The grandmother raven statue got my eyes sweating. She was a legend and I'm honored to have spent my childhood hearing her voice. I hope she knew the effect her voice had on all of us fans. It's like a warm blanket.
the dead friends one hit hard. when i was a kid i played the game a ton with my cousin, he was the one who got me into it. he tragically passed away very young in 2020. always makes me sad to see that minion in place of his character in my friends list. i always wished KI would keep the character models in the friends list no matter how long its been since they logged on but i'm sure theres a reason for it
i’m so sorry to hear that :( it’s nice you’ll always have amazing memories of playing with him though, that’ll last forever. And agreed, i wish they kept the models too.
It’s great that all the Make-A-Wish players were added in meaningful ways that give good rewards Daniel gives cool wands Brandon gives great treasure cards Allen gives the fourth potion Blaze introduced team up and sells the badge rewards for it Also, we do kill Malistaire at the end of Dragonspyre.
dude, you've seriously outdone yourself. two MORE hours of content on w101 history, all of which is researched thoroughly, presented interestingly, and topped off with extremely clean editing. it's a crime that you only have 6k subs. i really hope this video catches the algorithm and blows up like part 1. it deserves it
OMG! It's so crazy to see Blaze here! You should have seen the Twitter community back during those times! Fun fact: Blaze got unjustly muted for 10 YEARS when a hacker took over his account! He would only talk through Twitter DMs when he played LOL
Storm beetle owner here. Played this game since 2008, and i’ll always have a deep love for this game. These iceberg videos are so amazing, and i’m so thankful for them ❤
Also there are a lot of parts that are lowkey dark, when you beat Khrokotep you straight up kill him because you later meet his ghost who assists you in the next part of Krotopia but what's more disturbing is after killing him you get a housing item drop to mount his taxiderm head on your wall..
Hey all! After several long months of researching, recording and editing... it's finally here! I cover 60 new topics in this Iceberg Part 2 video, and trust me - it goes DEEP 🔥 This is my greatest video EVER. I am SO proud of how it turned out! The editing. 👏 The audio quality. 👏 The pacing - especially in the bottom tiers! 👏 I always try to outdo myself with every upload. I've been putting increasing amounts of effort into each new video. I can't imagine how I'm going to top this ! 😅 Please share this video with your friends + let me know what you think in the comments! I read them all! And as always, thank you so much for all your support! You all keep me motivated to make the best content I can! 😎 ❤
Please do part 2 with no part 1. I'm not wasting 2 hours rewatching your last video too. Don't get me wrong I enjoyed and shared you last video LOTS. Please separate!!
i don’t think you understand 🙂 this video covers all new topics. it doesn’t cover part 1 topics. it’s it’s own video! i think you’re confused because the iceberg shows old topics in red, but of course i don’t repeat covering them!
Funny thing about Hobgobbler is that when it was accidentally put in the crown shop a few months ago... for GOLD... a bunch of people bought one or hundreds 💀 Definitely not a rare mount anymore unfortunately. And no, the mounts were NOT removed.
In-game wedding, parties and other RP is among some of my dearing childhood memories. Those were extremely fun. The trend died down in about 2013-14. People started growing up and got bored of it

On squatting, you can see other players doing it. Many many years ago I used to ask teammates how they do it and they didn't even know they were squatting.
1:49:00 And theres also that time the wizard actually just kills the boss Acampi Reedfist and prys the badge of leadership from his "cold dead hands" in the dungeon Deepest Mine in Azteca
Hahaha I completely forgot about that. Wow that is super dark. I do like when the storywriters delve into darker subject matter though. it makes the game more interesting
@@Gladrocker AND the death boss in Tierra de Brea, Ezhua Bad Taste, threatens to wash his mouth with our blood. I LOVE the dialogue in Khrysalis and Azteca so much!
@@Gladrocker For the record, Acampi Reedfist was already undead. The Wizard didn't kill him - they actually referenced that in the quest. He tells the Wizard "You'll have to pry it from my cold, dead hands... oh, wait." Edit: It's worth noting that the Wizard has canonically killed people in the past. Malisstaire specifically comes to mind. Before that, there's Krokhotep.
I have a character that’s 15 years old and has a lot of the of OG items that are unobtainable now, I used to play with my dad I’ve been thinking about getting on to play with him he still plays it by himself and said it reminds him of when I’d play with him as a kid
Found my way back to W101 recently and found your video by coincidence. Super crazy to see Allan get mentioned in this, he was my brother and we had a great time visiting KI all those years ago.
Wow! I am so glad you happened to come across my video. Nice to meet you, and welcome back to W101 :) I loved learning all about Allan’s experiences with Wizard101 while making this video. He was an amazing person, and is missed by all. 🙏
I come across your brothers character in khrysalis last night and started reading up about his experience, I was very touched by your brothers story. It warms my heart to see his memory immortalised in the game.
It's been so long since I logged onto my original account for this game, after Wizard101 went on Steam I primarily began playing over there again when i picked it up again. I'm Twenty Two now, however when I first started playing i was maybe like Eight or Nine, not too sure on the age. But I DO still have the Frontier Dragon Mount and the Auric Dragon Statue on my old account, not only this but I still have the Selena Gomez Statue and Portrait from when there was that promotional stunt back in the day, oh man, such good times.
This video is a gem for W101 community. I retired long ago from game (like 4/5 years ago) I don't want come back because I fell the game is become really pay to win(especially the pvp part with the spellement thing which I have enjoy the most while I played back on the days),but I still enjoy watch some content from yt about this game and I have aquired ton of informations and things that I don't even know before from this game. So ty for the work to find all of this, you for sure deserve something by the game for the video!!!
Aww thanks so much for the kind words! Means a lot! I totally understand leaving the game because of its increasing pay to win nature. It’s too bad the game’s headed in that direction. But thanks so much again - and KI actually did give me a little something for my content creation. They made my in-game name green instead of the regular blue, so it stands out. It was a nice gesture from them! :)
This was some serious dedication to have found all this crazy stuff looking through all the update notes and everything, especially when they are so hard to look through efficiently. Well done mate!
2:32 holy shit i havent played w101 for 2 years but wanted something to watch in the background while i was doing work from home and seeing my video for one in a million from a long time ago was a total shock to me. Great video!
Oh hey it’s you! 😄 That’s awesome you stumbled across my vid. i’m so glad you enjoyed it, and that was certainly some great one in a million footage haha!
I've never played the game, watched any other youtuber talk about it, or read anything or knew anyone that played this game more then 2 hours. But damn, you make this interesting and I would watch many more of these ice burg videos, you just make it intriguing. I hope you get more traction it's all genuinely interesting
I played a long time ago as a young kid but haven't played in probably at least 8 years. But I've watched the previous iceberg video many times and now this one will go into my rotation lol. I love long videos that go super in depth on stuff.
No wayy! That was such a fun time, hanging with you all in the commons haha. You’ll definitely see me there more often :) Thanks so much for the kind words! Glad you enjoy the video! 😄
I don't remember needing to open nine total obsidian chests, but I do remember needing to do the labyrinth one. Considering how recently we did the Labyrinth at this point in the game, that was insulting. And at the time I saw it as likely an oversight. Like they must have forgotten dungeons reset or something. Boy is it disheartening to find out that was INTENTIONAL.
This video is just as fantastic as the first iceberg video. Thank you so much for dedicating so much time and effort towards this, it really gave me a sense of nostalgia and also some new information that I didn't know! Looking forward to part 3 :)
Oooh I’ve actually been meaning to make another slow + reverb wiz music compilation for a while now. That’s on my to-do list! Never like making 100% promises though because sometimes other priorities come up 😭 but yeah most likely at some point i will! And thanks for the kind words - much appreciated!!
I watched part 1 when it first came out, I just got this video on my recommended. I enjoyed watching this video just as much as the first . I hope you make a part 3. I’ve been playing the game for over 10 years now and I’m fascinated about the stuff you covered in the video from before my time and even afterwards that I wasn’t aware of. My dad and older brother played the game the year it came out, so I definitely log on to their account to see if they have any rare old stuff. Keep up the good work, I’ll look forward to a part 3 video if it ever comes.
Really appreciate the kind words! I’m so glad you enjoyed the these videos 😄 I’d love to make a part 3 in the future. Great to know you’re interested in watching it!!
1:50:49 The whole of Khrysalis is absolutely metal as fuck. It's worth noting too that in part 1 there's a companion that follows you around for the first half, Dyvim Whitehart, who later gets attacked and thrown out of a window by one of the queen bee's minions in arguably one of the most violent and unexpected cutscenes I've seen in this game, followed by a quest involving you fending off his dying body on the ground from an onslaught of more wasps. A surprisingly brutal and tense sequence of events in a game that for the most part presents itself as a light-hearted kids wizard adventure game but I'm honestly all for it. I instantly fell in love with the general atmosphere of Khrysalis primarily for how different it felt from the rest of the 2nd arc in terms of its tone and stakes, and even artistically it remains as my favorite world in the game. Outside of that I was also surprised to see that you didn't mention in either video of multiple quest names throughout the game ALSO being references to song names. The most notable imo being the Azteca quests "The Hand That Feeds," "With Teeth," and "Underneath It All," two of them being references to the band Nine Inch Nails' 2005 album With Teeth, and the third being a reference to a song off of their 1999 album The Fragile. Would have been a fun little addition to see but, either way, this was a fantastic video and somewhat of a trip down memory lane for me too as someone who has been playing this game on and off since 2010/2011. I'm elated to see wiz's audience for the most part grow up with the game itself, resulting in us getting quality wiz content like this in 2024.
Thank you for the very insightful comment! 🙂 I agree - I wish KI would make more worlds have a darker theme like Khrysalis. And given how much the playerbase has grown up, I don’t think it would be an issue at all. Also interesting point about all the song related quest titles! Awesome stuff. I appreciate your kind words. Glad you’re enjoying my videos. Hope to see you around my comment section again!
21:00 Another cool easter egg with Brandon is if you summon him in the dragon fight in the Nightmare Dungeon and you defeat the boss, you will get the badge "Phoned a Friend".
@@Gladrocker I'm happy KI still kept up with the lore of Brandon's quest in Wallaru with that badge. After all in the Brandon quest he does mention the dragon's name.
I love seeing wiz content around! Especially these icebergs since there’s soooo much to the game but personally it’s been hard finding UA-cam videos about its lore. Thank you!! Absolutely love these. Brings back so many memories of my childhood seeing these things I remember again or have missed being taken out, etc.
I know I’m 3 weeks late to this video, but just finished it today. Bro this is the type of content I love to see on UA-cam. People just putting in all their effort and truly making the videos they want to make. Keep it up
Freakin LOVE your iceberg vids dude!! Me and my bro just watched them back to back and it kept us very entertained. Turns out, we actually have access to that lost celestia prequest dungeon on two of our wizards and we’re gonna do a video showing it off!! Definitely gonna mention you for how we learnt about it lol. HOPEFULLY WE CAN SEE THE ELDRITCH TOWER SOMEDAY AGAIN!!
When the European servers were still run by Gameforge, you could use a VPN to set your location to Turkey and buy the most expensive crown package for about 5 dollars. Many players bought a lot of crowns this way before the server takeover by Ki, and thus started on the Ki servers with 500k-1.5m crowns. I am one of those players and still have over 500k crowns today.
i actually have the frontier dragon mount!! i was super little when i first started playing wiz lol such nice blast to the past from these videos, thank you so much for the hard work to compile these!! we all appreciate it so much, takes us back to a better time 😃
What a unique and amazing video, once more!!! Full of subjects of interest, things that made us laugh, wonder, get suspicious or even get mad at certain times... Such an oasis of pure love for the game away from the usual drama that's been bugging the game recently. Thank you!!!
Just ordered a Storm hoodie from the new merch store AND you posted another iceberg? Excellent week for W101 :) (Also it’s nice to see how active in your comments you are. You’re doing great!)
This and your previous iceberg has got be the most detailed, most well put together and thought out Wizard101 iceberg I ever seen, man. It'd be nice to see you do Wizard101 lore content too, that'd be pretty sweet! Keep up the great work, Gladrocker!
Interestingly enough, there’s a quest in Azteca where you literally kill one of the bosses. It’s called “Cold Dead Hands”. The dialogue after winning the basically says you’ll have to pry a badge from the enemy’s dead hands, and there lies a dinosaur corpse. Thought it was an interesting observation after watching the Khrysalis “Kill” badge section.
Hahaha can’t imagine being in the community during all of that drama. That must’ve been entertaining to watch in realtime 😂 and thank you so much 🙌 Means a lot!
this vid is one of the best wiz vids i've ever seen made so much fun facts and quirks of our beloved wizard101 I hope to see you on that wiz grind soon keep it up! :D
I imagine the ghost sigils were some king of rudimentary early solution to solo instances. The fact that two people get split up makes me feel more like that's the case.
Hi! I'm a friend of AnonW101DiskBuyer and I showed this to them. Of course, they since made the disk public like you saw in the Reddit post. They really appreciated seeing it. Also, on the thought of Pokémon, interestingly, the chat filter permits people to mention the names of 3 Pokémon, Abra, Kadabra, and Alakazam. I could buy Alakazam being a coincidence, since, well, this IS a game about magic and people could say something like that when they use a spell or something. Abra and Kadabra though, I just don't find it that likely to be a coincidence. I haven't tried other Pokémon names (and there's literally over 1000 now, I don't have the time or resources to try every single name, that's just something I did for fun). Also also, another thing I know I mentioned on Reddit, but if you do a part 3, I'd love to see how you cover the friendly players that serve as teleport pads, like Tabitha Winterheart in the Bazaar, Samantha in the Pet Pavilion, Kane Rainbowbane in the Drains (near the Abandoned House instance), Brittany Soulmender near the potion vendor, and so on.
Hey there! Thanks for showing AnonW101DiskBuyer 😄 Im glad both of you enjoyed and appreciated the vid! And yes - i love the friendly player teleport pad topic. I’ll be sure to cover that. Also great info about pokemon! If you think of anything else please let me know! Feel free to twitter dm or discord message as well!
Abra and Kadabra are named after the Abracadabra spell magicians used in their acts. Or maybe it was a single magician that popularized the phrase, I'm not sure. That would explain their specific names being included in the white list.
Your videos have made me want to get back into W101. An absolute nostalgia experience. I think I might do that whenever I get off ESO. Cant wait for part 3! Ill definitely stay tuned for it!
@@Gladrocker Absolutely! W101 is a fun experience that can be described as unique and while I always made jokes and memes about it, I never thought it was a bad game.
This is awesome! I’ve been playing Wizard101 for a while but I didn’t know most of this stuff. It’s all super interesting. I love learning new things about the game. Thank you for sharing!! I enjoyed watching this video!
57:12 yea this wasn't a rumor back in those days i had a level 12 myth wizard with one of those level 45 hats and even when they did put it as 45 my character still had it equipped for awhile till they finally fixed it permanently. edit: although i didn't use mine for pvp due to pvp being member/crown locked
Incredible video! Got to see a lot of things I didnt even know about and bring back a lot memories of things i had completely forgotten about. The early to mid 2010s wiz days will always be a special time for me
surprised people had a problem with roleplaying calling themselves omnipotent yet are fine with roleplaying as wizard, using magic and summoning monsters which is also biblically condemned.. And there's even a part in Mooshu where you have to show reverence to the Muddha the equivelent of the Buddha
Man, I haven't played this game in a loooong time but these icebergs were a really great nostalgia trip and it was super interesting to learn stuff I never knew about a game I really loved as a kid. Thank you!
Did i just spend 3 hours of my work day watching pt 1 and pt 2? Yes, Yes i did. Love the Content. The free realm mentions in both parts hit the heart lol Loved Both games when i was younger!
anyone here have a marked location to get behind the counter in the bazaar or up top on the platform in the hatchery? i used to be able to do the eliks edge glitch but it doesnt work anymore since they changed it around and it doesnt work for the ones i want to get to. ill pay in emps or an elucidate
I just found you and binged this video and part 1 I also ended up finding a storm beetle in my bank that was ancient, it made me sad because my first wiz I ever made was a storm and now that I’m 170 I wanna get it to mega/ultra and have fun and catch up :)

It’s great that all the Make-A-Wish players were added in meaningful ways that give good rewards

Allen gives the fourth potion
Blaze introduced team up and sells the badge rewards for it
Also, we do kill Malistaire at the end of Dragonspyre.

On squatting, you can see other players doing it. Many many years ago I used to ask teammates how they do it and they didn't even know they were squatting.
24:24 i have the frontier dragon mount because my brother forced me to play the game the year it came out haha im so glad i did, such fond memories
ayee your brother was looking out for you 😂
1:49:00 And theres also that time the wizard actually just kills the boss Acampi Reedfist and prys the badge of leadership from his "cold dead hands" in the dungeon Deepest Mine in Azteca
Hahaha I completely forgot about that. Wow that is super dark. I do like when the storywriters delve into darker subject matter though. it makes the game more interesting
@@Gladrocker AND the death boss in Tierra de Brea, Ezhua Bad Taste, threatens to wash his mouth with our blood. I LOVE the dialogue in Khrysalis and Azteca so much!
wow!! 😭 that doesn’t sound like good mouthwash 🤣
@@Gladrocker For the record, Acampi Reedfist was already undead. The Wizard didn't kill him - they actually referenced that in the quest. He tells the Wizard "You'll have to pry it from my cold, dead hands... oh, wait."
Edit: It's worth noting that the Wizard has canonically killed people in the past. Malisstaire specifically comes to mind. Before that, there's Krokhotep.
Dell has always been my favorite voice actor for wizard101. May she rest in peace. ❤❤

I have a character that’s 15 years old and has a lot of the of OG items that are unobtainable now, I used to play with my dad I’ve been thinking about getting on to play with him he still plays it by himself and said it reminds him of when I’d play with him as a kid
Found my way back to W101 recently and found your video by coincidence. Super crazy to see Allan get mentioned in this, he was my brother and we had a great time visiting KI all those years ago.
Wow! I am so glad you happened to come across my video. Nice to meet you, and welcome back to W101 :) I loved learning all about Allan’s experiences with Wizard101 while making this video. He was an amazing person, and is missed by all. 🙏
I come across your brothers character in khrysalis last night and started reading up about his experience, I was very touched by your brothers story. It warms my heart to see his memory immortalised in the game.
It's been so long since I logged onto my original account for this game, after Wizard101 went on Steam I primarily began playing over there again when i picked it up again.
I'm Twenty Two now, however when I first started playing i was maybe like Eight or Nine, not too sure on the age. But I DO still have the Frontier Dragon Mount and the Auric Dragon Statue on my old account, not only this but I still have the Selena Gomez Statue and Portrait from when there was that promotional stunt back in the day, oh man, such good times.
Awesome! 😄 That’s super cool you have such rare items on your account. I’m jealous haha
Silence, furry.

This video is a gem for W101 community. I retired long ago from game (like 4/5 years ago) I don't want come back because I fell the game is become really pay to win(especially the pvp part with the spellement thing which I have enjoy the most while I played back on the days),but I still enjoy watch some content from yt about this game and I have aquired ton of informations and things that I don't even know before from this game. So ty for the work to find all of this, you for sure deserve something by the game for the video!!!
Aww thanks so much for the kind words! Means a lot! I totally understand leaving the game because of its increasing pay to win nature. It’s too bad the game’s headed in that direction. But thanks so much again - and KI actually did give me a little something for my content creation. They made my in-game name green instead of the regular blue, so it stands out. It was a nice gesture from them! :)
Heather the wizard took the shit out of me she was scary asf 💀
when i was a child i DEFS had randos have me over for "hex" and they said creepy things n i NEVER realized but its sadly a core wiz-nostalgia memory
This was some serious dedication to have found all this crazy stuff looking through all the update notes and everything, especially when they are so hard to look through efficiently. Well done mate!
Ayee thanks so much! Yeah, the research was a struggle haha. glad you enjoyed the vid!
2:32 holy shit i havent played w101 for 2 years but wanted something to watch in the background while i was doing work from home and seeing my video for one in a million from a long time ago was a total shock to me. Great video!
Oh hey it’s you! 😄 That’s awesome you stumbled across my vid. i’m so glad you enjoyed it, and that was certainly some great one in a million footage haha!
I've never played the game, watched any other youtuber talk about it, or read anything or knew anyone that played this game more then 2 hours. But damn, you make this interesting and I would watch many more of these ice burg videos, you just make it intriguing. I hope you get more traction it's all genuinely interesting
Aww thanks so much! That genuinely makes me very happy to hear. So glad you enjoyed the video. I really appreciate your support!
I played a long time ago as a young kid but haven't played in probably at least 8 years. But I've watched the previous iceberg video many times and now this one will go into my rotation lol. I love long videos that go super in depth on stuff.
Aww love to hear that! I appreciate your support! :)
I saw you in the commons the other day! You were super nice to everyone! I love this kinda of videos hoping to see more in the future!
No wayy! That was such a fun time, hanging with you all in the commons haha. You’ll definitely see me there more often :) Thanks so much for the kind words! Glad you enjoy the video! 😄
I don't remember needing to open nine total obsidian chests, but I do remember needing to do the labyrinth one. Considering how recently we did the Labyrinth at this point in the game, that was insulting. And at the time I saw it as likely an oversight. Like they must have forgotten dungeons reset or something. Boy is it disheartening to find out that was INTENTIONAL.
interesting point about it possibly being an oversight. sounds like something KI would forget 😂 but yes, definitely disheartening!
I absolutely loved your first iceberg! I'm so glad you made this!!
aw thanks so much!! hope you enjoy this one even more 🙌
The amount of work and time you put into these videos is amazing!!
means a lot! 😁🙏
Frontier Dragon mount owner here! Great to see new Wiz content in ‘24 that is well structured and cared for. Well done and can’t wait for more!
Thanks so much! So glad you enjoyed :)
This video is just as fantastic as the first iceberg video. Thank you so much for dedicating so much time and effort towards this, it really gave me a sense of nostalgia and also some new information that I didn't know! Looking forward to part 3 :)
Aw i’m so glad you hear you enjoyed the vid 🙌 that makes me very happy! and you’re welcome 😄
Gladrocker do more of those wizard101 ambience musics and continue these videos too! Please promise me this your videos are insanely good!
Oooh I’ve actually been meaning to make another slow + reverb wiz music compilation for a while now. That’s on my to-do list! Never like making 100% promises though because sometimes other priorities come up 😭 but yeah most likely at some point i will! And thanks for the kind words - much appreciated!!
I watched part 1 when it first came out, I just got this video on my recommended. I enjoyed watching this video just as much as the first . I hope you make a part 3. I’ve been playing the game for over 10 years now and I’m fascinated about the stuff you covered in the video from before my time and even afterwards that I wasn’t aware of. My dad and older brother played the game the year it came out, so I definitely log on to their account to see if they have any rare old stuff. Keep up the good work, I’ll look forward to a part 3 video if it ever comes.
Really appreciate the kind words! I’m so glad you enjoyed the these videos 😄 I’d love to make a part 3 in the future. Great to know you’re interested in watching it!!
1:50:49 The whole of Khrysalis is absolutely metal as fuck. It's worth noting too that in part 1 there's a companion that follows you around for the first half, Dyvim Whitehart, who later gets attacked and thrown out of a window by one of the queen bee's minions in arguably one of the most violent and unexpected cutscenes I've seen in this game, followed by a quest involving you fending off his dying body on the ground from an onslaught of more wasps. A surprisingly brutal and tense sequence of events in a game that for the most part presents itself as a light-hearted kids wizard adventure game but I'm honestly all for it. I instantly fell in love with the general atmosphere of Khrysalis primarily for how different it felt from the rest of the 2nd arc in terms of its tone and stakes, and even artistically it remains as my favorite world in the game.
Outside of that I was also surprised to see that you didn't mention in either video of multiple quest names throughout the game ALSO being references to song names. The most notable imo being the Azteca quests "The Hand That Feeds," "With Teeth," and "Underneath It All," two of them being references to the band Nine Inch Nails' 2005 album With Teeth, and the third being a reference to a song off of their 1999 album The Fragile. Would have been a fun little addition to see but, either way, this was a fantastic video and somewhat of a trip down memory lane for me too as someone who has been playing this game on and off since 2010/2011. I'm elated to see wiz's audience for the most part grow up with the game itself, resulting in us getting quality wiz content like this in 2024.
Thank you for the very insightful comment! 🙂 I agree - I wish KI would make more worlds have a darker theme like Khrysalis. And given how much the playerbase has grown up, I don’t think it would be an issue at all. Also interesting point about all the song related quest titles! Awesome stuff.
I appreciate your kind words. Glad you’re enjoying my videos. Hope to see you around my comment section again!
the fact that you created AN ENTIRE NEW ICEBERG is insane bravo this is the amazing high quailty content ive been starving for.
Thank you so much tyler! Means a lot! So glad you loved it! 😄
The squat thing can actually be server side - if you catch people stuck in that position in battle
Ooh interesting!!
I remember when I heard that she passed away, it got me back into playing wiz again
21:00 Another cool easter egg with Brandon is if you summon him in the dragon fight in the Nightmare Dungeon and you defeat the boss, you will get the badge "Phoned a Friend".
Ooo I love this fact!
@@Gladrocker I'm happy KI still kept up with the lore of Brandon's quest in Wallaru with that badge. After all in the Brandon quest he does mention the dragon's name.
Me too 🙂
I love seeing wiz content around! Especially these icebergs since there’s soooo much to the game but personally it’s been hard finding UA-cam videos about its lore. Thank you!! Absolutely love these. Brings back so many memories of my childhood seeing these things I remember again or have missed being taken out, etc.
I’m so glad you enjoy watching my content! Thank you! 😁
This game is one of the most nostalgic pieces of media in my life and it brings me so much joy to see it talked about and enjoyed to this day
I’m so glad you enjoy the video 😄
I know I’m 3 weeks late to this video, but just finished it today. Bro this is the type of content I love to see on UA-cam. People just putting in all their effort and truly making the videos they want to make. Keep it up
Thank you so much man, i really appreciate the kind words. So glad you enjoyed the video 😎🙏
Great video. Your ability to storytell is solid, and I love that you gave credit to people when appropriate. Keep up the great, hard work!
Really appreciate the kind words :) Thank you!
Incredibly made video Glad!! Enjoyed every minute of it! I hope theres a part 3 sometime :) 10/10
Aww thanks Pluto! So glad you enjoyed it! And oh I’m sure there will be 😉
Freakin LOVE your iceberg vids dude!! Me and my bro just watched them back to back and it kept us very entertained. Turns out, we actually have access to that lost celestia prequest dungeon on two of our wizards and we’re gonna do a video showing it off!! Definitely gonna mention you for how we learnt about it lol.
HOPEFULLY WE CAN SEE THE ELDRITCH TOWER SOMEDAY AGAIN!!
Aye!! That makes me so happy to hear 🙌 And that’s awesome you’ll be making your own video. Best of luck! 😎
When the European servers were still run by Gameforge, you could use a VPN to set your location to Turkey and buy the most expensive crown package for about 5 dollars. Many players bought a lot of crowns this way before the server takeover by Ki, and thus started on the Ki servers with 500k-1.5m crowns. I am one of those players and still have over 500k crowns today.
Oh wow! That’s crazy 🤣🤣
Lol
Storm Beetle owner, pretty sure I got mine with one of the minigame promotions. Didn't know it was rare, and learning it made my night. Thanks!
awesome! 😄
Lets gooo 🔥part 2!
Thank you Gladrocker for the great content
you’re welcome! 😎🙌 hope you enjoy!!
WOO! I've been so excited for this.
WOO! 😂 hope you enjoy!!
i actually have the frontier dragon mount!! i was super little when i first started playing wiz lol such nice blast to the past from these videos, thank you so much for the hard work to compile these!! we all appreciate it so much, takes us back to a better time 😃
Aw i’m so happy to hear you enjoyed the vid! And ahh i’m jealous you have that mount 😂 Amazing!
What a unique and amazing video, once more!!! Full of subjects of interest, things that made us laugh, wonder, get suspicious or even get mad at certain times... Such an oasis of pure love for the game away from the usual drama that's been bugging the game recently. Thank you!!!
Thank you for the kind words! That really means a lot. I couldn’t be happier to have brought joy to you and the rest of this amazing community 🙂
@@Gladrocker thank you! Keep up the excellent work you are doing!!!
There it is! I remember seeing you in the commons, great to see this come to fruition. Can’t wait to watch later tonight
Awesome! Remind me your wizard’s name? And thank you - I really hope you enjoy watching it!
@@GladrockerI was Jason Stormblood, I wore the old noob fit, but with myth colors haha
Yes hahaha i remember you! That’s too funny 😂 nice seeing you again!
I’m so glad this became a series and I’m really hoping for a part 3 in the future,please keep up the good content and these iceberg videos👏
thanks so much! 🙌
Just ordered a Storm hoodie from the new merch store AND you posted another iceberg? Excellent week for W101 :)
(Also it’s nice to see how active in your comments you are. You’re doing great!)
Aw thanks so much! Appreciate the kind words! 🙌 and yes BIG week for the game hahaha
This and your previous iceberg has got be the most detailed, most well put together and thought out Wizard101 iceberg I ever seen, man. It'd be nice to see you do Wizard101 lore content too, that'd be pretty sweet! Keep up the great work, Gladrocker!
Really appreciate your kind words! Glad you’re enjoying my content! Thank you 😄
32:28 Literally me 24/7 when gardening and questing.
Dang, watched this and just realized that my storm beetle pet is super rare😂
yep it really is 😂😂
THE PART TWO IVE BEEN WAITING FOR, thank you so much
AYEE! 🙌 hope you enjoy!! you’re very welcome!
Interestingly enough, there’s a quest in Azteca where you literally kill one of the bosses. It’s called “Cold Dead Hands”. The dialogue after winning the basically says you’ll have to pry a badge from the enemy’s dead hands, and there lies a dinosaur corpse. Thought it was an interesting observation after watching the Khrysalis “Kill” badge section.
Oh wow! That’s very interesting (and disturbing 😂)! Thanks for sharing that fact with me
rarely sub to anyone on youtube anymore but I can tell how much effort was put into this legendary video. you earned it goat
thank you so much! means a lot! And welcome to the channel 🙌
i’m so glad u covered heatherthewiz LOL i was there during all that and it was CRAAAAZY - good job on the video! love this and can’t wait for more :))
Hahaha can’t imagine being in the community during all of that drama. That must’ve been entertaining to watch in realtime 😂 and thank you so much 🙌 Means a lot!
as someone who played in 2009 its so refreshing and nostalgic to hear about all the old stuff 🙏🏽 ty for the video!
you’re welcome bro thanks so much for watching! 🙏🙏
this vid is one of the best wiz vids i've ever seen made so much fun facts and quirks of our beloved wizard101 I hope to see you on that wiz grind soon keep it up! :D
ayeee appreciate you bro 🙏🙌
I imagine the ghost sigils were some king of rudimentary early solution to solo instances. The fact that two people get split up makes me feel more like that's the case.
Yeah that’s a really good point!
WOW, really comprehensive. Great work. Thank you for taking the time to research and make this. May Grandmother Raven smile upon you.
Aw thank you for the kind words. So happy to hear you enjoyed it! 🙂
This is hella informative! Been playing since I reckon 2010/2011 and really takes me on a trip down memory lane! Very cool!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Absolutely amazing video!! Great job!!! 🫶💖
Aw thanks so much! Really appreciate it 😎🫶
lets goooo :D been waiting for this since i saw the first part
awesome!! hope you enjoy! 😁
Hi! I'm a friend of AnonW101DiskBuyer and I showed this to them. Of course, they since made the disk public like you saw in the Reddit post. They really appreciated seeing it.
Also, on the thought of Pokémon, interestingly, the chat filter permits people to mention the names of 3 Pokémon, Abra, Kadabra, and Alakazam. I could buy Alakazam being a coincidence, since, well, this IS a game about magic and people could say something like that when they use a spell or something. Abra and Kadabra though, I just don't find it that likely to be a coincidence. I haven't tried other Pokémon names (and there's literally over 1000 now, I don't have the time or resources to try every single name, that's just something I did for fun).
Also also, another thing I know I mentioned on Reddit, but if you do a part 3, I'd love to see how you cover the friendly players that serve as teleport pads, like Tabitha Winterheart in the Bazaar, Samantha in the Pet Pavilion, Kane Rainbowbane in the Drains (near the Abandoned House instance), Brittany Soulmender near the potion vendor, and so on.
Hey there! Thanks for showing AnonW101DiskBuyer 😄 Im glad both of you enjoyed and appreciated the vid! And yes - i love the friendly player teleport pad topic. I’ll be sure to cover that. Also great info about pokemon! If you think of anything else please let me know! Feel free to twitter dm or discord message as well!
Abra and Kadabra are named after the Abracadabra spell magicians used in their acts. Or maybe it was a single magician that popularized the phrase, I'm not sure.
That would explain their specific names being included in the white list.
You could ask the Reddit sub Mod all about how he does it - anytime they're mentioned in a post, he pops up :P
Your videos have made me want to get back into W101. An absolute nostalgia experience. I think I might do that whenever I get off ESO. Cant wait for part 3! Ill definitely stay tuned for it!
Thank you man, that means a lot! 🙏
@@Gladrocker Absolutely! W101 is a fun experience that can be described as unique and while I always made jokes and memes about it, I never thought it was a bad game.
This is awesome! I’ve been playing Wizard101 for a while but I didn’t know most of this stuff. It’s all super interesting. I love learning new things about the game. Thank you for sharing!! I enjoyed watching this video!
i’m so glad enjoyed the video and learned new things! makes me happy to hear 😁
This video made me, cry, laugh, scared, and feel nostalgic all in 2 hours. It’s a cinematic marvel honestly.
It’s an experience! Haha thank you :)

no u 😎
Y’all have no idea how much I wanted the frontier dragon mount. I would’ve given my soul for one 😭😭
Aww did you start playing the game after the window for it? Or were you eligible and forgot to log on and claim it? 😭
@@Gladrocker unfortunately, I started playing in either 2011 or 2012 I think it was 😭😭
😭😭😭
@@Gladrocker I was the latter, but only because my cousin got the accounts eligible taken out at the time :(
57:12 yea this wasn't a rumor back in those days i had a level 12 myth wizard with one of those level 45 hats and even when they did put it as 45 my character still had it equipped for awhile till they finally fixed it permanently.
edit: although i didn't use mine for pvp due to pvp being member/crown locked
oh very cool you experienced this firsthand! darn, too bad you couldn’t get some easy pvp wins with it 😂😂
Incredible video! Got to see a lot of things I didnt even know about and bring back a lot memories of things i had completely forgotten about. The early to mid 2010s wiz days will always be a special time for me
Thank you! 😁 And yes, early to mid 2010s wiz was such a special time for me too!
Video was too good, you deserve so much more recognition
This really means a lot. Thank you!
37:37 we got what we want just 2 year later, they offically confirmed it
that’s incredible news!
THE BLAZE TARA DRAMA IM CRYINGGG
lmfaooo
surprised people had a problem with roleplaying calling themselves omnipotent yet are fine with roleplaying as wizard, using magic and summoning monsters which is also biblically condemned.. And there's even a part in Mooshu where you have to show reverence to the Muddha the equivelent of the Buddha
Yeah agreed. And good point!
Man, I haven't played this game in a loooong time but these icebergs were a really great nostalgia trip and it was super interesting to learn stuff I never knew about a game I really loved as a kid. Thank you!
Awesome! You’re welcome! 😄
Did i just spend 3 hours of my work day watching pt 1 and pt 2? Yes, Yes i did. Love the Content. The free realm mentions in both parts hit the heart lol Loved Both games when i was younger!
Thanks so much for watching both! I’m glad you enjoyed them 😄 Appreciate you!
Such a cozy video 😊
:)
Is anyone gonna mention that he's using Liriks photo when they were talking about Blaze Lifehammer 😂
Oops 😂
anyone here have a marked location to get behind the counter in the bazaar or up top on the platform in the hatchery? i used to be able to do the eliks edge glitch but it doesnt work anymore since they changed it around and it doesnt work for the ones i want to get to. ill pay in emps or an elucidate
hopefully someone comes through for ya
Did not expect to watch a two hour long video on UA-cam over wizard101 but here I am. I finished it. This was a very interesting video.
Haha comments like yours are the best! I appreciate you sticking around for the whole vid! Hope to see you again here in the future :)
I just found you and binged this video and part 1
I also ended up finding a storm beetle in my bank that was ancient, it made me sad because my first wiz I ever made was a storm and now that I’m 170 I wanna get it to mega/ultra and have fun and catch up :)
awesome! so glad you found my channel! 🙌 and hahaha yes, train that pet! :)
6:41 A decade later and I've finally made it...
