The combat system changed very greatly between 1.8 and previous versions of MC. For one, I don't mind charging at a skeleton "guns a blazin'" as long as I have food to keep my hunger bar up.
Also while this is a big cave room the cave system isn't big at all. I've explored cave systems that took real life days just to light up fully and explore every branch. And since i do mostly play underground, I can explore much faster.
zero forward progress because of zero combat skills.
I mean, come on, this is not Crysis. Just wield the sword, run towards the skel while strafing sideways and whack that bone bag. This way you get almost no damage and the enemy is down. With the bow do the same approach but spam arrows like crazy. By being overly cautious and attacking from weird angles it only makes it worse.
And if you want to be real sneaky, use blocks to block the enemies in.
The skeletons knew you were coming and were like "Hey everyone, Kurt's coming to visit our place, let's give him a nice warm, skeletal welcome, by giving him arrows."
It's funny, whenever I turn around and there's a mob behind me, and it growls or hisses or shoots an arrow, my hand jerks forward, and I lose orientation with my surroundings. Mobs that get the drop on me usually end up going through with the assassination.
guys the seed 'RAND0M' (that 0 is a zero) makes the worlds tallest mountain, a great creeper fishing spot, lava above ground, PLUS some spawners not too far from spawn!
Never take a skeleton from above. The best strategy to take them out is to attack the head on, on level ground, and strafe to avoid their arrows. You keep putting yourself in positions where you give them the advantage, like just on top of ledges or right around corners.
It might seem reckless but honesty you can pretty much waste skeletons by just running up to them and slashing with a diamond sword. As long as you're strafing they're not likely to hit you as you approach either.
Wow quite the cave adventure. We all have our own foe that is most difficult to handle. But I agree with snailzillascreator that you have to keep moving. Also its best to fight them in open areas as its so easy for them to pop up or around a corner to get a shot off on you. But most of all what suits me best in killing them with a sword is to orbit in a circle around them. When you get close enough you can hit, dodge and repeat. Best of luck to you. ^.^
He really has no idea how to fight a skelly :p.Never approach one slowly because they shoot the moment they see you, always stay moving because you're harder to hit.
My very first world had a large hole in the ground very close to the mountainside I'd made home. Exploration revealed the deepest and most convoluted cave system that I've still yet to see topped. I named it 'China Pit' after the mine in a Stephen King novel, because it's an absolute nightmare. Deep sheer shafts with lava in the bottom, caverns with walls like swiss cheese that mobs just spew out of, tunnels that intertwine and meet in large chambers. It's horrible, yet I can't stay away...
Your heart is pounding? Really? Is it really that frightening? Go to the nether on peaceful mode, find a cave that's well-lit with Netherrack fire, then switch the difficulty to hard. Enjoy what you hear as your sanity crumbles. (Recipe for paranoia)
Just circle the skeletons - they only aim where you were and not where you're going, so you can close in on them and swing your diamond sword at them.
Also with creepers, just charge at them, you can kill them with two swings of your diamond sword (3 with Iron swords, 4 with stone swords, and 5 with wood) - so you should be able to fit in a 2nd swing at the creeper well before it explodes. Provided your aim is decent of course.
I like how you play with so much regard to your survival though :D
Just circle the skeletons - they only aim where you were and not where you're going, so you can close in on them and swing your diamond sword at them.
I love your videos but I must say, watching you go into caves and kill things is kind of painful haha. You should just go in and lay down as many torches as you can cause by waiting more and more are spawning
You occasionally talk about mining obsidian which takes ages, you should wait till you find a lava spring and make mud casts using water and lava buckets
Just a thought: since you had a bed in your base you know if you die you will spawn directly to the last place you slept right? So even if you die it's not like you have to start from the very beginning of your amazing journey :)
Really enjoy the videos. I don't know if you'll ever actually make it to the far lands, but obviously the journey is far more important than the destination. Keep up the good work.
"Getting to the Far Lands without the use of an external program would be a very difficult (or at least time consuming) task, taking about 820 hours to walk there from the center of the map." -Minepedia
hey kurt i have a question for you! if you could add stuff into minecraft for your own update, what will it be? (rate this comment if you want to help kurt see it)
You should always carry two buckets with you, or three if you collect lava. But if you always have one bucket if lava and one bucket of water you can use the lava to take out monsters when behind cover and to eliminate useless items, and the water to cool yourself off if you catch fire and cover over lava pools. Someone thumb me up so Kurt can see.
So you really want to see the far lands?You do know that getting there will mostlikely take about 890-900 hours which will lead you to make about 3300-3600 videos to get there (Depends on your video lenght).Are you REALLY up the challenge?
im getting frustrated with mine. i went into a cavern, and it was full of spiders. so i blew it apart with tnt from above. spiders didnt die ;___; hurry back kurt lol
By the way, you don't want to know how immensely huge the cave systems in my server are... I swear, everywhere you dig, you'll eventually find a cave that somehow connects into the single same system. Spent hours there fighting off all kinds of creatures, and they're still coming from everywhere, even in long established parts of the caves.
Bind quick keys? No need! You can press 1 to 9 to select slots 1 to 9 in your inventory, so always putting the same things in those slots will get you accustomed to quickly pressing 1 when you need a sword, etcetera.
oh ya! if you put some sand and gunpowder together you can make a TNT block. it kind of works like a little minecraft grenade so u dont have to waste food fighting all those skellies...P.S. i think you should just keep going for the farlands. the cave thing is getting kind of boring now Dx and its getting kindo fun watchin the awsome terrain get awsomer and more adventureful...
Its good to know you read your comments. Unlike Seananners, you have a mission and dont try going into a skeleton dungeon. Keep up the good work! For the next few videos, you should do something unique for each segment of your travel. So it dosent get boring as you travel.
Just a suggestion on your commentary: tell us everything that pops in your mind that seems relevant/funny like:"that hill is shaped like... then make a joke or something. I always think of funny stuff when a pig humps a tre
I'd say the only thing that really annoys me in these videos is that you have a tendency to just abandon your torches. I'm a bit OCD about making sure to pick up EVERY torch I can before leaving/sealing off an area, lol.
I'd voted against going into the cavern. I'm glad you've resurfaced. Everytime I saw a monster coming at you I shouted "Run Kurt RUN!!"
I'm going to recommend that you craft many more arrows and keep how many you have in your heads up display. And don't do dangerous stuff like that again.
I find it funny how Minecraft can excite me more than most action/horror games.
stop, kill more, dude
