If it's daytime, Drowned out of water will turn passive and try to find water. That's why the boss and some of the other drowned didn't fight back, they needed their emotional support water.
There was no scenario in which he saw the button and failed to press it. I was hoping she'd include a button that just killed you. He'd probably press it twice.
All of Gem's thoughts going into this build is so wholesome. Designing each room for her players based on strengths and weaknesses, all the details. Gives great DM energy🙌🏼😊💛
I find it SO funny that Grian just went for that elytra the moment it was back in the chest, and that he was quite quick when it came to getting the key. I LOVE it (and I'd be doing the same)
Yeah, Mojang doing Mojang things and forgetting that Minecraft is in fact a sandbox... classic. Like, you can't just make a creature effectively stop functioning outside of its natural environment like that in such a setting (yes, I've read up on it and Drowned are passive during the day until a player touches water nearby, so there is a workaround, but it would be unnecessary if sufficient thought had gone into the way these guys are coded).
Fitting considering she spent forever making a setting, puzzles, and interesting combat for the group to just bulldoze their way through the entire thing
Gem, I missed this so much. I remember watching videos like this back in 2018-2019 when you were making creative videos and tutorials. I miss this era of yours, but I'm so happy how much you have grown. Still, thanks for the nostalgia ( been with you since 10k subs ) love youuu
It’s so wholesome seeing everyone individually enjoy the games and puzzles Gem left for them specifically. Everyone got to be in their element and work together, it was a delight to watch. From design to consideration, this build was peak!
absolutely adore how gem catered the challenges to the people playing. its genuinely so cool and interesting and you can tell a lot of care, time, and thought was put into this to make it challenging, but fun and interesfing for the group
I love the addition of the ravager stable just to put everyone on edge thinking of the possibility that they may encounter more ravagers, truly evil mind games xD
Grian avian going so strong in the elytra room. How he said "aw" when they told him he has to leave it behind. Also Joel's high pitched screams are everything 😭💀
I loved literally all of this video -- the build, the chaos, the snark, the challenges... what absolute fun! And Gem being a good sport to be "defeated" in the very end XD Wonderful vid!
It's beautiful to see Gem making a little something for everyone and having all the guys rushing it, being. "I'm so good at this!!" When she just put everything in for them to be able to say it. ^^ Great build! Great game! Nice job ^^ Love to see it
He has such a high moral energy which he has spoken about using in his old work spaces I loved his energy from being first introduced to him in life series
The best part about the underwater hole to access the base is how everyone on the hermitcraft server has issues locating the underwater river entrance to Gem’s storage room. 😂
These builds are why i absolutely love your work, in every building and every structure you always manage to give it a story and life that’s similar to one’s ive seen in super long dnd games. maybe i’m just a fantasy nerd but i love these builds SOO much. it’s also so obvious the thought you put into each build by making areas for each players strengths and weaknesses and it just amazing me how you can do all that and still have an absolutely stellar build at the end of it, love your work gem, keep it up!
ok wow I LOVED seeing not only your thought process and bits of building but how much overall time it took, holy moly. Also hearing how you thought about each person's strengths and tried to have a part for all of them was awesome. The enemy vendors with items was really cool. Watching everyone make their way through was so fun and you did amazing at decorating and coming up with challenges. Thank you!!
This was so much fun I love how Gem walked through her ideas while building; the map is so creative. Watching this reminded me of DND lol. I’m loving all the different games so far.
FORTRESS! Gems specialty!! also i have to say the captions on gems videos helps me lots, i love having captions while watching videos and it helps me lots to comprehend what’s going on on screen:)
@@R3M1thatonekid i think she started doing it at the start of this season or later? Yeah and grain does it as well and i appreciate it lots:) he’s done it longer for sure:)
This was such a fun watch! The way Gem built that castle and made it a total challenge is so creative. 😂 I love how everyone just gets super silly during the fights. Also, Grian's reaction to being outside had me rolling! Can't wait to see what other crazy stuff you come up with! 🏰✨
That's a really nice castle. Kinda feels like a combo of your Hermitcraft season 8 and 9 bases. Love the touch of reversing the vibe of a castle town with pillagers. Grian looking too hard at the beginning is such a Grian thing to do. Skizz yelling, "What's up!" every time he gets a hit has such a "teenager who thinks he's cooler than he actually is" vibe.😅 Of course Grian found the button.
I adore Gem's building style ❤and how she went above and beyond to have the challenges tailored for each friend. Her attention to detail is incredible, and I love it😊
@@Tinyturtletwo There was a time when they did the latest among us and impulse managed to vote off jimmy off after grian got ejected off after he told it was him but no one believed him and after that grian just went "my dad got revenge" lol
Seeing all these games/ challenges always makes me want to see people like; tango, doc, cub, and zed do one of these. Zeds would just be so wacky it would be fun! Tango and doc would probably over engineer the heck out of it (they might need a few months...) and Cub being the king of mini games i feel like would have tons of great ideas! But i know that these kinds of videos are easier for some hermits then others or some of you just have more time then others so i do understand to some degree why many other hermits often dont participate in these kinds of videos, but doesnt change the fact that it would be cool to see more hermits participate in stuff like these and what ideas they would come up with!
I’ve seen a ton of Minecraft content through the years and this is one of the most entertaining videos I’ve see. In a long time! Well done. Amazing build Gem!
This is so inspiring! I started making adventure maps in creative after the latest hide and seek series you did, but I ;lost steam recently half way through a project. This is ideal to get my mind back in that space! Such a fun map and a fun video to watch :) I love the explanations for how the map is designed!
7:40 Just want to point out how much of a banger that song is. Heard it many many times by now and as soon as it came I sang the melody with full body motion 😂
This build is genuinely SO impressive it feels like a map you'd go through in a medival/fantasy rpg,, The fact that you built it in less than a day is incredible!!
Medieval castles were usually multi layered for defensive purposes. They would have an inner ring wall and an outer ring wall with lots of towers. Granted not all castles had that but what I'm trying to say is that your design philosophy is actually historically accurate and authentic for the most part! Though it is missing a double layered portcullis and maticulations which would allow archers to shoot below the turrets safely. Then again this is a fantasy castle not a medieval one. Also the design reminds me of Mont Saint Michel's fortress in France. Very cool!!
Gen you are so talented and I have been a fan of you and your life series and hermitcraft friends! I love seeing you do fun things with your minecraft friends in every video ❤
Gem what a beautiful build. I am so appreciative of all the time you put into this video and it certainly paid off what a fun idea! (I’d love to see some fan art where the guys are all inside the castle walls in utter chaos and off to the side is Grian just chilling… floating in the ocean on a floatie)
It was really interesting seeing how different people would design something to be played by players. It really gives you an insight on how they think and what they value in a game
absolutely loved the specific details/ optional content that allowed them to look in chests and find somewhat hidden armour and the build is so awesome
@@PJOMincrafterhp I have a medical condition called Adrenal Insufficiency where by body doesn't make the correct steroids to fight stress or sickness and I went into adrenal crisis which can be fatal if not treated on time. But I'm all good now

Love how all the challenges Gem said a specific person would be good at managed to be beaten by the same person Gem said, she knows them so well
She's a master mind
And Grian fittingly found the hidden button at the end.
I was just about to comment about how you can tell they are all very close and know each other’s strengths/weaknesses

@@aaishaismail5717can you post the drawing somewhere???
Grian being stuck outside during the beginning was so hilarious!
It’s was grians destiny to press the button
agreed
Joel killing the Zombie Horse killed me as well. 💀
I think he got them back with "Look at how cool I am, or I'm not bringing back the key!"
He’s like a kid being left alone in the shops
If it's daytime, Drowned out of water will turn passive and try to find water. That's why the boss and some of the other drowned didn't fight back, they needed their emotional support water.

Ah, the contrast between Impulse helping Grian find his way, and Joel breaking boats to send Pillagers after Skizz and Jimmy.
My favorite highlights: Grian stranding himself, Skizz misreading Cottagecore Queen as Cottage Cheese, Joel shouting "I HATE THE BIRBS!"
Many of them call them birds
@@spidybat7658 I think they might have been renamed as birds
@@newttellathey were renamed as "birb" intentionally misspelled

They call to him, and he has to answer
There was no scenario in which he saw the button and failed to press it. I was hoping she'd include a button that just killed you. He'd probably press it twice.

Yeah, Mojang doing Mojang things and forgetting that Minecraft is in fact a sandbox... classic.

Her explaining her thought process reminds me of DMing when I play DND with friends.
Fitting considering she spent forever making a setting, puzzles, and interesting combat for the group to just bulldoze their way through the entire thing
Just your average DND session
DMs who create challenges that are tailored to the players' strengths and weaknesses are the best.
Oh Grian. Cheers to impulse rescuing him from the outside 😂
it was tough watching him fight with a firework in his offhand and a shield in his hotbar
Grian used his one brain cell to explore the other way around the outside and was punished for it. He learned his lesson.

Yesssss so true
With everyone showing off Axiom, it was really awesome that the Queen of WorldEdit was sticking by the OG tool.
I know they're not *super* new to your channel, but thanks for starting to do proper captions! It makes me happy to see every time.

“Oh man”
“Yeah I’m swimming,even though I wanted to fly”
He truly is a bird
He's just a bird in the world
Grian was forced to be a penguin when he desired to be a hawk
And then at last he got his wings, and perched on the lantern to secure his victory
Not a bird but a *birb*
no, he's a watcher, thats why
Grian has a six sense when it comes to finding and pressing buttons XD
“An elytra area, for Grian of course” I love how Grian is just. A bird. Lmao

Would other Empires players like to do this sort of thing?
YES! THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT!!!
I’m also watching that as well
At the very end, it was just primal screaming. That is a sign of a strong friend group.
Grian avian going so strong in the elytra room. How he said "aw" when they told him he has to leave it behind. Also Joel's high pitched screams are everything 😭💀
I feel like Gem would make an excellent dungeon master for DND. Can you imagine how crazy a DND game would get with these guys? 😂😂

Of course Grian finds the button XD
Its cool to see Skizz join up so much after coming to Hermit Craft, he adds such a unique energy that the group benefits from.
He has such a high moral energy which he has spoken about using in his old work spaces I loved his energy from being first introduced to him in life series

The best part about the underwater hole to access the base is how everyone on the hermitcraft server has issues locating the underwater river entrance to Gem’s storage room. 😂
Grian finding the button was PERFECT
Circular Castles just always put me in mind of BoTWs Hyrule Castle these days. Had that theme on in my head the entire video XD
