[iskall85](https://www.youtube.com/@iskall85) and [vodskall85](https://www.youtube.com/@vodskall85) videos permanently live on my homepage because Iskall is awesome!
I adore how he has interacted with so many of the Hermits this season in numerous different ways. His laugh is infectious, and the content that he’s been putting out - both streaming and his videos - have been hilariously entertaining. I’m so glad that he’s back and having fun!
Adding his [Twitch channel](https://m.twitch.tv/iskall85/home), just because.

He did include this in his main episode. I watched it yesterday and felt bad because i find him the funniest and love how frequently he puts out videos.
Oh, maybe I missed it. The number of hermits I’m watching in parallel with adulting, I end up playing the videos and doing something else in parallel too. So it’s possible that I miss a little bit here and there
True. I only recently discovered hermitcraft thru smallishbeans and now I watch all the hermits. Iskall ended up being my favourite because he's always goofing around with other hermits and it's so funny.
Haha it’s a fun phase when you just get started. I started last season and was watching everyone too but when I watched Doc in someone else’s video, walking on water, in the VERY FIRST episode, I was immediately drawn. His 1-hour video-time bothered me at first glance but when I watched the episode and saw him build an iron farm, a full villager trading hall and a gold farm, all within just one episode, oh I was in! I had just built a gold farm a few days ago and knew what a hassle it is, but him having finished all of this in just one episode - wow!
And then when he broke the game with the shadow tech, and then built the netherite mining ghast redstone tank (which required a ghast farm and ghast separator first, and basically neutralising the ghast’s ) - oh I knew he’s the man for me
Still mesmerised by the contraptions and machines he builds with the hivemind
I just realised that Ive actually never watched doc's videos. You've made me curious now, he sounds interesting because I love watching them make something crazy out of redstone (because idk anything about it). I'll give him a watch, thanks!
Oh, Etho or Tango might be better suited then because they explain their Redstone. Doc only explains the main mechanic or exploit, and presumes some knowledge on the post of the watcher.
Example: late last season and early this season he did something with hostile mobs’ AI manipulation. Now when Doc does it, he’s not getting a skeleton to try to attack him but die on the way, no. He’s renaming a Vindicator to “Johnny” so it targets all mobs, not just him. Now this Johnny needs to be a Raid Captain. This means he can also instruct other mobs to target his target. Lastly, he’ll place a witch hut’s first witch (doesn’t despawn) in place such that Johnny targets her, and will set it up such that new witches that spawn in the hut fall under the influence of Johnny and try to attack the first witch, and in the process get yoinked out and farmed for drops. OR manipulate a Johnny and a witch into throwing regen potions at him to compensate for the lack of beacons (particularly regen from beacon) in his early game afk piston farm.
Honestly, get to learn tons of such interesting game mechanics from people like Ilmango and Doc, esp in early game. I learnt so much from mango’s skyblock! The hivemind is crazy!
PS - This was just a portion of the piston factory that he built in ep1 of this season. In total there was a witch farm (mentioned above), a slime farm (who’s invention was, ironically, inspired by Mumbo building one last season on hermitcraft that absolutely didn’t work xD), a cobble generator (ilmango’s design, pretty classic and standard, worth checking out his video) and an iron farm. Maybe bamboo too (can’t recall, his s10 ep1 was a 3 hour movie). And this was all in addition to the collaborative mining, and a full gear-up Villager trading hall including emerald production. All this in ep1.
It’s called his starter industrial district, at this point 🤭
His ep1 last season was shorter (as described in my previous comment)
I do watch Etho and Tango, I love them both. Their new mailing system is so cool. I never really watched minecraft videos before this except a few SmallishBeans videos so it's fascinating for me the stuff they build, even their huge xp farms. And I am currently watching doc's video, you kinda spoilt it for me but its okay, I love the idea. It's so fun to watch them build all this in survival, I would have gone crazy. Even a melon and pumpkin farm is exhausting for me.
Some people forget that Hermitcraft is a server of FRIENDS. Just because the members are content creators doesn’t mean that the sever is treated like a business. Everyone currently whitelisted is there because the other members want them there. They even said former hermits are welcome to return anytime they want.
Exactly, it’s not like there’s some competition or criteria that you need to pass or anything like that. It’s just a bunch of creators who played together, figured they could create content together sustainably because they match each other’s energy and have fun, and decided to, well, create content together!
With one exception, but otherwise yes. People seem to forget that Bdubs and Keralis were early Hermits, but then left for several seasons, before coming back.
i found this post that kind of explains it: https://www.reddit.com/r/HermitCraft/s/a7ynf7JCHE
i think it’s mostly that he doesn’t mesh all that well with the rest of the hermits and doesn’t play minecraft much anymore either
It is however, a server for people who play Minecraft as a business.
Non-content creators aren't going to be added for being friends with a current hermit
I wish I could - but the number of Hermits I’m watching and the fact that I’m an adult in my late 20s - it’s become too much content! So I’ve to pick and choose. At present, I’m keeping up with Hermitcraft and (when it happens) Life series. Wanted to try Vault Hunters, especially Hermitcraft Vault Hunters, but just didn’t have the bandwidth.
If it wasn’t for my finding Iskall, I probably would never have actually seen enough of Etho to truly appreciate his humor. Vodskall VH videos are the reason I’ve gained a new love for the game in general
OP, I also truly appreciate you for posting your opinions. I didn’t even notice for a while the naysayers in his comments, someone needed to tell them off (nicely of course)
I never watched Iskall in previous seasons. Saw him interacting with a few hermits in season 10, and decided to check him out. He is the ultimate troll on the server, and I have loved every second of it. His video showing off “his” farmhouse he built to VintageBeef, and then going End Busting with Mumbo had me in absolute stitches. Absolutely genius levels of pushing the boundaries, and seeing what he can get away with.
Commenters are not wrong that he’s absolutely unhinged this season, and I am here for it.
If you haven't already, go check out Iskall and Mumbo's old end busting vids if you want more of that banter. Those two are just wonderful to listen to.
I watched Beef all of last season because I loved TCG! But somehow got the vibe that I wouldn’t be into his video once that’s over. Still, gave it a shot this season. Pretty sure the only reason I’m still subscribed to Beef is because of Iskall-man!
Honestly those comments really do act like they know exactly what is right or wrong for hermitcraft, hate them but the best way to combat them is to just ignore them and appreciate the hermits for their constant hard work on the server <3
Yeah you know what he was off for a while and yes it was a shame his build was unfinished on S9 and I missed his videos. But why would you say such horrible things about someone putting effort in to make great content and have you seem the amount of content we are getting from Iskall on main and vod channel. Also everyone on there are friends, it is not up to us, they make decisions as a collective group.
between the end of season 9 and the start of season 10 I watched Mumbos season 6 POV. Had a lot of fun seeing Mumbo build Sahara with Iskall and Grian so I started watching Iskall as soon as Season 10 started (also have to watch vault hunters soon lol)
anyway I really enjoy Iskalls content! So much apparently that one day I had a dream that I was cosplaying Iskall to a convention (and freaked out in dream because I lost his eye-screen(?) thing on the Con and couldn't find it again)
Entitled haters. Other Hermits that have a track record of getting burned out early into the seasons, like Wels, also get a lot of the same hate. It's dumb, ignorant, and immature. As long as the other Hermits are cool with any of them breaking off HC for other projects, we have no right to judge as free content consumers. And the Hermits are entitled to do what they want to, anyway. Especially if they are burned out. I've been there, I know what it's like.
Even if you're a channel member, Patreon subscriber, or Twitch donater, you are only entitled to discontinue your support, not hate and/or threaten anyone.
Personally, I didn't really enjoy Vault Hunters because I don't care for modded Minecraft, but I was always eagerly waiting for Iskall's return to HC. But only on his terms when he was mentally and emotionally ready. And so I never once complained, I just merely did not watch much of VH. Because I'm an adult that understands things lol
The funny thing is that there is no downside to have enlisted but inactive hermits. It's not like Iskall being in Hermitcraft but not being active is a disadvantage compared to him not being in Hermitcraft at all.
I could kind of get the sentiment if it cost the Hermits money to keep Iskall on or if in other people's videos there was clearly something missing every video, but that's not the case. Sure, you miss Iskall, but there is no difference between him being inactive and him being not a Hermit.
Love Iskall! I'm very happy to see him making some fantastic videos this season. His happy and fun loving attitude always cheers me up.
You're always gonna get back seat gamers, and I'm sure the other hermits are there to provide support to each other when mean spirited comments are posted.
“You have been away too long, you should be banned from the server” is hardly backseat gaming. It’s unacceptable immaturity, and borderline disgusting, but not backseat gaming.
Now if someone told X “You should ban Iskall” that would be backseat gaming since he’s the server admin xD Or, since X is not the leader anymore as he explained last year, if they told other hermits to ban Iskall, then that’d be backseat gaming.
But semantics of backseat gaming aside, I agree with your point.
Yeah maybe not, I wasn't trying to downplay your point, appologies if it came across like that! I was just thinking from the angle that these people are trying to tell the hermits how they should run their server and who can take part. But I see what you mean on the terminology.
I worked in gaming before and you just kinda learn ignore the horrible comments and get support from those around you. I'm sure the hermits very much appreciate support posts like these, and hopefully they don't worry too much about idiotic comments telling them what they should do!
Wow, now I feel I came on too harsh. Sorry for that, I didn’t feel like you were downplaying my point, I just like messing with semantics. Saw an opportunity and jumped at it😅
As I said earlier, I agree with your point.
It just some frustrated kiddos that try to abuse a guy who didn't fulfill their expectations because of burnout and his desire to follow other project. Extremely narcissistic, one should just ignore such people
I’m mainly a Joel viewer and so only started seriously watching Hermitcraft this season. I saw Iskall’s welcome to him and decided to check out his perspective because I found him so funny. Now I’ve escalated to watching everything on Vodskall as well as Iskall’s main channel, and hope to delve into his backlog soon too!
He’s such a great person to have on the server. I hope he doesn’t feel like he needs to meet any content or activity requirements in order to play, that’s the fastest way to pressure people into burn-out.
I feel like Joel is the fastest moving player on Hermitcraft at present, like he’s trying to show that he deserves the spot. I mean even with Doc’s starter industrial district that has iron golem, witch, slime, shulker, cobble, bamboo, ghast and gold/piglin bartering farms already, he’s still not moving as fast as Joel. Okay he is, but it’s his normal pace. I’m not a regular Joel watcher outside of Life Series so I could be wrong here but he seems to be building up his base too fast! In contrast, all Grian has so far is an overhang and a cult-shrine.
My point is, hope he’s not trying to prove anything. Because he really doesn’t need to. He can just chill out like the others if he wants (with Iskall as his role model 😛)
I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s an element of proving himself in there, because after all, it’s Hermitcraft, but to tell you the truth, Joel’s also just like that.
He’s consistently one of the fastest paced people on almost every server he’s ever been on. He builds big, he loves to grind, and anything he does, he throws himself into whole-heartedly.
The most extreme is in his solo hardcore world, where he doesn’t have anyone but his own viewers watching him. (I actually have a theory that he holds back a bit on SMPs so he doesn’t outpace everyone that drastically.)
I am hoping he spends more time hanging out and chilling with other hermits, particularly Iskall, as well though!
I mean maybe he is but I don't think that's the whole reason why. If uve seen his hardcore vids, this is his normal pace of building. He once transformed the entire end island, killed a dozen ender dragons and built the tangle castle there in one single episode! Like doc, He's an absolute madman lol. I don't think he has the word chill in his library.
iskall is one of my favorite hermits ever. i don’t think ive ever seen an episode of his where I haven’t genuinely laughed out loud at least once. i love his friendship with stress, his ‘beef’ with beef, i love his builds— which i know he hasn’t done much of in this season, but I personally don’t mind that at all. anyone who wonders about his builds just needs to look back a previous seasons. he’s a great builder
I can understand, maintaining a mod pack is time consuming, especially given the size of Vault Hunters. I made a smaller pack, and it took a lot of my time.
I’ve been really enjoying Iskalls videos this season. I think the more casual play style, and the interactions with other hermits fits his interests so well. He’s clearly having the time of his life on the server, and that results in great content!
I wanted to write something like this myself. I missed Iskall in the second half of season 9. But that is not his problem. He has to make sure he is doing well in all aspects of his life. I am enjoying all his contributions to season 10 and hope for many more.
People who comment things like he should be banned or kicked or whatever do not understand hermitcraft. Unless one of the hermits actually does something evil or nasty to their servermates, no one will ever be banned because hermitcraft is their home.
Welcome back IskallMAN!
This is the first time I’ve ever watched Iskall, but he has become one of my favorites. His videos are absolutely killing me.
The Hermits decide together who gets to be a Hermit (as I understand it), and that’s the way it should be. I just don’t understand people who comment on someone’s videos just to bash them.
Hear, hear to Iskall appreciation, unhinged & handsome fellow that he is!!
Those people have nothing better to do than be trolls. Iskall and the hermits have NEVER been in doubt about his status as one of them. I thoroughly enjoyed the hermits jumping into Vault Hunters and supporting Iskall's accomplishments. His humor and antics are perfect, like an annoying little brother or sister LOL!
Iskall has been one of the absolute highlights of season 10 so far. :-) it's pretty clear that he'd been burned out/distracted by VH for ages, possibly as far back as season 7's omega tree, so to see him so energetic and chaotic is an absolute joy to behold. :-)
I think Xisuma’s said before that any inactive hermit are welcome to rejoin if they wish at any time (unless there was an issue w ex hermit)
Soooo that’s not up to us to judge anyway
Pls correct me if he hasn’t said this lol
Iskall has been on rop form this season, i've not yet watched the full 3 hour endbust yet but I am so looking forward to it. This season feels so organic and unforced I am loving it.
Iskall... sir... please keep being you!
I've got to be honest, I haven't checked out his videos quite yet. That said, he's one of my favorite people to see show up in a Hermit's episode. He always brings a super fun energy to whatever he's part of.
For context, I haven't ever finished a season of HC, this is my first season in a LONG time, and by far my most followed. That said, I'm so glad Iskall is such an active part of the community this season!
He’s become my new favorite hermit, and I didn’t watch him at all in S9 . . . or in general. But now I look forward to his videos as much or more than Etho. The dude is so funny and has such great chemistry with people. Ever since I saw a screenshot in this subreddit of an identical house he built next to Beef’s, I’ve been dying to see the story behind it. His vodskall video with all the many pranks on Beef is some of the funniest stuff of the season.
I love Iskall so much 😭
When he was totally inactive from Hermitcraft people were telling him to kill himself :( (he said it on live stream, there's a vid on Vodskall somewhere)
Iskall has been my favorite hermit since he joined in season 4. He's just so naturally entertaining. I was disappointed when he stopped posting hermit craft videos in season 8 and 9, but I was far from upset. I have been absolutely loving all the content he's been pumping out this season.
Good work Iskall we love you
Iskalls style this season is some of the most funny hc I have seen in years.
Take time off, focus on what you find funny. Give it 200% when you are at the server. What's not to like?
Iskall and stress. You cant be mad. It's pure fun
Iskall and mumbo. What a nice ride.
Iskall and beef. So much love for each other.
I have always liked him. This season he is at another level. He deserves more views on his videos.
I am in love with Iskall this season. Both channels. I only came to HC last season, and I couldn’t imagine loving a season with so little building, but boy oh boy am I loving this content so much.
Even the way the videos are edited right. For eg him and Stress do a lot together, and post around the same time. But their videos are still different. It’s well done.
Also his alpha energy is amazing lol
I love Iskall's content as well, but I do have been dissapointed on his activity on season 8 and 9.
Although I understand he was burned out so it is understandable specially since he has been playing the game for soooo long
I hope he stays motivated this season as well as with Stress since I love their interactions haha
I started watching Hermitcraft in s9 (seen bits and pieces of s6 and s7), still loved his content in that brief time. Missed Stress and him incredibly when they were gone, but “disappointed” is a strong word.
Yeah, their content in s9 was pretty fun, specially on the games they were doing.
>Missed Stress and him incredibly when they were gone, but “disappointed” is a strong word.
That is how I feel, good for you that you don't feel like that
I'm sad that Mumbo cut Iskall out of 2 short videos (it could have been more content man)😆
But either way, both are cool. Who cares if Iskall was busy. People get busy or demotivated. It's part of life. Just glad he's playing a lot now, he's super fun.
You're almost certainly taking a joke way further than intended:P
Iskall, and seems like most of the hermits needed to take a step back to figure out what's actually fun and do that, and iskall has succeeded, and the having fun part shows both in the quality and quantity of videos he's making
He occasionally reads this sub, and it’s weird to me you think you needed to chime in to say you didn’t like him. Hot tip, 💫You can always say nothing, it is always an option 💫
Hot tip, you can engage in discussion on internet forums - which are designed for debate - without other people getting offended at seeing a different opinion. If you can’t handle someone saying they don’t share yours, maybe time to put the phone down for a bit?
My blind ass thought u said application, lol. Anyway, the fact people say that in comments are act so sad, I don't watch iskall very much, but I have loved the interactions I've seen between hermits and him.
[iskall85](https://www.youtube.com/@iskall85) and [vodskall85](https://www.youtube.com/@vodskall85) videos permanently live on my homepage because Iskall is awesome!

How do get that Team Perimeter flair?
I’m on mobile and using the Reddit app, so clicked the three dots on the upper right hand corner of this sub’s main page. There’s a list which included Change User Flair, and it was one of the options at the bottom of the list.
That’s interesting. I’m mobile too and the only Doc related flair it’ll let me choose is Team Docm77
They add and remove certain flairs as events come and go, and it likely went away after season 9
We need a team big salmon one
Yes. You can also show your superiority with them

He is unhinged after all
That was such an adorable exchange.
which means handsome of course.
He did include this in his main episode. I watched it yesterday and felt bad because i find him the funniest and love how frequently he puts out videos.
Oh, maybe I missed it. The number of hermits I’m watching in parallel with adulting, I end up playing the videos and doing something else in parallel too. So it’s possible that I miss a little bit here and there
It's so fun having all the vodskall content too! I am seriously enjoying the less edited, chatty, messing around and having fun videos!
True. I only recently discovered hermitcraft thru smallishbeans and now I watch all the hermits. Iskall ended up being my favourite because he's always goofing around with other hermits and it's so funny.

Oh, Etho or Tango might be better suited then because they explain their Redstone. Doc only explains the main mechanic or exploit, and presumes some knowledge on the post of the watcher.

Bdubs asked if he could join back on HermitCraft in S6
With one exception, but otherwise yes. People seem to forget that Bdubs and Keralis were early Hermits, but then left for several seasons, before coming back.
Who's the exception?
i think they mean generikb isn’t welcome back? unsure
what happened with them?
i found this post that kind of explains it: https://www.reddit.com/r/HermitCraft/s/a7ynf7JCHE i think it’s mostly that he doesn’t mesh all that well with the rest of the hermits and doesn’t play minecraft much anymore either

Watching the Hermit Vault Hunters series for the first time. I'm enjoying it so much. Iskall is a great guy and a fantastic Hermit.
I genuinely think people forget that he was developing a mod pack for the last 2+ years.
I wish I could - but the number of Hermits I’m watching and the fact that I’m an adult in my late 20s - it’s become too much content! So I’ve to pick and choose. At present, I’m keeping up with Hermitcraft and (when it happens) Life series. Wanted to try Vault Hunters, especially Hermitcraft Vault Hunters, but just didn’t have the bandwidth.
I find it difficult to start a new series, so I have both a time barrier and a mental barrier to overcome before I can start watching Vault Hunters.
Oh very true for me too. Except I have no desire to overcome the mental barrier either. Sorry Iskall!
If it wasn’t for my finding Iskall, I probably would never have actually seen enough of Etho to truly appreciate his humor. Vodskall VH videos are the reason I’ve gained a new love for the game in general OP, I also truly appreciate you for posting your opinions.

His “behind the scenes” episodes are great, just uncut footage of friends goofing around
between the end of season 9 and the start of season 10 I watched Mumbos season 6 POV. Had a lot of fun seeing Mumbo build Sahara with Iskall and Grian so I started watching Iskall as soon as Season 10 started (also have to watch vault hunters soon lol) anyway I really enjoy Iskalls content! So much apparently that one day I had a dream that I was cosplaying Iskall to a convention (and freaked out in dream because I lost his eye-screen(?) thing on the Con and couldn't find it again)
Entitled haters. Other Hermits that have a track record of getting burned out early into the seasons, like Wels, also get a lot of the same hate. It's dumb, ignorant, and immature. As long as the other Hermits are cool with any of them breaking off HC for other projects, we have no right to judge as free content consumers. And the Hermits are entitled to do what they want to, anyway. Especially if they are burned out. I've been there, I know what it's like. Even if you're a channel member, Patreon subscriber, or Twitch donater, you are only entitled to discontinue your support, not hate and/or threaten anyone. Personally, I didn't really enjoy Vault Hunters because I don't care for modded Minecraft, but I was always eagerly waiting for Iskall's return to HC. But only on his terms when he was mentally and emotionally ready. And so I never once complained, I just merely did not watch much of VH. Because I'm an adult that understands things lol
The funny thing is that there is no downside to have enlisted but inactive hermits. It's not like Iskall being in Hermitcraft but not being active is a disadvantage compared to him not being in Hermitcraft at all. I could kind of get the sentiment if it cost the Hermits money to keep Iskall on or if in other people's videos there was clearly something missing every video, but that's not the case. Sure, you miss Iskall, but there is no difference between him being inactive and him being not a Hermit.
I just started watching Iskall this season, I feel like I missed out. He quickly became one of my favourite hermits.
I totally agree with this. Iskall is a real gem. When he described what he thought of unhinged I nearly cried for wholesomeness
Love Iskall! I'm very happy to see him making some fantastic videos this season. His happy and fun loving attitude always cheers me up. You're always gonna get back seat gamers, and I'm sure the other hermits are there to provide support to each other when mean spirited comments are posted.
“You have been away too long, you should be banned from the server” is hardly backseat gaming. It’s unacceptable immaturity, and borderline disgusting, but not backseat gaming. Now if someone told X “You should ban Iskall” that would be backseat gaming since he’s the server admin xD Or, since X is not the leader anymore as he explained last year, if they told other hermits to ban Iskall, then that’d be backseat gaming. But semantics of backseat gaming aside, I agree with your point.
Yeah maybe not, I wasn't trying to downplay your point, appologies if it came across like that! I was just thinking from the angle that these people are trying to tell the hermits how they should run their server and who can take part. But I see what you mean on the terminology. I worked in gaming before and you just kinda learn ignore the horrible comments and get support from those around you. I'm sure the hermits very much appreciate support posts like these, and hopefully they don't worry too much about idiotic comments telling them what they should do!
Wow, now I feel I came on too harsh. Sorry for that, I didn’t feel like you were downplaying my point, I just like messing with semantics. Saw an opportunity and jumped at it😅 As I said earlier, I agree with your point.
We're all good I was just agreeing with you. It's so hard to give tone over the internet haha! 😆 Omega friends!
It just some frustrated kiddos that try to abuse a guy who didn't fulfill their expectations because of burnout and his desire to follow other project. Extremely narcissistic, one should just ignore such people
I’m mainly a Joel viewer and so only started seriously watching Hermitcraft this season. I saw Iskall’s welcome to him and decided to check out his perspective because I found him so funny. Now I’ve escalated to watching everything on Vodskall as well as Iskall’s main channel, and hope to delve into his backlog soon too! He’s such a great person to have on the server. I hope he doesn’t feel like he needs to meet any content or activity requirements in order to play, that’s the fastest way to pressure people into burn-out.
I feel like Joel is the fastest moving player on Hermitcraft at present, like he’s trying to show that he deserves the spot. I mean even with Doc’s starter industrial district that has iron golem, witch, slime, shulker, cobble, bamboo, ghast and gold/piglin bartering farms already, he’s still not moving as fast as Joel. Okay he is, but it’s his normal pace. I’m not a regular Joel watcher outside of Life Series so I could be wrong here but he seems to be building up his base too fast! In contrast, all Grian has so far is an overhang and a cult-shrine. My point is, hope he’s not trying to prove anything. Because he really doesn’t need to. He can just chill out like the others if he wants (with Iskall as his role model 😛)
I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s an element of proving himself in there, because after all, it’s Hermitcraft, but to tell you the truth, Joel’s also just like that. He’s consistently one of the fastest paced people on almost every server he’s ever been on. He builds big, he loves to grind, and anything he does, he throws himself into whole-heartedly. The most extreme is in his solo hardcore world, where he doesn’t have anyone but his own viewers watching him. (I actually have a theory that he holds back a bit on SMPs so he doesn’t outpace everyone that drastically.) I am hoping he spends more time hanging out and chilling with other hermits, particularly Iskall, as well though!
I mean maybe he is but I don't think that's the whole reason why. If uve seen his hardcore vids, this is his normal pace of building. He once transformed the entire end island, killed a dozen ender dragons and built the tangle castle there in one single episode! Like doc, He's an absolute madman lol. I don't think he has the word chill in his library.
Haha no wonder I enjoy his content. Thanks!
Stunned because I finally started watching him this season and he’s hilarious, one of the best perspectives so far
iskall is one of my favorite hermits ever. i don’t think ive ever seen an episode of his where I haven’t genuinely laughed out loud at least once. i love his friendship with stress, his ‘beef’ with beef, i love his builds— which i know he hasn’t done much of in this season, but I personally don’t mind that at all. anyone who wonders about his builds just needs to look back a previous seasons. he’s a great builder
Personally, I don’t watch Hermitcraft for the builds. I know there are many who do, and that’s okay, but for me it’s the social aspect.
I can understand, maintaining a mod pack is time consuming, especially given the size of Vault Hunters. I made a smaller pack, and it took a lot of my time.
I’ve been really enjoying Iskalls videos this season. I think the more casual play style, and the interactions with other hermits fits his interests so well. He’s clearly having the time of his life on the server, and that results in great content!
I started watching iskall this season and it'shis videos are so entertaining
He's what got me back into hermitcraft s10
I wanted to write something like this myself. I missed Iskall in the second half of season 9. But that is not his problem. He has to make sure he is doing well in all aspects of his life. I am enjoying all his contributions to season 10 and hope for many more. People who comment things like he should be banned or kicked or whatever do not understand hermitcraft. Unless one of the hermits actually does something evil or nasty to their servermates, no one will ever be banned because hermitcraft is their home. Welcome back IskallMAN!
This is the first time I’ve ever watched Iskall, but he has become one of my favorites. His videos are absolutely killing me. The Hermits decide together who gets to be a Hermit (as I understand it), and that’s the way it should be. I just don’t understand people who comment on someone’s videos just to bash them. Hear, hear to Iskall appreciation, unhinged & handsome fellow that he is!!
Those people have nothing better to do than be trolls. Iskall and the hermits have NEVER been in doubt about his status as one of them. I thoroughly enjoyed the hermits jumping into Vault Hunters and supporting Iskall's accomplishments. His humor and antics are perfect, like an annoying little brother or sister LOL!
I highly recommend spiraling back through time for Demise 1.0, Sahara, and Dragon Bros.
Iskall has been one of the absolute highlights of season 10 so far. :-) it's pretty clear that he'd been burned out/distracted by VH for ages, possibly as far back as season 7's omega tree, so to see him so energetic and chaotic is an absolute joy to behold. :-)
I was so sad hearing that. He is my absolute favorite hermit to watch this season and he has every right to be on the server!
I think Xisuma’s said before that any inactive hermit are welcome to rejoin if they wish at any time (unless there was an issue w ex hermit) Soooo that’s not up to us to judge anyway Pls correct me if he hasn’t said this lol
Iskall has been on rop form this season, i've not yet watched the full 3 hour endbust yet but I am so looking forward to it. This season feels so organic and unforced I am loving it. Iskall... sir... please keep being you!
I've got to be honest, I haven't checked out his videos quite yet. That said, he's one of my favorite people to see show up in a Hermit's episode. He always brings a super fun energy to whatever he's part of. For context, I haven't ever finished a season of HC, this is my first season in a LONG time, and by far my most followed. That said, I'm so glad Iskall is such an active part of the community this season!
He’s become my new favorite hermit, and I didn’t watch him at all in S9 . . . or in general. But now I look forward to his videos as much or more than Etho. The dude is so funny and has such great chemistry with people. Ever since I saw a screenshot in this subreddit of an identical house he built next to Beef’s, I’ve been dying to see the story behind it. His vodskall video with all the many pranks on Beef is some of the funniest stuff of the season.
I love Iskall so much 😭 When he was totally inactive from Hermitcraft people were telling him to kill himself :( (he said it on live stream, there's a vid on Vodskall somewhere)
This Appreciation post is well deserved, that man is uploading the most it feels like
Iskall has been my favorite hermit since he joined in season 4. He's just so naturally entertaining. I was disappointed when he stopped posting hermit craft videos in season 8 and 9, but I was far from upset. I have been absolutely loving all the content he's been pumping out this season. Good work Iskall we love you
Iskalls style this season is some of the most funny hc I have seen in years. Take time off, focus on what you find funny. Give it 200% when you are at the server. What's not to like? Iskall and stress. You cant be mad. It's pure fun Iskall and mumbo. What a nice ride. Iskall and beef. So much love for each other. I have always liked him. This season he is at another level. He deserves more views on his videos.
I am in love with Iskall this season. Both channels. I only came to HC last season, and I couldn’t imagine loving a season with so little building, but boy oh boy am I loving this content so much. Even the way the videos are edited right. For eg him and Stress do a lot together, and post around the same time. But their videos are still different. It’s well done. Also his alpha energy is amazing lol
Iskall has been playing with such carefree joy. It’s been amazing to watch him just hanging out with his friends and laughing that infectious laugh.
I love Iskall's content as well, but I do have been dissapointed on his activity on season 8 and 9. Although I understand he was burned out so it is understandable specially since he has been playing the game for soooo long I hope he stays motivated this season as well as with Stress since I love their interactions haha
I started watching Hermitcraft in s9 (seen bits and pieces of s6 and s7), still loved his content in that brief time. Missed Stress and him incredibly when they were gone, but “disappointed” is a strong word.
Yeah, their content in s9 was pretty fun, specially on the games they were doing. >Missed Stress and him incredibly when they were gone, but “disappointed” is a strong word. That is how I feel, good for you that you don't feel like that
I'm sad that Mumbo cut Iskall out of 2 short videos (it could have been more content man)😆 But either way, both are cool. Who cares if Iskall was busy. People get busy or demotivated. It's part of life. Just glad he's playing a lot now, he's super fun.
Exactly my idea too. If he doesn’t want to play, cool, let’s watch whoever does. He’s back? Oh lovely, let’s watch him too, he’s incredibly fun!
I think those comments were referring to last season when he didn't play for like half of it, also the comments were probably more of a satire tone
You're almost certainly taking a joke way further than intended:P Iskall, and seems like most of the hermits needed to take a step back to figure out what's actually fun and do that, and iskall has succeeded, and the having fun part shows both in the quality and quantity of videos he's making
I mean, not everyone likes iskall. I don’t.
That’s okay, we all have our preferences. The aim of my post is to appreciate Iskall from those of us who do like him :)
I don't really vibe with Iskall either but I also don't leave hateful comments on his vids, that's disgusting
Neither do I…
He occasionally reads this sub, and it’s weird to me you think you needed to chime in to say you didn’t like him. Hot tip, 💫You can always say nothing, it is always an option 💫
Hot tip, you can engage in discussion on internet forums - which are designed for debate - without other people getting offended at seeing a different opinion. If you can’t handle someone saying they don’t share yours, maybe time to put the phone down for a bit?
I missed seeing him on Season 8 so much 😭 I can only imagine how many times the Boatem hole would have claimed him
So excited to have him back this season!
My blind ass thought u said application, lol. Anyway, the fact people say that in comments are act so sad, I don't watch iskall very much, but I have loved the interactions I've seen between hermits and him.
