    I was really hoping they would make an ancient city locator map like the Woodland mansion and ocean monument maps you can get from cartographer.
    If the cartographer knows of and where the ocean monument is, I see no reason why he wouldn't know where the ancient city is.

    A few things have changed as of now (1.19.3), thought it'd be helpful to drop that info here:
    - The breaking wool tactic to distract sensors doesn't work anymore, because a dropping wool block doesn't trigger vibrations
    - The "strikes" for shrieker triggers don't reset after death
    Another important thing, the shrieker triggers are global so if you trigger a shrieker twice and your friend triggers it twice, a warden will spawn (it's not an independent count per player)

      Sensors react to any sound, including nonplayer ofc so the "break wool to cover up breaking a shrieker" works if say, there's a bat flying around and tripping the sensors (not uncommon in ancient cities)
      There are also other things like touching water while crouching still sets off sensors, etc just small things to watch for
      I also made a small error in my originak comment. The shrieker will add 1 tally to any player *within range of its shriek*, not just the one who triggered it. So if you raid a city with friends, anyone who gets darknessed after the shriek has 1 added to their tally. A warden will spawn as soon as anyone hits 4

    I absolutely love the Deep Dark as a concept, seeing as it still fits into minecraft's "just break the dungeon walls down" approach while naturally keeping you from just rushing through and ignoring the traps willy-nilly. I do wish there was a biiit more loot, maybe some more uses for Echo shards and sculk items as a whole (crafting Enderpearls maybe?), but I'll definitely try to make a base in or near one, maybe a research station of some kind.

    A cool thing I figured out is that me and my buddy raided a city and you can actually synchronize and remove 2 sculk shriekers at once if you have good communication and timing. If there are 2 shriekers and way too many sculk sensors, each one of you pick a shrieker and a tool that breaks at the same speed and have a countdown and break them at the same time. We actually found this really fun and rewarding and tense.

    The thing about the warden is that despite being blind, he's pretty omnipotent. If you have 200 snow golems and 1 player throwing snowballs at him, he will prioritize the player over the snow golems.
    The Sonic Shriek looks like a projectile attack, but it isn't. If something is in-between the warden and its target, then its fine, even though it should be just as dead as the target. Given that the sonic blast also never misses (for a blind mob, he's quite the sharpshooter), it's less like a projectile attack and more like a /kill command the warden gets to use.
    Not that I'm complaining, I have been asking for more difficulty in this game. It's just design-wise, there are some logic holes.

      That actually brings up a good point. I feel like if there's a mob in between the Warden and the player when it uses Sonic Shriek, the mob should also be damaged. It shouldn't block the damage of the player, but it should _take_ damage. Kinda like a cone of damage effect rather than just damaging the target.

The important thing is to activate the tnt with redstone or dispense it rather than with flint and steel, as the latter will count as a player action whereas the former does create a vibration when the tnt lands but it is not counted as player action. Placing blocks and activating most redstone mechanisms, of course, all counts as player actions. Just place the tnt & activation mechanism at least 9 blocks above any sensors; remember that the sound comes from where the blocks are placed and activated rather than where you place/activate them from.

    You need lots of pearls, and a clear path to throw them which is hard if the warden gives you darkness effect, just try to pearl out of the darkness range and sneak away. If you run he will catch you if there is no water to get him stuck on. In addition to him being able to bust out in a sprint, he does this while your screen is pitch black and your getting caught up on all the unfamiliar structures in the dark. He killed me once by sniffing me out like 6 blocks above him and I jumped out of the way of his ranged attack but was intercepted actually cut off by him running full jumpsprint away and killed. Second time he got me I was backing up from his spawn in the dark and I didn't realize I was caught up on something so I jumped while sneaking hoping it was just a block but I happened to hop down directly in front of his face and when I Pearled away It landed on some edge the next isle over and he ran me down and got me. The warden is no joke. If you can't immediately leave his facility when he spawns the darkness effect ruins everything :o

    Hiding skulk sensers inside skulk blocks is honestly kinda dirty. Ideally, triggering a senser should absolutely be the result of the player screwing up. But, with that particular attribute, you can awaken a warden through no fault of your own.

    I used bridging above the city, out of reach of the sensors to hear me and made a grid up there. This way I can survey the city from above (night vision helps greatly), and plan my drop downs for loot and shrieker disablement. It also helps me get a feel for the layout of the city, and the overhead grid serves to orientate myself when I drop down. If the warden comes in and I can get out of range (run or pearl) and can get back above I can observe him from afar and get a better feel for how it works.

    I’ve found that even though it seems counter intuitive, run. As soon as you hear the fourth shriek run because the warden's animation takes a while to end and you can mostly outrun the warden anyway. If you follow the running technique then you can get far enough away and you can either wait for him to despawn or go someone were the warden isn't.

    When the Warden is spawning, he is deaf and you can run away easily while he comes out of the ground.

Then, you can easily wait and watch the Warden until he decides to go away and return in the ground. That's my tactic to escape the Warden's fists and laser.

    I just want to share this piece of information. So, me and my friend yesterday went to go raid an ancient city and we got to a point where there were several shriekers and sensors. We regrouped and found that we had some TNT. We decided to blow up the shriekers, but we had to pretty much sky bridge around the city (we had end-game loot). Now if you want to do this strategy, there is one crucial piece of advice that we learned the hard way. DO NOT LIGHT IT WITH A FLINT AND STEEL! You have to light it with a button, a pressure plate, or a lever. If you use a flint and steel, fire charge, or flame bow, it counts as a player action. Meaning, if you didn’t blow all the shriekers at the same time, the shriekers get angry.
    Also, if you sleep, you get your chances back. I think. Or something like that.

    Big thing here for trying to break shriekers, make absolutely SURE there's no others around, they can spawn in the floor with exposed tops, on top of roofs, behind and inside walls, on ledges etc, and if you set one off you can't see/seen, oh boy good luck. I'd also recommend bringing ender pearls as a last ditch escape but it's a big risk

  • @Eaglewing747
    @Eaglewing747 Před 2 lety +6

    I tested with the deep dark for a couple hours, i found some strategies I found really helpful:
    if you spawn the Warden, get as far as possible without it knowing, once you get far enough, it will despawn and will no longer be a threat as long as you don't activate another shrieker.
    If the Warden is running after you and you can't shake it off, try to build up to 10-15 blocks high and attempt to make it go away, if it doesn't then expect to die, after you respawn then wait a short time, it will despawn and you can find your stuff by looking for the tower you built before it killed you.
    Use more vibrant colored wool that doesn't generate in the cities like white, lime, red, or magenta, that way it won't be as easy to get lost.
    And this is personal preference; I found it better to use a lower level of Swift Sneak, to where it's slower but not deathly slow. Level 3 was really disorienting and made exploring the city a lot more confusing for me because of how fast it was when trying to be stealthy.

    The best Warden tactic is to run when you hear one spawning. You're actually safe while the Warden digs itself out of the ground. If you know where most of the shriekers are in your Ancient City, you should be safe running. Also, try to find a wool path so you can run away without setting off shriekers.

    I really think the Warden should drop more than a single Sculk Catalyst. I get it that Mojang doesn’t want you to kill it, but me and my friend killed it 5+ times, and the only thing we got was nearly broken armor. Most enemies that the Devs intend to be ‘unkillable’ still give you at the very least a trophy item.

      So why did you kill it 5 times if you knew you wouldn't get anything out of it? killing it once makes sense, just so you can get the sense of accomplishment but 5?

      i headcannon that since the warden is a security mechanism for the sculk. it drops a catalyst in hopes of continuing on in another place

    Hooking up a Redstone clock tp a door distracts the warden entirely unless you hit it

      No because the Warden can still smell the player. And will prioritize that over sounds

      @@temi19 you do have to be within 20 blocks horizontally of him, so you can get away pretty easily

    just finished going through an ancient city on my world, if theres one thing i can recommend is that having totems on you can be a massive help, say you hear the sonic attack charge, and dont have enough time to get away, thats where totems come in, just switch to the totem in you inventory and that will give you a small time gap to escape, this vid was super helpful, i was able to halfway clear out an entire city get the, get the loot, break the shriekers and sensors, and i was actually able to kill the warden in the end, also aquired a notch apple

    This is going to be useful. I have plans of raiding an ancient city pretty soon, and hopefully restoring it to its former glory.
    Also, thanks for the tip about wool shrieker strategies. While exploring in creative world's, I thought of how to evade them, but could not figure it out.
    Also also, 3-3 God apples in 2 adjacent chests in the alter section: ARE YOU SERIOUS!?
