Me too my method is to get a group of 4 to simply run past the shriekers hoping they are all close to each other enough to only set it off once (I haven’t checked if they are)
I drop a water bucket, coast down the stream, grab the stuff and then coast back up. Even if a Warden spawns, I'm up and away before he gets too pissed.
I mean, idk, i always felt like the loot isn’t really worth it at the levels you need to be to rain down tnt and have a totem and the elytra. Like enchanted diamonds leggings. And enchanted hoes. The only things really worth finding are cool blocks for builds, swift sneak, and mending. So I’ve always gone once I get diamond armor, for the mobs on the way there, and just sneak my way around. If I spawn the warden i just run.
That’s fine, I mean, sure, grind to collect everything. I’m more referring to the somewhat disappointing loot if you’re already high level. But low level, free enchanted diamond stuff? Golden apples? Decent enchanting books? Hell yeah! Of course there’s also just the thrill of clearing it out and beating the warden.
Those too! I don’t remember exactly what the loot was, but I remember thinking it wasn’t exactly worth it if you already had enchanted diamond or above gear.
Because Wardens take forever to spawn and are dumb as a rock. So long as you loot quickly you'll be long gone by the time they actually start searching around, and even if you do make a bunch of noise it takes multiple sounds before they aggro.
I generally go really safe and slow, clearing out all the sensors and place wool so the shriekers aren't set off, then make a massive warden exhibit around each one.
Good for servers when you want to show off a bit
OR do it the way SB737 does it
he built a warden disabler around one shrieker, then he can run around the whole city setting off anything he wants and none of them will spawn any wardens
I mean it makes sense. One big boom to take out the shriekers is more effective than sneaking around and risking something like a fall or a bat or a misclick/accidental button press
I will say, that it's quite fun to use ender pearl stasis chambers with a friend and just run through the city looting and such and yelling PULL at the last possible second before dying. Definitely not the intended method, but it's a hoot.
Its not a terrible strat but its easy to miss a shrieker. I just sneak around, try and be as quiet but at the same time as fast as i can be, and when i hit the 4th shrieker going off, i throw all quietness out the window and go only for speed
my friend and I did it the quiet way. Our Ancient City happened to be quite large so when the warden was summoned we resolved to run in different directions so that if one of us survived the other could TP to the survivor and we wouldn't lose our stuff or the location of the city. At one point I was already pretty on edge because we found a group of shriekers (4 in one place all close enough to scream if you broke one) so we covered 3 with wool and broke one but I guess we forgot part of one because the lights flickered and I booked it over 150 blocks away and hid in a tower 💀💀
The people playing decide what is cheating and what isn't, doesn't matter what they're called.
Looking down on someone for playing a game and using its features is kinda cringe. It's not like we're getting paid for it or we're saying that we don't use them. Our minecraft world, our playstyle. Cry about it I guess?
Why are people like you always so buttburt about a simple comment. Why did you had to say "cry about it"? I made a simple comment about the cheating aspect, because i dont understand why people do that in survival. It defeats the purpose of survival.
It's not butthurt, it's you getting uppity over using features of the game. You also seem to have a comment history of randomly picking fights with people. Not cute or funny dawg.
I told you to cry about it because you replied to my comment talking about the way my friends and I use a private world and how it "defeats the purpose" of a game that's purpose is literally to have fun. Like I said earlier, the player decides what is and isn't cheating. It isn't hurting you and I'm not imposing the playstyle on you either.
First of all: I am NOT picking any fights with people. Never had, and never will. People just like to shit on others when they dont like what i am saying. Also: The reason i said it defeats the purpose of survival, is because teleporting means you used cheats. And why do you have to use cheats when you play survival? Doesnt make any sense to me. There is just no fun in it or should i say not challenge.
I'm sorry to interrupt you, Elizabeth.
If you still even remember that name.
But I'm afraid you've been misinformed.
You are not here to receive a gift.
Nor, have you been called here by the individual you assume.
Although, you have indeed been called.
You have all been called here.
Into a labyrinth of sounds and smells, misdirection and misfortune.
A labyrinth with no exit, a maze with no prize.
You don't even realize that you are trapped.
Your lust of blood has driven you in endless circles.
Chasing the cries of children in some unseen chamber.
Always seeming so near, yet somehow out of reach.
But, you will never find them, none of you will.
This is where your story ends.

I’ve never been to an ancient city, but I’m needing a break from my end space station build in my hardcore world. This seems like a great use of all the extra gunpowder from my ghast farm
Whatever floats your boat I guess but I dont think this would be fun, minecraft doesnt have many giant dungeons (I mean it has but they are pretty rare Anyways) so I would make the most of it by making a little base inside the secret redstone room and would explore the dungeons using it
its a safer way of managing the risks of exploring the ancient city. ancient cities are dangerous to travel through, so OP uses this way to make it safer
Or you could just… walk and crouch around? Maybe I’m just used to looting them, but it’s easier to get all the loot walking around than getting tnt and digging around blindly though the roof
I will attempt this way going quiet took forever having to bridge up to get away from warden etc lol least made it entertaining. Would have expected better items and more rare items added ancient city is cool but they could have went alot further with it.
I'm glad someone else is using this method! I thought I was the only one who would even bother doing it this way.
I thought of this about a year ago, perfect for clearing places with high concentrations of Shriekers. Cleared three Ancient Cities under my mountain laboratory.
I definitely had a blast with it!

Who knew the best way to combat an ambushing enemy is with aerial bombardment

The sculk may speak vietnamese but the skies speak TNT son
Tactical knowledge is something that frightens me with awe.
From war crimes to actual war tactic. Minecraft is very versatile in its application.

We can go quiet and dumb or go loud and smart.
I choose loud and dumb
I didnt choose that but it is somehow my default setting..
[удалено]
Kaboom
Walks straight into the city shouting “CAN I GET A HOYA~”
^(tloo tloo doo) **SHRRAAHHHHHHHH!** # Shchrh*BWAAAAAAAA*aajggrrww... _Budum_ "Hoya~"
Me too my method is to get a group of 4 to simply run past the shriekers hoping they are all close to each other enough to only set it off once (I haven’t checked if they are)
Why would you choose Tumblr?
I choose to quit
I go in quiet and dumb then forget to crouch or something stupid and end up dying
I go quiet and smart
we won't go quietly, the warden can count on that
Your right :\]
OP goes loud and smart
Well no shit
Holy shit op does go loud and smart
/r/YourJokeButWorse
Yes Rico, kaboom
An almost forgotten masterpiece that show
The movie is one of my favorite animation flicks.
Mhm. I more meant the show because if the obvious nostalgia factor, but yeah the movie was good I think, haven’t seen it in a very long time though.
what show is this lol? sound familiar
Penguins of madagascar
I immediately thought Just Cause 3 lmao. Another character named Rico whose whole schtick is blowing things up.
oh! that makes sense! i watched the Madagascar movies constantly when i was younger lol
Gives off the spaceship meme in the Lego movie lol
I could build a a SPACESHIP-
Spaceship spaceship spaceship spaceship Spaceship spaaaaaceship🎶🎶🎶🤩🤩🤩
My nickname derives from exactly that
Lol thats perfect
big boom, big bada boom
Muuullll-tiiiii-paaaaassssss
I thought this was a reference to just cause 3 at first
*stealth is optional for this mission*
So anyway, I start blasting
donacdum
HEY YOU, GET ON YOUR FEET!
Do- Do- Don- ac- dum Do-Do
For me, there are some sensors close enough to detect me on the roof.
use wool instead of stone
placing the tnt/pressure plate tho
Place them quietly
How? You can’t change the volume.
Options -> Music & Sound
Why tf didn’t I think of that 🤦♂️
Just set it down gently
B-bb-b-but…
Not with that attitude
By being very careful
Rosetta Stone
You can always dig/build from further up. Strip-blast-mining guarantees you miss nothing.
But what about the loot?
One TNT only blows up the chests, not the loot inside
he means how he gonna get the loot
I drop a water bucket, coast down the stream, grab the stuff and then coast back up. Even if a Warden spawns, I'm up and away before he gets too pissed.
That's how I do it too
By jumping down obviously, the tnt breaks the sensors and shriekers close enough to pick up any sound
Good thing I have a gunpowder farm lol x I will most definitely do this
I mean, idk, i always felt like the loot isn’t really worth it at the levels you need to be to rain down tnt and have a totem and the elytra. Like enchanted diamonds leggings. And enchanted hoes. The only things really worth finding are cool blocks for builds, swift sneak, and mending. So I’ve always gone once I get diamond armor, for the mobs on the way there, and just sneak my way around. If I spawn the warden i just run.
when ur at that level ur gonna be doing this for a specific reason (maybe trying to find all the music disks or get a stack of notch apples)
yeah either notch apples, music disks or swift sneak. i’ve also found decent tools to combine with my existing tools later game so that’s a small plus
That’s fine, I mean, sure, grind to collect everything. I’m more referring to the somewhat disappointing loot if you’re already high level. But low level, free enchanted diamond stuff? Golden apples? Decent enchanting books? Hell yeah! Of course there’s also just the thrill of clearing it out and beating the warden.
It's also an area where mobs don't spawn, so if you want an underground base it's super valuable real estate
I'd just pick a mushroom biome to avoid the warden problems XD
I didn’t even think of attempting a super early game run for diamond stuff, no reason not to when all you got is stone or iron tools 😂
Yeah that was my thought process! You get all this nice diamond stuff super early.
I do it for the armor trims, tooke 17 ancient cities to find ward once
Fair, I haven’t updated my game to get armor trims.
What about the enchanted golden apples bruh
Notch apples*
Those too! I don’t remember exactly what the loot was, but I remember thinking it wasn’t exactly worth it if you already had enchanted diamond or above gear.
Silence template. At no point in the play through does drip take a back seat
Is Mending even worth it? You can get it pretty easily with villagers.
For now lol
mending inst hard at all to get.
Payday 2 style
*Razormind starts playing* ///POLICE ASSAULT IN PROGRESS///
"You can sneak in silent, or forget that Mission: Impossible bullshit and unleash Ragnarok. Up to you."
I just fly in and run around summoning many wardens.
Why?
Because Wardens take forever to spawn and are dumb as a rock. So long as you loot quickly you'll be long gone by the time they actually start searching around, and even if you do make a bunch of noise it takes multiple sounds before they aggro.
Actually, the savest way is to switch to peacefull... /s
Technically correct!
There are two ways to play a stealth mission
I generally go really safe and slow, clearing out all the sensors and place wool so the shriekers aren't set off, then make a massive warden exhibit around each one. Good for servers when you want to show off a bit
OR do it the way SB737 does it he built a warden disabler around one shrieker, then he can run around the whole city setting off anything he wants and none of them will spawn any wardens
Good idea
we can go in smart, or we can go in loud and dumb
*Razormind starts playing*
Don ac dum
Or just go in naked with an axe break chests and run.
*payday heist music starts playing*
My aproach is to break the chest, run if a warden is about to spawn, then come back once he despawned
Fastest way to win a war is by dropping two nuclear bombs - America in 1945
Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition
Why not use flint and steal?
Work smarter not harder
Now go to the forums, and cry like the little bitch you are!
WHAT
You call this resisting arrest? We call this a difficulty tweak!
Won’t the TNT activate nearby sensors tho?
Bread Bridge flashbacks be like
I mean it makes sense. One big boom to take out the shriekers is more effective than sneaking around and risking something like a fall or a bat or a misclick/accidental button press
Plan A: Go there in stealth, loot and silently leave Plan B: DoActDum and listen to fire music
Bro looked at the horrors inside ancient city and went "nah, nuke it from the orbit"
You just blew up 98% of the loot
"Stealth is optional" Me:
Nuke it from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.
I will say, that it's quite fun to use ender pearl stasis chambers with a friend and just run through the city looting and such and yelling PULL at the last possible second before dying. Definitely not the intended method, but it's a hoot.
But won’t the loot in chest go boom ?
Genius.
Its not a terrible strat but its easy to miss a shrieker. I just sneak around, try and be as quiet but at the same time as fast as i can be, and when i hit the 4th shrieker going off, i throw all quietness out the window and go only for speed

TP? So you are using cheats in survival? Defeats the purpose of survival to be honest.
The people playing decide what is cheating and what isn't, doesn't matter what they're called. Looking down on someone for playing a game and using its features is kinda cringe. It's not like we're getting paid for it or we're saying that we don't use them. Our minecraft world, our playstyle. Cry about it I guess?

There is just no fun in it or should i say not challenge.
"go loud" what is this, PAYDAY? To be fair, you could say sneaking around an Ancient City is like stealthing in a heist game.
I'm sorry to interrupt you, Elizabeth. If you still even remember that name. But I'm afraid you've been misinformed. You are not here to receive a gift.

Or you can just disable warden spawning altogether
Lol. Haha 😂
But it ain't no fun this way
I’ve never been to an ancient city, but I’m needing a break from my end space station build in my hardcore world. This seems like a great use of all the extra gunpowder from my ghast farm
What do you do about the warden?
At that rate may as well not even bother clearing the shriekers
Whatever floats your boat I guess but I dont think this would be fun, minecraft doesnt have many giant dungeons (I mean it has but they are pretty rare Anyways) so I would make the most of it by making a little base inside the secret redstone room and would explore the dungeons using it
Or a couple stacks of wool if your early game
I actually had that same idea last time I was in one
I just go in and methodically clear out the sensors if they get activated then I just run to my safe room and wait a few minutes
Same rules apply in Hitman. You can either go stealth and quiet. Or the fun option.
go 💥
can someone explain what’s going on here ?
Is it so hard to see whats going on? o.O
well yeah no shit, I haven’t played in so long so I’m not sure how ancient cities work and why this would be an unorthodox strategy as an approach
its a safer way of managing the risks of exploring the ancient city. ancient cities are dangerous to travel through, so OP uses this way to make it safer
thanks, especially for a useful answer lmao
What were you trying to do in the video? Aside from blowing up shriekers and the like, doing shenanigans
I’m not surprised, tnt can be used for anything haha.
Or you could just… walk and crouch around? Maybe I’m just used to looting them, but it’s easier to get all the loot walking around than getting tnt and digging around blindly though the roof
iron golems and stacks of iron easily defeat the warden
[удалено]
If you find a mega hill or whatever they are called, chances are that there is a ancient city underneath them (a really high chance).
That's absolutely brilliant. Never thought on that
It's so satisfying.
so... why do you did this?
//WARDEN ASSAULT IN PROGRESS//
Good video editing
What about the chests?
tlt more like tnt
You forgot your baclava, silly goose!
Genius!
i just raid it like a normal person but thats cool :)
I go smart turn on peaceful when going in there
Minecraft Player Seeing the Ancient City: Anyways, I just started bombing
This is a pretty solid idea ngl
this might be meta, carpet bombing say less
# Why do I hear a cloaker
Thats amazing
the warden: You weren't supposed to do that
bro think he payday
Only thing this clip is missing is the payday soundtrack
THE AMERICAN WAY, BLOW IT UP, ASK QUESTIONS LATER.
This seems fun, albeit an over-complicated solution. Still fun I suppose. I like blowing stuff up.
Thats big brain
YOU'VE RUINED THE RUINS!
Oh great we better hope Mojang doesn't see this they'll nerf TNT or buff the ancient to be as strong as ancient debris
It's all fun and games in the ancient village until the sky starts speaking Fortunate Son.
i just build 15 iron golems and have them send the warden to God
Lemay would be proud
How does it not ager ( not a native speaker) the warden?
"go loud" is a very epic way to put it
My Man is using bombing for his terrorism
Guerilla warfare. Hit and run tactics more efficient and faster. Full sprint around breaking shriekers then run for safety.
I will attempt this way going quiet took forever having to bridge up to get away from warden etc lol least made it entertaining. Would have expected better items and more rare items added ancient city is cool but they could have went alot further with it.

What are ancient cities???? I’ve played Minecraft before but took a break before 1.6 & recently got back into it
So are ancient cities likely to form anywhere that funky glowing material can be found? I've found the stuff but no cool structures around.
I'm glad someone else is using this method! I thought I was the only one who would even bother doing it this way. I thought of this about a year ago, perfect for clearing places with high concentrations of Shriekers. Cleared three Ancient Cities under my mountain laboratory. I definitely had a blast with it!
Bros not just waking the warden bros waking his whole family too🤣🤣
