Uncovering Minecraft’s Deadly Bedrock Map

It’s a Sunday January 21st 2018 a 44 second video is uploaded to the Minecraft forum with the caption found a way back again despite the wording Veil 2core had never posted before but their only other comment gave people the first clue to their disappearance the most insane Unsolved Mystery in Minecraft

Left under the redar where is Veil 2core Veil starts the recording bedrock in every direction and judging by their inventory this is not a new site for them even though we only get a tiny glimpse of things outside we’ve already seen so much that can help contextualize things so immediately a big question arises where is the red arch commenters

Begin to speculate draon asks what the red arch is and that it’s not even there ninj Pope asks anyone see that thing around the corner to which orisi answers it’s a chest AER asks for an interview on a whim I took a page out of aer’s

Book and sent them a friend request and message on Discord they were offline but there was the slightest chance I could get some answers from them in the meantime though Google was the key nothing popped up on images safe for a few different Bedrock Escape rooms some random help requests and lots of

Generally unrelated things until one picture caught my eye wait no way you see that too right it’s like a stronghold so just to really confirm my theory I found all the structure pieces of a stronghold and cross reference them with the original video yeah that’s like half a library I

Think these chains right here are this room right here there’s just tons of libraries really look at that so the issue that’s got me stumped one of the rooms just doesn’t exist in a stronghold this L-shaped room huh who put that there but then I got sent a message that

Changed everything so what does Aur mean I don’t know actually I came up with Aur on I don’t think I remember it’s just always been that way okay that’s all good I was just going to use that as like an introduction um okay where did Veil 2core go you’re going to ask that

Yeah that’s just wrong okay so I went into the interview with a couple questions ready but this was like really weird to me Aker who knows more than anyone about what happened is just shooting me down so I changed gears okay what do you remember that’s it you’re

Not asking the right questions well what should I be asking is that not the obvious question like what do you he left the call Great what is that an IP Address okay Veil server was normal just a bit old the the place looked like one of those buildings you would make in the first version of Minecraft PE like when you only had bricks glass in like wood must have been 10 years old and yet it was still online I checked out all the bases

But the only one that had a sign said it was wraths so no lead there but there were tons of structures to check out one pyramid had bedro Rock On Top there were some super inefficient stairs there was this structure even weirder was this castle that had the brightest bedroom I’ve ever

Seen overall 10 out of 10 server very sketchy I just love the monument de greed sitting right next to spawn is that all gold holy but when a skeleton killed me and I couldn’t find anything I came up with a better plan I should find the stronghold 1.12 makes the whole

Beating the game process a little harder but with some resources from around the server and an hour or two of free time so let’s consider this real quick the Minecraft world is a blank canvas of broken rules and yet strongholds simply don’t spawn under spawn that was the

Final nail there was something useful down there I started by once again cross reference the room Pieces by memory to see if any of them were out of shape like that L-shaped one or if I could find a similar area to veil’s video before they walked into that room none

Of them were shaped like it none of them were out of place except one room at the bottom of some stairs that is definitely not in a normal stronghold what the hell what the hell Huh upon opening the world my guess was something in this Bedrock stronghold thing would be able to lead me to veil’s whereabouts or give me some clue to know if he’s okay with an empty inventory I’ve ventured out a little bit okay the height of this room would definitely pop

Above the Surface by now despite some reservations and you know the fact that Veil went missing because of this place I knew I just had to find that L-shaped room Okay it definitely looks like a stronghold just a little more cramped cuz there’s there’s not exactly a way out what the

What the what the that’s that’s not there there’s no way that’s there I put those chairs there in a single player world who is fing with me right now it was hard to grasp how this happens like even if it’s just as simple as placing blocks how are

Those blocks getting placed in a single player world and why do they match my single player world I wanted to see if I could just break a path around this room but cheats weren’t enabled I tried to open the server to landan but it would immediately swap me back to survival

Every time I tried to do game mode creative I just I just watch more of the video I had missed something right back at the start of the World by the ceiling were slits small Windows to peer outside but with no blocks I couldn’t hope to

See out of it yet yeah no I could jump that yeah yeah until I remembered that someone in the comments noticed a very important detail or dc9 saw the tiniest fraction of a chest they were scattered all throughout the map I just hadn’t seen one yet I set out into the rooms and

Halls and with the help of my trusty notepad to jot down the way back since torches were hard to come by I found one oh let’s go huh it might be the stronghold loot table too damn this place is getting weird Those are my interview stairs that was the final nail seeing my own build that I made last month on this 5-year-old World save was uh I shifted my plan if this world was like changing and bending my things what happened when Vil was here was this cacophony of

Bedrock cubes just some rendition of Vil’s experience did their stronghold turn into this web the new plan with an ender pearl from the stronghold loot table I could just shoot it out of the window and get outside to see what this place did to my stairs and if I could

Take advantage of it I hadn’t gotten lucky on the chest rolls yet but somewhere in here there’d have to be a few and with them I’d be just a tiny bit closer to finding the red arch huh why is that door open do they like naturally spawn like that oh

No I don’t know if I have enough Blocks oh wait hold on That’s doable that’s Doable okay please no way I think I need to die cuz then I can go find a tool and then use my notepad to find the exact place again that’s how I get out That’s This place is not trapping me that Easily I did not expect to be doing that I’m going to be real so what is this place like actively antagonizing me and I can’t even find it are you you’re actually kidding me there’s no way it was just sitting right there oh my God and look there’s going

To be one over here too okay maybe not that But I think I’m just going to go back there and drown myself okay whatever now I can like actually use the notepad and find my way back even though I had used the notepad for an unintended purpose the intended purpose was to read it backwards and work my way to the library

Tower from there it was on this backwards Journey that I really started to wonder and worry about certain things that door into the stair trap why was that open in fact some of the doors in general even back on veil’s SMP they were haved that’s not just a coincidence

Was this a message a foot path on the Bedrock for me to sniff out to be fair I’m guessing you couldn’t leave footprints on Bedrock but you what I mean I wonder what the right questions even are what did that guy Mean all right few more turns then we should be golded what that should be the that should be the door that’s the exact way back what somehow I just knew this would happen I was lost with no way back to the window wrong there was still a trick up my

Sleeve that this place couldn’t steal and and all it took was one button I had gotten video footage of the library’s coordinates it was about a 20 block Trek to find Z and from there I could spin a left and go find x marks the spot you know

Oh yeah I’m not the best at this jumping Thing well I guess that’s kind of an easy way to get to the X whatever was going on here I could only take this as a sign a sign that I was making progress the closer I got to this answer this red arch the closer this Escape got to trapping me but I’ve got more resilience than I can handle and

For me this was a sign to never Stop well that’s not exactly where I wanted to land but I can get there from here plus that andesite is much more useful than bedrock what the hell was that I don’t even want to know okay I want to go check that door that the sign was

In it was seven from the right and four from the bottom if I remember right or if I remember Left well left under the red arch wait that’s an archway and that’s where I’m spawning each time I just need to go back get inside and go left I guess but I am not going Near That Water Wait something’s breaking my bridge no no no no no no no I’m not going to make it holy hell Bale is going to have to pay me good for finding him this is not worth it and now I don’t even trust stairs uh-oh uh you know that’s one way back I

Can just use this place against itself oh huh okay it’s just a minor setb back that Arch hasn’t moved and it isn’t going anywhere I found my way back before I can do that again I guess I just have to keep an eye out for mobs now though but

Hey I’m resourceful just follow the coordinates get back and go left under the red arch left under the red arch left under the red arch there’s no way one obsidian one block two TNT two Pistons a lever a trapo a Bedrock Breaker to get under now

Getting those is a bit of an interesting challenge blocks are easy and obsidian is possible to make here the fountain rooms have Cobblestone but I have andesite too hell I can even use Cobblestone for a lever Pistons take iron Redstone Cobble and wood which I can get from libraries turn those into

Sticks for a lever and grab a trapo but the issue TNT more specifically sand that doesn’t naturally spawn anywhere in here and without it I’m down down actually wait a second that might just be sand I’m uh definitely going to save that for last though the creepers were the easy part

So I just had to get enough wood to there’s never been any wood wait hold on I get thrown back into survival when I try to do SL game mode creative but what happens if I just slash give myself wood yo nice oh my God wait this is Perfect jeez okay well I’m not Swimming Oh how weird this is just left from the Door Okay only two TNT that is one try to do this one try to go under the red arch please Up wonder if his name is actually veiled to blank come here pretty please where I am is that it you say am I supposed to go left after I step through Toore what’s to do with this video is it some type of map it just exists it’s a place an idea or maybe just a video I’m not sure yet but this thing uh Odyssey 8 or something sent me there’s something there but what why look for it if you

Don’t know what it is it’s just worth it I don’t know if you get that well what’s the get you’re not asking the right questions okay then tell me what are the right questions
