Tango had initially not wanted hermits to watch other people's DO runs and wanted everyone to learn on their own. He just kind of gave up on that because everyone enjoyed watching other people so much. So you're playing the way it was meant to be played!

Hey iskall, this is quite a common misconception about monsters triggering shriekers. Tango has pointed out that it is not possible for any monster to trigger a shrieker and generate clank

[@slimecubeboing]

Mobs can trigger sculk sensors, but only players-made sounds can trigger the shriekers that the sensors are connected to, and clank is detected by shriekers

[@Mortexize]

Imagine mobs being able to trigger shrieker, that would mean a warden would be able to spawn in areas where there's a naturally generated shrieker close to a non deep dark biome :D

[@RyanEglitis]

Shriekers only react to players, so you don't have to worry about bats or ravagers increasing clank. I'm also sure a lot of people will mention: when you use a key or open a door back up, it swaps treasure/embers to only drop on the next floor you're "going to." So you deactivated all your level 1 treasure drops on the run where you tossed in the key "for fun"

[@Ironsight_Army]

Tango confirmed that only players will set off shriekers

[@astra1288]

yeah you can see bats and ravagers setting off the sensors, which is what causes the confusion, but shriekers only go off for player movement or other player actions

[@lucianoariasduval]

A little bit of info that should be on an FAQ: 1. Bats and other mobs can't trigger shriekers, they trigger the skulk sensor but it doesn't give you clank. 2. You have to get the artifact either way to collect your loot, so 3 clank now or 3 clank later makes no difference. Having the freedom to book it whenever you want is probably optimal: you want to get the artifact out of the way ASAP and then hang around for a long as you reasonably can.

[@myrandamiller91]

Untrue: Max clank stops treasure/embers from dropping, so you really want to loot first then get the artifact and go.

[@bruhbutton4520]

3. Dont open doors to lower levels, if you dont need to, as treasure will start to be distributed down there and you will get less on your level.

It is just a shortcut you can refer to Hypno's video where he was completely blocked from progressing due to hazard blocks and a ravager and had a chat with tango about it and tango added a path so that they can progress at the cost of a few hearts (there still might be some secrets hidden but it is added very recently)

Every time you set off a shrieker it increases clank. So avoid shrieker locations or sneak near them

Same remark. Running and jumping is okay, but please don't run & jump on locations that do have a shrieker, once you have triggered them once.

None of the passive mobs or ravager cause skulkers to trigger. Tango explained on a stream.

Make sure you record each run. The system for distributing shards is based on your performance as tracked in the community document. If you have a run that isn't shared or streamed, you might want to message tango and let him know if you escaped the dungeon and how many members you had at the end. Tomes are now just for gaining victory points based on your standings and do not impact shards in future weeks.

You are doing so well! Good job on exploring the second level and finding creative ways to dodge the ravagers. You'll be speeding it in no time.

[@forderdrek8757]

Something you might not be getting quite right is that the artifact value is not based on the level it's on but the difficulty you select so if you go for medium, both lvl. 1 and lvl. 2 could have a 21 ember artifact, it's just that a lvl. 2 deposit place has a higher chance of giving you a higher value artifact but both could give you anything between 16 and 21 embers ( no deposit location has a fixed artifact it gives every time, which artifact you get from it is randomised once you throw in the compas )

[@0Panisch0]

Some advice: 1. You should watch all your runs again and look for errors and missed opportunities. It also helps to get familiar with the map layout. Because you could have made it back in your last run, if you went straight instead of turning right where you passed the Vex. 2. You already started doing this but think at the beginning of the run where you want to leave the ravagers. Because it is easy to loop when all the doors are open, but it sucks if you return and the only open path is blocked by a ravager. 3. As you also figured out, there are zones for the ravagers, which they cannot leave. Use one run to figure out the different zones and how many ravagers are in each zone. This helps alot with your planning, when you know that you have passed all ravagers of a zone. But it is really impressive how you looped around the ravagers on level 2. You have everything to become one of the best, with a bit more map knowledge and a better understanding of the game mechanics.

[@4203105]

Picking up the artifact does give you clank, but you need to pick it up anyway. So it really doesn't matter when you pick it up, unless you can time it with some clank block. I'd say the best strategy is to pick it up early, so you know where you are at heart-beat wise, and then go looting afterwards. But opinions may differ.

[@Xacris]

That was so much fun! Those last couple of runs had me on the edge of my seat!

[@alexwardlow178]

Awesome runs Iskall. That last one was so tense. Tip for you: DO drops treasure on the lvl it thinks you are currently at. So when you put in the key for LVL2 it starts dropping treasure down there, and stops dropping treasure on LVL1. So do not put the key in unless you intend on going down

[@mysticlatis6796]

Iskall! That last run! You did such an amazing maneuver in the mushroom area, dodging TWO ravagers! And then die 15 blocks away from the exit! My heart broke for you, but you're getting better and better really fast! Keep it up!

3:45 bats trigger shulk sensors BUT this wont hurt you because it is ONLY a player that also activates nearby sculk shriekers. They can fly around the sensors all day (and they will activate them) but until a player walks by the signal for the shrieker wont happen (and thats what gives you crank.)

[@victornoname7269]

Holy cow, Iskall is so good at dodging the ravagers! Probably the most skilled of any hermit I've watched play. Guess that's from all that speedy vault running in VH. I feel like Iskall is really good at running, but he keeps dying because he also pushes his luck much further than most of the other hermits. Which is cool because he seems to be learning the game super fast, but also sad because he's not getting any rewards for it. I want to see him get some wins for all those great runs! I would love to see him get to build his deck out further and what he could do with more buffs on his side in the dungeon. Crossing my fingers that the dungeon is nicer to him next time. Also I would absolutely love to see Iskall do some runs at a time when Tango is online. I really want to see his reaction to Iskall's crazy jukes. Listening to his commentary would be gold.

Interesting! Normaly if you use a key to unlock level 2, Tango programmed the game to stop dropping treasure on level 1 and drop it on level 2 instead. But after you used the key and stayed on level 1, it continued dropping treasure on level 1. I wonder if that's a bug or if he programmed in an additional check to see if the player is on level 1 still.

[@goodraninja1415]

Maybe treasure drops switch to whatever floor the most recent shrieker was tripped on? No idea if that’s how Tango did it, but *if* he did it, that’s probably how

[@same984]

Is it a possibility that playing the original decked out is what inspired Iskall to create vault hunters? There are a decent few correlations between the two…

[@ace20jk]

Vault hunters came before decked out I think

[@cameronsharples2544]

No because he said he was planning vault hunters since s5 of HC

[@inspirednamehere6166]

an extraction looter game is a fairly well established idea, but the first decked out would definitely have provided a good model for how it would work in minecraft and would likely have significantly affected the final outcome of vault hunters

Vault hunters has its own gimmick of risking all your equipment. I haven't seen this idea much. The only two games I can remember is EVE Online and Escape from Tarkov.

[@ferdymommers7022]

[@the_mcscientist]

Iskall's biggest mistakes summarized (spoiler free): 1) Bats don't generate clank, they only trigger the skulk sensor, says Tango 2) Buying a victory tome at the beginning of a new fase 3) Opening the caves of carnage when you are searching for a level 1 artifact, it will stop treasure and frost embers spawning on level 1 4) You can't use F5 in the dungeon 5) Remember your exit route and don't run straight into ravagers 6) The value of your artifact is random but the odds of getting a higher value artifact get better when you select a greater difficulty. For example you can get 'death loop' for 13 frost embers on easy difficulty and that is on the higher end for easy difficulty, but you can also get it when selecting medium difficulty and getting a comparatively easy artifact in the caves of carnage, but there you just got unlucky. Please learn from your mistakes, your last run was great!

[@asseenontv247]

Heads up. The bats and other dungeon mobs can't increase your clank. The noise they make can't trigger shriekers because of the way vanilla Minecraft works. That's what Tango has said anyway.

Today's Fact: In 2021, scientists discovered a new type of insect in the Amazon rainforest that has a 'disco ball' head, reflecting light in all directions.

[@zockingtroller7788]

That sounds like a boss from Pikmin 4. Cool

[@seawaveleo]

13:50 that was so impressive how you navigated through the cobwebs, ik i would’ve immediately gotten stuck lol

[@mollypontmercy7322]

Loving watching the server get so into this game, having a great time seeing how you all go about the game so differently. I love your approach of organic self learning, it's going to be super interesting to see how you go compared to the hermits who are sharing info and strats.

3:52 Don't worry about the bats. Tango made it in a way that only players set off the clank system by making sounds.

[@sixiqgenjimain]

Hi iskall! Just thought you should know only players can trigger shriekers, so bats can’t generate clank. Also whenever you hear the ding 🛎️ sound that means treasure dropped nearby (it’s a note block sound so it’s directional, you can tell where it is thanks to that) and the “toot” sound is the same but for frost embers. Once you get to max clank both of them stop dropping, and whenever you put a key in to another level the game starts dropping treasures and embers on that level (so when you go to the kneeling man and give him a key you will no longer get loot on level 1) also on the right side of the scoreboard tango put a lectern explaining explaining the new scoring system, I believe you no longer need 1 victory time each phase. Hope this helps!

[@peskybird7627]

Mobs such as bats don't trigger shreikers. They only trigger sensors, which don't do anything regarding your clank level.

Me: I will sleep tonight because I have school tomorrow Iskall and Grian uploads Me: anyways

[@andrzejzoll952]

That was awesome! Thank you for fun runs ^^ Also - you are *amazing* at dodgeing ravagers!

[@polelot5824]

Iskall, the key is a treassure drop; it has a chance to be dropped instead of coins/crowns any time the dungeon drops treasure. THe dungeon has a natural slow treasure drop rate (unlike embers which require cards) but having more treasure hunter cards will increase your chance of getting a key early. Also a note on how treasure cards work: its not a 1-1 drop rate: a card of +4 treasure wont release exactly 4 treasures into the dungeon, but rather has a chance send out a signal 4 times to each dropper, with each one then having a chance to actually drop something (I think tango said the probabilities average to a rough 1-1, but just note there is some chance to it)

[@mementomori5580]

Don't worry, Tango changed how many Shards you get per Phase and how much bonus you get. You're not getting somewhere between 8 and 14 shards depending on the amount of "Frost Embers" you get out of the dungeon (which is also kind of an estimate. Tango said that you should either record every run and/or tell in your Discord to him how much embers you got (or just post him the (raw) recordings)). The one with the lowest amount of "Frost Embers" gets 14 Shards, the one with the most amount of "Frost Embers" gets 8 shards and everyone else gets somewhere in between depending on your "Frost Embers" (based on a linear interpolation from the most to the least). Regarding the Victory Points: The Tomes are counted PER PHASE and are also removed PER PHASE. So if you have the most amount of Victory Tomes in a Phase, you get 6 Points and then are reset to 0 Tomes. There is a bookstand next to the Score display telling you how many points you get per phase depending on your standing within that phase.

[@SunflowerMead0w]

WOW!!! You’re the first person I’ve seen to survive the spiders!! The SKILL!!!!!!!

[@liehei]

I'm loving your Decked Out videos Iskall! For not having watched any of the other Hermit's runs you're doing great. Good for you doing it your own way!

[@EarlLeeByrd]

Noooo!!! So sad you didn't make it with your eye, you were so close!! Really wanted to see you read the flavor text for the artifact as well ;-) Also, pro tip, there's a shortcut to the exit that would have totally let you make it out on time (just passed the berry campsite on your way out), the first time you checked it out hazard had closed the door so you've always just assumed it was a dead end since then.

[@MordecaiV]

That first run was great! You could really see all you'd learned paying off right away.

[@theSybil]

How you juked those ravagers are INSANE!!! Good job, Iskall. Btw, Tango said if anyone falls into that icy pond trap, he will give them a frozen shard, just for a refund. So just talk to Tango! :)

[@humourlessjester3584]

That shortcut tango added is going to be pretty clutch though. So many hermits get stuch with trying to loop ravagers in that location. I believe you're the first hermit I've seen discover that.

[@the_picard]

So much fun to see you run! I jumped when that Vex got you!!

[@Windfighter]

aww I felt so sad for you because those last two runs! Getting stuck in the icetrap was hilarious though, sorry sir, I did laugh at you there ;) (I would absolutely have gotten stuck there as well though) You're doing good at Decked Out, it's fun watching you run around the ravager and getting into weird places! \o/

[@keithwiechart7744]

It’s supposed to be funny. Tango refunds a shard to anyone who dies to that trap without knowing about it. Tango knows a death like that is good content, but he’s not cruel.

[@julierosemodelproductions]

"i had to call people. it was scary." is such a mood lol very good run considering the internet was crashing!! gg

[@petalsemblance]

That last run was INCREDIBLE. I'm so heartbroken that you couldn't keep your eye. You're doing amazing with these runs and I hope you're having a blast! Loved this special and excited to try and catch you on Twitch, and if not, your next episode :)

[@PhoenicisEstuans]

Tango has explained to several hermits, but bats do not trigger shriekers, only players and their interactions can, and its the shriekers that affect clank

[@akrembug]

Ohh my gosh!!! That last run hurt so bad!!!! So close!!!! And with your own artifact! I am so excited to see more runs! Keep them coming Iskall!

[@o.k.productions5202]

🎵spiders to the left of me, ravagers to the right, here I am, stuck in the middle of DO2

[@abhijeetvdsh]

39:50 that's why you sneak it delays the vex... At least sneak before going down
