The dungeon is ready for its victims

Decked Out 2 opened on Saturday!

Watch on YouTube

Tango streamed for several hours on Saturday, Sunday, and Monday (with almost 20k viewers on Saturday.) For some reason he is surprised how popular the game is?, it has been played over a hundred times already. And no wonder, it's fantastic. I've been having so much fun watching everyone.

Hermits who have already uploaded videos of their runs:
Jevin
Zedaph
Xisuma
Scar
Grian
Etho
Hypno
Joe
Impulse
Cleo
Cub
Other Hermits who have already done runs (that I know of) are Gem, Pearl, Bdubs, Doc, and Beef.

It's week one of ten so the Hermits have only just started exploring the dungeon and building their decks, I'm sure it's only going to get more exciting! Some favorite moments so far included Tango dying to a berry bush in practice, Scar hearing a "Stumble" card and saying "Hey I did not stumble, I am fully capable of walking - just kidding," Tango despairing while Scar struggled with the compass, the door closing right in Etho's face and Etho blaming Tango, and Doc getting stuck in the frost ember dispenser hole. I also love the daycare waiting room the Hermits built.

Have you watched any runs so far? Who are your favorites to win?

I watched a few of them in earlier streams! He dies a lot. But I don't think I've ever seen him run it just to run it - he's always testing something, so he's paying more attention to whether everything is working properly and how to fix it than where the ravagers are or if he's close to max clank.

I don't think he'd be Etho level - at least once Etho learns the dungeon well (which will be in like, two days) but I don't think the test runs are fair (of course I also don't know if he'd be able to turn off his testing brain enough to run it that way!) I think he'd do better than he thinks he would, like when he won the parkour crown.

He did a few runs yesterday, I watched some and it was very interesting how different it felt to watch someone who clearly knew where everything was and how everything works. But it's only week one, I'm sure several of the Hermits will get there soon enough! Though it will take a little time for each new level. (Four levels. Tango is a madman.)

Etho did another run on Tango's stream yesterday and his runs are my favorites. So tense! I can barely wait for the Hermits to make it down to the Warden levels, my poor nerves...

I am now caught up on Tango decked out streams! Amazing! (Now I just have all the videos to catch up on...) Tango did another run yesterday and it was great.

Etho's runs on Tango's streams are definitely my favorite so far(especially his last one) but then Tango anything is pretty great! His last one was hilarious. And it's interesting from both him and the streams you get the impression that he's doing OK but not great and Hypno is way ahead but that is Not So, by every metric *other* than the ones Tango is counting he's way way ahead.

Etho's last run was amazing xD It took him so long to realize, even with all the hints!

Hypno is far ahead in dungeon knowledge though, especially because I would be surprised if Etho watched many runs by other Hermits (unlike some others.) Hypno's strategy so far is high risk/high reward, and it may start paying off.
Luck plays a large role so I think it won't be until week three or so that we can better evaluate who is doing how well. I'm very happy for Scar that he won phase one!
