[@MrMayhem010]

Grian being stuck outside during the beginning was so hilarious!

[@ickodelight5551]

Gem, I missed this so much. I remember watching videos like this back in 2018-2019 when you were making creative videos and tutorials. I miss this era of yours, but I'm so happy how much you have grown. Still, thanks for the nostalgia ( been with you since 10k subs ) love youuu

[@kj7964]

Yesssss so true

[@The_Folk_boy]

THIS IS LIKE MEGA BASE INVADERS!!!

[@PJOMincrafterhp]

Omg it is tho 😊

[@s0pw3st]

it could literally be called "fortress invaders"

[@crystalflwrs]

grian just being lost is SENDING me

[@avsisflying-whale]

The pillagers are giving Gem's "students" from Empires One lmaoo

[@4delicacies]

FORTRESS! Gems specialty!! also i have to say the captions on gems videos helps me lots, i love having captions while watching videos and it helps me lots to comprehend what’s going on on screen:)

[@tolsis]

👍

[@R3M1thatonekid]

Thought I was watching grains vid there for a second 😅not a normal gem watcher so does she do this all the time?

[@4delicacies]

@@R3M1thatonekid i think she started doing it at the start of this season or later? Yeah and grain does it as well and i appreciate it lots:) he’s done it longer for sure:)

[@armani_is_gucci]

The final boss not fighting back is CRAZY 😂 I can only imagine that "NO" was typed with all your fury.

[@AddNameLater2379]

Her explaining her thought process reminds me of DMing when I play DND with friends.

[@breadforall110]

My favorite highlights: Grian stranding himself, Skizz misreading Cottagecore Queen as Cottage Cheese, Joel shouting "I HATE THE BIRBS!"

[@spidybat7658]

Many of them call them birds

[@salamanda550]

Circular Castles just always put me in mind of BoTWs Hyrule Castle these days. Had that theme on in my head the entire video XD

[@kierianiis]

Oh Grian. Cheers to impulse rescuing him from the outside 😂

[@Cruxinoli]

Love how all the challenges Gem said a specific person would be good at managed to be beaten by the same person Gem said, she knows them so well

[@EPICGRIMREAPER]

She's a master mind

[@kelluk4580]

everybody goin “kill gem!”“kill gem!” and cheering is so funny and cute😂😂😂 i love this

[@Mithical_C]

I find it SO funny that Grian just went for that elytra the moment it was back in the chest, and that he was quite quick when it came to getting the key. I LOVE it (and I'd be doing the same)

[@joshuaschoenenberger]

Oh this looks like fun new video concept. The anticipation was well worth it.

[@Serenity-b7s]

I'm glad Gem put in so much effort into this I made it fun for all of us to watch❤

[@Moss-is-chaotic]

of course Grian found the button lol They call to him, and he has to answer

[@Weckacore]

Its cool to see Skizz join up so much after coming to Hermit Craft, he adds such a unique energy that the group benefits from.

[@EPICGRIMREAPER]

He has such a high moral energy which he has spoken about using in his old work spaces I loved his energy from being first introduced to him in life series

[@zanefromninjago6058]

These builds are why i absolutely love your work, in every building and every structure you always manage to give it a story and life that’s similar to one’s ive seen in super long dnd games. maybe i’m just a fantasy nerd but i love these builds SOO much. it’s also so obvious the thought you put into each build by making areas for each players strengths and weaknesses and it just amazing me how you can do all that and still have an absolutely stellar build at the end of it, love your work gem, keep it up!

[@AshleyLuna]

"Go click on the bed noobs!!!" My new favorite line from Gem XD

[@EPICGRIMREAPER]

Horn worthy

[@Chlo_21]

Woahhhh this seems like a cool new series!!

[@lyrai09]

That was amazing!! That castle/fortress is so pretty, and I love that you designed rooms with each of the others in mind.

[@TheStalitha]

This is so inspiring! I started making adventure maps in creative after the latest hide and seek series you did, but I ;lost steam recently half way through a project. This is ideal to get my mind back in that space! Such a fun map and a fun video to watch :) I love the explanations for how the map is designed!

[@deryorsh]

This reminds me on this mod from years ago where different kinds of Zombies tries to raid your Castle, really fun! (Invasion Mod, I think)

[@zachbrunstrup8231]

this reminded me of the old defending a castle from a raid videos!!! love this

[@Serenity-b7s]

Gen you are so talented and I have been a fan of you and your life series and hermitcraft friends! I love seeing you do fun things with your minecraft friends in every video ❤

[@erictri15]

Wow the amount of effort into this map is impressive!! I love all of the details in each of the rooms :)

[@twinklesprinkle1318]

Grian circling the whole castle at the start lol Very lovely build, nice!

[@aestheticvibe890]

I like their genuine laugh 😊 it so fun to watch them..

[@Turtle16834]

I LOVE THIS!!!!! You are so good at building gem ❤❤❤

[@Kavenbink56]

Yay I’m so excited for the new video! I’ve even got tea brewing :)

[@Drei-Tex]

Oooooooo more games

[@gothinbigcoat]

This was so much fun I love how Gem walked through her ideas while building; the map is so creative. Watching this reminded me of DND lol. I’m loving all the different games so far.

[@happyhattergamer8078]

Of course Grian finds the button XD

[@poppyameiIa]

31:46 “and we killed the woman of the sea!” JIMMY.

[@AverageJayce23]

The dedication to build something so beautiful and detail intensive for just this small mini game is absolutely insane. Props to Gem, this is outstanding

[@fictiondreemz]

At the very end, it was just primal screaming. That is a sign of a strong friend group.

[@webs4447]

Your castle shaping is so good!

[@Moss-is-chaotic]

Love how all of the mobs have silly names like "Cottagecore queen", "Annoying guy", and "Frankie"

[@lemonrinds8296]

Love your vids, Gem!

[@acethetitle]

This is the weirdest game of Chess that I have ever seen.

[@Itz_leo07]

Wow I love ur vids Gem for 5 years i have watched

[@uishaggy9995]

How fast have you grown. Or did time just fly by so quickly. The last time I watched you, you had 40k subs, and now, haha, you're so high up. I can only wish you luck to soar even higher. -An old subscriber

[@evo_is_confused]

OH IT'S THE GUESS THE BUILD SQUAD I AM SO EXCITED

[@JoeBerg38]

Loving this little challenge series with everyone! Very very entertaining

[@sirtainlee8725]

Ok, now it's certain. Solidarity must be joining Hermitcraft next season. I have to guess LDShadowLady (mrs smallish beans) might be as well.

[@Here_for_Jesus]

The castle if gorgeous gem you're so talented! ❤

[@Milly_The_German]

I cant watch rn but right when i get a chance im about time watch this! I cabt wait for this amazing gem post ❤❤🎉

[@BriannaQing]

Grian was so sad swimming

[@EmuTheEmo]

I spent all day in A&E so this is a nice way to relax now that I'm finally back home

[@PJOMincrafterhp]

What happened and where u hurt

[@EmuTheEmo]

@@PJOMincrafterhp I have a medical condition called Adrenal Insufficiency where by body doesn't make the correct steroids to fight stress or sickness and I went into adrenal crisis which can be fatal if not treated on time. But I'm all good now

[@davidtauriainen9116]

Grian used his one brain cell to explore the other way around the outside and was punished for it. He learned his lesson.

[@oc3a]

Of course Joel would murder the horses. Of course he would.

[@mrfoodarama]

Hope You're getting some good pictures of that dock, with impulse!

[@foreverwintertaysversion]

16:21 grian saying it’s like moana actually made me so happy because i love that movie so unbelievably much

[@Kpup-f6d]

Lol same!

[@dariaemagan5812]

First of All this is such an amazing build and also map Design. And gem knows them all so well, it all played out like she imagined. Also grian finding the button, who would have known

[@atariischaotic]

This is such a cool idea for a game!!!

[@Susan14.]

The baby zombies named fight me are so good 😂

[@JoveRogers97]

Jimmy "Is there a 'help the noobs' button?" 😂😂

[@liaracochran7879]

It's a good thing no one thought to use the Elytra to just fly through the windows of the final room, lol. Unless you didn't give them rockets.

[@savasyn]

This series is super fun, thanks for making it!!

[@evo_is_confused]

The fact that Grian found the button is 👌

[@jaunesmith0947]

Amazing castle Gem ❤

[@its_ira3154]

I absolutely love the chaos that occurred lol

[@Kaslana_Yumma_423]

19:28 impulse is so nice and kind

[@emmyj22]

The frenetic energy of the boys was amazing…

[@KevinChaires]

I love that Grian was the one who found the button hahaha

[@kimberly3200]

I love when y’all do things like this!! That was awesome, Gem. ❤😂

[@Greesher]

The end was so funny when they all just went crazy

[@16m49x3]

Should have ended with the final boss being Gem on her throne

[@luxskz58]

amazing build, amazing video, amazing group of people. love this!

[@Omegaproplayz]

I love how grian when the wrong way at the start

[@fleurcristal2697]

Anyone else would love to see more build tutorials from gem?

[@JonathanACarr]

Love these videos with the group of friends. Keep it up!

[@sethorlando]

i would love to see more world editing from Gem. this was so cool!

[@Katiemaesimpp]

This castle is so pretty I love your builds!!

[@BriannaQing]

Grian sounded so sad when he was swimming

[@laurenkate6005]

This is such a cool video concept! Love the build too!

[@sirtainlee8725]

They suffer from FOMO so they race ahead at all times.

[@Mayasoflya]

Wow, that was fun to watch!! Thanks, amazing build. Thank goodness for world edit.

[@qylanaobi1819]

Of course Grian found and pushed the button

[@lavfully]

They’re like rowdy toddlers! xD

[@ryankunkel9734]

Great new one-off idea. It does look like a lot of work but was very exciting to see the gang have fun with the challenges you presented 10/10

[@dean6757]

Well done. Great vid, great build.

[@ohhmangos]

YESSS I've been so excited for this video for the past few weeks ever since you first hinted at it!!

[@Максим-ь5ъ9м]

Oh this looks like fun new video concept Looks awesome

[@e.p23]

[@heroofll1578]

I got nothing to say but wow!! :0

[@asum-]

PLZ KEEP DOING THIS

[@lanaharris6338]

Oh, I can’t believe the final boss didn’t fight back! I wonder how different it would have been if it were a different mob 🤔

[@Elizabeth-ki4tr]

Another amazing video by Gem!

[@SlateTiara]

I love this video idea and whua your castle!! ♥

[@AnnaJack-e8g]

Thank you gem I woke up really sick this morning and this video really helped!❤

[@OrigamiMarie]

We did it? We're at the end? There's nothing left to kill? But I have so much murderous intent left. Oh! A Gem to kill!

[@arrow_awsome]

this casle is incredible

[@ItzMistyy]

ooooo so THIS was the secret project!!

[@reidabramowitz3888]

This should be a dnd campaign

This already looks epic
