Scorched Underpass Part 2: Uncharted Territory 3 Episode 22

  • Published on

The light blue wool comes out of Scorched Underpass in this one, and it comes out fast. Nobody dies. The death counter reads Basket 38, Scoti 23 at the start and still reads that at the end. It opens with a sore point left over from last time: both blaze spawners got destroyed. "Don't even give me a hard time about that."

Like Christmas

First they open the chests they found, one at a time, on a count of three. "Like Christmas." Out come arrows, coal, an ender pearl, torches, a golden apple, a knockback sword and an Unbreaking sword. Blaze rods make torches too, which means "a lot less tree farming." One chest has Diamond Boots, and they hold on to those to enchant later. "Hey, at least we know it's not trapped."

The armor gets split up. One of them lost their boots somewhere and takes chain mail ones. A pair of Golden Leggings with Fire Protection III gets handed across, since "they're all fire guys" down here.

The fastest fleecy box ever

Scorched Underpass is dark, full of spiders, blazes, fire and a couple of Endermen. One of them is the designated Enderman looker: "You're a good Enderman looker." Then they spot it. "This is the fastest fleecy box ever. Maybe it's a trap."

The plan to clear the way doesn't last. "I'm just gonna run in there." "That's a terrible idea." A moment later: "I'm in the fleecy box." Mobs keep spawning around it, so it's grab and go. Nine wool get left behind. "There's a whole army coming at me too." Afterward the runner owns it: "There's a difference between bravery and stupidity, and I definitely didn't pull the bravery card."

Light blue on the monument

The fleecy box turns out to be right next to their base, so they run the wool straight to the Wool Monument in Traveller's Respite. Each one tells the other to place it. Basket's screen shows the block going in: "Light blue! Boom!" "You beat me to it." That's four now, next to the white, orange and magenta.

They sort the loot into chests, swap in dyed leather boots with Blast Protection II and Fire Protection II, and walk past the spawners for Speed and Regeneration. Basket's level reads 87. The other has 32. "I'm winning."

More caves, and a lot of coal

Back in, they want the flint and gravel now, since it can be traded. Creepers keep coming out of the dark. There's so much coal in one spot that "this smells like a trap." They break a silverfish spawner and find a chest with a strange potion: Instant Health IV, but with Hunger, Resistance and Slowness on it too. "It's an emergency healing potion but you can't move." A Fortune and Efficiency pick goes into a box, since they have better.

No loot in the waterfalls

Past a giant lava waterfall there's a hallway with signs. "Uncharted Territory 3 features 100% more vines!" "I'll save you some time. No loot in the waterfalls!" "Seems like he's trolling us." There's a one-way sign to Traveller's Respite, and a block with another note: "Because I haven't given you enough yet."

Behind it is a chest, and opening it poisons Basket. "No, don't die, Basket!" It's nine seconds of poison. Inside: a potion of poison and more vines. The next chest is friendlier, with a bed, steak, wood, a compass, gunpowder, soul sand and an ender chest, plus the way back to base.

They try to sign off, and someone breaks the one-way exit instead of pressing its button. "There's a button!" It goes back in, the recording keeps rolling, and they decide to just start the next episode.
