  • Published on

It opens with "Happy Father's Day." Last time they cleared the roof and the front of the bedrock fortress. Now the plan is to run in, torch everything, and hope there aren't "like 50 evokers" inside.

Into the fortress

First a supply check. One of them has 22 torches, which isn't enough, so there's coal and a search for wood. "This is the preparing to die moment." The gap to the front is too wide to hop, and there's already a zombie waiting on the other side.

Inside, one of them breaks the "evoker thing" right away. "Is there any reason we want evokers? I don't think so." Then comes a room of bedrock and iron bars with a chest on a diamond block in the middle. One of them is playing with new textures, gets called a cheater, and it turns out to be the wool. "Light gray? I guess it's light gray."

Two emeralds to go

Now they need the level's emeralds, and they think there are two. Before heading out, one of them asks the other about their potato situation. The answer is 49, so they split it.

The level is full of natural spawns, creepers and skeletons, and a lot of "dark death holes." "There's like no way these dark death holes aren't someplace we've been destined to go." One of them has a guess: the island in the middle with the bridge "you should never walk on," or the island off to the left next to one of the bad towers.

The first one is easy

They go down past the lava toward the middle. "Something tells me we gotta go in there." Then: "I see an emerald." It's right in the middle, so the island jump isn't needed. Someone was reading YouTube comments and says renderXR agreed one of them is much better now at finding emeralds, and at not losing them. They call this one number 23.

The second one is easier

The guesses for 24 go back and forth: the tower on the left, one of the side buildings, or inside the tower with the bad guys on it. Getting down to the bottom would mean dealing with the lava. Then one of them spots it. "There's a little island here with the emerald in it." "You deserve a raise." "I'm so good at Minecraft."

Two levels left

Back at the monument, the emeralds get thrown on the ground and picked up, and Basket's screen shows them going into the chest. It goes from 22 to 24, with three empty slots left in the last row. The light gray wool goes in too. "We only have two levels left." "Wow."

"Hey, we are still alive," one of them says, and for once that's true for the whole episode. The last plan is to take some glass from the monument for a window at home.
