Unbelievable: Beat the Minecraft World Record

All right welcome in uh we are straight up reacting to the uh Second Place run dugy got a 7:30 as many of you guys may have seen I did upload a video the other day uh asking whether the world record is quote unquote unbeatable it’s not I

Know it’s not uh it’s definitely it’s definitely 100% beatable I just honestly believed that given the fact that the world record had stood for so long it would stand for a little while uh however I am less confident in that given the fact that Dugal was able to

Get not only this run but there’s been tons of runs in the past four or five days that have all been amazing Dugal I believe got three uh here we go you can see them all here he got three sub nin in the last few days um he’s just an

Absolute demon he’s cranking these sub nins out um obviously getting second place beating zylenox time only missing out on world record by around about four or 5 seconds it’s a fantastic run obviously links are down in the description this is on du’s second account uh at dug1 make sure you go and

Subscribe and obviously subscribe to his twitch as well he’s live basically every day on there as well doing ranked runs doing resets so make sure you drop him a follow let’s start off this run it does start in a remarkably similar way to how the world record does on a beach except

We noticed the ruin portal straight away which is something that no fe’s run didn’t have kind of the the bar treasure was the first thought and then the ruin portal was the second thought in this one we see the ruin portal instantly um head straight on over towards it and

Once again this time we grab a couple of things uh some obsidian is going to be useful gold armor is nice and no food in this one unlike the six golden carrots we saw in the world record but at least we get a flint and steel which was is

Obviously going to be really helpful the Portal’s completable I believe uh and obviously we see this uh shipwreck right here going to give us some wood going to give us some iron and substantially enough iron for him to make full uh full wooden tools and sorry full iron tools and shears if

He does want to again similar to how the run for no fear went just a different source of food in this run to be fair the shears are going to be pretty tough here the leaves are all kind of high up so I don’t know if he will go for them

Makes the iron okay does go for the shears I don’t know how he’s going to deal with this because this uh whoa oh I didn’t know this in the Run that’s wild he replaces the wood underneath him after he breaks it to be able to grab the leaves that’s very very

Interesting I don’t know if that’s the correct play uh it’s probably beyond my payg grade I don’t know if I should be the one that says whether this is correct or not but it feels pretty wild to place more wood when in reality you could probably just deal with this

Jungle wood here well well I assume he may dig down on this pillar uh so that he can get to the food chest on the right hand side or he may instead decide to dig through the uh yeah digs through the sand instead okay okay a bunch of carrots no golden

Carrots but we could maybe get a gold block from this from this roaring portal which I would presume is what Duke does here um kind of organizing the inventory not doing a whole lot and deciding to yeah I believe we’re going to see a portal repair here

Amazing dude I love this portal repair it’s way more difficult than um the one from no feere it requires a bit more mechanics but doesn’t go for the gold block which I’m kind of interested by because I think just having those gold carrots could allow him to I don’t know

Pearl more aggressively uh Play Slightly more confidently but again a similarly slow nether enter here at like 146 a very very similar time uh to no fears enter and you know we’re talking with slightly less food uh slightly fewer blocks slight just a slightly worse inventory setup uh just

For the fact that there’s seven raw carrots and two suspicious stew versus the four Cod three salmon 6G carrots from um Noir so it’s a it’s a pretty tough it’s a much more difficult situation for doil but once we enter the nether obviously we have the simple

Strategy of the eay is going to be coming out straight away he notices that there’s a Bastion in this direction head straight there we do notice the Soul Sand Valley fortress on the left hand side which is awesome um actually re f3s there I think he might have been going in the wrong

Direction so re eras and goes to the right takes the lower terrain because the top looks like it cuts off which is really really nice and obviously this Bastion is right here on his right um housing could be doing man hunt here this is probably what’s going

Through his mind are we going for Manhunt or are we going for uh any other situation well it’s just going to be Manhunt because we’re at the bottom of this housing here spots this chest um obviously there are two main routes for housing either top down which is kind of

Self-explanatory you go from the top of the Bastion down uh and Manhunt we start at the bottom and we go into the good part and we’re going to see that right here uh even if there is lava on the floor we’re going to probably see Dugal

Crank over it with the leaves um or maybe or maybe with wood cuz I think it burns slightly slower going to break this chest here oh okay no Lava at the bottom this is beautiful uh having the dry Manhunt allowing him to break this chest and all

Of these piglins and they’re going to chase him into the bottom of the Bastion which is awesome also toggles his difficulty to hard I don’t know why that pig in front of him wasn’t angry was he standing behind a block this guy here just doesn’t get angry and I’m kind of surprised that

Dgal doesn’t go for a punch on the way past uh cuz it would reago maybe some of the piglins that are higher up and this side of the Bastion again he is in F5 mode is a bit annoying is a bit out of his way um but definitely could be a

Consideration there uh I really like this as well I know that some players like to use lava here but uh dgal goes for Flint steel so by placing these two bits of fire the piglins will not try and pathfind to you by going this way instead they’ll come up the stairs and

Follow you which is exactly where you want them to go weirdly I’m not hearing any piglins being angry at him he’s not he’s not getting chased by any piglins here uh so this Manhunt route could be a little bit slow which is a little bit tough not hearing any pigs behind him

This is a bit of a nightmare that’s that’s really unfortunate um toles a difficulty back to hard to try and get piglins to fall down um so by putting your difficulty on hard piglins are more happy to take damage to try and kill you

So for example if a piglin in a high up spot but they are happy to maybe walk off an edge and instead take more fall damage just so that they can try and hit you once so by toggling to hard I believe the difference between hard and

Normal is the exact same so toggling between easy to normal versus easy to hard doesn’t make a difference but the difference is on easy they’ll only drop I think it’s five blocks might be wrong someone in the comments will correctly me if I’m wrong and I think on hard it

Goes up to seven blocks I’m going to need to get fact checked on that but I know they drop further if they’re on hard mode obviously Dall just getting the normal expected Gold Blocks I hear a few more Angry piglins maybe coming from the um The Manhunt route now obviously

Does have a lot of gold um but it could have been useful to have one gold block for the golden carrots um I believe Dugal uses home portal here so he doesn’t actually need to get all 20 Obby uh so maybe could do with a few less trades just clearing out his inventory

Really really uh efficient way of cleaning the inventory here uh within just a few seconds he’s able to just notice absolutely everything that he needs and everything that he doesn’t we can see here his inventory is basically full um you know 33 out of the 36 slots

Are full and by the time you know just two or three seconds later he’s got absolutely everything out of there that he doesn’t need and he’s down to exactly what he does need puts the food in the off hand and is able to eat that as soon

As that is done gets a good jump boost effect not particularly useful but actually one of the better ones because it doesn’t give you any downsides uh obviously you’ve got things like weakness which in this case wouldn’t actually be that bad uh but blindness can be a bit

Frustrating um because it also kind of gives you that slowing effect as well as obviously things like poison wouldn’t be ideal um and then the best one you can get is saturation being um the best saturation food in the game uh but obviously it is random as to what potion

Effect it is going to give you dugar grabs the iron nuggets not that I think he needs them for anything right no I don’t think he does he’s got nine axe everything that he probably needs unless I’m forgetting something um and 17 Obby but he is just going to

Go he knows that the home Portal’s close and given that this run was just after the world record using a home portal I think that that’s probably fresh in his mind he’s just going to be able to you know rip a couple of pears straight back

To the Fortress uh and P hang back towards the home portal okay so now he’s using the spare gold to make G carrots which I I like I like which is great obviously he’s going to get the same amount of golden carrots either way I don’t know if eating them

Earlier or making them earlier would have been beneficial I would have personally probably thought about grabbing the gold Block in the Overworld but it does just lose you time and I’m not a world record Contender so um I would if I had to choose I would probably take duy’s decision making over

My own uh but I’m just trying to explain my thoughts and kind of analyze it to the best of my abilities uh break it down for people and uh kind of show exactly what dall’s doing here obviously he notices he’s back at his home portal I’m assuming he’s going to throw a pearl

To the Fort throw a cool Pearl hang he may even do the straight up Pearl throw here um that we see some Runners do so throw a pearl this way and then throw one up okay he’s not going to just going to do a regular Pearl hang here also he’s overlapping five render

Distance with the Pearl hang which is fantastic able to um increase the blaze spawns um using the lower render distance hopefully and obviously Soul Sand Valley Soul Sand Valley uh is the best biome in the game to do the five render distance trick with where you can

Try and get some more Blazers to spawn around you already seeing Blaze crackles this is beautiful gets one Spawn Two spawns right there perfect and I believe I know that he goes oh he doesn’t go five for five okay I think he goes 5 for six then exactly the same rates as no

Fear as well it’s a really really similar run uh just a few seconds apart two rods oh I didn’t even see that Wither Skeleton there lucky that he obviously has the golden carrot so it really doesn’t make too much of a difference for and obviously he decides not to go

For the blaze that kind of flew down here there was a there was a fourth spawn in that stray pack uh but it’s kind of off the edge so I think even if he does get the kill there it’s probably going to drop the rod down the side of

The Fortress so it’s not particularly helpful going to get the fifth rod and then kills a sixth oh okay so he does try and push for six rods but simply doesn’t get it and goes for the increase in render distance going back to his home portal I mean I love this play it’s

Home portal finally getting the recognition it deserves with two backto back first and second place runs boat eye as well I think we see a successful one throw though right yeah there we go so measuring that I 1102 100% accuracy and how many beds have we got here five explosives and he needs

One single extra piece of Glowstone Dust so notice here that to make one anchor you need to have three glowstone blocks and uh one extra glow stone to charge the anchor um obviously he’s only got three glowstone dust so needs one more to be able to charge it but I think on

The way to the second portal there’s not a single piece of Glowstone that’s particularly accessible uh the only way he could have got it was in the Bastion and that’s not really something you’re thinking about at that point in time instead you’re probably thinking about

It now you go okay right I’ve got five I’ve got five explosives maybe he feels more comfortable with a six explosive zero so he’s probably thinking about that but there’s absolutely no time for him to think about it two perfect pearls and he’s at the coordinates like about

Seven blocks off so we’re just going to see him crank over to these 164 4 and 24 he’s at the 24 right now 164 is here makes the portal perfectly really quick as expected and spawns in the St of staircase preemptive and spots something in that direction so goes oh my God

Insta pearls in the pearls in the stronghold oh my God pearls aggressively down the corridor as soon as he sees it so that he knows and he just saves an like this is this is pretty much copy and paste of no fears run holy this is actually like so similar that’s so

Similar pears straight down here uh places the block and goes straight in for he does attempt the zero cycle here I believe I believe it was 065 so uh sorry 056 what am I saying 065 um you can see on the left hand side right here uh 05

Six this means that the uh block at the surface or the block that is highest up uh and exposed to air is going to be at y level 56 and obviously you start by looking at 52 so Dugal knows that he can dig three blocks I think it’s three and

Then you can clip through the final block 1 two three and then h four I’m stupid so he throws it’s he breaks four blocks Clips through the final block and goes for zero cycle with five explosives throws the Pearl it is front drag but it is high and I can’t remember exactly

What the tower is 91 okay this is tough and just decides to dip straight out of it it’s it’s sad good very very good level Runners who I’ve spoken to this about have basically said this is doable um but it needs to be offset by one because of the tower height I

Believe so if you’re bling up to 95 you need to offset by one block it’s something that I’m still learning zero CLE is pretty confusing as a whole uh there’s just a lot of setups and I think that potentially with the nerves only with five explosives and with the 56

Pearl clip and on world record Pace I can understand why Duke hasn’t gone for this zero cycle it would have been world record if you hit the zero uh bear that in mind however obviously very very difficult zero to hit and you know from a guy like me I’m

Not I’m not the guy that’s going to be judging people for not going for zero Cycles here uh because I couldn’t do it so um seeing dgal go for it or not go for it it’s still an immensely impressive run and obviously at the end of this run we just have to

Sit and wait for the perch it is pretty damn close chat is going absolutely wild in the bottom left corner and he actually goes for the forcing the diagonal perch which I love by the way again it’s it’s a play that no one else is really going to think of unless

You’re on this this world record Pace cuz I’m pretty confident Dugal could hit this one cycle but I’m also pretty confident he probably doesn’t practice it he doesn’t practice going for a diagonal perch um but for those of you who don’t know this is a set seed strategy whereby it saves about 4

Seconds I believe um to perch diagonally versus perching from the uh North South towers by circling this way and coming in instead going for the diagonal it’s just going to save him a couple of seconds if he gets really lucky obviously there’s a much higher chance

That this Dragon just picks a new node and starts circling around here for example um but just the attempt of this play I think is just a testament to how good Dugal is as a runner just able to find these opportunities and um try and exploit them to the best of his abilities

Obviously there was a few mistakes you know you can nitpick out 4 seconds from anywhere in this run like you can find tons and tons of spots that he could have saved 4 seconds in but equally had he have made those decisions he may have lost 4 seconds elsewhere

This run was so so clean that I don’t think anyone could nitpick this on being ah he should have done this to make this better the only thing I would say is obviously had he have known that this would have been a 730 I don’t think he

Cares for second place this guy doesn’t this guy does not care for getting second I know that dug wants the world record back and I know that he can get it um obviously once he does finish off this zero cycle the time does finish it

Is very close to the world record but it doesn’t quite make it is a 7 minutes and 30 seconds run so just I think around about 4 seconds off the world record I think the world record after retime was 726 um you know with the extra couple of

Seconds it’s a crazy run um someone’s going to beat this world record way sooner than I thought I thought this world record would last for like 6 months it looks like it might not even last until the end of the year at this rate there’s been changes in the top

Five more in this last week than there has I think for the previous like six months so insanely impressive ever since the uh speckers get the record live with g& everyone’s been starting running again absolutely love to see it I’m so glad and grateful to see a bunch of

People resetting Minecraft again and I’m really hoping to like bring light to this in any kind of way that I can I’m definitely going to be doing more of these kind of analysis of runs uh I’m not the best I’m definitely not trying to say that uh I’m like some sort of

World record Contender but I love bringing light to some of these amazing runs that people may not know about if you’ve got any more ideas for runs uh that I should review or like look back over then uh drop a comment if you don’t mind subscribing to this channel I’m

Going to try and be uploading on here as much as I can it’s going to be more of this kind of one take lower editing stuff but I’m really enjoying this sort of stuff I think that this is something that I want to do more so dropping a subscription to this channel would

Really help me um even if you don’t decide to watch anymore dropping a subscription would really really help all right I think that’s it if you haven’t already watch the main Channel video it’ll be linked on the end screen and I will see you very soon bye
