[@Zablan14]

This series really emphasizes Etho's loot goblin tendencies. "Ok we need to start skipping all the woodens" 2 minutes later clearing a room of woodens.

[@GrandAdmiralGonk]

Ethos with wooden chests is like someone cheating on a diet

[@Yamaelp]

he's pulling an Iskall. He does that . I need to stop looting X and focus Y . Immediately loot X lol

[@paxtonb.8437]

Or as he’s saying it, he mines a wooden 😂

[@melsunday1991]

The little freeze he does when he spots a chest, and silently loots it anyway@@paxtonb.8437

[@jakens2]

Btw, Etho missed a chest at 27:06 and then missed it again at 29:06 in the video. "loot goblin"

[@Jakedaniels3914]

I definitely count iskalls videos with Etho as Etho uploads when we get to see his base grow lol.

[@batt3ryac1d]

Lots of cool insider info too. Like did you hear they're changing cake vaults? And Etho is washed up!

[@loszeusgaming2604]

​@@batt3ryac1dalso etho wanna know which way is home 😂

[@vogelvrouw]

It's fun! First tangos vods were ethos second channel and now it's iskalls turn

[@ddSqueeze]

I would go as far as to say the majority of what Etho is part of doesn’t get posted as content on his channel. He’s just a gamer at heart, and he shows up all over the place in other people’s content just gaming with them. He shows up in a lot of VintageBeefs content too like he has been in Vodskalls as of late

[@NjniaVanDerWald]

@@batt3ryac1d and did you know this modpack has vein miner?

[@Waffles17643]

I always love ethos tool names and “not a hammer” did not disappoint

[@TheASURA_original]

Onion slicer

[@tomtexas4897]

But every tool is a hammer

[@Dithernoise]

In the first vault I was wondering if the time was really as tight as Etho said, but when he stopped looting coins I knew it was dire.

[@couchalmark675]

Scavs are never not tight. They're the hardest Vault type by an absurd margin.

[@apersonwhomayormaynotexist9868]

@@couchalmark675 it's not an absurd margin, they can all be tight if the RNG is bad and scavs can be easy if the RNG is good. Scavs are meant to be the most challenging though so it is true that their hardest RNG probably takes longer to complete than any other's hardest RNG but with their easiest and medium they're about on the same level of difficulty

[@couchalmark675]

@@apersonwhomayormaynotexist9868 In hundreds of Vaults I've never seen an easy or even medium scav. It's always been either right down to the wire, or, far more commonly, unbeatable. The amount of RNG rolls involved in whether you can complete a scav - what items you need, what chests they're in, whether those chests appear in any reasonable quantity, whether the enemy spawns contain enough of the enemy type that drops the particular color of mob essence you need - is much higher than the other objectives except maybe cake. Very frequently the amount of items you need from a non-wooden chest is so high that the only realistic ways to get that many are to find a dungeon or Omega room that happens to have that particular chest type. For comparison, elixir vaults are free, monoliths are just a matter of running between rooms for a few minutes, and guardians are a gear check. What the rooms themselves are doesn't matter.

[@philipstiller6386]

If you make another gilded/ornate/living chest breaker, put about 20 mining speed on it. When you run over a slab, you lose instamine if you have below 20 or 21 mining speed. We call it the "Y level bug"

[@EthosLab]

That's good to know. I was wondering why I was having so much more trouble with it happening recently.

[@MoneyMiner9]

Seeing Etho respond to feedback and tips like this further reinforces that they’re a cool guy. Obsession over… for now?

[@alexsoo501]

The exact number is 21.25 to counteract the bug

[@averagezing]

@@EthosLab It can also be fixed by clicking on another block (like a bit of stone nearby). It happens because the game thinks you're still falling, so you get the vanilla falling debuff.

[@vee24]

Yeaah, that's a good tip. It feels so good to get rid of that.

[@neptune79]

I'VE BEEN LOVING THESE HOUR LONG VIDEOS ETHO!!!!

[@derpysean1072]

Me too, they are great.

[@Tripxreal]

Same here.

[@ZNotFound]

I'm beginning to correlate Etho's hour long videos to his month long sickness.

[@liliananavarro8852]

Same

[@AwesomePowerCat]

ikr it's been so nice, I can either sit down and watch it all, or watch it throughout my day. I'm loving the longer stuff!!

[@miguelangelsb_]

I swear I JUST finished watching Iskall's videos of you guys with False. It's like an uninterrupted stream in here

[@Hylian_Ponyta]

I just did too!!!

[@plantcraftie4141]

same!

[@marniejane11]

Haha same!!

[@decimozs]

13:14 "Let's get out of here. We are- ooh, there are all this too" Greedy Etho is the best Etho!

[@Timmie1995]

1:02:20 Hearing Etho say "balance out the look" is just memories for me. He used to say it quite often, and at first I was confused because I heard "bounce out the look". And then it just stuck with me somewhere in my head. The little things in life :)

[@RadShiba]

After seeing so many OG creators retiring. I am grateful for etho still going strong! And an hour long video at that!

[@Nooticus]

yeah ): I hope Etho isnt burned out, like, he hasnt done many (or any?) classic creative project etho videos in quite a long time...

[@miguelangelsb_]

The ME system really gives me Sky Factory minicio nostalgia

[@arthaiser]

minicio minicio minicio!

[@StuffandThings_]

Fr. Also wasn't that in Crash Landing and some other modded series like FTB too? ME is such a classic mod.

Ain’t nothing better to survive a snowfall than with some Etho!

Couldn't agree more!!! Just abunch of rain where I am. Hope you're staying warm!❤

[@BraveSoulCSB]

Etho sounds soo happy playing this game, I watched it with a big smile on my face too :D

[@McA_1987]

It’s amazing how quickly etho mastered this game. I’d be lost with all those different items

[@Nooticus]

It's so complicated I CANNOT understand haha

[@davidsnow5811]

He's played modded for a long time, and a lot of stuff in VH is from mods he's used before, so he had a head start.

[@Vaders_Fist]

Love hearing the smile in Etho’s voice while he’s in a vault

[@bellyjellybean248]

20:50 "I'm at the point now where I'm gonna probably stop looting wooden chests because I don't have time to." 21:02 "....sometimes I grab 'em as I'm passing by" Classic loot goblin etho lol

[@GY-yv5cz]

The golden age of Etho content continues

[@spaceslushie6337]

Etho making long form content has to be my new favorite thing.

[@samwright6853]

off topic, but I want to say that you're the ONLY youtuber I've consistently been excited for for nearly 15 years now. your calm demeanor and the way you've never chased views or clout has left you singular in a world that more and more has focused on the destination rather than the journey (for those who understand) you're one of the few people left who does what they do publicly because they enjoy it rather than because it makes them money. I'm not going to say something reductive like "I love your work, keep at it' or 'great job on this video, you've out done yourself', instead I'll leave you with a simple, and likely unnecessary, plea to keep being yourself. My only hope is that you have the happiness in your life that you've brought to mine and 2.5 million others.

[@loszeusgaming2604]

Get well soon etho wanna see a storage made of treasure chests for iskall 😂😂

[@RoyalBack]

This episode is the definition of "So I did a little grinding off screen"

[@LilDietz6]

I kept seeing the other hermits come out with vault hunter episodes and I held out hope that we would get another Etho Episode!

[@stevena105]

VodSkall is basically Etho's second channel at this point.

[@stanleydodds9]

you know, some of them are hunters, but some of them are treasure hunters. Also did you know that they're redoing cake vaults?

[@Mag1cA]

my excitement is immensurable and my day is fixed

[@etcher6841]

Amen

[@Waffles17643]

[@daseagreenpotatoes4653]

theres something so comforting about an etho video. Like a nice warm hug or a cup of hot tea. I would literally watch you play anything so feel free to film any games, even non-minecraft if it motivated you to upload more! love ya work etho :D

[@giuntagabo]

How could you not do the "I went mining off camera" joke

[@hitrapperandartistdababy]

I love that Etho still to this day leaves a link to his Twitter and Twitch account despite never using them😂

[@ty00b]

I have absolutely no idea what is going on or anything about vault hunters, yet im utterly captivated. Only Etho can do this to me.

[@MultiMazdo]

So good to see another Vault Hunters video. I've been living off Isakalls videos (which are great btw) with you in it, to satisfy my need for Etho content lol. So glad to see you enjoying the heck out of it though! I loved both times you said the Scavs were easy, and failed both of them lol. Keep up the great work!

[@TurtleNocturnal]

Just finished watching the episode- it was so fun! Loot and Scoot has become a tried and true strategy :D Love your videos, Etho!

[@Galvantula1]

I hope these longer videos aren't an issue for you in terms of editing/scheduling etc. as I am loving these hour long vids

[@minecraft_link1295]

I love how etho shows us his armor and weapons when we all are already watching his stats on the vault hunters website.

[@DragonDoFogo]

Loved Iskall’s reaction 😂 Just utter disbelief. Honestly I hope Etho keeps playing even after the group’s objective ends 👏🏼

[@vissieroo5493]

😂😂😂 iskalls reaction to the third treasure chest was priceless! 🤣🤣🤣 loving how much you're loving VH and how you're beating iskall at his own game! Keep it up, and dont worry about videos, as long as you're enjoying it, and seeing as you keep bugging iskall in his streams, we still get to see you enjoying it!

Watching etho get corrupted by greed for an hour ❤️

[@FlourishPorridge]

STABILITY

[@KatieWillems]

Can't read Treasure Hunter without thinking Decked Out 😁

[@finnleyflint]

Love, love to see you having much much fun in the Vaults. Your pace was quick but still one could catch on what was going on and you explained things so as someone who hasn't played Vh could get a hunch what is going on.

[@ViniciusNegrao_]

Man, what a fun series. I think Etho is THE ONLY youtuber I've been watching religiously for more than 12 years

[@KaneOtonashi]

So amazing to see Etho having fun in VH. Hope this will get a dedicated series for like 20-30 eps. Nothing to crazy

[@nategames1688]

Hey, Etho! If you have a chance i'd suggest trying out the triple jump trinket. I used to use the wings - dash combo that you've been using until I gave that a try and it gives me so much more control over my movement with the benefit of not needing mana (dash).

[@nategames1688]

Also i'd suggest to try and get as many orante chests as possible because your sword is not near max since you can get a legendary modifier on attack damage. I've got one on my sword and I believe I have around 95 base attack damage purely on the sword.

[@LitaWannamaker]

Always happy for some more Etho!!

[@filmsharks]

Love the long videos Etho!!! Great to put on the background whilst doing other things :)))

[@katetyrrell2314]

Came here to say thank you. My husband James has been following you for years and I started watching a couple years ago. Your cheerful disposition and positivity have gotten us both through some rough times and we thoroughly enjoy all of your content. He has recently been trolled online and your videos were the perfect medicine for him. Please keep going 🩷 🙏🏽

[@whorlingwisteria]

I was absolutely dying of laughter with those last Iskall clips.

[@MQZON]

Omg new VH, yessss!! I was just saying yesterday it would be awesome to see another one from you. The Iskall vods have been amazingly fun to watch 😁

[@thexper9790]

That reaction from Iskall was amazing. Really glad to see you liking the game and getting this good at it!

[@iansparrow7633]

You should do a modded series of Vault Hunter after hermit vault hunter server is done. Maybe do a series with Iskall85.

[@elissacarroll1130]

So much fun to watch!! Thank you for uploading another one. It is amazing how much I get into watching you loot and then yelling at the screen when your time goes down. Every time you say you are getting into focus mode and then DO NOT I laugh so much. Thank you Etho :)

[@opeitsdana7451]

I have known since the first vault hunters episode I ever watched of Iskall that Etho would love it. I'm so glad to see him in his element. 😊 Plus I've been a fan of Iskall and Ethos friendship for years.

[@tiffanycarlyle4908]

Iskals reaction at the end is priceless!

[@dannyphantom4770]

Another fantastic video :) I very much enjoy watching this series. Shows us how you play PVE. A nice addition to all of your other building, and technical content.

Been watching all of iskall’s vods for extra etho content… etho and vault hunters is a perfect fit

[@Leothecat24]

Love to see you enjoying Vault Hunters so much!

[@doritoisback]

I’m glad you played this on your own. You did some unconventional things, and I know the VH can be very aggressive with following a meta. It’s nice to see something new, and I’m glad you got to experience it how you wanted rather than whatever the comments could’ve screamed at you. I hope you enjoyed it enough to bring a proper solo series, and I’m excited to see where this particular playthrough goes. Cheers!

Cant express how happy i am to see you back in action! Eternal thank you for all the hard work you put in on your videos!

Something that may help with the green doors is using the "Show Overlay" on the Jade mod (Default bind Numpad 1). Loses less time. It shows info on whatever you're directly looking at

this is so fun to watch just etho going full loot goblin

[@pregnantnun]

That ending was hilarious. I love your competitive dynamic with Iskall.

[@thomastreaty3647]

Wooo can’t wait for more videos from this series I love watching him build in his modded series

[@B8008Yt]

Pro tip for you: In your inventory, hover over the backpack you want to open and press the key you have bound to open backpack. That way you dont need them on your hotbar. Saves a lot of inventory managing time! Glad you're enjoying vault hunters as much as we are! also, i was a hammer hater just like you until around lvl 70 someone gave me a hammer. Life changing. Actually so much better than vein miner. One hammer lasts forever, literally have only had to repair it once and im almost to the next tier of tool.

[@Questerer]

Well wishes Etho. Get well soon!

[@MineCrypton]

Hi Etho, I just wanted to say: Thank you for doing all the videos, I love listening to you, it kinda reminds me of the old days

[@proboscideank.7069]

Glad you're feeling better and hope you're back to 100% soon, Etho!

[@quangucvu7700]

1 hour of Etho? What a treat! You seem like love playing vault a lot. Will there be a solo Vault Hunter series after this series finished?

[@Koelkastt]

I really hope so

[@WoobyMe]

I just think this pack is so so cool. Its a great mix of so many gameplay systems. As someone who hadn't seen the pack prior watching your series on it has been a joy, because while you have brought us a long on learning some of the systems, you also have put a lot of time in off camera to learn them yourself. So compared to your other modpack series, I as the viewer have felt more intrigue trying to put all the layers of gameplay together as I watch you just play, and I have quite enjoyed that! I hope another series of this is in the stars after this one wraps up soon.

[@liliananavarro8852]

Etho I would just like to say that you are one of my favorite KZbinrs and it’s really entertaining to watch your videos. I haven’t always watched your videos but when I discovered the life series is really when I found your channel so when I’m bored and have nothing to do I start watching your past videos. Keep going strong and good luck in the future with making videos, or even just in everyday life

[@davidhenry31]

NEVER BEEN MORE EXCITED! I love VH Etho!!!! I don’t care about the wait as long as you don’t quit it!

[@makemespin]

Its been 11 years since ive watched your videos, and just got back to playing some minecraft, really cool to see you still making videos!

[@ZackMuffinMan]

[@Fox0x0wolf]

Etho at the top of your hud you will see what your run items are, and WHERE you can obtain them from. Such as the little zombie/skeleton head to the left of the Purple Essence! :D

[@HelioSmith]

Loved Iskalls reaction to 3rd chest! I hadnt seen that yet

[@whatadamsever]

A minor tip for you - if you hover over a backpack in your inventory and press the "open backpack" key (so "b" by default) it will open it, so you don't have to keep switching them to your hotbar! :)

[@fatcatfish1908]

I love this series, it's a mix of everything etho is good at and enjoys... and it means long rants and episodes >:)

Awesome to finally see your strat for dungeons, I've been seeing you on iskall, but he hasn't revealed your strats, and I've been very curious since no one else has really put effort into dungeons specifically.
