  • The structure known as "Highblock Castle" encompasses the last three levels of Minecraft Dungeons. But this isn't just any kind of Illager fortress, and those redstone golems and monstrosities aren't without their quirks.
    This place harbors ancient and forgotten secrets to be revealed. A history to be made clearer than ever before.

    This would fit the Solemn Giant being an ancient boss set in the Obisidian Pinnacle and having enderman as "minions", it would be an ancient reflected from that period and reveals that enderman were indeed in the halls and facilities of Highblock Castle.

    This just got me thinking. If the Illagers served/lived alongside ender beings somewhere between the Minecraft Legends and vanilla timeline, then amongst other implications, they were more than likely the ones who taught them magic. It actually makes perfect sense, since most spells casted by the Illagers are connected to the end in multiple ways: Evokers emit the end's purple aura while summoning vexes, who are in turn connected to the guardian vexes in many ways; illusioners emit the same aura while teleporting in and out, which also just happens to be an ender skill; Mages and Iceologers use telekinesis/levitation, which is part of the end's technology; Enchanters and enchanting in general emits the same aura, Endersents themselves are enchanted thanks to the eyes, the Arch-Illager is able to enchant and even "power up" other Illagers and himself thanks to the orb etc. So they all are using the end as their source of power here, and their ability to do so is apparently something they are born with according to the novel, something that Archie curiously wasn't? And yet, despite all these unique abilities, they are unable to craft potions, a much more basic and overworld related type of magic, one that witches, villagers and even heroes seem to have learned by themselves.
    I wonder what else did they take from ender beings..

    As someone who loves replaying Dungeons and similar adventures for the sake of inspiring myself to, one day, "make my own fairy tale?"
    I always loved these videos that looked into the details that were put into making the world of a playable fantasy!
    However, I think one important detail we should bring up is that *_the Highblock Keep was basically a "primary base of operations" for Archie and co. during his Domineering, per se._*
    Practically speaking, it'd no sense for it to NOT have architecture or decorations that cater to the Illagers - but there's no mistaking that these look more like "edits" than actual designs made by Illagers. They're notorious for being lousy workers, sadly...
    That's why they encage Allays, after all, for those who remember that they can build and gather resources in Minecraft Legends... >_

    • @lois3469
      @lois3469 19 днів тому +5

      I also think that it could be ancient builders. But we know for a fact that ocean monuments were built by villagers, because it is filled with guardians golems and in dungeons, there are unique villegers statues all over the place.

  • @thedragonsden2004
    @thedragonsden2004 18 днів тому

    When it was said that the doors are too tall for any human, my mind jumped to the idea that perhaps the dragons made it before they, and the builders wiped themselves out
    I’ve often hypotheses that the pillars in jean’s bossfight were the remains of an end castle
    and that modern end creatures now deal with a virus that basicaly zombifies them (pretty much endermites in the head)
    Leading the Jean destroying her own home as she decends into madness alongside the rest of the people of the end
    I do believe the heart of the end my be what possessed Jean
    The question remains though, if the endermen still exist, where are the rest of the dragons, because if the endermen still exist, why not the much larger, smarter, and stronger dragons

    What if the HoE wasn't just a sole leader back then?
    Also, I've seen theories about players as the precious leader of highblock before, but yeah this idea about Endermen is compelling. I personally don't see yet why endermen *ruled* it necessarily. Why couldn't they just have lived there, to serve either a player or villager?

    Why do all the bad guys always get the good stuff, seriously these guys have a whole castle, extreme magical knowledge, and an army outfitted with high-quality gear. We (the players) have nothing but the clothes on our backs, living in a small house and gear we pretty much had to steal to fight our way through foreign borders to usurp a king. We don't even get to keep the castle, nor the necromancer staff (the narrator said we destroyed it) so we can't get our own army. All this trouble to help villagers who were too racist to offer refuge to singular banished illager.🤣🤣😉Sorry for the long rant

    I only have the doubt, if the Redstone monstrosity was made by the Eye of Ender, why would it have the same symbol on its shoulders as the First of Stone?
    I also think that regarding the symbol of the cross, the villages of Mc Legends also had it.
    Outside of that, if the video was only about dungeons I would cancel the comment

    • @Dragonseer666

      The cross with the gap is also used in Squid Coast and Pumpkin Pastures, so it's probably a dymbol used by Villagers and Illagers both, quite commonly at that

    • @WitherKing001
      @WitherKing001  19 днів тому +1

      @Dragonseer666 That specific banner with the cross you're talking about is actually from the Illagers. We can see them carrying in the opening cinematic as they approach the Squid Coast. They very likely put these banners here to mark them as a place they've conquered since they have or are invading them by the time we get to those places respectively.
