How in heck are you supposed to beat the Zombie Pigmen? Do I need a special weapon or something? Because I was shooting it with arrows for a good two to three minutes before engaging it with my diamond sword.... and the thing still killed me! Have you guys had any luck?
That was the best map I ever played! By the way... do you think you can make A Herobrine's Mansion 2, like you did with the walls and the walls 2?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
I have two problems: one, some of the mobs seem a bit op, like the skeleton king has an insane amount of knockback, and I couldn't hurt him with a bow (not sure if bug or not), so the battle was basically me constantly running towards him, hoping to actually get there in time. zombie pigmen are really hard too. I think they have a bit too much health given the fact, that you can barely get close to them (to hit them) without getting half-dead. Using a bow takes really long too, because you have to get far enough.
They're boss mobs and Elite mobs - they're SUPPOSED to have an insane amount of health and be ridiculously hard, because you get rewarded with valuable armor or currency if you manage to beat them.
The Skeleton King can be easily sniped from a distance, and is a relatively easy boss compared to other ones.
Zombie pigmen drop diamond gear - they're intentionally hard to kill. I would recommend spamming arrows at them when they get too close, so you can gain some distance to swing your sword.
The second problem is that with the keep inventory gamerule death isn't a bad thing at all. You get a health and hunger regen and get out of the fight for a bit. I know it's a hard decision, because losing all your stuff at a boss fight wouldn't be good either.. But this is something I noticed: After a couple of death, I was just like "meh, let's start again. if I die again, then I die..", instead of cursing at the game and myself
You can't really regain or "farm" the loot/armor/weapons, and Hypixel doesn't want you to lose them.
If /gamerule keepInventory was off, then it would involve repeatedly hitting the Wither with your fist for 3 hours. (and that's not too fun)
I also have a few questions: how do you do that the bosses always drop a music disk? Also, why don't the two villagers wander off? is it just because it's night?
I'm not too sure - I think you can set it in NBTedit.
As for the villagers, it's hard coded in the Villager AI that villagers don't leave houses until it turns daytime. (which it never will)
Well made map, me and my 3 friends thouroughly enjoyed playing it. It doesn't take too long and it's super entertaining, well laid out, and perfectly timed when you want something fun to happen it does!
A critique is the lag the redstone and command blocks caused my server, which is built with 1 gig of ram and could handle easily 30+ people on survival.
Other than that it was extremely fun, and I really liked it. Easy diamond, and thank you!
Amazing map. Best one I've ever played. Only one problem... It seems to be impossible for me to get past the Herobrine boss fight because the game keeps crashing. I load back in, and within 3-5 seconds it crashes again.
Great map and great idea's for it. I've almost beat it but I'm stuck at the Wither. I feel that there are some changes that need to be made, such as; The skeletons have waaaaay too much of a knock back for it to be fair and is quite annoying. The pigmen zombies are way too hard to kill as well without dying five or more times. Also the last boss, at the portal with the two villagers you should put an enderchest beside them so you can look through your stuff and get whatever you need without having to go down into the room on the top left of the staircase. With the boss itself, the Whiter. It is way too strong and also the bombardment of all of the Whithered skeletons are a bit much. Too much of them spawn and mess up your chances of hitting the Whither, plus when the Whither gets into lava or has it aero force field it regenerates health too fast to be able to get any hits in to kill it. But other than that it's a pretty fun map, hope to be able to kill the Whither soon.
I saw Part one of it bye skydoesminecraft and i like how if you kill a monstar that it would drop armour or weapons so that was cool over alli will dowload it once i get my laptop back because i,m not a map expert beacuse ive only play 2 maps archer hero and the dropper so i will like this and it looks fun so good job hypixel
This is the VERY BEST map I have EVER Played!!!!!! If I had it, you would get 5143 diamonds, plus all the emeralds you can keep in a room full of chests.
Because there's about 5.5k meters of redstone, strategies and fully customized items.
Yes, I played the entire map beginning to end, and I died about 1,000 times. Maybe it's just me and that I suck at PvE, but the enemies are a: more powerful than you and b: more plentiful than you. That's a bit harsh, IMO.
As for the bosses, I like the concepts, but they just throw way too much at you.
The Skeleton King is probably the second easiest boss fight, next to Herobrine (which is kind of ironic, actually). However, his knockback bow sends you skyrocketing across the stage. Like the other bosses I had to back him into a corner and wail on him.
Benetha's fight is bad enough without potion rain and baby zombies who will beat you to death 20 times over if you don't notice them. The 50x zoom potions are a bit over the top too.
Arita the spider (or whatever her name was, I can't remember) had god-awful collision detection, when I was clearly hitting her and the hits didn't count. I ended up using the bow throughout most of the fight, which makes no sense.
ZATHO IS BRUTAL! Not only does he have 3 pumpkin mages to constantly wail on you, but his choking attack (he squeezes you so hard it makes you blind) is outright overpowered. It's completely random, so just when I have him backed in a corner, BAM! He picks me up and throws me again! Beyond that, he deals so much damage by himself that it feels like I respawn with 0 health. Really man?
At least Herobrine wasn't so bad. As soon as I had him locked in a corner, I could just wail on him as much as I wanted while taking little damage myself. Kind of disappointing considering the difficulty of the other bosses.
And like many others have stated, in the Wither fight, there are too many obsidian skeletons. I had to go into Creative mode just to get a good hold of him. If I didn't, I wouldn't be able to see where I was.
So, to summarize, my main problems with this map are:
Elites are a pain to kill, so fighting an elite with other enemies or multiple elites at once is downright impossible.
While the construction is certainly impressive, it's very easy to get lost in the mansion. I tried to find Benetha from Arita's chambers and only found Herobrine. Took me about 10 minutes to find her and come back.
Sometimes there's so much lag that the game crashes, at least for my 6-year-old Macbook. That's too much for a map like this, considering how localized the setting is. Must be too many enemies or potions flying around. Used Optifine, didn't mean a thing.
Regular mobs are too powerful for how weak your weapons are. Sure the enchantments are certainly nice, but they aren't enough to beat these guys, especially with the swords. Just like in the demo video, I ended up using the bow at close range, which would work just fine if the bow mechanics didn't change back in Beta 1.8.
All I ended up buying at the shop was Steak, Healing Potions, Regen Potions, and the occasional Bezerking potion. Considering how much grinding you have to do to get enough flesh and bones to buy these items, it's not worth what they cost.
Because of the sheer damage output from the enemies, I had to spawn in golden nuggets to buy the demonic set of armor. It was just too expensive for me to find them normally without dying another 500 times or so.
The bosses may be a nice touch, but the best way to defeat them is the same: lock them in a corner and pump them full of arrows. I already talked about the Wither up above.
I love the immense detail and intricacy in the design of your map, but it's just WAY too hard, even on easy mode. The map may be one of the most well-developed and designed maps out there, but I would be lying if I said it wasn't painful. That's my opinion.
I don't think you can do this without mods or tools of any sort. Like I said in my earlier post, you'd need MCEdit, NBTEdit, or some other program to make mobs with custom gear
Check out this video, it shows how to do that with MCEdit:
Hope this helps, and my apologies if it doesn't.
Thanks so much!

The final boss fight is very difficult.
The Wither + 20 Wither Skeletons = Me dying 100 times
And I was playing on easy!
