. It doesn’t show the typical sheet of paper in the corner like with all the other audio logs, but instead provides captions on the bottom of the screen like the regular speaking dialogue (a similar effect can be seen in the chapter two update, when the music studio’s audio log cuts off, the sheet fades away, and then Sammy himself says “I said can I get an amen?”). When first playing this chapter it made me think that Bertrum’s fight was going to begin, but the randomized movement of the ride is very good evidence that it is not possessed. Maybe Bertrum is speaking to Henry from another area (where he can’t really see that Henry isn’t Joey) and activating the ride from there.

[@anthonypecoraro5472]

That's exactly what I was going to say!

[@anamatronicattack9179]

Then Bertrum could be killed silently by Bendy thus never haves to be mentioned again.

DISGUSTING

[@Nora_the_Seedrian]

Personally, I feel that the ride IS Bertrum. After all, the ride itself is a cage in a way as you can see Bertrum's head uncomfortably trapped within it. The reason as to why Bertrum isn't exactly aiming correctly is the possibility of his mind being too "corrupted". We've seen that the Lost Ones aren't exactly sane, one of them was smashing their head in the wall with incredible force after all. Plus, I feel it has something to do with possible limitations the ride itself has. It is possible that the arms are "fixed" in a way making it hard to hit someone who has complete freedom of movement. That was my first assumption upon seeing him for the first time. For the audio cue, well, Bertrum was simply in a dormant state until the sound of his own voice woke him up. There's not a lot to do when you're trapped in a ride for decades, sleep might be the only freedom you have.

[@billcipher2604]

While i think your analisis of Bertrum is amazing, i have a few issues with the theory of what the octopus ride really is. Bertrum was very proud of his job, he saw his creations as his own children, and Bendy Land would be the single biggest thing he had ever done. The last thing Bertrum wanted was to see it fail, he wanted his archivement to succeed, but he wanted it to be HIS archivement. Bertrum hated Joey but he didn't want him dead, he wanted to show him a lesson and prove his dominance. Besides, Joey choosing to silence Bertrum (if he saw something he shouldn't have) turning him into an octopus ride made sense acording to his plan. He wanted mindless ink slaves who would work for nothing, he wanted real looking cartoons to make his theme park a world sensation and he would definetly want an atraction with no need to be maintained. Or perhaps turning Bertrum into a theme ride would be part of Joey's trend of ironic punishments for everyone who oposes him. I dunno if you will answer but everyone else who has any take on this is welcome to reply.

I for one actually thought the Bertrum Ride was supposed to have a voice, like it was truly possessed. It wouldn't react to Henry himself ( I think they didn't even got to know each other), rather it would react thinking anyone who got trapped in the room to be Joey Drew. It's mouth move a bit when defeat, like was coughing, but no sound was heard, so give space to an update of design like they did for the first chapters.

Guys it was one of the passive inky monsters that cry sometimes. It was not part of the recording

[@theitalianmexican1035]

There’s a giant face in the middle of the machine that you didn’t even mention but used as a picture to put on screen when talking about Bertrum. I think Bertrum is controlling it. Here are the reasons. 1) The way he attacks is probably because how the fight is positioned, rather than any lore. You can easily not get hit by just standing away from the swinging arms, so why would they make the arms track you? It would just follow you around while not actually doing anything. I’m pretty sure this fight was just made as a “only get close to it when it’s vulnerable” fight so they made the arms swing randomly around to deter you from going near, and inducing a sense of a threat of you. 2) As I said first, there’s literally a giant head in the ride. A face that even you used to put on screen when you were talking about Bertrum, meaning you think that’s him. If he built the ride to be controlled by an AI, why would he put a giant, deformed face in it? It’s probably Bertrums dead body deformed by the ink, and he then went on to posses the ride. 3) I saw some other comments here say this, so props to them. But when you play the audio log that starts the fight, it’s in white captions on the bottom of the screen, instead of a note page with Bertrums name on the left like how the logs usually are. The white captions are used when someone physical in the game is talking to Henry (Like Sammy, and Alice Angel does). The fact that Bertrum speaks with white captions means that he is THERE, in the room, talking to Henry. And where else could he be but inside the ride? Since it isn’t a recording, unless Bertrum is somehow still alive somewhere, the only reason why the ride activated is because Bertrum is controlling the ride. 4) Bertrum seems to only have a grudge with Joey. If his plan were to make the ride malfunction on purpose in Bendy Land, yes that would probably get Bendy Land shut down due to harming people, but it would hurt Bertrums reputation as an engineer WAY more than it will hurt Joeys. Realistically, when a amusement park shuts down because one of the many rides created by a person malfunctions, the designer/engineer is the one at fault, not the park owners. Joey could’ve easily removed that one ride that Bertrum made to malfunction, and reopened Bendy Land with the rest of the rides no problem. I think Bertrum would know that wouldn’t work. Also, knowing that Bertrum has a big ego and is proud to be known as one of the greatest park designers, would he really throw all of his life’s hard work and reputation away just so he can fail at getting revenge? No. What happened, is that this ride was supposed to be a normal ride, but Bertrum died somehow in the studio, and possessed it with the hatred for Joey still in him.

You know Bertram could have also known about the ink machine through his partnership with Joey Drew so maybe some possessed ink is involved in the ride as well maybe not his soul maybe so someone from the R&D department that combined with his advanced robotics knowledge just makes too much sense

[@nathanielcurtis6213]

PSI Rockin ok let me explain because the fact that the face in the ride is clearly shown breathing that made me think that's some of the possessed ink from the ink machine was involved in its creation meaning Ida Bertram knew about the ink machine from Joey Drew himself that being he shared the information of it during the construction of bendy land through their business partnership or giving bertrams technical skills he built the death trap of a ride Joey found out and involved him in the experiments with the ink machine fusing him with the ride and waiting for it to be reactivated via the audio recording

And Joey also announces the creation of Bendyland coming together, ready to soon be alive. Who wouldn’t get angry if a man were to take what’s yours and claim it as his? Joey acted like Bendyland was all him. Bertrum did nothing but model. Drew acted like it was his imagination, his dreams coming to life. And only his dreams.

I think it's possible that Bertrum is the giant hand that follows you in the boat ride. Inside Bendy Land there are similar giant hands near the ceiling used as decorations. It could be that Bertrum has become a colossal entity as well. There might even be some poetic tragedy at play here. Bertrum builds a ride with a nightmarish face of Joey Drew - (I think the face looks like a younger, albeit bug-eyed, Joey Drew, one of the few characters who is actually given a face in the game.) - The ride is more of a representation of the flailing monster Joey Drew is. Joey Drew, appears fun and friendly on the outside, a visual promise of a good time. Then is revealed to be a danger to all around him. Thrashing and pounding in a repeat pattern, unable to change his method no matter how hard he gets hit. Then, quid-pro-quo, Bertrum is transformed into a similar crushing hand that will drag you down into hell. A man concerned with his own greatness and fearing a life in the shadow of Joey Drew. Desperate to be recognized for his marvels. Ultimately he resides in the bottom most depths of another person's vision. As an unnamed abomination.

It was stated by characters like both Alice Angels that sometimes when they reincarnated, they weren't always completely there in the head and/or had different bodies. I assumed it was Bertrum actually talking because it had subtitles like any other actual character talking to you. Otherwise audio recordings got a transcript instead. I think part of him probably did reincarnate into or possess the ride, but he either was barely cognizant, if at all. The projectionist monster is also allegedly Norman Polk, which seemingly has no intelligence left beyond acting in impulse to kill everything in its light. Though this video is still interesting. Seems like the whole game is almost entirely open to interpretation.

[@themangledeeveep5497]

I think that only part of Bertrum’s soul is in the machine. Like all his rage and vengefulness possess it. This could be because Bertrum wanted to finally see the man he loathed for so long to be put to rest by the creation he stole from him. However, he can’t really comprehend who is and isn’t Joey because the part of his soul that entered the ride was the angry and prideful part. He is blinded by rage, which is why his attacks are uncoordinated and don’t really aim for Henry. This also could be why that searcher seemed so afraid and upset. That is the soft part of his soul. The part that just wants to leave and go home. You’d think that if Bertrum became an ink monster he’d be more angry and would try to wreck everything, after all he was a pretty stubborn and prideful man. Even if he was just afraid of Bendy, you’d think some of his arrogant attitude would stay with him, right? But instead he’s cowering and crying and saying he wants to go home. I believe that’s a part of Bertrum that was deep inside him. He acted all arrogant and powerful when he was really just afraid of Joey stealing everything from him and ruining his image. It’s not that great of a theory and I’m not really bright when it comes to theories like this. Interesting video though, you’re much better at theorizing than I am 😅

Hmmm I think Bertram was some how put in the caristel

[@MeridethFamily]

I agree because the audio tape says “oh mr. drew, you are the true architect behind so many nightmares” notice that he says “you” as if he is directing it toward Joey

[@oofp2784]

My theory about this is that Joey actually killed Bertrum, because Bertrum had a little bit of personality and he would notice how Joey was treating him and wouldn't hesitate to complain about that, so then Joey wanted to take revenge and glued his head to a *failed* machine that Bertrum made, in a *mockery* way.

[@sheevpalpatine6139]

Maybe, but the ink probably infected the machine and the head. Cause that's way to big to be a regular human head. I also dont think the machine was failed. Bertrum was an experienced worker for this stuff. That's why he was hired. The park itself failed because of complications, most likely with the fuckingbvb ink from the ink machine everywhere(thanks slot Mr.Drew)

[@benh3518]

Would be interesting to see you revisit this given Bertie's head is held among the Cyclebreakers in Dark Revival.

[@treebranche1976]

Hey, at least he is a fun amusement park ride! Even if he is a deadly killing machine now

[@miaeshook5872]

So basically as we keep finishing the same game the evolution keeps going higher I want to see the secret evolution poor Bertrum he was bullied by joey first

[@tunamoske]

Have you heard that sammy said this in The Last Reel? (C5) "Ah, You lied to me... You said i'd be free! Well i'm going to free you now, Free your head right off your shoulders! Sheep, Sheep, Sheep, It's time for.... Sleep.."

[@arielruh7773]

I think I heard that

[@WoodsAreBeautiful]

Best line ever

[@insomniacprozac6153]

boi he says that in chap 2 and he almost kills u.

[@elizabethlacy8869]

Your channel is how i get ANY of my real knowledge of this game and its backstory. Thank you! Keep making videos! :D

[@punkshotgun3421]

Hey Mike I've been thinking, did Thomas Conner quit or not because his audio log from ch1 said that he wouldn't be working for Joey anymore but in chapter 3 we found other audio logs where he is working at the studio, if he were to quit then it would explain why he was teaching Wally Franks what to do for the pressure and pipes because Thomas would leave soon and he wants wally to look after things when he is gone until Joey found another repair man. What do you think?

[@boy_wells9339]

Probably because the audio logs aren't in order of time. I mean, that could be obvious. Sammy's first audio log seems to be after the creation of the ink demon, since sammy is worshipping bendy. The next audio log of Sammy seems to be right after the ink machine was put in place

[@UnavailableID]

He escaped

[@MidBoss666]

The final recording has subtitles, implying it's in fact, the machine talking to us, and that Bertrum is the machine.

[@mexicantryhard6276]

I wanna say all (that i remember) the Most important characters 1. Henry unkown 2. Joey drew 3. Susie Campbell 4. Allison pendell 5. Wally franks 6. Thomas connor 7. Shawn Flynn 8. Grant cohen 9. Bertrum piedmont 10. Sammy Lawrence 11. Norman polk Thats all that i remember so comment if i missed someone

[@mexicantryhard6276]

Also it dosent count ink characters

[@mexicantryhard6276]

And i mean not the Most important srry becsue like grant cohen Norman polk shawn flynn arent really imortant

[@dannietea]

It could be that Bertrum built the ride to purposely malfunction and when Joey found out, he put Bertrum through the machine and turned him into the ride.

[@sheevpalpatine6139]

Bertum made it clear that no matter what, the achievement would be HIS, and not Joey's. So I dont think he would purposefully ruin his greatest life's work. I dont think Joey out Bertrum in the machine either. From the way Bertrin spoke, it's like he expected Joey to not know he was still there. I think Through the ink, he had ended up inhabiting the machine.

[@jimmybobjoe6761]

Have you thought that when Alice says The first time she was born from it's inky womb she was talking about being actually born like when your first born your all gooey and can't move on your own and the second time that made her an Angel was the first and only time she was in the ink machine like if you agree

[@hebbycakes]

I think you're definitely right that he made the ride as a trap, but I also do think that Joey, as cruel irony and also to be absolutely controlling, found the best way to silence Bertrum would be to kill him and using the Ink Machine, make him part of the ride that he wanted to use to ruin Joey. Therefore realizing Bertrum's dream, but also ruining /him/ instead. I can't ignore that horrifying face inside the ride, and I do think that really is Bertrum, but completely out of control, due to Joey's influence. Still, good stuff as always. I love your vids!

[@MoricsVV]

I think Bertie is the lost one who sitting on a cage under the bendyland sign

[@goodolgranite8247]

He's the octopus ride that you fight.

[@angeLxLaw]

@2:35 that one Lost One just chilling under the BendyLand sign xD

[@W4RM4T]

Why is Bertrums face in the Machine ?

[@tiffany-up2ii]

Cuz he did

[@KeeganMK]

yeah i agree that Johy has TOTALLY LOST HIS MIND!!!

[@xenielphan2911]

Do you think the giant hand in the river was also one of Bertrum's works? When you enter the design room, you can see a giant arm, is this possible that the giant arm was Bertrum's too?

[@RubenGuzman69]

I just realize that "Bendy Land" is really more of a storage room for Bendy Land.

[@PamasBoutique]

Love ur theories! They r better than any others i see!!!👍👍👍👍👍

[@ryderforpresident]

Was I the only one that found Bertrums death traumatizing? Like seriously his soul and mind was shoved in a amusement park ride!

[@tylerpridmore666pridemore9]

Huge fan for the bendy theories

[@amberhawthorne2044]

Tylerpridmore666 pridemore me too never played but I love the theories

[@helpkirbyhasagun_2047]

I’ve played chapter one and some of two Couldn’t finish bc of the lag

[@nallelyleon9450]

At 9:04 you can hear crying in the back round while the tape is on of Lacie Benton

[@crezy-toad]

Yeah it sounds like crying

[@loganentertainment1814]

I wish we'd know when Ch. 5 trailer is gonna come out??

[@wolfiegamerhowls4]

Perfe- Random thought: My Friend.... I want to see my friend again

[@Anaxisca]

This... This changed everything. 😮😮😮. Maybe we can meet him in person in final chapter.And if that true... What fates await??? An awesome video to finished my day. 😉Keep it up. Looking forward to the next video. 😉

[@Anaxisca]

jayjai426 Hmmm... Did you really wacht the video? Because SuperHorrorBro says that that attraction isn't life with Betreim soul. Rather than a machine that designed to revenge Joe Drew. Take a listen 7:09-10:22.

[@TherealSoggyCan]

The hand at the ink river was betrum's hand because how can betrum only had a head and the hand was big after all

[@t00nverseYT]

That is a nice boss fight

[@1970terrysmith]

U should have a theory about who Linda is! My theory is Linda was a child that had a wheelchair and was very sick but Joey did something to her.

[@0range180]

What if batim is a movie with the title being the last reel for chapter 5

[@SamAx.]

Bruh you predicted it

[@Charadoesthatgaming]

I wonder if bendy and the dark revival will ever be made

[@Qaztsu]

I thing Bertriem mistakes Henry for Joey or perhaps he is an ink person and frightened Betrium (This is why he walks through the ink people. but its just a theory A GAME THEORY!

[@arielruh7773]

Maybe his soul is corrupted in a way but I agree with your theory

[@user-un1gt1os6o]

Thank you for being clear about all of your theories not just throwing ideas out there with no clear proof😊

[@sleepyalienlol]

GOOD LORD YOU ARE AMAZING THANKS FOR THE THEORY I NEEDED THIS Edit:OMAGAD HE HEARTED ME!!!!!!! SeNpAi NoTiCeD Me !!!!!1!1!1!!11!!!1!

[@RevivalSaintValentine]

The thing is and of coarse, this is my opinion. If he really had this amazing technology, such as a mechanical object reacting to a command, just know that this was In what, 1930’s anyways I do t understand how this could happen such a long time ago. The thing with the bendy robot could just be Paranoia or a general fear in the first place
