Vault Hunters HermitCraft: NINJA CLASS WITH ETHO - Behind the scenes

[@headlightfluid]

It's so cool to see how much Etho is getting into the modpack. I always knew he would, it's the perfect kind of game for him. He's a CTM veteran, a modded MC guru, and he's always talked about how much he loves Roguelike games. I'm glad he's taking a "play for fun" approach, too. Being able to just play and enjoy it without having to worry about content creation has got to feel so liberating. His content with Iskall across all the HermitCraft-adjacent stuff is some of my favorite. I would love to see Etho join the VHSMP next season, although I know that's asking a lot.

[@TheTypoMatser]

Id honestly rather see him play vault hunters than hermitcraft

[@pendelluft]

@@TheTypoMatser Talk about unpopular opinion but… kinda same, tbh. Still. Why not both?

[@grunklestanlee2774]

​@@pendelluftman only has so much time in the day with how busy he is I would rather get good quality episodes in 1 series than 2 mid quality videos of different series its that or we get an episode from each like once every month or an episode of 1 once a weekish

[@phtevenstevin4625]

@@TheTypoMatser Agreed.

[@coltewheeler9090]

What is CTM?

[@BlahCraft1]

Turns out when Decked Out is closed, Etho has enough time to finish his base!

[@asteria4279]

Iskall please keep showing Etho's base progress - we don't get to see it otherwise! 😂

[@SailorSq11863]

Etho is honestly so great to watch, and the iskall etho combo is even better

[@filbertovandette]

Is there anything more relaxing....even when Etho is struggling to complete a scav....than Etho and Iskall playing modded together? It's always a vibe....

[@Gabriel_August25]

Etho is like "Oh iskall, if I'm to high level you won't be able to carry me anymore on those scavs." Iskall, you need to reassure him that you can carry him even as lower level.

[@otter1428]

the irony of etho being dressed as kakashi and describing the ideal ninja as 'dressed in black' when the main character of the show he's from wears bright orange at all times

[@CuriousMothling]

40 mins in and I was just thinking "man. I wonder if Iskall is gonna let etho know they are changing cake vaults"

[@colebot]

Since the timer doesn't start until players leave the portal room anyways, any player who enters the vault before the timer starts should be able to contribute their extra time to the vault timer

[@stefansauvageonwhat-a-twis1369]

Ooh I love sneaky ninja Etho in decked out, nice to see the teaching pass along both ways

[@MarieAxelsson]

I'd still want to see a "Chaos Cake Vault", with Etho and Iskall. Even if it's not a thing yet, I just love the energy you both bring.

[@mrtoast244]

I like how Etho's new base is sort of Tiki themed, it's a similar vibe to Iskall's Pacific base

[@razaberries]

The idea of ninjas wearing all black actually comes from how they were depicted in plays. In plays the people who moved the props and such were always dressed in all black and for the most part ignored so to make it seem like the ninjas assassination came from no where the ninja would wear the same costume. Ninja in real life were for the most part dressed as common citizens.

[@S1ipperyJim]

@19:08 "to be fair these are two ranged mobs" iskall referring to 2 melee skellies he was cheesing 😂

[@cjhaedaten8711]

Etho is really loving this Modpack, so good to see that

[@Wiroe]

Unexpected but expected

[@buddytrueblood]

Fun fact about ninjas. They wore plain clothes when on missions whereas a pure black outfit would stand out. When sneaking around they typically wore very dark grays, blues, or sometimes greens. Ninjas, we're also employed by a Dymio to gain political power and eliminate an opponent. (I would write more if I had more time and space in the comment)

[@sohlasattelite]

You're such a great entertainer. The vault was such a thrill ride, especially within the additional minutes. Thank you for tricking Etho to provide more content in his leisure time :D

[@thechartech]

Getting my etho fix through other hermits on vault hunters is the best cause I love listening to both of you haha 💜

[@TheCrabPpl]

man when iskall gave his wishbones away, i was stressing so hard

[@Shadeslayer1405]

Man these are the best kind of vaults. Literally was on the edge of my seat watching it and I enjoy watching you (Iskall) and Etho squirm to complete vaults

[@pitchoun]

Love Etho... Love Iskall.... Both of them together is such a treat! Love this combo

[@mohamadmohyeddiene7602]

He couldn't take a break🤣

[@finlay460]

Would absolutely love to see Etho and Iskall do a duo modded series together! Also, love these vodskall uploads, they make my day!

[@mitochondriaisthepowerhous6258]

this is one of the greediest tandem in the series! love the videos!!

[@paddym99lp]

That conversation at the start was so helpful for me ahaha, I just started playing Vault Hunters and have been eating burgers to save room in my chests. I've levelled up WAY too fast (but still having an absolute ball, I swear time works differently when playing Vault Hunters).

[@Bob_Smith19]

Chests? You’re already doing it wrong. Unlock storage mods right after a vault compass.

[@paddym99lp]

@@Bob_Smith19 It's even worse... Drawers was my first unlock I just can't be assed setting it up. I'm running a very organised chest monster though....

[@shalakabooyaka1480]

Iskall, on break, still giving us fun content lol. We appreciate it.

[@joshuabusch2692]

Watching two of my favorite content creators running a vault and talking about the games I grew up on was awesome. Thanks for the great vid, iskall

[@miniciominiciominicio]

Etho: *cleans up his base* I had time to kill... But guess we're not getting any Season 9 wrap-up finale lol or Phase 9 DO episode. I'm okay with that. Bring on season 10, baby! From both Etho & Iskall fresh start

[@Chase19898]

I don't know about that, I think he's still a bit behind on editing. I think he will definitely post all the DO2 runs.

[@Daniel-rd6st]

And now he did 🙂@@Chase19898

[@AtticHaunt321]

Another great video! Every video you do with Etho just makes me want the two of you to be base buddies in Hermitcraft X.

[@Werewolf914]

That'd be awesome it was fun in Season 8 when they based together

[@pendelluft]

Season 8 was so promising!! But we did get plenty of Etho spending all of Iskall’s diamonds. I loved their back and forth signs xD But wished we had more content with the two of them online at the same time. I am absolutely for them basing together again.

[@GrimmeWulve]

First off just saying, I love the content. I was listening with it in the background, and tabbed to it for a second to see him putting unidentified relic Fragment in his backpack along with the 'vault junk' at 16:23. For a second I thought it was a 'void' filtered pack.

[@bensmith9984]

I’d love to have a little Iskall running around with me while doing scavenger vaults. I’m always missing the last hard to get item.

[@ChadWalber]

These kinds of videos are absolutely delightful! Honestly the best videos are when you are interacting with your friends. I love your building, but you have such great discussions with your friends that I almost want more of this "Video Game Podcast" format. You, Mumbo, Grian, Etho, and Stress are all such delightful folks, and I love hearing everyone's different stories and perspectives. Happy New Year Iskall!

[@ellethecryptid]

Love seeing the duo of Etho and Iskall! Continue to enjoy your break!

[@laurenwatt3124]

This is what happens when you play with Iskall. Better than any scripted entertainment.

[@mrfel4851]

love seeing etho using the same stuff in chat that i used before i got a compass

[@JTSCORPIO30]

Absolutely loving this series it is absolutely brilliant

[@matthewbecker5993]

me opening yt: man i know iskalls on break but i hope he posted lol. Iskall: posted me: 0: (thanks for doing this during your break, i appreciate what you do sm and i will always look forward to your vids)

[@vaaarna]

banger content, hope everyone is having nice end of the year and iskall is enjoying the break

[@lumberman7843]

30 seconds into the video and I'm laughing already. Love these two together

[@Cargohold]

Hey Iskall, I hope you are having a great holiday so far. Earlier this year I purchased a new gaming laptop with the following specs: Win11 AMD Ryzen 9 7940HS w/Radeon 780M Graphics (integrated) NVidia GeForce RTX 4070 GPU (8GB) 16 GB SO-DDR5 Ram. Basically, this computer should be more than capable of running Vault Hunters. Bare in mind, I had to purchase a laptop because I need to be portable. However, whenever I am about to enter a vault or enter other portals such as a non-rendered nether dimension, the game freezes completely with CPU peaking to about 100% (with OpenJDK platform using about 97% of it). I have set both minecraft and OpenJDK to use my dedicated GPU over my integrated. Yet, I keep having spikes which unfortunately crashes the game. Note that I have lowered the rendering seetings (distance) to a minimum. Do you have any hints on what may or may not cause my spikes, and what I should do to prevent them from occuring? Because I really want to play your pack! The thing I have not tried yet is setting the mipmap level to 0, but would that fix my problem- or do I need more RAM? Best regards Cargo

[@jhonshary3408]

Is in the official vault hunters discord the community and devs will help you with all problems you may have

[@skikstra]

You should set your mipmap to 0 either way, but there is abbig chance that will fix your problem

[@jophmac]

Make sure the Vault Hunter's Minecraft instance has 8GB of ram allocated.

[@bechne]

I found Iskall through Etho’s videos on their expert modded series. I love that VH has brought them back together.

[@pendelluft]

How is this possible but every single new BTS is better than the previous. This scav was absolutely a thriller. WOW. Can't believe Etho gave up! But Iskall knows we believers know he's the ultimate believer

[@Nitro-MC]

this is what i like to see whenever i open KZbin

[@vogelvrouw]

I love the clutch iskall scav runs, theyre so insane and tense

[@speechiespeech]

Etho’s slime imitation is hilarious 😂😂😂

[@loszeusgaming2604]

Etho and iskall greedy duo love to watch you two together 🧡

[@milotraballano6314]

What will come first? Iskall moving his teleporter closer to his house or episode 100

[@miniciominiciominicio]

Play hard but don't work hard, Iskall ;) Thanks for the content!!

[@Robertstevens11567]

Iskall Etho combo for the win

[@finnkelly2141]

15:33, I don’t bring blocks either. Etho is not alone.

[@Ben0rama_]

40:39 you’re the worst 😂

[@alabasterflynn]

I was just thinking about you! Wasn't hoping for video during your break, but happy to watch nonetheless !

[@dragonmasteremerys8148]

I think people panic more when they see Doni Bobes approaching them.

[@garretoconnor9877]

These videos have gotten me addicted to running vaults myself

[@forelin1]

I get what you are saying about wanting to vault, I have been away for 2 weeks and have been craving the vaulting lol

[@Waffles17643]

I didn’t think I was gonna make it so thanks for getting this out still

[@joegote]

OMG that was so clutch, it kept going for so long.

[@Mag1cA]

not to be an Etho fan boy on a Iskall vid but I really want some episodes of some format from Etho on vault hunters

[@charlesfunnell3101]

“I’m going to fade the screen now…” Noooooooo

[@happyshrieker]

Thanks for the video and it is always enjoyable listening to the conversations you have with Etho. I am guessing if you didn’t keep talking to Etho, he would probably go quiet. Plus the game play is fun to watch too.

[@ishbagat663]

I don't know about relics, but hourglass now works if u don't go in first apparently

[@syamnaz]

yesterday i was thinking to myself "when will iskall get bored and play more VH". then came a new video today. thank you my good sir. please be bored more so i can watch more vault hunter videos from you 😂

[@headlightfluid]

He's on a holiday "break" right now until early January, so this kind of content will be all that we're going to get for another few weeks. I don't mind though, this is my favorite kind of content!

[@syamnaz]

@@headlightfluid yup. but he did say he'll play some VH if he gets bored. lets just wait for him to get bored so we can watch more awesome content from iskall-man. also i agree with you. the uncut, funny, chaotic vods are really enjoyable.

[@SailorSq11863]

I’ve been loving these videos

[@SP4CEBAR]

Iskall couldn't resist, he had to play vault hunters Or he's back from his holidays

[@colebot]

My stress levels at the end of this vault 📈📈📈

[@epicthief]

40:40 always an adorable troll

[@MusicialInsomnia]

*checks calendar* huh, not January yet. Niiiice 😄

[@Kyrox2]

Oof that change to trap disarm is going to ruin a lot of divine vaults. I'm surprised iskall is going through with it. It seemed like the only balance suggestion the community was heavily against.

[@mrtoast244]

Iskall saying "I won't leave you alone" has a similar energy to Mickey Mouse saying "I'm obsessed with you"

[@Lacorin1337]

That cut was awesome!! I laught soo hard!!

[@rainbowkaz215]

The definition of a ninja, apparently: Arnold Schwarzenegger in a mirror dress.

[@Snot390]

PLEASE put mirror dress Arnold’s in the game as a vault mob, or as a transmog!!!

[@alexs2161]

Iskall gave us a Christmas gift :))

[@dox5634]

I don't know if this is a good idea, But maybe a good way to earn or make chaos catalysts in a future update would be to infuse a catalyst with a chaos alter (similar to the vault rock alter) that requires a high amount of vault drops. You could balance it so most players still obtain the catalysts at a the same rate through drops and crafting, but the more chaos oriented players could run a chaos vault 1/5 of the time.

[@chulluby]

I knew u would post a video on break iskall lol I love watching your videos so much 😭 Have an amazing and restful break, and happy holidays!!!

[@Zach010ROBLOX]

I really almost thought they were gonna cut it xD.

[@Halinn]

What an absolutely clutch vault

[@monatae9725]

I love watching scavs as much as I hate running them. Too stressful for me, but AMAZING content! 😅

[@NodnalFilms]

didn’t know if we were going to get any videos over the holidays!

[@cookies1488]

Honestly when the screen went black near the end I wen "NOOOOOOO"

[@vphxn]

etho teaches us how to be ninjas

[@goostav8235]

This is exciting, but not playing with irl friend is such a mistake lol

[@devonmansfield8487]

I needed this ❤

[@jetfighter5385]

Iskall would you ever do a video about how you setup your inventory and keybinds for vault hunters

[@Bob_Smith19]

I really don’t like any of the changes that were discussed. And I agree w/ those on Reddit that the game is RNG hell. Most of us don’t play professionally and don’t want to grind away for little progress. You’re still completely reliant on RNG and it can put you in a bad place easily. It would be nice if there was a mode where you could build everything and not rely on RNG. Make the costs high. But it would be nice to be able to tailor your gear exactly how you want it. It would not take away from the “game” for most people.

[@Game_Blox9999]

The focuses are aptly named. They are fundamental to the progression of the game.

[@xanto6868]

Avarage male conversation when we are with our buddy😂

[@Tom90126]

Before the holidays did he say a vault hunters update would be coming soon? I'm excited!

[@headlightfluid]

I want to say that the date January 4th was mentioned at some point, but I may be misremembering. It wasn't too far off, I know that much.

[@TussockyBongo57]

And cake vaults will be changed

[@xenowarrior_gd6912]

So today I learned, me getting 8 spider webbing spools was NOT affected by item rarity, especially since I was struggling to get ripped pages. Noted

[@marcusswingle8627]

Scav vaults FTW!!

[@Birdthefeatheredone]

From what I have heard, dark blue was the more proper ninja color. Blended in better than pure black. Also, about frame rate. A lot of games use frame rate to count things, forcing a game to run at a higher frame rate can throw off things like movement. Notably, Dark Souls 1, jump distance is further on fewer frames due to the distance traveled being dependent on how many frames pass.
