Hypercharged Part 1: Uncharted Territory 3 Episode 45

  • Published on

Last time they finished Losing Your Marbles and walked out with the light gray wool. Scoti opens this one by announcing it's Basket's turn to put the wool on, and a few seconds later it's on the Traveller's Respite monument. The next empty spot along the wall is labeled Cyan Wool. They drop off what Scoti calls the stuff "the people in the last level gave us" and head back to the quartz hub room. The death counter reads Basket 47, Scoti 42.

A tribute to Supercharged

Right inside Hypercharged there's a chest under a sign that says Ethonian Supply Chest MkII. It's packed with TNT, redstone torches, ladders, fireworks, ender pearls and boats. "Whoa, don't touch that." They leave it for later.

A long sign down the hall explains the level. Players of the first Uncharted Territory may remember an area called Supercharged, the map maker writes, and this is a tribute to it: "Let's turn it up a notch." One of them admits to never seeing Supercharged except in an old Etho video.

The next room is a dark drop with ghasts down below and creepers falling from above. Brightness is already maxed, and turning off a desk lamp helps "a little bit."

A creeper level made of obsidian

A chest by the door is full of blast protection gear, which makes sense once the creepers start pouring in. "This whole thing, this is a creeper level, and it's all obsidian so that you can't dig through it." Knockback keeps them at a distance, and one of them blocks off the stairs so they stop coming up from below. "Hypercharged? More like sissy charged."

Then they find a chest that isn't trapped. Inside is an iron sword with Sharpness III, a golden apple and more TNT. The TNT has a job. A wall nearby looks like it's meant to be blown open, so they light it and watch.

Creeper MC

The room behind the wall drops creepers from platforms overhead. They pillar up into a chandelier and find a creeper spawner and a chest full of gunpowder, creeper spawn eggs, and a Creeper Head with Blast Protection III and Fire Protection I. "What if it's a trap?" It isn't, and Basket puts it on. "It's Creeper MC."

A water bucket gets them back down. Soon after, a charged creeper goes off close by. "Oh, hypercharged! Get out of there lickety-split." The creepers also seem to blow up their own spawners, which saves some work, and one of them notes that "if I ever needed to farm obsidian, this is the way to go." One blast takes a chest with it. "I ruined everything."

Breach

The next wall gets the full treatment: "Breach!" It's a call one of them picked up from an Etho and VintageBeef series where they blew up everything with TNT. The blast opens into a pitch-dark area. A chest there holds a Potion of Resistance that also gives Slowness for two minutes. "That's garbage."

Then the name tags show up: hypercharged creeper. These ones move so fast that one of them asks whether the server is lagging. It isn't. "He literally zooms right up on you." Boots take a beating even with Unbreaking III, and the room turns into "death from all sides" with obsidian overhead.

They box themselves in, and a sword gets close to breaking. A bridge goes nowhere and a blast goes off early. Finally they reach a tiny hallway plugged with glowstone and decide to stop. Nobody died this time. The counter ends at Basket 47, Scoti 42.
