Nature Found a Way: Minimalist Episode 21

  • Published on

Episode 21 of Minimalist sends Team B.S. into a new dungeon on Kaladun's complete the monument map: a set of pale rooms like a house, with doors, carpets and cobwebs, packed with spawners. Scoti_Garbidis loses two lives in one rush of zombies, but the pair come out the other side with the brown wool, a pair of enchanted greaves and an Unbreaking book.

Potions and spawners

It starts at the base with potions. Basket's screen shows Jump Boost II, Fire Resistance and a splash potion of swiftness. The idea on the recording is to jump over the mobs. Then they go in, and right away they split up. "I think we both went different directions. That's okay."

The rooms are full of endermen, poisonous spiders and mobs with nameplates like "Young Nerd," which carry books. On the recording: "those books will set you on fire." The spawners come out one at a time. "These are all enderman spawners, actually." One chest holds splash potions of healing, and the mobs keep dropping or throwing potions of their own. Water goes down at the end of a hallway, and potions of strength wait nearby "if you want to potion up."

Two lives in a minute

"What does that sign say?" "Oh, we have to ender pearl." Pearls come out of a chest. Past it, things go wrong fast. Chat reads "Scoti_Garbidis burned to death," and less than a minute later "Scoti_Garbidis was slain by Zombie." The Deaths board takes Scoti_Garbidis from 15 to 17. "Can you get my gear?" "I'm gonna try. I gotta try and fortify things first." Zombies keep coming. "I've got a gold apple and a lava bucket. I think I'm gonna take that with me." Then a zombie knocks one of them off a bridge.

The cave room

Next is a big cave room of sandstone and gravel with lime glass and waterfalls. They bridge across it, keeping to the wall because skeletons are still shooting. A jockey spawner in a corner gets broken, and a chest gives up what the commentary calls "diamond pants." On screen they are Czarium Greaves with Protection III, Fire Protection III and Unbreaking III.

The spawner for the book mobs is in another corner, and there is talk of keeping it. Then something happens. "What did you do?" "Nothing. It wasn't me. It was nature." Later: "It was a Jurassic Park reference."

Brown wool

"All right, there's the wool. We have to go down there." A chest holds two brown blocks, and one goes into Basket's inventory. "Brown wool." "Oh, I've got one too, I guess, just in case." One of the dropped books turns out to be Unbreaking.

Where it ends

The way back runs through the rooms again, past a creeper, zombies and skeletons. "I'm retreating. I made it." A bow got left somewhere, maybe "back in the chest." At the base: "Should we put this stuff in the thing?" "We'll do it next time." The brown wool is not on the monument yet, and the Deaths board ends at Scoti_Garbidis 17, BasketMC 13.
