  1. Hello everyone,
  2. This is a very difficult message for me to share, but I feel it’s important to be brave and speak my truth. I am known as “Megalit” in Iskall85’s Vault Hunters (VH) community—a nickname he gave me years ago. However, I no longer want to be associated with that name or identity.
  3. For those who don’t know me, I’ve been part of Iskall’s community for four years. During that time, I supported his Vault Hunters modpack both financially and creatively. In fact, some of the ideas implemented—such as the "Bingo Vault" in Update 15—were mine, something Iskall himself has acknowledged.
  4. Unfortunately, I recently discovered that I, along with others, was taken advantage of by Iskall. What’s most troubling is not only the manipulation itself but also the fact that it occurred while he was in a long-term relationship. What began as casual conversations turned into flirtation, then sexting, and even sharing personal photos. As a single mother, I had been transparent with him about my life’s challenges and asked him not to give me false hope or expectations. He assured me, saying, “My intentions are real.”
  5. Looking back now, I realize that his actions weren’t just manipulative—they were emotionally abusive. He knew how to use his words to build trust and make me believe in his sincerity, only to later shatter that trust. It’s heartbreaking to accept that someone I respected and supported could treat me and others in this way.
  6. Iskall is a persuasive individual, and I trusted his words. He even suggested visiting my country and invited me to Paris this January. I declined, but his pattern of behavior is consistent across all victims—similar approaches, similar words.
  7. When I discovered I wasn’t alone, I immediately canceled my Patreon support for Vault Hunters and connected with the other victims. We’ve been completely open and transparent with one another. During these conversations, additional concerning information came to light. Together, we gathered our proof and contacted a member of the Hermitcraft community to bring this situation to light.
  8. In 2024, with the prevalence of AI-generated content and account hacks, it’s understandable that people may doubt our claims. However, we have irrefutable proof that supports everything we’re saying. While I’m not sharing all of it publicly at this time, I can assure you that the evidence reveals a stark contrast between the person Iskall portrays publicly and the reality of his behavior.
  9. This has been a deeply painful experience for all of us involved. Accepting that I, too, was a victim has been incredibly challenging. Recovering from this has taken a significant emotional toll.
  10. I want to thank the Hermitcraft players who have shown unwavering support to us during this difficult time. Just yesterday, I spoke with another victim, and it pains me to say there may be even more out there. This is why I’ve chosen to make this public: you are not alone. If you’re also a victim, please don’t hesitate to reach out. We will ensure your name remains anonymous.
  11. To everyone following this situation, I kindly ask that you respect the privacy and boundaries of all victims. Some may wish to remain anonymous, and their decision should be honored. Please show empathy toward everyone who has been hurt or affected by this.
  12. To everyone who is feeling hurt or saddened by this, I want to remind you that brighter days are ahead. We don’t have to stay in the darkness forever. I hope this statement addresses some of the questions and concerns within the community.
  13. For myself, I will no longer support Iskall in any way. I am heartbroken by what has happened—not just to me, but to everyone else who trusted him.
  14. Thank you for listening.
  15. -Mefallit

    1. Your comment is disrespectful. He did something morally wrong and is facing the consequences of those actions. Plain and simple.

    1. How do you read something about a person in a position of authority being emotionally manipulative and abusive towards people who look up to him, and get mad at cancel culture? Jfc have some self respect.

    1. I'm so sorry Mef. I hate this happened to you and all the other victims. Thank you for your bravery in coming forward like this. I hope other victims can feel as though they have a safe place to come to share their story, either anonymously or not. You have a large group of friends who will always be there for you when needed. <3

      1. Eaglers, it's not woke or far left. You're just in a group that likes protecting the people who do these things. Donald Trump has extremely strong ties to Epstein, they where buddies. And revealing your messages with someone is not a crime you smooth brain idiot. For a party that cross cries "my freedom" so strongly it's funny how quick you are to change your mind when it's a situation that doesn't benefit you. I'm pretty sure even itskull understands that he's squarely in the wrong. You're defending someone from accusations who isn't even defending themself

          1. "you don't have private life you got wokes". Hmm, let's think... Under what administration was the patriot act signed into law? Oh yeah, that was a Republican president who signed that into law. Weird, could have sworn that only the wokes where invading privacy.

            1. i'm not american and I don't care about your 3rd world country and your administration. They revealed private conversation via screenshots to make reputational damage to a person. It's a criminal offense in the EU. I would demolish so called victims in the courts and would ask for 1m euros in compensation.

          1. I haven't heard any accusations of him commiting a crime. It's not about if he's a criminal, it's about if he's a good person who people want to associate with. If someone's acting a fool, they're totally within their right to terminate their relationship with them. Itskull acted a fool and so the hermitcraft group decided to terminate their relationship with him. It's not hard to understand why they wouldn't want someone who's acting so incredibly unprofessional associated with their business. It's not "cancelling" or "cancel culture"

        1. The funniest thing is that moderators delete comments which are not align with your agenda. Nice abuse of powers and no freedom of speech. At least youtube got normal comments section and not moderated by some salty teenagers without personal lives hiding at reddit (Ukranian logo says a lot about pastebin leadership) Btw looks like Iskall was kicked between 14 - 19 november 2024, webarchive.

      1. Why do you sound like EAGLER5 no. 2 lol. Why the vitriol if you have no personal stake on the matter? How is she, who supported Iskall in multiple ways, including financially, the exploiter now? What does she gain? Except sparing other vulnerable fans from being played with and lied to by a guy who, without his platform, wouldn’t be given the time of day by anyone? How can you claim she’s lying with so much confidence and rage, Truthspeaker?

    1. Why no one talkes about evidence? There is no good evidence against Iskall right now, just some words that we must believe to be true. Presented screeenshots are just some of-context mess (why Kasszi cut her replies?). If you worry about kids, so there are a lot of 18+ platforms where you can post your full screenshots. I can't believe your words just because you said so! My opinion can be changed if good evidence is presented, but right now I can only hope that Iskall will be alright, wish him all the best!

      1. Publically posting private sexual/nude media of another person is illegal pretty much universally, with both criminal and civil penalties. Along with laws regarding disclosing intimate images(typically a misdemeanor/delict), posting of these photographs could also constitute as revenge porn. This would make it sexual abuse, a felony/crime.
      2.  
      3. So, to paraphrase your initial response, unless the victims are willing to commit crimes and provide you with naked pictures of Iskall, they can not be, and should not be, believed.
      4.  
      5. To get ahead of a BS response you might have to this, true, you did not explicitly ask that the photos be disclosed, but you did say words were not enough. Since words and pictures are all that are known to exist, you inferred that you need the pictures of Iskall to be satisfied.

        1. By evidence I mean the screenshots of actual full conversation between Iskall and Kasszi, without any private pictures. She statement: "Iskall said this and that", but we never see exactly this words by Iskall on the screenshots, only of-context cuts. I want to see the screenshots were Isall actually saying what he is being accused of.

          1. Being that the victims, the assailant, and the "governing bodies" are all either European or European based, it makes sense they would follow European ideals, which have a high focus on not publicly exposing victims. Exposing victims to the public, instead of to just the parties who actual need to know, cause immense amounts of damage to the victims, as it makes them victims of the public. If your mother/sister/wife was victimized by their employer, should they need to release their private communications to the public in order to file a complaint for being a victim? Or does it make more sense that they would only need to do so to the people who actually have the respect and ability to do anything about it?
          2.  
          3. Why do YOU need to see it?
          4.  
          5. Seriously, ask yourself that question. If you don't trust the unanimous decisions of the HC members and the developers of VH who have seen them, you probably would find more happiness elsewhere. If you really feel Iskall is being victimized, perhaps you can buy your own server and invite all the cancel gamers on to it so they can have a "safe space." Sounds like something you would love and it worked for Elon. Why not you too? Lucky for these canceled individuals and yourself, you're more than free to do so. Lucky for the victims, our opinions doesn't matter.

            1. Why do I need to see it? Well, because I believe we as an audience can't believe someone and judge someone without any proof, I mean, simple screenshots of just these bad words by Iskall will be enough, no private or personal info. And honestly, I can't find any reason not to post them, this is a bit concerning and strange.

      1. Well, he wouldn't have been ejected from hermitcraft for no reason. There was no public outcry before this that pressured the members to make this decision. Whatever they saw and are choosing not to release was substantial enough to terminate their relationship with a longtime friend and coworker. I have faith that the team made a reasonable conclusion based on the info they had. I'm sure it's not a decision they took lightly. Itskull also has not refused any claims as of yet that I'm aware of.

      1. The Hermits and Vault hunters alike, people who actually KNOW Iskall, considered him a friend and co-worker, and interacted with him on a regular basis, have confirmed that they HAVE been given sufficient evidence beyond what has been made available to the general public (which, given the intimate nature of the accusations, is understandable). Not a single one of them has come forward to claim that there's any gray area or room for doubt in what has been shared. That in and of itself IS fairly damning evidence.

    1. This... is deeply disturbing and concerning and I, first of all, will say thank you and good on you for finding the courage to step forward with this. This coming from a member of HermitCraft which so far always seemed to me to be the one relatively drama free corner of the internet...
    2.  
    3. As someone who watched Iskall's streams of VaultHunters too it's hard to have missed such a huge presence in the community. I've recently moved time zones so significantly that I wasn't able to catch any of the streams at all so this news came out of nowhere for me. I can't even begin to imagine the hurt this has caused you or the other people abused. But what I can say is that I hope things are going to improve for you, it sounds to me you've found solid support with each other and solid support in general.
    4.  
    5. Comparatively speaking I'm just a lurker, a tiny viewer in the background so while it's not much, I hope a couple more words in support of you help (and help drown out those in need to be toxic and negative, your feelings are valid and you're right to make your statement).

    1. It's really concerning that this happened, he seemed like such a reasonable and nice person from his videos. I thought I had a good handle on judging people's characters, but I guess that's not always possible to do. Sorry this happened to you :(

    1. Wow I just found out about this since it's not being spoken of on youtube at all. I don't see the problem here. You were consenting and an adult. Claiming people should be allowed to stay anonymous while spouting these claims and defaming a person's career and credibility is an insane take. A woman JUST came out as lying for over 2 decades of being r**ed. She ruined those mens lives. Yet we should believe you with no proof? The best I've seen is a few out of context screenshots from people consenting. Regarding those Kass screenshots - Aside from not getting the same vibe / tone as they insist, at least as far as Aug 26 2023 (after he added her on Skype) he called her sir. Did he even know she was a girl at that point? That's really weird. I was expecting even low level flirting from the other screenshots, but there's NONE. Has anyone read it?? Where is he flirting?? It sounded like he wanted her to speak out if she needed anything and to treat him more like a friend and less like a "sir". She sounds like she deluded herself into believing he wanted to get with her. I was flirted with more seriously than that in middle school.
    2.  
    3. It's also 2024 you don't know if Iskall and his "live-in partner" (as Kass says) had an open arrangement. Whatever happened to innocent until proven guilty? In fact, this is the worst case of slander since trying to have any legal ramifications would be an international mess. What law did Iskall break? If he was any other internet personality would he be getting this pushback? In fact, would any of the girls who reached out to him have done so if he didn't have over a million subscribers? Trying to use people is a two way street. Also genuine question - How did JoeHills meet his wife? She's a long time subscriber on Xisuma's twitch, did she meet Joe through Twitch as well? If so, why is it okay for Joe and not Iskall? In a similar vein, Sims 4 Youtuber Lilsimsie, who has a comparable following and age group base, married her twitch moderator. No one batted an eye. Why is it a problem when Iskall is the one doing it? I feel sympathy for the girls that allegedly got played, but I haven't seen any proof of it and seeing how many times it's come out that people are lying about the situation gives me pause for concern when it's someone's life and career at stake. This feels like a witch hunt. Going to copy and paste this to other places talking about it because I have a sinking suspicion my comments might get hidden/deleted.

      1. This was supposed to be a reply not comment of its own, oops, reposting it here!
      2.  
      3. 2 things:
      4. - Iskall calls/called everyone "sir" and the chatters "Dylan". It's a gender neutral term for the community in general, so no it's not him assuming anyone is any gender.
      5. - consenting adults, yes, sure, but they did not consent to being lied to. From receipts it's clear Iskall has been purposefully dodging and even denying the presence of a partner, leading the victims to believe he's single when he is not. Now whether or not the arrangement with that partner is open or not is of little importance here because it was not agreed upon with the victims that have come out about it. Is it legally wrong? no. It IS however highly unprofessional and an abuse of power as Content Creator over the audience members.
      6.  
      7. furthermore, he's made no statements, no pushback, no denial, just resigned from HC and kept quiet about it, which admittedly sounds like an admission of guilt. now he COULD be taking that time to gather receipts of his own to debunk everything but at this point this seems rather unlikely. Also as for more receipts from the victims, they've left those out as HC attracts a lot of minors and they do not wish to expose minors to explicit content of any form or kind. so keep that in mind, from what it sounds like the Hermits they've reached out to have seen more than what the public knows and have spoken out to confirm these claims to be credible.
      8. So right now, not looking good for Iskall.

    1. Btw I subbed to Iskall and donated to him. Moreover, i'm going to download and play vault haunters for the first time. I was kinda delaying the modpack, but tnx to cancelling culture I will now support the scandinavian. Let's fight together against cancelling culture and let's not bring american agenda into the EU.
