Hypixel Skyblock has a vast expanse of content and mysteries waiting for players to uncover. One such intriguing feature is the Royal Residents, two NPCs tucked away in the heart of the Dwarven Mines. This guide provides a comprehensive overview of these NPCs and the unique interactions players can expect.

Location of Royal Residents

Located in the Dwarven Mines, the Royal Residents can be found in the Royal Quarters. To encounter them:

  1. From the lift operator, go straight and make a right turn.
  2. Pass through the golden-blocked door and cross the bridge.
  3. Ascend to the top of the platform surrounded by tables, NPCs, and Kings.
  4. Venture into the room on your right and proceed upstairs.
  5. In the farthest room, by the bed, you will spot the Royal Resident.

Dialogue and Interactions

Unlike other NPCs, the Royal Residents have a range of unique dialogues that provide both humor and depth. Their statements give a glimpse into their character and role in the Hypixel world:

  • The Royal Resident in the Royal Quarters states, "I don't talk to peasants." On the other hand, another Royal Resident nearby comments on their narcissistic neighbor.
  • In the Garden area, the Royal Resident's first interaction with players is slightly more engaging. They note, "I don't really converse with your kind, but today I'll make an exception." Depending on player choices, their responses can vary from appreciation to outright disappointment.

However, their dialogues take an unexpected turn, especially for those not familiar with certain game references.

The Unique Factor: Breaking the Fourth Wall

The standout trait of the Royal Resident is how they blur the lines between the game and reality, directly addressing the player. They ask questions like "Why do you play this game?" or comment on the player's actions, challenging the player's presence and decisions.

This Resident doesn't stop there. They then venture into a humorous dialogue series involving them transforming into various animals, from cows to sheep, seemingly based on the player's thoughts.

Additionally, the NPC references other popular games. For example, when mentioning the reward of a cake, they quip "the cake is a lie", referencing the game Portal.

An Endless Interaction

One of the most intriguing yet bizarre interactions is when the Royal Resident begins a countdown from 5,000. With simple calculations, this can last almost seven hours, akin to games like "Desert Bus," known for their repetitive, time-consuming tasks.

Determined players who persist through this long countdown are met with a conclusion that's both underwhelming and amusing. The Resident merely asks why the player spent so long clicking, wishes them "sweet dreams", and becomes unresponsive.

Conclusion

The Royal Residents in Hypixel Skyblock offer a mix of humor, intrigue, and challenge. They are not just ordinary NPCs but embody the spirit of games—offering fun, a hint of frustration, and a testament to a player's patience.

For those venturing into the Dwarven Mines, encountering the Royal Residents is a must, even if you're not prepared to click for seven hours straight!
