Hermits in Stratos?!?! | Empires S2 | Ep. 22 

10:31 "Andy's coming" I love that everyone immediately froze and it took Jimmy a second to realize he froze too- best coordinated teamwork ever

Watching both Grian and Scar fall at Upper Stratos was my favorite part.

I love it how Joel is just straight up saying everything, no acting, no role play no lore

I like how everyone else was pretending to not know the hermits and there's joel just casually talking about other series with scar 🤣

I’m honestly not surprised that Joel got put with Grian and scar for a bit.

Joel is like a kid in a candy store but the candy is lore 😂

This is probably gonna be Joel and Grian's way of getting back at Scar for putting them through Enderman nightmares in the 100 hours world, lol

I was expecting at least one person to fall off Stratos, and I was laughing so hard when Grian and Scar did LOL

ive been both a hermitcraft and empires fan for so long 😭 this makes me so happy

I actually can't wait for Cleo to meet Hermes! The mistress of armour stands herself might have something to say about such a wonderful little armour stand child! Also, love all the LORE happening to bring these two amazing SMPs together hehe

I love how the hermits react to the lore it’s so funny

The Andy Statue peeking over the wall is a great idea. An Attack on Andy theme.

I was hoping for more SmallEtho shenanigans but this is even better!!!

I love how one of the first things Joel does when he gets guests in his Empire is to hook them up with some contraband toys 👌✨

The fact that the build up was so immersed in lore but the actual interactions are like: "We did this through lore" and "I'm in your smp now!!!" and "If you break it, it's just glass."

“one-night armor stand” made me squawk. You’ve been my main POV for empires so far, Joel, and I’ll never pass up an opportunity to see you and the hermits interact! What an exciting crossover!

This is literally the collab we didn’t know we NEEDED

Not even 5 minutes into the video and Joel already kills Scar. Very fitting

You should totally make a pantheon for the “blood god” and name it after techno!

Scar definetely missed out on asking Joel and Sausage if their child is either called Mythical-beans or Smallish-sausage

I have been waiting for this for a long time and I am so glad to see Joel be so excited with this lore

I already know I’m gonna be up all night watching everyone’s povs

When Grian said 'with the power of lore' (9:22) I really expected Joel to scream 'tHe PoWeR oF cHrIsT cOmPeLs YoU!'

The fact this went from “lore” to just old friends and new is so wholesome

Joel geeking out over the possibilities with the Hermits in Empires, basically just being a fandom nerd like the rest of us, is sooooo cute. Can't wait for more LORE! 😂

The entire thing was like a birthday party, all his friends came over and left a mess

9:16 jimmy : joel, take that off. joel : *actually takes it off I WAS SURPRISED

YES!!! PLEASE MAKE TOYS OF THE HERMITS!!!! They already got so attached to the easter egg version of them months ago, I'm sure they'd love the toy versions of them here! But this is so good! I'm so excited to see the shenanigans of what having the hermits around is like and it makes me so giddy to see everyone together and having fun!! Also ngl you giving Scar the more damaged elytra compared to Grian gave me 100 hours hardcore flashbacks oh jeez Anyways!!! Lore!!! Love it!!! Looking forward to see more of it!!

“It’s not gonna be as big as LAST SEASONS palace” The memories, the memories….

all I’m saying is that this is gonna be exciting while being chaotic- the biggest multiverse of all time?! with my two favorite series, the possibilities are endless!

Having the 100 hours trio back is amazing

5:06 They were not worthy

I’m so glad this crossover happened

The trio is back baby, Grian, Joel, and Scar!! Iconic

A Hermitcraft And Empires Crossover Is The Crossover Of My Dreams

8:27 THIS IS THE MOST BRITISH I HAVE EVER HEARD JOEL AND IT'S FREAKING HILARIOUS.

SCAR IS GOING TO MAKE JIMMY'S EMPIRE EVEN MORE TOY STORY THEMED, WHOS IDEA WAS THIS

The crossover we all needed

10:32 Joel: "Guys Andy is coming" Jimmy: "Stop Moving"

I know the facial expressions don't change but Scar's face while the others are trying to explain the lore is PERFECT

After spending 3 hours doing physics, I come onto RU-vid for a break and see my two favourite RU-vidrs have clashed, this is AMAZING

I loved this episode!! It brought me back to my childhood when Disney shows would have crossovers or when Disney and Nickelodeon shows had a crossover.

AHHHHHH the crossover everyone has been waiting for, also an addition to the toy shop could be that people could pay you to create custom toys that you can manufacture!! :DDDD

Ive never been a fan of empires, but after laughing at Joel just screaming lore at everything, I think I might be now. Time to binge watch Joel's empires series!

Seeing hermit craft and empires together just makes me want to cry tears of joy. I never thought Id see the day😭

11:35 Joel: We need to impress the Hermits Hermits: We will impress you much more if you join Hermitcraft from that rift when it becomes portal.

8:13 OMG JOEL!!! The double-meanings I can't HAHSHAHAHAHAH

Every now and again, I see different Empires Smp members uploading about this epic crossover and, as Joel said, it is very exciting!

its nice to see 3/4 out of the mcc 24 aqua axolotls come together on an smp

11:08 now Joel can literally break the lore

Massive binge watch time, love my empires-hermits crossover, so good to see you all together

Love this LORE Crossover 🥰🥰🥰 I was just laughing non stop while watching, I just love it when Joel , Scar and Grain are together and now they can all bother the toy 😂

I love the "Andy's coming" and everyone froze and it just so funny and I love all the toy pranks. You and Grain are the perfect pranking/taunting duo for Jimmy.

First time visiting the empires SMP. Definitely going to have to binge the previous episodes and catch-up. Dead excited for the crossover!

Scar getting scared everywhere he goes is so iconic

i cant even begin to express how incredible this crossover is it’s so cool seeing the two best smps interacting together

When realms collide. 10:30 He fell for it! 🤣

5:17 lol pearl is worthy...is that LORE!!

looks like a bunch of new gods have joined the server. scar the god of unintentional mob farms and grain the god of mischief. can't wait to see this unfold

Looks like Pearl really is in Empires SMP Season 2

the revealing potion hasnt been seen by the hermits canonically yet,,,,,,

Your excitement is infectious! Hermit toys would be amazing. I can’t wait to see what happens next.

That would be adorable if you had small hermits they would be sold out!

I have never been more excited to watch a Empires episode (i always am but im screaming)

We all needed this crossover

"Should I make Hermit toys?" Is that a real questions?? Of course you should!

This is my favorite thing ever! I'm happy Scar and Grian are some of the people you started with lol

The 100 hour trio is back…

Grians grand entrance to tumble town omg💀💀💀

10:43 Joel please don't that's actually gonna freak someone out

The Toy Story running gag is the best thing I've seen in an SMP in a long time.

THE CROSSOVER WE’VE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR!

Wow i didn't see this coming with all the rift jazz in Grians vids. I thought it was going to be some complicated way to bring mumbo back

I love how the first thing you do is give everyone an "illegal" toy sheriff 🤣

As you asked about potential Hermit-based godly temples. I think Cleo has some great themes going on you could potentially draw upon - gorgon? Reanimation? A creation goddess? And Pearl said she feels right at home in Stratos, maybe link up with Sausage and whoever else has lore about Santa Perla (I think Pix's statue is involved? Haven't been following very much) and you could set up a shrine for her or something.

I have been so excited to see this. Like a kid in a magical toy shop built by gods.

I'm hoping you , grain and scar make one big empire

You can call the Lore village ‘Lorelin’ as a reference to the Lurelin village in Zelda botw series. And Zelda botw 2 will also have a sky theme!

im literally screaming, crying and throwing up over this you have no idea

It’s now cannon Joel is part of hermitcraft no one can change my mind

The moment when Joel told everybody to not move because Andy's coming had me dying😭😭😭

Noiice. Some people did see Hermes! It's even more noticeable now who does and doesn't have invisible armor on lol. Hermes might need his own unique armor set that isn't affected by the invis.

I am SO happy this crossover is happening!! Seriously so excited to watch you all collaborated together!! :D

Epic person you are Joel

I see the title, click on the video, and realize that Empires just got way more interesting. Now that the hermits can divide amongst the empires, like different empires will have their own hermits! Like scar and Grian who casually worship Joel

Nah bc jimmy freezing as well when joel said "Andy's coming" was the best thing ever😂😂

You should absolutely make Hermit toys for your store! I understand your co-parent may have opinions on the divine status of one of those Hermits, actually ...

I’ve been waiting for Joel’s episode! Very excited

‘ We have a guy who likes to pretend he’s tall too. ‘ - Tangotek

This has given me the most joy all week!!! I'm so excited for what you all have in store for this crossover!

When I heard Cub and Scar's voices from your base in Joe's video, I was struck with such bone-chilling fear. Scar is such a hypeman/enabler/yes-and type of guy, and I feel like c!Joel is going to get a very big head over all this affirmation. Lots of my friends were talking about the potential horrors of Keralis and Sausage interactions, but Joel and the ConVex is a trio I never thought to prepare for, and that scares me lol. So much chaos.. looking forward to it!!!

So excited!!!!

Thanks for the cool new video Joel!

With the amount of times that you say lore you and Matpat would be best friends

Joel getting excited about lore made me laugh!!!! :D

FINALLY IVE BEEN WAITING FOR SO LONG

More excited than you can imagine!!

i love every other (most of them at least) empire ove seen have been worried or alert of the ''strange new people'' and joel is just so happy to see them and not caring about the unknown reason why they appeared

This really is the greatest mixing of SMPs! I'm systematically working through watching every video and loving it!

THE CROSSOVER EVERYONE'S BEEN WAITING FOR
