HermitCraft S9#13: Entering Decked Out 2

[@Cyrsztof]

Etho, I want you to know, that you can make those Decked Out episodes 3 hours long and everyone will be happy!

[@readingchameleon]

Or even post extra bonus decked out content as an unlisted video, we'll do anything to see more runs...!

[@MeechesYT]

I hope to god he sees this lol

[@wallyfarflinger]

He is unfortunately limited to 10 runs a week though, which means he can likely only make 2h30 or so of runs this week. Still not a bad amount of content though!

[@wallyfarflinger]

@@sninsilico with current prices he may be able to buy one, MAYBE two from the crown shop. If he was mostly buying treasure hunter cards, maybe he could do more, but if he keeps buying more ember seekers his crown rate won't really go up (nor will his embers tbh, I think ideally you want to stack treasure cards to get keys, so you can get higher difficulty runs for dramatically better artifacts.)

Etho rarely changes up his editing style (overtly) over the years, but the recent episodes having little editor's notes in the form of minecraft books is a really cool thing that I don't think I've seen anyone else do. It reminds me of youtube over 10 years ago when video makers added annotations. Lots of content creators add editor's notes in text just on top of the clips, but having the actual GUI for the minecraft written book pop up in the corner really makes it feel like it's part of the normal game.

[@Joe-jh2gc]

[@BlahCraft1]

16:53 Context: Because the armor stands weren't locked, Etho was able to put a Frost Ember in it's hand. Tango is spectating every run with free-cam, listening in with voice chat, map in offhand (not his usual totem), and is sitting in the dungeon so he can hear the sound callouts (the sounds have a range limit, so he can't be in the Great Hall with the rest of the Hermits). He hears that Etho placed an ember in it's hand, so he grabs an extra Frost Ember, and goes over to the shop area to give it to Etho. However, this was the first day of Decked Out 2, Tango is showing off his Dungeon Master skin, and is only wearing his Dungeon Master Hood (retextured carved pumpkin) and elytra, and doesn't have his usual feather falling boots on. So, when flying over to Etho, he falls down a short drop hole to get there, like he's done 100 times, and splats because he's got no boots or a totem. This is especially ironic given that as of this run, no one else has gotten a win, so not only does The Dungeon get it's first loss, Tango also dies.

[@mattloulou123123]

Etho please upload every Decked Out run in full. I will watch every single one!

[@BlahCraft1]

Unfortunately, Etho doesn't have a 2nd channel. KZbin''s video recommendations algorithm heavily penalizes a channel if they upload a video that gets much fewer views than is typical for said channel, like uploading large uncut videos such as a stream replay. 2nd channels help a bit with this issue by isolating viewers, viewers who watch the main videos are subscribed and consistently watch the main channel videos, and viewers who watch these long form vides are subscribed and consistently watch the 2nd channel videos. Knowing Etho, he won't make a 2nd channel, and once the hype has died down, his runs will probably a cut of 10-15 minutes in the middle of his episodes. Since he relies on his channel for a lot of his income, he can't be messing around and self sabotaging it by uploading videos that drag his channel down. That said, he frequently disregards what's generally regarded as ways to look good in the KZbin algorithm (Thumbnails, consistent schedule, telling people to like & subscribe, uploading shorts, etc), so he very well be uploading long form Decked Out 2 runs.

[@ziggybadans]

Watch Tango's 2nd channel! He's been doing livestreams watching the hermits play Decked Out and you can see it from his perspective as they go through the dungeon uncut. Super fun, probs won't do it forever but for now each of Etho's runs are in those videos, unedited!

[@BlahCraft1]

6:40 "Clank is based on distance you cover, and hazard is based on time" - Clank is also based on time, a little bit. Every 2 minutes (1st one is 1 minute in) a Stumble card (+2 Clank) is shuffled into your deck. Additionally, Treasure is a measure of how quickly you can "delve" into the dungeon, as the Keys needed to go deeper are a type of treasure.

[@P10ter_25]

Thank you. I've been trying to find out what is the stumble card for a little while now. Do you remember in which episode Tango describes it?

[@alexkuettel4131]

Tango did such a great job with deck out 2! Definitely a more than worthy sequel. The game's complexity seems amazing. Just from seeing the basic cards, there seems to be an important breakpoint where you need at least +1 ember drops to go from 6(lowest artifact) to 7(lowest permanent card) so I think etho made a wise choice. I would guess that unless tango plans on increasing treasure drop rate(he mentioned he might on stream today), treasure should be prioritized (after getting 1 ember card) so that one can sustainably run the dungeon. I think keys cost 32 coins(8 crowns) too... Treasure also has the added key drop rate benefit, and I honestly don't think level 2 is that much harder than level 1 in terms of difficulty compared to just how much better the rewards are. The main difficulty with level 2 is the access of keys, which treasure would also give. A successful level 2 run is easily worth 3 lvl 1 runs (the artifact is 2-3x more, and the treasure quality is better). To put it in perspective, 2-3 successful level two runs would give more rewards than all the hermit's day 1 runs combined. And it gets even better when you realize that a rare high ember raid is better than multiple low ember raids due to how the shop works. Also, im curious if decked out 2 will be like 1 where it had easter eggs/hidden opportunities that give huge advantages to whoever finds them first since this was something etho heavily benefitted from in the first game. I tried to keep the spoilers to a minimum and only used things etho knows and things tango has explained to him :/

5:48 is a little ambiguous, you do get more loot with higher difficulties, he has confirmed that the deeper you go, the better the loot pool for treasure droppers.

[@SnyperMK2000JclL]

Etho! Make sure to turn in at LEAST 1 Victory Tome each week. You need at least 1 tome submitted in order to be "in the standings" for the week. The players at the bottom of the standings (ie not top handful) will get BONUS Frozen Shards as a way to catch up to the leaders.

Tango did such a great job with Decked Out 2!

[@TSnorlax]

Watching you and the other hermits run the dungeon and your reactions has made every part of Tango's effort worth it. Love seeing how you approach it and can't wait to see you delve deeper.

[@neznor]

It was so great getting to see this from both your and tangos perspective, especially with how close those vexes came to getting you the first time. I can't wait to see more decked out runs from you! Good luck with your winter preparations Etho

[@Prince-vu4nf]

your runs were fantastic! wonderful job, Etho. you had hiccups from the dungeon and still managed to pull out two wins so early on! I can't wait for you to see the rest of the dungeon, and the artifacts! be sure to read them, because there's a lot of love and care in the artifacts alone. Tango's worked so hard for over a year, and it shows. thank you so much for your enthusiasm and excitement, and I can't WAIT to see more Decked Out 2 content!!

i just knew that we’d get a new hermitcraft vid when decked out released, he just can’t resist

[@BlitzDrAwS-1]

Ethos channel is turning 15 in 3 days and 30 Minutes! (I have been watching for 8 of those years)

[@kudner]

Can't believe Tango died and you survived lol. The stream was awesome

[@efrenarevalo2025]

Everybody I saw cut the "That's what she said" from Scar. I'm glad I watched this XD

[@SceptilePetile]

So awesome to see this! Have been really excited to see your content on decked out! Hope you’re taking care :)

[@mikeb8094]

The way you explain things is incredibly therapeutic to me. Between your voice and your cadence it just feels like your a dad explaining something to their child. If I ever have to make a recorded explanation of something I'm hiring you to do it, no matter the cost.

[@Vincent_Frog]

Not only do I have my snacks and drinks ready, but I have Ethos's newest video ready aswell! Thank you Etho, it's always a brighter day with your videos

[@BlahCraft1]

Everyone has different playstyles, and part of Decked Out 2 is building a deck to compliment your playstyle. Right now, everyone is just purchasing common cards (5), and Coin Shop cards (3), leaving little variation in their decks. Once we get out to Phase 3 to 4 (in late Phase 1 and Phase 2 we will probably start to see purchase of non-common cards, but they won't be done strategically, they will be done because that'll be the cheapest card they can afford), we will start to see a divergence in card choice, as each Hermit goes a different path, and I'm very excited to see where Etho goes. Knowing Etho, and after watching all his runs (as of right now, from Tango's perspective on Tango's streams), Etho will go for a very greedy deck. In DO1, he filled his deck with offensive cards that provided coins and soul flames, ignored defensive cards, instead relying on map knowledge and skill to dodge vex and ravagers, and practically ignored max clank. DO2 is so much larger that it makes its predecessor look like a proof of concept. I don't think, even Etho, will be able to ignore Clank and Hazard, like he ignored clank in DO1, his playstyle is very loud, he's usually escaping the dungeon at, or almost at, Max Clank. As such he may be forced to take a more defensive deck to offset his offensive playstyle. All in all, I'm looking forward to everyone's Decked Out 2 runs. There is an insane amount of competition to become the champion, so I wouldn't be surprised if Etho doesn't make it to the top 3, however, I do particularly look forward to watching him. Good luck, and have fun to all you Hermits... you'll need it.

[@charger8624]

I remember the last time he played decked out it took over the entire season. Cant wait for it to happen again!

[@NovastarDoughnut]

We all love etho. Etho isn't washed up. He never was. Still the king. the best. The GOAT (I mean, maybe that role is taken on hermitcraft but still)

[@RMBPrograms]

Love it! More full-length Decked Out 2 runs, please 😄

[@sepiasmith5065]

Words cannot express how excited I am to see more Etho playing Decked Out. As soon as I saw this video pop up I was like omg I need to go watch Tango's backlog! And now I've finished and seeing Etho's next upload is OVER AN HOUR LONG brings me so much joy. I love Hermitcraft, I love this channel, I love everything about this I have absolutely no idea what's going on in that standup room but I love it. Yet another day I envy Hermitcraft friendships

[@iveharzing]

Yes! Congrats on the multiple wins! Upload as much Decked Out 2 as you can! I absolutely love watching it. (I watched the entire 8 hour Tango livestream yesterday)

[@BlahCraft1]

First of all, great job Tango! I've been watching Tango's streams and VODs for the past year, and Etho's name always comes up. Etho, you might not realize it, but you did an AMAZING two first runs, and were a Decked Out Matador. In your first run, you got so unlucky with early hazard doors, that Tango thought that the game was broken. But you went on to not only lead the Ravagers like a pro with experience, not someone's first run (probably D.O.1 muscle memory), but also be the first person to win a game of Decked Out, and one of the few people to do it on their first runs.

[@Cynful27]

Woohoo! Nothing better than seeing an Etho video drop! After watching Tango’s stream yesterday, I fully expected a bunch of Hermits videos today and I am not disappointed. But when my favourite Hermit posts, everything else can wait.

[@Moe_Posting_Chad]

What a wonderful thing Minecraft has become. Back in the day something like Cake Wars or whatever that minigame Sethbling made was it. That was the apex of Minecraft meta-gaming. And now look how far we've come! What more amazing art will people make in another ten years?! What a special thing.

[@zephyrdreamcrafter]

Etho knows what the people want. I was just watching Tango's stream vod excited to see Etho's run when this was posted. I'm super excited for this Decked Out season, and I'm glad Etho is already enjoying himself.

[@benhatsor]

According to Tango, you should always submit at least 1 victory tome each week, as it will be converted into bonus frozen shards when the week ends (even if you don’t get points). Also, you can save up your victory tomes between weeks and submit them whenever you want.

[@OriginalCatfish42]

I have been checking every single day since Decked Out 2 was release, if Etho uploaded his first playthrough yet! Here it is!!

[@GrifterMage]

Really appreciated seeing your perspective of those runs. I was watching Tango's stream, and it was amazing from that perspective, and even more so from this one.

[@BakerPeter]

Let's goooooooo!!! Can't wait for more Decked Out content! Perfect in game audio balance by the way.

[@fdagpigj]

I think hostile mobs sounded a bit quiet, it was hard to hear them sometimes

[@JeraWizard]

I think what most people aren't realizing when commenting how funny it is that Tango really wants to play the waiting room game -- he's delighted to get to play a game that he didn't design, and rest for about five minutes lmao

[@ChelseaRFord]

ETHO HAS BLESSED US THIS DAY!

[@levchenkodarya]

I'm glad that Etho put the footage from the Waiting Room, because I was very interested what was going on in there
