Ep. 32 The Nether Beckons Hello and welcome to another episode
of Sly-Jay versus Infernal Sky, super hostile map by Vechs.
and welcome to my new railway too when we left off last episode
I was just about to go into the Nether and I'm kinda thinking there's gonna be a
bunch of stuff there and I might be going back and forth a bunch
from base and spending a lot of time like I always do
and hopefully I won't die over there but just in case I do I'd like to be able to get
back and forth quickly and mostly, I just like minecarts, ok?
I think this is fun. This is like a rollercoaster. Hello, chicken!
and so I went to the trouble of building myself this little railway to get
to the nether portal and back from home base and my spawn point.
And I've gathered up the supplies that I like to have when going in the Nether
cobble and glass and extra wood and stuff like that
and I think I'm ready That chicken, by the way - somehow in the
course of my travels I'd gotten an egg from some of the chickens that are like loose
on this map now and accidentally while I was doing the railway
I accidentally placed the egg and sure enough, a chicken pops out! So he's
living down here in the Undersky probably forever
It's a strange place for a chicken, but there you go.
OK, I've got my flint and steel, and everything else that is important for going to the Nether,
and here we go! Probably the first thing I'll have to do immediately
is protect this portal. I like to have cobble just, you know, at the ready upon arrival
Uh ... or maybe not. I guess that's been done for me. Hey! OK wait a minute.
Why can't I hit this guy? This slime came through the portal with me and he's untouchable
over here He's like "I'm an Overworld creature and I
left my hit box on the Overworld!" I guess, I don't know.
Okay, now this would be really dumb if he makes me break my floor.
I'm just going to have to run away from him. This is dumb. I don't want him knocking me
off a bridge or something. A slime. Not my favorite mob.
Okay. I can hear ghasts already. So I am making railings. I don't care if it's overkill.
But with this slime probably gonna bump into me and - maybe I can push him off the edge?
Go on, go on, go on, go on. Oh this is the most annoying! What is up with
that? I should have hit him already! I mean, are you seeing this? Am I just going
crazy here? 'Cause I feel like I should have hit him like a million
times already and he's just - he's untouchable. He's the untouchable slime.
Okay. So, uh, let's get wherever it is we're going. It looks kinda ominous.
I think I'm looking at lava creeper faces which can't be signifying anything good.
Okay let's speed this up a little bit, get this done - ooh, annoying!
I can't help but keep trying to hit him again! This is - ah, okay. Finally!
Phew! What was that? Ah, now I see, this is another intersection.
Nice! Very nice! 'Cause that means that there's, like, at least
three more areas to explore down here. And I think I'm gonna do the same thing I've done
with the other intersections which is kinda make it into
a little house. My little base for down here.
I had thought that would be around the portal, but I don't know. I don't want to be locked
in a jail. That's all in bars. I want to make a nice
little house. I mean, partly just 'cause I like making
Minecraft houses, okay? That area. Whew. Oh, that's gonna be fun.
Okay. Well let's get this built because I can already see the ghasts are going to
try to thwart my efforts. Okay I've got a little bit of floor and roof
and yes, the ghasts are trying to thwart my efforts
Incoming! Ai!
Well okay, it's okay, I'll just put this out, and continue building
and be thankful for the obsidian floor that Vechs was so kind to provide us with.
Incoming again! Yai! Okay.
I should be able to hit that - oh no - no no no
okay. I gotta make sure I don't just like sit there in the fire
like I did before, last time, and get all burnt up
Gotta put this out here It's too bad water doesn't work over here
Okay. Alright. Ooh - no, Ghast, you messed up Vech's sign.
He doesn't like that! Or so I've been told. Okay. This is convenient. Make a little turret
place. Shoot him from. Okay. Gotcha. That'll quiet things down a little bit.
Now here. You think I could shoot through there? I'm gonna try. And she can't shoot
through there to get me, so I think I like this.
Ah, I like that sound I heard. Okay, I'm almost done with my house now. And
I'm going for the turret concept once again. I should be able to - whoa - I should be able
to get her! Those guys are huge! Can I shoot over? Nice!
Couldn't even see her but I got her. Okay. My house is just about done. Yes, it
is done. And now for the fun stuff. Exploring.
Which door shall we choose? Behind door number one is... The Red Mist Beckons. Yes. I am
being beckoned, so I'm going to go this way first.
And no, I'm not even going to even try to stand on that gravel. I mean, I see those
guys standing on it. But I ain't no Zombie Pigman.
I mean, I care about my life. So I am going to do this the Sly-Jay way, which means the
OCD way, and I'm just gonna build my way over. But don't worry. I will speed up all the tedious
parts. I mean I'm even putting glass and all that so I can look at the beautiful scenery.
And I don't expect you to have to sit through all that. I'll just slow things down to normal
speed when something interesting happens.
Oh! Something interesting is happening already! Fireball fight!
Now, I hope I don't accidentally hit a zombie pigman and make all them mad at me. That would
not be good. Okay. Looks like she got away. Okay, back
to some building. You know, I have actually even seen other
people doing videos where they are building, or maybe walking a long, long distance
and really nothing's going on, and they will actually say "Gee. I guess I should talk about
something while I'm doing this. But what is there to talk about? How are you
guys doing today?" Please kill me if I ever do that, okay?
No, not you! Okay, I take it back about the "Please kill me" part! I wasn't talking to
you, ghast! All I meant was, if you're not having
anything interesting going on visually, you'd sure as heck better have something interesting
going on audially. Or, yeah. Okay, well I consider
the fighting to be interesting so I'm showing you guys these parts and fast-forwarding through
my obsessive wall and bridge and ceiling and even window adding building.
Okay. These guys got to go. I mean, this is why I'm doing all this obsessive building!
And I know it's kind of a catch-22 because the more I build,
the more I'm allowing there to be more of them, but okay that's just the way I like
to play and I'm gonna stop saying that all the time now too.
hey, I'm going to try a Return to Sender. But can't be quite quick enough with changing
from arrows. Okay. I got somebody. I like that scream noise.
I know a lot of people really hate the ghast noises but I like 'em. I think the little
ones, you know like the baby-sounding ones are kind of cute,
and the death ones or the alarm ones are just ... well, I guess they're kind of satisfying,
'cause it's like "Now you got some for, you know, you
deserve it for setting me on fire, and, you know, knocking down things I want to walk
on, and all that kind of stuff. I like to see 'em scream!
Does that make me a psycho? I don't think that makes me a psycho. I'm just another Minecraft
player.
Okay. Whoa. Let's do some more building. Quickety-quickety.
We've done a lot so far, actually, we've done a lot. I'm just, you know, trying to keep
this quick. And ...I mean, this is why. This is why. It's
because all of this ground is just gonna fall down really easily, and these guys are shooting
at me, and the ghasts are even like helping it fall down too.
'Cause sometimes they're hitting it too. So - like that! Exactly! That's what I meant.
Everything falling down. So I'm just glad I'm not falling with it,
okay? That's why I'm doing all this work.
And also I'm doing it for the the award of the absolutely most OCD player of Minecraft.
And I'm sure there is like very heavy competition in that category.
I mean, there are some Minecraft players that are REALLY obsessive about, you know, just
taking hours and hours and hours to build things and add every
single little detail and so on and so forth. But I think I'm, I'm giving 'em some competition!
And so, yeah! Root for me! I'm going for the award
of Most Obsessive Minecraft Player! I mean, I've even seen - I watched, I like to watch
paulsoaresjr's videos. He's really good when you're first learning
stuff, he's got some great tutorial videos. Anyway, he's giving the tutorial, and there's
even people putting in the comments things like
"Dude! At minute 4:15 you missed a piece of coal!" You know. Like what, he's gonna go
back and pick it up? I mean, the tutorial isn't even about, like,
mining coal! It's about, you know, whatever the tutorial happens to be about. Farming
... or ... water ... or ... I don't even know. But you don't have
to pick up every bit of ore all the time. You know. If your purpose is making a tutorial
then please, stick with that. I mean, I will be grateful.
So ... yes. What I'm saying is: competition in the OCD category.
Ooh, looks like we've got another battle on our hands. But hey, you won't stop me! The
Red Mist Beckons! I'm being beckoned, and I'm just gonna fight my
way over here. So, ghast, you're just going to have to deal with it. Whoa!
Hey! That just took a Heart! Off of me! And I thought I was protected by my little wall,
half-wall here. Yaii ... See? That's why I've just gotta have
these bridges here.
Hey! I thought they weren't really - I thought the damage would come from fire and not - haha!
- not so much from the explosion. I guess I'm wrong though.
Can I getcha through there? Yes. Okay. Onward.
I had to go back and get supplies. So let's take a look at what we've got so far. Okay.
Nice. It seemed like a lot farther than I thought, but not bad.
One more addition: a window so I can observe this zombie pigman stuck standing on a block
here.
Well it seems like we've gone sort of far but probably not really because see that right
here? That's the Creeper Castle, that seems to be running parallel
along to where I'm building. And that goes on pretty far too. I mean, that thing looks
huge from here. And I'm imagining it's gonna have creepers around
every corner and all kinds of excitement. So that, yeah, that's gonna be an interesting
and fun area, let's just put it that way. In the meantime, let's
just worry about one deathtrap at a time.
Ooh. There is a light. Up ahead. Could that be a wool? I'm gonna feel a little bit silly
if I went to all this work, just like on Cloud Nine, only to just
pick up a wool and come back. I'm kind of hoping for a little more, but we'll see. In
any case I need to get down lower.
Oop. We're not going down lower or anywhere else until we get more cobble. Back at the
fort real fast. I've gotten curious. I'd lost the sign to this area.
There's Creeper Castle, there's back to the Undersky, the Red Mist, and there's this.
"WARNING. This area is very hard. If you give up I won't blame you."
That's coming from Vechs!
Whoa.
Well, we're gonna leave that area for the very end.
Okay? We've got other things to worry about now. But geez. Okay. Back to business.
Hey! Excuse me! Excuse me! He won't even let me past here. Dude! No manners. Yeah, that's
right. You stay outside until you learn some manners.
Okay. Now we've got a ghast stuck under the gravel pile. Can I get him? Can I get her?
Can I get It? Can she get me? Looks like her eyes are covered up.
In any case I can't aim my arrow higher, to go the distance, 'cause the gravel's in the
way. So that's not going to work. Okay.
Back to building.
Oh, I can't see my light anymore up ahead. Cause it's covered up by this new gravel field
in between us. But we are getting closer.
Oooh did you see that? That was another zombie pigman just falling down off the gravel. I'm
not sure what made him fall. But I've definitely made my share
of them fall when I place a block and it makes - yeah, like that. That's just what I mean.
When I place a block it makes a whole bunch of gravel fall and
a whole bunch more of zombie pigmen with it.
But sometimes they're falling on their own. And I think some of it's hitting ghasts too.
Cause I've been hearing some weird screams while I've been doing this.
Very disconcerting, I must add.
My gosh, going back to get more cobble. Yet again. But we have made a lot of progress.
Oh - excuse me. Can I go by? Please? Okay, you know what? I don't care if your buddies
are around. This - I'm not - yeah - I'm not putting up with this.
Yes, I know I made them mad, but you know where they are? They're up top. They're on
this roof that I made. But they can't get me.
Okay, I do see a bunch of zombie pigmen down there, but I think by the time I get down
there, they - whoa! hmm! gravel fall. But by the time I get down there, I don't,
I don't think they should still be mad anymore. If there's any of them still left.
At the rate I'm going - I mean, a lot of them are falling. Hopefully I can leave enough
gravel that I'll be able to build down there. I just have to be able to go downwards. And
right now I'm kind of rounding a corner here. This is a little bit awkward. Awkward building.
Oh well.
Oh, sorry, just when things were getting interesting I gotta go back yet again to get supplies.
Never thought I would go through so much cobble. Uh-oh. A zomb - are you still mad?
He is! He's mad! ooh! From the one that I killed earlier. Man, that seemed like a long
time ago. Phew. At least we were in this little corridor though. I'm okay.
And ...no pigman in here.
Oh no. Uh-oh.
Blocking my way to the portal.
Okay.
We're okay though with the corridor I think. I think - I hope, I hope - if I don't let
them in the door at the same time.
These guys are tough. They're a lot tougher than it seems like they're gonna be.
Okay.
Okay.
Phew!
Yeah, I mean, they do - they take some hearts. They do.
Uh-oh.
Pigmen on the roof.
Are they gonna jump down?
You think they'll jump down?
Yes, they're jumping down!
Oh no no no - why did I close they door! Why did I close the door!
No! No! I meant to close the door just then too.
Shoot. Okay. No! No! Nooo! haa ... that was close.
Ha-ha! Yeah, you got locked out! Neener! You don't get to come to the party! Neener! Neener!
Oh and you know what I have for you ... the Battlesign. Yeah, I haven't gotten to use
this. This will be perfect. And I'm gonna do this health potion real fast
... oh! Forgot it was a splash potion. Why did they all scream when I did that? That
was weird. Hmm.
Okay. Battle sign! Yeah, that's right. These things are great! Ha-ha!
And another sword! I think I got two golden swords off that.
Noooo! No! Never go through a door when you have a battle sign! Now it's gone forever.
Shoot. Okay, well I'm gonna have to make myself feel better by watching that pigman fall again
off the roof. Check it out. It went by really fast when it first happened.
Okay. I feel better.
Okay. Back to base. I do feel better.
Back to base with sword at the ready, I will add. Seems like you never know what's gonna
happen. Anyways, okay - hey, no wait! oh no! Is he gonna be mad? Is he mad? He is! He's
mad. Or is he mad?
Well, he's gonna be, 'cause I'm trying to hit him. Except I can't! He's being like that
slime! Or no. I'm just being a spaz. Yaiii - he's hitting me!
Oh no! no no no no no no. Aggggghhh.
That was so completely unnecessary for me to make that happen. Unbelievable. Okay, well
at least it'll give me a chance to ride my minecart again. My rollercoaster. I was about
to say rollercoaster. I was about to call it - ride my rollercoaster again. But it's
not really a rollercoaster. But you know, it feels like
one. I'm sorry, but I just have fun riding this. Even though it's not really a rollercoaster
and even though I'm not really riding it. I'm only, like,
riding it in my mind. Ooh.
But you guys, you know what I'm talking about though, right? I mean, is this fun? Are you
having fun on the rollercoaster with me? I dunno, I just like this,
never gets old.
And gonna collect all my stuff. So yes, I am glad I built that, that minecart railway.
And I got an egg too, from my chicken, my faithful chicken that's still around here.
Oh my gosh.
Okay you know what? Actually I think I don't need to have quite so many fires here. You
know. They're just going to burn me. You know. So I think
- oh no! No no! No! Hey! What ... noooo, oh ...
Oh, why are animals so dumb with fires?
I'm sorry. I feel bad, but I'm gonna eat him anyways. Sorry! Thank you for that contribution
to my good health, chicken.
And also, hey. Maybe we'll have a new one. Come on. Chicken. Nope. Oh well. Okay.
Oh, wait. I'm riding back again. I realized since I'm back here I should get more cobble
'cause I'm really using up a lot of it, and I'm going through
armor too, so I'm going to get some more of that while I'm out here.
I'm not just riding the minecart again just for the fun of it. I mean, would I do that?
Me? No, no, never, no no no. I'm going back on important errands.
So that when I start up the next episode I can be totally prepared.
So. I will leave you now with some words of wisdom.
The Nether is dangerous even when you're not in it.
Here lie the bones of the undersky hen. Sorry I didn't build you a proper pen.
