I am Sasha Ferrell and welcome to the minecraft forum community spotlight today I’m going to take a slightly different approach to the usual texture packs and what not to cover an adventure map that I found particularly interesting it is the island of dr Goro I pet a girl so Blanco this appears to Be based off of the novel by hg wells and as i am a fan of that particular novel i thought this would be a particular treat to cover so i am going to loop this ship of all the goodies because whoever it was here before obviously doesn’t need them oh yeah Nothing like a good fedora huh but on my shoes one of my pants after my shoes because who cares about logic alright got some fish and do anything with them but I’ve got um let’s go check this place out well I see a house over here And I think it can be looted what’s the point of visiting someone’s house if not to take all their stuff hmm alright well how much to it I suppose who cooked fish well forget the raw fish yeah well wait a minute cool I could cook the rest of These fish but what would be the point I’m just gonna take it all that stuff okay while the fish is cooking I am going to go down the road here and check out the Tower of Doom Oh lighthouse i’m still gonna call it a tower of doom I Think it’s better lighthouse of do maybe light house of doom or fishing hole of doom well I am cooking fish so let’s go check out the fishin hole of doom yeah good stuff there are sheep in the fishing hole of doom this sign is one of A number that will instruct you to check out the notes that come with the map there are a number of i suppose i say expositions are many stories that help to explain why you’re here and what you’re doing and since i can’t i’ll tap out to read that at the time being I Will just say that it says something about fish and maps and sheep with Derby is it sufficient hole but i have no fishing pole to a fish though alright so oh oh that’s convenient alright so let’s see looks like this map is leading me back to the lighthouse Maybe I’ll start really leading me anywhere but that’s not the point let’s the mic on back and get those even making a bed out of them let’s go get the fish yeah well you know long getting the fish getting some fish here we go can never have too much cooked fish well It’s a lot of squids that’s why my ship wrecked I got the rudders all clogged up with all the squid out there yeah I’m gonna call it the SS squid crash ooh the SS citric squid yeah there we go so I was sailing along on the USSS ssssss Citrix squid and I crashed into fish island you know it seems like every lighthouse I run into in any game has some crazy old guy was either blind or eccentric or both and that he was some sort of bizarre kind of advice to offer I’m not seeing that and I’m a little bit Lost about what the key could be hmm I’ll take a minute to look at the note and if I don’t what the key is well I had to take a quick break to read the note and I’ve got to know right here so I’ll just read it to you the smell of Rotten fish and salty air fills your nostrils as you ascend this staircase you’ve stumbled upon a horribly grisly scene the lighthouse keeper sits against the wall with his cold dead eyes wide open seemingly staring straight through you there’s a large incision that spans from his lower abdomen to his sternum His entrails spill across the floor the manner of some mccobb modern art installation after poking around you notice that his key is missing perhaps the old fisherman could help you find another key he saw him headed toward the fishing hole behind his Shack as you left He may still be there I’m not gonna lie i actually had a bit of an editing thing going on and so I actually visited the fishing shack and later the blacksmith to find the key right here to light up the lighthouse so I’ll spare you the trouble of going back through that Spices to say it was a very long trip around the shoreline where I assaulted sheep and talked about alcoholism at length anyway so I have put in the lighthouse key and I have fixed the lighthouse oh hey and there’s a note about the lighthouse too i just missed That it was hurt the key into the lighthouse and it begins to shudder with light a grand beam of light illuminates the harbor suddenly the old fisherman appears out of the shadows begins to speak you’ve done well to come this far you showed fortitude and courage even Against great odds I feel it as tied to reveal to you that I’m more than just a simple fisherman my name is Joshua Veruca I was once a budding young behavioral zoologist eager for adventure and exploration filled with wanderlust I traveled to this island with a group of Scientists in search of knowledge but things I would learn the things that would see they’re not to change a man by the time since I have abandoned the main group I imagine their fixation with playing God and their capability to do so has only grown stronger dr. Goro is Planning something darkening in the lighthouse was an attempt at hiding their twisted experiments from the outside world however it did not predict that his actions would bring the catalyst of your be the catalyst of your arrival if you want to escape this island I would just say I’d fix my own Ship but anyway if you want to escape this island he was fine dr. Kerr oh you must stop him there were four of us who abandoned the Chimera project the blacksmith is one the lighthouse keeper was one as well now you must travel to the far north and find dr. Bryce Matthews dr. Bryce Matthews last ok by the last person right they will show you the way to the main research station be warm that not everyone you might meet us an ally the forests are filled with interesting creatures you should find Matthews near the bridge to the Northern Territory Don your finest accoutrements For he may not be easy to locate the bridge said the northern wait dad that I thought I it’s also a very long journey so feel free to spend the night in my shag well that’s nice of him I was planning on doing that anyway aha My shack now so while i was wandering around i happen to notice uh an abundance of sheep which i assaulted vicariously i figured that you know they were going to bite me or something since i realized at the last minute that i was playing in peaceful mode uh well you Know hey cheaper pretty much my greatest enemy right now so it’s like that how you will I am sure that she bite I’m absolutely sure I’ve seen she bites somewhere and I just made that up so it’s got to be true see look at this sheep he’s just he’s just asking for it Isn’t he wants to bite you can tell look at him I won’t fall for your shenanigans sheep that’s right run run kick your ass alright so we are going north like I sounds good time to mention that this is a really really big map it doesn’t seem That large on the actual right up but it is quite large it will involve a lot of walking and a lot of exploration there’s also things to find as well when you find say clay blocks for example they typically hide secrets of some kind look at these chief there’s eating all the Grass terrible terrible so Oh as far as my own observations on the map i have actually played through it quite a bit unlocked a number of the puzzles and done via the adventuring and my overall assessment is that the map is pretty solid it’s got a really good Story I feel like a bit of reading and definitely you this has a lot of exposition on the background of what’s going on gives you a real good idea of you know why you’re here and what it is you’re doing here as I pointed out a few Times here already there is a lot of walking involved a whole lot of walking so it’s definitely something to get used to if you happen to be playing on normal or harder of course there would be a lot of company here at the forest among other things and that’s pretty much what I’ve got it is a good map though I definitely recommend taking a look at it if you’ve got it a good number of hours to kill it’s definitely something it’s worth your time the storytelling is good and such and that is where we are with The island of dr. Goro i would say tune in next week that’s not fair we’re actually gonna have an episode this coming sunday and depending on what’s going on and who all’s ready at the time it will be one of a few different things I’ll also say that in the very near Future we’re going to have a very special treat and the ability to discuss the upcoming one to update with mo yang which will be very very interesting as I’m sure a lot of people would love to hear about it so that ax further to do feel free to subscribe to the channel of Course if you enjoy what you see if you don’t let me know what’s going on and i’ll try and update and improve as necessary and thanks for tuning in you Video Information
