My son (11) and I just started playing a few weeks ago and we ran into an ancient city the other day. We were terrified from videos we have seen about the Warden. We dont have fancy gear but we have fun trying to survive it. This is going to help immensely! I cant wait to show him. Glad I found your channel we definitely will be using them. Thank you for this. Obviously subscribing to your channel. Wow!! I just came back to this and I’m amazed at all the comments!! To update you all. We still going strong. Have changed our home base about 3 times hahahaha. Had to learn about how us dying and we picked up our beds is a bad thing. Oh we also saved our first village from a raid! That was rough. Found a video on an automatic farm and we built that as well. So many other things happened. Thank you for all the love! Showed my son and we both were shocked! Thanks

For a building material to use in the deep dark, I'd personally recommend yellow wool. It stands out HARD against the other blacks, greys and blues of the ancient city, letting you know where you've been and where the exit is even on the other side of the ancient city, so you won't lose the exit. Plus you can walk on yellow wool and carpet without triggering sensors, so it stands out and keeps you safe. Yellow wool is also cheap, a large pen of sheep dyed yellow and a pair of shears and you're done.

Very good idea thanks bro

I have so much fun building devices to annoy the Warden. My favourite is using red stone to make a bell ring over and over. Never thought of using its own Sculk sensors against it with a trapdoor before. Next time I'm in an Ancient City I'll be trying that one.

I got to my first ancient city the other day without looking into it, and BOY was I terrified. It’s good to go into something blind like this cause my heart was racing the whole time. I’d say mojang did a great job on this! Best experience I’ve had in it in such a long time

I just went into my first ancient city today, completely blind on what I should do to disarm anything, or what to do if a warden shows up. I kinda just stumbled upon it too, by following a cave. I accidentally spawned one warden, and I couldn’t find him because I didn’t have any night vision positions on me. I tried sneaking up a staircase of wool I made because I knew wool helped with sound, he followed behind me and sniffed right on top of me. I had a full on panic attack I used my water bucket to slow him down, I put on my elytra and started flying blind in a cave without echo location. I was chased out of the ancient city by Idk how many wardens. There was so many sounds roars and screeching my heart was pounding so fucking bad because I had a lot of loot on me. I survived, though I might’ve crawled into the corner of my room into the fetal position once the heartbeats ingame stopped jumping my brain.

TNT placed in a wool 'box' works very well for situations where sensors and shriekers are too close to disarm, TNT also works great for harvesting XP in the deep dark.

I’m sure it’s been said before but the music as you first get to Deep Dark is haunting! Totally sets the mood of ‘be careful or you’re screwed’

What me and my brother always do is bridge along the roof of the ancient city all the way up to the portal, then we dig up and make a room with chests, beds, and sometimes a nether portal. Then we stuff everything we have into a chest besides some building blocks and turn up our gamma and run around destroying shriekers and collecting loot. Whenever we find something valuable we go back up to our safe room via stairs and store it away

Wow this is gorgeous. I love minecraft. 10 years later it’s still mind blowing.

"What do you do if a Warden summons in?" Clearly you summon another one and control it with your magic staff then get them to fight each other

I can't express how good your videos are. Me and my brother play Minecraft together all the time and your videos have helped so much . And you are so underrated you deserve so much more recognition

I love that the warden gets distracted like an excited toddler when you make a trapdoor machine

What a nice video. I usually never finish long videos but this one, with all the explanations, the differents parts and your calm voice is really good. Continue like this

When it comes to loot, i'd say you completely neglect the sculk itself. You can mine it rapidly with enchanted hoes you find in local loot chests, gives enormous amount of XP and also uncovers ores beneath it, which is significant since diamonds generate with reduced air exposure. Edit: just found out you explain that in another video. Still, worth mentioning here as well.

Hey Eyecraft, I've been really improving with your videos. But one thingI'dd love to see from you is a redstone comparator in-depth video. I really struggle with it, and really, other videos haven't gone that deep. especially with uses for like farms, etc. Cheers

@8:20 just a side note, I found an Ancient City with a Zombie Spawner directly above it. The bottom of the spawner was open to the city, so Zombies were able to spawn in the location just under the spawner. Just something people should be aware of. though the Biome "Ancient City" won't spawn anything other than the Warden, the area outside of the city, and is NOT Deep Dark, can spawn monsters, so sometimes monsters will wander in. Mining outside of the city can increase the chance of getting monsters in the city.

How to fight a warden: Step 1: run away

Essentially the primary name of the game is what is effectively disabling the alarm systems of the city. Ypu have to be REALLY careful to check everywhere inside *and* outside the structure you're trying to loot, because if not sensors could trigger shriekers outside of the structure you're in. I kinda learned this the hard way as I had looted the majority of the city without much of a hitch, only for me to place a torch and accidentally trigger a shrieker that I hadn't seen and spawning the warden. I died shortly after. I managed to get all my stuff back, but yeah, you can't take *any* chances with this place.

I can't tell you how many times I've had a shrieker that was hidden in a wall about 2 blocks in and I could not do anything around it without destroying it. So I used tnt

Ancient Cities are my new early game target. As soon as I have iron tools, in fact. The Swift Sneak and mending items are too useful to ignore, so Elytra's and Night Vision is out of the question for me. So it's torches all the way, lol. For me, pockets of lava are still the most dangerous thing in Ancient Cities. Wardens spawning there are pretty easy to avoid as shown in the video. Where Wardens are a big problem is in the Deep Dark caves. I have mistakenly run into small dead end caves with the Warden chasing me many times due to the Darkness effect and have been killed because even an Efficiency V diamond pickaxe will not allow for blind panic digging 20 blocks away through Deepslate in time to avoid two Sonic attacks. It's less of a problem once you get Swift Sneak III since you can sneak away faster than the Warden walks, but because you usually have to search those caves to find an Ancient City to get Swift Sneak it's a bit of a catch 22 (short of waiting until late game to do it). There's currently a bug in Java Edition (MC-255639) where camp sites are currently generating incorrectly. It's unfortunate because worlds with these incorrect versions cannot be fixed short of the player fixing them themselves or restarting the world when the bug finally does get fixed.

@paperyape

Жыл бұрын

You can actually sneak faster than the Warden can walk even without utilizing Swift Sneak. To get away from Wardens, just sneak in the opposite direction; as long as you have a suitably long path that you can go along and you continue sneaking at a constant rate without stopping, you will escape from Wardens 100% of the time.

@@paperyape His sniffing ability makes him hard to shake with the default sneak when in caves, however. After doing some testing, the darkness effect was causing me to bump into blocks and slow me down. Even more surprising was realizing Deep Dark caves are not a contiguous biome like Ancient Cities, so you get mobs spawning in various places and they track you and catch up. Then the Warden tracks them and next thing you know he's running right towards you again, lol.

@@Xizyx If you’re having trouble seeing with the Darkness effect, try turning the Darkness Pulsing slider all the way down to 0. It makes it considerably easier to see whilst having the effect and you won’t keep bumping into blocks anymore. As for the mobs, yeah they can be annoying since they’re attacking you and you can’t attack them back (since doing so would alert the Warden), but they should probably provide an ample distraction too. If you’re ever sneaking away with a Warden sniffing you out and a few mobs attacking you, just tank the mobs if possible, and soon enough the Warden will get distracted by them and leave you alone. If it’s a melee mob, though, it will be a bit trickier, you could keep an ender pearl to use in such a scenario. Sadly the mob spawning thing is only a big issue on Bedrock edition, and idk if it’s going to be fixed soon.

That's one item I keep forgetting to bring during my explorations, and the ability to distract was one of the major features showcased about that mob.

nothing scarier than forgetting to enable mob audio after disabling it for a gold farm, then raiding an ancient city and having half my health instantly taken away from the warden's ranged attack

This is actualy a great way of looting. I always flew around with an elytra break the chest and flew to the next. Spawned like 8 wardons per city but it worked (most of the time)

I'd like to note that when you said the only danger in the shriekers, that is not technically correct. Mobs from outside the biome can make there way in near the edges or from above you. I have had Skeletons, Zombies and Creepers suddenly appear before, from an overhang or water column. Another danger is Lava from either above dropping down or pools below, so watching where you step is also important.

I have finally amassed enough end crystals (in fact, i have gotten over 4 double chest worth of end crystals) to take on the warden. Using downgrading technique I have around 4 shulker boxes worth of enchanted golden apple. Raid farm gave me endless supply of totem of undying. Now it is time to raid the ancienty city.

On my world I found this along with an abandoned minshaft with it and I have never raided one and It was pretty scary.. let's just say, thank god for keep inventory
