Exploring the Four Types of Bastion! ▫ The Minecraft Survival Guide (Tutorial Lets Play) [Part 315]

Hello everyone my name is pixel riffs and welcome back to the Minecraft Survival Guide I hope you guys are having a good day today I’m getting geared up I’ve even got my nether right to chest plate on me I’ve even repaired my boat need to put the string away

Because today today we are going to be working on finding all four types of pig ‘ln bastion remnants I’m gonna try and track down all of them so we can do a comprehensive overview of what you will find out there in the nether while you are exploring and I am gonna be doing

This before the pig Lin brute is implemented into the game so we will be returning to bastions at some point right now I believe the piglet brute is supposed to generate when a structure is generated for the first time so we are not gonna see the piglet brute in

Today’s video and we will have to go looking for other bastions when they are added to the game but as of the time of this recording it is not the case so we will hopefully be able to go back into another episode about them in future but without further ado we’re gonna step

Through into the nether and try and find the first of our four bastion remnants and I have dipped into my shelter boxes here just so I can grab a couple of things that are going to help us raid at the bastion first of all we’ve got the

Hoppers which we can use to drain pig Lin’s chests without them realizing and I’ve also got a couple of chests minecarts here just in case we need to pop down some storage and sort through exactly what it is or we have found by the way I have been working a little bit

Off-camera on exposing at the center of my nether hub here because I really want to be able to see this giant compass that we built in a previous episode and I really like the way this is coming together so we’ll probably do a couple of episodes in future about redesigning

To some of the aspects of this adding in these extra biomes maybe putting a roof on this thing I think we’re gonna be doing some nether hub work in the near future but for now I want to head out into the wastes of the nether and find

At some of these bastions and there is one in this direction that we’ve seen in a previous episode and even dipped our toes into but I feel like needs exploring in more detail and oh that took a lot of flying around my Electra is almost torn to shreds but here we are

Back at this location where we have a bridge bastion remnants these are named after the bridge section which often appears coming out of the mouth of this enormous rendering of a pig Lynn and I really like the design here they’ve clearly put a lot of effort into exactly what this

Is supposed to look like and it shows this decaying Pig Lin head with the kind of hands raised either side is pretty awesome and there are so many gusts around here I haven’t even got a soul sound Valley nearby I just need to take care of these guys so we can explore

Properly without them attacking the pig Lin’s horse there we go yes so let’s hop in here and see what we’ve got I believe I have raided a couple of chests in this one already but I haven’t broken them so I can at least show you

Guys where they are so if you hop down into the head section here where these lava Falls are kind of behind the eye sockets of the pig Lin’s you’ll find a chest on one side over here I believe you’ll also find a at chests matching this on the opposite side which is a

Little bit buried in the nether rack here but I’m fairly certain somewhere down here there is gonna be an identical chest as with many other bastion remnants you’ll find blocks of gilded black stone which will be very tempting as you explore these structures but take note the piglets will attack you if you

End up and mining that stuff out and then around the back here the back of the head leads around to this little area where we can probably collect up some of that lava if we want to I’ve flown up onto the head section to see if

We can get a closer look from up here and see if there are any chests up here that we have missed it doesn’t look like there isn’t aha okay so you guys may remember from my first episode where I raided a bastion it was kind of enshrouded in other terrain and we

Couldn’t see exactly what type of bastian that was well that gives us a bit of a clue that what we were looking at was in fact one of these bridge bastions there’s completely surrounded by terrain because that right there is one of the little pig Lin statues of the

The hog Lin kind of element I guess where they’ve got a small statue made of gold blocks which could be very valuable for us to mine obviously the pig limbs are gonna get a little bit mad at us if we do you know we might be able to make

Our way down here and if the mood takes us we can swipe some of those gold blocks it looks like there are a couple of pig Lin’s hanging around here though and since this borders a basalt Delta I need to be especially careful that there aren’t too many pockets of lava hiding

In amongst these but now at least we get to see how these statues generates in all their glory and it does seem like they didn’t have a top section of the head like I originally thought they do just have a set of gold blocks here with the two

Quartz slabs as tusks on this pedestal with a pig Lin snout chiseled black stone there that’s very cool-looking and these pig limbs are clearly patrolling to see if I’m going to take the gold and you know what I think I am so let’s let’s grab a little bit of this that

Will anger them a little bit but they aren’t really gonna be able to make their way up here and I can just take the high ground and snipe a bunch of them from the top perfect I don’t hear any more pig limbs hanging around I’ve

Got to say that seemed to go pretty well as long as you stay elevated then pig limbs won’t normally be able to get to you and if they do just giving them a couple of swift taps with the sword and you’ll probably be fine but for your transgressions you will get yourself 16

Or so blocks of gold I actually managed to get 15 that time and I think it’s because one of them was replaced by a magma block thanks to the basalt Delta here but this section here has a bunch of a lava flows coming in from the walls

It has a few pieces of chiseled basalt or polished basalt coming down from the ceiling which looks very pretty and as we come back up and around here we can take a look at the rest of this structure I’m pretty certain that this chest here is one that we’ve already

Drained of its contents but let’s pop down a hopper encase no it looks like we haven’t okay we get another gold block for our efforts very nice I will grab that I may as well check out the chest on the opposite site here as well there

Might even be a couple of other chests hidden further down in the structure so we’ll take a quick look and see if we can grab some more of those many of these bastions will have corridor like structures that really don’t lead anywhere especially some of the bastions

Themselves are kind of thin and that you’ll just find yourself coming out the other side and sometimes they contain those winding passages downwards into the base of the structure which as we’ve seen in previous episodes often contains areas with hidden vaults of gold blocks which could be worth seeking out if

You’re into collecting gold while you’re here in the nether hoping on further down it looks like I’ve found a couple more chests which I can drain of their contents yet looks like we’ve still got some stuff in here and I’ll work on this one on the opposite side as well so once

Again using a hopper this way is going to mean that the pig lines don’t mad at you for checking out the contents of the chests and it looks like we’ve got some gilded black stone here as well very nice couple of crossbows a couple of pieces of gold armor another gold

Block and some iron nuggets that looks like all we’re getting this time around and I’ll probably just dump the rest of the stuff on the floor here so you’ll find that those chests tend to occur about halfway up the arms on this side where there is a large opening you might

Find lava flows obstructing some of it but you’ll certainly be able to get to an area like that that contains those chests let’s see if there is one around here on the opposite side that mirrors that looks like it may actually be enclosed up here so let me see if we can

Staircase up to that through the lava which is a little bit precarious but oh look it looks like we have a gold block over here that might be what they are hiding and typically in these bastions if you find some of the chiseled black stone brick you will typically find some

Sort of reward hiding behind it this seems to be where the pig lands indicates that they are hiding something precious that’s like we have made a couple of the mad so I’m expecting them to come around the corner any second but they have a tendency to take a bit of

Full damage so chances are they might have ended up injuring themselves on the way down and while they are milling around up there I’m gonna make my escape and fly out to a safe distance to either hopefully reset their aggro or at least get myself out of harm’s way and from

The outside almost like looking at a doll’s house we can see the piglets walking up and down at these winding staircases and corridors that make up the base of these bastions and for the most part you will not find any loot chests down there as I’ve seen in

Previous videos it’s mainly just a warren of corridors which sometimes it leads to more of that chisel the black stone with the pig snout on it behind which you might find the occasional block of gold but once again when you get further down into the structure that

Is going to be a case of fighting your way back out once you have mined any of the gold or the gilded black stone as it may happen to be that you find down there you may also occasionally find some hog Lin’s down here and I believe

These hog liens do generate with the structure it’s not like a hog Lin stables section of a bastion which can be found elsewhere but I do think a couple of these will have generated with the structure because hog lines are certainly not native to the nether wastes or basalt deltas that surrounded

This particular Bastion so beware when you’re exploring these things a hog line or two may not be far behind but that does seem to be it for this bastion we don’t seem to have anything else at lurking around here so I’m gonna take off and head for the next

Bastion on our list which is going to be the Hoglund stables luckily for me it doesn’t take too much exploring to find at one of these a hog Lin stables Bastion pretty close to my central spawn location so here we are this is a little bit trickier to navigate there are

Broken up corridors here and as you can see there are a bunch of hog lines in each of them some of them just the tiny ones though so we can probably take care of those nice and easily they’re gonna come back for another piece of meat in a

Second but they are nowhere near as dangerous as the larger ones you’ll find these areas staffed by pig Lin’s as well which is funny considering the relationship between pig Lin’s and hog Lin’s Hoagland’s are sometimes hunted by a larger packs of pig Lin’s and yeah you

Will find that they are on all levels of this broken up structure the whole thing is a lot of navigation a lot of winding corridors and areas that are completely rundown meaning there are holes in the landscape everywhere often two large areas of lava below and this one in

Particular is a really great example to show you guys but is also right in the middle of a lava lake so there’s really no escape for me except to fly out of here now in terms of the chests I could find in this structure I have a feeling

That I have raided and this particular example already but once again I’m gonna pop in here and see if there is anything I can snag from underneath the eyes and ears of these pig Lin’s looks like I did leave a couple of things in here let’s

See what we can drain out of the hoppers Oh looks like we have a snout banner pattern that is very good I always like picking up more of those we’ve got a few iron uh Gertz and some string once again not the most stellar treasure in the

World but I’ll take it it’s better than nothing in this case you will often find the chests for these structures in at the ramparts sections at the back and sides you won’t find quite as many chests down here in the main body of the structure so if you are a little bit

Troubled by the sheer number of Hoagland’s that spawn in this place you can basically leave well enough alone you might find the occasional gold block down here but as far as I can tell there aren’t really meant to be many chests down here in the rest of this structure

Yeah and I think it’s happening I think I just heard a hog line versus Pig limb battle happening up here and I have a feeling that that pig Lin there may actually be on the hunt it’s certainly after this hog Lin in particular maybe

We can help it along there we go get you taken care of so occasionally when the Hoagland’s get the upper hand maybe the other pig Lin’s feel like stepping in and making sure that the population is curbed slightly well it looks like we have explored basically everything I can

From this area I really don’t seem to find a whole lot of chests around here there might be one in the front of this section wow that pig Lin really got tossed into the air didn’t it yeah it looks like I’ve raided all the chests that this one has to offer

Unfortunately so only a little bit of loot from this one I think this may have been where we got a couple of gold ingots and things like that but by and large you will not find a huge amount of treasure in these Hoglund stable bastions and luckily for me on my way

Back from finding that original bridge Basti and I stumbled upon at one of these this is a housing units Bastion and the design of these is not immediately eye-catching at first glance of course they look much the same as some of the other bastions in terms of materials the difference

Here is that there is this kind of two-stage rampart you’ll notice roughly down the middle there it kind of copies a pattern over from one side to the other you’ll see it’s kind of the same structure twice and you’ll notice that down here there is this kind of asymmetrical structure where a housing

Unit ends up going down into in this case the nether rack here so let’s fly around and see if we can get a better angle on what’s happening here there you go further down into the structure you’ll find some broken down areas that look a little bit like the hog Lin

Stables instead of having hog Lin’s though they will probably have a few more pig limbs because these are supposed to be the barracks of sorts where the pig lines will make their home so chances are you will find a few more gold blocks lurking in here which the

Pig lines are hoarding as some of their prized possessions but before we go into that let’s head up to the ramparts up here and do our usual thing of looting the chests now in terms of access to loot these are potentially going to be some of the more valuable bastions to

Find because they’ve usually got a row of two chests with each of the rampart sections which means four chests total usually a double chest and the single chest but no less valuable for it we put our hoppers down here so the locals that don’t exactly know that I’m

Stealing from them and back at my storage area I’ve actually prepared a few shelcha boxes where we can compare the lutes we’re getting from each of these so hopefully if gods don’t decide to blow me up I should be able to compare thee in a second or two and thankfully the ghast completely

Obliterating that loot chest did not blow up my hopper and it doesn’t seem to have angered the pig Lin’s at all so that’s totally fine all right a little bit more gilded black stone Ian here’s some bone blocks a few gold nuggets this is all looking fairly familiar at this

Point in time I am actually really enjoying getting the occasional spectral arrows because occasionally that means I can shoot a ghast from a distance and the ghast glows as it dies that kind of a a fun effect looks like we got another gold block from that one and some boots

With soul speed to which we’ve documented in our other episodes kind of worth having if you are exploring these bastions for the first time and you need yourself a little bit of easier transport around the nether but honestly not the most valuable thing for me to

Find here man these pig limbs are noisy when a zombie pig Lin gets in here the zombie pig Lin really doesn’t care but all of these pig Lin’s are running around the corner trying to get away from it at any time it just randomly paths finds around they kind of freak

Out and I feel a little bit sorry for them to be honest but now having looted that we need to head down into the center of these housing units because often towards the middle you will find areas like this this right here is a nether wart growing field and around

That you’ll find chests like this which can be looted and are probably going to contain some of the more valuable loot that this area has to offer I expect it may be more of the same given what we’ve already found and we are gonna find it generating quite close to lava down here

Which means it’s gonna potentially be a little bit hazardous to retrieve the hopper after this but there we go we’ve got a soul speed one book that’s our first enchanted book that we’ve managed to find the usual amount of magma creams string and bone blocks at that kind of

Stuff a gold chest plate or two that I don’t necessarily need so I’m gonna chuck those out we’ll take the soul speed book we might as well be getting these from piglet bartering anyway but it’s always worth having one more and yet the hopper got lost to lava

Oh well fair enough as you can see through the black stone in the distance you will occasionally find a chest surrounding this area as well so these are definitely going to be one of the more lucrative bastions to find if you want to raid at one of these you will

Find a lot of the same loot that we’ve been finding elsewhere but tucked away in little cubbies like this it is definitely worth investigating more gold nuggets and spectral arrows very good I’ll definitely take the bone blocks as well I am enjoying getting a lot of bone

Blocks because it means more bone meal for me to use in farms in the overworld will chuck the armor out and it looks like we are not getting anything else from this chest in particular so I think we’ll call this one done I’m fairly certain there isn’t anything else

Special that we need to find around here but once again remember to check these Warren like corridors of black stone up from time to time because you will occasionally find some areas like this where we have some snout blocks as I’ve been thinking of them and once you dig

Those up you’re likely to find some gold blocks underneath the floor which if you feel like messing with the local pig lines collect them knock yourself out see how far it gets you I certainly feel like giving it a try and I haven’t got my chest plate on right now but yeah it

Looks like these guys are definitely hella line up and have a shot at me all right while I can I’m gonna grab these gold blocks I’m gonna eat a gold carrot and it looks like everything is very very gold themed around here but I reckon it’s probably time to make my

Escape so goodbye housing units and I think that one is definitely going to be one to look for but perhaps the most valuable and the most dangerous bastion of all is the one you see here in front of us this is a treasure room bastion and already we can see outward signs of

Opulence from where we stand at right here I’m gonna try and land in amongst these lava lakes and I have brought a couple of the potions of fire resistance that the pig ones have been bartering with me because there is a lot of lava involved in this one as well and the

Danger is greater than most but the reward is also pretty great you will recognize these from the outside by the sheer size of them as well as the fact that these are perhaps the most well put together looking bastions of the lot there are some pretty organized columns

Here there are these giant bridge sections with troughs of lava underneath and this side is looking a little bit broken down but this side here is looking at pretty well fortified these things are meant to be built to last you can kind of see the pig Lin snout

Designed their above the door because this is where the pig limbs hides the majority of their treasure we’re not gonna loot this quite yet but I’m gonna look down on the center and see what we have down here because oh oh yes there are some gold blocks down there my

Friends and there is other treasure besides but first let’s head over to this direction let’s see if we end up finding a couple of loot chests in the ramparts here I am fairly certain that we will there are usually some precarious staircases that will take you

Up the sides here as well so no worries if you don’t have a light tray you should be able to make your way up here and in this room at lit by a couple of lanterns you will find a couple of at lingering loot chests so let’s hop with

The contents out of these and see what we end up getting this looks like the usual sort of fare a couple of chains some gold equipment and a crossbow or two I’m not really that interested in that stuff will probably drop it all off as we continue around let’s see what’s

In this guy oh there we go we hit the jackpot that time some ancient debris there’s another one I don’t have to mine I guess towards the eventual nether right beacon that is the plan at least once again it crossbows and that kind of stuff I’m not that interested in it will

Probably drop those off and there certainly is a whole pack of pig lines up here so I’m gonna try and dig my way around them and see if there is anything else to be found up here on the top levels yeah looks like we have another chest down here these actually have a

Multiple sections of ramparts each of which can contain a series of chests so let’s see if we get anything good in this once again ancient debris would be absolutely grand but I don’t know if we’re gonna get a whole lot of that yeah once again we ended up with a few swords

And a few crossbows and I guess some arrows that I’ll chuck away because I don’t really need them I’ve got infinity on my bow but once again crying obsidian obsidian and gilded black stone probably as some of the highlights here all it means its resources that you don’t have

To mine or barter and it looks like that is at both sections taken care of I’m going to ignore these gold blocks for now cuz the pig limbs will get prematurely mad at me if I end up mining those but of course at once again you could probably go further down into this

Structure and find some more of those little hidey holes where the pig limbs will have buried even more gold blocks further down in the structure once again look for those chiseled pieces of black stone with the pig snout on them and you’ll probably find yourself a few more riches hidden in the walls

But the rich his I am after are gonna be over here in this part of the structure and they are mainly going to be further down towards the center so I’m gonna hop down carefully around some of these bridges and see if we can find any more

Chests to loot around the outsides there are a lot of these suspended walkways hanging in the center of the room which provide a good vantage point for you to be able to see outwards and as you can see over there we do have a couple of other chests lining the outside so

You’ll find at chests spawning around the exterior of this as well as that central treasure pile in the interior and that treasure pile is going to be very heavily guarded and not just by pig Ling’s so we need to take some extra care when we decide to go after that but

I’m gonna hop down here and you will find often that these chest areas are lit up with lanterns so if you don’t see any lava around but you do see light coming from a certain area it’s often a good sign that there are chests around it we’ll

Take a look at that one in just a second for now let’s grab a little bit more of the loot that we’ve got in here or looks good to me yep I’ll take it I’ll take it very nice it looks like we have another chests around here so we are expecting

To get at least three or four chests on the outside here there may even be a couple on the lower levels and then down there I think there may even be a chest hiding amongst those gold blocks we’ll find out in a moment that the second

Chest was hardly worth it we got some crossbows and some string maybe a couple of arrows out of that one it may be some chains as well let’s see if we get anything better out of this one or if I’m just gonna go straight for the

Center yeah we got some soul speed boots out of that one but once again mostly just chains and arrows stuff that I’m not super interested in right now I think the last resort is gonna have to be checking out that treasure room in the center and seeing what it actually

Has so traversing our way down here is going to be a little bit tricky there are some sections here we can jump across to there are some sections we can bridge to maybe make a couple of staircases here and there and there are Enderman wandering around this structure

Well they should not have generated with this they probably just spawned naturally as part of the nether terrain and jumped on in here but as you can hear there are magma cubes inside and they may not be naturally generated at all because down there hanging underneath the bridge is a magma cube

Spawner which you can see is now active and this is the first time a spawner has been added to a vanilla minecraft since I think probably blaze spawner x’ were added which is actually kind of fascinating it means we have a new opportunity to farm another spawner it means we have a new

Mole but that can be farmed from spawn –is in vanilla in survival and this presents some exciting opportunities for a magma cube farm you will find that the spawn at only generates on one side of this bridge though there is not a double spawner inside of here and if you’re the

Kind of person who likes to keep spawn as handy you will want to make sure that that is preserved so that you can farm it later but those of you who are just here to adventure might just end up destroying the spawner to save yourself the trouble because unlike pig Lin’s of

Course that magma cubes are always going to be hostile to you and they are lethal in this update they pack a heck of a punch and with a gold helmet on and potentially some alight tray you’re not gonna have as much defense against the magma cubes attacks as you otherwise

Would have but we’re gonna play it smart we’re gonna drop down here on the opposite side of the bridge and we’re going to glide our way into this treasure room to see what is here now I’m not gonna touch the gold blocks for now what I’m after is this chest in the

Center and hopefully avoiding the attacks of any imagined cubes that wander our way so I’m gonna block off as much of this treasure room as I can and probably block in the roof a little bit as well because there are clearly some holes in there that the magma cubes

Could jump through if they want to squish me there we go we should have protected ourselves from at least three large magma cubes the small ones could still get through the center here but they will not be a huge problem and there’s maybe a little bit of room

Around the back here but we do need somewhere we can make our escape so I’m gonna sacrifice my last hopper here to see what kind of loot is in this chest because in theory we should get the best lutes possible from bastions out of here and there we go we’ve got some more

Ancient debris and then some crying obsidian and some iron nuggets you will occasionally find diamond gear spawning in these loot chests but unfortunately that does not seem to be the case this time and you know what I’m feeling lucky I feel like we could potentially stave

Off any people in attacks and all I need to do is potentially jump in lava at the end of this if we want to avoid them entirely so I’m gonna throw a splash potion in the air and I’m gonna mine out all these gold blocks so that we can take them home

Lutes and hopefully the pig liens aren’t gonna get too mad at me right away and if they do then I can just fight them off leap into the lava and hopefully make my escape from here yep I’m taking a little bit of damage from the magma cubes but hopefully I

Should be able to engage my wings oh okay and I have made my way out Oh on like two hearts worth of health that is not a joke ladies and gents that I’m actually a little bit out of breath right there I thought I was gonna die in

All of that well thank goodness for fire as this potions gold carrots and a little bit of extra defense of course I could have added my nether right chest plate and a nether right helmet into the mix once the pig limbs were mad at me

But oh boy that is a rush it has been rare for a dungeon like this to actually scare me with how easily it could have been for me to die right then so we are lucky that we escaped with our lives a little bit more blockage around the

Outside a little bit more protective barrier here and there we might have been able to do that a little bit more successfully but for now we came away with 14 blocks of gold and a little bit of ancient debris I call that a win ah feels good to be back in the

Overworld after all of that chaos and mayhem at that last treasure room at Bastion but I have prepared the shelcha boxes here so we can review and recap some of the loot that we have got bearing in mind of course that I have been throwing out some of the stuff that

I find a little bit less valuable at these are the items that we got from that treasure room at Basti and there is a lot of gold blocks in there and once again the chance for some ancient debris or even some diamond loot at the bottom of those treasure rooms is sometimes

Worth finding especially if you are trying a nether survival thing and you need yourself some diamond gear looking at what else we’ve got I think the bridges are worth rating as well simply for the gold blocks that you will find in those statues and obviously some gold blocks further down in the

Structure as well plus the loot was pretty good the bridge bastion that I raided before also had some of the pig snout banner patterns and I think that’s where I got either a lodestone or my Pig step music disc so that can’t be ignored either the Hoglund stables is a little

Bit light on the loot side you won’t really find a huge amount of chests there what you will find is a lot of angry hog lines after you so if you want to find yourself some porkchops nice and early I guess you can head over there if

You can’t find a crimson forest nearby the housing units are surprising to me I think you find a fair amount of loot there simply because of the sheer amount of chests that you’re gonna find hidden around the outside there aren’t so many gold blocks that are naturally generated

But they’ll be there you potentially find a few of them and if not you’ll find a fair few of them inside the chests themselves but last but not least of course I think the treasure room is worth it if not for the loot itself and potentially the chance for ancient

Debris and diamond gear but for that magma cube spawner because that means there is a chance for us to make a spawner based magma cube farm at some point in the future of this series and that prospect is more exciting to me than most of the treasure we have here

But folks that is a rundown of the four types of bastions that are now present in Minecraft 1.16 the nether update I do hope you’ve enjoyed taking a look at them with me and best of luck if you decide to raid them yourselves don’t forget to leave a like on this episode
