After the rage quit last time, they're back at Vhisarion's arena with rebuilt gear. "Today the dragon dies." The counter opens at Scoti 120, Basket 91.

A wall that wasn't

The plan is ambitious. "We're gonna use golems and magic and all kinds of things." Up on the middle platform, the idea is to wall off the edge so the mobs can't climb up, then put a fence inside it for iron golems to walk around. The two of them aren't picturing the same thing, though, and there's a bigger problem. "We ain't got the blocks for that." Sandstone is "not safe," so quartz goes down instead.

It doesn't last. "Something's destroying. He must be destroying the quartz." The safe spots they'd been hiding in also turn out to sit below the level of the platform. "New plan! Run away!"

Plan B

Back on the ground, plan B is water buckets on the lava, iron golems on the floor, and some cover for the craters. The middle platform has one upside: the mobs can't reach it from the ground, and getting up is already a parkour hop. "We can just remember which side is the actual hoppy puzzle." Once the dragon heals up, one of them puts words in its mouth: "You guys just stay back for a while. These guys are not good at Minecraft."

Elder Warlocks, again

Then chat speaks up. "An Elder Warlock has spawned." "I'm here to serve you, my master!" The bows come out, and the Elder Warlocks soak up a lot of arrows. "He's very durable." In the middle of it, chat reads "Scoti_Garbidis has just earned the achievement [Sniper Duel]." At one point there are three Elder Warlocks up at once.

Withered

Basket's turn comes next. "BasketMC withered away." "Luckily I died right here," so most of the gear is close by. The bow isn't so lucky. "I don't see my bow. Okay, so I won't have Infinity." The water bucket is missing too, so a new one gets made from iron.

An empty hotbar at the respawn room next to the base chests, with chat reading "BasketMC withered away" and the death counter at Scoti_Garbidis 120, BasketMC 92

The first iron golem doesn't last. "I made one golem, I think he died."

Golems on fire

The golems keep going down for the same reason. "They're burning up, because all the guys have like fire damage." Water goes down on the lava around them, and the whole setup "actually worked out pretty well." There's even talk of using glowstone instead of torches.

All the Elder Warlocks go down, and the dragon finally takes some damage. One of them grabs strength from a shrine, calls for "AOE for the win," and lands an arrow. "Shot him once. I'm amazing." The bad news comes a moment later: "He's at full health again."

This episode's deaths: Basket 1, Scoti 0. The counter ends at Scoti 120, Basket 92. Vhisarion is still alive. The monument isn't shown, so the totals carry over: 14 of 16 crystals and 10 of 12 emerald blocks.
