[@skycherryyt]

Cub's obsession with adding new rooms to the pyramid every week is every spy's best friend

[@rfresa]

A little disappointed he didn't go up the ladder or look behind the little waterfall!

[@deltamico]

Cub has a pyramid again huh

[@saruwatarisa]

I hope Cub doesn't remove this spy compartment...? spy room? and adapt it as part of this pyramid's feature 😂

[@Marble_Tree]

I think he’s just happy to be back in his favorite shape haha

[@mathw5389]

Far in the future, Zedaph attempts to spy on the fourth season TCG final, looking for the still elusive perfect picture of Etho, three times TCG champion, undisputed ruler of all Hermitcraft. Breaking into the arena, he finds a warren of tunnel which lead him to a room deep underground filled only with pictures... of himself.

[@beagle_uah]

Perfect. 😂

[@Scp4521]

Oooooh! I love!

[@fhtraveler]

666 likes? That's an omen.

[@Evie0h]

Oooooh- sounds like something on the back of a book for the description far down the line of a book series

[@samspenguins8975]

You should get a Zedvancement just for that aerial goat delivery! That was very impressive.

[@adeadgirlXD]

I agree he should!

[@mathw5389]

It was brilliant! All that dangling practice paid off. It is a useful skill after all.

[@turtle-bot3049]

It was definitely impressive enough to warrant it's own zedvancement. I know the names already taken by an actual advancement, but whatever floats your goat would be such a good name for it.

[@angrydad678]

How about naming it floating the goat

[@LeopardMask12]

+

[@miguelangelsb_]

You know it's a fancy event when the paparazzi show up

[@CdogThePro]

If you can manage to spy on Mumbo you can run away, come back, and ask him if he can help with your diamond beacon.

[@rfresa]

Fun fact: Mumbo and Zedaph have worked together IRL. kzbin.info/www/bejne/f6uch59_q750oaM

[@CdogThePro]

@@rfresa I thought this would be from Season 8. I never knew about this.

[@hydra553]

​@@rfresawow I never know about this. And thanks for sharing

[@asuramaru8180]

On Beefs POV he doesn’t even actually see you haha. But I’m sure in the back of his mind he knew you were somewhere

[@ca-ke9493]

Omg that would b a great beef picture to add to the collection if so

[@aivilo9892]

Yeah, I was just looking between the footage, using XB's board and Etho's voice to pinpoint where to look, and Beef Legit just didnt see Zed at all. Which really just means he did a great stealth job.

[@Windfighter]

Zedaph staring at the ladder that leads to the main arena in the nether portal-room and going "there's no access to the arena from here!" was the best x3 Congrats on the beautiful photo of Etho!

[@mochavibez]

Hehe so good to see you use the TCG finale as a way to spy on hermits! (Beef turning around and looking directly at you was hilarious). Can't wait for more spying in the future 🕵🔭

[@Braiba]

Would you be able to spy on a round of Total Chaos if you hide up in the roof with a potion of fire resistance? Seems like a good way to spy multiple hermits at once while they'll be completely distracted.

[@EvesterBee]

This was a very enjoyable anxiety inducing episode! In the arena I noticed some paintings, maybe the paintings over signs trick could be used for some sneaky spy escapes!?

[@Techhunter_Talon]

3:00 Imagine a Hermit just seeing you gliding along with a goat on a lead. XD

[@GreyFireClover]

"Just normal Zed things."

[@EmperorIcePenguin]

Zedvancement Idea: Boss Party (have the enderdragon, wither and warden 1 one location with the creepy music disc playing)

[@leodekalb2380]

+

[@andrewwebb917]

Just.. go to doc's base and play it.

[@JampottBong]

Why watch the TCG final through the perspective of a finalist when you can watch it via a spying Zedaph?

[@racingintherains]

Haven’t finished but at 12:01 watching Zed look for spy holes knowing Cub has two rooms and a water secret entrance that are excellent spy spots is painful… especially when he walked past the ladder for the Pharaoh Entrance and said “no entry into the main arena” 😂 love you Zed, wonderful ep as always!

[@GreyFireClover]

lol yea I was also thinking of the secret water entrance

[@ralf7823]

Zed, i think it is time you start working on your Netherite Beacon. And i dont care if you bribe other hermits to grind it out for you. But Tango said you cant do it. And said he will sing and dance in his stream should you manage to actually do it. He is convinced he will be safe. Please make him sing a different tune ^_^

[@thedeltastrat]

we need to see Tango dance!

[@supermysterious66]

Imagine if Zed was able to get a full Netherite Beacon by... wait for it... trading cards from Decked Out for it? it would be super ironic when Tango has to sing and dance...

[@ldyvaporeon9944]

Jevin's been working on a netherite beacon all season and still isn't done, Zed would have put in a lot of hours

[@matthewparker9276]

He could just pull a little sneaky and go mining for netherite around jevins base.

[@Zarvain]

But what song and dance? As a man of the classics I would like to toss into the hat the Michigan J. Frog song and dance of the Michigan Rag. Just me? I still think it would be hilarious to see the dungeon keeper try and keep up with an old cartoon frog. XD

[@miniciominiciominicio]

17:27 The dramatic irony; oh, it's so delicious nom nom nom xD Poor Beef. When he found out on stream yesterday that he did indeed make a mistake that would have affected the outcome of the game his stagnant Minecraft face saying "what." was full of expression lolll

[@clairesendby8814]

The spying zedvancement is so funny 😂 We are living it! Loved the episode!

[@thegeneralnapolean]

Amazing Episode Zedaph. I fully enjoyed the taking advantage of the TCG Final, also it will be fun to see if we the audience can spot you in other hermits videos.

[@origulator]

I always forget that Minecraft has polar bears and panda bears but not regular brown/grizzly/whichever bears, which are a lot more common than the others irl

[@Moonscale_]

okay I'm not going to lie that was SO nerve wracking! but also really funny to watch you spy on basically all the hermits, lol, well done zedaph :] now I'm very curious if we can see you in the background in any of the other hermits videos

[@ultimatewager]

I'll never get over how amazing Zedaph makes the game just by playing differently.

[@geniusface2640]

Very funny that Zed was so scared to spy in Cub's TCG pyramid when that thing literally has tons of hidden compartments & rooms

[@ef1876]

As a photography student I would say the second picture of etho deserves a better rating. Sure, you can't totally see his face but artistically it's very interesting. There's some good framing going on and that the glass perfectly draws to eye to etho and simultaneously obscures him from vision creates an interesting juxtaposition. You could give it a fancy title and stick it in an art gallery and a whole bunch of critics would be falling over themselves at the symbolism and hidden meaning and cleverly subverted expectations

[@Isaacrl67]

Have you 'upsidedowned' any mobs by naming them Grumm yet? If not, you should while you others left to hang up.. just to make sure you cover both. Because you have a bed below all the hanging mobs, it's almost like a crib and mobile

[@shunnedtomcat]

Those spy skills are definitely getting better.

[@BlameItOnGreg]

The TCG final was such a brilliant opportunity for spying. Lots of Hermits making noise, and providing lots of name tags, so any noise you make or flash of your name tag doesn’t stand out, but also all of those Hermits being focused on single point and not looking all around, so they are less likely to see you - absolutely prime spying.

[@framezerogaming8727]

Just make sure to put something above the strider so that it doesn't take damage from the rain... Also, when Tango opens Decked Out, see if you can work with him for a route in and out that will let you spy on hermits in game without any interference with the game

[@GreyFireClover]

There is that glass art above his base iirc so they'll be fine I believe

[@framezerogaming8727]

That's right, I forgot about that

[@sicksid3534]

Awesome Episode! GG on two solid shots of Etho! For spying on more people, maybe you can hide behind a painting, and only have your spyglass look out, you'd have to also find the right type of painting where it might fit in :)

[@jasonolson7966]

That was the most MLG goat-hanging I've ever seen. To be fair, I have never seen another goat-hanging, but I imagine you'd perform pretty well in a goat-hanging competition!

[@drewswoods]

Forget Doc, you are the GOAT for that delivery

[@Togethicc468]

I have genuinely never heard Zed being that excited before

[@mishirish]

James Bond you are not But you have earned the title Of Fart in the Wind

[@grutarg2938]

JoeHills would approve of this haiku of your own devising.

[@Gibn89]

Anyone else keep getting suprised how close the builds actually are? I dunno but from most vids, I normally get the impression things are further apart, but then we get a slow flyby with improved render distance.

[@GreyFireClover]

Yea seeing I believe it's Jevin's castle as close to Zed's base as it is, really took me off guard. Like I knew Grian and Mumbo were right next to each other. Same with Soup Group. And I knew Tango was in close proximity to soup group as well. But everyone else always takes me off guard

[@GreyFireClover]

The only one farther away is Ren I think on his mooshroom Island. And maaaybe Etho? idk where Etho is though so

[@Ligands23]

That aerial goat delivery was LEGENDARY! Standing ovation from me!

[@socasmgames]

When asking who to watch, my oldest kid said Zedaph. His reason is that he's the funniest one. I agree. Any video is guaranteed to make you laugh.

[@savasyn]

I was kind of expecting you to put on an all black ninja outfit and either be up on the ceiling or where the TCG portal ladder leads right on top of the playing field. You could have gotten some great pix of the crowd from there.

[@ca-ke9493]

I'm so sad he didn't go up on the ladder

[@insidiator5461]

@@ca-ke9493depending on how much noise ladders make, that could have been risky.

[@hero120499]

Spying on Hermits during Decked Out runs would be hilarious!

[@nuclearvoe]

this episode was a rollercoaster , and that goat landing was breathtaking XD

[@ThePosionousViper]

This is my first Zed vid I've watched, great introduction Zed- We love dangling animals

[@nasiskahn]

Very successful spying! I thought you were going to try to get a few more Hermits while you had them there. On the other hand that could have been dangerous. At least you got Etho and that’s a win!

[@pradeepdahal9729]

You should've tried to spy on the spectators aswell during the TCG finale.

[@insidiator5461]

Most of them were wearing the competitors' heads, so I don't think it would have counted. Not sure what rules Zed set for himself though.

[@miniciominiciominicio]

Hmm, I think my comment got automodded for a reference to another site? idk. I didn't link anything. Just was saying that Cub found your hidey-hole on his stream yesterday; it's in the last 10 minutes of it if you wanted to watch it. He was shocked and amused at the whole thing. He had no idea you were there! Also, on Tango Tek2's last video with the Beacons title, Tango bets a song and dance that you'll never complete the Mineral Beacons Zedvancement. While I'm inclined to agree with him... I also would love for you to make him do that song and dance lol It's at 2:17:16. This was a really well edited episode with excellent pacing. I felt the anticipation and your nerves all the way up to and including the moment of spying. It's so funny you couldn't get pictures of other hermits because they were wearing Etho and xB heads hahaha such bad luck! Looking forward to more Zedvancements; your season 9 has been altogether excellent and you should be very proud of all of it.

[@aidanlanz3114]

That mid-flight sheep dangle was actually really impressive! 😮😮❤

[@GreyFireClover]

You mean the goat? As that's what he hung while still flying

[@ezrotherat]

Zedaph, you have a special room dedicated to your advancements, so how about you create a photo room with all the spying photos as costume paintings? Something like museum?

[@Conklestothemax]

Idea for spying: instead of trying to sneak up on a hermit to spy on them, make a point of interest like a minigame and just hide inside

[@Ben87918]

Zedaph has such a unique way of playing minecraft every season! I love it! By far the most underrated hermit.

[@Dandygirl_94]

I get the feeling that Zedaph and Lizzie would have been best friends if he had participated in the crossover event. They'd be an unstoppable force of chaos.

[@MelodicBones]

Please commit to the grind of the Netherite beacon! Tango has said on stream that he's so confident you won't, that he'll sing and dance to any song if you manage to do it!

[@Evie0h]

I have to say, the goat dangle stunt was, personally, the most impressive and epic thing I’ve seen recently. How is the entire comment section not speaking exclusively of that amazingness holy cow! I’m almost not joking though honestly 😂 I gasped so loud, you would expect that to not end so perfectly well in any way

[@CarJul666]

Impressive flying skills with the goat. I laughed out loud at the lava transportation.🤣 And to top it off, a very nervous spy mission. Thank you for a very entertaining and fun video!

[@2DdirtBlock]

quite an impressive photo! i am now going to watch the other hermits and see if i can spot zedaph out of the corner of their videos :D

[@SunHunter27]

In Mumbo's Hermitcraft S9E14 he runs into an allay trying to find slime, at about three and a half minutes in.

[@Idran]

It wasn't upside-down though I don't think

[@chocoloverforlife]

Beef seeing you and the cut back to 3hrs before was the perfect spy movie moment

[@AutisticGastrodon]

I love Zed's intros :3 Scratch that, I love Zedaph's content. I don't watch him often, but I always enjoy it

[@Scp4521]

11:29 Zedaph, after the tournament, you should tell cub about that room. He'd be so excited!

[@cornonjacob]

You should have a spying spot within decked out when that gets finished, can get lots of bonus points if you can snap action shots of people being chased by wardens, vexes, etc

[@FighteroftheNightman]

The zedvancements and especially this spying one is so awesome youve become one of my 3 hermits I will definitely be watching.i lobe how theyre still minecraft things its just doing something interesting it is giving me some ideas of things to do to help take up some space within the outer wall of my city Im making.

[@carterbrooks-wb7gy]

You should have a challenge called “three steps toward, one step back” where you have to kill the ender dragon, but every time to step 3 blocks, you go back 1. I got this from the alay incident. Great video as always Zed, keep up the good work. :)

[@parfaitmichi77]

That goat flight was so majestic, so masterfully done! Perfection!

[@lordzizo375]

You are a geniuse Zedaph that is the best intro I saw in a long time in Hermitcraft Catching a Goat then flying to the Destination and hitting you goal

[@Joblerone]

Getting a picture of mumbo from within his vault would be Perfect, especially if mumbo is on the outside and you're hiding on the inside

[@Mushmoo1575]

I love seeing new zed episodes the chaos is so great

[@amaryllis0]

Missed a golden opportunity to bust out the skylight and dandle inside on a leashed, silenced pig XD But seriously, always love your content, thanks for always keeping it fresh!!

[@PrisonerFlake]

It's great watching all POVs, I started with xB's video of the tournament, and I had zero clue that you were there! Then it was hinted at in beefs video and now finally i get to see this! really fun stuff :D

[@mtbrocket]

Great video. 😊 I think you should make some hide holes made of banners and paintings. Make them look like you are putting up billboards. I would also try putting lots of very bushy “gardens”. Another idea would be to utilize blocks that are not full blocks and have that one pixel wide gap.

[@MUI_Noam12]

"Do you have any children? i would feel terrible if you did" "Oh ok back to the butt"

[@qocket]

Always a good day when 5 hermits output an episode.

[@TheBoopidoop]

What if you became a private detective, being hired by the hermits to spy on the hermits? Maybe even solve some mysteries along the way?

[@Fierycascade]

What if you held a sort of Hide and Spy game with a bunch of other hermits? You could give a large perimeter in which you'll be hiding and trying to get pictures of the hermits while they try to hunt you down. You could even change your skin to blend in with grass or stone blocks. Anything but invis potions are fair game.

[@mc-snack3316]

Definitely one of the best hermitcraft episodes i've seen i'm subscribing

[@profwaldone]

Z2 spy plane, take a picture of a hermit flying far above them either moving with an elytra or by building a plane at build hight, taking the picture and taking the build down again before they notice.

[@farpopcorn1565]

You should do a achievement to go from the bottom of the world to the top as fast as possible in the game

[@widders1]

Ah, you could have put a bed in the spy room, been in there eating rotten flesh for lols, stand on one of the fireworks and died, "oh no I'm all the way on the other side of the server"

[@mikewilliams6025]

Absolutely epic long-distance dangler!

[@FighteroftheNightman]

That beef cut was an awesome setup man A+

[@Wendy3Dimensional]

Making that flying shot with lead at beginning was like some kind of mini Zedvancement. O.o

[@burridi]

Rain will hurt striders!!!! Put a little roof for them. Or maybe the fence will protect enough?? Idk youve been warned

[@joostfloot5279]

He's already protected the mobs by building the art of the trophy :)

[@BlahCraft1]

Good job Zed! I didn't notice you when watching the other perspectives, and didn't even realize you were there!

[@Rain_Skye]

You should place a button with a scary sign somewhere near grian's base and wait for him to find it. He will be very distracted for a while. Good way to get a picture maybe

[@Outdoors_and_friends]

The create mod is great but absolutely nothing beats a Zed hermit craft episode!!!

[@hawkspiral]

Man, the background music in these videos is always so well done. Always fits the tone perfectly

[@Matteo_the_Plague_Doctor]

I just thought of an interesting idea, you should make a shop that helps you spy on hermits. Something where they really have to interact with the shop so they're preoccupied, and maybe it has lots of windows or secret rooms for you to spy in. XD You should build it when no one else is on, so no one knows its yours. :P

[@psbpaladin]

Another great episode! Watching you sweat as you snuck into the arena was so funny. I've ordered some TCG cards and I'm really hoping I get a signed Zedaph card, it would make my day.

[@pandadragon200]

I love all your videos Zed. I'm so excited for when my Zed plush gets here! ♥

[@FastSickle]

Now THAT is some skilled flying! Some might even say it was the GOAT flight 😂😂😂😂

[@amiablereaper]

Always love how Zedaph always plays his own game

[@profsusansatsumas]

Zed, if allays are anything like bees they can sometimes bug out and fly up forever, in which case it's long gone :/ edit: learned this the hard way myself trying to make an open-air bee farm

[@kale991]

You missed half the secret passages Cub had made to the pyramid lol

[@jaminplays6724]

Hey Zedaph, I have an idea for one of your "Zedvancements" You should try and get 100,000 of a single Minecraft item You can change the number to something higher or lower if you think it would be better but I think this would be a very fun and interesting challenge

[@Protofall]

Decided to wait for Etho's video before watching yours. At the end I realise I never saw you, so I knew it was a success. Well done.

[@eloquentornot]

This episode is so cool! The pyramid arena really is a fun spy location!

[@kltbird182]

You should get a deepslate diamond ore skin (like the stone one you used to spy on Grian) and hide inside of Doc's redstone to spy on him

[@jonathanbates9928]

Poor zedaph left before he realized beef lined every attendant up with that corner so he could spy on them all.

[@nugenki]

13:30 gargoyle on the tower, that was made with porkchop power?

[@somemagellanic]

i've never seen such skillful goat dangling

[@flyingmonkey662]

You could try a one way glass trick where you put blank maps of one colour on an invisible item frame which is on glass blocks

[@YenSnipest]

Not gonna lie, the Goat thing at the start was "stop messing with my edh decks" levels of stressful at the end.

[@That_One_Gaming_Guy]

Haven't seen if the iSpy Zedvancement was successful or not, but I would have used the potion of invisibility for extra sneakiness

[@NetherBun]

Haha Zeds dream is funny :) (a very cute plushie just saying)

[@res9695]

That countdown to the TCG Final gave me some Majora's Mask vibes
