The "mystery builder" could have made an entire 2 episodes about building the basement and tree, but the fact that all those hours went into them _off camera_ makes me appreciate it so much more.

[@Auto_Hero]

Dude, its hilarious the amount of times the "mystery builder" does this. The whole mountain in s7 basically just went up.

The fact bdubs made the basement and tree off camera just for entertainment value is honestly so noteworthy, incredible episode as always

[@alexanfadel]

and the fact that his acting is worthy of believeable is incredible as well

[@thebetterderpp7105]

[@MuttonChops24]

At first i was thinking scar because hes a magic elf that lives in a tree. so it makes sense that he would do something like this. but its clearly bdubs from the comments. Also gives us a glimpse into the adventures he is going to build. I got massive Skyrim dungeon crawling vibes from this

Lol I was almost thinking Gemini Tay but then there was the red stone part…love you Gem, love ya Bdub’s

[@kevinbasile197]

@@MuttonChops24 id believe it was scar too but if there was a few more typos ."wimsy" seems like scar couldve written it

[@Awntry]

I agree. What gave it away for me was the book. It was written in exactly the same style as the parkour and replicating language is not something people usually pay attention to.

[@TheGiovani012]

Cmon guys let's be realistic here... There's no way Gem or Scar could have gotten the time to build something this big and elaborate while also doing the stuff they do in their own episodes. Also it's quite convenient that the builder was able to match perfectly with Bdubs's style... I think there's only one obvious answer here. IT WAS FREAKING ETHO I KNEW IT ETHO YOU DID IT AGAIN WHAT A MAD LAD THIS GUY OMG ETHOSLAB EVERYBODY

I read the caps in Bdubs' voice so the last bit seems like you had more to say but then Bdubs interrupted you to say it was Etho.

[@aidenpons9584]

"It is feared that the tree may grow again if exposed to sunlight" - I was expecting Bdubs to say "Thank goodness there's no sunlight here," then the top roof of the cavern just EXPLODES and light shines upon the sapling

[@Purrfect_Werecat]

I expected a hole in the roof to expose the seed to sunlight and then wherever that hole was would have something growing out of it over several episodes

[@phillipg1331]

Seriously, this might just be my favorite build from anyone ever. And this is coming from a fellow builder. Well done Bdubs!!!

[@nettoyee]

whattttt i was actually convinced ahahah

[@Puffrrfsh]

It was etho

[@GSBarlev]

I really thought it was Cleo. Whole catacombs thing seems like her vibe.

[@slidingarchitecture]

Did Bdubs just create an incredible spooky dungeon/basement/altar as an excuse to create an exquisite looking custom tree? Not only that but didn't take credit for any of it or get any timelapses out of it? This is why you are one of the best of all time. Felt like I was taken on a real journey. Thank you.

[@Nabium]

Bdubs is on fire. The builds, the humour, the lore. Top notch! And the obstacle course was genius, I saw Tango do it live, it was so well made.

[@saifmohammad1809]

At one point I really thought someone built something in the basement but when I saw the narrow bridge and damn it was textured. It was obvious that Bdubs built the entire thing and it's part of story line. Damn this season is going to be something on another level. Also The Tree of Wimsy, I never imagined something like that is possible, such block selection, but again it's Bdubs we are talking about, he can build anything and it's going to be amazing. You are amazing Bdubs ❤️

[@Lazarothe]

the fact this maaan... build a whole giant room under his tower just to, reveal his new tree/clue place, is just crazy!!! Truely amazing 😁👍❤️ edit: thanks for the likes

[@julder_]

Bdubs, I gotta say. Watching you carefully go deeper and deeper into that basement had me holding my breath as if I was there with you! I loved the concept of cathedral walls underground, can't believe where are this lore will lead. Looking forward to the next one!

[@dominabox]

Bdubs: I'm not gonna show all of these hiding spots Also bdubs: shows basically all of the hiding spots (and also doesn't use the invisible item frames 😭)

[@GSBarlev]

I was confused why he was using item frames at all--you can place player heads without them losing their tag data (though I think you have to be careful about how you break them?). But from the scene at the end I guess they're carved pumpkins (or some other item) and not heads

Well it took 2 months but the monolith has itself summoned Etho who has claimed it as his first base :)

[@tatekane]

I love the tree! If my eyes aren't deceiving me... you put some flowers on the leaves, yes? Really nice touch! The carved ceiling of the basement, the contrast of the yellow light and red wool was beautiful. The delivery of "This is the stupidest thing" to Zed was so funny to me, as did the worn trophy lol
