They come in with a fresh supply. "We made a bunch of potions in the in-between time." The death counter reads 48 for Basket and 48 for Scoti, dead even, as they walk into Death from Above.

You can see the box from the door

"It's just a trap right from the start. What is this?" Past the entrance there's lava, spider webs and, already in view, the fleecy box. "When you can see the fleecy box when you start, you know it's gonna be hard." A zombie walks straight through the lava to get at them. A sign reads, "You're almost there, but it gets tougher from here," and there are already a lot of anvils lying around.

The first chest explains the theme. It's full of diamond helmets, each one Unbreaking V. Basket swaps out an enchanted iron helmet and puts one on.

Spawners in the walls

Mobs keep appearing right over their heads, and one of them guesses the spawners are hidden in the walls. They're stuck with it. "We'll have to just deal with guys spawning." Meanwhile the anvils keep piling up. One of them figures out the trick for building next to an anvil: hold shift while placing the block. They plan a path with a roof over it.

Then a surprise in the middle of the fighting. A villager in a green robe, named Azarian Hero, is wandering around in here. "This is the good guy that we couldn't find. He got lost in here." From what they say, it wants gems and gold and gives cool stuff in return.

Up through the glass

The fleecy box sits up high, with little ledges jutting out at its corners. The plan is to get under those ledges and pillar up. It doesn't go smoothly. There are ghasts up top, which one of them had noticed and then forgot, and ladders are no good because the ghasts blow them away. The better idea is to climb where the glass is, since the ghasts can't see them through it. On the way, an anvil lands on one of the mobs and kills it, and they miss it.

They make it in. A sign is waiting inside.

Brown wool

The chest is full of brown wool. "Ooh, brown wool to match my pants." Basket takes three, and the ladders get dumped since they "didn't really do any good." There's talk of a cave nearby and maybe some "secret-y stuff" on top of the box.

Getting out is a one-shot ender pearl over to the cave, and they worry the whole time that a ghast will blow a hole in the fleecy box. One of them pearls across and hits a ghast on the way.

The way down gets worse

The cave isn't empty. Blazes spawn on its back wall and set them on fire, so it's fire resistance potions all around. They also throw speed and strength on themselves. "This is a lot bigger than I thought it was going to be." There's coal everywhere, a spawner in the roof, spiders with strength, more blazes, and ghasts in the ceiling. They dig another "Scoti hole" and push on past magma cream, gold and TNT.

Someone spots stairs and a bed up ahead. "Just keep going up." Then there's an explosion. The death screen says "BasketMC was blown up by Magma Cube," and the counter ends at Basket 49, Scoti 48.
