## Transcript

We're back at it. Death 39. 40. 40 feels
like high.
You know, we're in the 40s.
[sighs]
Is 40 over the hill? Is that what they
call that? I think it is. Let's get into
it. Um, no way. I don't think I've ever
spawned underground before.
That's weird.
Wait, it's actually is troll cuz I need
to get out. I need to dig out
to get a tree.
I don't know if I've ever actually been
underground on a spawn before until now.
Okay, we're we're like not that far from
land anyway. This is fine. I think this
is my first underground spawn, though.
There's some crazy RNG spawns. Yeah, I
guess so. Hey, Cargo. Thanks for the
prime. You need a dirt crafting table?
Don't think that exists. Do you know of
a main tank? I I'm the main tank. Why?
What's up, Nathaniel?
I'm in the hill. I guess that makes
sense. Crics, did you expect to get one
shot by the dragon like that? Yeah,
pretty much. Honestly, I kind of did.
Dark oak is the best oak. Uh, okay.
We've done like one or two updates,
Fona. Not a ton. Are we going to steal
from villagers today? I I would say that
you can expect some stealing from
villagers. Yeah, that would be a fair
assumption.
Thank you for the factor discount. Oh,
there we go. Let me know what you think
when it comes in. Rexia,
enjoy. Enjoy.
Yeah, we made it to the dragon yesterday
and that's the goal like to get back
there today, man. Hopefully, we can get
a better spawn and get some like actual
prog on the fight itself instead of just
dying before even doing anything. Get
some actual Yeah. So, my goal for the
day would be to actually just get damage
in on the dragon. Like, hitting him once
before dying would be Prague.
How about the ice? I think I'm going to
make 20 this time around. like that. 20
should be like overkill enough to where
like I can mess up and still be fine. I
think 20 seems pretty good. Could even
go for less if I wanted. But
uh what's the stupidest way you've died
in the 39 deaths? Yesterday my last
death was falling to my death. It was my
only time falling to my death besides
like falling into lava or something, but
like actually fall damage killing me.
That felt pretty stupid.
I've had a lot of dumb deaths. Like I've
died to zombie exploders. I've died to
like skeletons just letting them like
run up to me. Like I I've had a lot of
dumb deaths, but dying to fall damage is
is pretty peak dumb. I was thinking the
other day uh yesterday when we were
fighting the Ender Dragon or like when
we were going to the tunnel, there is a
chance that you would accidentally find
the end portal, right? Like there is a
chance that you could stumble across an
end portal. It would probably
astronomically low, but like they're
there right now, right? Yeah, that's
what I was thinking. I was like, wait,
these are just always out there. I would
assume there's more than one cuz the
world is infinitely big. They would have
to be. Um,
cool. All right, all signed up for
factory. Yeah, enjoy man. Let me know
how it is when it uh it should come in
like next week. I think my order comes
in like Tuesday or something. It spawns
every x amount of blocks. That would
make sense. Yeah, like it would it would
kind of have to cuz like say say you
traveled like 15,000 blocks in one
direction or like 100,000 blocks or
something. There's no way it would have
you like run all the way back. I would
think.
Okay, this looks like promising.
Oh yeah, that looks promising. [music]
Yeah, this will be our cave. This this
is good enough, right? Um do I want to
go down there and see what there is? I
think we do. Right. Hey, is that a
diamond? Oh my gosh, that's a diamond.
Nice. Well, good thing we stayed in this
cave. Don't mind if I do. Quick diamond.
Diamond before any armor. Yeah, how
funny. Now we can make a jukebox. Uh
yeah, man. Uh we'll we'll think about
it. Um
axe. We'll go axe next.
That seems fine. We have a shield, an
axe, and a pick. What do I want after
that? After we beat the dragon, what
comes next? What's the next goal? We'll
feel it out then. I think the first
thing I want to do when I beat the
dragon, I'm dying, is watch the world
record speedruns. I want to know once I
beat the dragon, I want to know all the
tech. I want to know everything I was
missing. I want to figure I want to see
what people are doing out there, man. I
want to see the strats. I want all the
spoilers, you know? I want like It's
like, okay, what what am I missing, you
Once we once we beat it, it's like I'm
just going to binge on like Minecraft
content cuz I don't know what's out
there, you know? I want to watch the the
worlds people have built. I want to see
everything. So, that's that's kind of
what I'm at. Beat the game and then see
everything about the game. Hey, diamond.
It's pretty lucky just to come across
diamonds like that. I feel like I don't
usually do that. Wow, that's four
diamonds. Five, six, seven, eight. Oh my
gosh. Nine. Nine diamonds. Wow. I have
11 here. So, I miscounted. That's I only
had one, right? So, that was 10 diamonds
right there. I don't know if I've ever
seen 10 diamonds in one little thing.
Holy.
I'm going to double check more around
here just in case I miss something. I
think they can spawn diagonally, people
said. So,
Enderman.
Now that I know how rare these are, I
want to kill them at any chance I get,
bro.
Hey,
we got an eye.
That's what we're talking about.
[groaning]
One eye down. Now that I know about
gold, too, I'm going to get as much gold
as possible. I was actually thinking
about this. I think I can make my Nether
run a lot quicker this time around. So,
when I go into the Nether, there's three
things I'm looking for. Piglins to give
my gold to and gold. That's the first
thing. The second thing is a blue forest
to farm the ender pearls. And the third
thing is a fortress. So, gold with
piglins, blue forest, and fortress. So
when I go in next time, I actually have
multiple different things I could be
looking for, which helps me find it
because it's it broadens the the the
spectrum of of success, right?
What is this?
Smooth basalt.
Huh? Amethyst.
Oh my gosh, dude. You got to be kidding
me. Yay. I love amethyst runs. We get
amethyst. Well, we end up dying, but
like if my I end up dying anyway every
time, so that doesn't mean much, but I
every time I find one, I feel like it's
a good playthrough. I feel like when I
find amethyst, I'm more uh what's it
word? Invested. Like I don't want to die
when I have amethyst. So, I'm like I
play extra careful. The older I get, the
more I enjoy streamers like you. No
drama, no insulting, just gaming. Yeah.
I I think like I I found the same to be
true with like the success of my stream.
I think yeah I I think with the average
WoW audience age getting older. So my my
my core audience Nice. We found
diamonds. My core audience getting
older. Oh wow. Really nice. My stream
has done better when when every when
when WoW players were on average 18. I
don't think I was like out there and
funny enough for my stream to do really
well. But now that the average audience
of WoW was like in the 30s. I think my
like my my content does better cuz
[music] I'm like a little more like
chill and relaxed. But I think 10 years
ago when everyone, you know, was a lot
younger, I don't I don't think my
content was like out there enough, you
know. But that's just who I was anyway.
So, whatever. Dad humor confirmed. Yeah,
I'm I think I I I think I am a little
bit more of like an old soul in that
regard. I think that would be like an
accurate way of looking at it. Okay, we
have the diamond chest now. Cool.
lots of skellies.
I think a younger ZAR dies to this like
yesterday maybe.
Okay, one sec. Okay, so I was down here
cuz I wanted obsidian. Get enough for an
escape portal back out of the Nether,
right? Yep. Yep. So, I need 20. Are you
going to have your little boy play this
game? Yeah, when he's old enough. Um, I
think Minecraft is the first game I've
played where I could like like I'm
really looking forward to playing with
Kai one day, right? I mean, I I am I
think playing WoW with him would be
cool, too, but WoW it's like so far off
like he's way too young for WoW, I
think. So, but like Minecraft's like
Yeah, I think he could grasp this like
pretty, you know, at some point. Yo,
Chinstar with 10 gifted adding to the
hype train. Sir Mandela, Chinstar, and
Bonnet. Thank you guys. I think it's
like the first first game. Yeah, like it
could be like a really fun first game.
Okay, so I have 11 obsidian. I started
WoW when I was seven. I started WoW at
12, but like looking back, I feel like
it was definitely like a little young,
but my parents probably just like didn't
even It's like the internet was so new
back then, right? I think I started
Runescape at like 10. Probably a little
on the young end, but it worked out. I I
think, right, guys? As a teacher,
Minecraft can be a wonderful educational
tool. It seems like it can because
Minecraft is a game where it rewards
creativity and exploration. Like that's
pretty cool. Really? Yeah. The internet
today is worse than it was when we were
kids for sure. But it was bad back then,
too. I mean I mean you I mean you if you
guys I mean you guys grew up and I did,
right? Like you guys know the internet
back in like early 2000s. I mean in a in
a in a sense it was worse. It was worse
what was like socially acceptable at
least. like it was it was the internet
was definitely different in the early
2000s. Not only creativity, but redstone
creations are all about logic. So, I
haven't even done any redstone stuff
yet, but I could see based on the
redstone computer thing that was built
that building things with redstone in
Minecraft as a kid or as an adult would
be like could could be like a like a
highly educational experience. It's like
electrical engineering. Yeah, right.
Exactly. Okay, that that's probably
fine. So, I think an enchanting table
could be built right [music]
now. Let me think. Yeah, let's just do
that cuz I'm going to need it anyway.
Get some base level enchants.
Efficiency, efficiency, or unbreaking. I
don't know if I want any of those. Yeah,
I still don't really know how to
enchant, but that's okay. Aqua affinity,
bro. Protection or thorns? Guess I'll go
protection. Protection.
Protection. Uh, I don't know.
Unbreaking, I guess. And then guess I
can do my iron legs till we get diamond
ones. Might as well. It's just lapis and
levels. Uh unbreaking or fire
protection? I'll just save it. Don't
want that. Cool. All right. So, we get
diamond legs and then are we off to the
Nether? Holy crap. I mean, if we really
wanted to, we could just go to the
Nether before the diamond legs, but I
kind of like the ritual of getting full
diamond before going to the Nether. It's
just kind of fun. How quick is each
playthrough? I'm like an hour deep on
this one. You can see the day number
four in the upper lefthand corner.
That's It's four Minecraft days in right
now. I forgot about uh gold. So, I have
gold boots. I could go gold legs. Is
gold legs troll? It kind of is troll,
huh? Cuz it's like too much armor to
give up. Mine more gold inside of the
Nether. Yeah, you know, I need to get
better at doing that. I'm always scared
the pigs are going to kill me, but I
think I'm pretty sure the zombie pigs
don't care about gold. It's just the
actual pigs. So, as long as there's no
pigs around, I think I can just take as
much gold as I want. And if there's
zombie pigs, I don't think they care. If
there's skellies, I don't think they
care. Gas, don't care. I don't think
anything cares. It's just the pigs. So,
I think I need to get better at farming
gold. Okay, so that's like 1 hourish,
maybe a little over an hour, like an
hourish, and we're like at the point
where we're trying to get some ender
pearls. We want a fortress or a blue
forest
or piglins. Imagine we we we we zone in.
It's a blue forest and a fortress right
there. [snorts]
Oh my gosh.
That is one place to spawn
in lava with gas all around.
That's not ideal.
That is definitely not ideal. Wow.
Wow, there we go.
Okay, close. Whatever. I don't have
infinite arrows, so just got here. How's
the run going? It's going great, man.
We're already in the Nether. We have
full diamond, full enchants for the most
part. Um, it's a it's a good run. It's
looking great. Now, we're just trying to
farm ender pearls and flame sticks.
We're looking for a blue forest or a
fortress or give a bunch of gold to
piglins.
So, I think that's what we're trying to
do here. Okay. So, this is testing a
theory. I don't think that the zombies
attack me or aggro or care if I steal
their gold, but I'm going to test to see
if that is accurate.
So, there's zombies right here.
Don't think they care, but if they do
care, we'll be ready to be in a safe
spot to take them on like this.
Okay. I don't think they can get to me.
Okay, let's see. Do you care if I take
this brother?
Nope.
So, I'm pretty sure if that was a a a
normal pig, a non-zombie pig, that guy
would be mad. But he doesn't seem to
care. So, it's really just the normal
pigs that I have to be aware of. So,
before we seal gold, we just make sure
there's no normal pigs around. Oh, I
didn't even see that. That's a bastion,
huh? I could try to play a Bastion safe,
but it it has not worked out very well
for us like at all. We're we're we're
pretty pretty much 0 and 0 and two on
the bastion situation.
Green forest. Green forest. Oh, green
forest through that wall, I guess. Huh.
Okay, so this is how you farm more
effectively in the forests, right? Like
in before I would have never actually
noticed or I I would have never thought
that was significant, but now I'm like,
"Holy crap, that's amazing." Let's give
this guy the rest of my gold. See if we
get anything.
Another dried gas. Nice. I think I'm
going to keep one gold bar. Oh, that's
string. Oh my gosh. Is that string? Yes.
Okay, now I can make some bundles. Yes.
[snorts] And another bundle. Nice.
And another bundle. Nice, boys. We're
back. And another bundle. Four bundles.
I don't know if I need that many, but
nice. Oh, that's so helpful. Um Oh,
yeah. That just that just completely
farms.
Nice. Okay, cool. Inventory problem
solved for now. Hopefully, it's a forest
and not just one tree like last time.
Please, please, please. You got more
pearls, too. Oh my gosh, you're right. I
have six already. Please be a forest,
dude. There's no way.
What?
That's the forest. I don't believe it.
Up or down? Yeah, I'm I'm doing both of
those right now.
Oh, I just did a bad
I just dug straight down the one rule.
That's what it feels like. Oh my gosh.
Blue forest. Oh my gosh. Yes. Yes. Yes.
What are the chances?
Oh yes.
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. Nice,
nice, nice, nice, nice, nice. As long as
I can hit a few spawns, I think I'm
going to stay here and hit it. Is he
getting 20 this time? Yeah.
10 11 12 eyes. There we go.
Nice.
18 eyes.
So, here's the thing.
It's really easy for me to farm an extra
two or three eyes or four eyes or five
eyes while I'm here, but to get back
here is going to be really annoying if
I'm like one short. It's like it takes
me literally a few extra minutes to get
another one, right? So, I I feel like I
should just farm. I mean, I don't need
30 again. 30 was a little overkill.
Right now, I have 18. I don't know. Like
I'm trying to think of that right number
like 20. I could even go like 22 24 and
probably be completely fine. The sage
said 30. You have to do 30.
Said is this. If I quote him verbatim,
he said get 14 ender pearls. And then I
was like, "Okay, 14." And then he he
looks down and thinks for a second and
then he says, "Wait, no, get 30." And I
was like, "Do you want me to get 14 or
30?" He said, "Get 30." So
that's that's really what happened. And
now I think I understand why he said
that because you could if you mid max
you could do 14, but a first timer
should probably get 30. Yeah, he it was
actually five head that he said it like
that. Super smart. Fortress time.
We'll kill this one.
Dude, I swear my one by one is quick to
build and effective. Or not one by one,
but you guys know what I mean. this
little thing. [groaning]
Hey, we got an extra. Okay, I feel
really good with 25. I feel really good
with 25.
Um Oh, there's another one there.
Oh my gosh, they all live down here. On
my way out, I find them. Are you kidding
me? Oh, thanks, baby.
They all live down here. It's the mother
lode.
Oh my gosh. I have three potions of fire
assist. That's good. I I keep dropping
the gold and I just pick it back up. So,
we'll try to be a little smarter. I
think I had a fire charge stack started.
We had a tried gas stack started.
Another tried gas. We have five tried
gas. Obsidian. And we have an obsidian
stack somewhere.
>> More golden arrows.
Dragon yet? Uh, not yet. Getting close,
though. I mean, I don't really need
much. We really just need the flame
sticks, which I don't think those guys
can drop flame sticks anyway, cuz I've
never seen one. All right. I heard a
guest over there. Let's go. Let's go
this way. Um, have we worked out what to
do with golden apples yet? Yeah, when
you eat them, they give you a bonus. You
can also give them to zombie villagers,
but I haven't figured that part out yet.
Oh my gosh. So, that's a bastion again.
No, that Wait, hold on. Don't tell me.
Don't tell me. I think that's a
fortress. Bastions are blacker than
this. Darker, right? It's like kind of
red. I think it's a fortress. Cool.
Okay. Yes, we found what we needed.
Okay, so we're going to get a little
closer and make a portal out. Grats.
Okay. Yeah, this is this is all we need.
We're going to we're getting a little
little closer. We'll make a portal out
just to like get inventory space and
kind of minmax a little bit. Cool. So,
we're already in it. Like that's that's
that's the entrance, right?
So, I'll just make the portal like right
here. I think I hear the blaze. Yeah.
Yeah, it's close.
Cool. This This is really good. I mean,
this is really good. Okay. Um, not that
it matters, but there's the cords. If we
want to go back in the VOD, um, it'll
I'll at least like flash it on the
stream.
Okay. So, we're going to leave. We're
just going to make like a somewhat
decent house.
Doesn't even have to be crazy.
But just I want to like clear out my
inventory and like just just dial in for
a second. Cool. Yeah, it's just
completely fine. Oh, we could build a
Dude, I have an idea. I have an idea. I
have an idea. I have an idea. I have an
idea. I have an idea. Everybody chill.
Everybody chill. I have an idea. Wait,
it could just be an amethyst box. Is
there any sand around here for glass? I
don't really feel like farming it. Okay,
we'll do a fence around the whole thing.
Can you build on top of a fence? I would
assume you could. I'm just going to
double check. Doesn't look very nice.
Doesn't look very nice at all.
Zar, don't make me watch this. I Pixie,
what? I'm open to suggestions here. Yo,
like we don't have enough amethyst. We
don't have glass. Like I I can make a
redstone dust house. That's all I've
got. Oh, it's actually the first time
I've actually used this. So, this is Oh,
okay. I thought these would be blocks
when you use them. That's the first time
I've actually tried using a redstone
thing. So, we watch like the circuit.
That's probably the circuit. That's
Yeah, a tree right in front of your
stairs is something, guys. The the tree
in front of the stairs is not a big It's
not a big deal, man. What do you guys
have against trees? Gosh. All right.
What else can I build with, guys? I I
like We don't We don't really have
anything to build with right now. Does
that look nice? Do you guys like that?
Oh, we need a door cuz I could get shot
at from zombs. You can have open air
windows.
Wouldn't
I be a like would would open air windows
allow spiders to crawl in and bite me
when I'm sleeping at night? You know
what I'm saying?
Feel like they they would.
All right, hold on. Watch this, guys.
We're going to call it the every other.
Yeah. Watch this.
Wait.
Yeah. Yeah. Watch this.
Wait.
Yeah. Huh?
What do you guys think?
There we go.
Yo, this is like oddly satisfying.
Bro is trolling. What do you mean? What
do you mean trolling? Windows are too
high.
Oh, I can't see anything.
Wait, hold on, hold on, hold on. What if
I pop out
the the crisscross? Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo.
I was cooking still. Watch. Look.
Yo
yo
wait.
Yeah.
Huh?
Zitect.
Look at that man.
Wait,
don't look over here. This one kind of
Don't look over there. Uh, hold up.
I'm still cooking. Give me a sec.
Wait, why does that look so bad?
That should look insane in theory. It
just doesn't.
Like, this looks pretty good on this
wall.
Yo, I'm not even that mad about this.
Like, that's actually kind of sick.
How many times have you guys seen an
amethyst house on a portal? That's a
treehouse. [music]
Stall master. Guys, I'm not stalling.
I'm building a fort, man. Yo, guys, type
one in the chat if your favorite part of
these Minecraft playthroughs is when I
actually finally get far enough to make
a house. Type two in the chat if you
actually like all the other stuff
better. Yeah. See, we have some ones.
This This is the main game. Really?
Wait,
what if I put a gate?
ones in the chat if this feels like a
prison. Two's in the chat if this is
like pretty pretty much a masterpiece.
Yeah, I mean that that looks kind of
nice. Anything else we need, guys? We
have backup iron, a backup crafting
table, backup sticks, planks. We'll just
bring the ender pearls, torches, uh, we
have an extra flint and steel, um,
obsidian, diamond, blocks. I guess we
can just bring blocks. We have blocks,
steak. We have 26 stakes. I could have
bring more food. Diamond pants. I don't
have diamond pants yet. I have iron
pants. I can bring I actually only have
29 food. I don't have a sword either.
Leave pearls, please. Why? I mean, I can
leave one stack. I guess shield. I have
a I have a shield on and a backup
shield. Gold boots. I have legs. I'm I'm
going to need to farm more diamonds. I
think I'm pretty ready. I can bring more
blocks. How about this? We'll We'll
We'll go in like somewhat safely. I
think the I'm not that scared of
fortresses. I don't know if that's crazy
to say, but I know the spawners summon
the fire things. I know how to deal with
the fire things. The skellies are
skellies. They're not too bad. And I'm
going to stay inside. Like, I'm not
going to go exploring too much. My
portal's right there. I think we're
fine. repair the bow. I don't think I
can repair an enchanted bow, but I think
we'll be fine with that. Bring all the
potions. Yeah, there's no reason not to.
Fair enough. Fair enough. All right,
boys. Ready? Let's go in. Let's go.
I think I'm right under the spawner.
I think the spawner is like right to my
right.
I don't have a sword.
I don't think piglins can spawn in
fortresses. I think I can put on my um
my other legs.
I wish I had a sword here.
Oh my gosh, the blaze is right there.
That is so sick.
That is so sick.
Triple diamonds and a sword. Wow. No
flame stick, but that's okay. I can make
diamond legs if I want. Right now, I
swip I swapped to iron. I don't think
there's piglins around here. Okay, so I
can go up or down. I think I see a
I think I see a spawner like over here.
I can go down, but I think I'm not going
to go down right now. Yeah, I think it's
over there.
Nice. Number one, baby. Number one.
Okay. So, I don't want to uh get knocked
off like I did last time.
Wow, that traveled so fast.
Oh, the spawner I think is there.
Oh my gosh, it's there. Yes. [groaning]
Hopefully it's safe though.
crap. I don't know, man.
Mhm.
Woo!
Oh my gosh, that could have been bad.
And the fire totally knocks you back,
guys. Totally knocked you back.
Ah!
Why is this so much harder than last
time?
I'm at nine blaze rods already. Wait,
how many do I need? Haven't even thought
about this.
16 is 32. Like nine 18. I'm I'm pretty
like one or two more. We're kind of get
out of here, right?
>> [groaning]
>> I have 10 which is 20.
That was a four spawn there.
I have 11, which is 22.
14. I'd say we get out. That's That's
fine.
Let's not get knocked like last time.
Holy crap. That actually
and 100% knocks you. By the way, we
confirmed it there. When you when you
when it ticks it like it like D like it
like kind of does that. Holy crap.
Woo! What a rush, boys. What a rush.
What a rush,
guys. We got so lucky on that placement.
But like, I almost died there, man.
Let's be honest. Oh my. Guys, type one
in the chat if you thought I was toast
right there, man. We had to lock in and
dial boys.
Oh my goodness. I'm going to save one
blaze rod.
I'll save a couple blaze rods, actually.
Holy crap.
I can't believe we're back to this
moment, my friends. I'm shaking. I'm
literally shaking.
>> Let's go.
>> Oh, let's go, man.
I thought I was dead. I thought I was
dead, but we clutched up, man. We
clutched up.
We clutched up there, man. Holy crap.
Eye of Enders.
16 of each. 16 eye vendors.
[snorts] Um, nice. I'm going to make a
brewing stand cuz I couldn't yesterday.
Um, and then I'm also going to farm
diamond legs. I have four diamonds, so I
need just a few more diamonds. Practice
pearl throwing is not a bad idea. Yeah,
there could be more chests in the
fortress. There could be more chest. I
could go back in the fortress and try to
farm more diamonds from the chest. It's
like kind of safe, but like I could also
die. I don't know. Probably not. All
right, guys. First brewing stand right
here. I don't know how to work one, but
at least we can place one and say we did
it. I do have a glass bottle. No
spoilers. I I actually just won't even
reach out. But this is this is something
I want to figure out alone.
I I would think you make potions with
like roots and stuff, right?
This is something that maybe you craft.
It's like like I I've never made I've
never made beverages in real life, but
like this is the heat source probably.
And it like bubbles up and it goes
through here and like the this gets
pushed. So this is like lava or fire. I
already tried coal.
Blaze powder. That's probably a troll,
right?
Wait, I can't use too many of them,
though. Wait, I just used one. No, I
need those.
Oh my gosh. I might just need three
glass bottles.
I mean, something's here and something's
here. I might just need more glass
bottles. I think I You might be able to
make glass bottles with glass, but I
don't have any glass cuz I don't have
any sand.
actually do have a couple soul sands.
Can soul sand make glass? No. If I make
glass, it might be the recipe to make a
glass bottle. If I can make a glass
bottle, I could put three glasses.
Oh my gosh. End crystal painting. That's
sick.
H I don't want to grief this though. So,
I'm going to take all of them out except
one. I think it already used one. I
think one is here. I could I could I can
farm more if I need actually, but I
don't think I'll need more than this. Um
crap. I don't know, guys. I need to farm
glass to make a glass bottle. That's my
best guess. We have blaze rods, ender
pearls, eye of enders. So, I can make
four more. We have gold here. We need
more. So, before we fight the ender
dragon, we 100% want more blocks, more
food, diamond legs, enchants, a new bow.
Uh, we actually can make a new bow cuz
we have string and wood. That's long
overdue. Okay. Um, man, I really want to
read chat, but I feel like you guys are
just going to spoil stuff if I do. No
spoiling chat. I'm going to start
reading chat again. No spoilers. Well,
like we'll figure out what we can figure
out. If we can't figure it out, we won't
figure it out. It is what it is. Okay.
What up? What up, guys? All right. Which
is iron and birch. I actually could make
a smithing table. I've made one before
and I I couldn't really figure it out,
but I'm I'm okay to like this is the
time to test stuff out, man. Um, this is
the time to like test theories, see what
works, see what doesn't, all that kind
of stuff. I don't even know which item
it was. Here we Here we are. Okay.
Applies to armor ingredients. ing and
crystals. Add a piece of armor. Add an
ingot or crystal. Oh, this is actually
isn't too bad. An ingot or a crystal.
Gold nugget. Gold ingot. Crystal.
Amethyst. Is an amethyst a crystal.
Upgrade rib. Armor trim. Diamond
material. Wait, it's literally just
aesthetics. It's literally just
aesthetics. [laughter]
Oh. Yo yo yo yo. What if I played it
with gold? What if I played it with
gold? Yo.
Yo. Okay, this is just Mog. Okay, this
is like How do we want a Mog on the
dragon? What are we feeling? I don't
want to waste my diamonds, I don't
think, cuz I I actually do need them.
You guys like the gold? Oh, red stone.
Let me try redstone. Oh, bro, it's got
to be red stone. Amethyst doesn't work.
I already tried. I like the red stone.
Red rib armor trim. Yo
yo,
that's sick. Did it take the recipe or
no? Oh, you can only do it once per, so
I can't even trim my entire set of gear.
Wow, that's pretty pretty tough then.
It's like Zamarok. Yeah, kind of it kind
of feels like Sammy. Okay. Um, so if I
actually want to go into the Nether or
sorry, like to to like go fight the
dragon. Um, we we want diamond legs. I
have four diamonds. That means we need
three more diamonds like no matter what.
I'm trying to think what else. Okay, so
we go water, sand to get glass to make
maybe bottles to maybe make potions, and
diamonds. Diamonds to make legs. Why am
I ignoring super chats? I'm just not I
haven't even looked. So, I have three
screens. The first screen is my video
game. I really am trying to not look off
the game right now. My second screen has
um the chat and the super chats. I've
been trying my best not to look at chat.
Like since we're closing in on the Ender
Dragon, I don't want any spoilers. And
this is where they I feel like more
people are going to try to spoil things
like do this, do that. So that's why.
Thanks for the $5 super chat from Mr.
Junior. He says, "You see what you have
right now? Try making things you've
never made before in the crafting bench
for new recipes." That's exactly what I
was just doing. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep.
That's exactly what we are doing. So we
have that uh load stone to get back
home. And
oh my gosh, there's going to be sand
right there. Okay, let's get a shovel. I
forgot about a shovel. Totally fair.
Yeah, I mean I want to reach chat. It's
my favorite thing about streaming, but
at the same time, like I really don't
want spoilers right now. Yeah, we watch
YouTube and Twitch. The third screen is
uh Discord or like other like a another
Chrome window or like sponsor stuff or
whatever. Usually just Discord if if
nothing else is up there. You make
coffee with air. Yeah. Yeah. I I read
chat and people are spamming water which
does make sense but that does feel a bit
spoilery. I mean now that we read it I
think we do have to do that. Um I don't
know if I would have thought of that
without reading chat like you guys were
saying how do you make coffee.
[gasps] It's doing it. It's doing it.
Oh my gosh. It's doing it. It's doing
it.
It's doing it. Awkward potion. No
effect. Are you kidding me? Yeah. Nice,
guys. An awkward potion.
Is it RNG? Okay. I I mean, I don't I
definitely don't want to know the rest.
I would assume it's RNG. So, we're just
going to full send
this with this and this. I'm actually
not going to reach out cuz I don't want
to like I I I looked over for a second
and I saw the water comments. So, we're
not even going to look over. I mean, it
could be like mushrooms maybe. Awkward
potion. Awkward potion. Advancement made
local brewery. Okay, let's see see what
the advancement says, guys. I don't
know. I'm I'm giving up. I'm giving up.
No spoilers, please. I'm giving up.
Okay, which means next order of business
is farming
three more diamonds for some legs. I
think I just want to get these diamond
legs and enchanted. I might farm a
couple more arrows. Um, and more food.
Arrows, food. Can't think of anything
else I need besides arrows, food, and
diamonds. All right, we made the legs,
boys. We made the legs. We have coal on
us, diamonds on us, obsidian for some
reason. We have planks. We have backup
sticks, two potions of fire resist, an
axe, a pick, a bow, tons of ammo, tons
of food, a bed for traveling there, a
load stone to get back home. I don't
think I have enough diamonds for a
sword. Oh, I do. How you feeling right
now? Uh, do you think we kill it? I I'm
feeling good. I feel like I know more
than yesterday, but yesterday I didn't
even get a hit off on the dragon. I
don't know if my mindset is killing it.
My mindset is learning as much as I can
about the fight before I die. So that my
next attempt I have even more game
knowledge. Yesterday when I tried this,
I didn't learn almost anything other
than there's a bunch of Enderman looking
at me. There's three towers. Two of the
towers have little flamy things on them
and the dragon spits fire and if the
fire hits you, you kind of die. Yeah,
last run we had like 32 days here. Now
we're on day 19. Or did I have more
even? I might have had like 35 days. So
our play time is like almost half of
what it was and I'm not trying to like
necessarily speedrun. Like we made a
house and stuff, you know? It was chill.
Don't forget the pumpkin. If we see a
pumpkin, I will cut the the the head. If
not, we we try without it. I want to
practice building something real quick.
So, I think what I'm going to build when
I get there is one, two, three.
Something like that.
Yeah. So, if I aggro anything, I'm good.
I like that. One, two, three, and then a
roof.
All right. [sighs]
Well, guess we're
going on a boat.
Yes, we're boating.
Bro, I'm going to be so mad if it's in
the middle of the ocean cuz I just won't
know what to do. That's a lot of water
to train. Yeah, if it's in the middle of
the ocean, I actually just won't know
what to do. Have you uh considered
training the ocean? Yes, I have. I tried
yesterday. It was tough. I'm going to
assume it's on this island or like even
further past the shore. If it's if it's
back in the middle of the ocean, I'm so
mad. I think that is. Is that a pumpkin?
I think that is. Holy crap. I think it's
a pumpkin. Yes. Thank you, Blizzard.
Hey
Okay, we have the pumpkin.
So now, boom,
boom,
boom.
We'll see.
I feel like the sage told me about
pumpkin strats, but I was like, so it's
been a it's been a minute. This was like
two and a half weeks ago at the park.
And he was like explaining to me like
like you you put the eyes in and then
you you climb up out of this thing and
then there's a dragon and you have to
attack it and shoot it and this and
that.
He did tell me to bring a carved
pumpkin. Oh my gosh. I think someone
just half spoiled it in the chat for me.
You got someone just half spoiled it for
me. I don't know. I don't know if it's
even right, but I think it is. Crap. I
Okay, I might have to just not read the
chat. Dang it. In their defense, they
spoiled it as a question. It was like a
half decent spoiler. I'm assuming this
is right. I think this is also what the
maybe the sage told me a couple weeks
back. It's been a minute. What did I
read? He said, "What makes Enderman
aggro?" The qu the answer is looking at
them. Pumpkin Head can't see you. It's
probably right. It's probably right.
Yeah. Trying to think now if I just try
to like ethically not use it even though
I know. I mean, technically he didn't
say it. He He did What? What's that game
like? Charades or what's the game where
it's like you can't actually say it. You
can only hint. Oh, what's that? Oh,
that's a golden block on a portal in the
ocean. Golden block. I can make a golden
apple. Oh my gosh. Nice. We'll have one
golden apple. Oh, I can breathe down
here.
No, I can't.
I don't know. I don't know. I'm getting
up. Getting going up. Going up. I don't
know. I'm like either breathing or not.
There's two gold things.
Let's get get it quick.
And we're up. I I don't know how these
bubbles work. You would think like you
could breathe underwater. How is there
lava underwater? It doesn't even make
any sense.
How do bubbles work? Yeah, I know you're
supposed to breathe them. I'm just
trying to No way. A third block of gold.
>> [gasps]
>> Oh my gosh, guys. That is so many golden
apples. What are the chances? That's the
one thing I needed. Actually, I needed
two things on my way. I needed a pumpkin
and gold. And I found a pumpkin and
three blocks of gold.
[music] Three golden apples.
That is amazing, right? I mean, that has
to be just absolutely best case scenario
right there.
Okay. Okay. All right, boys. We dig.
Yeah,
I think it's time.
So, between it went like this way and
this way. So, it's
I mean, let's say it's it's right here,
right? Hey
guys, we got there in like four Eye of
Enders or something.
That's like really good.
That's like really good.
Holy crap.
What the heck is that?
What the heck was that?
All like the same.
People
saying I miss more chests. No way. Okay,
I'll try to try to be on the lookout a
little bit better.
[sighs] Here we go, boys. Here we go.
Oh, there's already two in there.
All right, boys. Here we go.
>> [music]
>> Oh crap. Oh
shoot. I threw one minus one. Woohoo.
What a rush, man. What a rush.
Let's lock in here, boys.
Let's lock in here.
Nice.
We're not in the middle of nothing.
You got to be kidding me.
Oh my gosh, this is tough.
This is tough.
Okay, I'm I'm kind of understanding a
little bit. [snorts]
Okay, maybe I just Okay, I got it. I got
it. I got it. I got it. I need a lot of
block. I need the buildup.
I need a buildup. I was going to break
up. That's not going to work.
Oh my gosh.
Wait, why am I doing it like this? I
should just build up like this.
Maybe this is stupid though.
Oh my gosh. Ow. Okay. I would assume
that's got to be good.
[snorts]
I would assume I do that for all the
towers now.
I don't have enough blocks, bro.
Or maybe not all the towers have that
thing.
Oh, maybe it's just the one he's
tethered to.
This is tough. This is really tough.
This is not what I was expecting at all.
They're all going
to the one he's tethered. I'm so
confused.
He's tethered to a certain tower.
There's a flame on top. I killed one.
Maybe I have to kill all the flame.
Dude, I don't have enough blocks for
that.
I don't know, man. I don't know. I don't
know what to do. I'm going to I'm going
to try to climb this one, I guess.
Oh, I know why you need the bucket of
water now.
See, you can get up and down easier.
Oh my gosh, that's got to be bad.
Go, go, go, go. Swim faster.
I'm going to take drown damage or fall
damage. Guess I'll take fall damage.
[sighs] Okay. Okay. Okay.
Oh, that's my one bucket. I need
multiple buckets, huh?
Crap. Okay, next time we bring more than
one bucket of water.
Crap.
Hands are sweaty.
I don't I don't know. I don't I don't
really know the objective. I don't think
I've actually hit him yet. He's tethered
to that tower.
I'm almost out of blocks. This is like
really not good. Should have brought way
more blocks. It's daytime or something.
I don't even know, dude. This is so
scary. Holy crap.
What the what the
He's not even tethered to this one
anymore.
I'm pausing. I Wait, I should have
paused way sooner. I'm not I'm not going
to read chat cuz it's too spoiler heavy.
I'll even look away.
I need to brainstorm. I need to think. I
don't want spoilers. I'm not even going
to look at the chat. But I do need to
think the dragon. There's a bunch of
towers. There's flames on top of the
towers. When I kill it, they explode.
It seems like I would go to every tower
to where the dragon can't tether himself
and then I start Don't I'm gonna mute
that. Muting muting muting muting it.
Sorry. No donations. No. Like I I just
didn't want to risk it being a spoiler.
Muted it.
>> Um
I'll I'll read it after, of course.
Thank you for the support.
There's There's flames on top of the
towers.
I'm almost out of blocks is the problem.
Like I can't I can't sustain this. I I
lost my water already.
I could try to go retrieve my water, but
that's tough.
I need to Okay, next time I try this, I
need to practice water jumping. What I
need to do is jump off the top and then
just throw the water under me. But I've
never tried that, so that's too risky to
do this time around.
But that if I can get that tech down,
that'll help a lot. I could go to the
top of each tower. I bring in like th I
bring in like 500 blocks next time with
water. A bunch of water buckets, too, if
I if I mess up. And I just tower up,
kill it, water down. Tower up, kill it,
water down over and over.
I'm trying to think I'm trying to think
outside the box here without reading
chat, guys. That's the That's the best
thing I can think of. And I don't have
water and I don't have blocks. So, what
do I do for this play through?
I can't get to the top of those darn
towers.
I could try mining uh up with obsidian,
but my pick will break before that. I
that's that's not even an option. I'll
probably die through the wall, too.
I don't have enough.
Okay, we'll just try single block all
the way to the top, get a quick kill,
single block all the way to the bottom.
That's the best we can do. And I'll
recycle my blocks for each tower. That's
the best I can do this time around.
Yeah, that's the best we can do this
time around. We have 59 blocks. We're
going to We're going to recycle them.
[sighs] Okay. Okay.
The enderman are attacking the dragon.
Weird.
[snorts]
[groaning]
That kind of worked.
That one's too tall.
I'm going to do the short ones, I guess.
I don't know.
Oh yeah, pumpkin mask. I'm going to go
to the one he's chained to.
Okay.
>> [snorts]
[groaning]
>> Can't see a thing. Is this even helping
me? I'm dead.
Okay, I'm actually I'm actually proud of
myself to throw for throwing the eyes. I
That was quick thinking. I saw the knock
back and I threw the eyes, but it I was
too far, I think, presumably. Okay, I'm
I'm happier with that attempt. I have so
much theory crafting now. Holy crap, I
have so much more theory crafting. Holy
crap. Okay, so if I get knocked next
time, I throw an eye quicker. Um, I
bring way more blocks and I bring
multiple buckets of water, I think. Um,
or I can just go up and down how I did,
but way more blocks. Like way more
blocks. I don't want to know the
strategy, so I'm actually scared to even
read the chat. But I think the idea of
going up each tower, killing the thing,
and coming down is probably the fight.
And when he has no more towers, I don't
I I don't know. I mean, I I don't know.
Yeah. Holy crap.
That was sick. Um, guys, can we quickly
just spam ones, clear the chat, please?
No spoilers, and then I'll start reading
the chat again. I'm amped about that
playthrough, guys. That was That was
much better. I That's a much better way
to die. Uh, we got a $5 donut from Math.
He says, "Zar, my favorite rank one
mage. 19 time rank one mage." There we
go. There we go.
Thanks for the five, man. Savix with the
raid. Thank you so much, man. Dog magic
with the tier one. Amazing run, dude.
That was a good run. I'm happy with
that. The pumpkin mask kind of trolled
me. Yeah, it actually kind of did. Um,
you did so well. I'm shocked. I mean, I
didn't even hit the dragon once.
[laughter] You guys are all pretty proud
of me, but I didn't even get to hit I
didn't even hit him. Like, I literally
didn't even hit the dragon. You did
once? Oh, I did? Oh, I didn't even know.
I mean, I I shot like 10 times. I
thought I missed all of them. The island
is made of blocks. Like, you're saying
like the Yeah, like I can dig down. Oh,
for like safety. Yeah. Yeah, fair
enough.
The big thing that I don't understand
is
the objective of the fight.
Like it like seemingly impossible to
just keep shooting him
forever. It has to be something with the
towers.
There's so many towers and some are like
way too tall. I think some towers are
crazy tall. the short ones. Like, I
could deal with all the short ones.
I I And I don't want the spoilers. I'm
just like thinking out loud here. Like,
dude, I need the [laughter] I need the
Great Sage. Oh my gosh. I need the Great
Sage, guys. It's It's too hot in Tucson,
Arizona. So, we haven't been able to go
to the park. Like, or I I' I've been
going with Kai, but we only stay for
like 10 minutes cuz it's just so hot and
there's no one no one else there. It's
too hot. It's like over 100° out. So, we
go for like a couple minutes and it's
like, "All right, let's get let's get
out of here. Need to get back inside.
Water doesn't disappear when you take
source block. Oh, right. Like it it
doesn't disappear instantly. Oh, I see
what you guys are saying. I could make a
waterfall, pick it up, and then ride the
waterfall down. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I
mean, it's the same with lava or what?
Like I Yeah.
So, like here, I could have I mean, I
don't even think I'm going to do the
water here. Oh, yeah, I am. So, here I
could have picked it up and just rode
the own water my own waterfall down.
Yeah, fair enough. But is this even
quicker? Oh, this is quicker, huh?
This is totally quicker.
That crystal almost killed you. I don't
know how to stop the explosion. So,
let's go watch that again.
I mean, it's like half HP. I think I
just have to tank it. Unless maybe I'll
try shooting it with a bow. Okay, so we
learned stuff with water. We learned
stuff with a bow.
I mean, he's tethered to these towers.
It's got to mean something.
I don't think I I mean, bro, if you have
to do all of them, that's rough. But I
think just the idea of pillaring up, if
things get sketch, you water down.
Um, if I get knocked, I eyeball. I mean,
that's got to be like most of the
mechanics. Once all the pillars are
dead, the dragon probably fights me more
like headon. I think I'm going to go no
pumpkin mask next time. I think it like
tripped me up more than anything. I
think I might look up a little more
instead of looking down. I've got to
say, guys, I am the most satisfied with
that death. Like, I I feel really good
about that death. That's my favorite
death yet. Like, I feel so good. We got
to the Ender Dragon.
We got to the Ender Dragon. We we learn
way more about the fight. We have a ton
of notes for next time.
I mean, that's that's what I wanted. You
know, the next run, I think hopefully we
can kill more of the tower explosion
things and maybe get some Prague on the
dragon itself. And then the run after
that, we maybe kill it. Like I'm
thinking like two or three more tries. I
don't know.
I'm I'm stoked. I'm stoked.
Cool. Um, let's start a brand new world.
Holy crap.
