Josh Plays: My Minecraft Hyrule Adventure Map - #4: Heading into Zoras Lands
updated
Then we try to partake in a bit of PvP, but we fail (aside from the arena duel) because I did not realize Anakin needed to invade me, and not the other way around!
I do invade a bunch of other random people though...
PS: I realize some people might feel like I cheated the system by doing co-op to defeat this boss, so I promise in the future I will use a Bonfire Ascetic to try to conquer this boss solo!

Part 2 in 2026. (AKA 2nd half of the game, Anor Londo, the Four Lord Souls, the DLC and the Kiln of the First Flame.)
Shoutout to the bastard who just casually sampled the Big Smoke order for his song's intro without changing ANYTHING in it. Re-rendered without the background music. Oh by the way, that cutscene has a song in the background. Got the rights for THAT, buddy?
Editor's note ( @UGRRetribution) : blame the lack of cutaways on having no storage and not a lot of material yet, I got that sorted during editing. Not that it matters because who reads this.

I raged a lot when i lost all those souls.
I also do my first co-op here.
I did not seem to see many differences here compared to the PS3 version of this area.

Post-Stream Description:
Daaaamn, these levels had amazing level design!
I'm feeling like i'm experiencing peak right now!
The only part i did not like was the Snowmobile, controlling that s...t was so freaking annoying!
For some reason my neighbors were making a ton of ruckus during this stream.
Plus i had the longest session of fireworks ever to disturb me!
By the way, apparently if you do not shoot the monks, they won't become hostile in the Monastery level!
Although just a single shot will turn them against you. I think not shooting them accidentally might be almost impossible. The autoaim will probably fuck that up for you when you have to shoot at the thugs.
With the new enemy spawns of Scholar of First Sin, this area is ABSOLUTELY BRUTAL MAN.
Took me almost two hours to complete it. I died so many times, those white knights are no joke.
And they added a fucking endgame enemy here, the dragon!

I fight the first two bosses and explore and find items in this episode.
Both bosses were easy as fuck, but remember, I already played this game a lot when I was a teen, so bosses might be really easy for me. I will only find difficulty from the new enemy spawns and traps in the Scholar of the First Sin edition!

Maria Doria, longest set of levels so far!
After-Stream Description: I really loved these levels, amazing atmosphere, amazing graphics, creepy, and fun level design! Yeah, people complain that these levels are long as fuc... but hey as long as they are good who cares?
I streamed much longer than usual to finish this set of levels though, otherwise it would have been boring for me (and for you watching!) to spend another couple of streams in the same location lol.

Not much happens in this episode, just creating my character and then exploring the tutorial area, Things Betwixt.
My character for the last adventure was Big Smoke, focusing on heavy armor, shields, and using only clubs as weapons.
This time, i will play as Ganondorf, focusing on swords, lightning magic and fire magic!
To place the four Lord Souls in the Lordvessel, and go face with Lord Gwyn in the Kiln of the First Flame. This is the final battle. The boss was very easy. I only died the first few times because I kept doing dumb shit lol.
After defeating Lord Gwyn, we link the fire which will cure the undead curse, at least for a while. Technically, I missed one boss: I forgot to kill the Stray Demon in the Undead Asylum, but honestly, who the frick cares, it's just yet another reskin of the Asylum Demon.
PS: I also missed the double Sanctuary Guardian boss fight rematch, but it's the same as the first fight, just that there are two of them!
Thank you for watching this playthrough! This game was a fucking blast to play! See you guys on my next project!
Highlights in 2026.

I also killed both of them without any summons or co-op so that makes me very proud of myself!
I did not do co-op/PvP with Anakin2800 because he overleveled a lot (all the way to level 220!) so he was not eligible to play with me anymore (a lowly level 95), so I won't be able to showcase the arena with him. Oh well.

I defeat the first two bosses with ease, but the final boss will be a bit tough, so I will do that next time.
It's very cool though that you visit the Darkroot Forest in the past for the DLC!
PS: Hopefully next time, I will be able to try out this arena stuff with Anakin!

This area was really easy and mercifully short, and the boss was only moderately hard, thankfully I brought divine weapons with me this time!
PS: Wish I had found that secret bonfire in the catacombs before, sure would have made the runback to Pinwheel much easier!

Post-Stream Description: That underwater level was really freaking cool (and also nonsensical, why no diving gear and oxygen tank, Lara?!) and thank God i found where i needed to go almost immediately because that first room in 40 Fathoms is insanely huge! Imagine continuining to die over and over again!
To be honest, I only fought her because I wanted to experience every boss battle, otherwise I would have spared her since she really did not do anything hostile against us.
The battle was pretty easy once I figured the gimmick on how to reveal her. She has such a small health bar she went down like a chump!

This area is just a giant boss rush, isn't it?
This was kinda fun, not gonna lie, although all the recycled enemies got old eventually.
And then finally the Bed of Chaos. Which is actually a very easy boss for me since I was wearing heavy armor and had a really good shield. But I can see how someone playing as a character with no shield/little to no armor would hate this, you would get knocked all over the place and fall down the bottomless pits constantly!

These areas are very f..king cool! (Although the collisions in the Great Hollow are janky as fu...!)

Today, i'm analyzing and discussing the dungeons of both games, and ranking them according to my subjective tastes.
Hope you will enjoy this fun discussion while i showcase my Minecraft maps in the footage.

Enjoy!
A game I really enjoyed but there was a lot of janky unfair BS that made me tear my hair apart... Oh wait.
Loved the game, but there's definitely some first game syndrome going on here, because they definitely polished and removed the jank in subsequent entries.

This is a really freaking cool boss fight! It was not that hard, but concept wise it was sick!

And everytime you die, there's no bonfire so you have to deal with the annoying invisible floor BS in the Crystal Caves. Seriously, fuck this area and boss.
After that torture, I grinded a bit and leveled up to level 70, and maxed out the upgrades on my weapons and armor.
Then head back to New Londo Ruins to get revenge on the ghosts and lower the water level, finally!

I then head to the Duke's Archives, and eventually reach the Crystal Caves, which has to be one of the most annoying areas in this game. Who thought invisible floors were a good idea?

Then I place the Lordvessel in Firelink Shrine's altar and unlock three new areas, including the area behind that golden fog we saw in Anor Londo.
Now that I can teleport, I decided to check some areas told to me by Anakin2800. One of them being the area behind the closed door in Darkroot Forest. What will I find there?
Oh it's a doggie it's so cute! Oh shit it grabbed a knife OH SHIT!

Ornstein and Smough.
A double boss fight, a 2vs1, highly considered to be one of the hardest bosses in the game!
Somehow, i managed to do this without any summons or help! I'm quite proud of myself!
It was epic as fuck, although i would have never expected the winning strategy to be to hug a fucking pillar. What is this, World of Warcraft Arena?

There's one area that is absolute torture. It's pure bullshit. This area will make you tear your hair out (If I had any hair) lol!
The thumbnail will tell you all you need to know.
Anor Londo Archers... Now that's a word that will trigger PTSD in Dark Souls players.

It's been a year since our last session of Warzone. Back then, we got completely destroyed.
However, they added new game modes since then. It's now possible to play a Battle Royale Casual mode with both bots and players, which means it's easier and less punishing, aka we don't get destroyed in two seconds. They also added a new game mode called Havoc which is basically a Deathmatch with random modifiers - it reminds me of those GTA San Andreas Chaos Mods. They also added a training mode called Battle Royale Bootcamp, which is the same as the Battle Royale Casual except there are less teams and the map is much smaller.
We played six matches, and we actually got to third place in one of the Battle Royale Casual matches, and won the two Bootcamp sessions! I think we improved at the game! (Or maybe these game modes are that much easier?)
PS: In early July, there was also another game mode called Clash, which was basically a 50vs50 deathmatch with objectives to claim. Too bad we couldn't play it today! It got removed just a few weeks ago. Oh well! Hopefully it will return in the rotation!

Then, Anakin2800 also joins my world and we take down the Depths area boss, the Gaping Dragon, together!
(I also finally unlocked the normal Blighttown entrance, lol!)
We then conclude this special episode with a duel to death between me and Anakin2800 - who will win?

The area is pretty difficult, but the boss fortunately is an absolute joke, i don't even think it took me 20 seconds to kill him.
The area past the Catacombs, the Tomb of Giants, is so dark that I decided it would be best if I just returned another time, when I have a light source available.

(Still love all the games tho!)
Chris Redfield would loooove this area.
However, the boss of this area was a real pushover, i managed to down him on my first attempt!
PS: Fuck the developers for that mechanism that rotates the boulders. It lulls you into a false sense of security, then the boulders change direction again to fuck with you again!

After that, I explore the Demon Ruins for a bit, get completely obliterated by the Ceaseless Discharge gigantic demon, and give up on the Demon Ruins.
Then I return to the Blacksmith and prepare myself for Sen's Fortress.

I also got invaded and destroyed by another guy pimped out in epic armor.
The main entrance of Blighttown can only be opened from the outside so I wasn't able to see where it was. I will still have to use the back entrance for now.
The fire spider lady will have to wait for next time.

Post-Stream Description: Had to cut things short, real life was calling. Oh well at least i completed the Oil Rig level!
I made some progress and got to the bottom area of Blighttown, the poisonous Swamp!
I still had to look up a walkthrough a few times. The layout of this area was very confusing and I had no idea I could ride the waterwheels!
Get a Josh Ryuk channel membership for a neat badge near your name in the comments/chats:
youtube.com/channel/UCGI7gODo5ZrHEcbmYVMb1dQ/join
In the end, I had to use a walkthrough, only to figure out that:
1) I was not supposed to be here yet, no wonder I was finding this excruciatingly difficult!
2) I cannot complete this area anyway right now! I need to come back here later! This was a complete waste of time!
Oh and by the way, after recording this, I figured out that the Shield does not work if you do not use the Transient Curse item, no wonder I was finding this so fucking difficult!
All in all, in this episode, I completely made a fool of myself. Shame on me, lol. You can skip this if you want, but the rage is delicious.

Post-Stream Edit: There was no onwards, because it took me two hours and an entire stream to beat this level!
According to other Tomb Raider players, this level is one of the biggest and most complex levels ever!
Holy moly this was an ordeal!
Lovely level, but man this was insane.

This is a trailer showcasing Version 2.0 of the map, which will add new features like:
- Expanded Great Bay (including Great Bay Temple exterior!)
- Fixed some Errors (like some ladders that were broken, making traversal impossible)
- New Stone Tower Temple Entrance
- A choice between two versions of the map, one with the iconic Moon hovering on top of Clock Town, and one without the Moon (the one in this video!)
- And most importantly, Inverted Stone Tower Temple added!
A big thanks to AntmanMoran101 for creating ver. 2.0. by using Amulet and other map editing tools!
The Great Bay Temple exterior, the Moon (coming soon!) and the Stone Tower Temple new entrance were props imported from a very old PlanetMinecraft map made by "xEyelessx". If you are still with us, thank you Eyeless!

Remember when i teased a new Minecraft project? Well, after five months of constant work the Minecraft map that i have been working on is ready.
Welcome to Termina from Zelda: Majora's Mask. This map is a complete reimagining of the world from the beloved classic.
I was not planning on making this map but Antman and you others liked Hyrule so much that i kinda got "convinced" to do this!
In this video i will show you all the locations of the map, so stay tuned cuz this will be a long one!

In this area, we find a Giant Hydra enemy that scares the shit out of me and also try to kill it for a long time, unsuccessfully might I add.
Fortunately, I had also found another area to progress in, the Valley of Drakes, so after a few tough fights with Giant Drakes and after avoiding a gigantic Dragon, I unlocked a new shortcut to Firelink Shrine and also access to two new areas, Blighttown and New Anor Londo Ruins!

Definitely a really fun game and great start to a franchise. I will play all the other games of the classic Tomb Raider series as well!
I also played the Unfinished Business add-on, too... it sucked.

I can't believe i'm saying this, but for once... Antman cooked!
I'm the nitpicking master huh?
I do hope one day we will get a better remake on more powerful hardware, because this ain't it chief.
(Also some new content would be appreciated too, seriously even the other Zelda ports had new dungeons, no Light Temple, really? No better 100 Skulltulla reward?)
Post Stream Description: Wow, i was very impressed. The first game was not bad or anything like that, but this sequel felt like a huge improvement!
More interesting level design, locations, puzzles and also new cool features like vehicles!
Also the graphics are a huge improvement too, these levels look genuinely beautiful. I'm excited to play more of this in the future!
After the boss, I explore a bit, level up, buy more weapons and upgrades, and find a new door to unlock a new area.
I also finally get revenge on that stupid pig, f*ck yes.

Post-Stream Edit: Yes, it was difficult. In fact, it was absolute bullshit lol. That final segment especially was pure evil, like tons and tons of enemies and you having almost no ammo and healing... Jesus.
Yes this level was so bullshit it actually crashed my stream at 1:02:30.
Watch Stream #6.5 for the continuation!
