"Welcome back everybody." That's as calm as it gets. Within a minute somebody is on fire, there's a ghast, and the advice is "duck and weave."

Clearing the tower

They start inside a stone tower full of melee ghost guys and skeletons that shoot weakness arrows. One of them takes out the spawner in the middle and puts torches down on the first floor, which they agree "was horrible." On Basket's screen a treasure chest turns up with a golden apple in it. At the very top there's no ceiling and nothing but coal to mine. Someone mentions having "the Totem of Undying or whatever," and they guess that's what this tower was for. The emerald must be somewhere else.

A creeper spawner is hiding right there anyway. "Okay, right in my face."

A building you can't cheat

The big building ahead sits in a lake of lava, with torch pillars all around it. It's made of bedrock. "That's what the bedrock's for, so you can't cheat. You have to go through the front." The wool is in there, so that's the plan, eventually.

First the roof. Up there they count a blaze spawner, a skeleton spawner, a creeper spawner on the edge, and ghast spawners. The creepers drop straight down on whoever is below. One of them wants the bow guys dead first, the other wants the roof done first, and that goes back and forth for a while. "I'm trying to get you to focus on the roof with all the bad guys."

Sniper duel

Most of the fighting is long range. The ghasts keep coming, someone keeps catching fire, and one of them loves the mining fatigue. "It's my favorite." Halfway through comes a check: did they die a bunch more? "Nope. A lot of close calls though."

The first ghast spawner goes down, then a second. "Sniper duel. Took out the second ghast spawner." Basket's screen confirms it: "BasketMC has completed the challenge [Sniper Duel]." The two ghast spawners turn out to be mirrored, one on each side.

The evokers

Then there are evokers. They can be heard nearby, which doesn't help. "Okay, so quit saying things about evokers please." From far enough away they don't seem to do anything, so they get shot from the bridge. "Dear evoker, please die. Thank you. P.S. I love you." Zombies keep walking around the long way, and a creeper sits right below the spot one of them wants to stand.

A viewer suggests making ladders. Good idea, except nobody has any wood.

Next time

The roof is mostly quiet now, and the new plan is to kill what's in front, run in, light the place up with torches, and run back out. There are two spawners right by the front door. "I can hardly tell what I'm shooting right now." They decide that's the end of the episode. "Next time we will murderize them."
