I Got The Wither To Fight The Dragon! ▫ The Minecraft Survival Guide (Tutorial Lets Play) [Part 351]

Hello everyone my name is pixariffs and welcome back to the minecraft survival guide i hope you guys are having a good day welcome back for episode 351 i hope you guys had a fantastic holiday if you’re watching this on the day of release and if you’re not i hope you’re

Having a great day regardless so today i’m actually going to be doing a fair bit of action in this episode it’s going to be a little different from the usual building redstone contraptions that kind of stuff because this right here is almost complete this is the museum

Archive i’ve been working on this on and off videos and streams for the last little while and i am finally at the stage where i want to start adding in a few of the last things that i’ve been gathering for this place and then it’s going to serve as basically my main

Storage area for the rest of the museum project we’re going to be storing stuff for exhibits here we’re also going to be storing building materials here and i’ve gotten all the way up to stuff like coral blocks which i expect i won’t need to store a huge amount of but it’s nice

To have bulk storage for them you can see there that i’ve ended up waterlogging slabs underneath these to make sure the coral stays alive next to the dead coral here obviously on the left and we started to think about storage for sticks and saplings and all of the other items that i’ll be

Acquiring in bulk there will probably be slices of storage for things like mob drops ender pearls you know that kind of stuff but the main focus of today’s episode is actually down here or it better not be down here because the main focus of today’s episode is the weather

But of course once you fight the wither enough times you’re able to get yourself a decent amount of beacons and right here next to the storage i have for all of the resource blocks so most of these actually can be beacon bases we’ve got netherrite emerald diamond gold and iron

Discount the other three because they are just storage blocks really but right here next to all of those i want to have a storage chest for beacons that’s right i want auto sorted storage for beacons which to be fair means we’d have to acquire 41 beacons just so the item

Filter would work so i don’t know how realistic that is but if we’re going to fight a lot of withers in order to acquire that number of beacons and if you are embarking on a project where let’s say for example you want to fight the wither a bunch of times so you can

Sell beacons to your server mates on a multiplayer server or something like that you’re gonna want to know some of the better ways of fighting it and i’ve demonstrated a few of those in the series before but there’s nothing like a bit of revision i think at this stage in

The game and so we are going to spend an episode fighting the wither different ways weighing up the pros and cons of each one naturally this is going to require us to get hold of a few more with the skulls and so i’ve come back out here to my with a skeleton farm

Which still seems to be performing pretty well still need to make a couple of changes to the killing mechanism if i want it to be superb but in the meantime i can get up in here and kill a bunch of these wither skeletons with looting to hopefully get myself a few more skulls

And get hold of enough that we can fight the wither a whole bunch of times in this episode maybe not 41 times but we’ll see what i can manage and while we’re doing that let’s have a quick talk about basic weather preparedness because as i’m sure we’re all aware if you

Fought the weather before the fight with the wither can go wrong very very quickly especially on bedrock edition and i should also point out that most of the tips i’m going to be giving here are for the java edition with a fight the bedrock edition wither is a little bit

More of a pain it has other attacks and can usually get out of situations that would trap the java edition wither a little bit and there are definitely methods for fighting the wither on bedrock which i will leave up to the bedrock edition players to share with

You for now though let’s focus on the java edition fight so basic weather preparedness really comes down to a couple of things most of which is just expecting the fight to go wrong and being prepared for an instance in which it does and for that you’ll want a

Couple of things first of all milk to get rid of the wither effect you will also probably want to bring food with you for basic health regeneration and try and keep your hunger bar filled up as much as possible but most of the time if you want to get rid of that wither

Effect quickly and it can last for a while if it hits you with a skull a bucket of milk is usually the best way of doing that bear in mind of course that it will take away the rest of your potion effects so it is still something

To only be used in emergencies and in most of these circumstances we’re going to try out you won’t need to worry too much about that but of course in the event that you need to regenerate some health a little bit faster potions of regeneration are always a good idea and

In fact splash potions of regeneration can also sometimes be a little bit helpful because you don’t waste the time drinking the potion you just throw it on the ground and if you are quick-witted enough if you’ve got your wits about you you can usually just throw it at your

Feet and that will give you enough regeneration that you can get out of harm’s way with that effect on you now obviously if you want to go on the offensive you’re going to want a strength potion and most weather fights are relatively short so a shorter duration strength 2 potion buffed with

Glowstone instead of redstone is probably going to give you the edge i would also recommend bringing a smite 5 sword or a sharpness 5 sword to the fight just to make sure the weather goes down as quickly as possible in that second phase of the fight where it is

Immune to projectiles you’ll also want to brew up a couple of other things namely some splash potions of healing because those can give you a little bit of instant health instant health 2 is nice and easy to acquire you don’t have to worry too much about duration in this

Case because it’s instant and you can even get these potions directly from the brewing stands that you find in end city ships when you’re looking for a light truss so a lot of the time you might have a stockpile of these that you just haven’t used if you’re like me and you

Just want to bring everything back from an end city instant health potions are not that hard to find and of course you can always just brew those using glycerin melon there are a couple of other potions that i will recommend brewing up though namely fire resistance potions and night vision potions and the

Reasons for these really is that the environment of the weather fight can be a little bit unpredictable the weather is destroying terrain all around it as it goes if you’re fighting it in normal circumstances and a lot of the time that can open up a pocket of lava you didn’t

Expect or destroy light sources that you are relying on to see the environment around you and that can turn the tide of the fight pretty quickly so i think having some fire resistance potions and night vision potions is usually a good way to go just to make sure that the

Fight goes your way and that you don’t get tripped up by any of these unfortunate circumstances and if you’re just bringing one of each of these potions remember don’t drink milk after you’ve got the effects on otherwise those effects will just go away again because milk removes all potion effects

Not just the harmful ones and for the last but not least measure that we’re going to take protecting ourselves against the wither totems of undying i don’t rely on them all that much because typically i don’t put myself in situations where i need them all that often but fighting the weather can be

Once again an unpredictable process and if you’re on the ropes having a totem of undying in your offhand is potentially going to mean the difference between you winning or losing especially in a hardcore world where you’ve got to protect yourself against the wither and basically every other threat at all

Times totems of undying are kind of essential the totem will of course give you regeneration absorption and fire protection effect so that can be pretty handy in a pinch but i still recommend not solely relying on these as a crutch in a with a fight because of course once

You’ve popped the totem you are potentially exposed to more attacks and if the weather fires a couple of projectiles at you at once a blue skull and a black skull head towards you at the same time then the total undying might not regenerate your health fast

Enough for you to survive so even then you can end up dying to the wither last of all of course i mentioned the sword already let’s talk about the bow i of course want to have power and ideally infinity on me so i don’t run out of arrows mid-fight but infinity or mending

Is really your choice and you might want to swap your a light trap out for a decent netherite chest plate or a diamond chest plate with enough protection enchantments on it sacrificing maneuverability for that overall protective effect because remember that is probably the most protective piece of armor you can have

And by using a lytra you are removing a decent chunk of protective points now if you look at my inventory you can see that we are a little bit over prepared for the average with a fight but some people watching this video or some people who are newer to minecraft some

People who may have like slightly limited reflexes or mobility motor skills that kind of stuff might have a hard time fighting the wither on their own without all of this extra layer of protection on top of it so if it’s your first time fighting the wither or if you

Are the kind of person who dreads the wither fight these are probably the basic steps you want to take to make sure that you are as protected as you can be when going into a fight as dangerous as this and in about half an hour here at the

Farm i did get myself a lot of coal but also about half a stack of wither skeleton skulls of course we want a multiple of three so that we can summon that number of withers so we’re looking at 11 with the fights so far and i think i still have some weather skeleton

Skulls back at the founders forge storage area so i’ll probably head back there before we start our first with a fight yeah it looks like we had 25 in here already taking us to a total of 58 which gives us 19 weather fights plus one skull left over that should be more

Than enough for this episode having 19 extra beacons certainly sounds like a fun idea and while i was looking around i did find an extra netherstar that i had in storage so we could have 20 more beacons by the end of this episode i don’t know if i have the resource blocks

To contain all of those but we’re going to need to display a few at the museum anyway so having a bunch of beacons available seems like the right thing to do and of course we got plenty of soul sand from all of that time we spent mining for netherrack i reckon having a

Decent amount of that on board should be fine but for the first fight we don’t even have to use materials to summon the wither at all instead we have to come back to this frankly pretty impressive piece of terrain generation because around here somewhere in a cave yep

Is where i decided to summon the wither for the episode where i died a whole bunch in fact i think it might even be down here somewhere and if i listen carefully i might be able to hear it so we’re going to track down the weather

That i unleashed on this biome i’ve got a handful of the potions i expected to need whilst we were traversing this area and hopefully we should be able to find that wither and finally get rid of it from the world once and for all yep there’s my ender chest from when i

Placed the weather down and oh yes i can definitely hear the wither now it was uh the last count stuck somewhere at the bottom of this hole so i’m gonna have to play it a little bit safe and hopefully we’ll be able to head on down here and

Fight it and it feels a little bit sketchy coming down here into a with a fight look there’s all my uh burner gear that i had with me and uh it sounds like it is behind me somewhere in this direction so i gotta play it a little bit safe yep there it

Is all right well let’s see if we can get a couple of quick hits in and okay the wither is immediately on me all right well this is the way these fights often go if you’re just fighting it the standard way as i think of it which is

Just kind of one-on-one in a cave and hopefully we should be able to drink the strength potion and use that regen if we need to and the weather will also be distracted by other mobs around it in the cave so if there are any other hostile mobs around here it’s actually

Not a bad thing if they’re around like you probably don’t want to light up the cave too much ahead of time well there we go took our first hit from the wither and looks like we should be able to back off a little way into the cave system here and

Beat out that with a effect instead of worrying too much about drinking the milk because right now i kind of want to keep a little bit of that night vision on deck if we need it now at this point i’m going to drink the strength potion because despite the weather’s health bar

Climbing a little bit it’s going to be in sword only mode pretty soon once i score another couple of hits with the bow it will drift down it will no longer be able to fly and that’s when we really need to press the advantage so let’s try

And sneak a couple of shots in here and okay it looks like that right there is probably going to be in sword mode now yep okay so now we can just get a couple of quick hits in on the wither and hopefully with the protection provided

By this chest plate there we go managed to finish it off with fairly minimal damage and there we go we got our first nether star of this episode at least one that we actually got from a wither we fought today and man that never right chest plate really made all of the

Difference there the weather was right up close in my face but i was able to beat out the wither effect and right now with the wither effect but with natural health regeneration i’m really not seeing that much of a dip in my health so that is all thanks to the fact that

I’ve got golden carrots which are a pretty decent source of saturation and i’ve got myself some very protective armor yeah i can even collect my original ender chest from that episode that’s great it feels like we are tidying up the remains of what i left here originally and so method number one

Just kind of fighting the weather in a cave feels like the standard way to me and it has its pros and cons obviously the fight can go a little bit chaotically but it does feel like a fairly safe way to fight the wither we’re going to stick around in the same

Area for what i like to call the tunnel method this is basically the first way i ever fought the wither in the survival guide so folks who’ve watched my first ever with a fight episode will have seen this already it simply involves digging out a decent sized tunnel this one is

Longer than it just looked when i optifine zoomed in on the end there and we create a three by three by three area at the end here where we’re going to summon the wither i’ve just grabbed the ingredients to build the weather out of my ender chest we’re going to take that

Away and of course the weather does not like to have any blocks either side of the soul sand tee there and there when you spawn it so you’ve got to make sure that those blocks remain free but outside of that it’s just going to be a case of running back down this tunnel

Once the weather explodes we’re going to start shooting it with a bow we’re probably going to leave the fire resistance and night vision on just in case because we are around y24 right here so we shouldn’t encounter any 11 level lava lakes but you never know

What the weather can uncover and if it starts to go off towards any other mobs in this area because the weather will target the other mobs it’s potentially going to start drifting in a different direction but if it stays focused on us then we should just be able to lure it

Down this tunnel backing off the entire way firing arrows at it and then hitting it with a sword once it gets into the final stages so for now we’re going to drink that fire resistance and drink that night vision our precautionary potions are going to come in handy there

We’ll put all of the glass bottles together place the final with a skull and we are good to go let’s back off a little way before the weather explodes it’s the first time you’ve actually summoned the wither in this episode of course and here we go get ready to shoot

The arrows as soon as it explodes which is pretty much right away and from here the tail should stay in sight which means the withers hitbox is available to you and all you’ll need to do is land a couple of solid bow hits once it’s in sword mode we can

Walk forward a little bit give a couple of quick swipes once again i’m using a sharpness sword here not a smite one so we could be doing more damage and even more of course with the strength potion as well but this is a pretty safe way to fight the wither you’ll notice we

Haven’t been hit so far and just like that the fight is over that is really not bad and the rest of the tunnel length is completely unnecessary but sometimes the fight just goes off a little ways so it helps to have a little bit of protection two were the stars

Down in this episode and i’m feeling better and better about my prospects all the time in fact i feel good enough about that fight that while we’ve still got the night vision and fire resistance effects we’re going to try that again and this time once the withers health

Gets down low enough i’m going to attempt to kill it with a splash potion of healing or two even because we do have a couple of those on us i haven’t needed to use them yet for this version of the fight especially and the wither can actually be harmed by splash potions

Of healing in the same way that splash potions of harming deal damage to normal mobs it’s actually possible to damage undead mobs using the healing effect so let’s try and take out the wither one more time still wearing full near the right armor still using the same strategies that we’ve employed so far

And hopefully we can get it down within an acceptable range of health that a couple of well-placed splash potions are going to finish it off gotta dodge those blue skulls of course they are possibly the most lethal attack the wither has one more hit and then splash potion yes

That was absolutely textbook and that honestly felt like the ultimate insult to the wither to finish it off with a potion that way bear in mind though that splash potions of harming if you ended up using those would actually heal the wither as an undead mob so that’s something to bear in mind

Three nether stars down all right i feel good about this and while you might think it’d be a cool idea to just have a bunch of dispensers splash the weather with splash potions i’m here in a creative test world to show you why that isn’t a good idea i don’t believe in

This method strongly enough to attempt it in the survival guide world and a little bit of testing here has kind of proven my point so i’ll show this to you now of course we’re going to build the weather the normal way it’s not going to try and attack me right away because i’m

In creative mode but even if it did you would find that this method often goes awry very very quickly for a start the explosion here has the potential to deal a little bit of damage to some of the dispensers and then once i activate the circuit that activates the dispensers

Even using lingering potions surrounding the weather in this cloud the weather isn’t going to take a great deal of damage from that and the reason for that ultimately comes down to the fact that the wither is going to be invincible whenever it’s taking damage temporarily it enters this damaged state where it

Cannot then take more damage and so stacking all of these potions up like that is not really going to work and ultimately what happens then is the wither gets control of its movement starts to leave the area flies away destroys some more blocks and gets out of the range of these dispensers so

In order to create a system like this that would reliably kill the wither you would have to be ultimately very very sure of the withers movements and guide it down some sort of corridor lined with dispensers without it using these projectiles to blow up the stuff to either side and that’s just

Not entirely likely to happen for the next fight i still have the effect but i don’t know if i’ll need them this time around because we’re going to be doing the fight on the surface that’s right you can of course fight the wither on the surface i do not

Recommend it though because the fight can get very chaotic very quickly and as we’ve seen in the cave example so far the wither tries to hover above the player which can make it very difficult to get away from it and fight back so there are a couple of things you

Probably want to do when you’re on the surface for a start of course make sure you’re nowhere near anything that you’ve built at or any existing build project other people’s bases or anywhere you want to build because this place is likely to become a bit of a blast zone

Pretty quickly the other thing i would recommend doing is making sure there are enough passive mobs around that it becomes a target rich environment for the wither in the event that you need to escape because the weather will not always track players it will go after

Other mobs as well as we know and passive mobs are an easy target for it that will also net you a few casually acquired with the roses which can be a nice thing to have if you don’t have a witherose farm set up yet so i think

What we’re going to do is come to about here i think that’s where we’ll build the weather nice flat area a little bit of elevated terrain so we can have the high ground and i’m going to keep myself maneuverable for this fight i’m going to

Leave my elytra on and i’m going to put plenty of fireworks in my hotbar and we’re going to try and outmaneuver the wither as best we can still got the instant health and regen just in case we need it still got the milk on hand in

Case we need that but for now it’s time to get the wither all set up here and i just placed the last skull and of course there was a blade of grass underneath there that was preventing the weather from actually spawning in so that was a

Little bit weird but there we go all right the weather is primed and ready and in a second or two we should get that first explosion which means it is a game on yep there we go and as you can see the weather is already going after some of

The surface animals the passive mobs are the targets and right now yep there we go we’ve attracted the withers attention so this is the point at which i’m going to start flying and there is a couple of variants to this style of fighting the wither for a start

You might want to try bringing a trident to this fight because the trident could potentially be a good way of fighting the wither in the air as you can see though the weather tends to try and hover above the player and as such when you fly above it unless there’s another

Player or another target that it’s got in its sights it will tend to fly up pretty high and once it gets up there if you get a decent distance away it will kind of become passive and just start drifting downwards slowly firing those skulls in miscellaneous directions

Until it finds another target to attack in this case a few of the passive mobs that are nearby knight is also falling and we should get a few hostile mobs popping up around here which the weather will freely attack as well and this free-roaming approach it’s taking to the

Battlefield is kind of why i don’t like fighting the wither on the surface too much that and this this effect that’s happening right now where the weather is just like constantly above me is very very irritating to fight and i kind of don’t recommend it although as far as dramatic

Screenshots go that’s a pretty cool one if you ask me now if the fight lasts into night time as obviously this one has done the problem then becomes how do both you and the wither deal with the hostile mobs in the area and the weather will obviously just fireball them from

Above so it’s really not going to be at risk from having anything else to fight whereas you are probably going to have to deal with both the wither and the other hostile mobs that are on the ground and believe me firing out the wither from mid-air is not all that easy

Especially when you’re having to turn around suddenly and aim yourself directly at it as it fires a skull at you so this is going to make the fight a little bit chaotic and as you can see it’s not gone nearly as quickly as some of the underground fights have in this

Case i think the best strategy i’ve found so far has been to lure the weather up into the air and then shoot it while it is on its way down again before it starts to target any other mobs because at that point its movements become a little bit more predictable

Another aspect of the weather people don’t talk about all that much but that definitely seems to exist is the fact the weather kind of has a lifesteal effect for anything it attacks it will regenerate its health slowly naturally but in this case it is actually regaining a little bit of health every

Time it attacks another mob so that target rich environment we talked about earlier distracting the wither may actually not prove advantageous to us in the overall scheme of the fight let’s try that tactic again though let’s try and get a couple of shots on it as it’s

Floating down here it’s firing the blue skulls which means it doesn’t really have a target right now it’s just looking around for obstructions and stuff to break hopefully once we get a couple more hits in if we can at this range yes now it becomes immune to

Projectiles and now hopefully if we can stay on top of things here we can finish it off with a few final hits of the sword but once again i am going to have to stay a little bit maneuverable here and get rid of that wither effect before

It deals more permanent damage to me whoa it just killed a creeper right in front of me that was pretty wild okay let’s see if we can strafe around the wither deal a few more hits keep it at range avoid that withering effect and there we go we took down the wither and

Now we have to take down all of these zombies that are kind of crowding me in this area hopefully we don’t end up with a creeper coming along and exploding destroying that nether star that is rightfully mine nope i picked it up we have four nether stars and

Would you look at the devastation the weather has caused to this area you definitely don’t want this happening anywhere that you care about like a village or something that you wanted to protect that is absolute destruction on the surface area at least of this landscape and a little bit up here into

The mountains as well still once again we get the benefit of going around and collecting up some wither roses some of which if the block is valid will actually be planted on the grass which is a pretty fun little effect but yes once we’ve got a couple of weather roses

From the area i think it’s probably time to go and attempt the fight in a slightly easier set of surroundings and that is of course here in the end now of course you’ll have to excuse the chicken noises but in the previous episode we did set up a temporary like minimalist

With a rose farm using some chickens here to breed a bunch of eggs to give us a bunch of eggs that we could then use to uh to kill a bunch of mobs in this area thanks to summoning the wither and the explosion causing them to drop with

The roses in this case though we are just going to summon the wither the normal way and then find a way to exit which will probably be out the side here and this is a setup that a lot of people have seen before and a lot of people use

Frequently to kill the wither in larger quantities if you want to kill like a bunch of withers one at a time you can use this method and sometimes people even spawn iron golems or other mobs to help them along what it involves is setting up this t shape obsidian right

Underneath the center of the end portal it’s kind of difficult to tell from this angle but that block there the block that basically forms the tail of the wither is directly under the central point of the end portal you can see there my coordinates are zero zero which

Is the block the end portal uh pillar is in the very center and by setting this up two blocks underneath that you can place some soul sand against the t-shape like so and you can actually spawn the withering in this direction like that and then it gets stuck underneath there

And is unable to leave thanks to the fact that its initial explosion cannot destroy obsidian blocks and there we go once it explodes it should just be trapped underneath here and is already taking suffocation damage so all i should need to do is attack it

A few times with my sword and it’s no longer able to drift down into this spot because the obsidian is actually blocking it from doing so and the only attacks the wither can use to break blocks like obsidian are being blocked by bedrock which even to the wither is

Unbreakable and the fight is over just like that very very efficient very easy and hopefully no ill effects on the surrounding environment if you’ve done it right that right there was netherstar number five not too shabby and you know what i think i might also go away and

Get the ingredients to build an iron golem so i can demonstrate the fact that iron golems are also able to take care of the wither with relative ease yep it seems like one of the iron golems is happy to take on the wither the other one is just kind of standing around

Right now but it’s uh certainly doing a lot of damage there as you can see probably about as much damage as i was doing with my sharpness five sword and then uh it seems to have just kind of lost interest at this stage so i’m gonna step

In here and deliver the final blow there we go and as you can see they have not taken a scrap of damage from what i can tell they probably took a little bit of initial damage but it does not seem to have affected them they’ve not started

To crack up or anything so maybe a couple of iron ingots would sort these guys right out and make sure they had full health for the next fight that is netherstar number six and as you can see iron golems pretty devastating when they can keep their focus

And while we’re here in the end we may as well get our own answer to the age-old question of whether or not the wither would fight the ender dragon and to be honest throughout this entire recording i didn’t really have a great deal of faith that the wither and the

Ender dragon would fight and the reason this is so late in the video is that i didn’t expect this to be the highlight of the entire experience but somehow it ended up being that way i had the replay mod running throughout the entire thing and i’m recording this as a post

Commentary now because when the wither was summoned in and started to fight the enderman around me i kind of thought yeah it’s just going to do the same thing it usually does and avoid the dragon in favor of the smaller mobs it can reach from the ground but later on

As i aggroed the wither and it started to fly up towards some slightly higher targets i noticed it actually start to target the dragon itself at one point on its random flight path the dragon and the wither actually collided dealing damage to the wither and the wither at the same time dealing

Damage to the dragon and from that point on you actually saw the wither trying to attack the dragon from the air and as though it was physically going after the dragon at some point shooting skulls at it the entire time and the dragon moves faster than the wither does so a lot of

The time it would get out of range and the wither would target something else but often when the dragon flew within range again the wither would start attacking it and going after it sometimes even following the dragon through its more complex aerial maneuvers in order to try and land a

Couple of hits it was fascinating to watch and i started slowing down some of the replay mod footage that i could get afterwards just to see the dragon and the wither actually fighting something that i never thought was going to be possible look at the dragon coming through this

Pillar and hitting the weather as it exits once again this is not the way the fight is programmed the dragon is programmed to only really care about what players do in the arena taking down crystals will make the dragon more aggressive and come in towards the center it’s not going after the wither

In any way but the wither is pretty intent on attacking the dragon which just kind of goes to show how ridiculously hostile the wither is to every form of life except for the undead as you can see from some of the other footage where it doesn’t really attack

Skeletons and zombies but it will attack the passive mobs in the overworld but take a look at this though the wither is actually circling around trying to fight the dragon and the dragon is definitely avoiding all of those skulls if any of them lands on target then the dragon is

Going to take some damage but i think the dragon is just too maneuverable for the wither to actually fight eventually however they ended up reaching a bit of a stalemate even with the dragon’s crystals gone in it no longer able to regenerate health the dragon simply was too fast and would

Outmaneuver the wither at every turn leading to the wither only scoring a couple of hits ever and usually only when the dragon’s path intersected with its own the dragon also wasn’t going to attack the wither frequently enough for the withers regeneration to do anything and it had too many endermen to fire

Projectiles at and regenerate its own health meaning i was left to take down both of them and i decided to go after the dragon first the dragon’s health just being an easier thing to whittle down over time and the weather just being a little bit too irritating when

It came to fighting it on the surface like this okay that’s the dragon taken care of yeah unfortunately the weather is just not doing enough damage when it wants to attack the dragon to really have any effect on the fight and it is pretty cool watching it run around

And take out all of the endermen and wow the the end kind of lit up when that happened in a really weird way i’m kind of surprised by that but uh yeah let’s finish it taking out this wither which should be really no different than fighting it on the surface with the

Additional distraction of all of these endermen everywhere okay this last blow should do it yes we killed the wither in midair above the ender dragons arena that that took a while that whole fight was about 20 minutes long and netherstar number six is ours very very nice

That was that was pretty wild that was one of the most fun things i’ve done in minecraft for a little while and i hope you guys enjoyed the replay mod footage as well and yes the eagle-eyed viewers among you will notice that i did die at one point during that fight although

Thankfully not to the weather because the wither has a reputation for destroying your stuff with a subsequent with a skull explosion no it was actually an enderman that killed me as i landed i think i’d just been looking around the arena too much and made eye contact with a couple of enderman and

For whatever reason i just wasn’t on my game i was too worried about the wither and the dragon flying around and the enderman absolutely slaughtered me but luckily i was able to get some stuff back together had plenty of backup gear back at founders forge and was able to

Recover all of my equipment no harm done a few levels lost a little bit of dignity unfortunately lost as well but still managed to get myself back in the fight and ultimately dispatch the wither and we’re going to keep the replay mode running and post commentary pixel riffs

Running as well for this last section of the video because i recorded this entire section under one specific assumption and that was that the wither could fight the wither now i set up three withers to be summoned at the end of this safety tunnel here once again making sure that

I’d made a few preparations and i also installed my netherright beacon with resistance 2 above the surface because i expected that this version of the fight could go very very badly wrong what i was counting on was a section in the minecraft wiki which says that the

Wither will not fight the wither unless one of the other withers fires a skull at it and then they’ll become aggressive towards each other and there was me thinking it’s pretty easy to get this to work in an enclosed space so once again i decided to put myself down the end of

A tunnel and hopefully some of the withers would attempt to fire past each other to get to me and then they would aggro each other so i took myself a night vision potion i took myself another fire resistance potion because i wasn’t certain if there was lava in the

Area and i went ahead and summoned three withers in a row and eventually what i found was that they pretty much formed an orderly queue to attack me they actually ended up attacking me only one at a time with the other two somehow unable to pathfind

Towards me and that made it very easy to take the withers out one by one and i was hoping that while one wither was engaged with me the other two would be trying to fire at me as well and then hit their compatriot which would mean i

Would end up with a wither fighting another wither but in the end even when one of the withers fired a skull at the other one it didn’t really seem to take any effect and whether that was because the wither was focused on me or maybe that’s because for whatever reason the

Minecraft wiki is wrong about this particular feature but even though withers don’t normally attack each other because they are undead mobs i was really hoping we could get that effect to work having said that for a fight with three withers summoned at once it went exceptionally well for me and i was

Able to take down all three of them one after the other simply because the third one didn’t really seem all that interested in me until i started attacking it and there were no mobs around to throw a spanner in the works and have that weather go off in a completely separate direction

And that’s how it’s done folks all in about three minutes there we go my night vision potion hasn’t even got down to five minutes left on it we have got ourselves three nether stars and the same little safety tunnel they just queued up and we knocked them down

Fantastic stuff well look at this the weather is practically mining for us at this point and i think i’m probably going to end up killing the rest of these withers using the tried and tested method underneath the bedrock portal in the end because man i am i’m sort of

Done fighting the wither in normal circumstances at this point but folks i really hope you’ve enjoyed this episode because we’ve done a lot of weather fighting we’ve taken a look at several different ways of doing it and most of them seem to be okay all i will say is

Maybe don’t fight the wither on the surface seems like the most sensible thing to do thank you so much for watching this episode of the minecraft survival guide my name has been pixariffs don’t forget to leave a like on this episode if you enjoyed it subscribe if you want to see more and
