This is the biggest conspiracy video I've ever made and it took a fair while. So I'd once again like to thank Gamer Supps not only for providing a great product to help my focus but also for giving me full control over how and when to promote them.

I think I found a clue to the numbers on the spotting glasses spread around the city with the numbers 0312-2105B I found a location and on the wall there sits 0312-2105A. So I think you might be right about the number not being random.

Don't forget the "Big In Japan" questline. When you finish the quest, Dennis offers you Scalpel as your reward.

An outside party wants to make sure you have one of the best katanas in Night City, a blade that has no history behind it.

[@zblackcapricorn]

I feel having some supernatural elements in cyberpunk is really fun. As long as they are not stricly labeled as supernatural, but just seems like it through the player's eye. It is a bonkers advanced world with secret technology beyond even all the game's characters comprehension. It is a world where there are so many mysteries that are either seemingly impossible to solve or long forgotten. The Arthur Clarke quote that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" fits so well within the setting. There for adding things like the net and the entities within being "discovered" are great additions, and making these entities seem supernatural adds a lot for me at least.

[@cabnbeeschurgr6440]

The rogue ais of the blackwall are essentially demons invading from hell. There are definitely religious/supernatural undertones to the game what with all the souls and daemons and all that. Rather than spiritual it is digital

[@Cryptic0013]

It certainly seems to be suggested that Misty's powers of clairvoyance and aura-reading aren't just superstition. They provide testable, verifiable predictions that just keep on being true. Add to that the AR puzzle that suggests the worlds of the Witcher and Cyberpunk are connected, as well as what Ciri says about having visited a world with "towers of glass" during her dimension-hopping, it's entirely possible that this world is one of the "spheres" of the same universe, one where magic is channeled as technomancy and ESP rather than lighting bolts and potions.

[@Viktor-be7xf]

From the Paralez call, the caller refers to itself as "we". This sounded weird and reall resonated with on instance in Dogtown when a random homeless npc suddenly became hostile and said "we are the legion", implying a rogue AI.

I love the parallels of biblical demons and rogue ais in cyberpunk. In the Bible, Jesus exorcises a demon named Legion who had possessed a man. I like the idea of the rogue ais being literal demons trying to get into our world from hell aka the blackwall

[@Mellokitty7711]

I wanted to mention something about black hand bc I haven’t heard anybody else mention seeing this. In the dog town stadium market, by a clothes vendor, I eavesdropped on a convo between an npc and another npc with a deep voice I’ve never heard. The deep voice guy was being questioned by the other guy about how he did the nuke in the elevator in the arasaka attack. Deep voice guy basically tried to say “nah, you got the wrong guy” but it was heavily insinuated that he was thought to be undercover Morgan backhand. I ran to the other side of clothes that were hanging up, because that’s where they’d been talking, and they were GONE. It was so weird and it’s only happened for me once in multiple playthroughs.

[@Chronicron]

A man with implanted glowing blue eyes, a black suit with a white jacket underneath, a global schemer and manipulator with powerful connections. If I had a nickel for every time I saw such a character in video games, I'd have two nickels. Weird that both of those games are Action Shooter RPGs where your choices affect everything.

Mr. Illusive Eyes

[@Mr.40Bang]

On the Killing Moon mission, you see Blue Eyes 3 times, not 2. The first time you see him was inside the airport where if you make your rounds to look for an entry point to bring Songbird in, there’s a guy named Mysterious Stranger watching you with glowing blue eyes. If you haven’t found your way out to get Songbird in and make eye contact with him, he walks to the restroom. If you follow him, he stops right outside the one with the broken ceiling and then walks out - effectively leading you into the right area. There’s also another section during the funeral of Kurt Hansen when the others are gathering. A barghest soldier’s eyes flash blue and lingers for a few minutes before vanishing. Blue Eyes was present, observing it all before dipping out of the body which I assume it was a doll. If you also read No Coincidence, the cyberpunk book that just came out, he appears once again and you quickly learn what his goals are. Along with what Jefferson might actually be.

[@thatonejester3387]

I thought the "suspicious stranger" was part of Myers group, if I'm correct we are shown him talking or being near Myers or reed, maybe there was two mysterious strangers? I don't do the killing moon path that often so my memory might be a bit fuzzy.

[@TyphonNeuron]

I haven't read the book but I'm very curious about blue eyes and his "goals". What exactly do they reveal about him?

[@Mr.40Bang]

@@TyphonNeuron He’s utilizing multiple corporations to create artificial bodies, putting AI inside them, wiping their memories and implanting false memories. So an AI in one of these synthetic bodies will believe they’re a real person with an extensive and detailed backstory built in. The AI line can create their own emotions and personalities, followed by having the same vice as humans. In one experiment, he uses an AI to kill a key figure of a corporation by giving them a traumatic backstory. Nobody even knows the person in question is an AI, as even they believe that they’re real. In the book, he uses Militech to accomplish it and the end hints that the AI used was one of many.

"Lilith has concealed the Tenth circle from the Ancestors eyes" Tenth Circle = Night City Ancestors Eyes = A I Lilith, who or whatever they are, has prevented the AI's beyond the Blackwall from realizing that there is a breach leading to Night City, therefore allowing access to/from the Old Net completely unmolested

[@neon_one_neo3317]

I believe the lilith AI is Alt, when you first meet her she asks do you think shes a demon sarcastically.

[@Gothsheep0]

You missed something very important about Alt that makes the whole 'Alt is Lilith' thing make a lot more sense. The 'Tenth circle of hell' likely refers to the Ghost City of Hong Kong, which is a refuge for AI made out of the old internet infrastructure in what was left of Hong Kong after it got wiped out by a plague. Something else of note is that everything that's crossed the Blackwall has been a human, which is why I suspect 'human blood' is needed in the Bloody Ritual. My suspicion is that there is some kind of flaw in the Blackwall which allows things connected to humanity to pass though, and the AI the ritual was meant to draw out was trying to create a bridge it could cross over through.

[@Marpe-th6xb]

There’s some more evidence that potentially hints at night corp having way more people under control in Night city politics than just the people related to Peralez. If you talk to the ripper doc who gives you the smart link at the beginning of the game and gives you the joke tattoo when you give Johnny control over your body later in the game, he talks about how a suit in city hall randomly went crazy and in a spur of the moment idea tattooed “fuck nightcorp” on his forehead. The whole thing seems really similar to Jefferson’s paranoia to me.

And I definitely agree that if nothing V did or said made any difference, they wouldn't have bothered to send the threats.

[@jaffarebellion292]

Netrunner V gets screwed a lot in 2077. It's like the whole game was built assuming you were going to play a Solo, and "netrunning" was tacked on as an afterthought.

[@SolaceCaelus]

If you read the Cyberpunk lore books you'll learn that there's a digital equivalent of a physical distance between LDLs(Long Distance Link - How Netrunners quickly travel between locations like London to Tokyo), called Wilderspace. This is usually an empty space in between LDLs, like a desert or an ocean. They(netrunners) elude to a myth that something is lurking within Wilderspace, only choosing when it wants to link to the Net, by bypassing LDL and regional security. Some say Rogue AI, perhaps. Because in the net, you can disguise and make yourself look like anything you desire.

Hell’s tenth circle is so funny to me cuz on one hand you’re being sent to super mega hell. But Inferno is part of a trilogy and as you descend past the 9th circle, it inverts and you arrive in purgatorio In that sense, many things in night city can be seen as a type of purgatory like mikoshi

[@christianotto5553]

On Lilith: She is an AI from beyond the Blackwall, which Maelstrom ferry through the wall with the ritual. Much like there are AIs in Cynosure, if you read the terminals there. Zaria couldn't handle such an advanced AI. Our technology is too primitive for them, which is why they haven't launched an open assault yet. Alt confirms that in the Aldecaldo ending if you have obtained the Canto/Erebus. As to why Maelstrom did it, they worship chrome and AIs. Much like the VDBs, they will happily side with AIs in the war to come. I enjoyed this video, but ngl, it is a tad long. Still, good job!

During the Dream On questline, it is possible to air dash+double-jump to where Mr Blue Eyes is. I did it a couple of times, and after standing behind him and aiming weapons at him (game does not allow you to shot him), he despawns just like Garry's assistant does... completely vanishes. I also though it could be a glitch, but now I think it is a weird coincidence both of those despawn in the same way, since no other character seems to act like that when right in front of you.

[@clarencewalters338]

I believe it not best to dismiss the theory that the net is literal hell. It's implied to be a theory crafted by THE Spider Murphy, if she thinks the net is hell and predates humanity(an opinion shared by Bartmoss, who trashed the nets usability by people) then that would certainly track i think.

[@gehtoodachoppa8603]

If you listen to Maximum Mike's conspiracy podcasts on Morro Rock there is one where he says a friend of his went to Romania on some business and came across a village where people were attacked and killed by werewolves. And the werewolves it turned out were some sort of genetically enhanced mutants that escaped from a nearby Biotechnica lab. We also know from shards we find around various Badlands gigs and Padre's gig where we are sent to kill Ms. Tucker Albach that Biotechnica was doing some sort of experiments on nomads in some black site in the Badlands, which resulted in a number of deaths. So Garry's ramblings about werewolf Nomads may have a solid grain of truth underneath and probably are based on whatever intel he listened in on that covered Biotechnica's genetic enhancement shenanigans.

[@bamcki991]

Fun thing about Maximum Mike: it is narrated by Mike Pondsmith, the creator of cyberpunk. The stuff that he rambles on about is actual lore of the world from what I've heard. In one conspiracy he does mention that the Arasaka's are vampires, which I am honestly 50/50 considering taking in metaphoricaly or full heartedly.

What an amazing video. Great work !

[@TheWannaBNerd]

I played all those missions and definitly felt something was missing, never picked up on this through line. So cool! Thanks for putting it together.

My theory from the first time I met/saw Mr Blue Eyes is that he is actually a flesh vessel for rogue AIs that are beyong the black wall. That would explain his glowy blue eyes. Also might explain the hacker design, with the center part being a blackhole (sounds like black wall...) with all information sucked in and instructions/directions coming out.

Motherf***** I thought it was Maelstrom in that van I missed the whole "Agents" running to the AV. I could watch 2077 lore for ages love the video man 👌

[@imogensullivan2210]

I have a theory that cyberpunk orion is going to have the don't fear the reaper ending become canon and v (who survives with the help of mr blue eyes) have to work with him (and by extension, nightcorp). It could also have lilith do a johnny move and live in someone's head

[@thomasjames6581]

My period is in the bloody ritual when our optics got messed with was the AI Lilith trying to kill us thin and there, but not being powerful enough in the physical realm

[@MangoMan77]

You should do a full cp2077 iceberg type video. This felt kinda like that and that kind of video would be super fun to watch! Great video btw!

[@tonep3168]

Thanks for this mammoth video, you help bring this amazing game to life!

[@ryanonfire3504]

Great video Sam! Some good work here

[@chtrouvpadnom]

I love these crazy dives into even crazier theories ! I'd love to see at least some of these plots resolved in the future, but if they are, I'm pretty sure answers will be very different of what is theorised ! It's so often the case. Anyway, really nice work on this video, thx

[@drcheeze]

Holy cow, an hour long Sam Bram video? I guess sleep can wait!

[@jay_warudo1610]

Got my snacks and cyberpunk on Okay i'm ready for a new theory by Sam 😂

[@123Suffering456]

Great video, was really excited to hear more about the whole Mr Blue Eyes thing. There is evidently a lot I missed when playing the game through twice. Oh and congrats on your sponsor! Been using GG for years, great brand.

[@Freedomerider]

I love how smooth that ad was slid in

[@Rat-King27]

Was just thinking about the blue eyed men after finishing the game for the first time, and low and behold the legend Sam Bram had made a video about it. Keep up the great work man.

[@skullcowboy9609]

Hands would have been my go to for info on Mr Blue Eyes.

[@gdi_kosen]

Sam, you're the goat! thanks for all the quality content choom

[@GM-gp7lg]

Awesome video mate ! Just to add on the Zaria rewritting your optics to hide herself on the go thing, before you actually go up to the bath and start her animation of her getting out the bath you can actually see her in the area but only a second before the screen has a flicker effect and she disappears. She actaully despawn from where you saw her and reappears at a different random spawn and if you catch her again the same thing happens until you start the encounter by going to the bath. Really cool once you know

This was a great watch! I think a lot of the Ritual/NightCorp/Blackwall bit can be addressed by acknowledging that Night City as well as the story (Oftentimes the background story in this case) moves forward whether V intervenes or not, that is to say, there's a lot going on in the background that we can pick signs off, you can meet Panam talking with Nash in the Afterlife when you are going to see Dexter, for example, you can see cops recreating a cyberpsycho incident near Misty's Esoterica and the cyberpsycho looks remarkably similar to Peter Horvath (As well as the Cyberpsycho that offs Pilar in Edgerunners) and the story moves forward. From there, we could deduce that the AI's beyond the Blackwall are learning, even if they don't acquire a physical form, they need "storage" on this side of the Blackwall, Maelstrom being so into the occult, mysticism, and cyberpsychosis, as well as having a heavy cyberware load by default, may have appeared as an ideal means to "carry" an AI from the Blackwall to this side, not taking in consideration the limitations/stress of the human brain, or maybe they did which is why they picked a female Maelstromer for the Ritual and, ultimately, it did not work. If we take that in consideration, Mr. Blue Eyes being a proxy is a theory that becomes easier to accept, whether it's a high profile corpo with insane pull an influence, or his identity has been scrubbed by the AI's themselves, what's evident is that by his optics we can assume he's perpetually engaged in a data transmission of sort (Optics during a call tend to be gold tinted, and a Doll usually has their optics in a pink/lilac hue as well, blue is usually the default color when accepting or issuing a transaction). Sadly, as much as I'd love to think this is Morgan Blackhand working in cahoots with Night City after leaving Militech, I don't think that's the case. There's obviously a bunch of cut content when they went with Keanu Reeves as Johnny Silverhand, there was a lot of going back and rewriting the plot. For instance, character creation alone changed significantly, there was an option to name a childhood hero in your character creator which makes me think that originally there would have been more than one construct we could end up with. I also don't think Alt is Alt, Cyberpunk RED motions to a different story that maybe explains the whole Alt thing as well as the damaged Johnny Silverhand engram. But speaking of growing background stories, there's mention of a Ghost City Alt builds for wandering AI as well as engrams (I presume), and when presented with a plan to raid Mikoshi, she points out that she has tried before, by using what Johnny calls "Children of the Net", this to me proves that the AI are trying different things all the time to cross over beyond just shattering the Wall. It's entirely possible NightCorp is in on it, or at the very least, it's very aware. If they struck a deal, it would make sense for the AI's to help them develop all the mind controlling projects, while in return NightCorp works on finding ways to bring AI's to this side and even using them, as some sort of symbiotic relationship. That would explain Mr. Blue Eyes' stance as well. All and all it's a fascinating topic, on one hand I hate that they left it like that, with more questions than answers, on the other hand, this only makes me hope that this plot is picked up by Orion and greatly expanded upon, and that the team takes whatever time they need to deliver a solid story.

He's got a bit in common with G-man from Half-life 2 and Gaunter O'Dimm from CDPR's Witcher 3; they're all mysterious, enigmatic, and they all pop up multiple times in the game before or after your first conversation with them. Gaunter is in the background of some Hearts of Stone cutscenes for those who don't know, like disguised as a peasant or guardsman.

I have been waiting for soooooo long for this

Great video Sam!

Runner symbol in dream on is likely referencing the symbol for chaos created by Michel Moorcock for his Elric series and subsequent interconnected multiverse, later adopted by Warhammer fantasy and 40k.

A new sam 1 hour cyberpunk video ? This is christmas come early

[@fbiagent2442]

I really believe that the Garry quest was supposed to be a teaser for one of the two planned dlcs, especially considering the unfinished vampire caves in the badlands

[@wormspeaker]

Thanks for putting this together. You always do such a good job of tying all the threads together. The supernatural aspect of the net and AI is something that you can find in some of William Gibson's later cyberpunk writings. (It's the inspiration for the Voodoo Boys in a lot of ways, with AI taking on the aspects of Haitian deities in Count Zero.) So, I wouldn't put it past CDPR to incorporate it into Cyberpunk 2077. But, I'd like to take a moment and really give CDPR some congratulations. They did an amazing job on Cyberpunk 2077. It's not often that a game comes out that has so much depth in it to generate this much conversation even over 3 years after its release.
