[Sebastian Nasiescu]

Imagine this beeing The Warden's secret weaknes.

[Drimy]

@Sebastian Nasiescu warden weakness, music 🎶

[Emperor Machinedramon]

I think I'd be cooler as less of a weakness and more of a way to pacify it for a little while.

[Sebastian Nasiescu]

@Drimy What do you mean?

[Sebastian Nasiescu]

@Emperor Machinedramon Pacify it forever,better

[Brielle Henderson]

Fun detail I noticed about when learning about how noteblocks work in Minecraft: The flute sound is produced by placing a noteblock on top of clay or a honeycomb block. So it actually makes perfect sense why SC would be able to make a flute out of a candle with it being crafted from honeycomb. So the flute scene, in that way, is definitely consistent with actual Minecraft mechanics lol

Nice @rizmations

[Maniacal Murderer]

This backstory for the warden actually makes sense for its design. In ancient myth from real life golems we’re actually depicted be hulking monsters with a gaping hole as a face before in later art they were shown to have more human faces. Since the ancient cities are ancient it wouldn’t be out there for the warden to just be an older corrupted golem model.

[dragonslayer44]

WOW O-O

[SAMS J]

Gud @rizmations

[Yrrr]

Is the backstory canon?

[Paperully]

@Yrrr nah it's just Canon to Alan beckers version

[Rawlicious]

I cried at the flute scene with the warden, it showed him old memories of what used to be his life, his friends the villagers of his civilization, the layout itself is beautiful, how bright and friendly it used to be. Until whatever tragedy has bestowed them happened. The warden lost everything and almost himself, and his memories of those times came back with the song of the people he cared for

@Луиза Бакшалиева not those forbidden colors

[Šima]

With this new outlook on the warden you can be much more sympathetic. Considering its strength in the game and ancient design you could say it possibly predates the end dimension and is older than the ender dragon. And if it's named "the warden" it's obviously meant to protect something, not destroy it, and it still protects its home from intruders to this day.

[Tweek]

Protected the ancient builders from the wither maybe

[MrCyberlite]

Nah if ur comparing dragons with anything then dragons are the oldest And Yea the warden could be a protector of some sort

[Mandy Scott]

The Warden could be a type of Iron Golem. Golems can be made with anything, atleast from what I've seen. There's already a Snow Golem too

[the super gamer god(cats included)]

@Tweek correct

[Northern Alpine]

It could be an ancient Type of Golem that was Corrupted by The mycelium but somehow Remained functional

[VoidInsanity]

The fact you find music disks in the ruins just makes this even better in the terms that Mojang could actually bring a mechanic like this to soothe the warden

[ROLITO .G 243]

actually that is already implemented on the disc, during most of the playback you hear something but almost at the end it gets distorted and you can hear the end of a bunch of music, it's as if someone had taken the music disc and used it to record something over it from him, maybe there was a specific song about these ruins but we can't know how it is beyond the final notes because of this

[hypershadic11]

This is the perfect example of "show, don't tell." Even without words, Alan Becker has made something truly amazing, and he deserves way more credit for it.

[Quem é Gigi?]

I accept

[Sebastian Nasiescu]

Inded my friend, inded.

[Rishabh Datta Minecraft:Rivercape]

Also, show the warden don't tell him where you are

[Felicía Alexiz]

@fedham b

[striking Sarcophagus]

The Warden believes that everyone it knew was dead and as a result registers any sound in his old land as the sound of an intruder. However upon hearing the music only known by the friends of the ancients' past, it became aware that there was no threat.

[evanillus]

I’m not crying, you’re crying

[Ella Ella]

@evanillus How did you know?

[hiroshi watari]

How did you know?

[Itz_Senti [GD]]

no shit

[Xuanyi Zhao]

@evanillus How did you know? 😭😭😭

[Maniacal Murderer]

That flute sound soothing the warden and giving it flashbacks to what the ancient city was before was so wholesome. I hope it becomes the wardens actual lore.

[태원 김]

ㅇㅇ

[The United Admin Units]

Not quiet they said wardens were axolotls that were corrupted and the underground area were made by players

[Nate]

@The United Admin Units never heard this being said.

[ThatOneGuyCisco]

I like the Matpat theory of the Warden being something not from this dimension

[Nhale XHale]

it would be absolute awsome if this will become the wardens lore. Maybe they give us another dimension with these blue villagers and a friendly warden. And the only way to get through this portal would be either to defeat the warden or the sooth him with music. Maybe in that dimension there are whole other dangers from which the warden has protected the blue villagers

[MicaiahBaron]

I love how music has been such a strong motif (ironically) through this series; so many episodes about it, the cast's skill with it, and what a strong tool it is for them in victory.

[Mr. Papaveraceae]

Actually a great idea with a flute. Imagine that being an in game item as a way to 'soothe' the Warden.

[L.P.]

maybe other instruments to make noises that please the warden and not anger it6

[henry flintwood]

What if it was fake? Did someone notice that heart it's not a heart it's a soul that animals is inside what if axolotl matches with the warden the ear same like axolotl but I think the creator messed up this theory is confirmed hut hey its a theory a game theory

[mailingcat]

@henry flintwoodGodzilla had a stroke trying to read this and died

[niiko]

@henry flintwood did you have a stroke saying that

[AxlRoseST]

​@mailingcat english isn't my first language, so when i see stuff like that i think that my brain stopped working but thanks to people saying this i feel relief lol

[Kai Chen]

2:32 Perfect depiction of the horror Alan can produce

[Kai Chen]

You gotta go back a couple minutes for the build up though

[randomgamerguy]

no the true horror is when tsc throws away the golden apple and not the book

[IdioticLight]

@randomgamerguy well the apple wouldnt have helped much

[Nicky Lafaele]

The warden can one hit him even if he eats enchanted golden apple

[Bruno Bucciarati]

​@Nicky Lafaele quite understandable he got no armor

[Frenchie Sottises]

I know someone already said it here, but the idea of the warden just being an ancient iron golem is something I hope would be canon. I've seen the simple clay golems before, and they don't have any specific features, so the warden would fit right in. Speaking of fitting in... the warden could also be a reference to Haniwa, which are basically the kind of gyroids you'd see in Animal Crossing. Haniwa were clay figurines used to protect the dead from evil spirits, and they were believed to have spirits reside in them. Now that I think about it, it could be possible that the spirits residing in the wardens are those who once lived in the ancient cities. Haniwa aren't exactly known to house evil spirits, just those who they're made to protect. It would mean the wardens are plagued by sorrow and guilt, and combine that with the intense isolation of the deep underground, it's no wonder why the wardens attack everything they hear.. Did I read too deep? Yeah, but it's fun.

[Los Pendejos]

[meow]

i like this theory

[dkskcjfjswwwwwws]

seems to just be bones reanimated with souls

[Spirit&Vox]

Considering that the copper golem was one of the candidates for Mob Vote 2021, it'd be interesting to see a golem that's made of clay (or deepslate) besides the old Iron Golem and Snow Golem.

[G0thicus]

I love the idea that the Warden wasn't the reason for the ancient cities no longer having civilizations. It's basically the if the iron golems lost their only purpose. It's depressing, and I have a feeling the King is gonna be a reason behind it.

[DarkFireType]

Honestly with how we see the portals act in both season 1 and in later episodes, it makes sense how the warden's backstory is so different compared to what we are given lore wise to the base game. Desktop nether portals are gateways into other minecraft universes where the laws of reality and history of each world vary vastly. The note block world, skyblock world, and Monster School world are examples in how everything can be different compared to the base game. The warden being the peaceful guardian of this underground civilization of people rather than (according to theories) an infestation of semi-sentient skulk that forced a civilization to abandon the deep dark strongholds would be the difference in histories that these worlds have.

[Leekit]

Honestly, I'm more into the idea that the Warden was the protector of the ancient cities and was corrupted by the sculk and made into a monster by it.

[Franklin Rocha]

Alan crossed the barriers of a simple fun animation to a possible direct influence not only in the community of Minecraft players, but that could also affect Mojang's future creative decisions. I hope she brings that background to Warden!!

[Val]

Honestly, after seeing the whole series (which was absolutely amazing btw.) I think this is still by far my favorite episode. With both the fight scene and a look into the wardens past, just a masterpiece.

[Plaza]

I LOVE THESE ANIMATIONS! PLEASE MAKE MORE!

[Xenoman924]

1st

[Nogai]

Here before this explodes

[LINE BLOB]

[Christina Chen]

“MAKE MORE!” Bruh, there’s like- 24 more episodes…. But yes, it is very good!

[capjay45]

He is making more

[Clean Deeds]

Coming back to this, its amazing how well this fits the lore of the ancient cities and the warden. It would be amazing if this was canon and Alan was credited.

[Theghostinyourshower]

AW THE WAY HE PORTRAYED THE WARDEN BEING COMPLETELY RELIANT ON SOUND EVEN STANDING STILL MID FIGHT IS JUST MWA PERFECT

[Richar3D]

I really love it, love how you gave some lore for the Warden and the Ancient City, which is by far the most interesting structure in the game imo, and the animation itself looks really good in this. You never fail to impress dude, nice work.

[Steals_Your_Skills TO]

Man I find myself rewatching those videos over and over again. And the more I watch them I find more and more small details which makes me realize how much effort and thinking you put in those videos. Even small moments like watching orange finding a chest a full of useless items yet make use with all of them is so entertaining. I love the warden's backstory and the music so much and it's just 8 minutes long video. Im sooo hyped for episode 29 I really wish I could put into words how much I enjoy those videos, sometimes I even scream out of enjoyment and hype. The fight scenes are always so EPIC and the characters are sooo smart. Also the fact that every character has his own personallity and talent. The way it materialized's so well done.... In the final scene of orange and red's argument, I had tears. Never thought a stickman fights videos could make me actually cry. Also the way they just didn't give a sh** about their hunger and the dozens of zombies that came for them because they're just too op, and they just kept fighting each other AAAHHHHHHHH SO EPIIICCCC

[BappØ is me]

The amount of terrifying strength the warden can output here is insane

[iCraft]

*Hands down the best Minecraft related video i've seen this year!!!* 👍

[matex]

verified guy with 10 likes? understandable

[Just a Dragon name Marcus]

Actually there's more minecraft related out there

[arhiA]

Disagreed. Order of the sword is the best minecraft vid this year

[NotKiller]

Mhm

[ElUr Vest-Chan]

It would be really good if they added something like the flute to reassure the warden with a melody, it also makes some sense about the villagers since the warden was a type of golem and became like that because of the catalyst expansion which is causing the warden blocks to expand, :)

[Samm]

Scott Buckley did an amazing job with that flute part. Added to that is an impressive animation. Props to Alan and his team. Happy New Year!

[joshyawesome]

5:34 this might genuinly be the wardens in game backstory though

[Flame Rod Barrel]

Well no but to me it's more of a way better theory for the Warden unlike most people who theorize that The Warden is the cause of the city being abandoned.

[Electric Pepperoni]

@Flame Rod Barrel We have the wither for that already and it makes sense. Maybe the warden was an old golem model corrupted by skulk. Combining both the theories

[Aruka]

@Flame Rod BarrelIt’s such a cliché, though. A backstory like that would give us more depth

[F in chat]

I don't think so. The warden is made from bone like material and has souls in it.

[Fabio Reyes]

What a way to turn a chill game into a a suspense and terror one, great work man

[JustAStranger]

Imagine if that existed like a special crafting table for the ‘warden flute’ using a stick and a candle and to make the warden flute you needed to surround one of those warden radar things with 4 obsdian cross wise and 4 dragon eggs in the last spots to make the ancient warden table using the warden flute you could tame the warden by playing a rhythm game using the flute with a 50% success rate, as well as using the dragon breath potion to make the warden stronger. Edit: okay i didn’t know that you can only get one egg even after so yeah instead of dragon eggs the skulk catalyst would be a better substitute and then for the notes to actually play it you need to find enchanted books in ancient city or a rare drop from killing a warden there would be 5 total books 1 for actually taming the warden the other 4 is follow and attack, stay, set spawn for the warden’s home, wander (can only wander around in a 25x25 radius of where you set its home at if none it can wander anywhere) ty for telling me!

[A-List Gamer]

You can only ever get 1 dragon egg pet world

[Redlegendpiere5]

Just instead put End Stone instead of Dragon eggs cus WHO WOULD FIGHT THE ENDER DRAGON 4 TIMES JUST FOR 1 WARDEN FLUTE

[A]

@A-List Gameryou can revive the ender dragon

[A]

@Redlegendpiere5 its actually pretty worth it, i find the warden way more difficult then the ender dragon

[Redlegendpiere5]

@A Its not gonna be Worth it Just do the Easier way instead of it

[AndreasFraDK]

this went from horror, to wholesome, to depressing to action, i've felt every emotion during this video.

[DEATHDROID 3113]

Where is the depressing part

[AndreasFraDK]

@DEATHDROID 3113 All the villagers are gone and the warden feels lonely.

[ToastStar]

@DEATHDROID 3113 and orange throwing the notch apple

[Blazing]

@ToastStar LOL

[oddly Black hat]

@ToastStar rip notch apple your sacrifice will be remembered

[TRON]

I love the little detail where TSC sings Pigstep on his candle flute, telling the warden a short summary of what happened. Would say it’s referring the episode “The Ultimate Weapon”.

[skibbledebabble]

i dont think hes playing pigstep onb the flute

[TRON]

@skibbledebabble yes he did 5:59 -_-

[skibbledebabble]

@TRON i dont think thats pigstep

[TRON]

@skibbledebabble Maybe listen closely and you’ll hear it. Unless you didn’t actually hear what pigstep sounds like. Its a short high pitched orchestra which is pigstep. So yes it is

[skibbledebabble]

@TRON i know what pigstep sounds like and that did not sound even close to pigstep to me

[ChillVibes]

I absolutely love your idea of the lore for the warden. Turning him into the original protector of the village like iron gollems

[Kevin T]

Oh my Lord, the way the brass version of the Warden's theme when he started riding it - the music in these is simply amazing! I've almost gotten used to the brilliant animation, but I'm still blown away by the sound and music

[Handsome James’ Grand Internet Adventure]

It has no right to be as good as it is. The quality, the animation, the plot. I don't know, I'll just say "good job"

[Spikebeat]

this honestly feels so real. whenever i watch a video like this, it gives me a sensation where it feels like the characters aren't acting and the entire video and the emotions characters go through is based on a true story

[Dominus Aedificabit]

Just imagine the Warden, being alone for thousands of years, reminding the times when his city and his friends were alive. When there was happines all around, but now all it's gone. Just being able to hear that song again must be enough for him. This is beautifull

[Archie Outdoors]

I have 4 ideas what will happen to him after they beat the king orange he will either go to monster school with the other monsters go back to another like village thing Go back with good orange. Or he will die

[Dominus Aedificabit]

@Archie Outdoors I think it would be cool if they move the villagers from the village blue and yellow found to the abandoned city and the Warden stays there to protect them.

[eren yeager🦎]

He'd not be made of souls

[Іван пірат]

@Archie Outdoors a

[BREADMAN]

thats some matpat stuff

[Rohnan Atkinson]

I love the creativity that goes into these episodes.

[SPYROS TSABOURIS]

5:02 That entire scene is one of my favorite moments in this entire series

[Stacey Me]

Such a lovely lore idea. Well made.

[Bartu]

What a fun video to watch! This backstory of the warden is so good that it could be the actual lore. Edit: I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks this! I never would have been able to afford to travel as much as I did without Mighty 😤 Travels 💕 Premium.

[Alix]

lol you put "edit" in your original comment to plug some travel thing?

[Lololol4324]

@Alix it's a bot that steals comments and adds the travel thing

[💚HumbugThe_Gamingmonster🖤]

Ok here is my idea, The flute would be a SUPER rare chest item that only would spawn in 1 in 80 ancient city’s. The flute would allow the player to tame a warden as a protector and doesn’t require food to stay alive but can be fed if desired. You can untame a warden by giving the warden a poisonous potato, you would have 5 seconds to crouch before the warden becomes untamed and back to a hostile mob.

[Spikebeat]

idk why anyone would untame the warden but ok

[niiko]

WHY WOULD ANYONE WANNA UNTAME A WARDEN

[StingerY234]

​@Spikebeat "practical jokes"

[Spikebeat]

@StingerY234 good point

[CEO of CEOs]

The fact this dude can animate Minecraft characters so well and make them move so fluidly and still manage to make them look natural is actually admirable

[Dr. Zulfiqur Ali]

And at least the animations aren't cards

[Lorenzo Segoloni]

Also in the fight you can clearly tell the warden is blind thanks to his talent

[Dude says Hi!]

they better not kill the warden off JUST AFTER WE MET HIM

[maged baz]

I agree with you on this, simply because the minecraft animation looks more flexible than the main characters them selfs

[Dude says Hi!]

@maged baz same but different i want him alive because they had a sad backstory hopefully alan gives them more of a purpose then killing them off

[Austin Morrison]

Another amazing video. No dialogue needed and we have a genuinely chilling introduction to one of the scariest mobs in Minecraft with an interesting backstory behind it.

[The_Oculus_Player]

I’ve been watching these videos for 3 years and I still love these videos. Keep up the great work.

[SmellTheL]

I'm really happy this channel is still doing well!

[Jhye Blinco]

This has to be one of my favourite videos Alan has made, it is absolutely amazing!! With how he depicts the Warden, the music, everything!! And not to forget the story so far. I love these videos, they make my day

[Koaly]

5:03 the flute scene made me feel like this warden used to be like the iron golem and would be great addition to Minecraft villages but with this twist of it being lost to time with the cover up of skulking forgetting its kind and what it used to protect but now with no sense of right or wrong hurts everything it sensed. Good job Alan u really know how to make us feel so inspired and great when watching these animations :>

[meow]

i have the same theory, and i think it'd be really cool if this is the actual lore of the warden

[Resonance & Amplitude]

The very fact that Alan made the Warden and its abilities and features so accurately literally 3 months before it actually came out makes me wonder if he has an inside person within Mojang.

[Rafelandroid2]

no Mojang simply loves Alan's AvM

[Rattly]

eh, i'll say it's 50% accurate.

[Metamega]

maybe it’s just like captainsparkles’s music videos where theres also a pig civilization in the nether then mojang got inspired on it

[EndknightZeeper Mods]

@Metamega but we still can't use the ender as a weapon,and still no nether invasion

[Metamega]

@EndknightZeeper Mods a rideable ender dragon would be cool but imagine having an army of ender dragons if you keep respawning it lol

[Rose Verdict]

going back and rewatching this, I can hear the flute motif that's actually from the warden's memories/past in DOWNRIGHT EVERY PIECE OF THE SCORE ON THIS THING. *THE MUSICAL FORESHADOWING IS OFF THE C H A R T S*

[theGamingSOLDAT]

Here I am getting emotional over an incredible backstory for the warden 🥺 AB, you’re absolutely incredible

[AbsAlfSohe]

Incredible scene with the villagers, if it’s true it’s so wonderful what the city was before.

[JG Animation]

Massive respect for this channel given they were able to take a clickbait thumbnail and make it not clickbait

[GreatSoulNight]

The effort on your vid is clear, & its lovely to see and introducing folks to games, infact the whole series in spite of each entries different strengths and weaknesses, or strokes for folks, its nice I started out w 3h, and got into 4 & 5 (even sank my teeth into things like the manual + made a vid for those 2), those 3 are the ones that spoke to me most, tho I've also tried SoV, 7, & 3, they're fine, just less of what I like, whilst someone may feel the opposite which is perfectly okay! Also note, or atleast from what I heard: RD's story issues may be due to translation issues, apparently its script was based off the japanese easy mode ver cuz apparently easy has a simpler script than anything above, weird if true?

[Ansonridesfast]

I actually love the idea that the warden is the last remnant of a long forgotten civilization rather than the thing that destroyed it. I've seen other game theories say the warden is the destroyer but this new concept actually has some merit.

[Kaeljadon Davis]

Wait... then what broke through the warden...?

[Ansonridesfast]

@Kaeljadon Davis well think about it this way. If a village on the surface were to be wiped out by some unknown threat. Maybe disease, who knows. The only thing that would remain would be the iron golems. They would spent eternity wandering the ghost town endlessly. I suspect that something similar happened to the ancient cities here.

[◀Lailou12▶]

Pretty neat considering the meaning of warden is a "person or thing that supervises a place" *BUT HEY* *ITS JUST A TH- *gets shot cutely**

[EndIngot]

Exactly, if the warden is the destroyer why does it reside at the place that it destroyed?

[Raccoon]

I feel as if the ancient cities were built because of the outbreak of zombies that ravaged the overworld villages so the ancient builders made these underground cities to get the villagers away from the outbreak and relocate them were it wouldn't effect them. Building the warden to protect against any subterranean mobs. But soon after a unknown fungi infected and killed the underground villagers and morphed the warden into an abomination. The villagers flesh became infused with skulk and nothing but their skulls remained from them. Now all that is left from the great city is the massive stone architecture infested with skulk. And the warden, the last evidence of the fallen cities population.

[Anonymous Hugs]

Imagine what would've happened if Green was the one trapped with a flute

[Retro]

It appears every block has a varying magical potential, but it can only be activated by using an enchanted staff

[StoneDragonX]

Bro, imagine what could be done if the note block was attached

[Retro]

@StoneDragonX oh... Maybe they could make a video about it

[Kingbonez0626]

No, Alan confirmed that the staff extracts energy from the block and the better the block the better the power like how when red uses it with the gold block it’s used as a light staff but when he uses the netherite block it’s more heavier and has more power behind its hits

[Amazin Earth]

Love how at the start, there is a second of the pigstep remix playing

[3D96]

Rrr

[Ask]

i love how easily the warden could have won by just grabbing the king instead of throwing him away, but plot armor is too op

[Del Demmonet]

I love this idea, but I would have loved to know how Alan would have made the warden knowing that it’s actually from another dimension and that it’s called warden because it protects the skulk not the ancient city and that the skulk is actually a self aware organism invasive from another dimension.

[Neuro Negative]

Its still so crazy to me thinking about how far alan has come as an animator. So much dedication and passion you see less and less nowadays. Keep up the breathtaking work my mans!!

[Charthekiller228]

He is just incredible

[Soviet Federation]

@Charthekiller228 that he is indeed

[MacaronMunch]

I see what u mean, especially with ZHC, somethings lost on his channel

[musteren]

I love the idea of the warden being a corrupted golem. Until the devs revealed it was a mesh of dead souls, bones and sculk...

[Tetraxis]

Even though the deep dark only got added recently, this video adequately describes the sheer amount of terror you feel when the warden is nearby. Hopefully Mojang adds the flute-like instrument that is depicted here, its just too cute seeing the warden actually be calm. I also assume in this universe, minecrafts human race(like steve) has been replaced with the villagers.

[XAVIER]

It has been replaced by enderman

[XAVIER]

As they try to communicate with u but their voice are distorted

[人生詰んだ奴]

ウォーデンもゴーレムと同じで古代都市にいた村人を守るために生まれた本当は優しいやつなんだよな。

[Chensong Dong]

The episodes just keep getting better!

[TheRobloxGuyWhoPlaysRoblox]

True

[R.J Guerra]

1:03 I like how you can actually see the Warden drawing closer in the background

[SirTimidFlash]

Can we appreciate the fact that the Warden was made compassionate, instead of hostile, and yet he fights like a feral animal; but with WAY more precision than a thing that size should have.

[Rafelandroid2]

fighting like that has its uses Since the enemy doesn't know if you had education in fighting or not, your attacks can be extremely unpredictable and can absolutely destroy you if you aren't careful

[Nawfal_Index]

Agreed

[Asta S]

In other words he’s a gentle giant

[Nguyễn Viết Thái]

Smallest smallest smallest smallest coolest

[Xenomorph 2017]

There's no point taking combat stances when you're blind. You might as well go ham.

[Harshit poojari]

I know I'm late but,the way he used the music notes and warden's story he described was beyond PERFECTION ✨

[linnea]

I actually cried at the scene with the warden and the ancient city with the villagers. This was so beautiful.

[Гоша Шаповал]

That feeling when an amateur animator revealed the world of minecraft better than the developers themselves:

[wardina]

these will always be my favourite series.

[DruidPC]

Oh man, can you imagine a whole 3D Minecraft series by Alan?

[Gnarled]

I love how this all started as just some stick figures having a good time and now it’s gotten to the point where Alan could genuinely be writing Minecraft’s lore for them

[Stockton a level 1 goblin]

I love how before it attacks SC you can see the warden moving around in the background. And SC talking to the warden by drawing with notes was genius

[find the catto zone]

A long time, the fermented sculk structures left remained at the deep dark. The warden heard the echoes of the sculk, the warden rushed fast as like to TFL. Insane things keep happening subtaneously, TFL was nervously rushing to a tiny stern cave, recovering the song of the warden. The music started playing, consubstances, it happened. The sound of music, the warden of the deep dark, villagers were once apon back then, a guard, legacy, and beauty. The warden was incomplete silence and then hugged TFL, started talking music about the orange kind, then the warden helped TFL get out of the cave, went back to the nether portal. The king was looking for the command block but, orange and the warden were there, fighting the king's domain. Going left and right the intense happened, orange took the gold block, it ended.

[Reyleonidas]

Sería muy buena idea que se pudiera calmar al Warden con alguno de los cuernos de cabra que sea especial

[differentiationofloors]

man, time flies by. I remember the original AvM video being the newest and last one.

[An Idiotic Eyeball]

Words cannot express how I'm touched by this animation, this has alot of potential for not only the trilogy, but setting the lore in stone and if you think about it, Alan's take of the Warden's lore being told to us makes sense, that's what I love about this.

[felps21]

tem tanto potencial que até brasileiros assistem

[bangaroo]

7:28 i like how the warden just wrecklessly fights like its nothing but a few staggers and hard hits

[OmniMods]

this is great, and i love the fact that he used the piglin song just to animate the warden fighting the other orange

[Qwerty]

the wardens hearing is so good it can hear the colours of the notes and what shapes they make

[ToasterFrog 3000]

I hope using music to calm the warden down becomes a thing in 1.20 (or in a future update).

[Nhale XHale]

this story has to be told, how great would it be to build a map with the ancient city in its fully life with a friendly warden (maybe a mod) and villagers who live there

[iStealth]

Alan really never disappoints... best animator in the world!!!

[OP | LEON]

Yea

[hunter0827]

who remembers when this guy made .io videos

[Shlaqlu]

Definitly, this one was really emotional too

[Andy Briseno]

Yes! 👍🏻

[Райн Greyn 🇷🇺]

👍👌 Best Animator!!!!!!!

[E=MC²]

the fact that this was made about 8 months before the wild update came is incredible

[Gappl]

Still, its based off of the snapshots

[Gabriel Zeiger]

It's the ancient melody titled "Ye Olden Days o' Yore" played by Jebediah; a famous troubador who managed to defeat the Warden the best way possible: By making them his friend... Even after countless warriors fell by the great strength and ferocity of the mighty Warden, in the end it was the love and harmony through the music he played that ended the war!

[asher mustafa]

So the warden was like iron golems but his village died ...but his determination to protect his people remained unchanged, transforming him into an undead

Man played Pigstep to show they can work together. That’s a cool detail.

[TyrePlayz]

this video has no words to say about this, absolutely perfect

[Comical Realm]

I like how Alan calls these shorts. These aren't shorts, they're cinematic masterpieces

[Jayce Hakizimana]

True

[Flame]

True

[Malcky]

These shorts does feel like an normal episode.

[erick Hanzen]

@Malcky Very true

[Ice Crystal]

True

[Finlay Buchan]

My sister and I both agree that this was one of the more nerve-wracking episodes in the series, especially when the Warden vanishes after first chasing SC, and then abruptly bursts out of the ground at 2:33...

flute part is so good. keep doing this. its worth rewatching.

[-Commit-arson-]

I like how well orange commands the warden He’s learned from being a Pokémon trainer

[Mehdi]

I tear up every time at 05:00, it hits deep. Bravo 👏

[Dr_John09]

The little flute remix of pigstep to explain second coming's plan to beat King Orange was such a nice touch

[VanFic]

The way Alan Becker portrays what the Old Builder's civilization is literally just the best thing ever. He probably did some research on Game Theorist first before making the story lmao

[Hooman]

is it? I thought it was an underground village with the Warden being a type of golem for the underground

[Bugra Yediel]

@Hooman isnt that what game theory said

[🔹athish vr🔹]

💙💙

[Vikram Sharma]

@Hooman It is depicted underground in the video. The background is cobblestone during the flashback.

[Roadhog360]

I always like a story where the "big scary creature" is just misunderstood and doesn't speak the same language, and is actually not mean at all. Big beasts have feelings too!

[Owori]

I seriously wish that the warden flashback was actually cannon in the real game, that would be awesome!

[cheese gaming]

keep in mind, sculk sensors and the warden can hear footsteps. you need to sneak to bypass it.
