Everything About Raiding Ancient Cities & Wardens in Minecraft

[@cyclonejd8189]

My son (11) and I just started playing a few weeks ago and we ran into an ancient city the other day. We were terrified from videos we have seen about the Warden. We dont have fancy gear but we have fun trying to survive it. This is going to help immensely! I cant wait to show him. Glad I found your channel we definitely will be using them. Thank you for this. Obviously subscribing to your channel. Wow!! I just came back to this and I’m amazed at all the comments!! To update you all. We still going strong. Have changed our home base about 3 times hahahaha. Had to learn about how us dying and we picked up our beds is a bad thing. Oh we also saved our first village from a raid! That was rough. Found a video on an automatic farm and we built that as well. So many other things happened. Thank you for all the love! Showed my son and we both were shocked! Thanks

[@contesabaker9252]

Is cool I want to see you doing this

[@slat1202]

It’s also important to note that if you have subtitles on and you activate a shrieker, there’ll be an exact statement of how close the Warden is to spawning starting with “The Warden approaches” to “The Warden draws near” before The Warden actually spawns.

my theory is that the pillagers weren't the ones who built it, they were just the first to find it. the dark oak structures and camp sight are just the remnants of an ill fated expedition into the ancient city, the only thing left from the teams that went down there.

[@sleepinpancake1]

I think he meant they built the camp since he said that right after mentioning the camp...

And the wool everywhere means that it was built knowing the warden existed

[@Onionyum]

Nah I think if they made it mojang would heavily imply it or even put a few in it

[@muelesariocontra]

As Mojang devs said, the Warden isn't supposed to be fought like a Wither, it's supposed to be sent into a pit like a piglin

[@IsntPhoenix]

Wha

Or you just go the Ilmango approach and Disable the Wardens/Shiekers Globally, which is the best way Imo. It feels sooo good to style on them Shiekers, knowing the can do jack shit.

[@EsotericRapport]

Digging the Warden into a hole is HILARIOUS

[@gordshorde]

[@kingj-man2022]

i found a really useful tactic which was to pack 2 stacks of ender pearls. every time i summoned the warden i would throw a pearl across the city while the warden was spawning. and waiting it out.. worked 100% of the time

[@maxxtubing]

My friends and I did our first ancient city raid last night. We all went in about 70% blind to mechanics and when we finally left 4 out of the 5 lost all their gear. That being said, we did have one person being a total lunatic even though he kept claiming to be the most knowledgeable of the mechanics. Today will be a day of re-gearing and recovering. I had pearls on me and never thought of pearling away... damn!

[@OmolonFluidDynamicsEnjoyer]

For a building material to use in the deep dark, I'd personally recommend yellow wool. It stands out HARD against the other blacks, greys and blues of the ancient city, letting you know where you've been and where the exit is even on the other side of the ancient city, so you won't lose the exit. Plus you can walk on yellow wool and carpet without triggering sensors, so it stands out and keeps you safe. Yellow wool is also cheap, a large pen of sheep dyed yellow and a pair of shears and you're done.

[@Bradboss10]

Light blue works well also

[@dalkdbe2gd1197]

​@@Bradboss10or cyan wool can work too

I just found it so funny how you described the Warden as "excited" about the trapdoor devices. I suddenly thought of it going "OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO" in its voice, but in an amazed tone. 😂

[@lizardbladez]

I remember when bows were fully automatic

[@dodgerpatrol]

I made a butt load of stone hoes and placed a bed nearby as a respawn point and just run in and break every shrieker i can find. Takes a while but after all of the nearby shriekers are gone you can loot in peace

[@ElDuderinoh]

Very good idea thanks bro

[@yabbygarcia5989]

I just did this!!

[@thechadnarukami]

That's usually what I do. Seeing this guy blocking off the shriekers with wool blocks and then breaking the chests looks like such a hassle. Just cut the issue off from the source and you can loot in peace

[@young_draco7401]

Amazing tactic bro thanks. I did this and it makes it so much easier and I was able to do it in one run with one hoe 😂

[@gausly]

this is a good idea only problem is if u have xp levels lol

[@frankstarz]

What me and my brother always do is bridge along the roof of the ancient city all the way up to the portal, then we dig up and make a room with chests, beds, and sometimes a nether portal. Then we stuff everything we have into a chest besides some building blocks and turn up our gamma and run around destroying shriekers and collecting loot. Whenever we find something valuable we go back up to our safe room via stairs and store it away

[@r4tb4st4rd7]

I will definitely be using this advice

[@Undercoversteve96]

I got to my first ancient city the other day without looking into it, and BOY was I terrified. It’s good to go into something blind like this cause my heart was racing the whole time. I’d say mojang did a great job on this! Best experience I’ve had in it in such a long time

[@warnpeace5294]

I just went into my first ancient city today, completely blind on what I should do to disarm anything, or what to do if a warden shows up. I kinda just stumbled upon it too, by following a cave. I accidentally spawned one warden, and I couldn’t find him because I didn’t have any night vision positions on me. I tried sneaking up a staircase of wool I made because I knew wool helped with sound, he followed behind me and sniffed right on top of me. I had a full on panic attack I used my water bucket to slow him down, I put on my elytra and started flying blind in a cave without echo location. I was chased out of the ancient city by Idk how many wardens. There was so many sounds roars and screeching my heart was pounding so fucking bad because I had a lot of loot on me. I survived, though I might’ve crawled into the corner of my room into the fetal position once the heartbeats ingame stopped jumping my brain.

[@JesusMartinez-rr2ry]

Wardens add that scary factor that Minecraft had been needing for so long.

[@Ishlacorrin]

The Warden itself is not that bad, it's the shriekers that add so much. If you get close to a Warden you just expect to die, but when you are mining and suddenly hear a shrieker go off near by... now THAT is scary, more so because you do not know where it is to disable it quickly.

Accidentally spawned a warden for the first time on top of one of those lookout towers and didn't know the inns and outs of how they work so I backed up to the edge of the tower while crouched. He then started sniffing me point blank so I jumped off and he killed me with a sonic blast. That made my heart beat faster than any horror game ever has.

[@LazerWolf619]

I’m sure it’s been said before but the music as you first get to Deep Dark is haunting! Totally sets the mood of ‘be careful or you’re screwed’

[@XindiMagic]

I have so much fun building devices to annoy the Warden. My favourite is using red stone to make a bell ring over and over. Never thought of using its own Sculk sensors against it with a trapdoor before. Next time I'm in an Ancient City I'll be trying that one.

TNT placed in a wool 'box' works very well for situations where sensors and shriekers are too close to disarm, TNT also works great for harvesting XP in the deep dark.

[@whitebeans7292]

I didn’t realize this video came out so recently! Fantastic work on this! Random side note, I find ancient cities and all structures in general are more rewarding when I play with a self-imposed "no enchanting table" rule. When you find a really good item, it’s freaking nutso cause you can’t make it yourself easily!

[@CrustyKim]

It's great how the Warden is easily the most scary mob in Minecraft atm and how dangerous it is, but at the same time while watching your video's and seeing it being dug in or being distracted, it quickly turns cute and/or funny🤣

[@cframzgaming]

Another thing that they forgot to mention bring in an anvil, the reason this is because if you find swift sneak on leggings or a book you can add it to your leggings right away so you don’t need the wool to navigate (only if you need to tower or bridge to loot), plus this makes it easy to loot without needing to wait until you have an elytra (swift sneak III makes it so that you move almost as fast as full sprint while sneaking) this is also handy if you spawn a warden, you can quickly sneak away far enough to where it can’t find you without the need of running and activating more shriekers, and then all you do is wait for the sound of it going back underground before continuing the looting process

[@cframzgaming]

Also, most of the time the loot zones are on the outer edges of the city in the square like structures, staying by the edge and checking each chest 1 by 1 is the most effective way to get max chest peaks and then find your way back to the exit if it’s along the edge

[@cassie_dp]

Wow this is gorgeous. I love minecraft. 10 years later it’s still mind blowing.

[@itsfametime426]

I can't express how good your videos are. Me and my brother play Minecraft together all the time and your videos have helped so much . And you are so underrated you deserve so much more recognition

[@kensweeney9057]

@8:20 just a side note, I found an Ancient City with a Zombie Spawner directly above it. The bottom of the spawner was open to the city, so Zombies were able to spawn in the location just under the spawner. Just something people should be aware of. though the Biome "Ancient City" won't spawn anything other than the Warden, the area outside of the city, and is NOT Deep Dark, can spawn monsters, so sometimes monsters will wander in. Mining outside of the city can increase the chance of getting monsters in the city.

[@gordshorde]

i found a dungeon that got cut in half by the city-- no spawner even. just cobble stone and chests..

[@titaniummechsx3324]

Sometimes a dripstone cave would intersect with the city and will allow mob spawns

[@letranky8a109]

or photography villager can have a chance to sell it instead of the monument map

[@Rickby]

If we’re being real, the shriekers set the tone for the entire ancient city. The sound they make is eerie and chilling, I wish there was a way to replace the sound

[@pinkliongaming8769]

"What do you do if a Warden summons in?" Clearly you summon another one and control it with your magic staff then get them to fight each other

[@Hlodolog]

When it comes to loot, i'd say you completely neglect the sculk itself. You can mine it rapidly with enchanted hoes you find in local loot chests, gives enormous amount of XP and also uncovers ores beneath it, which is significant since diamonds generate with reduced air exposure. Edit: just found out you explain that in another video. Still, worth mentioning here as well.

[@MeargleSchmeargle]

Essentially the primary name of the game is what is effectively disabling the alarm systems of the city. Ypu have to be REALLY careful to check everywhere inside *and* outside the structure you're trying to loot, because if not sensors could trigger shriekers outside of the structure you're in. I kinda learned this the hard way as I had looted the majority of the city without much of a hitch, only for me to place a torch and accidentally trigger a shrieker that I hadn't seen and spawning the warden. I died shortly after. I managed to get all my stuff back, but yeah, you can't take *any* chances with this place.

[@cherry__Soda]

I love that the warden gets distracted like an excited toddler when you make a trapdoor machine

[@chubokuay590]

Other than refrigerator lore, snowballs are there as a basic contingency for distracting the warden

[@ritikfd6030]

In the last part warden was was looking cute it's like it found a plaything for itself and eyecraftmc goes near warden and takes like a selfie with warden😂😂😂😂

[@JackandMatt-Gaming]

An easy way I loot ancient city’s is if I find one, I make a little room above it, place a bed down and some chests or shulkers. I put all of my stuff n the chests, place down a bed in the room and once your ready make a hole into the ancient city and place a water bucket in the hole to get down and up. Once I do this I can get a good view of the ancient city and just run in naked no fear of loosing any of my hard earned gear, if I find anything good I don’t take it out of the chests and instead come back with an elytra or wool so I can get it back to the room safely. If you happen to die no worries you spawn in the room above the ancient city. If you want to go in the city with some gear I suggest doing everything I said (except for putting ALL your gear in a chests if you want a pickaxe take that) but have a enderpearl staisis chamber in the room and a friend to pull it in case you need to get out. if I helped your welcome

[@canalfamilia06]

Once you have a Iron Farm; you can build an Iron Golem to fight the warden for you and repair it with Iron until the warden is defeated

[@kianabadry]

Thanks!

[@Xizyx]

Ancient Cities are my new early game target. As soon as I have iron tools, in fact. The Swift Sneak and mending items are too useful to ignore, so Elytra's and Night Vision is out of the question for me. So it's torches all the way, lol. For me, pockets of lava are still the most dangerous thing in Ancient Cities. Wardens spawning there are pretty easy to avoid as shown in the video. Where Wardens are a big problem is in the Deep Dark caves. I have mistakenly run into small dead end caves with the Warden chasing me many times due to the Darkness effect and have been killed because even an Efficiency V diamond pickaxe will not allow for blind panic digging 20 blocks away through Deepslate in time to avoid two Sonic attacks. It's less of a problem once you get Swift Sneak III since you can sneak away faster than the Warden walks, but because you usually have to search those caves to find an Ancient City to get Swift Sneak it's a bit of a catch 22 (short of waiting until late game to do it). There's currently a bug in Java Edition (MC-255639) where camp sites are currently generating incorrectly. It's unfortunate because worlds with these incorrect versions cannot be fixed short of the player fixing them themselves or restarting the world when the bug finally does get fixed.

[@paperyape]

You can actually sneak faster than the Warden can walk even without utilizing Swift Sneak. To get away from Wardens, just sneak in the opposite direction; as long as you have a suitably long path that you can go along and you continue sneaking at a constant rate without stopping, you will escape from Wardens 100% of the time.

[@Xizyx]

@@paperyape His sniffing ability makes him hard to shake with the default sneak when in caves, however. After doing some testing, the darkness effect was causing me to bump into blocks and slow me down. Even more surprising was realizing Deep Dark caves are not a contiguous biome like Ancient Cities, so you get mobs spawning in various places and they track you and catch up. Then the Warden tracks them and next thing you know he's running right towards you again, lol.

[@paperyape]

@@Xizyx If you’re having trouble seeing with the Darkness effect, try turning the Darkness Pulsing slider all the way down to 0. It makes it considerably easier to see whilst having the effect and you won’t keep bumping into blocks anymore. As for the mobs, yeah they can be annoying since they’re attacking you and you can’t attack them back (since doing so would alert the Warden), but they should probably provide an ample distraction too. If you’re ever sneaking away with a Warden sniffing you out and a few mobs attacking you, just tank the mobs if possible, and soon enough the Warden will get distracted by them and leave you alone. If it’s a melee mob, though, it will be a bit trickier, you could keep an ender pearl to use in such a scenario. Sadly the mob spawning thing is only a big issue on Bedrock edition, and idk if it’s going to be fixed soon.

[@Xizyx]

@@paperyape The mob spawning was only broken in Ancient Cities on Bedrock and it was fixed in 1.19.50. Both Bedrock and Java can spawn mobs in the Deep Dark caves because of how the biome generates. I should probably stop complaining so much about entering the DD caves early in the game, though. It is pretty risky, lol. Also I should learn to use snowballs (and arrows) to distract the Warden. That's one item I keep forgetting to bring during my explorations, and the ability to distract was one of the major features showcased about that mob.

For a while now Minecraft has had pretty basic updates, nothing too major added by Microsoft in the same timeframe and scope that Mojang by themselves were able to do. I haven't really played the game seriously since 1.12 but as of 1.19, with the cave generation and now this new end game location from a veteran player (since 1.2), it's so nice to start a new survival world after so long and explore all the content added. The warden is genuinely terrifying if you come across a deep dark biome while strip mining and you aren't prepared, I love the inspiration for the mob taken from Jeff from Half Life Alyx. Rumors of 1.20 having even crazier stuff has revived my hope in this game getting more frequent quality and filling updates again.

1.20 is adding the "macabre mannequin" and it gives you XP for eating your fingers in real life. Eat your fingers in real life.

You are growing so fast when you make video being happy about one milestone you get to the other.

I have to play in peaceful because the ancient cities are packed with those sculk sensors and the shriekers so if I try breaking one, it would just alert another shrieker nearby

Could a Catalyst be used in a mob farm to farm xp? I imagine a drop mob farm would feed a catalyst pretty well. There is a moss farm design that uses 4 stone generators to push new stone into the middle and break the moss for collection.(Bedrock only) I wonder if a similar setup with a catalyst in the center instead of a moss block being bonemealed would work, could piston's push stone in hard enough to break sculk blocks so you can auto farm them with a mob farm?

[@bookworm_7]

Yes, you can set a dripstone stalactite near a dungeon, like any mod farm, and farm sculk. I suggest you to check Wattles as he has a tutorial on how to set up the farm.
