In theory: the end of the Cosmere is now proven to be filled with nothing but superpowered crabs named Doug.
It's inevitable.

@@bokeron34😂
It's inconceivable how connected to the Cosmere this book was!
Also that ending was gold lmao.
Haha, thank you! I've had that laugh memorized since I was 9 years old.
Well when Hoid says that Sazed has released the Kandra it does not necessarily mean that he has released them all from his service, it could just mean he has released at least some of them into the wider Cosmere. Sending out Melaan in The lost Metal would count as the beginning of this so in a sense 'this' could have already happened at the end of era 2.
Hoid specifically talks about how kandras are "themselves" with their own personalities. Pretty sure "released" means that sazed liberated them.
"Released" has more implications than "sent out," but even so, Lost Metal would just be the beginning!
@@TheCosmerenaut Design is the monster hidden drawer by the kandra
Tress also mentioned death having nails in his eyes.
Yup! I mentioned this at 10:26
Can't believe you didn't mention the Marewill flowers on Hoid's "Hawaiian shirt"!
great video!
That's amazing! Hoid's wearing ghostblood merch!
Finished Tress and immediately went to find this video.
I missed so much, but also happy I got so many. Cosmere treats its invested fans so well it's incredible.
*Invested* fans? ;)
Your weaving in of the Princess Bride was perfection
Don't worry. I won't let it go to my head!
After reading Tress, I can't wait till we meet a World Hopper named Doug!
I believe Wayne mentions a friend named Doug at one point.
The "secret plot to kill god" is a reference of his original involvement with the shattering
Which he changed his mind at in the end and therefore did not inherit a shard
That's not the only "god" he's had a hand in killing technically. Do we count the Lord Ruler? Any Returned he'd messed with? I mean, Kelsier is almost considered a god by some. And how much did he encourage the deterioration of Ruin and Preservation?
@@TheCosmerenaut so you're saying Kelsier has been on both sides of the "punching god in the face"?
@@TheCosmerenauthow was hoid involved in killing the lord ruler?
It could be argued to a certain degree, yeah. He definitely benefitted from it.
Loved the Princess Bride cuts! Great video!
Thank you!! I had a lot of fun making this one.
There's SO MUCH that I missed... And I was even looking.
4 days ago?
@@FallenFromGlory ;)
That's one of the perks of supporting me on Patreon: they've had this video for a week!
@@TheCosmerenaut oh damn
that winky on Rosite was for TwinSoul and as hes watching this, he winkys back 🤣
I'm honored to have Twinsoul watch my content!
While Lost Metal definetly was a bit less vague with its connections, Tress got me so intrigued and excited.
btw. just finished Tress that finally found its way to me about 2 weeks ago (amidst crazy busy work stuff that I had to finish before staring reading)
TRESS IS SO GOOD!
I love all the Princess Bride cut ins
I had fun. :)
Finished tress yesterday and started whitesand today and i thought that sand mastery was similar. Tress was amazing though sent me back to the storys my mum made up when i was a child
I love that for you! How wonderful you're able to connect with the story in such a special way!
My man. You said this video was coming, and you have delivered!
I'm really proud of this one!
I can't like this video hard enough lol
:D
Great video. And what a great book! Glad you're here to help us piece together some of the more obscure connections.
My pleasure!
This video slaps! I finished the book about an hour before I saw the video posted and now I want to start the book over since I missed a bunch of the connections you pointed out.
And don’t think I didn’t notice those 2 cups on your desk. The level of detail in these videos is astounding!
So glad someone noticed the cups!
I think Mraize might be from the same tribe as fort because mraize always talks to shallan about the hunt the same way Fort does
Mraize is canonically Thaylen, but maybe in his travels!
@@TheCosmerenautI am quite surprised that Mraize is Rosharam at all... he doesnt seem to give a shit about the planet in general 😂
I also loved Tress.
It's so good!
When I got to the part where Hoid talked about having a mullet, needless to say I did a double take
I've seen exactly one piece of fan art, and that is NOT ENOUGH.
Just finished today. Behind I know. I loved this book. Honestly it is perhaps the first book I have read in my adult life that made me feel like the 8 year old book worm I once was. It was a joy. Im so sad it’s over. I fell in love with the characters. I am going to miss Hoid’s voice and quite honestly his wisdom. I try very hard to understand the Cosmere. I reread often and still find it hard for my brain to hold it all unlike my 21 year old daughter who forgets nothing Cosmere. But I am fascinated with the connections and the secrets and press on.
It's definitely the most fun I've had reading a book in a long time. If you ever need help understanding the Cosmere, I'm here for you!
I just finished Tress (I held off reading them until I had several, so I could avoid a wait once I started.) and the entire book I was going "OOH! I recognize that! That too! Is that a!? Oh and that! So many things! IS THAT A ROCKET!?"
If this is what Brandon defines as "Not really Cosmere relevant" I am afraid. I'm looking at Yumi on my bookshelf and quaking in my leopard print sports bra necklace. It's the next big trend, I'm telling you.
Moving on, I adored this book. I'd recommend it to literally anyone that enjoys reading.
The connections in Tress were more worldbuilding-y. Yumi's connections are mechanics-y.
Still absolutely my favorite secret project.
Thanks so much
You're welcome!
Was waiting for this one! Thank you for your work
hyped for the SP4 video
I'm a little terrified for it, honestly.
I have been WAITING with baited breath for this video lol
It's here!
Love your content man! Been waiting for this one (And yes Sock and slip on sandles are in style)
Oh dear...
Gosh, i love these videos!
And they love you!
(Seriously, thank you for your support!)
Just found your channel and can’t wait to dive in!
Welcome aboard! Let me know what you think!
Wahoo! I've been waiting for this one
It's been waiting for you, Natalie!
great work as always
Thank you!
New kind of bond just dropped 😂😂
I'm having nahel of a hard time figuring them out. What luhel is going on?
no one's gonna mention the fact that at the beginning of the book, Hoid said there were iriali people on an island in Tress' planet but left???
Didn't I say that? I swore I said that.
@@TheCosmerenaut just saw the video twice again, guess you didnt! i was freaking out until i read the coppermind article about them and noticed there was more info about their religion!
Wow, that was an oversight. I know I mentioned them in the previous "Everything We Know About Secret Project 1" video, but I can't believe I forgot to point them out here!
I think tress of emerald sea is probably somewhere after era 3 and before era 4.
It all depends on who makes it to space first.
Isn't Cultivation also a dragon?
Cultivation is a dragon, yes, but we've never seen her be... dragon-y yet.
is it possible that Breaths are now being artificially made? Like could you turn Dor or Stormlight into Breaths?
I can't say no. In fact, I should say "likely." I have no idea how.
We daw purified dor being able to supercharge allomancy, well not saw but been told by moonlight iirc in lost metal. From what I can extrapolate from that, you can use purified investiture to power any magical art. I think.
As far as I can tell, Investiture is Investiture, and if you know what you're doing, you can swap things around.
The tricky part is if the Investiture has obtained some kind of specific Identity. Mistborn get their Investiture from metals, but giving a Knight Radiant some Steel isn't gonna do much for them. However, the Investiture of the Dor we have SEEN work perfectly for a Misting. That's why the Ghostbloods on Roshar are trying to figure out how to get Stormlight to other planets. They're basically Investiture batteries, and some clever people can do a LOT with them.
We have also had it confirmed Vasher is continuing to survive on Roshar thanks to the Investiture of the High Storm. He needs Breaths to keep living, but not Breaths SPECIFICALLY. He can substitute Stormlight, hence how he can survive outside of Nalthis. Though we don't know HOW he does it. I assume he doesn't EAT Spheres, but who's to say at this point?
My man
Right on brother!
I’m currently going through your System Order for the cosmere. I just started volume 1 of white sand, where would you place Tress and the other secret projects?
At this point all three secret projects are going at the end, in order. I'll have an official new reading order video after SP4 comes out.
It would take a miracle
Have fun storming the castle!
Would the fact that Hoid and Riina can use Aons not on Sel mean that powers of Dominion and Devotion are held again and are in the spiritual realm? How else could they use the power if they're still splintered.
Not necessarily. The Dor exists in the cognitive realms, true, but the powers of Devotion and Dominion would be accessible anywhere via the spiritual realm, the same way a mistborn could burn a metal on any planet and technically use the power of Preservation. It just needs the right key.
I also noticed that there was debate as to spores (Bone, I think) was argued to exist as they said it might be black or white...like a certain sands. From a certain planet. Like Taldain.
Yup, the mysterious Bone Spurs.
@@TheCosmerenaut was this confirmed or is this still theory? Does that mean that the sands are actually a form of aether spores?
It's strongly hinted at in the text, but I think technically it's still just a theory. I don't think Taldain Sand is related to aethers, but the bond is certainly similar. Just like how bonds between spren and bonds between seons or aviar are similar.
@@TheCosmerenaut Just wait for the connections to be the shards that were "closer" to each other caused more to similar, and that when all of the 16 shards are stitched together the crossovers blur the closer they are.
I had to stop once the spoilers started. I’ve had the book on my nightstand for 2 weeks now and I haven’t had a chance to read it yet! 😭
Get on it! It's So Good!
@@TheCosmerenaut I’ve got about 50 pages left! I’ll be back to finish the video as soon as I’m done. 👍🏻
@@TheCosmerenaut book and video done! Sooooo good. Just one question though, why did Brandon make the pages of the last few chapters out of onions?
@@chrisditoro3876 The Sanderlanche is becoming more and more onion-based with every book. I figure they're just trying to go "green."
Do you have an ASL app or vids to recommend? As always you are my nerd acolyte
I honestly don't use ASL apps or anything anymore, but I do remember liking signasl.org
Yes GenZ brought back socks and sandals as fashion
I had such hope for that generation.
Bets channel ever
Thank you!
Wasn't the reptile person at the end a Sho Del?
I think that's unlikely. Sho Del have four arms and only "reptilian eyes."
@@TheCosmerenaut ok so 2 reptilian races we don't know about. Or someone else with a curse from the witch
Will you even do a video about SP2?
Of course!
10:32 can I know more about this confirmation about the men of red and gold and the awakened status?
Hoid specifically says they're Awakened in chapter 64.
Hey this is burning a hole in my head and idk why I cannot find an answer. Do you know why the sorceress (and hoid) can use aon dor on this planet? I thought u had to be in or near elantris to use this magic. Thanks!
The Ire have developed technology to pump the Dor from where it is. We get a glimpse of that in Secret History.
Im pretty sure we dont know for certain, but it involves conection shenanigans
She had a map of Lumar on the floor of her ship, which as far as we know is what's needed to hack Selish magic to work off-world.
SPOILERS FOR LOST METAL
That's what Shai did as soon as she stamped herself into an Elantrian.
You should make a video on Malwish Disks.
The Medallions? Yeah, mechanical investiture access rather than inherent access is really interesting. I touch on it a little bit in this video (th-cam.com/video/0CdpL2zYsPU/w-d-xo.html) but it could use a more in depth and updated review.
I'll add it to the list!
So is Aluminum considered a god metal?
Not that we know of. Though there are some theories about it being Adonalsium's metal.
Since bone spores are described as black and white in conflicting reports, I assumed they were white sand cuz doesn't that turn black when expended?
That's the popular theory, yeah. We haven't gotten confirmation on it though.
To be fair to Sando, on this clip you showed he only said SP1 would be the least relevant, not the one with the least connections. Does it have a TON of easter eggs, new info, confirmations? Yup, so it’s VERY interesting to us readers. Will it be relevant to the greater Cosmere story? Meh, debatable. Will it push the plot forward? If it really is far in the future, my guess is not so much, if at all. (but don’t mind me; a friend of mine keeps accusing me of being a “denotativist”, so I had to point this out even if u only called Sanderson a liar for the sake of the video - which, by the way, was great) :)
It's true; I was intentionally obfuscating a little bit. Though I'm pretty sure Hoid becoming an Elantrian - something he's been trying to do since Brandon's first published book - is pretty relevant.
Thanks!
The people that you saw wearing sandals and socks at the same time might be German tourists. That is a trademark for German tourists.
They were Gen Z in Costco. Possible, but unlikely.
Yep, hardly any connections at all.
He's a big fat liar.
The 10th heightening? Did I miss something?
He uses a mental command to tie up Crow, which can only be done at the 10th Heightening.
Petition to change this channel name to "gloopy monster boys"
That's the new term for Sanderfans from now on!
Bone spores are white sand from taldain
Possibly, but we have no confirmation of that.
Unfortunately socks with slides have been back for a while :)
What is the world coming to?!?
And I'm here for it
But then I live in the Netherlands
@@TheCosmerenaut Clearly our world has been cursed by Riina.
