Everyone in Sanctuary would know what happened in Tristram. New Tristram was built in an entirely different location than Tristram (probably in an effort to avoid all the evil that Tristram soaked up). Look closer, and it starts to seem extremely strange.įirst, there is a difference between “Tristram” and “New Tristram” in Diablo III. That place has had some very bad luck, hasn’t it?” At first glance, this sounds like small talk.
The screenshot above shows the most curious piece of dialogue that Squirt the Peddler says. It’s hard to believe a little girl, all by herself, would fare as well.

Other vendors do the same, but those vendors are full grown adults who would appear to have a better chance in surviving an attack of flies, spiders, demons, or whatever else in Sanctuary they ran into.
Want to buy some of it?” This implies that Squirt goes out into the world and picks up “trash” to sell. Sometimes, Squirt will say “ I can’t believe what people throw away.
You should take a look.” If you play a male character, Squirt refers to you as “Hey Mister!” These types of statements aren’t so different from what other vendors say. “New goods today! Please look you won’t be disappointed.” If you play a female character, Squirt will yell “Hey lady! I got some new things. Squirt calls out to adventurers who walk through The Hidden Camp. Not the best place for a little girl to set up shop. It’s just a small camp, that is currently “hidden”, but that could potentially be discovered at any time. But, The Hidden Camp doesn’t have guards or soldiers to protect people from invading forces. One could argue that nowhere in Sanctuary is truly safe. It would be entirely possible for one of those adventurers to kidnap her, or for the creatures that attack players in Act II to invade the camp. Instead, she’s located in The Hidden Camp, waiting for random adventurers to walk by. Squirt isn’t in the highly populated Caldeum Bazzar. It makes it especially strange that Squirt’s parents are nowhere to be found. The rest of the kids in Diablo III are standing right next to their mothers or are in a populated town where there are lots of adults. He asks the player character what he should do now. There is a little boy in the Keep who learns that his father, who was a soldier, has died. One can reasonably assume that their parents are nearby. There are two kids who chase a rabbit in the Caldeum Bazaar, where there are tons of adults all over the place. In this blog, I will speculate about what Squirt’s backstory could be, based on the scant information that players are given about her in-game. She’s also the only vendor who has an amulet with her name on it – that just so happens to also mention the name of a god. Where are Squirt’s parents? She is the only child in the game who appears to be completely alone. Squirt, on the other hand, never specifically mentions where she gets her goods from. Players can easily find this out because those NPCs (non-player characters) clearly state it. Some of the other vendors travel into the sewers or aqueducts to pick up “trash”.
The Barbarian vendor in the Keep gets his goods from caravans that occasionally make it through the battlefields. Where is this kid getting the goods she is selling from? There are many vendors in Diablo III, but only one of them is a child – Squirt.
