For the record in case nobody else figured it out: the drowned spawn way more often in lush cave biomes. The ravines and deep lakes mean that the water around Grian's base are considered lush caves. Edit: For people confused, it's not that Lush Caves have boosted chances for Drowned. It is that they massively reduced areas for everything else. Glowberry vines mean that Lush Caves are almost always unable to spawn monsters cause of light levels. These lighted vines can't spawn underwater though, so only the deeper aquatic areas can spawn monsters, which are always gonna be the Drowned. TLDR: All the caves are auto-spawn-proofed in Lush Caves, so only deep water can spawn hostiles.

I love how Scar and Joel just welcomed themselves into the server upon their own accord and Grian just accepts it for what it is

12:15 Grian: “Now this could be cool” *immediately gets hit by a perfectly cut fireball*

Grian: “I’ve been playing this pretty poorly” Grian, not a minute later: “Wanna play a game of dig straight down?”

Grian: "Do you have any ender pearls?" Joel: *immediately vomits a stack of ender pearls*

Grian: **throws a trident** Wandering trader: *Whomst has awakened the ancient one*

Grian in season 6: "im really not going to try to use the Elytra much" Grian now: "my precious wings"

2:05 Sometimes I think people have forgotten that Scar at one point did have a hardcore series, he survived much longer than expected

Grian: “Look at any Hermitcraft season we’ve ever done Scar has the most deaths.” Also Grian: *is responsible for 80% of them*

Grian: "No-one thought I would survive a hundred hours?" Also Grian: *digs straight down for fun*

My favorite sentence any Minecraft player has ever said “No you can’t swim through the wall!” Goodtimeswithscar, 2022

If everyone reaches 100 hours, you all should have a challenge where everyone tries to set traps for each other to kill them (which would be more interesting because pvp is off)

I love how each of the people in the series said that it’s THEIR server and invited the other two people

5:27 “Dont worry! PVP is off!” Grian, we all know you will start a war, one way or another.

Scar instantly makes any series so much better, that guy always makes me smile

It's been 8 days...I'm starting to think Grian may have died in a stupid way

Grian: "So Ima try surviving hardcore" Also Grian: *Gets jumpscared by a wandering trader*

grian spends ONE season with pearl and he's gone and got himself crazy doors

I had never actually heard Scar talking before, he has a really beautiful voice with such a pleasant timbre

Lessons with Grian: Wandering traders make for good jumpscares

“Joel did you see me! Did you see me!” Joel is like the father figure for Grian

i think the reason for the drowned overspawning is because your area is over a lush cave and lush caves are mostly mob proofed so the mobs spawn on the overworld instead of everywhere they would underground. and because drowned spawn even when its night you are getting constantly swarmed

8:40 Both of you beware! Boats have a weird bug where you take full fall damage at certain height intervals! It happened in the Boatem Hole, it could happen here...

Fun fact spiders are one of the only mobs that can see you through glass

For anyone who gets stranded in the nether like Grian did: all you need is a flint and steel, gravel is common in the nether making flint an easy thing to obtain and you can get iron by bartering with piglins

Grain: **Create a hardcore survival series** **Joel & Scar joined the game** No, this is last life

Grian: Welcome to the hardcore series! If you die once, you can't play anymore. Scar: So anyway I made a floating base out of trapdoors-

0:15 Drowned have broken AI when standing in 1-block deep water. It has affected servers too, for Monumenta we had to replace some of our water-themed drowned enemies with regular zombies

Remember, Elytra on means less protection, so be careful, and try not to experience kinetic energy. Edit: Oh my goodness. Thank you guys for all the likes! Wow!

Give Scar some credit, he is the man who spent a whole season of last life on 1 life. He only lost it in a 1v1 with Grian, being the 2nd longest to survive.

15:17 How incredibly funny would it have been if the series just ended right there

“Have you seen anything more beautiful than this in your life?” Grian, you have a wife. Shouldn’t that be more beautiful than pixels in a game?

The drowned spawning is probably caused by underwater caves in the pool, drowned have extremely increased spawn rates in any water in caves.

Grian: *throws a trident* Wandering trader: I'VE BEEN SUMMONED

I love the cut at 12:14 "This could be cool!" Immediately gets hit by the fireball

If anyone is curious when the next season of hermitcraft might likely start, my guess is Grian’s new series was designed to take exactly the amount of time to release before episode 1 of the next season of hermitcraft. Considering it takes him roughy a week to create a episode for this 100 hours, and each episode has been 10 hours of in game time, we might likely see the start of the hermitcraft season 9 start in about two months, assuming it will take grian 10 weeks to record 100 hours of in game footage at 10 hours per week / episode.

"I dont know what will happen when we have reached a 100 hours" ...*grian gets near to a 100 hours* "Is the sun big?"

I honestly love seeing Grian and Joel discussing their plans to fight the ender dragon! it felt like they were just genuinely enjoying the game and excited for the next step. Don't know why this little detail got me but it just made me feel nostalgic of when my friends and I would play survival.

Should've gotten yourself some gold boots. They effect your armor rating the least and keep piglins from attacking you

27:45 LORD OF RINGS! omg you did that perfectly!

"I love Scar to bits." Don't we all? XD He's a wholesome mischievous rascally sweet imaginative bumbling professional Living Trade Offer Meme. The dynamic between Scar and Grian makes me so happy. They mess with each other without mercy...but if Scar dies when Grian doesn't want him to, Grian screams louder than anyone else (including Scar). Looking forward to the rest of this series!

Grian: “No, I lost my trident.” Also Grian: “Why are there so many tridents in this lake?”

Actually when you’re stuck in the Nether, you can take advantage of the wool to lead the fire nearby to the portal and light it up I’ve gotten in the same situation before and I used haybales for that

Btw, fun fact: with a loyalty trident, you can hit things through cages! that happens because the trident hits the stuff around it as it comes back to you. it also works with buttons, which can be a cool secret base.

Grian could try to do all of the Advancements. Seeing him try to do "How Did We Get Here" would be hilarious

Oh my word Scars base is giving me so much anxiety, he’s literally asking to die 😂

Love the series so far! Glad Joel and Scar are along for the ride too

"Well this could be cool" Top 10 famous last words

Fun fact: spiders are the only mob that can see through glass, which is why the enderman couldn’t see you

Scar: *has the most deaths of any hermicraft season ever including ones he wasn't in* Also Scar: *builds a death trap for fun*

😅I love scar, he brings a smile to any face. And Joel, he just brings a whole cool guy dad wholesome amazing energy to the table❤❤

Scar:I love danger Also Scar:dies hundreds of times

i honestly kinda wanna see hermits play this but with heart beat monitors to see how stressed they get

Grain: Scar? A hundred hours? Also Grain: I have faith in him!

This dragon fight was mental. lol

Hi grian! I know you don't do building tutorials anymore, but I was wondering if you could make a video on how to use copper? I've been having trouble trying to get it to fit with my house, so I would appreciate if you showed us some examples!

I've never been more stressed than when Grian walked BLIND in the nether strip mine.

When Grian tried to jump onto Scar's base and fell it literally gave me a panic attack

just realized ive been watching grian for a fifth of my life and dont plan to stop.

The main reason I wasn’t interested in this series was because I thought he’d be alone and just surviving but this is more interesting

If Scar manages to outlive literally ANYONE on the server it will be the funniest thing ever

Grain: "There's no point in trying to get the enchanter back, he's never gonna give it up" Me: "He's never gonna let you down"

Grian: "I love scar to bits! everyone: UMM

Scar's base being such a deathtrap is just perfect for how prone he is to dying.

I love how Grian says he wants to do things that normal people would do in Minecraft in this series, and the first thing that came to Joel's mind is a megabase

Grian: Do you wanna play a game of.. dig straight down? Me: flashbacks to HC s6

29:00 Grian saying "We did it, we did it WE DID IT" reminds me of the way Dora the explorer sings at the end of every episdoe

scar and grian trying to hit each other. Grian: this is probably for the best

some tips/facts: -Eyes of ender have a 1/5 chance of breaking -End cities generate in N/S lines, so if you go north or south from a city you will find another. -You can re-light a portal with a ghast fireball when your portal breaks, or you can get flint and steel and fire charges in the nether, wither in ruined portal chests, trade with piglins, or mine nether gravel for flint then get the iron in a chest. -your luck is UNMATCHED

Grian now owns the most valuable currency on the server- not villagers or diamonds, but a Scar IOU

Hey grian, i know you probably wont see this comment but maybe some other people can help spread it. Can i request that you and the other hermits help to make scars floating city on the season 8 map? He didnt get the chance and i feel like that would be a huge thing for him to get to see it on the map. Thanks for the consideration!

We've enjoyed you along with the other Hermits so much, we've decided to start our own series! Thanks for all you've done.

If grian want to survive 100 hours I highly suggest that he uses potions like healing, fire resistance, regeneration and flow falling.

Grian is amazing, how can he spend 6 hours with villagers and not go insane, unlike me

This series is awesome! Looking forward to seeing where it goes.

oxidizing nicely that stuff🥰 20:10

I love the fact that a KZfaqr that makes a career out of Minecraft doesn’t know stuff people know after like a year of playing but for some reason it puts such a big smile on my face to see Grian laugh or get excited when something happens

I love how Joel just casually got the rarest disc in the game xD

love this series Grian :)

I freaking love this series

16:38 I think the ghast died because you had Thorns on some of your armor (since it still works with projectiles)

When Grian tried to hit Joel while he was bridging over the void, my anxiety went thru the roof.... PTSD hits hard man

24:46 I don't think Boomerang's coming back, Toph!

grian its okay you dont need to finish the rest of the 100 hours in the next video

I love that the hardest part of this challenge is to put up with Scar’s shenanigans 😆

Grian getting set on fire in the nether: Calm Grian seeing a wandering trader: PANIC

Steps for netherite farming: *wear armor and sheild *dig straight hole *put bed *walk back 5 blocks away from bed *put "BLACKSTONE" infront *sneak for sheild protection *click the bed Then boom, less damage nor fire wont even hurt you :3

I really enjoy this 100 hours

Grian: "Nobody believes I can do this!" Also Grian: "Does anyone REALLY think Scar can do this?" 😂 Then I see Scar's base ... nope, I don't. I don't think he can. But it'll be fun to see.

He could still get out if it was a singleplayer: 1. Get gold from the little ores. 2. Piglins can give fire charge. (trade) 3. Place it in the portal and your good!

Loving the solarpunk aesthetic for this series!!! It’s such a vibe

episode 2 and he's beaten the dragon in full enchanted netherite. gotta love minecraft youtubers

75 hours later: That trident finally comes back but finishes off grian and ends the series a few ours short for revenge

Loony: searches about 20 strongholds for other side Joel: I just found a music disc called otherside

I'm loving the series Grian! I've been watching your channel since 2019 and haven't stopped since. One series that I loved was your build school series. You're a lot better now and I think it would be a great idea.

G: "I just have to make another enchanter. I'll never get that one back." S: "I'll give it back! I just like to give him a hard time😊"

Best scar quote: “This… this is a wall… NO YOU CANT SWIM THROUGH A WALL”

Okay I know this is old school, but I think you ought to dig out a “dark room” under the lake. The problem is that with the new lighting mechanics, caves don’t take up a large portion of the mob cap like they used to. The lake is deep enough that the only real spawning space is the bottom of the lake.

I carnt wait to see what happens next 😁

You can do it grian gg good grian!!
