The Hidden One: Ragecraft 3 Episode 36

  • Published on

"Hey guys, I got my gear back." The episode opens with a gear recovery in Grandmaster Xin's jungle, and the counter reads Scoti 26, Basket 16. There's a bow on the ground, creepers to deal with, and a music disc lying in the mess. "I'm pretty sure it's the creepy one." A creeper spawner nearby hasn't been doing anything, and nobody knows why. They swap swords around, including the Samurai's Blade from a couple of episodes back, and head on.

Hong-Jin, the hidden one

A wall of signs lays out the next target. "Hong-Jin's gang of brutal swordmasters and assassins is well known in this part of the world. Hong-Jin himself, however, is a very private individual. Those who get to see his face don't live to tell the tale." The signs end by asking whether you're sure you want to find him. "It's our duty to kick his booty."

The swordmaster arena

Past the signs is a cave full of fenced pens, with a spawner on each side, which to them says "we're gonna get trapped in here." Swordmasters and creepers pour out, and something in the room throws splash potions of harming. Both of them get beaten up badly and fall back to the start to heal and sort their inventories.

The second try goes better. One of them finds that if you jump up on top of the spawners, "for the most part nothing could touch you," so they hop around lighting the place up and breaking spawners. From in there they can see an emerald at the back and a legendary item on the left. One of them grabs the emerald with five hearts left, "I think it's enough," and it goes into a chest. "We are a machine today."

Poison pillars

The pillars in the room turn out to carry poison and weakness, and the harming-potion thing keeps hitting anyone in range. Low on health and short on armor, they take turns running back to the start. Scoti dies in this stretch, and the counter goes to 27.

The legendary item is a piece of Xin's Armor Set: Protection II, unbreakable, and +10% max health on its own. The more pieces you wear, the more buffs you get, up to Speed I, Jump Boost IV and Resistance I with all four. They agree to put it in the chest and save it until they can put the set together.

The wrong hole

Downstairs there are holes all over the floor, and they figure stuff from up above will drop into them. A sign down there settles one of them: "Nope, wrong hole." They throw blocks in to cover it. They hold off on the strength splash potion, since this map won't let them make more. Then they decide the holes probably have loot in them and go in. "Get out, get out!" One of them hears a mob and expects the worst.

In the dark below, Scoti dies again, and the counter goes to 28. They talk about moving the bed up, someone still has gear to fetch, and they call it there. The episode ends at Scoti 28, Basket 16, with 3 of 16 crystals and 2 of 12 emerald blocks on the monument and one more emerald banked in the jungle chest.
