Minecraft Xbox – Try Harding – Battle Mini-Game

Hello this is stampy and welcome to a minecraft let’s play video today i’m playing the battle mini game here on the xbox 360 and it’s been a while since i’ve played the uh the the battle mini game and i thought it was high time i

Load it back up and have myself a few games so normally when i am playing the the battle mini game i am doing some sort of strange challenge some sort of normally a weird way to basically handicap myself to to make the the game more difficult

For myself i’m not doing that today in fact i am doing the opposite of that today i am going to be tryharding and if you don’t know what trihardic is basically it means but i mean in a nutshell it means just kind of trying to play to win

But it’s normally used it’s kind of like a almost like a mean way like to say if someone beats you you can be like oh well they only beat me because they’re try-harding and i always just think like well what are you doing like aren’t you playing to win

And so basically what i’m going to be doing is just trying my very very best to do as good as i can which seems like a really obvious thing to do but as i said that’s not normally the way i try to play so i am going to be very

Aggressive i am going to just do whatever requires for me to win you know because even even if i’m not doing one of my challenges i’m always not necessarily only playing to win i’m also trying to not be too mean i guess at the same time or or trying to to make

Sure that the video is entertaining so say if i would have been hiding in a room for a bit i wouldn’t do that because i don’t want the video to be boring in this game all i’m gonna do is try my very best to go after everyone i

See just to make sure i win the game if i can actually hit anyone so i haven’t really done this since i guess the closest thing to doing this was the the 10 in a row challenge well i basically had to be try harding because i had to

Try and win 10 games in a row which i was able to do a couple times so it is going to be a possible thing for me to do so i don’t need to win 10 games in a row that was a very difficult challenge

I do not recommend trying to to win 10 games in a row but i’m just gonna go and see how good i can do if i just go and try my absolute best with no silly gimmicks or changes and just try to track down as many of the enemy players as i can

To try and be able to take them all out uh so yeah let’s go and see if i can i can do that so we’re actually starting on a a very fitting map right now this is of course the halloween map and it is getting very close to halloween right

Now normally when i’m playing like these seasonal levels i’m like oh we’re playing the christmas level and it’s not near christmas all the halloween level and it’s not near near halloween but it seems very fitting to be playing this one but i will be honest there has been a little bit of a

Of a gap since i last played the battle mini game kind of at all like let alone in videos just at all so i might be a little bit rustier than i i would have been otherwise and i’m not just using that as an excuse i can’t i kind of am

Using it as an excuse but i think it’s a it’s a true excuse so if i’m gonna be accidentally throwing and wasting uh harming potions by accident that can be possibly the the reason why right there let’s go see if we can take out this person i actually don’t have

Much armor right now so it’d be good to maybe grab the other the helmet that this person had i have no idea if it’s a good or a bad helmet at all kind of considering that i have no idea where anything is inside of this texture pack

But let’s let’s assume it was an amazing helmet and going to to help me out i do have my bow and arrow which is always my my favorite weapon to to use here because you can kind of keep all of the the enemy players away while you go and

Take them out so as soon as i got my my bow and arrow i just start to feel a lot more a lot more confident than i would have otherwise so i’m definitely glad that i got that i got myself a diamond shovel as well which is probably one of

The the best weapons in the the game especially on this map actually because uh it’s kind of surrounded by lava there’s the the kind of green goo lava down there and this shovel is great knock back so you can kind of really send people flying all over the place but first

I need to to track down where the final player is it’s not the showdown yet i think i set it to normal length i’m not sure what normal length is but it means that the games won’t be too long and won’t be uh too short so it won’t be too

Long until the showdown but i don’t think that’s going to matter anyway because i do believe i have tracked down my final opponent and there we go i was able to get a poison potion on them straight away and then let’s charge in with the shovel if we can and what do

They have what do they have okay they’ve only got the the axe let’s let’s play it safe anyway let’s use the the bow and there we go i was able to to take them out so first round of a try harding was successful but i think i can do better

That was really my my introduction back to the the minigame after my break and i reckon in the next round i’m gonna hopefully be able to do even better uh be even more aggressive and try and take people out faster so right then let me

Go and cut ahead in the video until the next round is about to begin and let’s continue tryharding right then we are back into another game we have one two three four five players in the the game including me uh because i’m on 360 we can’t have the the really really big

Games we have like 16 players or something which uh it’s probably a good thing it just means that there’s more chance of me actually going to be able to win because there’s less players in the the game there isn’t a plane on here so i was actually like i tried playing on

Playstation 4 but i really struggled to find enough players to join i think there’s just way more players playing on 360 than playstation 4. so i did try doing this on ps4 but i kind of ended up going back to to what i know about er

Best the the old classic xbox 360 where i started my my minecraft journey you could say no oh that was so close i so nearly missed that slide but just smashed right into the the ground i haven’t actually played these levels too much so i don’t know where all of the

The chests are i don’t like the the first levels i learned whether the chess are the problem is every time they had a new map it’s like a whole new level to learn and then i learned all the chess on that map and then i forget where the

The ones on the old maps are and stuff and i’m kind of continually having to to kind of learn where all of the chess are so uh yeah let’s just go and see if i can find what i can i got a diamond sword but it’s a really damaged diamond

Sword so you can really get like i think it’s two hits you can get on someone and then uh you have to switch away which can help like that that is normally enough to to get like someone’s damage probably half down depending on how much armor they have so it’s not anything to

To to scoff at but just when you say like a diamond sword it just sounds like the best weapon in the game when i’d actually probably prefer a weapon that lasts a little bit longer and what do we got what are these what’s this we’ve got invisibility uh i can’t even tell what

These potions are we got so we’ve got invisibility swiftness and invisibility okay these are like some of the worst ones let’s just let’s just drink all of these now basically just to clear up my inventory at all i could see someone on the the rooftop can i like jump across

The root rooftops to get to them that would be cool is there slime down there oh there is all right let’s jump on to this oh don’t miss don’t miss and then into the tree and then we can go and like jump our way up this way maybe

Let’s have a a little quick check behind me my invisibility doesn’t really do much since i’m covered in armor so i gotta be ready for for someone to to ambush me i’m gonna have something to eat as well just to keep my hunger up a very

Valuable tip that i always say is just keep your keep your hunger full i know hello there oh there’s loads of people there’s someone else underneath right let’s uh oh okay i’ve fallen down are we okay hopefully those people are gonna fight each other actually let’s say is

One of them gonna fall down there’s a good chance one of these guys is gonna fall down oh they did fall down when he pulls down to grab that stuff then i can surprise him with the diamond sword and then take him out that worked beautifully when there’s two people

Together oh i think i just made someone rage quit that’s what you do when you try hard yeah like a great thing to do there is just let them fight each other and then you can just clean up the scraps it doesn’t matter who actually takes them

Out as long as as long as you’re the the one left alive at the the end uh that is all that matters and i got myself another diamond shovel here i think these are i think these might be um some some iron boots here these iron boots

There we go we’ve got all with thorns on it as well very good and i got three harming potions as well i’ve got a fire resistance that’s not going to really help me out too much but a smash potion of poison wheels there we go i got a

Bunch of like harming potions and a poison potion as well so i feel pretty confident to to go in against the the last person really just kind of focusing on the um uh focusing on using the the potions i probably won’t really need to to use the the shovel too much but the

Main thing i need to do is try and track down where this last player is and just make sure i don’t get ambushed as well so let’s kind of walk out in the open there’s a chance they might spot me but i’m kind of in the open enough that if

They did spot me and came after me i should have enough time to dodge but the showdown’s begun but i can’t see i can’t see where they are oh there they are okay they’re coming right for me right let’s get the um let’s get the hunger up let’s listen to

My my own strategies we’ll go for poison first there we go that was the poison humming humming humming and then shovel yeah that’s what you do when you’re try harding oh dear oh that’s a lot of fun right there that is two for two so far in try

Harding mode you see what i mean don’t you just feel me like it’s fun it is fun but you do just feel a little bit mean at the same time when you’re kind of just playing all out right to win but that’s the uh the aim of today’s video

So that’s what i’m going to continue doing and i know they keep leaving they keep leaving maybe i should stop try harding so much more people are joining in though so yeah let’s once again cut ahead in the video until we’re about to start the next round and let’s see if we can

Continue the streak right then we are in the the next round playing on shrunk this time it wouldn’t be a battle mini game video if i wasn’t playing shrunk at some point during the other video i actually really don’t like what am i doing why am i in third person run away

Yeah the problem we’ve shrunk on the the 360 is that it really struggles like it really kind of lags a little bit this is the only map that does it for some reason i think it might be the way the ceiling is because it’s like a bunch of

Like string and carpet and stuff so that’s one of the problems you see how it’s kind of like it kind of reminds me of my lovely world a little bit you see that the frame rate just drops all of the time that isn’t the only reason i

Don’t like shrunk it’s not one of my favorite maps either but yeah just makes it especially hard to play on the the 360 like it’s not awful it’s not unplayable but it’s just not one of the the most pleasant maps to go on but i did get some pretty good things to to

Start with this was a a pretty nice start overall i got myself a shovel again i got iron leggings diamond a boot and i got my a trusted bow and plenty of food as well which means i believe i should be ready to to go straight into

And to try hard hunting down the the other players mode and all someone’s in the middle should i just jump down on here i think i’ve got enough armor and then i can just have the the healing potion straight away have a little bit to eat because i always want to keep my

Food up they have not even turned around once that is another important tip never just stay looking in a chest floor for too long because otherwise a sneaky cat like me might come up behind you and then knock you flying off the edge oh they landed somewhere

They were lucky they didn’t fall the whole way down there all right let’s so let’s play this safe and let’s just try and use the the bow actually i should save my arrows i think there oh no oh i fell i fell okay they might have gone

Off lucky here where are they gonna go are they gonna drop down oh i might be gonna get them with the bow don’t go on the edge don’t go on the edge they did not want to go up near the edge that was not what they should have done there

But it turned out really good for me and oh i got an iron shovel i’ve got an upgrade no not a nine shovel a nine ax sorry i got a diamond shovel so i’m gonna keep the the shovel at hand uh because the the knock back can still be

Just good by itself especially on a map like this where there’s lots of lovely places to to knock people down actually the the axe actually has a knockback on it as well not as good not that but it still does have a knockback on it as

Well and look at my armor all i need is a chest plate and then i got a a full a perfect set of armor so i really don’t need to to worry about chest too much anymore i mean there’s one on the top of this on top of here oh let’s just

Go and get it it’s there and it’s shiny there might be something good in it but then i want to go make my way up to the the top of the the map because there’s a good chance that that is where the the

Other fellow is and if i can um if i can get up there and take them out when they’re once again looking into a chest then that will be another victory uh for for me and uh to continue uh my streak of terror of stampy try harding right

Then the showdown has begun are they in the middle they’re not in the middle where are they are they around the top somewhere can you see them oh i been blind i’m always really blind at these moments i can never see their game attack let’s not be completely out in

The middle let’s go to the the edge a little bit and then looks look over where are they are they crouched does it matter if you’re crouched i can’t remember if it matters but maybe maybe they’re crouched somewhere i have no idea where they are there is something

Left in the who is it who we after turquoise path four seven six where are you where are you hiding you can’t hide forever i’m going to track you down you think i should maybe go and get the the high ground somewhere if i go and make

My way up to the the top here then i think i might have a better chance to be able to see where they are and also means that they’re not going to end up surprising me i’ve done a decent amount of damage because i took up that other

Player i’ve done a nice amount of damage which means that if we do run out of time i should win by that way it’s just not a very fun way to to win the the game that’s another another top tip oh there’s something down there yeah if uh

If there it is a situation where you feel like you haven’t done much damage never let time go always always make sure you at least fight at the the end and then you’ll have at least a chance to be able to to win so i don’t think

That they were hiding i think i was just being blind at all there’s a poison potion in here this might be enough to get me the victory they have a lot of good armor though this isn’t like the the other fight i’ve got to be careful

Here i can’t i can’t get a little bit too confident there’s a problem between getting over competent and and try harding and i want to make sure that i do play it safe because they had the best weapon in the the game the the flamestone sword just does a crazy

Amount of damage and then they had the the the iron chest plate so the only reason i won is because i spotted them first they went into the middle and before checking behind them they looked straight into the the chest and i was able to just sneak up behind them and

Take them out that way so there we go we now have a game once again starting to fill up so let’s keep the the train rolling let’s cut a header again and let’s go and get straight into another round and we got shrunk again amazing

The map i don’t like very much which is quite laggy i mean i i know i’m in the minority like the fact that we get shrunk so much means i have to be oh is that that’s different isn’t it did that used to be like that i’m sure that have

They changed the map at all anyway yeah i know i must be in the minority because i never liked this map from the start it’s not like i love the look of it i love the the theme i love the the style of it i just don’t like playing on it

Very much and oh hello hello hello hello is this guy going after me i think they are i don’t have a proper weapon yet but i do have some pretty scary potions and i think they might have seen that and decided to right away where should i go

Can i go up that way i don’t know where to go from here oh i know what it is it’s because there’s more players in the game we got the uh the bigger version of the the map rather than the the smaller one that’s what’s uh that’s what’s

Different anyway let’s go and get this shovel at least have a something to be able to defend myself with but i’m really relying on all of these potions for for now i got the poison potions and a couple harming it might not be enough to to finish someone off but

This bow will be so let’s go and grab that i’m very scared you see how i try to grab it really quick and then immediately turned around behind me that’s what you need to do in that situation if i stayed there any longer uh then there’s a good chance someone

Would have been able to creep up on me so i probably don’t need this many poison ones so let’s go and grab another harming potion here let’s back off and get my food up as i said eating food is very very important let’s go and grab the bow and give it

Next to the shovel we’re gonna propagate with our hands here because i don’t have great stuff and there’s uh still a couple people left in the the game this might not be as easy as some of the the other rounds have been i don’t know if i

Should wait for the the middle chest to refill or go go wandering i kind of don’t really know where any of the chests are maybe i should go downhill there’s one inside of this little truck down here isn’t there let’s go and uh and see if we can grab this one inside

Of here and it’s empty of course it’s empty right then let’s uh let’s go for a little look around like i don’t have to i don’t have to attack when i see someone there’s always the option of running away so if i see someone with a

Bunch of good stuff i’m just gonna avoid them i’m just gonna not even go near them and i’m just going to play it safe let’s be careful of this fire which is going to come blazing out although someone’s already set this off before i’ve got to be careful don’t spend too

Long looking in the chest always check around you but i do want to to grab some of these other things let’s go and grab the the boots and then the the golden apple as well and then i’m gonna go and grab the uh uh the poison potion again

And then the food right there we go that was a really long time getting the the chest but i kept checking behind me so i felt pretty safe i now got a little bit more armor i got myself the diamond shovel so i feel a little bit more confident to go

After people i was kind of in avoiding still looking for chest mode but i think uh i’m now just about out of that mode considering the the stuff that i have just a little bit more armor is the only thing that would be really great at this

Point maybe a few more spare arrows but that’s just me being greedy so let’s go and get the the chest on the top of this dinosaur head and then i’m gonna go and try and find a way back up into the middle and oh there we go that was a

Whole load of arrows so that’s the the arrow situation sorted out let’s go and oh did i miss the pressure plate i think i missed the pressure plate there’s like a really cool bit where it launches you up here i love all these like little these are like launch pads and stuff

Around the place just make it way more fun to get around so let’s go and climb my way through these poor books that have been chopped up to allow us to be able to go through them and oh there’s someone there i don’t know where the other person is but they look like

They’re making their way to the middle this can be a bit of a scary situation here because i don’t want to be in the middle of a fight with that guy and then the other person kind of comes up after us and they got they got some stuff i

Want actually i want that chest plate i really want that chest plate let’s see if i can or where have they gone all right let’s see if i can get the poison potion there we go that is gonna both hurt them and slow them down at the same

Time and are they holding a better chair oh they gave it to me the last thing that they did was throw down the the chest plate they are certainly not try-harding it just makes me feel mean when that happens but that is the aim of the game this is the try

Hard mean stampy cat video where i’m being mean try harding and taking out as many people as i can as fast as i can oh did i hear someone i might be imagining things i think i just heard a thud or something let’s let’s go make my way up

To the the top in the middle here is there anyone around here okay there’s no one close by but we are in the the show down now though so i should in theory be able to see where they are oh there’s only 60 seconds left oh this

Is good this is good it means that they even need to run out and try and attack me now or i’m going to win and oh there’s an armor stand up there and i thought for certain that was a person there for a second so this is what i

Talked about earlier like if they don’t run out and fight me and i end up winning because of it and that’s just not a good move for them like even if they think they couldn’t beat me you might as well try if you’re gonna lose

Anyway you might as well at least go and try and go after them at all i don’t think that’s gonna be necessary anyway they’re not gonna need to go after me because i am to go after them miss oh no i got them i thought i was going to miss

Without harming potion let’s go and have this uh this golden apple then let’s go and uh try and get them with some of these uh these arrows i think these might have power on them i think i’ve got weakness on me though so that’s going to slow me down and this guy has

Some pretty decent armor but those were some good shots i fired straight and true and hit my target almost every single time i think i missed one or two but still not too bad all of the the same so so far we have one how many we won like

Not four in a row this is gonna i might just do like the 10 in a row challenge in just two videos or something by the looks of this this is what happens when you try hard right there let’s go and do uh let’s do

At least one more game then shall we uh let’s try to not get shrunk i bet you someone’s voted for shrunk i bet you in the next like five seconds there we go someone’s vote for shrunk already this is my life this is what my life requires

So i’m gonna play one more round not on trunks i’m basically going to to keep playing until we get a map that isn’t trunk and then we will end things there and see if we can make it five for five right then we are back to where we

Started on the the halloween map we’ve gone full circle by the looks of things i don’t mind though because it is a very fitting map to be playing right now considering uh we are so close to halloween itself so right then let’s go and back off from the middle i always

Try and run away straight away especially because sometimes i do get uh recognized when people do kind of know the the game attack and sometimes it means that they’re more mean to me and sometimes it means that they’re they’re more nice to me it just means though at

The beginning i just want to get uh very far away oh hello didn’t even see this person i was being completely blind they had a perfect chance to ambush me but this is try hard stampy cat so i am not going to let them escape oh in the lava in the

Lava in the lava that’s actually bad though it means that all of their their loot burn so i wasn’t able to to get it so sometimes it’s not actually a great time to a great idea to knock them in the lava right then the middle chest is

Starting to to refill i don’t know if i quite feel brave enough to head into the middle yet i don’t really have a great melee weapon and i’ve only got five arrows let’s just do it let’s just do it come on let’s see if i can get anything

Good from oh someone’s been there these chests had refilled but now they’ve gone someone was here like just a second ago oh but they just fulfilled again something good something good something good okay i got a sword it does slightly more damage than me oh no does

It do more damage it does do more it does slightly more damage than the the iron shovel i’m surprised with actually i thought the the iron shovel would be better so okay i’ve got a slightly better weapon hello hello oh no not good not good not good not good i need to

React fast i need to strafe around and make sure that they miss and then take them out that was pretty embarrassing to be honest i should not be getting surprised like that but it all it all ended up okay in the the end they did have the the

Element of surprise but i did a good job avoiding them there like a lot of people they get into the the habit of they get into a fight and then they keep hitting each other with the swords they kind of just stand there like that until whoever’s got the best armor or best

Weapons wins and that isn’t a good way to do it even if you have the best armor dodge make it hard for them don’t stand still don’t give them an easy target move around move those feet and then make it way more difficult for them to

Actually be able to to get you and that’s kind of what i tried to do there is a bit of a an awkward situation but i made it work and now we are once again down to a 1v1 it’s just me and one other player i’m already camping i’m just

Trying to find out where they are so i can try and go after them i reckon they’re inside i reckon they’re in there that’s my bet i bet they’re inside of that building there a lot of people go inside of that building i don’t know that

I’m just guessing but uh that is uh my best guess right now right then shall i oh okay it’s showdown where are they am i right oh i don’t think i was right oh yeah i was right i was right there in that building i knew they’d be in that building

Like you’ve always got to kind of keep track of like where you’ve seen the other player and where they might and where like they can’t be and oh they have a bow as well i want to be careful because i don’t want to be i don’t want

To be doing a bow battle while i’m on the the soul sand let’s maybe try and push in a little bit closer then let’s try and get the high ground at all they have an iron shovel as well but they’re they’re struggling to hit me and i hit

Them i was able to hit that they can’t get me off okay now they set me fine this is good because i wanted to get sent flying and then i can use the the bow so they had a much better melee weapon than me so i was absolutely fine

Being not back then just as long as i didn’t land in the lava what a weird funny way to enter the final round but that was sadly the the final round of this let me know if you enjoyed this i know a lot of people just like enjoy you

Know watching me just kind of playing the battle mini game normally i do want to start doing some more challenges uh soon though and i actually had an idea for a challenge during this video which i didn’t mention to you but i might be doing that in the future but of course

If you have any ideas for challenges that you came up with or just other ones that you think would be a cool idea feel free to leave them as a comment down below and i will uh possibly uh do some of them in the future but for now i

Really do hope you enjoyed this video and i will see you all in the next one bye
