Table of Contents

After so much anticipation, Hypixel Skyblock received the Nether update yesterday, and the patch notes reveal so many changes!

Hypixel Skyblock fans have been excited for the Nether update for a long time, seeking to find out what new systems and areas would be coming to the game with this update.

  • CHECK THIS OUT: Cerulean Hidden Tear Nerf is a Bug, Will Be Fixed Soon in Elden Ring

Hopefully, the developers didn’t disappoint fans as the new Nether update is a massive content drop with a brand new region, some special gameplay systems like Factions, and a lot of gameplay improvements.

Without further ado, let’s have a look at the Hypixel Skyblock Nether update patch notes.

Hypixel Skyblock Nether Update Patch Notes

Crimson Isle

  • Centuries of eruptions from the Volcano turned this island into this infernal landscape. The island inhabitants regrouped into two opposing factions on each side of the Volcano.
  • The requirement to enter the Crimson Isle is Combat level 24.

Factions

  • The Taika people compose the Mage Faction in Scarleton, while the Piglins are on the opposite side of the island in Dragontail, home of the Barbarian Faction. Somewhere along the questline, you’ll be able to join either of those factions and progress in their respective quests.
  • This update introduces new Quest and NPC mechanics such as improved objective systems, dialogue systems, NPCs moving, and more. Each Faction has its own questline and story for you to play through.
  • On top of that, you will get access to the Town Board of your Faction, giving you Daily Missions. You will need to gain reputation to move up the ranks of your Faction, giving you access to new shop options, better daily missions, and more.
  • Choosing a Faction isn’t a strategy, so feel free to pick whichever fancies you the best. You can always change factions later if you feel like it by talking to Elle. You will need to lose all your current reputation to amend and restore your trust with the other faction before you join them.

Enemies

  • The Crimson Isle is an extremely hostile area with tons of new enemies, and 5 of them stand above the others both in strength and in their reward. Those 5 mini-bosses are known as:
    • Bladesoul: A giant wither skeleton who rules over the stronghold after defeating the strongest of the Blazes in it, now wearing his body as a crown.
    • The Barbarian Duke X: A Piglin who consumed way too much Sulphur and gained immense strength at the cost of his sanity, now ruling over his people on the outskirts of the city.
    • Mage Outlaws: Imbued in their search for power, they got banned from Scarleton and are always up to demonstrate their power to anyone who challenges them.
    • Ashfang: A mighty Blaze that resides behind the wastelands, in the ruins of an old bastion.
    • The Magma Boss: The mightiest of them all… This titan can is found in the magma chamber, in the depth of the Volcano.
  • When defeated, each one of those creatures drops essential material, and each has a chance to drop Kuudra Keys.
  • On top of that, Vanquishers are monsters that rarely spawn when you kill another monster on the island, similar to Special Zealots in the End.
  • Honorable mention to the Matriarch, mother of all Hellwisps. You can find this dreadful creature in the depth of the Volcano. It’s the only way to obtain Heavy Pearls, and it only creates 3 of them every IRL day.

Kuudra

  • Kuudra is the name of a massive lava kraken that appeared on the Crimson Isle. You can access this monstrous anomaly from the Forgotten Skull. It will require you to have completed at least one of the Faction Questlines.
  • There are five tiers of difficulty to this boss fight, but only two will be released today.
  • You will have to make a party to start a fight, as there won’t be matchmaking until a further release.
  • Win or lose, players will be able to open a free chest at the end of each fight. Winning, however, spawns an extra chest that can only be opened using a Kuudra Key.

New Armors

  • The Crimson Armor: An armor perfect for melee DPS that extends the range you can hit enemies from.
  • The Aurora Armor: This mage armor will see some changes in the future. It is closely tied to the Aurora Staff, which you also get from Kuudra.
  • The Terror Armor: This set makes anyone look like a natural-born archer with its devastating passive.
  • The Fervor Armor: Among all the tank armors in SkyBlock, this one rules them all.
  • The Hollow Armor: A support armor that will give interesting choices to the players. (This armor will release at a later date)

Essence Changes

  • Until now, various essences obtained from Dungeons were used to turn items into Dungeon gear and then apply stars on them. From now on, stars will give extra stats not only in Dungeons but instead give 2% additional stats on gear pieces, as opposed to the 10% they still give in Dungeons.
  • On top of that, some of the new armor items in the Crimson Isle can have more than five stars, up to 15 for some of them. But those will require Crimson Essence, obtained from defeating bosses and salvaging nether gear.

Attributes

  • Attributes are a new gear system exclusive to the Crimson Isle.
  • When obtaining a piece of gear on the island, they will spawn with Attributes, which are extra passives. Each Attribute can be fused by simply combining two pieces with similar attributes. You can think of them as extra enchantments in a way. They go all the way to level 10 and, once again, can be fused at the Blacksmith of each Faction.

Equipment

  • For the first time since we initially talked about equipment in our design threads a few months back, we will finally release these 4 new armor pieces (Gauntlet, Necklace, Cloak and Belt) with the Crimson Isle.
  • You can equip them by simply right-clicking them like any other piece of armor, and they can be found in your Profile menu inside the SkyBlock Menu.

Dojo

  • Between the tension between the Mage and Barbarian Faction, one man called Master Tao has dedicated himself to conjuring peace and tranquility within the island. As a martial arts sensei, he has derived his teachings in a handful of tests, open to whoever thinks they are worthy of the Black Belt.

Accessory Bag Changes

  • Moving forward, you will no longer be able to reforge accessories individually anymore; instead, reforges can only be applied to the accessory bag itself using Power Stones.
  • Speaking of precision, you’ll also be able to tune your stats further using the new Tuning System. Every 10 MP will grant you 1 Tuning point, which you can spend on whatever stat you’d like. Accessories will now grant Magical Power (MP) based on their rarity.

Collections

  • Mycelium: This can be obtained in the Mystic March in front of Scarleton
  • Red Sand: Can be shoveled from the Burning Desert.
  • Sulphur: A new magical material emanating from the Volcano during eruptions. It can also be dropped from corrupted mobs.
  • Magmafish: Obtained from Lava Fishing.

Blaze Slayer

  • This 5th slayer category is even more challenging than the Voidgloom. Still, if you are up the task, there are a lot of interesting and gabagool rewards to obtain. This content is best played in the Smoldering Tomb, in the back of the island.
  • The Smoldering Tomb also has large veins of Opal, a new Gemstone.

Lava and Trophy Fishing

  • If you climb your way to the top of the Volcano, you’ll find a little hut where a goblin lives. Odger isn’t very smart, but he’s smart enough to teach you about Trophy Fishing.
  • Trophy Fishes are special Fishes you can only catch by fishing in particular ways. There are 18 of them than can be found in different tiers of quality; find all Diamond Trophy Fishes to unlock all the rewards!

Loot Sharing Improvements

  • The system shares loot with other players if they deal at least 1% of damage to the mob up to a maximum of five players per mob.

Abiphone

  • The mage faction is the inventor and leading producer of the Ability Phones. Abiphones can be used to call various NPCs, but not all NPCs have Abiphones.
  • You can walk to any NPCs compatible with this feature and right-click them with your Abiphone.

Hypixel Skyblock is now available through Minecraft.
