Poor Iskall spends hours trying to capture phantoms using a complicated setup involving cobwebs, and fails... False just places down boats and has them instantly. :P Sometimes the simplest setups are the best ones!

[@Nugcon]

lmao

then kills them lol

_Brilliant but lazy_

[@davidsayas5775]

If Iskall wanted to just capture them he could just put minecarts, but he wanted to nametag them before...

@@PerfectAlibi1 Not at all. Have you watched the Hardcore Hermit seasons? False carries the team on her back each episode. I do love the Hermits and their shenanigans but hands down I think False and Doc are the only ones who legit know how the game is played.

[@bloodwolf2609]

@@Robert0Pirie I'm going to have to disagree, Cubfan has 2 Vindicators and also has an unkillable ender crystal with a survival beam. I'm not saying that anyone else isn't smart or doesn't have game knowledge but Cubfan definitely is the most impressive in recent videos imo.

[@abramthiessen8749]

Don't kill Joehills in your educational revenge maze. Revenge mazes are clearly school zones. He might xylophone at you angrily if you do, and he doesn't have much stuff which he will lose to the lava.

[@JB15944]

Abram Thiessen I would love some more angry xylophoneing

[@Yaratoma]

Use pistons to close off pathways and open new ones. Confuse him and make him go in circles.

@Andy Young signage is essential

It's a barrel of laughs just imagining what Joe would probably muse about while falling through those cobwebs ... can't wait for the real thing.

[@felixtemann1477]

It's a simple trap but quite unbreakable.

[@josephtiseo3303]

Par cor maze. If you jump the wrong way you get stuck with no way back. You could also put misleading quotes on the walls. He will stop to read them all.

[@Sidhe10]

That is the best! Quotes with words missing or the wrong words. He would spend an entire episode correcting the quotes

[@rfresa]

Parkour ;| And the best way to trap Joe Hills is definitely with words!

[@AYVABTU001]

Agreed! This is actually a good one. Attack his nature. I love it!

[@sevenfifteen]

I feel like the civil war is exactly what was missing! Not a war in itself, but team efforts, working together towards the same goals, interacting, being strategic and so forth. The result is obvious. The first war videos showed hermits giggling, laughing, being excited and just enjoying the good times together! And Falsie is like a cornerstone that the whole team can rely on. FUNtastic :)

[@RowanTS]

If you do nothing else with the ‘Pantheon’ bricks, I feel like you should rebuild it /inside/ the maze. Also maybe armour stnds/zombies with Cow heads perhaps as ‘Minotaurs’ somewhere inside the Labyrinth. I think he’d like the reference as it applies to both Greek Mythology /and/ his build.

[@kwagmier82]

I'd love to see this, but not sure if she wants to dig out an area for it to be assembled in. If she does.... this would be one of the more EPIC builds in the maze.

[@robinschuelke2056]

Or a bit of string called “magic yarn”

[@moukidelmar]

For your maze, add a minotaur by capturing a mob and dispensing a cow head on them. Armored zombies are the easiest option, but Vindicators pack more of a wallop.

[@Thimblebumble]

just have the rule saying "no digging through stone", don't specify that he can dig through dirt

[@keiyakins]

You could use stickies and an SR latch there. Easiest is probably pushing a block of redstone into place to power it, then having a button somewhere that triggers a second piston to push it back.

[@Jack-zz7bc]

Use a room to put the G-Team into a ridiculous spiral that leads them back to the beginning but close off the door to the spiral so they keep going.

[@camdenberka48]

Putting turtle master potions in the dispensers could be interesting. 60 percent slowness along with i think blindness would be pretty debilitating.

[@drew_gon1617]

I’d hide some pufferfish for some hidden chip damage, hide a few zombies in the walls for the noise and atmosphere, and ask Mumbo on how to make the traps self refreshing and reuseable

[@whiteredguard2518]

People turn corners quickly in mazes good opportunity for pressure plate traps and cobwebs

[@w0t3rdog]

Pufferfish player detector. Added bonus, annoyment and pain.

[@TimothyChapman]

Well, now we know who the more skilled Phantom catcher is. Your skills on not spoiling traps need some work, though. Those cobwebs would be great if they were complemented with splash and lingering potions. Wait, why am I giving tips to the team I'm against? Oh right, one of my three favorite Hermits are on this team. The suspense is killing me! PS: For the center pistons, put some solid blocks on top of the pistons and run the redstone on those blocks. In fact, you can just put solid blocks on top of all the pistons and run a single repeater into the blocks, powering all of the redstone on top of the blocks that are on top of the pistons.

[@Nyerguds]

Just put blocks on top of the pistons to power them. And, if you put the tripwire in the middle of the area that gets suffocated you're sure they can't escape.

[@JukeboxJake]

Put dirt barriers on other parts of the maze that dont do anything so he doesn't think anything of the trapped dirt.

[@matthewhardy2739]

Hide turtle eggs under carpet, and the carpet will break if joe stands on it for too long. Maybe above a pit or something

[@AverageXennpai]

So the NHO can fine Joe for stepping o turtle eggs

[@michaelhafermalz7045]

Hey False, to add a sense of urgency to the web trap, place lava under most of it so Joe will have to travel horizontally extremely slowly to reach the safety of solid floor before the final drop out of the webs.

[@hyphenatedgames2954]

A false path using ghost blocks triggered by a mandatory pressure plate near the entrance that will make the server kick them for flying could cause some confusion

[@brigoth7787]

False you are a pro... won't forget the clip from Impulse's video of you water bucketing Iskall leading to his death and you just catching those phantoms like they were butterflies put one of those turtle potions on a pressure plate to make him run slower

[@wyverntail]

if you cover the floor of the maze with carpets, you can use redstone ore and an observer to make a really hidden pressure plate instead of expecting joe to break dirt

[@lordmctheobalt]

You need to put lots of signs in the maze to reaaly give Joe a taste of his own medicine

[@MegaMementoMori]

I would leave a bunch of tripwire hook, 90% of them would do nothing and a few would be actual traps, through which one would fall to a room filled with stuff, like water or slimes or burning netherrack. Also you could make a few switches which would change the layout of the maze by pushing pistons with stone blocks around.

[@mradibs8889]

6:25 nice catch... 2 phantoms in less than 30seconds... I believe iskall needs to learn something from this video :p

[@tehNashty]

Trap idea: Use puffer fish detectors to swap tunnels behind intruders. ie, after someone walks by a pufferfish, 2 pistons close off the way back and 2 more pistons open a way forward (swap) that are all out of sight from the puffer fish area. Can also have puffer fish detectors near the swap to delay the pistons until no one is near enough to see the swap happen. Just to clarify, the maze route will change (swap) as intruders push forward. Ask ImpulseSV about it.

[@Y2Jayy]

Iskall : Takes 3 hour and catches 0 phantoms False: Takes 30 seconds and catches two. Hilarious

[@rfresa]

I never thought of using a redstone torch on the back of a block to trigger a trap when the block is broken. Redstone experts would use an observer, but I think you should do more redstone because you clearly have the mind for it!

[@Jack-zz7bc]

Use slabs on the floor to make it mob proof, than take away the torches. Put a hole into an obsidian box just around a corner for him to fall into.

[@maxgreece1]

If you put blocks in top of the Pistons and then power those your trap won't need rebuilding each time as the Redstone won't pop off.

[@RyanEglitis]

Use a pufferfish player detector to close up the entrance to the maze once they enter it. Bonus, you may also poison them. The setup is a Pufferfish in a waterlogged bottom slab. It triggers a tripwire layed over that block when it puffs up. Impulse & Doc have both used them this season, so they could help too.

[@Drawoon]

you can't put redstone directly on the pistons, but if you place blocks on the pistons and redstone on top of that, it should be fine :)

[@ItsTripleAGaming]

6:20 those phantom trapping skills were incredible to watch! :D loving the war and the content, keep up the great work Falsie ;)

[@Garganzuul]

Fast dispensers with useless Curse of Binding items! :D Oooh and potion of slowness while being chased by spiders! >:D

[@tsguejay9928]

In labyrinth there was the 2 doors riddle. One door leads to the castle the other leads to certain doom. You can ask one of the guards a question. One lies, one tells the truth. could do that and let Joe choose which door to take. Have a sign that says "Back in an hour, on lunch break. Signed The two guards" So Joe has a 50/50 chance. Or he could have a choice to ask you or another star member a question. Loved the video. Great work. You found a way to catch phantoms fast and easy as opposed to others who build elaborate phantom catching traps. Had quite the giggle at that.

[@rfresa]

Instead of pushing a block into the player's head, you could have the pistons retract and drop sand.

[@yankeeace5027]

As an idea for the maze, have a couple of the pressure plates move a couple blocks in the walkway so the path back out is blocked off. An ever changing maze will be impossible to get out of.

[@KavkasToxin]

Make a really tempting button at the end which does something "nice" and also makes a huge area of the way out open up to lava. So when Joe tries to leave, his only option is to try to jump an impossibly long distance.

[@TheAmericanMuffin]

False you should use Redstone Torches as a lighting source to add to the ominous mood of the maze

[@davidgallo2927]

Maybe create some pressure plates that create or remove paths in the maze so it always changes. Edit: maybe put a vault there that's hidden in plain sight in the maze with a key to hide the STAR Team's most valuable items.

[@simeonr4767]

a good maze trap might be a pufferfish in a corner which acts as a player detector (ask impulse for explanation he has one in his base) which pulls out the floor possibly and drops someone into a prepared room with TRAP?

[@trindalas]

simeon rr a pitch black room(possibly even an infinity room with black map walls etc) with silenced phantoms would be nightmare fuel. Maybe even invis potion splash activated before they drop in. (Why am I giving ideas despite being on the G team side? Lol)

[@sharpfang]

Use pistons activated by pressure plate or tripwire, to change the layout of the maze. Close some corridors, open others. Using normal (non-sticky) pistons will move the 'trap' blocks into place and not retract them once he steps off the pressure plate or tripwire.

[@eliad6543]

Kill him at the end the same way Grian wanted to kill Impulse in his "hall of atonement". This will get him very, very mad since he went on a rant about the importance of education or something for two episodes when Grian tried to kill Impulse "in a schoolzone". If you put a dispenser with curse of binding leather armor named "Trousers of Truth" somewhere in the maze, it may give him a clue as to what's coming. He might het his xylophone out again.

[@ElementofKindness]

A pufferfish redstone switch far in the maze, to activate a few pistons out of earshot back near the entrance, to close off the entrance and open a new direction, would keep him confused and running in circles for a long time, if he tries to leave by the way he came.

[@dovahking6321]

Pressure plate doors + dark spaces = lost for hours

[@jackc789-j6w]

Revenge is never the way!

[@stevennatschke1287]

Recco: Take down the "Sears Tower" and re-build it within range of the guardians.

[@TimothyChapman]

I just came back from a few redstone experiments. Just place blocks on the CENTER column of pistons and redstone on top of those blocks. Then remove ALL of the repeaters attaching to the pistons from the sides. You only need one repeater going into that first block and that will power the entire trap. The trap will now be more responsive and won't produce as much lag.

[@nilaybk4468]

Rig some of the pressure plates with slowness potion dispensers for added annoyance 😝 Or, since joe likes wordplays, dispense some "tips" which may or may not be true throughout the maze..

[@RyanEglitis]

Make the whole floor of the maze soul sand on top of ice to make it extra painful to traverse. I also suggest having one path with a reward so there's an actual reason to enter the maze.

[@tron3747]

Taking down Joehills architecture are we?? Well well... We will be seeing interesting developments

[@IaIaCthulhuFtagn]

Well if your gonna be a combat architect, ya gotta build everything in one episode.

[@trindalas]

[@Nugcon]

RIP

[@magica3526]

with the cobwebs, add a button saying "press to escape" or whatever, then have it hit him with a slow falling potion

[@simonhylander1945]

There should be pressureplates in the maze. That will make pistons extend and push out a new stone wall. Like the maze is changing

[@piranha5211]

Iskall is gonna burst a blood vessel if he watches this episode and your phantom catching skills.

[@tetsujin_144]

Regarding the maze and the lava/no-lava option: How about put some sensors (pressure plates, pufferfish sensors, etc.) in the maze to attempt to verify that he follows the course you've laid out for him. If it looks like he bypassed portions of the maze (that is, if the sensors were triggered out of sequence or some of them were skipped) - then activate the lava!

[@lucidmoses]

You can change the maze while he is in it by pistoning up and down some stone to to make passages disappear. That will make it more confusing an take longer. Make sure to do it out of site cuz he will hear the pistons.

[@antimonymedusa]

You could exploit the “follow the left wall” rule by making a path that goes in a spiral, up, and then when you get to the end it drops you down where you started. You could make it especially vexing if you have a helpful sign telling maze users to follow the left hand wall, while the right hand path, if followed, is nothing but dead ends, and the path out of this area is only revealed if you do hug the left hand wall though a spiral, fall down and trigger an observer as you do, and then if you follow the left hand path AGAIN the way out is revealed.

[@adrazuel]

you should incorporate some bull imagery in the labyrinth for joe, theseus and the minotaur. he will like that, and it is relevant to the Parthenon he made

[@FinkPloyd504]

For the middle pistons you can put a line of blocks 2 blocks above and one to the side with torches on the side over the middle row

[@Magimasterkarp]

You could have a pressure plate that drops an armor stand with a creeper head or something in front of him as a jumpscare.

[@Eneicia2011]

Ok, a way to give Joe a scare without killing him: Put lava with either yellow, or orange glass over top, he'll see it through the cobwebs and get the scare of his life, but when he falls through he lands safely on the glass.

[@cullenhutchison6528]

Do a door trap where someone steps on a pressure plate and 4 iron doors close on them, and a block is above their head so they can't jump. You can also have someone fall through a hole into one of these.

[@circadianarchist]

You could use the pufferfish detector to take away the floor from anywhere without him having any way to know :)

[@GaudyMarko]

redstone advice: use blocks with redstone dust on top above the downward firing pistons so the pistons are powered from above and since you're doing a suffocation trap you need to either make a T flip-flop, or short pulse them probably with an observer or use a clock that keeps the blocks down long enough to do the damage.

[@1324cmoikev]

I'm quite good at making very confusing mazes, and on of the things I really like to do to make the super confusing, is making layers and make it so you need to fall in specific holes to found the exit or treasures.

[@vapor1ze]

I'd love to see a parkour trap. Nice work on the phantoms. Iskall could learn a thing or two.

[@Shadow8332]

Team-G definitely didn't build anything in team STAR's base

[@mebejoel1984]

Hahahaha!!! Iskall tried for hours and couldn’t even catch one phantom! The fact you caught one in a matter of seconds is hilarious!

[@pulsefel9210]

Idea for a game: maze with a timer, fail and pistons push all the ceiling blocks down for long enough to kill before resetting.

[@youraveragejoe-]

Symmetry, I inquire that you add some secret activation in the maze, at crossroads. A pufferfish activation works, But a tripwire is visible. If chosen to run through the intersection on the right path you would in theory just barely make it through without the floor falling out from under you. If you were too slow in choosing and hesitated, you would fall through. You add this method for changing routes, Extra traps, Search up hidden player sensors. Edit: add signs to attract attention of wanderers slowing them further down if they choose to read them.

[@trindalas]

Raynor Ezekiel I forget who has it but one of the hermits has a completely invisible detector door using a pufferfish in the wall that activates a tripwire farther in the wall. Easily able to be repurposed for traps.

[@trindalas]

Daniel Barnett ah ok. I always forget because I watch like 6 or more hermits, lol. It’s an awesome detector door though.

[@bakerp_5163]

Use the same concept that you used to make the fall away floor but using a pressure plate instead to seal off the entrance. Then he has to go through the maze rather than find his way back out

[@nopheo]

i bet the puffer fish player detector like impulse(?) used for a secret door could be a cool addition to the maze.

[@redjive2465]

Add a trap that drops them into a pit of cobwebs with lava at the bottom but have a simple repeater timer or observer block system that puts blocks under them right before they go into the lava

[@mitchjmac]

Ask impulse about his invisible pufferfish player detector. Would be great for triggering traps

[@mradibs8889]

Place blocks with redstone line on top of the middle piston, that'll work.... love the maze, such simple traps, who would've thunk? Trap idea: put lava underneath the cobwebs, that way whoever fell will have a very slow death right infront of his eyes... LOL

[@nategoss902]

I think it would be hilarious if he goes up a bubble stream or a long staircase and realizes that it led all the way back to his base and it was a waste of time! :D

[@oppaisaitama3305]

Here's a fun trap putt TNT in a Two by Two in the underground and connect it together with redstone and some pressure plates above the TNT under the dirt to the battlefield :D

[@gnomonthegnomelover7006]

Maybe you could leave the base dark for mobs to spawn and move using invisibility.

[@Libraven.]

False you can easily fix the center 3 pistons by placing blocks onto of them and put redstone on top of those blocks

[@trindalas]

Oh jeeze, a dark room full of silenced phantoms would be pure nightmare fuel for sure. Also pufferfish in the wall to activate a tripwire for like a lava pit or maybe dropping into the phantom room would be a nice trap. I’m more on G Team side but it would still be entertaining. You could also get Doc or someone to set up some redstone to make a piston bouncer to bounce them back to the start at certain dead ends. Gonna be honest though I’m kinda sad I didn’t get to see the Parthenon in a finished state, even though it was definitely a crazy, cheeky build, lol. You could bait him in with a book in an item frame saying where to go if he wants his Parthenon supplies back with a sign with his name on it above it.

[@SciStarborne]

Put a layer of glass with lava under it at the bottom of the slowfall trap so he thinks he's dropping into lava but isn't. He probably won't be able to see the glass through the cobwebs. Troll the troll. :3

[@FrizCritter]

You should add some dirt occasionally, and in the pathway every now and again, so he doesn’t think the trapped one is suspicious 🤔

[@robinschuelke2056]

Add a bit of string at the start named “magic yarn” I think he’d like the Greek mythology reference

[@mine-animatoin0404]

you can place blocks on top of the piston and put redstone over it and it won't be a one time thing

[@twokent8397]

You can place top slabs on the mid pistons and that will not break the redstone. Just a tip.. try to hide the holes for tripwire somehow. Good luck!

[@Gervin-ff8dl]

You could do a second suffocation trap but instead have them walk into the room and have pistons close the way out and then have dispensers above them shoot out water

[@ThePerformerMan]

you should put creepers in the drop so it's more silent and still lethal, get some wither skeletons and give them armor and strength, and then make a turret of blazes!

[@quillometer]

you should put a dispenser with slowing arrows, glowing arrows and poisoning arrows in them under the pressure plates.

[@ryanyang3123]

Don't add kill traps. Get mumbo to help you make it so that pistons slowly close him in a big circle and trap him

[@beatles9880]

make it so when Joe goes into the maze he cannot get back out the same way and make more pistons above the trip wire in suffocation trap.

[@Jaskoskanal]

That's crazy. We see Joe's building getting down, before he were able to finish it nor upload the video.

[@doctorc8852]

False do a pufferfish player dector which will randomly close a pagh when joe is near by. So that he is both thinking that worse traps are actavated, that hes completely lost, and that he has messed up and not set off the right traps to progress. See impulse for more info on them if needed.

[@thomis9111]

Make the maze snake up and down in the z direction, loads more confusing. You can make it loop back on itself without intersecting

[@StartingOut_]

Have joe walk into a room where he sees three doors and has to solve a riddle to figure out which door will lead him out of the maze

[@halyenwe]

False, I hope you have further plans for the skeletons in the storage room. Suited diamond armour with power V flame bows? Have Doc rig them to coincide with the Bouncing Betty trap.

[@b-mann88r33]

Nice traps false. Yes dispensers with poison arrows/instant damage should do it & one with instant healing hidden somewhere. Lots of signs to mislead him. A water drowning trap could be sweet! lol.

[@ninjabatcoon6646]

False, you should put the tripwire under the pistons so it’s more likely they’ll get suffocated.

[@Drawoon]

if you really want to annoy Joe you could place pressure plates everywhere in the second stage, that open and close new ways
