I'd like to thank Tango, Grian, and Iskall for giving us so much Etho.

[@supercool_saiyan5670]

I hope he doesn't get overwhelmed though we wouldn't want that

[@simic0racle157]

don't forget beef

[@112BALAGE112]

I'd like to thank BdoubleO's mother...

[@filipsichrovsky]

​@@supercool_saiyan5670well luckily he's limited on how much he can play secret life ;)

[@liamengram6326]

​@@supercool_saiyan5670I wouldn't worry about that. Secret Life is 1 3 hour recording session each week, and DO2 he is probably recording about 8 hours of gameplay and interaction per week and both require relatively minimal editing compared to a typical Minecraft/Hermitcraft Episode.

[@chl0391]

Can't believe how much content we've been getting lately, so grateful for it

[@Banana-sm5vc]

we are being spoiled I didnt get any work done this week but its so worth it

[@Werewolf914]

I agree Etho Fangirls unite!

[@AssassinAgent]

So much content that I haven't been able to keep my snabinet filled with snacks. There is no other downsides.

[@0void]

Glad he's getting some variety in to keep life interesting, although I can't wait for a good building and redstone filled episode.

[@ghostz_playz1st]

I feel so glad to be a ethoslab fan. We are now getting spoiled over here :]

[@richwilson7981]

Three hours of decked out. 40 minutes in the secret life. 30 minutes in vault hunters... So much Ethoslab all in one week! I love it! Thank you :)

[@itzBluPancake]

Another couple of tips... - Rather than manually pressing the sort container button, you can press the scroll wheel button instead - When you dash, the distance you go is determined partially by your current momentum, so if you jump and then dash, you go further - You can unlock stonefall as a skill for basically a water-bucket-clutch alternative (Although level one only negates half your damage, so it is better to unlock to level two) - Baby slimes don't do any damage, so killing them generally does more harm than good as you get poisoned as they die - You can apply jewels to your tool with just a regular anvil also - You can use dash to power your elytra flight instead of rockets - The village room (where you found the potatoes and carrots) has a house with a trapdoor that leads down to good chests - Also yes, the abilities in the second tab are active abilities, the ones in the third tab are passive abilities

[@Manboy133too]

EthoBoost!

[@clg190]

Those are some good tips!

[@elainettie]

Blu?!

[@beaniemcc]

even more so - the arrows down the bottom right of the chest menu are store/retrieve all.

[@JaegerDreadful]

AND PLEASE DO YOUR QUESTS!

[@jacobbenson9411]

Ergo is back in his 4-to-6-different-series-at-the-same-time phase and I’m here for it.

[@madeofmandrake1748]

Etho finding ornate chests: Oh cool this stuff is kinda neat Etho finding carrots and potatoes: OMG YES I needed this! This is amazing!

[@plantcraftie4141]

Ornate chests aren't rare at all... Potatoes & carrots are more rare so I get it haha

[@Ithenna]

Well, he is just starting out and had almost no food when he jumped into that vault, so I get it. Honestly there's times I wish the vaults were smaller and had no timer just so that I could spend time harvesting blocks, food, whatever in the vaults besides all the loot. There's some really cool blocks in there sometimes! At least the first room is free to harvest some stuff now though without taking time away from looting chests.

[@Darkwytch]

gotta have priorities, but i think he may be in for a world of disappointment if he doesnt make a pile of farms too

[@AndyK1970]

I hope Etho reminds VintageBeef every 5 minutes throughout the series that there's vein miner in the pack... Team Canada flies again.

[@wj11jam78]

Hearing Etho say "minecraft is my favourite game" makes me so happy. After all these years, he still loves the game enough to call it his favourite. I never doubted that he still enjoyed the game, but even youtubers who still enjoy minecraft rarely call it their favourite. Inevitably it get tiring after a while to most. So I'm glad Etho still enjoys it so much.

[@miasmi5992]

i love that Etho makes his base in the jungle in EVERY new series, the green grass is simply so important, its lovely

[@Bob_Smith19]

I don’t think he knows Iskall is in the same area.

[@eldrix654]

Seeing the small bdubs armor stand at the beginning gave me the biggest grin.

[@arobrien1990]

Applause for the O of Etho being the portal. Looks very cool

[@StephenSiu]

seeing etho get excited for all the food is too wholesome😂

[@jimvaneemeren6675]

Etho when you open a loot chest you can press the scroll wheel button to automatically sort the items in the chest. Then you don't have to hover over that thing to click it every time

[@jacobmurphy412]

Signal boost

[@Granularity777]

Came down here to find this

[@jordancarneola2962]

Cant you also just press the button in the middle to empty the chest all together?

[@Da_R3al_E]

actually, you can also use any button to do that... its in the keybinds section of controls

[@Ferrastar]

@@Da_R3al_Emiddle mouse button/scroll wheel isn’t typically the default though, and likely what it is set to in his pack.

[@Golden1064]

I cant believe they got an appropriately sized bdoubleo armor stand.

[@Crackingseen]

So excited for this!!! One small tip, you can use dash instead of fireworks for wings

[@DreamyDuskywing]

I knew that Etho would love Vault Hunters. The glee in his voice at points made me smile. I really look forward to these episodes and hope that there are lots to enjoy.

[@ohjearelle]

Decked Out, Secret Life, and now Vault Hunters - what a time for the Etho community! Thanks for all the amazing content, Etho! It’s always great to see you not only enjoying the game but also having a blast with other players and friends :) Looking forward to the series!

[@cineblazer]

ethogirls rejoice

[@sodalish]

They left DocM on the Hermitcraft server alone, interesting what he might get up to in their absence.

[@ohjearelle]

@@sodalish He’s tweeted about it a bit lol he basically almost killed the server

[@Psionic_Pizza]

​@@ohjearellewhat do mean killed the server?

[@ohjearelle]

@@Psionic_Pizza He was building at an area that kept his wither reactor loaded resulting in ~18K wither skulls frozen mid air

[@atomic3691]

Another episode?! You're spoiling us, Etho. We're going to suffer through withdrawal symptoms if your upload rate starts to calm down.

[@series161]

I thought exactly the same, it's gonna be hard 😭

[@xtristianx]

18:11 etho attempting a water bucket drop whilst saying “we gotta practice our water bucketing, ohhh- ohh- very much so, we need to practice it” is peak comedy LOL

[@iii8251]

Really excited to see you play this pack! I think Iskall and his team have really made something special here; hope you enjoy it!

[@Erindere]

ETHO PLAYING VAULT HUNTERS?! Today is a great day!!! Etho - I hope you enjoy this mod pack! Iskall and his team have made a wonderful thing here and I really think you'll enjoy it!!

[@NjniaVanDerWald]

do you think this pack has vein miner?

[@visionac1385]

@@NjniaVanDerWald Yes it does

[@SamBorgman]

I don’t get this pack. You just constantly loot for stuff? Then what happens? What do you do with the loot. And how long does it take to find every item in the game? Every time I watched Iskall before, I saw him looting. Makes no sense to me.

[@ladiesman4454]

Craft crystal’s with vanilla farmable items. Use crystal to run vaults. Get vault items. Use vault items to unlock mods and craft items to farm and create power to generate farmable items. Repeat

[@SamBorgman]

@@ladiesman4454 I knew it. Very boring and aimless. Grind for the sake of grind.

[@Jakedaniels3914]

I really recommend reading through all the info for your quests. You can even go to very bottom of the page to reread old ones you’ve completed. Those tasks explain all that you need to know about the game 😊

[@boneytonez]

I love how Etho just casually dodges two arrows in the beginning while giving an intro.. lol truly a professional

[@magicmantot7420]

I’ve dreamed of Etho playing vault hunters, this is going to be epic

[@xittttta6074]

Congratulations Etho on the 2500th videos uploaded!! This world is so much better with your videos

[@kor3ann1nja]

The amount of Etho content recently has improved my mental health by immeasurable amounts

[@MagsTheOmnipotent]

this is true

[@NonCreativeRage]

nice

[@SirTimid_]

Words cannot express my excitement for this series. The crossover between Etho and Vault Hunters is something I didn't expect but I am soooo grateful for. Have fun Etho!

[@thewebcamboyz]

Etho gonna need to hire an editor by the end of this year 😂

[@emperor_putenskiy]

This is so much Etho content man, true heaven

[@PrettyOkayRay]

so pumped to see all these hermits playing VH! hope you all enjoy :)

[@Starhunter1975]

I love how Etho gets hyper focused on a type of game and when he can’t play said game, he finds other games that are close to the game he wants to play. Plus we need more random facts. Thanks for being Etho, Etho.

[@Heroo01]

I CANNOT stop playing this mod. It's exactly what I've been looking for and I didn't even know it. I'm SO excited to see more of Etho playing it. I hadn't even gotten it until like a day after this video came out but I'm already addicted. It's SO MUCH fun

@@mascotvt you don't have to be a girl to be an Ethogirl. After all, the number one Ethogirl is Bdouble0100

[@user-fi9st4uk6m]

As you've now got five concurrent series to be worrying about, I think we can call this the beginning of another Etho golden era.

[@arthurpiglin]

I've had the longest, most tiring day I've had in ages. To end it of with Etho content is more than I could ever ask for. Thank you so much, Etho, for making all these amazing video's. I adore your enjoyment of these games more than you could ever know. :) Ethogirls, strong together!

[@NionAge]

I would recommend binding a key to sort inventory, so every time you open a chest you click that keyband and they all sort instantly. Also, it's great to see the King of Decked Out (and other Hermits) joining a VH SMP!!

[@69Napalm69]

Etho vault hunters is 100% something I’ve wanted but never knew until now

[@jebinite]

I’ve been wanting Etho to play this for ages. So awesome.

[@twiggy1105]

I finally found a reason to watch VH series, Etho just makes everything better

[@LilyShard]

That cupcake bit was adorable I can't stop rewatching it

[@TheRedReid]

Etho is spoiling us. I'm so excited for this series. It's not the kind of pack I'd be interested in playing, but it seems absolutely perfect for Etho and his shenanigans!

[@spo890]

4 series by Etho? What a day to be alive.

[@whatadamsever]

Oh boy, I can't wait for Etho to figure out everything in VH, hoping for a lot of content to come (although 100 days seems like very little to progress a lot in this)

[@alex_cheeseboy]

The best advice you'll ever get just starting VH is **follow the quest line**, it is super helpful and it explains pretty much everything in the modpack!

[@Syphrael]

Literally just finished Iskall's video and saw Etho just uploaded, perfect transition!! Awesome to see that everyone is trying this together, its definitely giving me an extra push to try it myself! Ergo, your enthusiasm is so apparent and full of glee i habe to give it a go!

[@aidanmurray8283]

The amount of Etho we’re getting is incredible. I’m so exited for the series to come

[@muhdikmal434]

Etho i think the best first mod for you to unlock is the pouch mod it helps you become faster in looting vault bcs u dont need to stop to clean ur inventory u can set the pouch to pickup certain item so u can ignore the less important thing😊love your content and pls make more in the future❤❤❤

[@threeheadedmountaindew]

welcome to VH, Etho! we've been expecting you >:3 as a seasoned hunter, here's all of my early game tips: - FOLLOW THE QUESTLINE! it'll help you so much, and the rewards are really good! you'll get skill points, crystals, pouches (which pick up items automatically) and so much more! - craft a vial! i recommend either slaughterer or pacifist. all info is in the quest for vials! - keep kiwis on your hotbar. it could save your life lol - you can save on gunpowder and paper by using dash with an elytra! it's so good. investing in dash is key for moving quickly - organizing shulkers by loot type is excellent, especially ornate and gilded chests cause they drop unstackable items - have fun :>>

[@larshegeman2343]

Yeah another series! We are getting blessed!

[@jowi_24seven43]

I hope this will not turn into a series. I don't enjoy this mod pack at all. I've seen 10+ episodes of iskall to try to like it, but no

[@BobDawgs]

Super excited for this series, hope you enjoy the pack!

[@Macke0]

I hope this continues not just for the content but for the entertainment Etho is having in creating and playing these series. It’s also great to see Wels back with the crew. Welcome back!

[@Daxelot]

Etho this looks AMAZING!!! I love the aesthetic of it and zooming around vaults loot n' scooting is super funny. I can't wait to see what shenanagains you and the other hermits get up to!

[@anxiouspeanut3965]

I've been waiting for this moment for years. can't believe etho is finally trying vault hunters

[@rang3rj3sus94]

Get ready everyone! This is going to be a great series!

[@psycholamborghini4828]

I just started rewatching the first FTB hermitpack you player on with the hermits and this comes out! This is one thing I was not expecting to see and I am very happy

Etho actually blessing us lately

[@SceptilePetile]

Love to see the new series. Seriously so impressed with your content and enthusiasm lately! Hopefully your editing hasn’t been too much this past week!

[@davidhenry31]

Hey etho! I’m so freaking excited you’re playing this. I started watching iskall work on this for over a year and immediately knew you’d love this pack. Here’s a couple of QoL tips that might interest you: You can hot key “sort selected inventory” so that when you can sort the chest when you open it! You can use dash to fly with the elytra instead of rockets. You can also just use an anvil to apply jewels! You don’t necessarily need the jewel applicator right away. Also the village room you got has a basement with sweet loot inside but scary mobs. The rest you’ll figure out soon enough! Best of luck! Can’t wait to watch more of it!!

[@dreamthief9884]

wow you've really been a busy bee with creating so many videos for us, including two new series!! this was so much fun to watch, this mod-pack is full of so many fun possibilities and the fact that a bunch of hermits are playing it together is so exciting. really, thank you for the hard work you put into getting all these videos out! i've been having the best time watching it all :) i feel very spoiled.
