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.

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
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..
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
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
@@Gladrockerabout the Pokémon stuff btw. I seem to remember there was this magazine, becket or something and there was some sort of collab with Pokémon in the magazine where they gave out either the Shardtail Dragon (expired) or the original death beatle
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.
I'm Polish for context. Baba Yaga in the mythology stories I've heard; kidnaps misbehaving children, eats/cooks babies, but also can help you if you are benevolent. Also, I agree that Khrysalis is completely the darkest world. It reminds me very much of WWII. There are a lot of parallels between them. It's terrifying but makes for good story.
Ahhh the good old days where we’d stand in the commons and say “I need a girl” or “I need a boy”, and then you’d get a partner. Then if you got married and “had children” you’d go to the commons and put out an application for a child 😭😭 So incredibly cringe but wow, this game was amazing and had such a great community.
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!

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!
tbh if disney bought KI, then they'd shut it down just like club penguin. cause they are a mega-corp that have way too much money, and still don't care about what people really want.

Hey that's me at 50:17 !! Some context for that tweet, I never did the exploit, was only mocking how people who did got only a temporary suspension and nothing more. At the end of the day it was KI's fault for allowing all of that to unfold and those second chance rerolls costed crowns which is probably why they didn't permanently ban players who did it. ANOTHER EXCELLENT ICEBERG, THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS TYPE OF CONTENT! Will be waiting for part 3!!
Hahaha awesome seeing you here! And oh thanks for clarifying, i actually did interpret your tweet as sarcasm / mocking the real exploiters 😂 Agreed - absolutely KI’s fault. They need to test their game more, it’s pretty ridiculous. And thank you so much! 🙌 Really appreciate the kind words
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.

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! :)
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 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!
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! 😄
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!!
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 😃
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
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 :)
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.
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.
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.
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!
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!)
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 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.
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 really enjoy iceberg videos like this because due to somewhat niche nature of Wizard101 information about the game on this level is hard to find even if you’re actively looking for it so I am glad to have videos like this one where so much information is compiled in one place
hey i wanted u to know, i had to put my dog down today, but this video is giving me so much comfort rn. entertaining and 2 hours long is keeping me distracted, thank you
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!
This was amazing. I had a frontier dragon mount on my first wizard101 account i used to play with my momma. She has passed and I always think about our wizard adventures. She loved this game. We were fire and storm. Lvl. 150 & 50.
I still have my same original account from when I was a kid and I checked my shared bank and there was a storm beetle! I have no clue how I had gotten it originally but he was there! Moved him to my newest storm wizard! I never would’ve known it was a rare pet without this video so thanks!
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!
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
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
Cant believe people are still playing this game. This was the only game that my pc could run back in the days when i was a kid and so i grinded the shit outta it (without membership btw). I hope this game never dies
The Burnzilla pet also gave +5% resist back in like 2009 I believe. It came just like the Defender pig but with a Firezilla card. It was only obtained through Best Buys 20$ card, and like the Defender pig, would change (sometimes you'd get a Firezilla, hotzilla, etc.) I had this pet so that's how I know about it lol. This was an awesome video!
@@GladrockerIf you look up on the Wizard101 forums, a person vaguely mentions their Burnzilla +5% pet and how they got it. The post is from like 2010 and it's called "Leveling my Burnzilla to 9%" or something. But the pet just came with the talent like the defender pig way before training
Grown man here without the money to own a pc I play Roblox wizard 101 aka spellbound now know as magic card rpg sadly only about 40 daily players but it deserves so much more love it’s truly free to play wizard 101 and it’s been much more updated absolutely beautiful game❤

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

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 💀
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! 😄
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

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!
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 :)
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! 😄
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 😂
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! :)
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.
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.
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 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 😄
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.
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!!
The squat thing can actually be server side - if you catch people stuck in that position in battle
Ooh interesting!!
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! 🙏🙏
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! 😄
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! 😁🙏
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!!
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!
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 😭😭
😭😭😭
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 😎🙏
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 😄
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
Dang, watched this and just realized that my storm beetle pet is super rare😂
yep it really is 😂😂
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! 🙌
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
I remember when I heard that she passed away, it got me back into playing wiz again
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 😉
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 :)
@@Gladrocker ur tha goat
no u 😎
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 :)
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!
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!
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 🙂
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 😄
Didn’t realize I was apart of so much history playing between 2008 and 2013. I hung out a lot in the chat rooms and knew every exploit
Lets gooo 🔥part 2!
Thank you Gladrocker for the great content
you’re welcome! 😎🙌 hope you enjoy!!
Very much looking forward to this deeper dive! The first one was a legendary video. Thank you for putting the time and research into these!🧙🏻♂️
You’re very welcome! 🙌 Thank you for the kind words. I hope you enjoy!
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
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! 😁
After hearing about the hidden Grizzleheim/Celestia language just made those world I really love to begin with even more special
😁😁😁
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!
THE PART TWO IVE BEEN WAITING FOR, thank you so much
AYEE! 🙌 hope you enjoy!! you’re very welcome!
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 really enjoy iceberg videos like this because due to somewhat niche nature of Wizard101 information about the game on this level is hard to find even if you’re actively looking for it so I am glad to have videos like this one where so much information is compiled in one place
That’s right :)
hey i wanted u to know, i had to put my dog down today, but this video is giving me so much comfort rn. entertaining and 2 hours long is keeping me distracted, thank you
aww i’m incredibly sorry to hear that :( i’m glad to know you found comfort in my video though 🫶 that’s really special
37:37 we got what we want just 2 year later, they offically confirmed it
that’s incredible news!
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!
WOO! I've been so excited for this.
WOO! 😂 hope you enjoy!!
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 🙌
This was amazing. I had a frontier dragon mount on my first wizard101 account i used to play with my momma. She has passed and I always think about our wizard adventures. She loved this game. We were fire and storm. Lvl. 150 & 50.
Thank you! And that is amazing you have such special memories playing with her! 🥲
Absolutely amazing video!! Great job!!! 🫶💖
Aw thanks so much! Really appreciate it 😎🫶
THE BLAZE TARA DRAMA IM CRYINGGG
lmfaooo
lets goooo :D been waiting for this since i saw the first part
awesome!! hope you enjoy! 😁
One of the best wizard101 essays ive ever seen. I hope this goes viral.
Thank you so much!!
I still have my same original account from when I was a kid and I checked my shared bank and there was a storm beetle! I have no clue how I had gotten it originally but he was there! Moved him to my newest storm wizard! I never would’ve known it was a rare pet without this video so thanks!
Wow!! That’s amazing you have one! I’m jealous 😂
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!
Is anyone gonna mention that he's using Liriks photo when they were talking about Blaze Lifehammer 😂
Oops 😂
Such a cozy video 😊
:)
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! 😄
Fun fact: the old sound effect in the alpha (the little bubble pop) is still heard when learning a new spell
oooh that’s right! i knew it sounded familiar 😁
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
6:41 A decade later and I've finally made it...
you’re famous! 🤩😂
@@Gladrocker Repping the Frontier Dragon in and out of the Spiral.
nicee 😎
nana getting canceled on twitter is probably the funniest part of wiz lore
Agreed. That whole era felt like a fever dream
Crazy how I learned so much despite playing this game for over a decade. Great video!
That’s the goal! 😉 Glad I was able to teach even veteran players like yourself new things about the game 🙌 Thank you!
I hope one day you'll make an iceburg about pirate101, amazing video glad, can't wait for part 3.
Thanks so much 😄 and ooh p101 may be a challenge because i’ve actually sadly never played that game - but maybe one day!
This has a lot of cool stuff in it, but man do the feels hit hard. This game will always have a special place in my heart.
me too 🥲
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!
Cant believe people are still playing this game. This was the only game that my pc could run back in the days when i was a kid and so i grinded the shit outta it (without membership btw). I hope this game never dies
hahaha that’s awesome. maybe one day you’ll feel nostalgic and run it back 😎
The Burnzilla pet also gave +5% resist back in like 2009 I believe. It came just like the Defender pig but with a Firezilla card. It was only obtained through Best Buys 20$ card, and like the Defender pig, would change (sometimes you'd get a Firezilla, hotzilla, etc.) I had this pet so that's how I know about it lol. This was an awesome video!
2009?
@@brazil-y2y it was around that time maybe 2010. I remember it was during the time you could not train pets
Wow! This is super useful knowledge. I’ll have to look more into it! Awesome, thanks for telling me :)
@@GladrockerIf you look up on the Wizard101 forums, a person vaguely mentions their Burnzilla +5% pet and how they got it. The post is from like 2010 and it's called "Leveling my Burnzilla to 9%" or something. But the pet just came with the talent like the defender pig way before training
Ooo this is helpful! Thanks Comocha 😁
Grown man here without the money to own a pc I play Roblox wizard 101 aka spellbound now know as magic card rpg sadly only about 40 daily players but it deserves so much more love it’s truly free to play wizard 101 and it’s been much more updated absolutely beautiful game❤
Awesome! 😄
this is such an insane coverage of wizard101 lore its not even funny. you hit EVERYTHING 😭💀
thanks so much! 😂
