Right? It's great. All the "characters"' actions have very real consequences and nothing is guaranteed, and yet Todd is also somehow able to spin it into a great narrative with pacing and foreshadowing and all the things you'd expect from written media. It's the best of both worlds and I love it so much.
I love how PBG always casts himself as "the archer" and then never fires an arrow in combat situations. I think the only time he used his bow in this episode was to make ASMR noises. I guess to be fair when you have a shield and a diamond sword the bow is kinda unnecessary.
"She seemed like she had it under control" I guess PBG as never watched a Lucahjin let's play. When she's at her most confident is usually when things are about to go bad.
Everyone say “thank you Todd” for teaching Jirard how to fight properly so it doesn’t continue to be a problem for the remainer of the season Thank you Todd
Spoiler. I knew that someone would die in the nether. The way the season has been going, I doubt the rest of them might make it. Lucah was one of the hardest working survivors in the group. She was a teacher, a protector of all, and most importantly, some of the glue that held the group together. Terrible way to go in a hard-core survival.
I agree, the nether has been a harsh place ever since the 1.16 update. Not only are there far more enemies, but actually finding the nether fortress is insanely, unfairly difficult. I doubt even one of them will survive the new nether.

@@sweetwheatsy I know! One time I went into a bastion with a friend, and a magma cube just MELTED my shield and almost killed both my friend and I! Crazy stuff!
(Spoilers) They literally just stepped into the nether and someone is already dead… I’ve got a bad feeling about this Rip to Lucah :( she was my favorite
Blocking off that pouring lava was clutch, handling it wrong could have killed people. Though I was nervous at the the repair job, I wouldn’t have been confident enough to place blocks near flowing lava.
Todd's notes are by far the best part of this season. [SPOILERS BELOW] Also RIP Lucah. Although everyone this season seems to be wrong about most aspects of Minecraft, she was occasionally the least wrong about some things maybe.
I'm glad I caught this. I wish RUclips had a better way for video reuploads, since I miss subscription videos and get confused when new videos have a "private video" thing in my queue.
These series are so addicting. Has me rewatching each one several times over. Peebs got me in stitches with the ASMR thingy. (spoilers below. be warned if folding open to read more) This is one of the scariest spawn areas for sure. Getting a dig like Shane had at the start. His level-headedness saving the day. That magma cube though. I knew safety tunnels here were allways a great idea. Poor Lucah. Too soon have you left.
Lucajin was the sunshine of this group. She never got angry and was always patient with her mates. With her passing, my interest for the show passes with her. I will never know the end of this series as my heart has already became num. Lucajin, where ever you are, you will be remembered and sorely missed. We love you.
@@jay-leebusque-blackburn6747 He was, but no-one actually seemed too bummed out about it for that long. With Lucah, Jon feels bad because she's his wife, and Peebs feels guilty for legging it out of there.
Wow. That Nether doesn't look like the Nether at all (I haven't played in a few years). It looks like some new volcanic brimstone world. Also PBG literally did nothing wrong, I was screaming for him to run away. What good would it be if we lost him too?
In case anyone is confused what all these comments are on about: This video was initially uploaded with the intro containing lucahjins dead icon. It was then removed, fixed and reuploaded. Only a few of us chosen ones saw it.
I'm pretty sure they keep spawning their portal at lava lake level because they are just at sea level in the overworld with their portals; and it's always a basalt delta because they really aren't ever going that far when they made a new portal.
Spoilers: R.I.P Lucahjin Dang it Lucah I wanted you to go farther than that Poor Jon too Man I'm really worried about the Nether because I feel like so many people will die here (as per usual)
The best thing to do with these videos is not look at any comments at all until you've watched it. Having a main comment like "NOBODY SAY ANYTHING" almost certainly confirms that someone will die precisely because it seems to correlate to the concept of not revealing something, ironically then spoiling the fact - therefore don't look at all. It does rather imply that the deaths are the crucial aspect, which they may be, but really, in a great Hardcore (i.e. Minez, the best by far forever), the deaths just push the pace along more, they aren't always the key aspect, just a dramatic way of getting things moving a little more.
hey gamers in the basalt biome (where they are now) there are little one block wide drops in some parts of the land formation and i really hope no one falls through one of them and goes to lava (it’s happened to me a few times)
They lost the one that knows the most and the one that's the most perceptive, now to watch them stumble around unknowing of the potential danger that awaits...
NOBODY SAY ANYTHING
I WILL SAY THINGS
got it chief!

TO BE FAIR..........
I was just trying to cook my steak.
Aw Lucah don't worry we all still love you...
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
😢
You protected your teammates until the very end, well done, Lucah. ^-^
Well, a monster like that probably cooked it real easily... *but at what cost??*
i love this series because its like a TV show where none of the characters have "plot armor"

ah yes the archer. Master of swords and ASMR
And whenever he does actually use the bow, he ends up either completely missing the shot or shoots one of his friends on accident.
a bow really would have just put him in more danger here with his shield not up
PBG got his idea of how Archers work from the Fate Series.
it's my favorite unintentional gag in the series
"She seemed like she had it under control" I guess PBG as never watched a Lucahjin let's play. When she's at her most confident is usually when things are about to go bad.

advice for the next hardcore: in warped forests have a lot more enderman spawn, so hunting endermen in the overworld could be avoided

@@kiilgore806 oh wait you're right my mistake there was absolutely no error, that would be ridiculous!

wow, new nether looks rad, I haven't played in a while apparently
Hey, A totally normal new episode! Glad I didn't miss an episode!

Nice use of Chrono Cross music, you don't hear enough of the music from that game - it's amazing.
I'm loving the music choice for this series, especially the Flatlands music from Octopath Traveler in this episode 👍
I always like the Final Fantasy Tactics music that's been used throughout the seasons, but hearing some Octopath in this episode was a nice surprise.
I feel like the entire group is so screwed haha
man proton jon is really good at running away lmfao
And this is why you avoid magma cubes they are not worth fighting against
Editor said “Let’s go for despair this episode.”
Remember when Shane said they should enchant before going to the Nether
They were so terrified of the striders that they never thought about pig and hoglind
Okay. Whoever is picking the music is a god. So many FFT tracks, and now Octopath? Hell yes.
Despite *SPOILERS* I can’t contain my elation of hearing some gorgeous Octopath Traveler OST in this episode.
Jesus, those slimes are brutal. Is this the first time Jon outlived Reese? This is a bad omen.

Minecraft ASMR? Season 4 flashback forreal
they still haven't left, and I'm pretty sure I heard a ghast just then, they're not out of the -woods- nether yet

At least Fred has company now.
