Last time they put the gray wool from the Alchemical Stronghold on the monument and walked straight into the next level, Losing Your Marbles, which they think holds the light gray wool. It's all white quartz, lava and lit-up pillars. This episode picks up right where that one left off, with an enderman in the background and a creeper in their faces. The death counter reads Basket 47, Scoti 39.
Run like the wind
The helmet situation is already a mess. One of them has a plain gold helmet, and the other option is a pumpkin head that blurs the whole screen. "I can't see with it on."
The room is wide open, and mobs keep pouring in from above. Within a couple of minutes one of them is down to a single heart and the advice is simple: "Run like the wind." The mobs drop boots and bows when they die, but the bows are mostly Power I. "I'm not impressed."
The bigger lesson comes a few minutes later. A spawner sits up in one of the pillars, and getting close to that pillar is what sets the enemies off. Just before the seven minute mark the chat reads "Scoti_Garbidis was shot by Marble Archer," and the counter goes to 40.
A chest full of everything
Scoti's gear is lying in a heap, and Scoti's inventory is already full of what gets called junk. So Scoti builds a double chest right there out of the wood they brought and dumps it all in. Out of the pile comes the Huntsman's bow. "That's mine. My precious."
There's an anvil, a helmet, extra pants, and a lot of bows, Power I and Power II. They grab quartz and some odd stone slabs that turn out to be two slabs stacked into one block. Then they spot a broken bridge leading to a platform with a couple of spawners and a chest with a sign on it. They decide to take those spawners down and rebuild the bridge. "They're gonna learn you don't mess with BasketMC."
Thorns and jump boost
The warriors don't care about the bridge. They have jump boost and clear the railings without trying. Arrows don't help much either, because their armor seems to have thorns on it, and shooting them hurts the shooter. One of them builds a big wall, and the warriors just jump around it.
At about 17:30 the chat reads "Scoti_Garbidis was slain by Marble Warrior." The counter hits 41, and the death chest is "a little weak." Worse, Scoti thinks the Huntsman's bow dropped into the lava and gives it about a 20 to 30 percent chance of turning up again.
Glowstone and blazes
The new plan is light. Jump down, throw glowstone everywhere, and cut down the spawning. Then the blazes show up. Neither of them has a water bucket. They agree the spawners over the lava aren't worth saving and start breaking them, which is hard when you're "one block away from being able to reach" the things.
One of them runs out of blocks and patches in wood, and the result is described as "this abomination that I built." They figure out the slab trick too: place the stacked stone slabs, break them, and you get real slabs back.
Near the end, while on fire, Scoti goes down again. The chat reads "slain by Marble Warrior," and the counter reads 42. "The good news is, guys, we're gonna win. The bad news is, it isn't today." Eventually the area goes quiet and the spawning seems to stop.
Mad Hops
Back on the platform, a sign for Boots of Lightness sits on a chest, and the tooltip says Feather Falling IV and Projectile Protection I. Another chest holds Mad Hops: a Jump Boost potion with Speed for three minutes, "now without fall damage!"
They know exactly what that's for. Out over the lava there are little floating pads. "Over lava, hop on pads, using Jump Boost. Yeah, this is terrible." They leave the potions where they are for when they come back. With the Huntsman's bow lost, there's talk of grinding for better gear and turning their iron into armor. The counter ends at Basket 47, Scoti 42.
