Summary
Highlights
Grian marks the last day of the Hermitcraft server, aiming to enjoy the remaining hours with casual exploration, games, and discussions about the season. His primary goal for the finale is to fish for a mending book, a long-unfulfilled quest. He notes the high volume of junk and treasures he's fished, highlighting statistics like 7,689 fish caught and over 11,000 fishing rod uses, while surprisingly having dropped 31,000 fish. Gem and Impulse join him, jokingly remarking on his dedication and the sheer statistics of his fishing attempts.
With a book finally fished (though not mending), Grian, Gem, Impulse, and Scar embark on a 'slow tour' of Hermitcraft on a ghast. They visit Grian's base, appreciating its organic build, and then Scar's area, specifically the 'fire tree' which holds a unique origin story. They discuss Mumbo's impressive main base and build progress, followed by Bdubs' stunning landscape and cottage. They humorously 'fish' Bdubs and Ren into joining their ghast tour, with Bdubs giving a tour of his recently completed city, renowned for its quick construction despite some humorous design flaws like an inaccessible parking garage.
The group plays a round of 'Peardle,' a Wordle-like game created by Pearl. Grian's first word, 'final,' yields no correct letters. After several attempts with suggestions from the group (including 'chute' and 'coded'), they realize the word is 'codex,' highlighting the difficulty of Pearl's final challenge. Before playing, Grian confesses to being a 'fake' ore snatcher, admitting to stealing some ores to mislead others, while acknowledging he's 99.9% sure of the real ore snatcher's identity.
The tour continues to the gaming district. Grian and Ren decide to play 'Mace Race,' a minigame Ren is currently champion of. Grian, playing for the first time, finds it challenging, especially due to a missing armor stand on one of the courses, leading to some comical struggle. Despite the difficulties, Grian eventually completes the course. Next, they try 'Hungry Hermies,' a target-shooting game. Grian scores two points, significantly lower than Tango's seemingly impossible score of 48, prompting accusations of cheating.
The group decides to play 'sardines' at Pearl's base. Pearl hides first, and others join her as they find her. Xisuma comically 'invents' regular hide and seek, leading to much laughter. Grian cleverly hides deep inside the mouth of a massive kraken build at Gem's base, fishing while he waits. After a prolonged search, Etho is the last to find a very cramped Pearl and the other players, leading to humorous comments about his 'dying pinky' from crouching.
The ghast tour continues with a visit to the art gallery, showcasing various fan art from throughout the season. The Hermits are impressed by the talent of their fans and reflect on favorite pieces, from individual Hermit portraits to group photos. Xisuma discusses future possibilities for fan art displays, joking about a 'cereal aisle' concept. Grian expresses regret for not contributing to the gallery selection, realizing the immense quality of the artwork.
With only 40 minutes remaining, Grian attempts one last time to fish for a mending book, anticipating a dramatic success right before the server closes. He compiles a quick-fire montage of his season's best moments, expressing his emotional connection to the season. The video then transitions through various humorous clips and key moments from previous episodes, interspersed with Grian's failed attempts to fish up a mending book. The video concludes with the final sunset on Hermitcraft, marking the end of another beloved season.
