Top 10 Scary Minecraft Warden Origin Stories

The warden is a mysterious creature getting irritated at the slightest pin drop it’s like conor when i make him uncomfortable either way he’s still a mystery and one of those is his origins so where could the warden have come from that’s what we’re exploring today let’s do it

Coming in at number 10 the backstory do you remember what minecraft used to be a plain old scary when witches crackled through the walls in your mining tunnels mysterious ambient noises would give you shivers and phantom terrorized you with screams from the sky ah those were the

Days with the introduction of the warden in the wild update players are brave enough to explore the deep dark bombs will soon be in for the new experience hold your horse mobs why in the gem’s name would you make minecraft scarier and what is the warden anyway i hear

Some of you ask the warden is an unstoppable force in nature and a challenge that you must overcome in ways that you may not be used to the traditional minecraft gameplay it’s a little bit different says brandon pierce vanilla gameplay developer represents a new style of overwhelming obstacles but

You’re able to out maneuver it you should be able to obtain some interesting rewards those rewards surely won’t come easy because the warden is unlike any mob you’ve ever faced or technically ever encountered in the world of minecraft a hostile and incredibly powerful being that resides in a secluded all-new deep dark bio

Sound and it sounds like you know the mob boss is kind of like the ender dragon or the wither but according to brandon it’s not it’s definitely the water in a nine sentient end frame while this is absolutely a wild idea we do need to let ourselves have fun every

Once in a while right well dream and matpat both pointed out during their shared game theory episode that the warden seems to have the same colors and shades as an end portal dream even said that he would recognize that thing anywhere and while matpat brushed it off

Does this have any real warrant to it i mean is it possible that the warden came from a sentient end portal frame probably not but maybe the end portal frames came from the warden i mean we know that the warden portal opened and caused him to

Kill the wither but we also know that they went to the end after the ancient cities since there is better enchanted gear in the end cities than the ancient ones just like natural progression of their society would mean that the end cities come after but how would they

Have made the end portal frames the ones that harness the condensed souls of endermen and use it to open a portal maybe the skulk catalyst is used for more than just converting experience coming in at number eight the warden was a human the warden was a griefer with

Carmine before he arrived at the sunshine institute as a part of a second group a guest people who romeo sent to make sure that people who made them extra angry will be well behaved he became the warden of the institute by selling out carmine which we know to be

The ancient city but he was human during these times of the olden days the warden was bald and had grayish blue eyes he wore a steampunk eye patch a military-like suit with a sash not a stash a sash this is where it gets freaky because the warden is pretty much

Watching over these so-called minecraft prison where he became power hungry the warden’s voice can be heard explaining at the end of the giant consequences finger quotations giant consequences sounding as a calm man who explanatory and was very observant but the water was calm and was a manipulator and will go

To very great lengths even if it means threatening people to get what he wants so much to the point hearing the great consequence aka the skunk growth while people evacuated the warden did not he reached out to the witch and asked her for immortality well warty this is where

It comes with a price you have been evil your whole life you just want to live but be warned you will be feared and twice as strong with a consequence i don’t care the warden says poof and the deed is done after you wake up from your

Next slumber your wish will come true thus it did the warden didn’t wake up from a nice nap but being overrun by the skull girls instead being summoned to the dark abyss to realize he was blind and it’s seven skult golem or perhaps this warden is merely a more powerful

Iron golem that is made from skulk i mean we can see what looks like skull confused golems in the poster for minecraft legends and the warden is very similar to an iron golem at least silhouette wise they both have long arms that are longer than they should be a

Wide midsection and short stumpy legs i mean the warden is taller than an iron golem but he’s also more powerful than an iron golem so it makes sense iron golems do attack wardens but maybe it’s an inferiority complex kind of thing you know yeah you might get it especially when

The warden can somehow fit in a three by one tunnel and the golem needs his full body width as well as a three block height to be able to go anywhere i mean it would make sense for the ancient builders to make a more powerful golem to defend against the wither especially

When it was barreling down towards them blowing its way through deep slate and stone and with something that can even destroy obsidian what else can you do maybe it started off as a golem that was taken over by the skulk and then converted for its own means maybe they

Built a golem let the portal to escape and then the skulk came through and took it over it does make a form of sense coming in at number six fan depiction where the nbc looks to be carrying on the minecraft tradition of disturbing monster design a fact that was noticed

And swiftly capitalized on upon reddit user working elevator 840 in a post shared to minecraft subreddit worker elevator 840 shows off their interpretation of this hulking lovecraftian beast the sketch which appears to have been drawn in either ink or pencil depicts the faceless monster walking forward surrounded by some sort

Of dark void the only other object in the drawing is a small spider hate spiders but spider hanging above the warden’s head minecraft fan art is nothing new though but this illustration will definitely leave a lasting impression on many viewers warden are one of the more intimidating enemies in

The game and this drawing captures much of that iconic details like the horns the open torso cavity and the general dark coloring interestingly enough working elevator 840 appears to have taken a few created liberties with this design making a giant enemy significant slimmer and more human-like in its body

Proportions the warden in the drawing also looks to be walking more elegantly than it is in its game counterparts who are blind and have been shown to throw themselves around clumsily this warden he’s smart he looks like a he honestly looks like something from alien vs predator like that guy not working 840

Elevator i’m sorry if i pronounced his name wrong but bro you did a great job bro halfway through into number five the nether guardian this is again a wild one but hear me out this is probably not the case but again gotta have some fun every

Once in a while well what put me on this path of thinking was actually wither skeletons because matpat and others on reddit have proposed the idea that maybe these are the bodies of fallen builders buried in or absorbed by the soul sand that we know as faces of souls trapped

Inside the skeletons left over would then be burnt from the harsh climate of the nether or the blazes could have just burnt them because you know again they’re skeletons and i mean like having to fight off reincarnated skeletons that were formally family is kind of messed

Up and this could also be how they discovered the unique properties of soul sand and then this leads them to accidentally summoning the wither and then you know the rest but we know that wardens and skulk have the ability to also manipulate and use souls wardens

Have souls on their chest in the exact same place that soul sand faces have except it’s just mirrored like if you take it and flip it horizontally it lines up perfectly so what if the warden either came from the nether or since the texture is flipped its own dimension is

Simply a mirrored version of the nether no coming in at number four a blind stalker the water was originally called the stalker and would reside in the totem covered biome where it would remain a statue like until some reckless player would try to grab its chest

Crystal causing it to come to life so the water may be something that you will have to face or even explore in the deep dark bio but the concept was originally intended for the nether update we had this in a post-it note for a new biome

And one of the things we wanted to include in it was the blind piglet that could only respond to sound brandon explains but of course they didn’t have time to explore it at the time but we did end up revising that concept for a blind mob again when we did a gameplay

Summit for caves and cliffs i got assigned that note and had come up with the concept that the also scary aspect also proved to be especially important due to its lifelong history in minecraft and so it became a central theme in the development of the new mob despite its

Charming exterior reflecting on the game’s history it made very evident that the horror part of minecraft’s dna the feeling of stepping down into the depths of the dark cave for the first time hearing the clink of a skeleton’s bones or zombie anguish growls all of these aspects create an experience that probes

Your imagination it goes to the end of the number three condensed souls skunk is known to contain souls this is fairly evident skulk blocks hold xp that you can get by breaking it with a hoe no not that one skull catalyst turns souls into skulk and skull shriekers have souls

Swimming around them that literally scream whenever they hear anything and even the warden has souls in its chest so could the warden just instead of being a golem or an allay or something like that just me a mass of hundreds of souls which is what would make him so tough and terrifying especially

Considering my theory about how the warden can see your soul since like through 12 meters of solid stone there should be no way that a warden could smell or hear me if i’m sneaking yet he’s still able to nearly one-shot me and again i was capturing one on a live

Stream i was flying around on an elytra over 30 blocks away dude could still see me so yeah the warden being a condensed soul amalgam monster would definitely make sense coming into two in a recent developer diary mo yang briefly explains how the wardens rage and anger help shape the creatures design and

Behavior in minecraft the wild update while the underground creatures are legitimately frightened some players are also successfully retexturing them to look even scarier in a recent developer diary mojang briefly explained how wardens rage and anger helped shape the creature’s design although mo yang did not offer a brief look at the wardens

Design the creature origin is still a complete mystery and that a foundation of the popular game theorist map pack couldn’t resist on speculating in one of his latest videos matpat tries to theorize about the warden’s mystery origins in minecraft by examining every asset added to the game with the wild

Update according to the theorists the creature was mistakenly summoned by soldiers who tried to open an escape portal but instead let these monsters back into minecraft’s overworld dimension finally number one the wither it’s also proposed that the ancient rhesus of builders actually ended up being saved from the wither by

The warden hence the mention of killing the wither but on disc 5 you can actually hear the wither slowly blasting its way down into the depths of the earth until eventually it breaks through into the ancient city after which a portal seemingly the structure in the middle of the city is lit however

Instead of going through something instead comes out the skulk including the scream of the warden which if you can play close enough attention to also contains the scream of a wither dying as to what the ancient builders did with the netherstar no idea they might have

Just lied to d spawn if you want to use game turns and then they maybe tried living amongst the skull hence the wall but then eventually realized that yeah that wasn’t gonna happen and then they got wiped out or they fled into the end who knows no one because it’s just a

Theory a minecraft theory that’s all we have that’s where we’re done we’re not doing this uh that’s all you have for you today me and the king cheese you know we’re the great crafting crew we are out [Laughter] okay you’ve been spending too much time with your dog you sounded like you’re

Rottie at that point what do you mean when you were when you were coughing that that was a bark at the end of the day the water is just op like if you guys don’t know that by now like the water is just op like straight up i’m cleaning my glasses

Because you know he’s just that serious god damn it coming in at number two though okay gordon is not okay just get a piston going You
