TESTED: Is It Possible To Beat Minecraft While Facing Backwards?

hello I'm okay extra ham what if the things that makes Minecraft fascinatingly unique is the fact that you can only play the game in first person and also in third person but the game has something very few other games have because in the same way I'm looking at that statue of myself right now you can play Minecraft looking in second person on a head on position you can see yourself from the angle of you know so on looking directly at you and this is really really handy for screenshots it's really handy for thumbnails as well fun fact but it's something that is very rarely used for people actually playing Minecraft so the question becomes in second person perspective can you beat minecraft from start to finish from loading up a world to beating the ender dragon can we do the entire thing while looking at our own face and that's all we can be trying to find out in today's video and we're not only going to be trying to be Minecraft but as always but all of our minecraft where X runs we're gonna be trying to do so with a blank seat a purely random seat that we can't control and we'll be doing so on Hard difficulty so let's jump right into this one and let's explain a little bit more about how third person and second person work in Minecraft because there are some counterintuitive acts that make it a little bit harder but also might work in our favor because third person second person being up to see yourself from an outside and go isn't exactly like being able to see yourself but from a distance because things like maps which I have now opened in my left hand you can see how they don't work the same in third person or second person because if we look for a closer to it it's just a piece of paper with some squiggly lines on the map is actually rendered and set you know in first person only on top of the screen which means we can't see it in second person we can't see what's ahead of us before we get there so that's a really interesting difference another one is the fact that the camera if let you know imaginary physical camera it gets squished between you and object which means that you have the same distance from yourself always unless there's a block behind the camera so you can sell if there's a block you're walking towards it also makes it really tricky to see yourself once you get too close to where but it means that there is a variable distance between you and the camera that can let you know there's a block there so in this for example I can tell there's a tree back here and then I can use this to chop down some wood as you can see I'm doing right this second so this is how we're gonna be able to mind various blocks that otherwise kind of tricky to you know pinpoint exactly because we can tell that we're mining them based on the fact that they're gonna disappear when we do so also we're gonna have you sound a lot for this playthrough because obviously in Minecraft the sound of breaking wood is different of breaking leaves which is different to sound a breaking dirt which I'll show you right now so we can use the fact that they're all different and we can use that for our bondage to work out what we're hitting right now even if we can barely sit like in this situation right here so it took me a lot longer but we've now destroyed an entire tree giving me the precious wood which I of course need and also an apple which might come in really handy later but yeah you can see how even just going for a forest is really tricky for the camera because you move so fast zoom in and out and yourself it's a bit crazy but it's a thing we're gonna have to try and work with for the purpose of this run also an interesting thing is because we're looking ourselves backwards effectively it's actually better for us to walk backwards because sprinting boards is a really bad idea we can barely see anything we might run into lava or off a cliff or something whereas if we walk backwards even though it's weird and even though it's stranger we can't sprint we can see exactly what we're walking into so yeah we're gonna try our best to walk backwards instead so the challenges in this run to summarize come in the form of one the fact that it's very tricky for us to tell exactly what we're hitting and give a second to there are some items that can only be seen in first person they're literally not available in third person free is the fact that we basically have to walk backwards which means we can't hit in the same direction that we're walking we have to turn around through that and finally we have to do all of this without many of our base abilities our ability to kill wither skeletons or the dragon or any of these tricky things that might come at us you know usually come from the fact that it's easy to control these mobs if you can see them we can't see an attack we can't see in sprint we can't see and do most things at the same time and that's where the challenge of today's runs come in it's not necessarily a run that's challenging because it's a puzzle it's a run that is mechanically challenging we have to beat minecraft even when minecraft makes itself several times harder so let's get straight into it shall we so now we've got the challenge out of the wait let's talk about how we're gonna solve this step by step because every single step even crafting it's gonna be a lot harder because to make a crafting table we have to place it down and then we have to be able to like your craft on it which means we're crafting over our face which is a little bit challenging but pretty much anything is significantly harder so let's break this down into steps and let's work out how to do so the very first step I always done a Minecraft run is I upgrade my tools as fast as I can you want to have a stone pickaxe over a wooden pickaxe you want to have an iron sword over sword it's always better to have better equipment and that's why it's important to immediately start upgrading however going mining underground is really really dangerous unless we're in a cave where we can see behind ourselves at all times or unless we mine against the light something like this is a really good idea it's a really challenging thing to probably pull off but basically my plan is to only use natural generation caves for this run because although they provide a lot of space and in that dark space we might find a skeleton or zombie something the reality of the situation is we have more space to work with if there is a monster we can escape it a lot easier if there is a bad situation we have more space and less likelihood of just dying because we got trapped in a cave and we can't find the exit out there it's it's very white and very easy for us to navigate in second person which is useful when you're trying to get out somewhere very quickly so yeah our first challenge consists of going through mostly dark caves getting as much iron and as much coal as we can we're really lucky because we don't just have a cave which is right over here we also have just next to it it's gonna be tricky to see but there is a big ravine back there and although it's very deep and very punishing if we make a mistake if we don't make mistake you can see there's a bunch of wine and gold which is exactly what we want today oh and by the way in case you're curious about these runs they take a long time you know many many hours and occasion curses to invest legit or it's one of these like you know fake videos which some people will do for the sake of YouTube fame or whatever just in case you are curious you can watch the whole first hour and a half to two hours the first session of recording the pure raw gameplay in the link in description it's not very against any but if you want to verify and prove yourself there will be a link down there to this full first gameplay of course oh god okay so just like that you can see how this can go horribly wrong you can also see how it can mine the coal from above me which means this was really a very good decision and yeah as long as we stay in full control of ourselves as long as we know exactly what's happening and we don't fall into the pits of lava below we can get ourselves really easy access to coal that requires very little risks so yeah get some coke get some mind get the basics going from here okay I'm about to make a really risky decision I really want to get that line over there I think it's easy to get I think it's safe if I can sprint over this ravine to get it again I'm gonna fall into that water and as long as I spool in the water I'm safe it's just nerve-racking happens to a jump like this in second person let's try let's do it oh god yeah you can see maneuvers so much harder when you're in second person but you know where lapis-lazuli level now we might just find some diamonds this way this is probably a good thing in some way old it is that actually diamonds over there it might be lapis let's not be excited yet that's why oh my god that is literally diamonds over there see just like that you can see how stumbling making a couple of small mistakes but managed small mistakes cuz I knew there was water with which to fall in soo can go really well whew and yeah now we're gonna swim over what shouldn't be a swim ball distance we need to get some lion first because somehow I've managed to find diamonds before I found some iron with which okay so now we're in a risky situation when you see there's lob in here boy and you're not in full control you gotta be a lot more careful about what you go for and what you don't I say as I crouch at the edge of it trying to see if there's any iron around but yeah I'm feeling optimistic about this challenge because even though we're taking a very long time to do basic tasks I think of this this is one of the things we're like slow and steady wins the race if we tackle our objectives one by one I think we can do this speaking of objectives by the way creeper so we're doing the exact same thing again hard difficulty one life blank seats of Bible let's do this oh by pure chance it looks like we've seen a village just behind this tree you've been shopping down and in this case it comes with two diamonds two iron and iron sword and some iron boots as well as a saddle some bread and some gold ingot so you can see that's a really useful little boost right there I mean I would argue free diamonds is what we really want rather than two but you know biggest can't be choosers or so they say so the other thing I'm gonna take from this village is all off the hay bales if you don't know hay bales you can convert them into nine-week which basically means every single not these blocks is worth free bread and you know breads of pretty solid food source for the early game so let's get ourselves a bunch of them always take a bed with you because the villagers don't even mind for the most part and if you have some beds of you you can go to sleep anywhere which is handy for avoiding phantoms something that can become a real problem if you forget about them but yeah as far as initial preparations go we still do need to find more iron and more coal even when you find a lucky villager that has - diamonds - diamonds aren't worth enough by themselves you need to have some extra iron to make Phoenix some more armor you know boots are nice but they don't really make the big enough difference to actually design your game so we're gonna find some exposed caves for the same reason as last time and we're gonna get sub selves some iron to make some armor to make a pocket and of course to make it line pickaxe I can our first true encounter of the game can we kill a zombie or will it kill us you can see it's a genuine challenge is even not such a stupid mob keeping your eye on it the whole time very challenging now imagine that's two zombies and you can see how suddenly oh yeah taking down anything more complex like save the inner dragon that's gonna get really challenging so my risk minimization strategy is to make a mine all the way down to diamond layer but I'm gonna make it from the inside of one of these villager houses which is purely lit up that way I can't get surprised while we're doing this also we're not gonna dig down like you might see me doing for a block here instead we're gonna do is gonna do the two block money down technique which where's is where you stand in the middle of the two blocks just like this you can barely see if you stand on the middle of the two blocks and then break one off the other you'll never fall into lava unless you see the lava first as you can see no lava spring mind the left block and then we fall down that one oh the way this techniques works is we mined down on one of the blocks and if we see there's lava down there so we can see there's no lava hit because I'm in this viewpoint there is a definitely a block down here so if I now break this block on the Left I know the same things gonna be true I'm safe I'm in the middle of the two blocks it allows you to avoid the whole falling into lava thing and it's very handy in my opinion so by pure chance just next to our giant little you know I guess ladder let's call it or you know elevator shaft whichever we will receive these things just right next to this thing there happens to be a huge cave at Diamond layer which makes me wonder like maybe this thing is worth exploring later like well torch it up we'll be very careful we'll always have an escape route but there might just be a clever way out for this again we need to make sure we are always prepared to get out there immediately so for most funds we usually skip the whole enchanting process and it you know therefore we don't need to get lapis but in this one we really can only get a decent supply of lapis because there are certain enchantments that are gonna make our life a lot safer and therefore in a run like this where we're basically mechanically handicapped we really want to make sure that we can have full control which is why we're gonna make sure we in Sean okay so this might seem super excessive but we have now basically blocked off all sites that can get here because this is give me my branch bun in mine I don't want to go out into the scary caves I've seen how even about mobs they can be pretty terrifying so the point is I'm gonna just start mining my 11 as he always meant to do okay oh god what we just seen okay so you can see how even in the safest of cave situations we somehow mind straight into a zombie villager how is that even possible okay my first crazy thing has happened I've ran across a tiny bit of lava and then I'd mind the block behind it and it's more lava and I can hear a witch laughing somewhere in that cave so needless to say there's gonna be a bit of risk involved here but we're gonna again minimize that risk as much as we humanly can you know maybe I should just turn a different way I think that's probably the best solution okay this one is gonna be absurdly hard but we have a dungeon which again hard enough to correctly deal with sometimes already but we're gonna try and do of the dungeon even though we're in a situation where we can't even look at it directly that was a lot easier than I was expecting actually just like that we found ourselves a couple of chests which usually don't contain amazing things for late-game but you never know Golden Apple there we go heck yeah and some gunpowder we've got the music disc 13 if we want it to and I don't so but also somewhat bread so you know it was worth going for sometimes you get really really good things sometimes you get really handy things oh I I did not know this was a thing the game did when you looked at a lava pit in third person thank god it's been 2 hours and 20 minutes but we finally had some diamonds this is meant to be like the safest but still kind of fast technique people waste Oakley and say oh yeah branch mining so much faster than going out and exploring and I figured you know we'll do that today because you know it's safer down here because there's only one way things can come from but no it is taking us that long to find I think just free diamonds to like the amount of extreme effort we've gone through oK we've got 7 diamonds total that's enough for a diamond pickaxe that's enough for a diamond sword and that's enough for an enchantment table on top of that hey more diamonds ok so this is very good news it's like bosses you wait for everyone to come along and it seems like it's never going to and then when you least expect it you get to lots at once it seems so the good news is that now when we do our branch mining tediously for a few more hours we're at least gonna have a diamond pickaxe to do it with I'm gonna change my earlier statement to actually be when you want a boss none come along forever and then free come around because here is a third vein of diamonds if this is anything more than even just pre diamonds we've got ourselves enough for some serious Diamond Dharma which again would be a serious point of leverage in a serious thing that would actually give us a fighting chance against the dragon in this mode so if we're gonna make an enchantment table we're gonna need to get ourselves some obsidian and a book when it comes to getting a book there's two easy ways to do it you can either if you have a virtual bookshelf just mind the book shop and get the book that way but if you already have sugar cane you're gonna a lot of this to get some level 30 in Xiamen so anything close to that so you might as well take it and you might as well stop at the shoot cake bomb so I wish it wasn't this way but making obsidian is actually easier said than done because I do have to be very careful that I don't fall into the lava while I'm carrying obsidian so shop very carefully like place it on the ground and then scoop it up very quickly and there we go there's some obsidian to mine Hey okay that yeah oh it looks like I might have bunch of obsidian without realizing it which would have gone into the lava depths if this wasn't one deep so I'm very lucky for that so I said that I wouldn't start going a bit crazy on the sugar cane but you know once you plant one bit of sugar cane you can't stop there you can't stop until you've got all the sugarcane you could ever need and a whole bunch more as well I feel like you're looking directly at me and that's because I mean we both explicitly art that's kind of the point of this run so we've got leaven out we're gonna combine that with our paper to make a book then we can take the book and our diamonds and our obsidian and make an enchantment table I think the best place to put this given how I want everything to be kind of close together anyway it's probably just over here and then oh wait where is over here over here is a pathway over there and then that way when we want to surround it with butter wood bookcases it should be easy enough to do so because it's fairly flat around but for now let's do the big thing you all want to see but yeah we've got everything a little bit enchanted now I feel pretty good about my ability to go to the nether and hopefully not die so let's go and do that shall we actually you know I have four more diamonds I'm gonna make an a pair of diamond boots even though boots are one of the more wasteful ways to use diamonds in this case if it gives us a chance of her falling let's let's go for that Oh fair falling one again this genuinely might make the difference between my life being ruined in my life not being ruined especially in the end where we can you know wear for like 20 to 30 blocks something that would just about kill you normally but that feather falling one might genuinely save this is going to be useful for that and the Dragonfly I'm gonna keep these around specifically for that purpose so yet to be entirely honest of you I don't think I'm truly ready to go to the never but I don't think I ever will be I think I have the best shot that I'll ever have right now ok we got two blocks placed look at that that is progress right there it's just such a weird experience having to do what is one of your most basic recipes but doing it well when slightly looking at the blocks we're trying to play some fortunately for us though it seems as though we didn't now I think the smartest move for this last block here is just a place a block in the corner and then try and place onto that just like this ok we are now ready to go to the nether it's the most dangerous build I've ever had to make Oh God oh ok we're fine we're fine this is one of the few essential tasks in Minecraft which I think is the same depth whether we do it in first person or third person reversed because you know we're still gonna be looking around roughly the same we don't really need to fight anything till we get there so yeah we have one of these few moments where even though we're surrounded by lava and death and things that really want me dead I think I'm gonna do just about ok by avoiding all those things as best they can oh one of the challenges I have any really considered because I want to try and kill my first Enderman well hey is how exactly do we fight an Enderman in this game-mode like this so yeah I want to look the enemy directly in the eyes I won't know when I've done it but he's gonna be angry I say okay there we go and we've got to walk backwards into our little hole which is a lot easier said than done apparently enman just stopped caring about me which is not ideal okay then okay this is my second attempt at trying to kill Enderman without looking at them but deliberately looking at them by not looking at them it's very complex to the intimate relationship with me is very complex and second person link well okay that's my second Enderman that's just teleported away and lost the fight okay I'm not gonna take any chances with this last Enderman I'm just gonna go up and I'm gonna start swinging and I'm gonna hope my armor is good enough I would like to mention how impossibly difficult is to kill a gas in second person by the way so this is fell twice and my idea is gonna sound ridiculous here but hear me out I think the best strategy is just to go in and start slicing and dicing the Enderman because they've teleported away every other time something's gone wrong and this time you know usually I show techniques to help me be intamin without taking my damnit much damage but this time honestly we've got really good armor we've got a decent sword oh man oh god but yeah we just got to enter pearls just like that we took two pots of damage but again our armor is tanking for us it's doing a serious part of the job and honestly I think as far as challenge runs I've done on this channel before this might be one of the easiest ones beginning Enderman just because we've gone to the state Hervey to counteract other things that have made enema easier so ya know pulling up is actually still pretty fast then it's probably the best way to climb mountains when under pressure because I am taking some serious damage in than ever so I've been wondering than ever for about 20 minutes now and I have no sign of enough fortress by the way in case you're curious is what I'm doing here I think I need to love never rock anyway and I sort of giant like mountain or never mountain like bulge stalactite whatever you want to call it I saw one of those minerals like you know we need to mine through this thing oh no way I have no idea how this just happened but it seems as though we've mined into a nether fortress all that time if not finding one and then we literally walk into one by accident and not even like the best part of unlikely alright the more dangerous part usually but in this one I think this is actually quite useful so there's something I guess okay so let's do this we've got to take down some blazes because you can't get to the end until you've killed blazes and it's really hard to kill places in this mode but I'm hoping if we do the same thing pick them off one by one except that we're gonna take some damage the promise some blazes like hang out literally next to a pair Flavia and I'm just not gonna go after that soft players this is my first time sprinting in the run it's a bit dangerous but there's just a long hallway that gets more dangerous as I walk down it because more mobs might spawn there but yeah we're gonna go looking around the snare fortress because we want to find a blaze spawner I think it's the easiest place to take that down Blazers it's easy to run out off if things go bad and you know it should be safe and easy it's especially terrifying when a mob is literally trying to attack you while you do this in this two of them this turf then the stove then the stove them I'm dead I'm dead okay okay we're gonna walk backwards from everything just keep them walking backwards just keep them walking backwards tell the wavering stops actually us already smarter to not wait Oh God not wait for that to happen okay I'm just gonna get around a corner I'm gonna pray there's nothing like a wooden skeleton in that direction if there is I think we just died okay they stop following me they stop followed me we're good that was my fear earlier and now you can see not known just a fight fair again we really want to isolate them as best we can I found myself in the weirdest never cave system like I've just been following this thing for ages what do you reckon is this survivable it's the sort of thing where you really don't to be mistaken you know I'm really sure I can survive this bull I have been fooling after all oh god that was a big bull okay it was fine it's fine it took me a really long time but we're here now we found the good old never portal and we can hop right through it there's something that Golf doesn't ruin my plans and just like that we don't have to go to the never again if we don't want to and you better believe after something like that I don't want to so now we have the Oh God now we have the almighty task of finding the stronghold so again finding the stronghold usually a reasonable task it's just like what do you do you're firing I offender in the sky and eventually it shows you there but doing it in this viewpoint is gonna be really quite a challenge because usually we can be incredibly precise with where our offenders are going and therefore we have to go but in this particular case we have to look at that without looking at if they're quick 180 and pray we get a good direction on it so yeah my plan with this assuming there's no stronghold under this village which would be a dream right but my plan with this is to just go into a big open field and then literally 180 the moment we throw this so this is a wide open field I'm gonna stand in the mid of this neverett block I'm gonna fire the eye offender and I'm gonna pray that wherever it goes we look the opposite way so we can see exactly which direction it is okay it's that way and now we need to use this direction right here which in case you're curious there's a ratio up about I would say two point five to one going this way versus going this way now we can use this ratio to head in that direction and we have to pray we don't have to fire these two many other times like even going for this forest which I have to do to follow the route perfectly is kind of dangerous during the day and kind of messing me up so let's just hope it doesn't it too much harder than the list okay is all I'm saying ouch he tests the head to see if it's the right village is to throw I've end up from the other side of the village if the VIP it points towards this village 99% chance that underneath this village there is a stronghold if it points the opposite way it doesn't well though this is a bedrock exclusive and in Java strongholds generate anywhere on bedrock they try to generate under villages it goes that way so we're almost diagonally one-to-one now which is easier to follow if nothing else so surprisingly fast after that second one right in the right trajectory we found a second village this one's the plains village yeah this is a surprisingly big village actually like if this was close to spawn this would be a pretty great seed oh it's safe but yeah we're gonna throw our I offender all the way over here just so we're safely out the range of the village and we're gonna see which direction it goes in apparently towards the tree so yeah I would say there is about a 95 maybe 99% certainty to below this village we're gonna find ourselves the the dream the the stronghold so we're just gonna start digging right for it I guess usually just underneath the well is the best place to start so that so we'll go today except wait a minute no we can't just have a staircase in we have ladders oh no I've used all the letters I guess we'll make an ordinary staircase in but we'll just be very careful because you never know what you're walking into Anna underground cave so I can hear some lava nearby which is why it's so important to be careful when mining like this and I just heard some thoughts or some way expose itself again every block we mined we are going to be careful with so I've got unconventional idea a light sauce I'm gonna play some never Atkins some of these corners I'm gonna light it on fire and now I can see what's happening which decreases my chance of falling into a deadly pit of lava all of this work and we still might not end up in the stronghold okay yeah this this is just the worst thing I've ever had to do and there's a chance I don't even find a stronghold at the end but let's go to sleep or Robert let's go kill some Enderman and let's see if we can do this another night okay we found our first end event in the earth world that we're gonna try and attack as long as we look away from the whole time I think we're actually good about this all this too even better it's so hard to attack in this mode and it's terrifying knowing that anything can come off me but it's pretty easy - I found a zombie of the weirdest helmet on like it looks like it's an iron helmet but it's got like a leather stripe in it is that a bug or is that just a cool new type of helmet the answer is when you're playing bedrock it's always a bug by the way Oh phantoms that is not what I want in the world at all okay everything is going horribly for me everything is going wrong okay thank God it took a little bit of mining around but I did in fact find the stronghold I was so sure it wasn't there for a bit but then I saw it hangs Amba noises you can maybe hear them right now I had some wine in some really weird directions which is not fun when you're mining like this but we did it regardless we found ourselves the stronghold now we've got to find an easy way to the end portal which again is another toss made a little bit harder by this actually wait is that the end portal there oh my god that's the import all there has no I offenders because the game hates me wants me to suffer in first part that second person as long as I Q Molly can so something I'm a big believer in is always blocking up parts your stronghold you don't need to use because again in this particular run you know there's lots of things that can cause us danger what have we just stopped them causing a stranger wouldn't that be nice so not a single ender pulp through this entire stronghold very unlucky stronghold honestly this seed as a whole just isn't particularly amazing you know sometimes you get good spawns sometimes you get bad ones that's part of why we do random seeds because we've got to be able to work with it now we just block that up pretend it doesn't exist and I guess we go back up and we try to kill more Enderman the normal way but we have to kill at least 10 of them which is gonna be very time consuming but that's what we signed up for I guess it's funny because even though I can see in I think this baby zombie is genuinely a bigger threat to me because of just out tiny a hitbox of this but let's do this another meat grinder fest versus an Enderman yeah you've really gotta aim low on these guys if you want to have even a chance of hitting protip in case you're ever in a situation where your second person attacking admin as I know you all have pretend to be I'm literally being chased by two baby zombies now or rather a baby zombie and a baby husk cuz they're technically several mobs but I'm just saying it's a real problem there is a lot of explosions happening so I approach it when you're playing Minecraft it's actually better if you look forwards fun fact second person is only four insane people and taking screenshots I'm not sure which of the two I am right now so at the same time is searching friend Amon which by the way right now is gone pretty badly I haven't found one in over five minutes and that's just a pure searching but I'm also going to look for some villagers because I might find some blacks maps which might contain some diamond dog diamond Alba I'm in a really bad situation where my iron armor is getting closer and closer to breaking I'm not sure if they lost me all the way to the end another night another real lack of finding new ender pearls so during most of the days there's not actually too much I can actually do at this stage however I did happen to end up in a desert village with a desert temple next to it so I'll go read that so there's a genuine risk of explosion based death if you do this one wrong so always be careful when you're playing in second person or even just when you want to be careful in general okay be really really really careful right now now we mine out that sure that fresh plate as soon as we can we can can I do it yes I can okay there is a Golden Apple in here so it wasn't for nothing it was for very close to nothing they really want me to have gold horse on that seriously the only thing I got besides a few bits of iron was free gold horse armors they just want me to have that okay so this is definitely one of the riskier decisions I've taken but I'm gonna start right and we're gonna go through with it go for all the different steps so that we can gas ups probably I mean a helmet would be nice actually and maybe some enchanted leggings but also so that we can get ourselves a total of undying if possible and my legitimate plan for this pillager Raiders just to chill near the sighing Gollum for as long as I can but you can see back there the iron golems kind of got the pillagers sorted and then when it comes to the Avoca which is who we're really looking for that's and we'll start worrying also maybe we should kill this guy because he's text us anyway my pro tip if you've never done a pillager raid before and you're kind of terrified or you've done one and you've died or something like that it's just stay near your iron golems if you can because they are tanks that just kill enemies for you if they're nearby and as off the 1.14 or village and village update depending on your platform as of that update you can you know easily find an iron golem in every single village it's very rare to find a village that doesn't have a gob so yeah just stay near them and till you find the dudes I've been looking around for these pillagers for literally forever I guess not literally forever I've been looking on these villages for a really long time now it's been well over 20 minutes now I found a spider spawner before I found that the remainder of this wave it's one of the ridiculous things that just kind of happens when you're doing this I guess like sometimes you get really unlucky sometimes you get a saddle though I had a really solid stress she lined up but when it doesn't work it doesn't work there's no point in throwing good time after bad if you can't find something after all of this time it's in a cave somewhere but I'd have to check all the caves which is really hard to do fun fact when you like fit so we're gonna leave behind this village leave behind our genius strategy if I if I do say so myself and so let's instead focus on the end of poke grind again we can focus on this some other time although I can hear it even from here how is that possible where are these dudes you know I'm feeling good let's just charge them down right now let's just do this oh maybe second thoughts cause of this husk hey ate out 12 and the pulse garden okay the minecraft gods have offered me a second attempt at getting that total I'm dying and you better believe I'm gonna take it okay again you always want to just charge in for the one dude you look and talk you might take some damage this way but I think it's oh god okay know that yep this has gone badly this has gone badly this is I just get out there right now goes without saying that that wasn't the outcome I was looking for was kind of hoping for a bit better than that Oh God they've got too many crossbows okay can I do this I can do this right I can do this I can I got it I got it okay now we run away from these guys Oh God oh that close to coming into a giant chasm you see what I mean like when you're sprinting you have so little control that you've gotta be careful okay now let's find a village that's on a nice flat plane they're still coming up me but I'm hopefully went out of their range let's find a nice flat plane village or let's find a horse we can escape on okay my hope my dream is that this village is small enough flat enough and just not a problem enough that I'm gonna have real issues if I lose a second pillager wave to like some underground spawn I'm gonna be upset but I'm hoping that doesn't happen here same strategy applies I'm gonna chill near the iron golem and yet while the iron golem deals with that I'm gonna tame one of these horses yeah this guy is my horse right here and now we've got a way to properly ride around the village which is great the one downside is riding this backwards is pretty hard so you kind of have to ride forwards on a horse picking up to jump so high is actually really useful for planning the last villagers as you can see the sign golems a bit trapped oh no he's like kind of bugged he's getting attacked but he's not attacking back okay yes I'll do it myself Wow such a lazy iron golem wants me to do some of the work yeah I really hope the golem can face up to that guy I don't this isn't gonna go well from yeah that did not go well then I'll know the village died so I got the effect back bad news guys so this is something you generally want to avoid this is why you should always protect one of the villagers or you might end up winning the battle but losing the war okay I found a new village my plan of this one is to block up the doors to stop the villagers physically getting in and that way we can have at least one villager survived also I didn't even do anything but early on one more remaining oh god I'm so close to death like I'm telling you they have indicators with those iron axes you don't even realize how fast you're dying you can get that close it could have been all over all of these hours all of this ridiculous effort could have ended because of a pillager raid okay so it's third-wave time which means we have to take out this beast yeah we one more of those hits and we are dead one more of these hits and we are dead and we can only see him when he gets into our camera view like this we basically exist inside things hey no oh oh okay so I've made myself some leggings just so I have something to prepare myself there and yeah I am very very very cautious of the restless raid now okay there's two witches to deal with but this is a genuine issue I need to make sure they dealt with separately and I need to make sure there's not a chance for them to poison me even one of them so this one we're gonna lure out from over there so if you're on Hard difficulty wave five is where you've got a good chance of starting to see these Avoca I want to say it might be six but now is the wave that we just have one enemy we want to kill all the rest are kind of inconsequential there is there is no no no no no no don't no don't come on tight I think he's dead where's the totem here's the totem and just like that we now have immunity from death at least once and then you get some resistance and stuff actually maybe should we go for a second totally banned dying it seems excessive but I mean if we use up the first one it'll be nice to have a second yeah there's no way this really ends well for me so I'm just gonna not well I'm sorry villagers I was only in it for the Chumphon dying which I now do have so great knowing you and all but let's head back to our original stronghold so of course the last final challenge we have left is getting these ender pearls in the third person and I'm not too concerned that'll be too difficult I mean like we could run in some bad situations of some creepers amendment yeah bad things can still happen the run can still be ended but uh you know at this point it's most announced like can we find the Enderman can we grind them down can we get this done in a reasonable timeframe so if one of these doesn't drop an oedipal I think I'm gonna rage quit like for real I it takes so long between each vine and to not get something from it just breaks my heart oh oh we didn't get ender pearl so we just rage quit like you're not do we need to do this what was the point of being Minecraft looking backwards anyway also generally might die here why why even do this why are we doing this to ourselves good question also I'm actually dying right now I actually dying another one no ender pearl have I turned off items or something like this this is beyond bad luck this was a one in a hundred and twenty eight chance to get this many coin tosses going entirely wrong I should be in the stronghold by now like even if you don't outfit see I don't care what your reasoning is I just want you to die and I want you to drop the one thing that makes you worth existing thank God okay three more and a pulse to go and then we've only got the last challenge left every now and then I forget that we're doing this challenge I'm like oh let's switch back to first person but I've turned off the bun to do that so it's like oh yes you can't do that okay this is the worst thing that could have happened at this stage so yeah now the rest of tonight is useless for finding enmund because they teleport immediately away again I always hate doing this because I always think ok it's only like a few hours of some bad luck and this it always takes more than a few hours which is absurd it's something that should be fast but ok you know I'm gonna have to take a break and I'll get back to this in a few days so anyone who thinks these are fake by the way like I wish they were fake I wish I was just thinking of this the the amount of my sanity it would drain would be so much less and I just live a happier life over I think so you know if you think this is fake I I wish I agreed of you ok another end of pole down oh it is that is my 12th I have end up which means barring some huge natural disaster on the way back to the portal we have now finished this last major time-consuming task the number of hours that it takes is always more than you expect but now we've done that we can head over to the end so after all of those hours of killing Enderman I have to be very careful to make sure that I don't just fall in the lava and end this all now so I'm gonna be extra careful gonna crouch I'm gonna try my best to get these offenders into the portals which actually like you know you wouldn't assume this was a hot part of the process but I think it actually is so I guess I learned something today you can't Crouch from place I offend isn't a portal instead you just go do it like this pray that you've come to the right block and I guess slowly walk around the portal of all the ways to die there are so many more honorable ways than accidentally falling into lava or wasting an offender or something like that so I'm gonna try my best not to do these things and just like that we have now officially opened our end portal we are ready for the final fight against the ender dragon i'm super-nervous if i'm being honest there's a little bit of preparation have to do like okay bread no longer the food of choice I'm eating steak all day every day that's the most important thing okay so iron leggings they're going off I leggings with protection on they're going on we're gonna make a brand new helmet we're gonna do everything in our power to make this you know to give ourselves the best odds we can because let's be honest the deck is kind of stacked against us we won't be able to see very much and yeah I think what the last big step I need to do is probably get myself some fourth bow or maybe get some snow books cuz I've got 45 hours but I don't have a way to fire them so we'll get that sorted and then we'll meet back here at about five ten minutes okay we're here now I've organized my HotBot I've gone all the things I needed basically a bow at this point and I'm ready for the fight with the dragon this is the best prepared I've been in terms of absolute equipment I've got literally enchanted diamond chestplate and some enchanted of Rama you know we've got lots of good stuff we have some good odds in terms of if this was first person I'd be really confident but in second person I just have no clue how to react to the dragons attacks because you need to keep eye contact the dragon at all times if you want to beat her okay I'm as ready as I think I'm ever gonna be to do this let's jump into the end and let's try and beat the dragon in second person at all sky honestly think is gonna be close to impossible by the way the task is being made about ten times harder by the fact that we have to race to the ender dragon really really really quickly if you're on one of these end islands you need to get to the center before doing anything else and the reason you need to do that is because the drunk can just come over here knock you off and you have no recourse unless you'd get yourself out there as fast as possible which is what you better believe I am doing right now a task which by the way made even harder by the fact that we can't actually see so now you can see we've made it that we're gonna jump dangerously across this and now we had to talk about the game plan because this is the hardest dragon fight we've done in the series so far it might be one of the hardest modifiers you can do to the dragon fight because here's the scoop right we need to look at the dragon at all times it can fire and acid at us that can one-hit through all of our armor even with the diamond you know boots and chest plate even with the protection it cuts right through almost we need to look at the dragon at all times and also she can swoop down and knock us off the edge so there's lots of ways we can be one here unless we look at the dragon okay look at the dragon for the back like we're doing right now easy enough right no it's not easy enough because we also have to at the exact same time as paying attention making sure we avoid attacks like that but if I missed by the way I'd be knocked off the edge I'd be instantly dead as well as looking directly at the dragon or indirectly the dragon we have to make sure we don't look directly at any Enderman did I hit I don't think I did there Oh God you can see how I got really really close actually on the first shot it seems but yeah and all the time while doing this we're also going to attack an urban which means we can't see the dragon which means we're about to be one-hit kill again you see this you see how insanely quickly that adds up and stacks and leads to you being basically destroyed it's scary it's not it's not what you want in your life at least it's not what I want from piped from my time it's gonna be insane to combine together oh we're so close to dead I just started come on woman again dragons a lady wig one Golden Apple damn we're pretty much close to dead and we haven't done a single bit of good for the dragon yet this is the intensity of this fight okay trying to injure right now man I just I just okay we're gonna click tender pulse I guess it's good to fight some Enderman maybe no no no okay so as you can see we're already at the stage where we've lost our tunnel from dying still no progress made here's the deal I figure this is such a low likelihood of success Genaro we need to boost all the odds in whatever way we can I'm going to make a lot of torches and I'm gonna place them all around these giant obsidian pillars to try and make sure that enamine don't spawn there I want to believe that all we have to do is light this area up stop the inman spawning there so again this might look slightly insane but it does now give me a much better you know chance of not being ambushed by an anyone in just the wrong moment which is what I need today you know like I need something like this to equalize the fight okay I'm pretty close to the end of my torches I can't cover the entirety of the end which is why places like this I'm just leaving super sparsely lit so that they're fewer Enderman spawn there and they hopefully don't teleport towards me so the reason you destroyed the end crystals before taking down the dragon is because if you tried to hit the drag you can do some damage but she's always gonna recover because of those and crystals you can even see the lines which are giving her health which is why we have to take down a significant number of them okay look how absurdly close some gangs taking this thing down my aim is actually surprisingly okay in second person but okay won't do it you need perfect precision despite nothing you have to see the thing you're firing at but yeah we need to take all these down with our twenty-something remaining hours 26 hours for a lot of these towels probably not gonna go too well I think it would be fair to s tomato man okay didn't save myself correctly I'm a life though that's what counts that's what counts being alive is what really matters it's all coming together before it one wins with my death whoa what just like that the entire run it's over it's done in a single incident of gang unlucky of being wiped over the edge in a thing we couldn't have seen coming it's over so I'm gonna be entirely honest with you here what I do before every single end fight is I copy the world just in case something horrendous happens with the EM generation I've lost a few balls by the end is just broken when I've gone in so I keep a copy and what I could totally do is I could lie and just you know do this again you know wait until I succeed and then use that success and show you like oh yeah this was my first time but let's be honest I died that first time because of my own mistakes and this is gonna be the time we actually do it okay so given that I've improved my ability at aiming in second person apparently I guess we should go for another tower I've got to do the waterpocket technique in third person oh no off the edge it's a good thing I made a copy before that run because it didn't go so well but this time is the time I'm actually gonna get it done okay this this was also not the try so today I learned that the total in dying doesn't save you from end aesthetics okay so at this point the copies are pretty far down but this is gonna be the time there happens yeah even I'm taking the biggest risks humanly possible I'm still just missing horrendously it does have me say we have just the cage wants to go but I'm not gonna take them down as you've seen from my previous attempts here going off those last two cages would make the fight a lot easier but I think in this run it's just too close to being impossible and you know the number of deaths so far convinces me that that is in fact the truth we get roughly 1/3 of his health bar gone and this close is close to a quarter then he's gonna heal off a little bit overland she's going to heal up a little bit from those last two cage towers now she's closer to I would say 2/5 of her help is gone she's gonna heal up a little bit but only when she flies close to those two so we've got the dragon below half health sometimes she is around for a very long time sometimes she heals all the way even from something as low as half health No okay we're gonna know oh thank god okay I'm going after right now no questions nothing else okay we're down to about two fifths remaining now and yeah it'd be so much simpler to take down the towers in a normal run but when that's tricky for whatever reason this is a working treasure - yes is it possible to beat Minecraft while looking entirely at your own face you tell me you tell me people off the internet cuz I think this experience raining from the sky this and a dragon head you know proof of my genocide I think this proof of my genocide of a pregnant mother I think that this proves very much so that yes in fact it is possible look at all of this XP I always forget just how much XP you get when you first kill the dragon super useful if you want to make a enchanting farm or something like that but yeah GG also hinted she locked me in there we beat minecraft here are the end credits a lot of people who played Minecraft only recently go back into it don't know that minecraft hasn't ending but yeah there are end credits obviously it's Minecraft it's an open world game once you you know watch the whole credits or if you just skip through them like this because we watch them before you do end up just in the old world like this and uh okay you can see it's very much a normal world normal spawn and we'll all of that you know I've got lots of questions about this world and you probably have lots of questions about why I did this and long yeah short answer because I wanted to know feels possible long answer because I think I'm insane more seriously though I really Procrit this whole run you know the tea I went for a serious number of tries even for the ender dragon fight the realistic answer is did I beat on my first try in in hardcore rules this shouldn't count but in terms of is it actually possible it is actually possible you've just got to be really really good at fighting then dragon second person a skill which I don't think has any value so yeah that's that's a good way to kind of segue into like this series as a whole it's super fun to see a Minecraft as possible when doing a stupid challenge but I think a challenge like only looking you know backwards is something I probably won't do in the future this might have been some fun sometimes but it was mostly a lot of frustration and I didn't improve my minecraft skill I just learned a brand new one that no one needs to learn so yeah I think I will do more episodes of this series but I thought you know I'll do more minecraft Forex runs eventually you know if we have to take like a month off or something but I want to do them to even prove you know things that are technically challenging like could you be table trading only the answer is no because you need blaze rods but I don't answer technically challenging questions to help you learn about Minecraft or the released I want to do fun challenges where you know like I'm improving my skills as I go along because after this the only thing I want more than anything else is just a switch back to first person so you know I'm gonna do I'm gonna do exactly that but I hope they proved to you that Viking at this bar in minecraft during second person maybe you can get further by playing the game in first person I don't know maybe it's an inspirational thing or maybe just enjoy sinks on punish themselves on the internet for money and if so then I guess give this video a like and subscribe because thou motivate me to do more please in the future I think we're gonna go back to doing less early runs so like next time wooden tours only like wood and leather maybe or maybe just wood tools no armor that could be a fun little thing but I guess we'll be doing in the near future Eve way hope you'll enjoy the video because I'll see you in the next one goodbye

What about beating minecraft with an FOV of 30°?
