Mage Rage Mar ’22 – week 1 – “Watch Out For Them Killer Zombies!”

Be careful merkin people will think you’re up to something Hello uh at last we’re here it’s major age in march first week of march and i’ve i’ve been taking forever to get around to putting a commentary to this i played it earlier in the week here we are choosing spells revealing mining blink levitation and annihilation all the better we think to

Fight those zombies yes the special feature is zombies that can kill you in one hit um what are we collecting crying obsidian hmm should get that for my rune portal hey bail brain coral block find out the way enderman a birch sapling good old birch 16 red wool a lily of the valley

Always hard to find a book just a book a jack-o’-lantern and finally a bucket of cod okay should it cause us problems it doesn’t look it was a medium sort of one there’s no necessary huge biome hunting and no trip to the nether unless we can well unless we can’t find a uh

A room portal yeah okay so i’m getting on with the the normal starting things i’m going to be very wary of zombies i think i think that’s the main thing it’s it’s not something that changes the game enormously the fact that zombies could kill you in one hit because i mean what

Are you doing letting do zombies hit you in the first place it’s um it’s something i try to avoid but they always get a tap in don’t they you know if you if you go in and try and melee them um usually you hit them and they hit you at

The same moment so it’s not something you really want to do oh look i found a little bit of iron a bit of luck as i’m getting my stone there’s there’s iron there not much of it i can see just one so it’s no use for anything here so far

As we get underway and get the the basic tools and things which i’ve still decided to make i’ve decided to make always even though half the time i end up not using any of them there’s always one of the basic tools that i end up not having bothered to using at all

Look look ocean out there oh i’m i’m too distracted by a big cave don’t really need to go caving very much this time now the spells i’ve chosen i’m at the start i’m thinking um I’m thinking synergies between certain spells there’s you know revealing and mining go together to do that or locator and revealing and blink go together to give you night vision um but as it’s turned out from that collection i’m not going to be doing much mining now i could

When it comes to night time if i remember i could get around to um giving myself night vision but let’s see usually what happens is things things get into your mind look i’ve got my birch sapling already already right at the start so the one that could trip you up as has not

Worried me in the slightest now there’s a dragon oh he’s just taking off as i look at him so i’m not going to be getting a ride now what i’ve done with this video is i’ve sped the whole thing up very slightly in order to fit it all into one episode

And anytime i’m doing traveling around i’ve sped it up a lot so you don’t have to wait for me to arrive in a new place right now i know from playing various little challenges and things that we’ve been set rick for example um the portal the nether speed run the one get

Get to the nether as fast as you can that these little stone beaches are pretty useful places for finding things like coal especially but also i am in 118. notice i’m i’m actually playing in no just you can’t see this but i’m actually playing in 118.1

Even though 118.2 has just come out i think by the time i’m playing this um but i think all of the well i wasn’t sure whether the data pack would work with 118.2 anyway it probably does it probably kicks up a warning but um nothing serious um but things like um

What’s the name of it sodium that i use uh on fabric um instead of optifine nowadays um i didn’t think that was gonna be out for 118.2 yet i think it is now as i’m recording this as i’m recording the commentary right okay getting on with things

Hilarious fail of trying to see if i could mine and get all of my crafting tools uh it not only completely failed but it ended up with me picking up the egg that i don’t want as well i went to um retrieve them all okay i’m after i’ve got my bucket of

Water and i’m after a cod a sea fish aren’t they so i’m in the ocean and dolphins helping me along is it are you a cod hello sir gloop yes i’ve got the bucket of cod right um that was a bit of a fail of trying to blink up onto the

Onto the surface onto the land but there we go i’m i’m i suppose six seven minutes in um into my run and i’ve got a couple of items collected so that’s not too bad going and no no it’s it’s more than that it’s getting near nightfall so it must be

Nearly 10 minutes in right looking around now what am i looking for in particular lily of the valleys in amongst the trees i think so because i what do i need let me check my list i need pumpkins um i’ve completely forgotten about needing a book

And oh there’s a witch on her right after me now this is this is my first taste of danger i’ve come down here and landed in a field and if there’s any zombies around i’m i’m easy meat for them the other thing i should be looking out for

Is the coral sea but i don’t think i’ve i’ve got that on my mind yet aha a ruined portal is something i absolutely want so come on let’s get in here and there’s some crying obsidian so i can mine that blink running the risk of dropping it straight

Into some lava but it looks like this one is a a dry ruined portal no pools of lava around the bottom of it or anything like that i look at the gold don’t particularly want gold golden apple though um yeah i would have i would have taken the gold if i’d

Intended flying a lot like with healing but of course you need a shrine i would need a shrine because i haven’t chosen healing this week um yes so there’s gold the only other real purpose of the gold would be for uh going to the nether and i’m not going

To the nether especially now i’ve found the crying obsidian already right looking out there in the ocean to see are are any of you or ever any of you of you waters out there uh the like um likely to have a coral in them i can see some lighter patches in

The distance so i’m i’m swimming there again wishing i had a shrine big cass then i could i could have the water spell and really speed my progress through here but now i’m just gonna have to hover my way across there on um look this this one actually looks like a

Tiniest coral sea but it’s not as i get over it i realize it’s not a coral sea at all it’s um a ruin an underwater brewing so that’s no use to me so i’m i’m off this way instead okay speed it up traveling bits oops hello is

Someone trying to um impale me or was that me just starting to drown a bit i think i think someone did hear me didn’t they anyway better off out of the water look over on your left pumpkins now can i risk it can i risk it going in amongst

All of the killer zombies ouch killer skeletons it turns out hello creepers and um yeah there’s a zombie a bit close to these pumpkins for my liking so i’m trying a bit of a circling round route um but i’ve got it and i’m up in the air

And i want to catch my breath so up into a tree top nice big tree top and let’s heal up throw out the rubbish and i should be able to make my pumpkin into a jack-o’-lantern now as soon as i’ve got a torch should be able to put pumpkin down and shear it

And then put the torch inside and that will be me with a jack-o-lantern which is another one of the items there we go fourth item collected now i’m probably okay i was gonna say i’m probably taking stock and reading my list at this moment but it looks like what i’m doing is

Uh throwing out rubbish and healing up a little bit um or just making sure my food bar is full now what am i looking for next is it the um the lily of the valley lily of the valley and the um you’ve forgotten about hay bale wow

There’s a village over there now if i go to that village will i get a hay bale also is that a bunch of sheep a flock there’s quite a few sheep here so having got the red dye in the early stages yes i’d forgotten i packed it away all that time ago

I could start shearing a few sheep until i’ve got 16 wool i think i was probably under the misapprehension right at the start that you colored wool by just surrounding a red dye with with white wool but of course you don’t you’ve never done that that spider seems to be very

Upset with me so i’m using a bit of melee annihilation on him which worked after a time he’s not it doesn’t do the maximum of damage does it anyway so i’m being i’m playing games with an enderman whoa hang on what’s that it’s a shrine is it up there is it down here

Oh shrine now what was it i was saying i could have done with i could have done with water um maybe healing um so there were certainly things so i’m i’m now going furiously mad digging through the rock trying to see whether the sound gets nearer

Gets louder as i get nearer to it is it is it down here is it getting louder or quieter it’s not doing anything while you’re standing still keep going keep digging do something come on then waiting for the mining spell of course yeah i could

Do you think it would show up now it wouldn’t show up yeah i’m trying to do revealing to see whether yeah oh yeah revealing i totally forgot i could place lanterns with my revealing but then again i haven’t needed to um do any mining up until this this

Moment so the the first mining i’ve done really apart from that well no i got i got all my iron right on the surface i think so that was a i was trying to be smart there and jumping down a hole and avoiding the tiniest bit of damage by blinking just

Before i landed there goes someone who happily walks into all kinds of hurt and takes full damage and the rest of the time and now this time um okay let’s look up on top was it actually up look look there’s particles but no shrine what’s going on i’m baffled for a moment um

Yes it really was an invisible shrine but it works that’s normal i’ve now got the ability to change spells and now i can’t remember what i actually wanted to change the sky is getting darker and darker that looks like we’re probably having an actual thunderstorm but i’m in

An area where you don’t get any rain so that’s a um that’s a no-no round here then okay come on then be a mage well that didn’t work at all did it it mined a bit of their farm okay so we’ve got hay bales there is the thunder i’m hearing it

Coming along now we’re going to get mobs aplenty around here which is kind of interfering with me trying to finish off my um my my um shearing of the sheep look at the number of zombies that there are around here ouch i’m being shot by a skelly those are the one-hit zombies

Watch out for them okay i only need the one more do i need the one more no ah right i i think i need a couple more wool or yes i still still need two more wool i’ve decided to take advantage of my golden apple just to get myself completely healed up

After i was taking far too much damage but as it is it’s now bright sunshine all of the zombies and most of the skellies have burned up there’s one hiding sheltering under my tree i think and um okay off we go you’ve got one probably one more sheep to share it feels like

I’ve slowed down a little bit at this moment oh hang on a minute serendipity i’ve gone into uh the only village house that i’ve been into and it turns out to be a library so i’ve torn down one of his bookshelves hope you don’t mind sir ah he said

And um there we go there’s the book that i needed so i’m now getting quite near the end of the collection i’ve just shared that sheep that gave me two wool that’s all the sixteen so i’ve now got seven out of nine items i need the lily of the valley

And the brain coral oh don’t you hate it when blink sends you flying right into the landscape and you become part of it what are you doing do you yeah you still got no i still needed one wool i actually hadn’t finished the wool so i

I went and got one more red dye and in the time it took the last sheep at grass grew it’s red wool and that was the end of that anyway and it just made a fool of me for bothering to go and get the um get the extra red dye so

In the end it’s been a very profitable place to be just around that village which i went to because i found the pumpkins i saw the pumpkins there and i went went then on ins in search of the village and found a shrine and sheep so it’s been quite a profitable place to

Have landed really now i’m running wildly through the trees because i’m thinking that somewhere in in the these trees there will be some lily of the valleys and there probably are but i’m not seeing them i’m running in and out and there probably will see

Five or six of them out of the corner of my eye um that i never spotted but no looks like i’ve i’ve finished running through the trees the the trees have run out okay so what about what about coral is this the ocean just here starting there’s a little rock pool

It’s interesting it’s got lighter water in it does this mean it’s warm ocean i’ve not got biomes visible which is the way that my trade is normally played of course is that that same portal that i went to earlier and got my crying obsidium i honestly can’t remember

So anyway let’s look out to see maybe it’s the other direction because i went along the coast from right to left earlier but now let’s look out this way and the thought has suddenly hit me i i was in a shrine a few minutes ago so

I can now change spells i can have that water spell so let’s change out um the annihilation into water and i can go swimming at speed look at that and listen to all the bubbly noises and they’re not me running out of breath okay now this is much sped up because it

Really would have got boring with me um yeah that’s that’s the little patch of ruin of underwater brewing that i think i was looking at earlier i think i’m retracing my steps in doing all of this but i’m wondering if over there in the distance in the area that i haven’t explored yet

Is that perhaps where the coral sea is huh sorry zombie a zombie silhouette and there’s another one a bit more than a silhouette but i’m too fast for you guys i can i can out swim any of you and i really need to use a combination of levitation and water traveling

Because i can get the view the long distance view from up above and then while i’m swimming fast i can make make ground there we go that’s better you does anything look like look like coral sea up there to be honest i’m not sure the watercolor changes oops

I’ve made a water ball of myself in midair impressive although not very useful that was an accident okay if i needed to say right i’ve had enough of that now i’m i’ve decided to to start looking for a lily of the valley instead which is a bit risky because there’s

Zombies and skeletons out here in the night whoops one hit zombies run away lots of one hit and one hit creepers as well creepers are always one hit hello three creepers and skelly you certainly get the mobs spawning don’t you in 118. there’s no shoulders of of hostiles when

You’re out there right what about this little tiny patch of trees up here no i do not think i’m gonna see no look honestly there’s no lily of the valleys here it’s probably not even a forest is it just a patch of trees okay what about further away

Let’s keep going yeah over there where they there’s some birch on a hill by the edge of this mesa what about up here i’m looking for the glints of white through the trees that would mean oh dear that’s a glint of green blue through the trees of zombie-ness run run through the trees

If you hear any any zombie sounds just take off or something right i’m still not seeing any lily of the valley it’s turning into quite a search isn’t it considering it’s just a ordinary plant that you might find anywhere i’m just not seeing it there’s bad boys out there

Pumpkins look at all the pumpkins i don’t know how where i am in relation to spawn to be honest ah look look look i’ve seen them there we go and take off and let’s sit up here for a moment and think about where i am oh look i’m 800 blocks away

From spawn i really have traveled so maybe i want to get back to spawn and maybe the um oh look you sir Hello oh he was truly lethal wasn’t he um at least i can say i’ve met one of the killer zombies now now having been back at spawn is the ocean that leads to the coral sea likely to be off in this direction no that that’s a big load of lakes isn’t it

Um or out here now isn’t this where i went already maybe it isn’t i don’t know but let’s go water speed water speed you really you travel fast but you can’t see where you’re going underwater and then when you levitate you can see where you’re going but it really doesn’t

Take you across the water very fast okay so what’s out here ah look look over on your left hand side i can see i’m see coral now once you get there all you’ve got to do is remember what a brain coral looks like and you’ll have this one finished so here we go

Uh this pink one here maybe it was indeed and a quite quick run oh look and i just got a loft in time to see the creeper facing me there thank you very much for watching i’ll be back again next week bye You
