Hello, Weeping Angel?

I mean if they are stone, we have ways of breaking stone...

Anyone else thinking up sneaky ways of countering this thing? If it is a weeping angel style mob, I think it could be beaten by a properly shaped archway cage thing...

These would definitely depend on the shape, but I like the idea of needing to make little shark cages... Except for ghasts in regular intervals throughout hell.

Of course, Ghasts could also have a ranged attack like skeletons, thus why Notch would have trouble killing it without a bow...

If that were the case, I doubt it would be the weeping angel thing everyone is talking about then. A weeping angel with ranged attacks? That would be impossible to beat. :S Assuming it is a melee monster, I am confident in the sneaky power of cages. If it is ranged, then I guess glass panic rooms will have to be made all throughout hell. Think Tardis? Put a little 2x3x3 box of glass out there with a portal to the outside world, and maybe a steel door, and then use that to escape the mean ol' Ghast's grasp.

Yeah, we really won't know how to combat this thing until the update comes. Only 10 more days... sigh...
Still interesting to theorize. I wonder if we could trap it with a pressure plate and a closing door, then take careful potshots with arrows? I like that idea, will have to try trapping creepers and zombies like that and see how it goes.

I heard that even Notch himself couldn't kill the Ghast. That probably says that he might make it weaker or give you a possible better weapon. Maybe like a rifle.

Bet you didn't think creepers could come out a ceiling.
Hrmm, one person will have a hard time killing one... so in order to invade the Netherworld, we need a group to secure the area around the portal and to keep the place secure against the ghast hordes, let alone any other hordes.
Has Notch said that mobs can move through the portals too?
Game over, man, game over.
He hasn't, but part of me hopes they do.
This way it'd be a bit like in stargate...
To prevent random creatures pouring from the portal you'd need to secure it well.
...although I can't see hell's creatures reacting very well to sunlight. haha
A ghast is immune to fire, but not to sunlight?
Thats just silly.
I figured maybe i could import some of the bloody cobble from the hell world, spread it out in a underground cavern, and get me some ghasts! If im right, don't mobs spawn based on what tiles? For example, animals only spawning on grass.

One day, there will be someone who looks at my signature and wonders "who gives a damn?"
That's interesting. Wonder what the big black circle is for. Can't picture an exact shape for it yet.
I'm looking at it, and if it follows the same pattern at the normal human texture, everything except for the thing in the top left corner is the head (front, back, left side, right side, top, bottom), but that would imply that it's just a big head on top of some thing. However, the texture is pretty big, alot bigger than the human texture, so the ghast really will be big.
Somewhere on the thread, Notch said it'll be Four meters.. Which is.. fourish blocks?.. (I've never gotten how the blocks 'convert' into meters)
I dident even know they did... 1 meter every 2 blocks? I dont even know, lol
Guys, I HAVE A PLAN, make random shelters in the real world so that if a protal is nearby and mobs can come through them we have a sheleter, too bad we dont know where is will be. Heres what im going to do. Make LOTS and lots of arrows so that if the ghast will be long ranged we can take the thing on. Imm preparing from this day and all I needa do is make a lot of a arrows and swords (Diamond Swords) and make heaps of iron arrmor, I've already got one set :biggrin.gif:.
I think the ghast wont be long ranged. Because seriously, it would be imposible (nearly)
Also BIOMES I know im of topic but guys, WE FINNALY GOT THEM :biggrin.gif:

I mean if they are stone, we have ways of breaking stone...
This is very simply explained, they "kill" you by touching you. A hammer is a melee weapon. If 1 touch is what it takes, then I don't think you want to be up close and personal with it, especially when you're not even certain it'll break, or that breaking it will really kill it.
We should be able to use TNT to kill off a WeepingAngel type mob, as they can explode when we're not looking at it. Just drop some TNT, hit it, run away, and hope it makes the monster go boom.

It was sarcasm. If he didn't want it being talked about, then he wouldn't have shown it to a public forum.

What if someone fails to properly contain a portal. Or everyone's first portal is just out in the open.
What if we don't build the portal decontamination JUST right.
What's to stop these things from flooding our homeplane.
I need a drink...
