0:29 - 7:38 Finding Bastions 7:38 - 12:18 Bastion types + identifying 12:18 - 33:54 Bastion routes 33:54 - 40:59 Fortress finding + strategies :)

We need to get a manhunt with Rek and other Lifesteal members.

lmao seeing rek turn from trying to get a sub hour run to being so good at speedrunning he's teaching others is such amazing character development

Second, Rekrap left out a few details of finding bastions that can make it more accurate, eliminating most of the false positives and false negatives. The main thing you want to do first is to get familiar with the number of entities you should expect to see at your chosen render distance, with no bastion. Load a fresh world (or go a few thousand blocks away in the nether into completely new terrain), wait for everything to completely load, and look down near the bottom of the F3 screen where you'll see a couple of numbers called "M" and "C". These are both counts of different types of entities around you. The important thing to know is that neither of them includes entities that load with bastions. So they will tend to stay consistent at a given render distance, regardless of whether or not there are bastions around. The sum of the two of these is how many entities you should expect to see without any nearby bastions. So a couple examples. You enter the nether. You don't have a noticeable spike while your nether is loading in, but your entities after unpausing are 150 and your normal M+C is only 120. You double check M+C; it is in fact around 120. Conclusion: you do have a bastion. You can lower FOV and scan for it. Next case: It looks like you have a spike, but when you unpause, entities are only 118 and checking M+C shows that is also around 120. There's no bastion. Don't scan, you'll be wasting your time. It's also possible for M+C to not be the usual value. So example: Your entities are 120, but when you check M+C it's only 80. You do have a bastion, scan for it. Or, your entities are 150, but so is M+C when you check it. No bastion, don't waste your time. Neither of these is super common, but it does happen. Also, be very wary of crimson and basalt biomes nearby, because they do tend to have a lot of entities and can send you in the wrong direction if you don't check carefully. Maybe you load in a bastion, you notice a large concentration of entities toward the crimson nearby, and you go that way. But actually the bastion was the other way, behind you. Depending how much time you want to take and how many mistakes you're willing to tolerate, it might be worth it to always do a full scan all the way around if there's a crimson or a basalt in sight rather than just heading toward the fiirst "E:32" you see. Not that you'll necessarily be able to tell which is the real bastion and which isn't, but if you know there's only one bastion in render, and one "spike" is toward a crimson, while the other one is toward a nether wastes, go toward the nether wastes. If you do all of this you'll get it right at least 95% of the time.

Whoever had the motivation to watch the 40 minute video all the way through, massive respect Edit: I did Edit: we still have hope of this new generation's attention span

12:30 bridge 17:30 treasure 21:30 housing 26:30 stables

0:29 - Finding Bastions 12:24 - Bridge Bastion Route 17:18 - Treasure Bastion Route 22:04 - Housing Bastion Route 26:11 - Stables Bastion Route 33:09 - Quickly grab items 33:54 - Locating fortresses 38:29 - Finding center of fortress 38:42 - Finding Blaze Spawner I’m sorry if i’m copying anyone, but this is just mostly so you can see the different routes and not have to scroll through tho whole thing. Hope it helps! :D

what i love about speedrunning is that a lot of the strats can be implemented while playing mc normally as well. like speedrunning also makes you just a better mc player in general by making you more efficient

The tutorial we didnt deserve but we needed.. PART 2

rekrap explains coords why are people who doesnt know how to use coords even wathcing this love it u really inspired me just like technoblade the way you speak is just lovely and entartaining

finally! i’ve been watching out all morning for this. i watched the overworld one, but didn’t know what to do after. I practiced finding nether fortresses etc, but this helped me get the courage and knowledge to go into the nether. fun to see rek speedrun, i’m an og to this channel (rekrap1)

Bastion Routing Run-Throughs: 12:18 - Bridge Routing 17:18 - Treasure Routing 22:03 - Housing Routing 26:11 - Stables Routing Hope this helps! This is for you to refer back to when practicing.

TYSM! Learning the housing bastion route rn, will definitely be watching the third one and bring my ender dragons killed count from 1 (in a singleplayer non-speedrun world) to a bazillion! This has been a lot of fun! (I mostly learned so I felt safer in the nether, also to branch more into what one can do in the Minecraft videogame!)

I am recently obsessed with Speedruns and love to watch them! And I always dream to Speedrun like you! These tutorials are so helpful! Thanks ❤

FOR ALL BEGGINER SPEEDRUNNERS: 10:20 Bridge bastions also spawn with hoglins, stables is not the only one. Also I was kinda disappointed that you did a housing route where you don't get the chests first at 24:30. For viewers I would recommend that at the hole he fell down, place two blocks below you and crouch to reach the double chest and equip any gold armor in there. After that you break the smaller chest on the side to get all the piglins angry and do the route rekrap laid out. This is so that you don't have to come back up for obsidian, saving you anywhere from 30s to a minute. He talks briefly about the route you can do with stables when it is a double bad gap which I'm going to be leaving a link to on my channel if you want to know how to it. It's faster but riskier than the normal ones. Anyway, great video rek and happy speerunning to all beginners.

I literally made a speed running tutorial playlist on my phone from these vids. Keep up the good work Rek!!! love your videos!

Thanks Rek! This helped me so much and I’m so inspired by your journey throughout speedrunning. Keep up the good work.

And now watching this i got a a new addiction.

i don’t even have minecraft but i’m watching this because rek’s personality is so nice

Im not gonna try to learn how to speedrun still watching this cause your just entertaining.

I wanted to get into minecraft speedrunning but didnt know what the hell I was doing so thank you for these guides!

unironically the best tutorial ive ever seen

Welcome to the underworld!

i have learnt from rekrap more than i have learned in school in a while thanks mr.rek

i love you rekrap i needed this i have been looting bastions without any knolege for far to long let thy man be hated no mor

I love this series already

This is probably the best speedruning tutorial i have seen on youtube I wanted to get into speedruning but could not navigate the nether Thank you for the amazing tutorial keep it up 👍

Dude this helped me so much thanks parker.

you know its a good day when Parker drops a 40-minute speedrunning tutorial

I swear I've started using some of the tricks like the pie chat to my advantage in normal survival worlds and I'm like THIS close to beginning to learn how to speedrun because of your vids, it looks like so much fun and all the tech is hecking sick. Awesome new vid as always!

Great series, helped me a ton, and I just got sub 14 thx to u

Ive watched I think all your speedruns and u inspired me to speed run too, get I didn’t need to watch this video but I rage quit once I died at the bastion. I can just see u get SO exited by explaining all this and I just wanna say thank you for making videos:) you’re my favorite youtuberrrr

Super helpful tutorial! I’m genuinely gonna get into speed running because of you. Thanks, Parker

Rek went from a notorious trapper, to a goddamn decent speedrunner.

This is the best class I have ever taken

This was an amazing video, i had all of the bastion routes down except for stables and of course my favourite youtuber comes in clutch

My past week has been a rekrap binge watch

This helps way too much. Thanks for making this video, this is the best speedrunning tutorial in youtube

Can we appreciate how rekrap is helping us become good speedrunners like him

Thank you so much for your 3 tutorials, i have always wanted to speedrun Minecraft and my dream comes true thanks to you

Very easy to follow and detailed tutorial with resources to boot. Mad props!

Honestly Rekrap is the only modern day tutorial for speedrunning out there!!

This is a super epic video! I'm not really a speed runner, but I've learnt some new things I didn't know which would be handy in a normal survival world. Thanks!

Does anyone else learn speedrun strats even though you have no intention of actually speedrunning? I just want to be better at the game in general, and things like the fast portals are really nice when you're exploring the overworld and want to get home.

man, speedrunning is the only thing I can't do in minecraft. I pride myself in building, pvp, survival, farm building, and random useful mechanics of the game, and I even do some redstone, but the best time I got for speedrunning is 2.5 hours. This will rly be helpful. thx rek

Bastions are so complex, thank you so much for going over all of that :D

I’ve been practicing the last video! Can’t wait to see what this one has to say! Thank you Rek!!

the fact im watching this video with no intent on trying to speedrun shows how entertaining rek is

Thank you so much rek, your tutorials are amazing and it has helped me learn bastion routes easily. Im so excited for the end and what I will learn from it

omg you put so much effort in that video that definetely deserves a sub

Thanks Rek! I have found this super helpful!

Finally I can appreciate watching speedruns now! Thanks rek!

Another day, another dopamine boost from rek posting

Ive been watching and have been getting better at speedrunning. Thanks Rek!!

Half of the nether part is just blackmailing piglins

I find it kinda funny that I know most of this already 5mins in bc of all of his speed running videos I've watched!!!! 😂 🤣

Nice. This is so good. Keep it up!

I don’t even speedrun or have any plans to speedrun in the future but I like your videos so I be watchin your nearly hour long vids.Idk what it is that you do but thank you and good luck

This helps so much, I just got java edition of minecraft and i am new to keyboard and mouse I usually play on controler and now after one day of grinding I feel like i played on keyboard and mouse to months and i just got 3:35 on the bridge bation

I play on bedrock so 90% of these methods don't work but I still watch bc the videos are so cool

Love the vids keep up the good work 😊

As soon as I saw this video was released, I SPAMMED the like button

Is it just me, or does killing the dragon with string sound at least a little ridiculous?

i havent been able to finish nether EVER thanks this was very usefull

"... and some string to kill the dragon." Think about that.

U gotta be so talented to teach others to be talented.

I watched the first one a bit ago and this one was even better keep up with the amazing work 😅

See, I wish I could start practicing but I broke my wrist yesterday 😢 very useful and I liking so I can come back to it 😊

you should make the next episode about the mods you use for speedrunning

I find it funny that the way he is telling us where to go is like some hotel butler navigating us through a royal hotel; "...so now we're on the right side we're gonna take the first right down..."

I've been considering speedrunning minecraft after I saw the part 1 of this tutorial but man the nether side is much more complicated

6:04 Happy that u explained that cuz so many people dont know this

Yo bro you are doing an amazing work...all the bastion stuff was really easy to understand and super helpfull but...the pie chart and fortress is just chaos i can t understand a thing but overall its a great video thank you very much!!

Honestly, rek is one of the most knowledgeable( i don't if its a real word:>) speedrunners out there. Hats off to you man.

I’m early and don’t regret it. Love the vids Rek

I love how one of his files is titled “Fundy.png”😂

Thank you so much for making these speedrunning tutorials, Rek. The last video helped a lot, and I'm excited to try out some of the techniques you show in this video!

Help and credits - Right Click 😂 love it

Ok last sort-of omission, with the pie chart. Rekrap mentioned that the fortress can anywhere in the detected direction, but he didn't completely explain what that means. What it means is that the spawner you pick up can be very, very diagonal. You get 25 chunks positive x, you travel 25 chunks positive x and you see nothing at all. Your spawner can at this point be a couple hundred blocks or more to the left or to the right, because the game couldn't tell the difference between that and straight ahead. Luckily, fortresses are very large structures, so as long as the terrain is open, most of the time you're going to spot some part of it even if it's not where the spawner is. But it is possible that you don't, and it doesn't mean you did anything wrong. If you feel something like this might be happening, you can always piedar a second time and see if the direction is now different. Finally, true diagonal is also possible, where the initial piedar doesn't even work as usual. But it's not common.

Its kinda weird, but i identified housing by the nether wart. Which way is easier?

Hey rek, I have a question, do foretresses spawn with no blaze spawner because I tried the trick and I couldn't find the blaze spawner. I did some research and it said that they can spawn with no blaze spawner but I hate to believe that I found 3 nether fortresses and they all had no blaze spawner. BTW Keep up the good work!🙂

33:25 anyone who's also struggling to figure out the "fancy way" of transferring items: instead of pressing shift and thinking "hotkey double click hotkey", think "hotkey click hotkey click" works every time if you do it reasonably fast

thank you so much im getting into speedrunning and u helped me A LOT tysm!

Me who memorized the chest locations so i get the loot first than my friends:

Anyone else not care about speedrunning and is only here for rekrap and his commentary?

Hey Rek almost at 500,000 subs congratulations man

When you study minecraft more than your studies😂😂

thank you Rekrap i will take this speedrunning quality and legitimacy and make Dream roll in his grave You have been truly the best

41 minutes of rekrap1?!?! YESSSIR

i love ur vids pls make a vid for finding end portal fast and dragon fight like doing one-cycle

Thank you so much for this video I have been trying to find out how to speed run and you made it better!

instructions unclear, got killed by a brute almost everytime

Thanks for the tutorial always helps so much 💕

nether has to be my favourite part of the run

All bastion routes 12:18 bridges 17:14 treasure

bro this is so cool, only thing is that... i only watch the 2 videos because honestly. i just want to gain gear in a public server. STIL THOUGH IM SO EXCITED TO TEST THIS OUT.

After a few hours of practice I got housing done in 1.58 seconds. Stats: 27 pearls 21 Obsidian 82 String Great tutorial

4:49 you could also turn off fog (Video settings > details > fog)

God bless you tysm I've been trying to learn pie chart for ages

if a portion has a bad gap, can we ignore it except for the chest?
