Howdy y'all, Joe Hills here, recording as I always do in Nashville Tennessee.
And today, in Inferno Mines, we are about to explore
Hane's or Han-ay's,
because i'm not sure if it's an Anglicized name, or a Japanese name...
Han-ay's Disgrace.
Now what we've got to do here is solve a bunch of redstone puzzles Vechs put for us.
Like this one. I think this one makes things light up.
Yay! We lit it up!
Ah!
And an enderman showed up.
What does this say?
"If there aren't noises and lights it's not worth it"
Now that travels...
In the opposite direction I would like.
Oh, hey. This guy is about to travel in the opposite direction he would like. That's right.
I should probably have some arrows.
Why do I not have arrows? No-one knows.
It is a mystery.
Okay, so we now have arrows...
And there is a Zombie fella over there,
who is about to go off the edge.
Not, you know, a lot,
because that would be too convenient.
Let's go ahead and add some torches here.
That we may be the bringers of
light and joy and peace and hope and chivalry and goodness and joyousness and mercy and kindness and patience
to this otherwise relatively neglected area of the map.
Oh, hey, there's some chests! I'll have to loot them later.
That's a good sword though.
Dude, that's a good sword.
Okay, yeah, we're trading that out.
Sword traded!
"Han-ay corp. 100% useful rock crusher."
What does that do?
I like that.
Vechs, you did a good job with that.
What does this one do?
Oh, that turns that off.
Let's add more light here...
Oh, hey, that turns on those other lights.
I like this whole area.
[Shouting] "FEEL THE BREEZE AS POWERFUL PISTONS MOVE THE AIR"
"HAN-AY CORP 100% EFEESHANT AIR MOVING MACHINE"
"LEADING INNOVATION IN BASE AIR CIRCULATION"
How does that work? Do I just turn that on?
Okay, this is the best part of the map, Vechs. You have won this.
Okay, what have we got over here?
"Rail use cancelled. Op order 27"
So that rail line doesn't seem to go anywhere. That leads to glass. Interesting.
I hear a Spider! I should probably slay it or her or him.
Oh, now the Enderman's in the cart. That's adorable. Okay Vechs, you have won me over.
Let's go and try and figure out what all this crazy stuff is.
Everything else in here is beautiful and delightful and joyful and happy and kind and patient and forgiving and merciful,
and so maybe I should be these things as well.
Maybe I will bring a new attitude of peace and friendship into this map.
Let me just light this up out of a not at all-
[Surprised] Suspicious! There's a guy!
Woah! Woah woah woah!
Okay okay, so, here guys, here guys is how we are going to escape this:
By running very, very quickly!
No! Oh no no no no no!
[Sobbing]
Oh now i've got to be quiet and listen to make sure I didn't wake the baby by yelling.
Okay, I think she's still asleep.
Dang it! Dang it Vechs!
I shake my fist at thee, you foul mannered foe.
You... I don't know...
Undignified...
I don't know... fellow.
Man... Okay
So whatever I triggered to make all of those Blazes spawn was not okay.
Or good or happy of friendly or patient or kind.
Luckily I built myself this little shortcut here off camera that takes me right down so I don't have to go all the way through the intersection.
Let's see if we can get a view of what's left over here.
Wow, surprisingly non of those Blazes are left.
How did that happen? Are they going to respawn, or was that a one time event?
Woah, that guy's still there. Just the rest of them disappeared. How did that happen?
Woah! They probably all fell in here. That's probably what happened.
Okay. So this is... Yes.
Okay. I still like this area the best Vechs, because of the air conditioning. That was a very nice touch.
Thank goodness we had air cooling.
Okay. So, new sword, new adventure. Let's take one bowl.
We are just going to keep feeling this out until we figure it out.
Then we will equip properly. That's what we've got to do.
We've got to expedite our expedition, so that we may begin the colonization of this area.
That we may settle without settling in terms of our personal beliefs or ideals.
We should stay true to those.
But, okay. So there's at least one more fire guy over there.
Let's let him despawn.
What's up here? I don't know yet. Is it a Creeper?
Oh, it's a Creeper. That's worse than I was hoping.
Okay. So hopefully this thing wasn't expensive, because I broke it. It is now broken. That was me. I did that.
Okay. So I broke the expensive thing. let's go see what's down this hallway here.
It's a 3x3 hallway, so it's probably trapped. Hey! It's on the other side of the glass.
Now from what I was led to believe by Vechs himself, the map maker, there's something to do here with there being a Fleecy box at the end of this glassed in area.
Now, he also-
Ah! That guy is on fire. And now am I. I am.
[Laughing] I am not pleased by this turn of events.
Let us allow our health to recombobulate.
Now, anyway, I was about to say, that I spoke with Vechs the other day, about something, let's just say, down there.
He told me in some confidence, but not such confident confidence that I couldn't share it with you, the viewer,
that this area is a bit unbalanced, and that the final version will likely be rebalanced, such that it's actually, you know, beatable.
Am I summoning new Blazes, or is that just the same one?
There's just one stupidly obnoxious Blaze.
Okay let's go up the ladder. I saw a Creeper up here earlier.
But, oh good! Its not like he's still here.
Or that there aren't...
Oh hey! That Creeper's...
Okay, so um...
In terms of now we have two problems, now we have two problems.
um...
Interesting. So I could have taken any of those carts up to here. That's just good to know for my edification.
Um... Now i'm going to translocate him...
I'm going to...
Oh! There are a lot of carts up here!
Do these all have stuff in them? They do all have stuff in them!
Let's take that stuff.
This is a cool place to be, I've got to tell you.
Where did that guy fall from? Oh, he's probably on a spawner. So that means... Okay.
Oh dude! Better swords! Okay, let's not die here.
Better sword, to the chest!
Yes. That is a win.
So in light of the many Blazes hypothesis, and Vech's statement about the unbalancement of this area,
I've essentially been told, verbatim by Vechs, also known as Satan, that I can feel free to cheat as much as possible in this area.
Not "cheat" cheat, not like, "Oh I'm going to make a, um, enderpearl box thing."
But he essentially said that the bridging along the glass is probably the only way to actually beat this area.
Because, apparently so many Spiders spawn that you will die. That is just what will happen.
The part where you will die? That is not avoidable.
Okay. So, I'm guessing that what he meant... We've got this whole Ant-Farm thing here.
So I just need to figure out where it actually goes. Like, what the lowest point is.
And it seems like the lowest point is probably on that side?
Okay. Well, it's hard to tell, 'cause it's not very well lit.
Luckily though, I received the gift of eight iron when I explored the Lost Cavern.
So I'm going to go ahead and make a bucket out of that, and then drop some lava down to illuminate some things.
So, unfortunately, it's...
If Vechs had given me nine iron, I'd be sitting here going, "Well, I've gotta hold onto all nine of those because that's going to be a block for my Victory Monument."
You give me eight iron? Well that says to me, "Son, go burn that.
And then, use it to make a bucket that Zisteau would be proud of."
Because, you know, at the end of the day, that's what really matters. Did you impress Zisteau?
Dang it! I moved the furnace from here to the other base.
Alright, now that we have constructed our very first bucket, we should go ahead and grab us some lava. Which is also known as magma.
Some of you can tell me the difference in the comments between magma and lava,
and other people will just yell "First." You know who my favorites are.
So, we've got our lava bucket. Woo! Oh, and I probably shouldn't carry all of these torches in.
I'm going to put some of these in the wonderful little place I've got over here. I've got myself a little chest all ready and waiting
to dump off my unnecessarily materiel before I do anything excessively dangerous.
Okay. Probably don't need the super fancy sword either, but whatever.
Okay. So we're trying to find the lowest point in the glass here,
and I am inclined to believe that it is probably right there.
Woah. There was a spider that just fell out of the sky.
So let's go ahead and dump some lava right here and see what that shows us.
We will come down over this way, using these wonderful workbenches as a front-stop.
[Screams] Wah!
That was clearly... Woah this is the worse place to possibly stand ever. Oh my goodness.
Okay. Wow. Terrible idea. Never again. Okay.
So there's something lit up over in there, that's going to be of note maybe. Maybe that's the actual wool.
The area through here is lit, but I'm pretty sure like I said it goes down and around through here.
Okay. So let's try and get up there and light that a little bit, because we do not want them fellas jumping down at every turn. That is unacceptably dangerous
This is undeniably hazardous.
Oh, and I almost jumped into one of the very self same hazards I was just lamenting about.
Let us now runt through here, planting torches every so distant that we may ensure a peaceful and prosperous-
Run from that Blaze. Run run run run run from that Blaze.
A bunch more Blazes spawned. Let's not hang out there. That's a lot of them. We don't want them to lock on us.
I Don't love that sound. Okay, how far until I get to that?
This is probably the worst of all possible ways to do this.
Oh no, I'm going in the lava. Probably shouldn't have taken my good bow. Or my good sword.
Let's try that again!
Let's see if we can do this properly. One enderpearl.
So we're just going to get our crosshair directly over top of that...
[Laughing] "Our foreman is a moron. -Jeff"
Okay, well at least from down here I can confirm... there seems to be some sort of lighting glitch there, but I don't think that's...
Same thing here. I don't think that has anything to do with the actual presence of the Fleecy Box.
I think the Fleecy box would have to be further up. Dang it!
Okay. Well it's unfortunate that there's not some sort of secret treasure here, because I was very prepared for there to be.
Is there a BUD switch where if I break this sign Vechs will do something awesome?
No.
That would be too kind.
"Vechs is a meanie face, but creative."
Done. Light me up!
The next thing I'm wondering is whether or not one of the redstone puzzles is trying to get the spawners for the Blazes to come off the railroad tracks.
Are those all, like, railroad track spawners?
No, they don't appear to be.
These are just chests, right? Just normal chests?
"Hane corp 100% reliable cart rack"
What happens if I press that?
Oh it goes up to the top.
And then it activates all of those. How did that happen?
See, I didn't move there, is there a, um...
Are there redstone activated spawners now or did it bump a spawner lower down? Or what happened there?
Oh hello, a lot of you guys. I'm going this way.
This is probably a bad place for stuff to jump on me from.
I should illuminate it, you know, in my best interests.
Okay. Let's jump down here and illuminate some of this as well. You know, that's only smart.
I'm wondering if Vechs put anything up here at all, or if this is just a place for monsters to jump down on me from.
Either way, let's go ahead and light up as much of this as we can.
Furnace carts... Ah! now I'm stuck inside of one.
Okay, somehow I broke a lot of those.
Oh! They're jumping down from the ceiling up there! That's not good.
Okay. So there's an above part here I have to be alert about. Let's grab all this stuff and see if we can survive.
Probably not because my luck has not been good so far this episode.
And I heard another Creeper fall, so clearly that whole up there part is working well for Vechs.
Don't let them fall down here please.
Okay. Let's stow a bunch of this stuff for later and figure out a new plan of attack.
Okay. I'm going to break a hole in the glass right here and quickly get a sense if I can look sideways.
Dang it.
So it doesn't seem like my area that I had walled off or that I had lit up right there is anything particularly special.
As far as I can tell there's nothing else really back here.
Why would I do that? Why would I do that? Why would I do that?
Oh my goodness.
[Depressed] Time skip.
Okay I'm about to move around the lava flow that I have self engineered here.
Hopefully this will not be yet another untimely demise in the chronicle, or ballad of Joe Hills.
Oh good! There's light up there, up ahead. That might mean that's where the Fleecy Box is.
Okay. We are... Wow.
So Vechs has this descend fairly steeply here. What was that weird glowing effect?
Does anybody else see that? Are there Invisible Spiders!?
[Scared] Do you see their eyes? I see their eyes. I see them. I see them when I close my eyes.
I don't want to close my eyes. I don't want to fall asleep, because there's Spiders. Glowing.
And I don't want to feel their sting.
Wow. Creepy Spiders are really creeping me out.
I see what Vechs means about this area being super-duper overpowered and not really being beatable without cheating.
I probably should have just sent him my map and asked him to re-calibrate this, but I didn't want to trouble him.
So instead I've got a crazy unbeatable spider area that I don't love.
Hopefully I'm far enough below all those Blazes now that I will not activate them.
Hopefully.
Let's add a torch there so no Spiders spawn right on that platform as we make it.
Okay, so I'm pretty sure through that area there is going to be the Fleecy Box.
I really don't have a ton of equipment on me right now.
Wow. Yeah. He said like Sixty Spiders spawn every wave instead of Thirty.
Now to me, that sounds still... If it was supposed to be Thirty, that sounds like Twenty too many.
I could maybe handle Ten Spiders per spawning cycle.
But I don't know. That's just like, an insane figure.
So, what I'm going to try and do now is... I 'm going to keep lighting this stuff up as I go.
And I'm going to try to...
Woah!
That's why we don't try that!
Oh good! They're Cave Spiders, and I was poisoned.
Dang it Vechs.
[Laughing] Who makes that many Cave Spiders!
That's not fair.
So here's an idea. I could possibly poke a hole in the glass by the lava here, and let the Spiders burn themselves to death running into it.
Actually, first, let's just try and run over here and close up that gap that will be my inevitable, future, many time demise.
So inevitable future many time demise has been nullified, but there's still Spiders everywhere, which is less than ideal.
Let's pick up that torch and set it here.
Okay. So we've got a Fleecy Box clearly back there. I'm thinking my best bet's going to be to dump lava inside of here.
Really and truly. So let's go get us some lava.
Okay, so if I poke a hole...
I have nothing on me.
If I break some holes in the glass here will the Spiders start coming through and just burning themselves to death?
And will they do so without killing me?
Okay so this way, If i run past here a bunch of them will get caught up in the lava and kill themselves.
Oh, but I will still have to deal with such friends as: Skeleton... Dang it. Oh well.
Time skip!
Okay. Now we want to move away from the wall, where Spiders cannot spawn, and we want to dump lava just into the room.
Like this essentially.
Then, we want to put out bucket in this box so we can be sure we will not accidentally create problems for ourselves.
Now let's see how that lava helps us.
For one thing it seems to be dealing with the Spider problem in a very friendly and helpful and otherwise awesome way.
Plus it's continuing down this little channel here and lighting this whole area up.
Which will allow me quite the passage forward hopefully.
Oh good! it didn't actually stop there! Oh awesome! It's still going!
Got some Endermen there. Got some Skeletons.
[Baby talk] Got some more Baby Spiders coming over the little ridge. Awww, ain't that adorable.
Got some coal up here.
So, what might be the most logical plan would be to go in above here.
Into the lava with you fellas!
I can do this.
Without looking at any Endermen.
I am a competent and capable individual.
I am intelligent and well liked.
My goals are achievable. My dreams are dream-able.
Okay, see that right there? See that Skeleton pushing the Creeper in my direction?
Those two. Those two are my greatest foes at this point. The Creeper not so much even. But that Skeleton.
He could be some problems. All sorts of fancy ones even.
Okay. Light this up, and we are just going to bridge on through.
With all the light in the world. Can't have too much light here.
I may even want to wall this up some. Okay
Breaking our way through here,
Adding a little bit more backstop. You know, just for good measure. You can't have too much backstop, now can we?
Luckily this wall never becomes directly adjacent to the cavern wall. The concavity of it keeps the Spiders form getting to me.
Oh man! Vechs had told me, "Oh you'll never find the Spider spawners. Otherwise deactivating them would be a legitimate way of beating this area."
And look at what I did Vechs. Look at what I did. I found one of them. Might not have been all of them, but I found one. Okay.
So I've got to figure out how those spiders go up here, and then be sure they never do that again.
I'd be willing to guess it was through here, actually.
'Cause they definitely didn't spawn up here.
So anyway, one Spider spawner down.
Add another torch. I wonder how many more there are?
Oh good, a Skeleton. That I might shoot him.
Definitely more Spider spawners, we know that now.
There's our Fleecy Box.
Now when I hear them behind me I freak out.
So I could come back here with more lava, which is looking like what a sane person would do in my situation.
I'm not going to have enough light to bridge all the way out to there anyway. In a real or meaningful way.
Let's quickly get our bearings.
So it seems like going through the wall here is going to be somewhat potentially viable.
Let's deal with the Creeper. I don't want him getting too close to me. Oh good! we have Invisible Spiders too.
Thank you Vechs for those. Okay, so these Spiders here seem to be coming up along the wall there.
Let's make sure they don't do that by blocking them like so.
Okay. That should keep them out of there. Okay
Now this is the delicate part guys. I know you guys don't normally associate me with delicate materials or maneuvers.
You're not like, "Oh! What a fine silk. I wonder if Joe Hills was the manufacturer, or otherwise related to its manufacture?
And that's okay. I don't expect you guys to have a lot of belief in my finesse because that is not a skill I generally demonstrate.
But welcome to Finesse Town. Population: Finesse-ity.
Finesse-ity is my middle name.
Not really.
Um... Okay. So this is the wort possib-
Let's cover that up.
So let's make sure none of the rest of them are coming up out of there.
And let's maybe try this again, uh... Two over, which is going to be too dark. I'm going to have to steal a torch from somewhere I think.
And an additional pick. Dang it! I'm so close.
I feel like I could use that torch, if only I had the additional pick still.
You know what? We've come too far!
We are just going to manhandle our way through this like we know what we're doing.
We are going to break the number one rule of Minecraft.
We are just going to jump in and dig straight down.
I think I did the math right on this.
Oh no, oh no, that was not the math right. Okay.
So everybody, stay with me on this, stay with me on this.
Boom. Joe Hills.
That's the Joe Hills difference right there. That is the Joe Hills difference.
So now we will just hop into our nice little Fleecy Box, which hopefully is intrinsically Spider free.
And we will hop on out with our Lime Wool, taking a quick look around waving at the Spiders. Bye Spiders!
Joe Hills here, recording as I always do from Goneville Tennessee.
See ya later. Population: Bye Bye Your Faces!
And we will leave them all to burn. We'll come back and get our wonderful little bucket on the next trip,
Just in case... are there any Skeletons here waiting to shoot me through that lava hole I made? I don't see any.
Woo boy. Okay. This has been quite the visit Vechs.
Quite the spider filled adventure. Quite the um... Arachnidal journey, If you will.
Wow. Let's just get this back to our little enderchest and call this an episode.
Because this is an intense, intense zone. Even kind of fuzzing it as I did by
following your advice and ignoring the given path becuase of it's uneven ability to be beaten,
WOW! That area is intense.
I've got to say, I'm really proud of this little portico thing i've carved here.
I don't know how much of this got cut out of the episode, but I made this, and I like it.
So too bad for everybody who hates it, because,
[Singing] Hate-az gonna be berated!
So we're just going to take out this Bottle-O'-Enchanting here and put in our Lime Wool,
and then we're going to light this up. What do we have to light this up with?
Light it up! Boom! Lime Wool!
And we got that in Han-ay's... Failure thing.
So until next time y'all,
(I should make sure this doesn't burn down all my base!)
Keep Adventuring.
