I think the reason the warden didn't spawn was because you manually placed down the shriekers.

Here's a fun fact about sculk shriekers if you place it or generated from catalysts it sets the "Can_Spawn" tag to false while naturally generated shriekers the tag is set to true

There's just something about this guy's content that makes me watch it for years

What we expected: Toycat dying over and over trying to kill the Warden What we got: Toycat taking way too much damage breeding turtles

I’m always too scared to go to the nether/the end/ancient cities so I live vicariously through your videos. Loved this one! Thanks for posting!

I decided to colonize a seed that was vast (possibly infinite) ocean in 3 out of 4 directions before caves & cliffs. I have a very intimate relationship with the life cycle of turtles. I wear my turtle helmet almost always totally un-ironically

Thank you, Harrison, for including the unedited gold at the end

I've never made a turtle helmet or the turtle master potion because I was way to impatient to wait for the babies to grow up. Now I know you just have to feed them. 😅

17:40 very impressive how you take almost no damage! Toycat is yes!!!

The reason why the warden wasn’t spawning was because it can only spawn from naturally generated Skulk Shriekers. :)

Holy sweet mother of god, Toycat's literally scaring a mountain away! XD

Potion of The Turtle Master finally has a use!

3:51 this entire scene makes me feel like the cat in Sam o'Nellas swiss mix video, when he's reading the instructions and you know he's about to get mad. But seriously, resistance III or IV is the most powerful effect to have in survival fights, reducing damage by ANOTHER 60-80%. So to counterbalance this, they gave it the most difficult potion ingredient to obtain, as well as giving you slowness, as well as having it only last 20-40 seconds. The other two ways to get it are Notch Apples, the rarest item in the game, (unless you are in an ancient city, they hand them out like candy) and the beacon, which you in order to get, you need to defeat arguably the hardest boss in the game, and then get 4 stacks of blocks of rare minerals, and then you only get resistance I-II, which is only half as strong as the resistance you get from the turtle master. That is how powerful Mojang thought resistance was. Honestly, even if you need 5 scutes, it's still easier and more powerful than any other method for getting the effect.

My theory on that weird terrain generation bug is that it’s updated generation trying to combine with old chunks, for some reason visible before the whole process finishes

10:55 you could also take any spare enchanted apples with you.

The creeper in the turtle farm had me so nervous for a second

Your content helps me get through some sad and tough times because it's so chill, I always watch one of your episodes before going to bed so I can fall asleep. Thank you for all the videos.

I like how you pointed out why you use a HELMET to brew a potion. Sculk shriekers are months old and you still haven't had them figured?

Keep doing the good work, ibxtoycat

Don't you just _love_ that one of the most useless potions is also one of, if not _the_ hardest to make?

This is the type of videos we need here, no extre screaming with awkward editing ! This is it

Warden probably only isn't considered an undead mob (despite the fact that it physically looks skeletal and undead) because the devs did not want the warden to have any weakness of any kind

Could swear that if you personally placed the shreiker it WON'T summon anything

In conclusion, all you need to defeat the warden is the Minecraft equivalent of performance enhancement drugs.

That was a very strange bug with the disappearing mountain. I've never seen that before and I'm kinda curious now as to how that happened.

The reason why the turtles grew up as soon as you fed them is because baby’s take ten minutes to grow up and every food item you give a baby shortens the time by a minute so when you feed the baby’s nine minutes had already passed so that sea grass finished it off

congratulations on wrecking that warden, very impressive!

i remember doing something like this abit ago, i used: -netherite with protection 4 (unbreaking too because he'll damage it badly) -punch 5 bow -sharpness 5 sword -a single golden apple (not enchanted) -turtle master potion (increased the affects with glowstone) -night vision so u can see past the darkness a little (optional but recommended) -and a strength 2 the strategy is to consume ur apple, strength 2 and nightvision as the warden spawns, shoot it with ur bow until it starts charging and feels too close, and (this is the fun part) drink your turtle master potion and just keep swinging at him (jump to crit obviously), you will become so tanky that you will kill him before he manages to kill you. this even works in hard mode if you're wondering (also the warden gives you roughly 3 warnings till he actually spawns)

When we went from 1.6 to 1.7, new chunks commonly were sheer cliffs like that. But today? No, that's just a weird bug. You probably wouldn't see that if you made your next mega-project on some random pre-1.0 version. Which would actually be a good video.

I’m so excited to be here so early. Your videos have been an inspiration to me. Thank you.

We had a tunnel with tracks that went all the way to the ancient city via the End Portal in the world we lost to a power outage (file corruption afterwards). Man, we miss that world terribly.

Correction, an enchanted netherite sword and the will to use it, that’s all

I made a video on Reddit about this showing how having the right items and potions , it's easy. Nice one toycat!

The warden can only spawn from a shrieker that naturally generated. If you break and replace it the warden wont spawn from it but it still makes the noises

Toycat: has no clue why the warden ain't spawing Me: knows every warden spawn mechanic in existance

The reason that the Warden didn’t spawn in is because Wardens are afraid of Cats… or perhaps it might have something to do with only naturally spawning Sculk Shriekers being able to summon Wardens, but I’m pretty sure that the Warden was just scared…

IBXToycat has learned how to become an avengers level threat

12:25 "Minecraft are you.. ok??" Minecraft: "NO MAN I AM NOT OK, I HAVE NO IDEA WHATS GOING ON HERE."

thanks mister turtle

Eventually not even turtles would be able to kill the Waren, but it was fun while it lasted

amazing video as always

Karma for me not keeping up to date on all of the toycat livestreams lately, I was totally confused at 15:30 😂

SoB... the cats in the background at ~10min mark had me looking out my window for lost kittens for a HOT minute. Sounds playing tricks today.

WHAT THE HECK I NEVER KNEW POTION OF TUTLR MASTER EVEN EXISTED.. HOW

Big cheese

You should always be somewhat concerned when someone says “you’ll lose 90% of your speed which makes it a little bit questionable on that front.”

Hello Toycat. Yes.

This was really cool actually!

Toycat, a Warden will not spawn from a shrieker that wasn't there when the chunk generated. In other words, if you pick a shrieker up and put it back down, or if you produce one with a catalyst, it's just a fancy noise maker.

You can use honey bottle to get ride of the bad effect

Lol I like how kingbdogs made it so you can't beat it with combat but now you can with potions lol

This was actually super impressive

It really depends on how you look at "cheating," when it comes to killing the Warden because I found another way to kill the Warden. This method is not recommended for hardcore unless you have a bunch of totems of undying. This method actually allows you to die a bunch of times and still keep killing the Warden. As a disclaimer, I have no idea if anyone ever tried this before at least I've never seen anyone do this but it really works, and I've already killed the Warden at least 13 times in a row with this method. Anyway, it's a 9 step process to start with, but you can repeat the process from step 7 so it's really not too much. The things you really need: a building, a designated shrieker, a weapon, a bed, food, and a pathway for navigation through the darkness effect. 1. You build a odd numbered, 7x7, 9x9, building somewhere outside of an ancient city or of course in the deep dark somewhere where you can get to a shrieker and just run to the building. make sure it's a single door, hence why it's an odd numbered building. (have a level to the ground doorway so you can just run inside) 2. build a wall around the building so the Warden can't wander off too far, too fast either (not that it really matters for this method, but proper precautions) 3. Find the designated shrieker and make sure you have plenty of wool to cover it in the meantime. (best to only have 1 shrieker) 4. make a pathway directly to the building. Darkness effect, happens to be the thing with wardens and you're gonna need something to follow and find your way home. (I use torches, but of course could also use redstone or a waterway which is almost too tedious to make or expensive) 5. You need a bed and a weapon (diamond sword recommended or fully upgraded, whatever, you just need a really good weapon). The bed goes in the building next to the door. The weapon is obviously your tool for the kill. 6. Remove all gear and every item in your inventory in a chest. Make sure you have food in there just in case. (you also need to heal after every success) 7. All that's left is to set the respawn point and summon Mr. Warden. Simply use your trusty bed, then go remove some wool and pop up the rude blue dude. (make sure he's charging at you in the chase. You want him right outside the door. Also don't die before reaching your building. 8. In this battle dying doesn't matter, losing exp. doesn't matter, losing items doesn't matter. You'll only get a catalyst so you don't really really need to worry about exp. Each warden killed means basically infinite exp. You're spawn point is right next to you so you can just get back up and keep killing it. Also since you only have the one weapon, you can just pick it back up when you respawn. 9. Yes, you just keep fighting it in the doorway over and over again until it's dead, and it doesn't matter how much you die in the process. I call this method the "ingenious cabin phoenix punishment method," or (ICPP) for short because it's actually a really funny abbreviation, but it's also kind of a cowardly method too. Regardless of this, it really works and again I'm not taking full credit just in case someone already tried this. I just don't know of anyone else who actually has tried it either.

Potions take up too much inventory space, you're better off with a full beacon for most of those effects and then you can drink the turtle master potions if you want

Yes

I knew this was wrong but for some reason this giga chad had me thinking something else for a second at 18:25

Ah yes I need a NBT editor, a command block, and a world backup. 3 "items"

those mountains had a bedrock moment

Ooh the suspense, i knew you wouldnt forget the beacon

Does ibxtoycat respond to fans?

Have u seen the methods that speedrunners use? They get a trapdoor and some dripstone and go up high and drop dripstone on its head. I think the record is like sub 1 minute

Killing the warden in Minecraft vs killing a dungeon guardian in Terraria

It is fun (and instructive) when you spend a loooooooong time making something, and then you find out "oh, you just need to bonemeal it". I wanted to make a detector rail, and I needed a stone pressure plate, so I spent a loooooong time until I got a silk touch pickaxe to get the stone. Later I watched a how-to video on making a stone generator. It was just a cobblestone generator but smelted afterward. Oh, smelt cobblestone to get stone. And I just searched for smooth stone, which is just smelting again!

im newer to the channel, and i am gonna try and watch the series form start to finish. how long do you think that would take?

First time I've seen the warden go down without cheese. well played.

It's the light level, and can only spawn in darkness. Also if you picked it up and placed it down, it won't spawn

If the warden was a dark souls boss he would be the easiest to defeat.

SUPER NICE I thought the fight would be longer, someone better show Luke the Notable this

I can't believe he'd diss the Bane of Arthrobros like that

🎉

Oh toycat, you could've just bone meal any pond to get seagrass, didn't need to go so far for that 😭

There is a much more simple answer. God apples. The ancient city has some amazing loot, including usually over 5 god apples per ancient city. If you have a full set of protection 4 thorns 3 netherite armor, which Toycat advised even for his method, the regeneration from one god apple is enough to keep you alive for the whole fight. Without thorns, you may need 2 god apples. Go ahead and test it. As long as you are constantly hitting the warden, it will look like you will die a couple times, but you will win the fight. I play on a phone, so my ability to hit quickly is less than most of you intending to fight the warden in survival, so if I can do it, surely you can too.

That beacon design is evil, take your interaction for that, you earned it.

10:49, ibxtoycat did you know that I have 11 stacks of golden apples thanks to my gold farm

The dark lord has returned ⚫

I dont think the warden is something that exist before it appears"" i think the warden is created... i used to think that he came from the other side of the portal but with the sculk ecosystem i honestly think its created simply and only to clear the area of moving targets to increase growth / make sure growth continues

i killed the warden twice in my ssp world with no gear as a challenge, (no cheats.) how i did it was i spawned him in, lured him to my base, turned on immediate respawn, and got rid of my gear and spammed critical hits at him, when i would die i respawned on my bed and kept spamming critical hits at him, until eventually, he died and i repeated the process. takes foreeeeeeeeeeeever though.

I was going to say "he's playing on easy, that obviously wouldn't work on hard", but then I started the game on my fone and sure enough, it IS enough to kill the warden on hard. Just the full enchanted netherite armor set, sharp V sword, a totem and the potion was enough. A golden apple and a strength potion help a lot too, and if you can, a regen beacon, because the apple regen last only like 4 seconds

I bet you 5 dollars that he finds the string at some point in the future

12:30 Toycat found the Shadowlands of Ashaii lol

When I farm scutes, I put 4 stairs around the egg, and solid blocks above the stairs, so that when they grow up, they won't suffocate or scatter around, and simply get pushed out of that 1 by 1 hole through the stairs, when they grow up.

Need to be naturally generated. Can use mined ones to spawn one.

Bit of a dumb question I know and not really related to the build but I found it while watching this video but were the rooms with all the switches and redstone always under the ancient city portal looking thing? (I am very bad at redstone so I don't know what it does 😂).

1:27 Honestly kinda surprised you didn't know that.

"The medium salmon edition" 😁

1000s of blocks!? Did you forget that seagrass can be made from bone mealing the seafloor? Edit: yes yes you did, but you remembered

the satire going on throughout the entire video 😂😂😂😂

First! I'm happy that this video is up, the Warden scares me so much!

Fun fact: you can actually get sculk catalysts from chests

Did you get your bane of arthropods axe from a villager trade as well?

How does the wonder chest help you retrieve items if you were to die ? I’m confused.

I've experienced that lighting glitch I mainly happened to me cause I edited the the map with a external program and I had to optimize the map to fix it

Am I the only person who thought Toycat was Spiff for a moment when the turtle potion rage was going on?

was going to say speedrunners know best but then you said no cheesing it :( (WR is 1:04)

I was about to comment about the fact that you can grow turtles with searass riiiiiight before the AHA moment

the warden only spawns everytime you activate a naturally-spawned sculk shrieker after the first three times of activating one...more accurately each sculk shieker has a (nbt) tag that dictates if it can spawn a warden and it's changed to False if it's placed by a player tho if you change that tag to True, which isn't possible in pure vanilla survival without cheats, only then can you get it to spawn a warden...yes, even outside a deep dark biome iirc

that feel when toycat doesn't realize man made shriekers do not summon wardens Xd

If you're are on bedrock use a Trident with impaling 5 since the enchant will be dealing 21.5 damage or 10.75 hearts and then apply strength 2 with critical hits and you'll be be dealing 21 hearts of damage. That means be dies in 12 hits which is nice

Cool!

haha bye bye nerd warden
