"they're for your secret soulmate" the poison in that sentence made me forget for just a second that this is a minecraft server that they're playing on for fun
Scar's delivery of that line was raw as hell, too. Like he's generally behaves like a happy friendly guy, so it's so powerful when he decides to be serious.
The fact that Scar's survived until this episode is a great achievement. He died twice, nearly three, in a single episode is an even greater achievement
Next series: Timmy's Life. It's just like 3rd Life, but when Timmy dies, the entire server goes down with him. So rather than competing to see who can survive the longest, it's just everyone trying to protect Timmy.
Scar: gives grian cookies Grian: how did you get these? Scar: I made them. They're for your "SeCrET SoUlmaTe" Grian: ...I don't know what your talking about
A "Scar No!" moment was to be expected but I'm still surprised how long they lasted as a green compared to... everyone else (We won't talk about how long they lasted as yellow)
I just adore how at 20:56, after Joel and Etho have been angry at Grian for so long, the three of them can just laugh about how Grian is babysitting Scar, just like in the first episode
@@NoNameEst1992 It's not the kill with the stalactite itself that's impressive, it's the timing. Seems you haven't paid enough attention to the kill. It was literally perfect, if Ren had stopped running for a tenth of a second, or hadn't hit the ledge when running, he wouldn't have died. The timing of Grian breaking the support is literally perfect.
@@Bruno.GCF05 LOL yes I was paying attention Mr condescending but it was sheer luck, he didn't calculate where ren was and predict that it would hit him. He took a chance and just broke it after seeing ren below him. As I said I'm not saying it wasn't a good kill but it wasn't "skillful" it was just luck, he broke it and ren happened to go underneath. Scar had to use skill to perfectly time the bucket whilst in a rush and panic after falling from a great height. Big difference
@@NoNameEst1992 It was about being impressive not skillful the kill itself was impressive with the fact it was timed so perfect out of sheer luck was extremely impressive and if you don't think it was that's your opinion but to most watching this video it was an extremely impressive move that would most likely not happen again.
This is such a good example of Chekov's Gun. You had the set up at the beginning of the video, finding out how deadly Dripstone is, then in the climax, it all paid off when you used it.
Ironically, Scar foreshadowed the episode in the first ten seconds; nearly dying twice, and showcasing the lethality of falling spikes when helmets aren't a thing
Hey grian! for the next series, how about call it afterlife, and have it be so that when a hermit dies three times they come back as a ghost that can't interact with anything in the world but can still communicate, and maybe some way that they could come back to life if they can for instance trick someone into going to a certain coordinate AKA a ritual site.
When everyone stared at the ship burning and paying reapects to tango and jimmy with the music it was like the fighting stopped just for a moment and everyone agreed that it was the right thing to do to watch etho and joel suffer. Great episode!!
Perfectly balanced, dropping a stalactite on scar to start, him casually mentioning bb being ur secret soulmate, Grian kiilling bb at the end...... A tragic lovestory :' )
Idea: "Shrink life Uses third life system (or last life system, either works), but map starts extremely large, then shrinks each time that somebody dies. As the series progresses, the map gets smaller and smaller as people die, meaning people encounter each other more, leading to exponentially more chaos toward the end of the series, as resources continue to deplete due to the shrinking of the map. This would also allow for people to have more opportunities to get lots of resources at the beginning of the game (to make getting good gear easier), and for extra conflict to occur with whoever controls the center of the map, as they would have an advantage at the end of the game.
Grian's last Hermitcraft video: "I have never been hurt digging straight down and I'll keep digging down until I get hurt." Double Life: Scar digs straight down into a pit of zombies.
Tbh I thought it was a good idea IF they had executed it right. Surrounded by player enemies, they had a great opportunity to seek the mob hoarde and then unleash it on their pursuers while they escape, Scar falling in was the slip up that bent it for them lol, it would have been epic if the red names came down to just be flooded with zombies as Scar and Grian tunnel out the other side of the hole bocking themselves in and leaving the reds to deal with the mobs. But it's Scar and Grian so they had to mess it up XD still epic to think about if it had worked in their favor.
I've been a big fan since the barge times, and recently become hearing impaired, I've found subtitles very helpful for watching content on youtube, but the effort put into the subtilties on this video made my experience amazing. Going from auto generated subtitles to color coordinated, labeled subtitles is night and day and I am so grateful for it, I thank you for the quality of your work, in all it's aspects.
I just realized that this is the second time Grian has named an episode “Uh Oh” in this series. I do suppose it works because he gets down to red in both episodes, but it’s still strange.
7:31 This moment is so intimidating LOL Grian cowering and when he zooms in to Etho and Joel, they're just standing there... *menacingly* Those two are truly the most intimidating power duo of the server LOL I've said it before and I'll say it again
If I had a nickel for every time Grian killed BigB just because he was affiliated to RenDog I would have 2 nickels which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice.
My idea for next season: "Hidden Life" Everyone starts off with a range of 2-4 Lives, except for one who starts on 1. The twist is that everyone's lives are completely hidden from everyone else and they cannot be disclosed. This will likely cause a lot of drama as people are finished off sooner than expected, as well as likely to have people fake the red status to give themselves more leverage.
Funny how the last two times in the series, everyone tried their upmost to survive, but as soon as someone dies along with you, people almost and not almost kill themself all the time.
When the people who has the worst soulmate relationship are the last yellows, and the others who have pretty good relationship with their soulmates are red, then does that mean bad relationship is the way to survive?
I think, it's more of a despair on losing another life. When the last life is due, you instinctively switch sides. In my opinion, that's how survival works.
In this game, yeah, it's actually a good strategy. They can keep each other alive from a distance but are rarely in the same place, and their actual allies don't lose any hearts when they do, meaning they effectively have double health bars.
Random thought but what if the next series is called “Half life” where throughout the series you start with 20 hearts on green,15 on yellow and 10 on red, throughout the series/ the more damage you take your health slowly decays to half of the original value
After Grian said he and BigB were still secret soulmates, I almost expected the episode to end with Grian jumping off a cliff in solidarity, killing himself and Scar in the last seconds of the session.
@@saltyralts the "I" is about whether he will keep digging straight down, so this depends on what you interpret "it" to refer to. If it just means digging straight down, then technically that is what killed him here still.
In the next season of the "life series" you should have a designated graveyard at spawn. Everyone makes thier own gravestone at the beginning with a book and someone is elected "The Book Keeper" That players sole job is to note in everyones books when they die. So if Pearl got blown up by Tango. Even accidently. The Book Keeper has to write the death message in pearls book. Then the victor has to go to the graveyard once everyone is dead and reflect on thier actions that lead to this point. If nothing more than some story to this cool series.
Grian in the last few series: WHY DIDNT THE TRAP GO OFF?! WHY IS THE REDSTONE NOT WORKING! Grian in Double Life: Hehe spiky rock and sticky hook go brrr.
This series is crazy. I have never seen Ethoslab and tango stun silence before. I guess it just goes to show you that everyone may have a hidden Minecraft pro inside them even scar.
It was such great forshadowing at the begining when scar almost died to the dripstone for the kill at the end. Grian must have realized how powerfull it was when he took like 6 hearts from one dripstone.
Love that although Scar was the one who died it was pretty much Grian who got them to red - digging TOWARDS the zombie sounds and just going Oh, OK when Scar bounds off to an obvious trap! Epic episode Grian. Love you two.
"Wait, how did you get these cookies?" "I made them. They're for your 'secret soulmate'." "I don't know what you're talking about." *proceeds to indirectly kill said secret soulmate later in the episode*
the staples of every season; -jimmy dies first -"SCAR NO!" -grian and scar being somehow bonded together (not as much in last life though) -buff scar -scar going from green to red in one episode
A fourth staple - scar goes from green to red in a very short amount of time. If the staple holds he, and by extension grian will stick around for a good while still
Grian: 'but I was so caught up in the euphoria of my dripstone trap working, that for a moment I lived in a world where I didn't just kill BigB' Edit: 25:30 for that sick timing
let's be real, that zombie pit death was totally on Grian for hearing "sounds of death" and deciding to go closer, with Scar in tow, on the run lmao but also seeing scar completely fall for Etho's and Joel's silly TNT pile from afar was so funny THAT SCREAM WHEN IT WORKED OH MY GOD dripstone underrated
It's always interesting to see what parts each creator cuts out from the various pairs. If you guys usually only watch Grian I would definitely recommend watching Scar as well this week. There's bit of convo missing which gives greater context (like why exactly they went to the zombies, whose the better Sand dealer etc) and for those curious about Scar knowing about Big B there's a couple other things Scar does for Grian that obviously Grian can't show because he wasn't there but it's worth it from Scars POV. Scar's known about Big B for awhile now btw and has a mini alliance with Pearl (I think they still have it) on the basis of being rejected and that might have been one of the reasons she let them stay in the tower. It's why they so were so happy to be doing the cactus stuff.
@@amber8921 I normally start with etho and go from there, grian was a mandatory 2nd after that stalactite kill. (Mainly to see if Etho was a target, which he clearly was) I guess pearl is now number 3 to watch for this round. Its also fascinating to watch each soulmates perspective just to see the difference in what they choose to cut or keep, and what they do alone.
Its very interesting how each perspective gives a different context. Like, this series has a striking amount of dramatic irony to it, even compared to the other life series.' It seems like a lot of very careful editing helps this too. Watching each individual perspective you only get the information that that person has. But watch everybody and suddenly the full picture becomes clear and lots of sneaky little things start to pop up and become important.
This series progressed a lot quicker than I expected, it's the first of the Life series I've watched and I had no idea there would be so many reds and yellows by only episode 5
Idea for next season: "False Life", people are given between 2-6 lives, but also get to CHOOSE how many lives it displays they have. This way, people with fewer lives can pretend they have more to seem more powerful, and people with more can pretend to have less as to seem less threatening. You can trade lives. Once someone that chooses to seem to have less lives reaches 1 life, they will have 1 life until they actually die. And when people who choose to seem to have more lives reach 0 actual lives, they die. Another idea: Once someone dies, they can choose one other player with at least 2 lives and plead with them for 5 minutes about why they should give them one of their lives. Yet another idea: Make lives craftable with 4 diamonds, 2 gold ingots, 2 iron ingots, and 1 golden apple
@@battery_acidd I feel like that would make lives nearly unobtainable unless there was a village and pillager outpost and/or mansion in the region. So maybe a notch apple instead?
@@TheRoronoa_Zoro no one is supposed to know and there was no signs of anyone knowing or it being revealed and scar just knew and it was like those movie scenes where someone says something that makes the protagonist just freeze and stuff like that
Honestly my favorite moment is just Scott coming in and going "ARE YOU HARBORING REFUGEES PEARL?" I have no clue why it made me laugh as much as it did but oml
This episode/session is going to spawn so many animated clips. In Grians episode alone we have; -Grian almost killing Scar with dripstone -Pearl and Scar almost killing Scott and Grian with Cactus damage. -The Saluting to the RelationShip as it Burns down during the funeral -Scar and Grians death by Zombies -Scar and Grians death by TnT -Big B and Rens death The list can go on if we even count in everyone else's perspectives! This session was amazing.
my favourite part is how grian killed ren who he was jealous of for ages because ren was bigb's soulmate so he really went "if I can't have him... no one can"
My theory is that next season will be something like Random Life, where every player is paired with someone new for every session. It would make allies really hard to come by because you'd constantly have to turn against them.
I think either something like that or a style where the players are split up into two or more Bigger groups, so there’s larger alliances than just the usual two/three people
I kind of want to see the next life series similar to Double Life, But each session you are assigned a different partner. It would be quite interesting for them to make enemies only to realise next session they may or may not be soul bound to each other-
@@ProfSnowy Thanks, I especially like the fact that when it switches both people also may have a different number of lives so a green life could be soul bound with a red life, which would increase tensions a whole lot more since it forces the red life to have to protect their green soul bound from other reds to prevent their series from ending.
