Nightmare Fuel / Shadow of Israphel

• Israphel in general. A...something...with an unnaturally vengeful desire to kill all the Antiochs, who kidnaps kids and corrupts anything and anyone.
• Poor Granny_Bacon being transformed into a zombie by Israphel, and ruthlessly attacking Simon and Lewis while doing The Slow Walk. As if that isn't enough, she becomes more bloody and zombie-like the more damage she takes, until she is entirely green and skinny, with exposed flesh, bones, and a chilling snarl.
• The area under the tree in Shadow of Israphel Episode 29 where Vitali hid the remains of his victims.
  • The descriptions of how he killed the individual Skylords is genuinely terrifying, and is a rare moment where no comedy is inserted. Also the fact that's he's a freakin' vampire.
• The possible Bad Future seen in Shadow of Israphel episode 25.
• Israphel's wiki page on the the Yogwiki has this lovely profile pic.◊
• Rory Rockhammer's flaming transformation into a zombie-thing controlled by Israphel.
• Episode 34. The world is ending in 3 days, 7 hours.
• Episode 35. Discovering that Knight Peculier was this damned close to killing himself and Xephos and Honeydew when they first met. Especially horrific when you think back to how amused Simon and Lewis were to have discovered a village with the archetypical RPG Barkeeper.
  • You remember when Simon and Lewis were suspicious of the milk he gave them at first? They were almost right.
  • The group finding an entire town buried and suffocated under the sands.
• In Episode 36, the last letter cutscene shows a black hand, rising from the sands, and then a wave of sand covering Terrorvale.
  • And we soon, unfortunately, find out what said hand contains. See entry below.
• In Episode 37, Honeydew dies twice. Something about one of the heroes failing so close to the end is pretty unsettling.
• Episode 38. The apocalyptic log given by Enoch, ending with a giant fucking bloodstain. And Israphel won't stop scaring the shit out of you.
  • Enoch going insane and killing the remainder of his party. He kills the first by stabbing them in their sleep, then pushes Scribe_Anno into a radioactive stream.
    • The part right before the bloodstain with Israphel and the audio distortion DID NOT HELP.
    • "Bones...So itchy...Only solution...Is removal...." Dear NOTCH.
  • Peculier's death.
    • Making it even worse is the source of the death. Radioactive lava.
  • "The Sentinels are active".
  • Which makes you wonder. What the HELL are the Sentinels?!
    • According to the episode, the giant hand was buried underneath the sand and was only starting to regenerate AFTER the sand was cleared out of it. Does this mean that Minecraftia has two horrible unnatural abominations (The sand and the black metal/Sentinals) and one is only slightly better than the others!?
  • The giant metal hand growing back by itself.
• Some of the music used is pretty unnerving, such as "Kingdom of Lies."
  • "Off The Deep End" isn't any better.
• Episode 39 is much more comical in comparison to the previous one, but there are still quite a few notable moments:
  • The exploration of the lair eventually reveals the sound of a very disturbing heartbeat.
  • The duo stumble across a cloning facility; as usual the experiment is revealed to have gone wrong, with all future clones going insane, losing most higher brain function and then going Axe-Crazy.
  • To make matters worse, Simon clones himself, which causes him to be trapped and frozen alive for a minute or two.
  • The Evil_Honeydew twin clones are funny, but the pair are basically a demonstration of what Simon would be like if he was evil. The pair take Mad Bomber to the extreme, have very twisted and deranged speech patterns and nearly destroy entire sections of the relic twice. And while one was taken down, the other is still wandering free.
