The grandmother raven statue got my eyes sweating. She was a legend and I'm honored to have spent my childhood hearing her voice. I hope she knew the effect her voice had on all of us fans. It's like a warm blanket.
Also there are a lot of parts that are lowkey dark, when you beat Khrokotep you straight up kill him because you later meet his ghost who assists you in the next part of Krotopia but what's more disturbing is after killing him you get a housing item drop to mount his taxiderm head on your wall..
the dead friends one hit hard. when i was a kid i played the game a ton with my cousin, he was the one who got me into it. he tragically passed away very young in 2020. always makes me sad to see that minion in place of his character in my friends list. i always wished KI would keep the character models in the friends list no matter how long its been since they logged on but i'm sure theres a reason for it
i’m so sorry to hear that :( it’s nice you’ll always have amazing memories of playing with him though, that’ll last forever. And agreed, i wish they kept the models too.
It’s great that all the Make-A-Wish players were added in meaningful ways that give good rewards Daniel gives cool wands Brandon gives great treasure cards Allen gives the fourth potion Blaze introduced team up and sells the badge rewards for it Also, we do kill Malistaire at the end of Dragonspyre.
OMG! It's so crazy to see Blaze here! You should have seen the Twitter community back during those times! Fun fact: Blaze got unjustly muted for 10 YEARS when a hacker took over his account! He would only talk through Twitter DMs when he played LOL
In-game wedding, parties and other RP is among some of my dearing childhood memories. Those were extremely fun. The trend died down in about 2013-14. People started growing up and got bored of it
@@Gladrockerabout the Pokémon stuff btw. I seem to remember there was this magazine, becket or something and there was some sort of collab with Pokémon in the magazine where they gave out either the Shardtail Dragon (expired) or the original death beatle
dude, you've seriously outdone yourself. two MORE hours of content on w101 history, all of which is researched thoroughly, presented interestingly, and topped off with extremely clean editing. it's a crime that you only have 6k subs. i really hope this video catches the algorithm and blows up like part 1. it deserves it
Storm beetle owner here. Played this game since 2008, and i’ll always have a deep love for this game. These iceberg videos are so amazing, and i’m so thankful for them ❤
Funny thing about Hobgobbler is that when it was accidentally put in the crown shop a few months ago... for GOLD... a bunch of people bought one or hundreds 💀 Definitely not a rare mount anymore unfortunately. And no, the mounts were NOT removed.
Hey all! After several long months of researching, recording and editing... it's finally here! I cover 60 new topics in this Iceberg Part 2 video, and trust me - it goes DEEP 🔥 This is my greatest video EVER. I am SO proud of how it turned out! The editing. 👏 The audio quality. 👏 The pacing - especially in the bottom tiers! 👏 I always try to outdo myself with every upload. I've been putting increasing amounts of effort into each new video. I can't imagine how I'm going to top this ! 😅 Please share this video with your friends + let me know what you think in the comments! I read them all! And as always, thank you so much for all your support! You all keep me motivated to make the best content I can! 😎 ❤
Please do part 2 with no part 1. I'm not wasting 2 hours rewatching your last video too. Don't get me wrong I enjoyed and shared you last video LOTS. Please separate!!
i don’t think you understand 🙂 this video covers all new topics. it doesn’t cover part 1 topics. it’s it’s own video! i think you’re confused because the iceberg shows old topics in red, but of course i don’t repeat covering them!
Ahhh the good old days where we’d stand in the commons and say “I need a girl” or “I need a boy”, and then you’d get a partner. Then if you got married and “had children” you’d go to the commons and put out an application for a child 😭😭 So incredibly cringe but wow, this game was amazing and had such a great community.
tbh if disney bought KI, then they'd shut it down just like club penguin. cause they are a mega-corp that have way too much money, and still don't care about what people really want.
I'm Polish for context. Baba Yaga in the mythology stories I've heard; kidnaps misbehaving children, eats/cooks babies, but also can help you if you are benevolent. Also, I agree that Khrysalis is completely the darkest world. It reminds me very much of WWII. There are a lot of parallels between them. It's terrifying but makes for good story.
Just logged onto Wiz to confirm I have the storm beetle. I do, but who would’ve known 7 year old me grinding grub guardian for rewards would’ve gotten me such a rare pet 💀
Hey that's me at 50:17 !! Some context for that tweet, I never did the exploit, was only mocking how people who did got only a temporary suspension and nothing more. At the end of the day it was KI's fault for allowing all of that to unfold and those second chance rerolls costed crowns which is probably why they didn't permanently ban players who did it. ANOTHER EXCELLENT ICEBERG, THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS TYPE OF CONTENT! Will be waiting for part 3!!
Hahaha awesome seeing you here! And oh thanks for clarifying, i actually did interpret your tweet as sarcasm / mocking the real exploiters 😂 Agreed - absolutely KI’s fault. They need to test their game more, it’s pretty ridiculous. And thank you so much! 🙌 Really appreciate the kind words
Dude your first iceberg video got me back into the game after being inactive for 2 years and now I have all 7 wizards maxed out, thank you for these icebergs
Storm Beetle owner here. Don't remember how or when I got it, but I just redownloaded Wizard101 and there it was. Love these Iceberg videos, they have gotten me to play this again, keep up the amazing work :)
On squatting, you can see other players doing it. Many many years ago I used to ask teammates how they do it and they didn't even know they were squatting.
1:21:20 the second Old Grizzleheim runic alphabet on Legends of the Spiral is actually wrong. A player named Bowl of Wyrms does a ton of Spiral language stuff, and they figured out that Old Grizzleheim uses capital and lowercase letters. The translator tool only has 5 capital letters instead of the full alphabet, which is on Bowl of Wyrms’ website
It's been so long since I logged onto my original account for this game, after Wizard101 went on Steam I primarily began playing over there again when i picked it up again. I'm Twenty Two now, however when I first started playing i was maybe like Eight or Nine, not too sure on the age. But I DO still have the Frontier Dragon Mount and the Auric Dragon Statue on my old account, not only this but I still have the Selena Gomez Statue and Portrait from when there was that promotional stunt back in the day, oh man, such good times.
This video is a gem for W101 community. I retired long ago from game (like 4/5 years ago) I don't want come back because I fell the game is become really pay to win(especially the pvp part with the spellement thing which I have enjoy the most while I played back on the days),but I still enjoy watch some content from yt about this game and I have aquired ton of informations and things that I don't even know before from this game. So ty for the work to find all of this, you for sure deserve something by the game for the video!!!
Aww thanks so much for the kind words! Means a lot! I totally understand leaving the game because of its increasing pay to win nature. It’s too bad the game’s headed in that direction. But thanks so much again - and KI actually did give me a little something for my content creation. They made my in-game name green instead of the regular blue, so it stands out. It was a nice gesture from them! :)
1:49:00 And theres also that time the wizard actually just kills the boss Acampi Reedfist and prys the badge of leadership from his "cold dead hands" in the dungeon Deepest Mine in Azteca
Hahaha I completely forgot about that. Wow that is super dark. I do like when the storywriters delve into darker subject matter though. it makes the game more interesting
@@Gladrocker AND the death boss in Tierra de Brea, Ezhua Bad Taste, threatens to wash his mouth with our blood. I LOVE the dialogue in Khrysalis and Azteca so much!
@@Gladrocker For the record, Acampi Reedfist was already undead. The Wizard didn't kill him - they actually referenced that in the quest. He tells the Wizard "You'll have to pry it from my cold, dead hands... oh, wait." Edit: It's worth noting that the Wizard has canonically killed people in the past. Malisstaire specifically comes to mind. Before that, there's Krokhotep.
Hi! I'm a friend of AnonW101DiskBuyer and I showed this to them. Of course, they since made the disk public like you saw in the Reddit post. They really appreciated seeing it. Also, on the thought of Pokémon, interestingly, the chat filter permits people to mention the names of 3 Pokémon, Abra, Kadabra, and Alakazam. I could buy Alakazam being a coincidence, since, well, this IS a game about magic and people could say something like that when they use a spell or something. Abra and Kadabra though, I just don't find it that likely to be a coincidence. I haven't tried other Pokémon names (and there's literally over 1000 now, I don't have the time or resources to try every single name, that's just something I did for fun). Also also, another thing I know I mentioned on Reddit, but if you do a part 3, I'd love to see how you cover the friendly players that serve as teleport pads, like Tabitha Winterheart in the Bazaar, Samantha in the Pet Pavilion, Kane Rainbowbane in the Drains (near the Abandoned House instance), Brittany Soulmender near the potion vendor, and so on.
Hey there! Thanks for showing AnonW101DiskBuyer 😄 Im glad both of you enjoyed and appreciated the vid! And yes - i love the friendly player teleport pad topic. I’ll be sure to cover that. Also great info about pokemon! If you think of anything else please let me know! Feel free to twitter dm or discord message as well!
Abra and Kadabra are named after the Abracadabra spell magicians used in their acts. Or maybe it was a single magician that popularized the phrase, I'm not sure. That would explain their specific names being included in the white list.
This was some serious dedication to have found all this crazy stuff looking through all the update notes and everything, especially when they are so hard to look through efficiently. Well done mate!
Found my way back to W101 recently and found your video by coincidence. Super crazy to see Allan get mentioned in this, he was my brother and we had a great time visiting KI all those years ago.
Wow! I am so glad you happened to come across my video. Nice to meet you, and welcome back to W101 :) I loved learning all about Allan’s experiences with Wizard101 while making this video. He was an amazing person, and is missed by all. 🙏
I come across your brothers character in khrysalis last night and started reading up about his experience, I was very touched by your brothers story. It warms my heart to see his memory immortalised in the game.
I've never played the game, watched any other youtuber talk about it, or read anything or knew anyone that played this game more then 2 hours. But damn, you make this interesting and I would watch many more of these ice burg videos, you just make it intriguing. I hope you get more traction it's all genuinely interesting
I played a long time ago as a young kid but haven't played in probably at least 8 years. But I've watched the previous iceberg video many times and now this one will go into my rotation lol. I love long videos that go super in depth on stuff.
Not only was content of this video just as excellent and top quality as part 1, but the formatting of how you reranked the tiers of conspiracy into the already the existing iceberg was a very cool touch. It’s little things like that that elevate a video from excellent to almost perfect. Great work as always. Gladrocker is one of the best wiz TH-camrs out there
No wayy! That was such a fun time, hanging with you all in the commons haha. You’ll definitely see me there more often :) Thanks so much for the kind words! Glad you enjoy the video! 😄
Oooh I’ve actually been meaning to make another slow + reverb wiz music compilation for a while now. That’s on my to-do list! Never like making 100% promises though because sometimes other priorities come up 😭 but yeah most likely at some point i will! And thanks for the kind words - much appreciated!!
2:32 holy shit i havent played w101 for 2 years but wanted something to watch in the background while i was doing work from home and seeing my video for one in a million from a long time ago was a total shock to me. Great video!
Oh hey it’s you! 😄 That’s awesome you stumbled across my vid. i’m so glad you enjoyed it, and that was certainly some great one in a million footage haha!
I watched part 1 when it first came out, I just got this video on my recommended. I enjoyed watching this video just as much as the first . I hope you make a part 3. I’ve been playing the game for over 10 years now and I’m fascinated about the stuff you covered in the video from before my time and even afterwards that I wasn’t aware of. My dad and older brother played the game the year it came out, so I definitely log on to their account to see if they have any rare old stuff. Keep up the good work, I’ll look forward to a part 3 video if it ever comes.
Really appreciate the kind words! I’m so glad you enjoyed the these videos 😄 I’d love to make a part 3 in the future. Great to know you’re interested in watching it!!
1:50:49 The whole of Khrysalis is absolutely metal as fuck. It's worth noting too that in part 1 there's a companion that follows you around for the first half, Dyvim Whitehart, who later gets attacked and thrown out of a window by one of the queen bee's minions in arguably one of the most violent and unexpected cutscenes I've seen in this game, followed by a quest involving you fending off his dying body on the ground from an onslaught of more wasps. A surprisingly brutal and tense sequence of events in a game that for the most part presents itself as a light-hearted kids wizard adventure game but I'm honestly all for it. I instantly fell in love with the general atmosphere of Khrysalis primarily for how different it felt from the rest of the 2nd arc in terms of its tone and stakes, and even artistically it remains as my favorite world in the game. Outside of that I was also surprised to see that you didn't mention in either video of multiple quest names throughout the game ALSO being references to song names. The most notable imo being the Azteca quests "The Hand That Feeds," "With Teeth," and "Underneath It All," two of them being references to the band Nine Inch Nails' 2005 album With Teeth, and the third being a reference to a song off of their 1999 album The Fragile. Would have been a fun little addition to see but, either way, this was a fantastic video and somewhat of a trip down memory lane for me too as someone who has been playing this game on and off since 2010/2011. I'm elated to see wiz's audience for the most part grow up with the game itself, resulting in us getting quality wiz content like this in 2024.
Thank you for the very insightful comment! 🙂 I agree - I wish KI would make more worlds have a darker theme like Khrysalis. And given how much the playerbase has grown up, I don’t think it would be an issue at all. Also interesting point about all the song related quest titles! Awesome stuff. I appreciate your kind words. Glad you’re enjoying my videos. Hope to see you around my comment section again!
Freakin LOVE your iceberg vids dude!! Me and my bro just watched them back to back and it kept us very entertained. Turns out, we actually have access to that lost celestia prequest dungeon on two of our wizards and we’re gonna do a video showing it off!! Definitely gonna mention you for how we learnt about it lol. HOPEFULLY WE CAN SEE THE ELDRITCH TOWER SOMEDAY AGAIN!!
i actually have the frontier dragon mount!! i was super little when i first started playing wiz lol such nice blast to the past from these videos, thank you so much for the hard work to compile these!! we all appreciate it so much, takes us back to a better time 😃
I imagine the ghost sigils were some king of rudimentary early solution to solo instances. The fact that two people get split up makes me feel more like that's the case.
The Burnzilla pet also gave +5% resist back in like 2009 I believe. It came just like the Defender pig but with a Firezilla card. It was only obtained through Best Buys 20$ card, and like the Defender pig, would change (sometimes you'd get a Firezilla, hotzilla, etc.) I had this pet so that's how I know about it lol. This was an awesome video!
@@GladrockerIf you look up on the Wizard101 forums, a person vaguely mentions their Burnzilla +5% pet and how they got it. The post is from like 2010 and it's called "Leveling my Burnzilla to 9%" or something. But the pet just came with the talent like the defender pig way before training
This video is just as fantastic as the first iceberg video. Thank you so much for dedicating so much time and effort towards this, it really gave me a sense of nostalgia and also some new information that I didn't know! Looking forward to part 3 :)
Just ordered a Storm hoodie from the new merch store AND you posted another iceberg? Excellent week for W101 :) (Also it’s nice to see how active in your comments you are. You’re doing great!)
Interestingly enough, there’s a quest in Azteca where you literally kill one of the bosses. It’s called “Cold Dead Hands”. The dialogue after winning the basically says you’ll have to pry a badge from the enemy’s dead hands, and there lies a dinosaur corpse. Thought it was an interesting observation after watching the Khrysalis “Kill” badge section.
I love seeing wiz content around! Especially these icebergs since there’s soooo much to the game but personally it’s been hard finding TH-cam videos about its lore. Thank you!! Absolutely love these. Brings back so many memories of my childhood seeing these things I remember again or have missed being taken out, etc.
I started playing wizard101 back in 2010-2011 when I was 7-8 years old with my friends, but I never got a membership since I didn't even think about asking my parents to give me money for a game (looking back at it Im sure they would have gave it to me). This game became such a core memory to me, then about 2 years ago, I made a new account (and found my old one😅) got a membership and finished the game. It was such a wild ride and even at 18 years old I was just as excited to hop on the game as I was when I was a kid. The community is great, since it's mostly people in their 20's now, very supportive and ready to help you quest, pvp or just hang around. I made friends, I learned a lot about the meta, gear, pet hatching, seen the worlds I never got to see as a non member kid, and healed my heart😅. Much love to y'all!
That’s great you have so many amazing memories from playing the game! And it’s awesome you were able to finally go back and play through all the worlds at 18 years old. It really is a special game! So glad you enjoyed watching the video 😄🙌
this vid is one of the best wiz vids i've ever seen made so much fun facts and quirks of our beloved wizard101 I hope to see you on that wiz grind soon keep it up! :D
I know I’m 3 weeks late to this video, but just finished it today. Bro this is the type of content I love to see on TH-cam. People just putting in all their effort and truly making the videos they want to make. Keep it up
I had a wizard101 "boyfriend" growing up in 2010-11 and he would always give me rare spell cards and teleport to me to help me in battles.. treated me better than any irl man fr...
This and your previous iceberg has got be the most detailed, most well put together and thought out Wizard101 iceberg I ever seen, man. It'd be nice to see you do Wizard101 lore content too, that'd be pretty sweet! Keep up the great work, Gladrocker!
surprised people had a problem with roleplaying calling themselves omnipotent yet are fine with roleplaying as wizard, using magic and summoning monsters which is also biblically condemned.. And there's even a part in Mooshu where you have to show reverence to the Muddha the equivelent of the Buddha
What a unique and amazing video, once more!!! Full of subjects of interest, things that made us laugh, wonder, get suspicious or even get mad at certain times... Such an oasis of pure love for the game away from the usual drama that's been bugging the game recently. Thank you!!!
Meowdy! You requested I speak, and thus I must... I'm a player who started mid-2009 (checked my account and it says July 2, 2009, exactly) and have been playing on and off for years. I have the storm beetle and while I would be eligible for many, many, many anniversary rewards... I always miss them! I think my biggest issue with the anniversaries is not being able to claim stuff when the next one rolls around that you've earned in the last ones. :/ I digress! I have a massive fantasy palace (I actually still have the physical card!) and I was one of those party renters lol. I prided myself on a really well decorated castle and I'd see a hundred or so wizards running around it and it was my favorite as a kid. I enjoy decorating in games to this day because of it! I haven't finished the vid yet (god, I've only just begun) but if I see anything else you mention that I have/have done, I'll make sure to edit my comment lol. Oh and that obsidian chest quest SUCKED dude. I'm so happy they fixed it. :'D
Ahh loved reading this comment! Super awesome you’ve been part of the community for so long! Oh noo that’s too bad about the anniversary rewards 😭 But hey at least you’ve got the storm beetle by your side! That alone makes me jealous haha. And it’s awesome you were one of the original party house renters 🤣 so cool! yes if anything else comes up let me know!
I wouldn’t say mature things aren’t a thing anymore. Some guy messaged me looking for weird pictures for crown shop items. He gave me the items first, and I blocked him. It’s his fault for tryna get weird photos from me, I have no remorse I just hope he learned his lesson and didn’t harass anyone else.
Hello! I started playing in December 2008. Only 8 minutes in the video, and on the Storm Beetle pet. The 101 crowns Storm Beetle at Zeke was a huge moment and everyone was excited. Man how simple everything was. Anyways, there was no way for them to give you anything player base wide. The crowns shop got added which took all the crowns items vendors (normal vendors in shopping districts in each world + Zeke) and put them all in the crowns shop. Later on, they changed crowns items to give NEGATIVE stats. Only time I ever saw it, and it was short lived before it was changed. I don't believe items were retired, they were changed. For example there were crowns only boots in the oasis by the clothing vendor near the Krokotopia Library that gave (I believe) negative pip and school specific resist But anyways, that's a whole era on its own that not many people know about because not many of us originals are still around to tell it. But yes, giving everyone 101 crowns and having storm beetle at prospector Zeke (who was in olde town either near baldur & grizzleheim ship before he was there or triton alley grassways. I forget. Pretty sure where baldur is.) But it was WELL known storm beetle was at Zeke. That's the ONLY way they could've given everyone the pet at the time. Starting with crowns shop player wide gifts were available
That’s amazing you have such wonderful memories of early wizard101. I would’ve loved to have been a part of the community back then. Thank you for all the information - this is all very interesting!
anyone here have a marked location to get behind the counter in the bazaar or up top on the platform in the hatchery? i used to be able to do the eliks edge glitch but it doesnt work anymore since they changed it around and it doesnt work for the ones i want to get to. ill pay in emps or an elucidate
I just found you and binged this video and part 1 I also ended up finding a storm beetle in my bank that was ancient, it made me sad because my first wiz I ever made was a storm and now that I’m 170 I wanna get it to mega/ultra and have fun and catch up :)
I really appreciate you saying that 😄 And I’ve been playing wizard101 since 2011, but i only started getting into the community (social media, forums, etc) within recent years
I still have my same original account from when I was a kid and I checked my shared bank and there was a storm beetle! I have no clue how I had gotten it originally but he was there! Moved him to my newest storm wizard! I never would’ve known it was a rare pet without this video so thanks!
I have the storm beetle , always thought it is very common and worthless, now I remember getting it from one of those promotions, because a never had money for a membership so I did all the free codes.
this game seems to have a trend of KI slipping up, players taking advantage of KI mistakes, then the ones that didn't get to, or where to scared to, ending up salty... therefore ruining it for the people who took the risk XD
Your last iceberg a year ago inspired to me to get back on wiz after a 8 year break. (Started in ‘09) Glad to see another iceberg. I got the storm beetle, Selena, commemorative statue, and can access the celestia prequest still. I guess I sold my pioneer mount cause I can’t find it 😢. And I completely forgot about the treant transformation 😂
@@Gladrocker and so are your vids!! already an hour 30 mins into this :) super cool. im a veteran player of wiz, so i greatly appreciate videos like this! especially so well put together
Yooo. This is awesome!!! Glad to see some of the things I remember as a kid talked about now. What a wild ride. I actually can’t believe it’s been 14 years since I started playing. Wild ride. +1 sub! Want to see more
You kept asking if I had this or that rare item but I must come clean that I’ve never even touched this game and heard about it only this year. That being said, very good video & it still keeps my interest
Best 2 hours of youtube content you will find
really appreciate it 🙏🙏
agreed
Defo some great wiz content.
Agreed

LOL that’s very true. This game really does get dark!
the dead friends one hit hard. when i was a kid i played the game a ton with my cousin, he was the one who got me into it. he tragically passed away very young in 2020. always makes me sad to see that minion in place of his character in my friends list. i always wished KI would keep the character models in the friends list no matter how long its been since they logged on but i'm sure theres a reason for it
i’m so sorry to hear that :( it’s nice you’ll always have amazing memories of playing with him though, that’ll last forever. And agreed, i wish they kept the models too.
Yeah instead of getting to see my sister's old character all I get is a wizard doll stand in. It's sad.
It’s great that all the Make-A-Wish players were added in meaningful ways that give good rewards
Daniel gives cool wands
Brandon gives great treasure cards
Allen gives the fourth potion
Blaze introduced team up and sells the badge rewards for it
Also, we do kill Malistaire at the end of Dragonspyre.
Agreed 😄 and good point. completely forgot! 😅
and then we kill malistaire AGAIN at darkmoore after he survives flying off into space on a comet in azteca
OMG! It's so crazy to see Blaze here! You should have seen the Twitter community back during those times! Fun fact: Blaze got unjustly muted for 10 YEARS when a hacker took over his account! He would only talk through Twitter DMs when he played LOL
REALLY? That’s insane! didn’t know that - wish i was around the community back then hahaha
as someone who indeed bought 40 hobgoblins off the crowns shop during the incident, i indeed do still have them
LOLLLL

In-game wedding, parties and other RP is among some of my dearing childhood memories. Those were extremely fun. The trend died down in about 2013-14. People started growing up and got bored of it
good times 🥲

Ahhh the good old days where we’d stand in the commons and say “I need a girl” or “I need a boy”, and then you’d get a partner. Then if you got married and “had children” you’d go to the commons and put out an application for a child 😭😭 So incredibly cringe but wow, this game was amazing and had such a great community.
LOL i didn’t know about the child thing
tbh if disney bought KI, then they'd shut it down just like club penguin. cause they are a mega-corp that have way too much money, and still don't care about what people really want.
That’s a fair point!
I'm Polish for context.
Baba Yaga in the mythology stories I've heard; kidnaps misbehaving children, eats/cooks babies, but also can help you if you are benevolent.
Also, I agree that Khrysalis is completely the darkest world. It reminds me very much of WWII. There are a lot of parallels between them. It's terrifying but makes for good story.
Ooh great point! Didn’t know that about Baba Yaga, regarding mythology stories.
And oh yeah - khrysalis is super dark! agreed.
@Gladrocker Thank you for the heart! I really appreciate all the effort you put into this video, it was amazing! ❤🎩🪄
You’re very welcome. That makes me so happy to hear! 🙌
Just logged onto Wiz to confirm I have the storm beetle. I do, but who would’ve known 7 year old me grinding grub guardian for rewards would’ve gotten me such a rare pet 💀
that’s awesome hahah i’m jealous 😂
10 bands right now
Hey that's me at 50:17 !! Some context for that tweet, I never did the exploit, was only mocking how people who did got only a temporary suspension and nothing more. At the end of the day it was KI's fault for allowing all of that to unfold and those second chance rerolls costed crowns which is probably why they didn't permanently ban players who did it. ANOTHER EXCELLENT ICEBERG, THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS TYPE OF CONTENT! Will be waiting for part 3!!
Hahaha awesome seeing you here! And oh thanks for clarifying, i actually did interpret your tweet as sarcasm / mocking the real exploiters 😂 Agreed - absolutely KI’s fault. They need to test their game more, it’s pretty ridiculous. And thank you so much! 🙌 Really appreciate the kind words
Dude your first iceberg video got me back into the game after being inactive for 2 years and now I have all 7 wizards maxed out, thank you for these icebergs
Aye! That’s awesome man 😂 nice job!!
I was cry laughing at the Ocean TitanDisaster lmaooo
🤣🤣
Storm Beetle owner here. Don't remember how or when I got it, but I just redownloaded Wizard101 and there it was. Love these Iceberg videos, they have gotten me to play this again, keep up the amazing work :)
thanks so much! :)
Dell has always been my favorite voice actor for wizard101. May she rest in peace. ❤❤

On squatting, you can see other players doing it. Many many years ago I used to ask teammates how they do it and they didn't even know they were squatting.
1:21:20 the second Old Grizzleheim runic alphabet on Legends of the Spiral is actually wrong. A player named Bowl of Wyrms does a ton of Spiral language stuff, and they figured out that Old Grizzleheim uses capital and lowercase letters. The translator tool only has 5 capital letters instead of the full alphabet, which is on Bowl of Wyrms’ website
Ahh very good information. Thank you for clarifying!
It's been so long since I logged onto my original account for this game, after Wizard101 went on Steam I primarily began playing over there again when i picked it up again.
I'm Twenty Two now, however when I first started playing i was maybe like Eight or Nine, not too sure on the age. But I DO still have the Frontier Dragon Mount and the Auric Dragon Statue on my old account, not only this but I still have the Selena Gomez Statue and Portrait from when there was that promotional stunt back in the day, oh man, such good times.
Awesome! 😄 That’s super cool you have such rare items on your account. I’m jealous haha

This video is a gem for W101 community. I retired long ago from game (like 4/5 years ago) I don't want come back because I fell the game is become really pay to win(especially the pvp part with the spellement thing which I have enjoy the most while I played back on the days),but I still enjoy watch some content from yt about this game and I have aquired ton of informations and things that I don't even know before from this game. So ty for the work to find all of this, you for sure deserve something by the game for the video!!!
Aww thanks so much for the kind words! Means a lot! I totally understand leaving the game because of its increasing pay to win nature. It’s too bad the game’s headed in that direction. But thanks so much again - and KI actually did give me a little something for my content creation. They made my in-game name green instead of the regular blue, so it stands out. It was a nice gesture from them! :)
Heather the wizard took the shit out of me she was scary asf 💀
1:49:00 And theres also that time the wizard actually just kills the boss Acampi Reedfist and prys the badge of leadership from his "cold dead hands" in the dungeon Deepest Mine in Azteca
Hahaha I completely forgot about that. Wow that is super dark. I do like when the storywriters delve into darker subject matter though. it makes the game more interesting
@@Gladrocker AND the death boss in Tierra de Brea, Ezhua Bad Taste, threatens to wash his mouth with our blood. I LOVE the dialogue in Khrysalis and Azteca so much!
wow!! 😭 that doesn’t sound like good mouthwash 🤣
@@Gladrocker For the record, Acampi Reedfist was already undead. The Wizard didn't kill him - they actually referenced that in the quest. He tells the Wizard "You'll have to pry it from my cold, dead hands... oh, wait."
Edit: It's worth noting that the Wizard has canonically killed people in the past. Malisstaire specifically comes to mind. Before that, there's Krokhotep.
Hi! I'm a friend of AnonW101DiskBuyer and I showed this to them. Of course, they since made the disk public like you saw in the Reddit post. They really appreciated seeing it.
Also, on the thought of Pokémon, interestingly, the chat filter permits people to mention the names of 3 Pokémon, Abra, Kadabra, and Alakazam. I could buy Alakazam being a coincidence, since, well, this IS a game about magic and people could say something like that when they use a spell or something. Abra and Kadabra though, I just don't find it that likely to be a coincidence. I haven't tried other Pokémon names (and there's literally over 1000 now, I don't have the time or resources to try every single name, that's just something I did for fun).
Also also, another thing I know I mentioned on Reddit, but if you do a part 3, I'd love to see how you cover the friendly players that serve as teleport pads, like Tabitha Winterheart in the Bazaar, Samantha in the Pet Pavilion, Kane Rainbowbane in the Drains (near the Abandoned House instance), Brittany Soulmender near the potion vendor, and so on.
Hey there! Thanks for showing AnonW101DiskBuyer 😄 Im glad both of you enjoyed and appreciated the vid! And yes - i love the friendly player teleport pad topic. I’ll be sure to cover that. Also great info about pokemon! If you think of anything else please let me know! Feel free to twitter dm or discord message as well!
Abra and Kadabra are named after the Abracadabra spell magicians used in their acts. Or maybe it was a single magician that popularized the phrase, I'm not sure.
That would explain their specific names being included in the white list.
This was some serious dedication to have found all this crazy stuff looking through all the update notes and everything, especially when they are so hard to look through efficiently. Well done mate!
Ayee thanks so much! Yeah, the research was a struggle haha. glad you enjoyed the vid!
Found my way back to W101 recently and found your video by coincidence. Super crazy to see Allan get mentioned in this, he was my brother and we had a great time visiting KI all those years ago.
Wow! I am so glad you happened to come across my video. Nice to meet you, and welcome back to W101 :) I loved learning all about Allan’s experiences with Wizard101 while making this video. He was an amazing person, and is missed by all. 🙏
I come across your brothers character in khrysalis last night and started reading up about his experience, I was very touched by your brothers story. It warms my heart to see his memory immortalised in the game.
24:24 i have the frontier dragon mount because my brother forced me to play the game the year it came out haha im so glad i did, such fond memories
ayee your brother was looking out for you 😂
I've never played the game, watched any other youtuber talk about it, or read anything or knew anyone that played this game more then 2 hours. But damn, you make this interesting and I would watch many more of these ice burg videos, you just make it intriguing. I hope you get more traction it's all genuinely interesting
Aww thanks so much! That genuinely makes me very happy to hear. So glad you enjoyed the video. I really appreciate your support!
I played a long time ago as a young kid but haven't played in probably at least 8 years. But I've watched the previous iceberg video many times and now this one will go into my rotation lol. I love long videos that go super in depth on stuff.
Aww love to hear that! I appreciate your support! :)
Not only was content of this video just as excellent and top quality as part 1, but the formatting of how you reranked the tiers of conspiracy into the already the existing iceberg was a very cool touch. It’s little things like that that elevate a video from excellent to almost perfect. Great work as always. Gladrocker is one of the best wiz TH-camrs out there
Really appreciate your kind words! So glad you enjoyed watching the video :)
I saw you in the commons the other day! You were super nice to everyone! I love this kinda of videos hoping to see more in the future!
No wayy! That was such a fun time, hanging with you all in the commons haha. You’ll definitely see me there more often :) Thanks so much for the kind words! Glad you enjoy the video! 😄
Gladrocker do more of those wizard101 ambience musics and continue these videos too! Please promise me this your videos are insanely good!
Oooh I’ve actually been meaning to make another slow + reverb wiz music compilation for a while now. That’s on my to-do list! Never like making 100% promises though because sometimes other priorities come up 😭 but yeah most likely at some point i will! And thanks for the kind words - much appreciated!!
2:32 holy shit i havent played w101 for 2 years but wanted something to watch in the background while i was doing work from home and seeing my video for one in a million from a long time ago was a total shock to me. Great video!
Oh hey it’s you! 😄 That’s awesome you stumbled across my vid. i’m so glad you enjoyed it, and that was certainly some great one in a million footage haha!
as someone who played in 2009 its so refreshing and nostalgic to hear about all the old stuff 🙏🏽 ty for the video!
you’re welcome bro thanks so much for watching! 🙏🙏
Incredibly made video Glad!! Enjoyed every minute of it! I hope theres a part 3 sometime :) 10/10
Aww thanks Pluto! So glad you enjoyed it! And oh I’m sure there will be 😉
I absolutely loved your first iceberg! I'm so glad you made this!!
aw thanks so much!! hope you enjoy this one even more 🙌
The amount of work and time you put into these videos is amazing!!
means a lot! 😁🙏
Dang, watched this and just realized that my storm beetle pet is super rare😂
yep it really is 😂😂
I watched part 1 when it first came out, I just got this video on my recommended. I enjoyed watching this video just as much as the first . I hope you make a part 3. I’ve been playing the game for over 10 years now and I’m fascinated about the stuff you covered in the video from before my time and even afterwards that I wasn’t aware of. My dad and older brother played the game the year it came out, so I definitely log on to their account to see if they have any rare old stuff. Keep up the good work, I’ll look forward to a part 3 video if it ever comes.
Really appreciate the kind words! I’m so glad you enjoyed the these videos 😄 I’d love to make a part 3 in the future. Great to know you’re interested in watching it!!
1:50:49 The whole of Khrysalis is absolutely metal as fuck. It's worth noting too that in part 1 there's a companion that follows you around for the first half, Dyvim Whitehart, who later gets attacked and thrown out of a window by one of the queen bee's minions in arguably one of the most violent and unexpected cutscenes I've seen in this game, followed by a quest involving you fending off his dying body on the ground from an onslaught of more wasps. A surprisingly brutal and tense sequence of events in a game that for the most part presents itself as a light-hearted kids wizard adventure game but I'm honestly all for it. I instantly fell in love with the general atmosphere of Khrysalis primarily for how different it felt from the rest of the 2nd arc in terms of its tone and stakes, and even artistically it remains as my favorite world in the game.
Outside of that I was also surprised to see that you didn't mention in either video of multiple quest names throughout the game ALSO being references to song names. The most notable imo being the Azteca quests "The Hand That Feeds," "With Teeth," and "Underneath It All," two of them being references to the band Nine Inch Nails' 2005 album With Teeth, and the third being a reference to a song off of their 1999 album The Fragile. Would have been a fun little addition to see but, either way, this was a fantastic video and somewhat of a trip down memory lane for me too as someone who has been playing this game on and off since 2010/2011. I'm elated to see wiz's audience for the most part grow up with the game itself, resulting in us getting quality wiz content like this in 2024.
Thank you for the very insightful comment! 🙂 I agree - I wish KI would make more worlds have a darker theme like Khrysalis. And given how much the playerbase has grown up, I don’t think it would be an issue at all. Also interesting point about all the song related quest titles! Awesome stuff.
I appreciate your kind words. Glad you’re enjoying my videos. Hope to see you around my comment section again!
This game is one of the most nostalgic pieces of media in my life and it brings me so much joy to see it talked about and enjoyed to this day
I’m so glad you enjoy the video 😄
Freakin LOVE your iceberg vids dude!! Me and my bro just watched them back to back and it kept us very entertained. Turns out, we actually have access to that lost celestia prequest dungeon on two of our wizards and we’re gonna do a video showing it off!! Definitely gonna mention you for how we learnt about it lol.
HOPEFULLY WE CAN SEE THE ELDRITCH TOWER SOMEDAY AGAIN!!
Aye!! That makes me so happy to hear 🙌 And that’s awesome you’ll be making your own video. Best of luck! 😎
i actually have the frontier dragon mount!! i was super little when i first started playing wiz lol such nice blast to the past from these videos, thank you so much for the hard work to compile these!! we all appreciate it so much, takes us back to a better time 😃
Aw i’m so happy to hear you enjoyed the vid! And ahh i’m jealous you have that mount 😂 Amazing!
This video made me, cry, laugh, scared, and feel nostalgic all in 2 hours. It’s a cinematic marvel honestly.
It’s an experience! Haha thank you :)
@@Gladrocker ur tha goat

Y’all have no idea how much I wanted the frontier dragon mount. I would’ve given my soul for one 😭😭
Aww did you start playing the game after the window for it? Or were you eligible and forgot to log on and claim it? 😭
@@Gladrocker unfortunately, I started playing in either 2011 or 2012 I think it was 😭😭

Yes hahaha i remember you! That’s too funny 😂 nice seeing you again!
I’m so glad this became a series and I’m really hoping for a part 3 in the future,please keep up the good content and these iceberg videos👏
thanks so much! 🙌
I imagine the ghost sigils were some king of rudimentary early solution to solo instances. The fact that two people get split up makes me feel more like that's the case.
Yeah that’s a really good point!
The Burnzilla pet also gave +5% resist back in like 2009 I believe. It came just like the Defender pig but with a Firezilla card. It was only obtained through Best Buys 20$ card, and like the Defender pig, would change (sometimes you'd get a Firezilla, hotzilla, etc.) I had this pet so that's how I know about it lol. This was an awesome video!
2009?
@@user-hx3ko7vj4y it was around that time maybe 2010. I remember it was during the time you could not train pets
Wow! This is super useful knowledge. I’ll have to look more into it! Awesome, thanks for telling me :)
@@GladrockerIf you look up on the Wizard101 forums, a person vaguely mentions their Burnzilla +5% pet and how they got it. The post is from like 2010 and it's called "Leveling my Burnzilla to 9%" or something. But the pet just came with the talent like the defender pig way before training
Ooo this is helpful! Thanks Comocha 😁
Lets gooo 🔥part 2!
Thank you Gladrocker for the great content
you’re welcome! 😎🙌 hope you enjoy!!
This video is just as fantastic as the first iceberg video. Thank you so much for dedicating so much time and effort towards this, it really gave me a sense of nostalgia and also some new information that I didn't know! Looking forward to part 3 :)
Aw i’m so glad you hear you enjoyed the vid 🙌 that makes me very happy! and you’re welcome 😄
Great video. Your ability to storytell is solid, and I love that you gave credit to people when appropriate. Keep up the great, hard work!
Really appreciate the kind words :) Thank you!
Didn’t realize I was apart of so much history playing between 2008 and 2013. I hung out a lot in the chat rooms and knew every exploit
I remember when I heard that she passed away, it got me back into playing wiz again
Just ordered a Storm hoodie from the new merch store AND you posted another iceberg? Excellent week for W101 :)
(Also it’s nice to see how active in your comments you are. You’re doing great!)
Aw thanks so much! Appreciate the kind words! 🙌 and yes BIG week for the game hahaha
Interestingly enough, there’s a quest in Azteca where you literally kill one of the bosses. It’s called “Cold Dead Hands”. The dialogue after winning the basically says you’ll have to pry a badge from the enemy’s dead hands, and there lies a dinosaur corpse. Thought it was an interesting observation after watching the Khrysalis “Kill” badge section.
Oh wow! That’s very interesting (and disturbing 😂)! Thanks for sharing that fact with me
I love seeing wiz content around! Especially these icebergs since there’s soooo much to the game but personally it’s been hard finding TH-cam videos about its lore. Thank you!! Absolutely love these. Brings back so many memories of my childhood seeing these things I remember again or have missed being taken out, etc.
I started playing wizard101 back in 2010-2011 when I was 7-8 years old with my friends, but I never got a membership since I didn't even think about asking my parents to give me money for a game (looking back at it Im sure they would have gave it to me). This game became such a core memory to me, then about 2 years ago, I made a new account (and found my old one😅) got a membership and finished the game. It was such a wild ride and even at 18 years old I was just as excited to hop on the game as I was when I was a kid. The community is great, since it's mostly people in their 20's now, very supportive and ready to help you quest, pvp or just hang around. I made friends, I learned a lot about the meta, gear, pet hatching, seen the worlds I never got to see as a non member kid, and healed my heart😅. Much love to y'all!
That’s great you have so many amazing memories from playing the game! And it’s awesome you were able to finally go back and play through all the worlds at 18 years old. It really is a special game! So glad you enjoyed watching the video 😄🙌

surprised people had a problem with roleplaying calling themselves omnipotent yet are fine with roleplaying as wizard, using magic and summoning monsters which is also biblically condemned.. And there's even a part in Mooshu where you have to show reverence to the Muddha the equivelent of the Buddha
Yeah agreed. And good point!

the fact that you created AN ENTIRE NEW ICEBERG is insane bravo this is the amazing high quailty content ive been starving for.
Thank you so much tyler! Means a lot! So glad you loved it! 😄
What a unique and amazing video, once more!!! Full of subjects of interest, things that made us laugh, wonder, get suspicious or even get mad at certain times... Such an oasis of pure love for the game away from the usual drama that's been bugging the game recently. Thank you!!!

I'm a player who started mid-2009 (checked my account and it says July 2, 2009, exactly) and have been playing on and off for years. I have the storm beetle and while I would be eligible for many, many, many anniversary rewards... I always miss them! I think my biggest issue with the anniversaries is not being able to claim stuff when the next one rolls around that you've earned in the last ones. :/ I digress!
I have a massive fantasy palace (I actually still have the physical card!) and I was one of those party renters lol. I prided myself on a really well decorated castle and I'd see a hundred or so wizards running around it and it was my favorite as a kid. I enjoy decorating in games to this day because of it!
I haven't finished the vid yet (god, I've only just begun) but if I see anything else you mention that I have/have done, I'll make sure to edit my comment lol. Oh and that obsidian chest quest SUCKED dude. I'm so happy they fixed it. :'D
Ahh loved reading this comment! Super awesome you’ve been part of the community for so long! Oh noo that’s too bad about the anniversary rewards 😭 But hey at least you’ve got the storm beetle by your side! That alone makes me jealous haha. And it’s awesome you were one of the original party house renters 🤣 so cool! yes if anything else comes up let me know!
Love these iceberg videos. Og storm beetle holder btw, i didnt even realize that i had played w101 so early into its lifespan until i watched these.
lmaoo that’s awesome! you’re an og 🙌
Is anyone gonna mention that he's using Liriks photo when they were talking about Blaze Lifehammer 😂
Oops 😂
Such a cozy video 😊
:)
I wouldn’t say mature things aren’t a thing anymore. Some guy messaged me looking for weird pictures for crown shop items. He gave me the items first, and I blocked him. It’s his fault for tryna get weird photos from me, I have no remorse I just hope he learned his lesson and didn’t harass anyone else.
Hello! I started playing in December 2008. Only 8 minutes in the video, and on the Storm Beetle pet. The 101 crowns Storm Beetle at Zeke was a huge moment and everyone was excited. Man how simple everything was. Anyways, there was no way for them to give you anything player base wide. The crowns shop got added which took all the crowns items vendors (normal vendors in shopping districts in each world + Zeke) and put them all in the crowns shop. Later on, they changed crowns items to give NEGATIVE stats. Only time I ever saw it, and it was short lived before it was changed. I don't believe items were retired, they were changed. For example there were crowns only boots in the oasis by the clothing vendor near the Krokotopia Library that gave (I believe) negative pip and school specific resist
But anyways, that's a whole era on its own that not many people know about because not many of us originals are still around to tell it. But yes, giving everyone 101 crowns and having storm beetle at prospector Zeke (who was in olde town either near baldur & grizzleheim ship before he was there or triton alley grassways. I forget. Pretty sure where baldur is.) But it was WELL known storm beetle was at Zeke. That's the ONLY way they could've given everyone the pet at the time. Starting with crowns shop player wide gifts were available
That’s amazing you have such wonderful memories of early wizard101. I would’ve loved to have been a part of the community back then. Thank you for all the information - this is all very interesting!

I also ended up finding a storm beetle in my bank that was ancient, it made me sad because my first wiz I ever made was a storm and now that I’m 170 I wanna get it to mega/ultra and have fun and catch up :)
awesome! so glad you found my channel! 🙌 and hahaha yes, train that pet! :)
You legit make some of the best Wiz content out there its so good, you said u weren't apart of the community back then when did u get into Wiz
I really appreciate you saying that 😄 And I’ve been playing wizard101 since 2011, but i only started getting into the community (social media, forums, etc) within recent years
I still have my same original account from when I was a kid and I checked my shared bank and there was a storm beetle! I have no clue how I had gotten it originally but he was there! Moved him to my newest storm wizard! I never would’ve known it was a rare pet without this video so thanks!
Wow!! That’s amazing you have one! I’m jealous 😂
I have the storm beetle , always thought it is very common and worthless, now I remember getting it from one of those promotions, because a never had money for a membership so I did all the free codes.
Just dug through all 6 of my old wizards backpacks to find the storm beetle! I feel so cool having one :)
awesome!! 😄
I am very grateful to be one of the lucky owners of a Frontier Dragon mount 🙏. It's the rarest item I have for sure!!
That’s amazing!! 😄
this game seems to have a trend of KI slipping up, players taking advantage of KI mistakes, then the ones that didn't get to, or where to scared to, ending up salty... therefore ruining it for the people who took the risk XD
that’s a good way to put it 😂
Your last iceberg a year ago inspired to me to get back on wiz after a 8 year break. (Started in ‘09) Glad to see another iceberg. I got the storm beetle, Selena, commemorative statue, and can access the celestia prequest still. I guess I sold my pioneer mount cause I can’t find it 😢. And I completely forgot about the treant transformation 😂
Aww that’s awesome to hear. Glad you’re back on wiz! And wow, super cool you have so many rare items!
