Hi everyone! Sorry for 100+ days without uploads. HellCastle has been keeping you all updated on his situation through videos and tweets, and I (tyler) had taken a break for my first term of University, so nothing got done. I'm back now, and will be working on some more content for you, but until then, please enjoy this 40 minute guide thats been 3 weeks in the making :)

The 12 villager quest is not useless, it gives 5 skyblock xp

[shnoly]

Watching this at like level 16 makes me realize how much i learned on my own... and how much i would have NEVER figured out like the magic power or the portalhub or how useful buying sets would actually be instead of hardened diamond armor (which is my current main set)

[AstraMinecraftBuilds]

You should release a part two for this as an intermediate guide

[officiallegendofzelda]

Truly, thank you for this. I’m the type of person who just never plays games like skyblock because of how intimidating they look with all the features, skills, items, and other stuff.

[Derailious]

Excellent video. Hopefully this helps bring a lot more people to the game!

Heyy, it would be nice if you made a video on how to get back into the game after a year or so of not playing, sort of a recap of all the updates in a certain amount of time and anything important you really shouldn't miss. A good starting point would be back when superior armor was the best one in the game.

Since mining cobblestone counts as mining ore, you can use it for ore milestones. That means that you can make a cobblestone generayor earlygame for 13mil coins from selling the milestone rock pets to george.

You'll need an eff 5 gold pick, some teleport pads to be able to semi-afk the generator and haste iii pots to instamine cobble.

An even better upgrade to your redstone minion would be getting 2.500 cobblestone (for the cobblestone collection) to unlock the Compactor. (It was covered at the 30:00 minute mark of this video, but you can get them for free instead of buying them by grinding coins)
The Compator, like the name suggests, will compact the redstone collected by minions into redstone BLOCKS. By the time you get 2500 cobblestone, which you will get within the first day on logging on the game, you will have also unlocked the Enchanted Redstone from the Redstone collection (to craft the compactor). Enchanted versions of blocks are esentially there to stop your minions from filling up their inventories within a day and just being able to collect for weeks or even longer, and to craft higher level stuff that you will have to worry about later.
Just a quick tip so that you don't actually have to check on your minion every hour.

I just got back into playing sky block, and this guide was so helpful! You're a life saver!

Seeing hellcastle and tyler uploads make me feel so excited even if i already know all of it

[stoerebink]

i love how you are so kind to tell how the skyblock from hypixel works cause i never played it and thought that i will never play it but here i am

[regialfa]

THANK YOU GUYS!! ive been thinking about skyblock a lot after i quit, 2 long years since i stoped playing, i always kept up with the new update, never playing always watching. Too scared to join once more, but seeing you guys upload has brought courage in me to try the skyblock once more, thank you.

[krokko_rl]

Even tho I'm concidered "mid/late" game I really love this video! I wish I'd seen this video before I started playing haha, will deffinetly send this to some friends that wanted to start, ty a lot for this great video!

It’s also worth noting that Giant Killer V is a worthwhile enchantment for the Mercenary Axe, as it does lots of extra damage to opponents with more HP than yourself, making Arachne much easier to fight. You might also consider getting Cleave V to maximize your damage in Arachne’s second phase. Another thing to note is that to make it easier on yourself to get enough coins to purchase the Mercenary set, while you are mining for gravel, you have a chance to obtain pet rocks, which aren’t that goos in general but you can go to the petkeeper and sell them for a pretty penny. The common ones go for 10, 000 and the uncommon variants go for 50, 000 coins. Another tip with the Grand Experience Bottles, is that if you unlock fishing, there’s a rare chance of obtaining them. So if for whatever reason you decide to pick up fishing, you can obtain a decent amount of Grand Experience Bottles for easy exp or money if you decide to sell them in the Bazaar. Once you unlock the End you can also mine glowing blocks called Ender Nodes, which have special particles surrounding them. Mining them will have a chance of rewarding you with rare rewards, including Grand Experience Bottles, and loads of other rare items you can sell in the Bazaar for inflated prices. Learning to Bazaar Flip and Event Flip is also a worthwhile investment for new players for quick cash, and there are loads of other tutorials explaining how to do exactly that. Overall great video and I would love to see a part two coming from you guys as an Intermediate Guide.

Tysm for making this! I played skyblock so much for its first year, and I stopped playing around when the pets update came . I came back about 2 weeks ago, and everything is super confusing. I found this guide very helpful!

[ideac.]

i forgot that your were a skyblock channel at this point, your non sb content is absolutely god tier
anyways i love all your videos
perhaps you could make some alpha/beta minecraft history videos or something similar too? im a sucker for internet history 🥺🥺🥺

[carlyd]

I remember watching the older guide of urs which is the first video I watched for skyblock last year october. Now I've come this far to finish the entire catacombs and now in end game with 14 billion networth. Real nostalgic to watch a beginners guide.

[queekqueek]

This guide helps a lot after not playing for about 3 years, then coming back and seeing everything has changed.

His upload schedule is so awesome that i stopped playing hypixel 2 month ago and his video gets recommended to me now
