Ancient City & The Warden! ▫ Minecraft 1.19 Survival Guide (Tutorial Lets Play) [S2 E107]

Hello everyone my name is pixariffs and welcome back to the minecraft survival guide i hope you’re all having a good day we’re back here at the crater of this mountain where it feels like the deep dark has landed like a meteor in our world and is about to cause chaos so

We’re gonna head down there back to the deep dark area we were exploring yesterday but today no holds barred we are going into the ancient city possibly the most dangerous environment down here in the deep dark full of skulk shriekers full of loot but also full of the danger

Of encountering the warden and we’re gonna go in with much the same approach that we had yesterday i’ve got a bed with me so i can set my spawn just in case the worst should happen i’ve got a couple of stacks each of the different colors of wool and an empty shulker box

That we can hopefully stash all of the loot in i’ve also brought some snowballs in case we need to have them serve as a distraction for the warden we’ve got ourselves a silk touch hoe and some shears so that we can mine some more wool once we’re here because despite the

Fact that the structure is kind of scary it’s also got a lot of wool here it gives you the tools you need to make sure that your encounters with the warden can be survived but all in all we’re not going in with the intent to fight the warden today and i know that’s

Going to be a lot of people’s interest a lot of people are going to be kind of out here for a combat challenge i don’t believe that’s really the intent behind these structures the ancient cities and even the deep dark itself i don’t think the warden is really meant to be fought

I think it is meant to be a stealth challenge basically the warden is really there to be avoided and figuring out how to avoid it is sort of the point here to me at least and your mileage may vary on this score you might look at the warden

And say i want to fight that regardless of what the developers actually intended and that is entirely your call but for me today in this episode don’t expect me to go in all guns blazing i’m gonna try and play this the stealthy way and then maybe if i’m feeling especially plucky

In a future episode we will go ahead and raid this thing with the intent of taking on the warden hand to hand mano amano and see who comes out on top for now though we’re gonna hop down here slowly into the deep dark because i know from experience from yesterday that

Flying on down here if we’re too close to a skulk shrieker could actually trigger our first strike for the warden so we’re probably going to end up coming down somewhere over here making sure that we’re not detected by too many skulk sensors and working our way into

The structures of the ancient city more slowly we got incredibly lucky with this environment right here because this is an ancient city that’s almost exposed to the sky so if we need to make an emergency exit i’ve still got my fireworks on my hotbar and my elytra

Equipped we’re not fully armored up but we are at least able to make a quick getaway if we need to and i think the first thing i’m going to do is a similar approach to what i did yesterday we’re going to work our way in taking out the

Skulk sensors and catalysts and stuff as i go because those are still pretty valuable to me and some of them are even being lit up over there in the distance if i had my spyglass on me i’ll be able to show you over there in the distance

There are a couple of skulk sensors which were being lit up by a bat nearby and i’m hoping there’s not a skull shrieker near there because i have a feeling that they wouldn’t take too kindly to the bat’s interference but for now at least i’m gonna sneak on in here

We’re gonna take out a couple of these skulk sensors and they’re gonna trigger each other but for the most part we should be okay over here we’re down here at y negative 51 in the world and to my knowledge ancient cities should always generate around this coordinates so if

You are looking for ancient cities specifically if you’ve had enough of the regular deep dark and you want to come here and find one of these cities you are looking for this y coordinate of y 51 and we’re finding a lot of redstone down here we may even find a few exposed

Diamonds for the most part i’m going to ignore that because unfortunately it’s not exactly what i’m here for despite the fact that we’d get a lot of redstone dust out of this but maybe once the area is a little bit safer we can come back through and claim all of those resources

Likewise unfortunately it’s gonna be pretty difficult for me to light up this area without tripping some of the skulk sensors and so until i’ve taken out some of these it is gonna look a little bit dark on the footage but i’m gonna try and brighten

It in a similar way to what i did with yesterday’s footage so hopefully you folks should be able to see well enough down here now despite the fact this looks like a jumble of deep slate bricks and tiles this is actually one of the first structures we want to investigate

Because these kind of ruined towers exist throughout the ancient cities and there is a ladder here indicating that we can probably come up here to find something so i’m going to very quickly break down a couple of these blocks here and use those to pillar up and make

Contact with that ladder there are also some cracked deep slate tiles which is something i completely forgot was a thing in my recent explorations of deep slate we’ve got cracked deep slate bricks there of course but there are tile variants of that as well that’s kind of hilarious oh and it looks like

Up here we have our first ancient city loot chest right above us and i should be able to click on that from there and here we go folks we got ourselves some of the loot that you can expect to find here in ancient cities first of all some amethyst shards but these mysterious

Shards of some other kind of substance these are echo shards and once we have enough of those we’ll be able to craft a recovery compass a compass which will point to the last place we died which for me is probably going to be the time

I blew up a respawn anchor over near my spawn point but we’ll get to that in future we’ll see if that works out we also have two fragments of music disc five a new music disc that’s been added in for this version but something that you have to piece together from

Fragments which can only be found here in the ancient cities there’s also an enchanted book here which is the new swift sneak enchantment so we got really lucky with this first chest unless they made swift sneak an enchantment that appears in all of these loot chests but

For the most part when i come down here before when there’s still been placeholder loot and things like that when they were still working some of this stuff out i always found different enchantments and i had a hard time finding swift sneak what that does if we

Put it on our leggings and it is a leggings enchantment for once is to make our sneaking speed kind of closer to our walking speed normally sneaking slows you down a lot you end up moving a little bit slower but if you add swift sneak 3 the highest level of swift sneak

To your leggings you’ll be walking at about 75 percent of your normal walking pace so it actually speeds up sneaking quite a lot and that can be especially useful for exploring environments like this now you know me i’m a maximalist i kind of want to go for the highest level

Enchantment that i can get when it comes to this stuff so even though we have swift sneak 2 here and that would go really well on our leggings right now i’m going to hold off on enchanting them until we have swift sneak three either we get another one of these books or we

Get a swift sneak three book but as far as our first loot goes we also got a name tag we also got some horse armor i’m probably gonna leave both of these in here for now we can always come back and get them if we want to but as far as

That unique loot goes we’ve got our first taste of it right here now let’s step further into the city and see what’s going on there’ll be a couple more structures like this around the outside but the main meat of the city is really in here now you’ll notice that these corridors

These kind of like double-sided corridors we’ve got one lane on it this side and one lane on the other these are all made with a floor of gray wool and that is all two blocks thick or at least it seems to be in these places and yeah

It does seem to be two blocks thick okay so this is once again the ancient city providing for you in terms of things that can be both a distraction and potentially an aid to stealth so if you’re running around on wool as we found out in the

Previous episode you’re not going to be detectable by skulk sensors the warden if it spawns will also have a harder time hearing you if you’re running around on wool and if you’re sneaking on wool you’re pretty much as silent as you can be so this at least seems like a

Smart move in terms of the way the designers have left some wool around these structures meaning that you can sneak around these corridors without potentially tripping any of the skulk sensors so as you explore one of these areas it’s also kind of teaching you the mechanics you need to survive you’ll

Also notice that some of these areas are bridged with temporary looking wooden supports and carpet and that’s also to indicate to the player that you can run around on carpet as well and still survive you can still manage to muffle your footsteps that way and the skull sensors being tripped over there are

Once again being tripped by a bat so we may have to take some pot shots at this bat to make sure it doesn’t get in closer and activate one of the shriekers although it seems to be flying around near that shrieker and not activating it so maybe it’s only a player that can

Activate the shriekers after all and hopefully the bats won’t be too much of a problem either way i’m gonna hop down here and sneak up into this area because i think this is really where we want to be next there is a little side room over

Here it’s got some stairs leading up to it like this this seems to be where some of the most important loot is the loot chests in this area are kind of worth having and let’s see we have two shriekers right here we have one skulk sensor but i’m not seeing too many of

The others around and so i’m wondering wow there’s a skull in there hello i’m wondering if maybe we can block this off and frankly i’m considering just destroying that skulk sensor but i might quickly check around to see if there are any other sensors looks like that might be the only one so

I think if we break this one with a hoe we are going to be in the clear here we go yes okay now we should be safe enough to disable these two skulk shriekers without them alerting the warden and getting our first strike perfect okay we got both of them

Brilliant we can claim the skull catalyst as well and as long as there aren’t any skulk sensors and shriekers on the other side of here which it doesn’t look like there are we should now be safe enough to open up these two chests either side of this mysterious

Altar festooned with lit candles and all of that stuff if we also come down here if i take a quick look i don’t think there are any sensors and stuff down here nope we’re all fine there is as i mentioned a skeleton skull generating as part of the structure and this is really

Uncommon the only other place you will find skulls as part of the structure anytime you’ll find mob heads it’s the dragon head on the front of an end city ship so the fact that we’ve got a skeleton skull from this structure is kind of fascinating to me either way we

Can now open up these chests and once again we’ve got a couple of skulk blocks we have some compasses which i believe are really there to hint at the recovery compass recipe we have swift snake 3 there we go fantastic we’ve got ourselves the full enchant in a single

Book and then the rest of this stuff seems to be mostly law related loot right there’s some spare books in here there’s some soul torches because this whole area is lit with candles and those eerie blue flames like soul lanterns we’ve got a few of those candles in here

As well of course i’m gonna leave the rest of this stuff for now but once again we can come back and reclaim this anytime we want to and now in here we have a quick charge 2 book okay so crossbow users clearly here some pretty decent enchants on diamond leggings as

Well that’s very very nice to have a few more amethyst shards and a couple more fragments of music disc 5. so that is 4 out of i presume eight fragments we need to get i didn’t look into this too thoroughly i’m just gonna try and get as

Many of them as i can over here on this opposite side though we have another ruined structure seems to be free of skulk and it does have a chest up here towards the top so let’s see if we can climb up here and grab that one i’m kind

Of trying to parkour my way around these instead of breaking them up too much because i do really like the fact that we can kind of explore them without that oh we got a music disc 13 in there very nice some enchanted iron leggings a few more amethyst shards and honestly the

Skull catalysts are going to be worth taking because those are few and far between in the regular deep dark but i think it’s about time that we left those structures behind and moved on let’s see if there’s anything else that we can find by exploring this wool pathway

We’ve taken care of that room and i should probably actually go through with the wool and mark off the areas that we have already been just so we can more easily keep our bearings about where exactly we’ve been in the deep dark already and just lighting it up a little

Bit is probably going to help but i think the red wool is going to say okay no go we’ve already been through here i’m noticing a lot of these little shrines around here that clearly are meant to resemble the warden’s face and also this central frame that really is

The centerpiece of every ancient city regardless of how it generates you’re going to find one of those at the center and yeah potentially we can learn a little bit from those later on but at the moment i’m looking at this section here which seems to be kind of cordoned

Off i guess i’m not seeing a spot where we can very easily enter this maybe it’s around the back or maybe i should just peel her up using wool and get in over the wall here because once again we have a couple of skulk sensors up there but

We have one skulk shrieker down here so i’m thinking maybe we’re gonna hop on down we’re gonna do our best to stay on the wall and we’re just gonna disable this one shrieker i think that should be safe enough perfect okay and that’s right next to a chest here which oh

Doesn’t have the greatest loot after all we’ve got some curses on those leggings as well so even if i was in the market for iron leggings not something i would consider using really looks like maybe there would have been an entrance over on that side there’s a kind of archway

Leading you down into it that makes a fair amount of sense let’s see if we can sneak over and grab these two skulk sensors and luckily there wasn’t another shrieker hiding around the corner there perfect and it seems like as far as these massive deep slate frames go we’re kind

Of around the back of this one because around the front we have a row of redstone lamps at the top of these pillars and those are really there to indicate to the player that if you make a sound near them they’re going to light

Up but i want to sneak up onto the wall here where we can walk around a little bit more freely and this bridge leads us to the center of this altar so we’re going to place a torch right there hopefully that’s not going to be detected by anything let’s sneak our way

Across here across this little abandoned mine shaft looking bridge and now we are really in the heart of the ancient city there’s a shrieker right up there there’s a skull catalyst right there this doesn’t look like the safest environment to be and this mysterious deep slate frame seems to have been partly

Taken over by a geo the geode has like glomped onto the side of the portal frame that’s kind of fascinating looking actually and i hope that that hasn’t destroyed any of the reinforced deep sleep because these portals are one of the remaining mysteries about ancient cities nobody really knows what the

Intention is here and the developers aren’t saying anything about what’s going on here so it may be that in the future these are going to be an actual portal like a nether portal that will open up to a different dimension or a different area of the game that we

Haven’t seen added yet or it may be that they are a misdirect and they lead to something else entirely we’re not entirely certain yet and we’re not going to get answers about that for a while i have a feeling but for now it does make these ancient cities look like something

That we will want to return to in future now as far as skull shriek is around here i think i can be relatively safe so i’m going to take some of the sensors off the top of this portal here and we’ll break all of the skulk vein on

This just to make sure that yes the reinforced deep slate here is really all there and on this side i want to break this out just to make sure that yeah okay that is at least a complete frame so the generation of this amethyst geode attached to one side has not done

Anything to destroy the frame that is good news i was worried we’d get a situation like we sometimes get with end portals where if a ravine generates over them in the past sometimes that leads to the structure of the end portal being destroyed seems like that hasn’t

Happened here which is at the very least some good news now once again i’m going to dance around a little bit here to show you that yes the skulk sensors around here are lighting up the redstone lamps when we walk near them and the cool part about that is they’re doing it

Silently this is something i didn’t cover in yesterday’s episode because i really wanted to demonstrate it as part of exploring our ancient city environment here but if you hop up onto the top of these lamps you will see that the skulk sensors are actually embedded in water and the water is what’s making

Them silent if you water log a skulk sensor it doesn’t make a noise when you activate it and that makes them incredibly dangerous as far as players are concerned because not only will they not make a sound to indicate exactly where they are you’ll kind of have to

Rely on visual evidence of where they are but it also makes it possible to conceal silent traps without you ever knowing about them and that is potentially very risky for players who play in a competitive environment or a pvp server got a few more skulk sensors to grab around here but nothing major

And what i’m wondering is does this little section down here have the secrets that i have heard about because in some cities there is a chest up there that has something to eat in it usually a golden apple of some kind but no it looks like this city has generated

Without that for some reason maybe the skulk took it over but down here underneath that portal frame this is one of the most interesting features to me as far as the ancient city structure goes because this is effectively a redstone testing lab there are a few experiments in here which are basically

Set up to show you a few different things about how redstone works you’ve got a redstone block that’s outputting a signal through a couple of blocks and this is really intended to show the player that if you pass a signal through a solid block that the signal will come

Out the other side but if you pass it through a transparent block like glass the signal will not be conducted it’s teaching you some of the basics of redstone that might be a little esoteric that might be a little unfamiliar to players who are just starting the game

And don’t have any in-game instruction on how redstone works you can see that a lectern read by a comparator would produce a redstone signal and that’s really indicating that you should put a written book on here and turn the pages to light the lamp up the comparator is

Even a hint at the different levels that you can detect if you have a written book with multiple pages over here we have a target block which if you shoot it is going to activate the lamp down at the end of there and in this room we

Have something that i haven’t even done as part of this series yet as far as i’m aware this is a pulse extender made using comparators so once you switch this on and then switch it off again it takes a while to power down the signal reduces over time and

Every redstone lamp in this kind of snake of redstone lamps here deactivates one after another this is all super fascinating and is probably something that we will come back to in future there’s a lot of really interesting redstone instructional stuff down there so if that is your jam and you feel like

You want to learn a little bit more about the basics of redstone then these can be a cool place to go but for now let’s return to the walkways of our ancient city and i think from this point forward i’m going to try and be a little

Bit more reckless in how i explore here because i do want to encounter the warden in this episode mostly so we can talk about strategies for avoiding contact with it i’m still going to run around on this wool walkway a lot of the time because that does feel like what

We’re supposed to do here but i think we’ll trip the occasional skulk shrieker here and there as we explore yep we’ve done that we’ve managed to trip a shrieker down there and once again the darkness is going to roll in gosh it’s so so frightening when that happens like

Not being able to see very far in this game is honestly really quite scary i do also need to pop down my shulker box and put some of the stuff in here just so we can keep that safe for the minute and let’s wander off through the city now

We’ve got a couple of skulk sensors and catalysts down here so i’m going to grab those because they’re not near any of the shriekers and i do also want to make sure that we leave a couple of the shriekers intact because i want an area down here where we can intentionally

Summon the warden if we want to i want an area where we can at least be guaranteed a warden encounter in future if we want to use that for anything because i have a feeling we might be able to do some cool stuff with the warden but from this central hallway that kind

Of leads up to the main altar where the reinforced deep slate frame is there are a few bridges that lead out to the site and there’s some ladders so you can get back up onto the main hallway if you fall down into this kind of moat that’s

Around the outside we’ve got a shrieker or two up here there’s at least one next to the skulk sensors let’s see if we can take that out and yep there wasn’t another striker nearby okay so we are still on strike one here’s another kind of fascinating element over here there

Is a mound of wool it sort of feels like a campsite of sorts like somebody has erected a tent that has collapsed or something like that but the idea here i think is that this is a deposit of wool that you can grab to do what we’re doing

Really with our red and green wool and marking our way around these ancient cities like the pathways around here it’s really meant to be an indication that wool is your friend in these areas so let’s sneak on over the skulk let’s see if we can grab a little bit more of

This wool from over here not that we need it of course but it is kind of cool to have the wool colors that we can grab from the ancient cities themselves and you know what i think i kind of need the wood from these as well because i am

Short on wood for torches and even though there’s an abandoned mine shaft nearby it is hanging from the ceiling oh and we’re tripping a lot of sensors every time i put down a torch i don’t like that but i think we should be okay

If we make our way to the end here and it looks like that is the outer limit of this part of the end city but these structures are huge and sprawling and lead out in a bunch of different directions and it’s really quite interesting exploring these and seeing

Which parts you are naturally guided down as you explore this area and which parts you’re really meant to discover on your own there’s a little pool here there’s a little kind of i don’t know ritual bathing pool i i don’t like it whatever it is we’ve got another one of

These altars here we’ve got a couple of shriekers nearby and nope yet we’ve already where was that skulk sensor it must be hidden underground or something oh and speaking of underground these altars are actually some of the only things you can see once the darkness starts to roll in and the warden has

Been alerted let’s continue to sneak around there is one skulk sensor here that’s right next to the skulk shriekers as well let’s see if we can take that out no there’s a ton more around there okay that was a bad idea the subtitle said the warden draws close

And that is as close as i want it to get to be honest but i also really want the loot from this chest is this the point at which we’re going to summon the warden i think it might be all right let’s grab that yep we got a couple of

Glow berries we got some thorns i don’t even want that enchantment okay and there is the warden okay so it might be kind of difficult to see but i’m pillaring up on top of some wool right now because that’s probably going to be our first port of call when it

Comes to avoiding the warden we want to make sure that wherever it spawns in we are protected and i can kind of see it in the darkness there but i need to get away from wherever the warden is walking around and it won’t be able to peel her

Up here to get to us although i am slightly worried that i’ve left it too close to some areas that it could just walk up onto my little line of wool here and it’s underneath us right now it’s sniffing for us but thankfully it cannot hear me moving

Around on top of the wall so i’m really just out here to avoid it now another thing we can do is throw a snowball over there and oh no it’s heard me throw at the snowball that’s a concern the warden has maybe noticed us and we

Want to get a decent distance away from it it’s certainly very good at following me so i think what i’m going to do is i’m going to run back down this pathway which i can barely see at this point i’m gonna try and get further away and then

I’m gonna throw a snowball and have it land somewhere near the warden okay and that should have distracted it to the point where it’s not looking for me it’s looking for the source of that snowball sound and that’s something i can use to get away in this direction if i’m

Walking on wool the whole time then hopefully i’m going to be able to get away from the warden let’s throw another snowball out into the darkness yep i think i think we may have distracted it the most important thing is not to directly hit the warden with the snowballs that we’re throwing because

That is going to make it take notice of you okay right we’ve got away from the warden far enough that the darkness effect hasn’t yet no it’s kind of zeroing in on our location let’s throw one more snowball over here and it’s still sniffing for us

So it’s still going to be able to track us down but i think honestly running to the other end of our wool pathway and waiting it out over here is probably going to be a smart move yeah that at least gives us an idea of where we’ve

Been and where the warden currently is and it looks like it’s just hanging out behind those blocks over there i’ll try and take a look with the spyglass but i don’t want to trip anything with the noise of the spyglass it’s trying to sniff for us but it doesn’t know

Whereabouts we are and if it’s walking off in that direction then that’s a good thing because eventually it’s going to start to get bored it’s going to realize that we are not in that area and it’s probably just going to burrow back underground where it came from in the

First place now the beating of its heart has slowed down which means it isn’t super angry with us anymore we could throw a snowball over there but once again if it hears stuff it’s more likely to stick around and try and look for the source of the sound whereas if

Everything is quiet right now if we’re far enough away from the warden that we don’t need to worry about it being a direct threat then i think we should be able to outlast it and it will just wait for long enough that it’s ready to burrow back down into the ground but

Once again you’ve seen here how pillaring up has been probably the best strategy that we could do and then using some silent blocks these wool blocks that we can take around with us is vital to making sure that we avoid being heard by the warden when it is nearby and

There it goes you can just about see it if i i thought i was going to be able to get the spyglass out in time it kind of burrows back down into the ground after it is done sniffing around for the player and decides that it cannot find

You so that has been a successful way of avoiding the warden and gosh it’s very very tense for a while but you’re just about able to avoid it if you stay up high stay on top of wool so it can’t hear your footsteps and try and avoid

Tripping any of the other stuff around here that’s going to detect the vibrations of your movements and your footsteps now this really seems like a situation in which it’s going to be difficult to get rid of these two skull shriekers because we have a sensor down

There a sensor up there and a sensor buried in the ground and as we learned the other day occluding that sensor with wool is going to be virtually impossible because even if you put a block on top of it the vibrations can be transmitted through the blocks to the sides so i’m

Wondering if maybe we can kind of do the opposite thing and put some wool around the outside of this skulk sensor here and around the outside of that one there and maybe we can prevent the vibrations from opening this chest being transmitted to any of the sensors around the outside

Nope looks like we couldn’t okay well we have the other side discs so that’s something we can celebrate and the warden is back so as you can see even if the warden has gotten bored and despawned from our first encounter we still have a few strikes with the skulk

Shriekers so that is something we need to be aware of and hopefully we should be able to successfully distract the warden using these snowballs it’s going to be sniffing around for us and it looks like it might have got an idea of where i am so let’s tell it that i’m over there

I think that seems like a sensible thing and let’s start bridging in the opposite direction this is kind of the way i wanted to go next in the ancient city anyway but once the darkness effect wears off then that’s the point at which we will know the warden is no longer

Really within our radius and it’s not going to be able to sniff for us let’s throw one more snowball down there yep that’s distracted the warden all right this is actually kind of a perfect environment to observe the warden if we can guide it out into this big open

Space we’ve got to make sure that we don’t just spam snowballs though because one of the features of the warden is that it gets angry at the source of a projectile making noise if it hears enough projectiles within a short span of time so if we end up throwing a bunch

Of snowballs over there it’s just going to get angry at the person throwing the snowballs this feels like a nature documentary right now i’ve got my cup of tea and i’m just watching the warden roam around in its natural environment see it lumber through the mysterious maze provided by this ancient

Forgotten city left behind by civilizations untold and forgotten and there it goes of course it’s entered this little private environment of its own if it’s going to despawn well fine we’ll get a look at the despawn animation another time but man it’s kind of funny that the warden

Has evaded us in that respect it’s also really funny looking back at the trail that we have left ourselves it’s honestly really disorienting with that darkness effect placing wool like this and by the way for those of you who are obviously you know not too keen on

The darkness effect there is now i believe a slider for it somewhere in here i think it may be in accessibility settings yeah here we go darkness pulsing this can control how much the darkness effect really comes through when the warden or the skull shrieker

Gives it to you and i have that set to 100 because honestly for my personal taste i really like the atmosphere of having the room go completely dark the scared feeling that that brings out is really part of the experience for me but for folks who don’t like it it is

Possible to dial that down in the accessibility settings if being disoriented like that is a concern for you i basically used two stacks of red wool running around this area so i think we’re probably going to switch to the green wool for now and we may end up having to revisit that little

Campsite area that i was talking about or maybe mine out one of the pathways here if we need a little bit of extra wool but there is a chest up here which i would like to investigate maybe disable that skulk shrieker before we do let’s try and get down here if we can

We’ll drop down onto a wool platform and i think we can break this one shrieker and hopefully that won’t alert the sensors down below perfect okay i think we’re good now we can hop up here and we can open up this chest and see what’s up we got some more

Echo shards perfect i think we have plenty of those for now we don’t quite have enough disc fragments yet and honestly i’m gonna take an unbreaking three book i love an unbreaking three book one thing to remember here is that falling on wool isn’t always going to

Muffle the sound of your fall because full damage itself has that sharp crack sound that is completely unavoidable if you fall beyond a certain point so i think it’s actually going to be worthwhile making sure that you fall slowly here and oh gosh we’ve tripped another shrieker okay i don’t know if

The warden is yep no the warden’s coming out all right well we do have a pit of lava down here so let’s see if we can trick the warden into falling in lava if we throw a snowball down there yeah the warden has taken notice he’s got a little diving

Board here let’s see if we can get it to walk into lava i think that’ll be kind of a fun strategy here and right now it is literally waiting in lava it moves slowly but as you can see the warden is completely unaffected by being

In lava as far as i can tell it will not drown in water either so it looks like the warden is going to be able to sniff us out no matter what environment it is in keeping it in lava might be a good defense against how fast

The warden can move though because i’ve seen it try and pursue players once it takes notice of you and it knows where you are it can be relentless yeah i kind of get the sense that he can’t despawn while he’s down there in the lava so we

Might need to throw a snowball or two to see if we can guide him out of this pit and hopefully once he’s up on a solid block he’ll be able to despawn i don’t really know but for now i’m probably just gonna wander off and leave him be

In his little lava bar the important thing to note though is that there can be more than one warden i’ve been using the warden the entire time to talk about him but it’s really wardens because if you trip another skulk shrieker in a different part of the ancient city if

It’s a reasonable distance away from the other skull shriekers that have detected you then yes it will summon a second warden so chances are you might encounter more than one of these if you’re unlucky and if you’re especially unlucky you might end up with more than

One of them fighting you at once so that’s something to be concerned about for now though i’m more concerned about what’s in this chest and it looks like we’ve got more music disc fragments and an enchanted golden apple well that’s absolutely fantastic so nice to have

Another one of those and they should be slightly more common down here in the ancient city loot chests so very glad that we’ve got one of those from today’s trip we’ve now got seven music disc fragments so hopefully one more chest should be enough and it seems like the

Heartbeat from that warden over there has diminished meaning it’s probably either just naturally despawned from us being too far away or it’s burrowed back into the ground after all there are so many skulk sensors around this little area but thankfully no more shriekers so that’s not a concern for us we can hop

On out of here and let’s see if we can find one more loot chest to see if we can wrap up music disc 5. throughout this whole thing it feels like we haven’t covered most of the ancient city really and i expect the loot chest and the structures are going to be fairly

Similar throughout it’s kind of like a stronghold where it generates in a modular way with lots of different iterations on the same sets of rooms and the same loot chests and stuff like that but i think it may be worth just hopping up in here and seeing what else we can

Grab from the surrounding rooms as long as we don’t risk triggering another warden over here it’s also really cool seeing that geode opened up next to the central portal frame that’s super cool we do have a little room over here with a chest in it let’s bridge on over with

Our remaining lime wool and let’s see if we can grab anything from here or if it’s going to be too dangerous oh this one’s looking exceptionally risky to be honest because we could probably occlude the skulk sensors from hearing us opening the chest but there’s one up

There there’s two up here there’s two down there and one at a diagonal from a sensor in fact two of them are diagonal from the shriekers which really makes that one of the more difficult situations because you can’t really occlude the vibrations especially well especially if they’re diagonally

Downwards like that because we can’t place any wool around that sensor without breaking blocks so instead let’s go for the wall of wool strategy where we’re just going to place a massive wall of wool in front of this and hopefully we should now be able to open up this

Chest without any of these hearing me yes there we go and we got ourselves a fortune three diamond hoe out of that that is not too bad a few bone fragments some glow berries and a regen potion that would be really handy to have here actually unfortunately no more music

Disc fragments but that’s fine because it looks like there’s plenty more of the city to explore oh did not mean to do that um do we have any more strikes left no we don’t okay i’m off i’m gonna be up here on my tower i think

And oh gosh oh gosh it’s on top of my wool bridge let’s see if we can lure it down real quick because yeah i really didn’t think about how i was basically building a bridge straight to myself i think the best thing i can do here is

Probably to break out some of the blocks of the bridge and some of those are actually going to drop on the ground you know what i also have these bottles of enchanting from the chest so maybe we can throw those to distract the warden maybe one of

Those breaking is going to distract the warden here i’m actually getting my fireworks out just in case here because i honestly don’t know what’s about to happen i can’t see whereabouts the warden is and i think it’s on to me but i don’t know where it’s going to find me

Oh gosh oh gosh okay it’s roaring it’s roaring at me i don’t know what that means so i think i’m gonna try flying but i don’t know where to oh gosh i genuinely cannot see a thing right now i’m flying blind and i’m flying at lava

Oh gosh oh that’s rough yeah i’m really glad this is a big open cabin because i got the sense that the warden actually heard where i was i think i threw a couple of projectiles and it did end up noticing where i was after that i think

I was maybe a little bit too hasty trying to distract it and it figured out my location from that so to be honest i think we were better off getting out of there entirely and down here i think if we can very carefully make our descent

Crouching the whole way i think there is just one skulk shrieker here that we can disable and then hopefully we should be able to claim the chest that’s up here all right all right looks like we are in the clear man you really have to tackle these ancient cities like you are

Defusing a bomb sometimes and that’s kind of an intense thing to be doing right here but let’s pillar up using the skulk blocks seeing as i’m basically out of wool at this point so i think our ancient city adventure is probably going to end around here we’re going to grab

These two skulk sensors check that there aren’t any more shriekers around no it’s just sensors and a catalyst and it looks like oh we still don’t have we have another enchanted golden apple two enchanted golden apples in the same chest oh my gosh that is really quite something and we have another swift

Sneak to book along with a couple of pairs of diamond leggings which really aren’t too bad at least we’re safe in the knowledge that we can open our shulker box here and we’re not gonna trip any more skulk shriekers but man the loot here has honestly been pretty

Fun it’s kind of nice to get hold of some more enchanted golden apples we got ourselves the other side disc finally this thing is super rare and while it’s more common down here in the ancient cities you can only find it occasionally in dungeons or strongholds it’s about as

Rare actually as the enchanted golden apples so i’m so glad we’ve got hold of that the echo shards and music disc fragments are going to be fun to play around with and we have more skulk sensors and shriekers of course from this mission so far but i am still so

Curious whether or not we’re going to find any more music disc fragments down here i think we’re probably going to call it quits for now though because i’m out of wool i need to go back and get some more wool and honestly i’d like to return here with the intent of actually

Fighting the warden for some of this loot so i think we’re gonna save that for another time and from up here on the abandoned mine shaft i can actually take a look at my route around the city based on some of these bits of wool around here you can really tell where we

Encountered the warden and when we had to run and i think that’s a really fascinating artifact of our time here we’ll be back i think we’ll be coming back to this ancient city a couple of times and honestly if you want to remove all of the skulk shriekers from this

Environment there’s one skulk center that’s like on the top of this pillar and it’s being triggered by a bat constantly that’s really quite funny but if we want to come back here and if you want to remove all of the shriekers from this environment you’re basically making it warden proof and since the

Environment is already mob proof this could be a really cool place to set up a base renovate one of these ancient cities and turn it into your own personal base wouldn’t that be a cool idea i think maybe we’ll end up doing that at some point in the future of the
