I Am The Dungeon Lackey! - Hermitcraft 9: #51 

Hilarious to watch you both panic. 😂

Any time X!

​@@TangoTekLP I'm waiting for someone to use the *dungeon lackey* to command tango to close his eyes while they(the runner) throw Barry's into the compass spot. Just letting you know some of the loopholes with the *dungeon lackey* system.

who's Barry@@XenoPon2

What if you could pay like a shard and 15-20 crowns to get a co op run with any other hermit. Split the loot and the extra shard to pay for 2 people going in. Would be fun to watch but probably hard to ensure “fairness” across all runs

This is my new favorite idea

Second this motion. Please make it happen!

Instantly the most popular item for Decked out 😂😂😂

It'll be a 50/50 if you get an Etho or an Ergo and I wouldn't have it any other way!

Ahhh this, please tango hire etho to be ur level 3 lackey. If not scar would be a good second option 😂

😂😂

Best lines

I'd love to see a decked out multi player where you're basically an entire DnD party with different roles and abilities, like how the lackey can have potions if he wanted to. That would sound like a lot of fun.

​@@humourlessjester3584Decked Out 3 should be like this everyone with class roles that have unique cards added to their decks. Spawn them all in a tavern in the middle that you have to get back to for the extra level of stereotype. Would be cool to have a central hub with multiple ways out to enter and leave the dungeon from.

@@humourlessjester3584 Yeah like Fighter would have Turtle pots, Rogue invis pots, Cleric Regen/healing pots, Mage speed pots, and jester a pot on their head. :)

Collab runs sound AMAZING!!

I was thinking it would be interesting to allow (not force) two players on the higher difficulties, but with no real rules beyond the normal dungeon rules. So, you could choose to co-operate fully, or you could help and be helped until it was more profitable for you to betray your fellow player. This would have interesting effects on the gameplay; it's still scary, but more fun with two players, but the added question of, "Are they going to turn on me?" makes it a bit spicier. Also, there's still only the same amount of food available, and everyone has such different playstyles...I think it would be a little easier than solo, but harder in other ways. You'd probably need some extra rules, like no hitting each other, so no one waits until they reach the exit before stealing all the glory. Hermits could still set each other up for traps/in the path of ravagers to do away with their competitor. I know it seems a bit mean, but they've played similarly combative minigames in the past. It might require some kind of agreement to keep their betrayal in the game (no seeking revenge outside of the dungeon).

Same 😂

I’m starting with Tango’s then watching theirs haha

Watching those is why I came to watch this

Waste of good time and your life 😊

it's wild that that was in the same season, S9 has lasted what seems like forever now!

nah for us stream viewers id say its more like seeing bob ross on a bob ross vhs tape. honestly its weirder seeing tango *out* of the dungeon at this point lol

I think he values shards more. The lackey is really powerfull but kind of like an overpowered etherial card. If you are confident you can win without then an extra run is better.

I think what's incredible about the system is how much leeway it gives Tango for the amount of information he discloses. The system would benefit especially newer people who want to get a feel for the thinking behind the dungeon and those who just want fun content, while having diminishing returns for stronger players who need to increasingly rely on their own skills to handle the deeper parts of the dungeon... (especially cause dead tango is best for situational awareness and strong players are usually better at that already, hopefully tango can stave off the "tell me all the secrets you know" questions)

Imagine Etho using lackey and he just does an easy run, but at the end basically forces a q&a out of Tango and learns everything he wants to about the dungeon

​@@thesaxiest4480that would be brutal and hilarious at the same time, imagine an outright interrogation 💀

Etho is just going to kill Tango at the start to get the porkchops and potions

I mean, on stream, he's been playing from time to time without buying any tomes so that he can play without an unfair advantage

@@earthbloodelf5289 I feel like as others gain more map knowledge the advantage becomes smaller? Maybe in mechanics he can still out-know the quirks but that's about it.

@@xhivo97 I feel like the lackey is still very good because he can basically neutralize dangerous Ravagers by running ahead and telling which Ravagers are close and if they are in bad spots he can kite them while the hermit can look from a safe distance plus the "superpowers" are extremely valuable (honestly the potions by themselves might be worth the whole 8 crowns). Also keep in mind that a dead lackey can still help (which might actually be broken, we'll see if Tango keeps doing it) which basically means that anyone who tries to go into the black mines can almost ignore the blindness of Wardens, the most difficult aspect of level 3, and always know where the Wardens are so that the hermits can avoid them as much as possible. A dungeon lackey might actually make Deadly difficulty runs completely trivial.

​@@TheMightySpurdoAs seen in the video, unless tango fixes this, items and enemies are outside Tango's render distance on levels 2 and 3 so best he can do is tell map layout.

@@unaminggaming That happened because Tango died basically at the entrance of the level 1, his corpse was too far away from the rest of the dungeon so he couldn't see the items (but he could indeed see the enemies, he always can). Assuming that he learns his lesson and is more careful next time, during a level 3 run he should die no sooner than when they enter level 2, but even if he does die on level 1 like a noob it doesn't matter too much, the loot is the least of the perks of a lackey, the enemy tracking is way more valuable. Also if the lackey survives the first two levels I think the optimal play would be to tell Tango to empty his pockets and hug the nearest Warden so that he can help in his ghost form and ignore the blindness.

Or bdubs/grian + lackey

​@@victor_.Don't forget scar!

Keralis has one of the best decks atm, lackeying with him might take away the shakes (or not) lol

or Ren with his mad role play

watching Keralis run and his shaky jumps had my anxiety so high i think it may have literally aged me.

A beautifully noble display. My favorite part of the video.

i didnt notice it either in X's vid. you can just imagine Tango going "im Right Here Dangit!" as hes Bopping him. xD

Indeed 💯💯

I would definitely add the survival tag there, but that's not because anything better was made in creative, it's just more impressive to be made in survival

Hermitcraft is not a vanilla server lol, they use a lot of mods. Some were even used to create Decked Out 2 so it's definitely not a vanilla build. Decked Out 1 was actually much closer to a vanilla build (even though a bit of mod action was in the original version as well, it was much less).

@@TheMightySpurdoThe non-vanilla things are cosmetic

@@TheMightySpurdo Isn't it mainly the voice mod for the sounds and a bit of retexturing for the drops?

I’m really hoping all of the Hermits grab the coupon now that they see the results. Special hopes: -Pearl (for no reason than that I love seeing the two of them hang out) -Gem (I feel Tango would add keys to his inventory to counter Gem’s tough luck with keys) -Scar (shenanigans. Just shenanigans) -Impulse (obviously the other Hermit of Team ZITs needs to do this)

​@@InfernaFireswordoh absolutely. Each one would bring something super interesting to the run. I'd put Keralis up there for the humorous possibilities as well

I wanna see what Hypno does. he's the most explorative hermit in the dungeon and also the most failed runs too. Tango could be a backup for him in that run

Even better when we realise Zed got Tango killed early pretty much every run while X nearly got Tango out alive.

For you last bit, Tango needs to add a developer commentary mode token.

and even better is watching it live on twitch! (if you can make that is lol)

It's the best!

I think it should for sure be a very expensive ethereal cause it’s amazing concepts and I would love to see play out but I do think it’s super op

That would have to be a 70 only for permanent, easily would be the most OP card in the game. Also it would balance it out because if you're getting runs of over 50 embers consistently enough to also get the high price cards you want, you probably don't need that extra info anyways. Even for ethereal card it would have to be at least 30 (so a pretty good hard run most likely), so that you would have to use it extremely strategically to maybe pull off a run to deep level 3 or maybe even level 4.

Make it like a Genie. They get to ask three questions of Tango.

Maybe just have it ethereal? So it's a chance of post lackey death help.

Isn't there already a card called Clairvoyance?

I don’t know how feasible it would be in terms of redstone/general mechanics, but that would be *really* cool. Goes neatly in hand with the fanon/headcanon that Decked Out is sentient

@@emilyrattini8462 the redstone would be easy because all he has to do is replace the audio file on the disc with a new one. I dunno how easy it is to edit audio but I imagine it would be a case of creating one file with all the audio tracks from each hermit plus any effects. I think the biggest challenge would be making sure all the hermits are in sync, they'd probably have to record in time with a track tango sends them?

o7

RIP, you will be missed ❤❤❤

I can just imagine him in the caves laughing like a beast when he falls into the river and dies

Technically not vanilla, like the door animation or sounds, but definitely the redstone!

It's got custom sounds, models (relics), and visuals (doors). 😂

@@GuthixLivesall of which is visual so it’s technically vanilla

@@GuthixLives The Doors out of everything is literally the BEST

⁠@@vedantgupta2145no, the sounds are not „Visual“ because they are needed to know which cards are played. Also just, because a build could be done in survival, a creative world is still not „technical survival“. Same vibes. Decked out is not vanilla.

I wouldn't say "casually", haha. Over a year of work living in a hole took serious commitment.

x is definitely admin for a reason! haha but you're right I love his relationships with all the hermits he's such an obviously caring guy full of nothing but the best intentions :)

cant believe Zedaph bought not one, but 3 lackey tokens

Yeah playing with a buddy is fun, and watching it too! I wonder if Tango will do more of his own runs to warm up for lackey runs coming up haha

I'd recommend Hypno

Yes he would

Also for some payback by having tango activate the *Frost Walker* trap.

Yeah dead lackey was a bit too op, I think he should keep it similar but just less advice or something once he's dead

Didn’t help on level 3 though
