Exploring the brimstone ocean islands directly above Alpha base, looking for nether swine and dauth sand, right after we began our challenge:
The entrance to Bravo Base, built the second day of the nether challenge:
The upper cavern, near Bravo base.. I think?
Charlie base:
Charlie base bunker room, built by Nakilashiva and I:
Dresdan having a bed glitch:
Exploring the cavern outside of Charlie base with nhryciw1:
The first Dungeon Masters discovered! (they killed nhryciw1)
A lava spill flowing down a ledge. I first noticed it when I was directly underneath it, it was a bit scary looking up and seeing lava coming down on you!
DM Hunting with GoldFireUn, Dresdan, and nhryciw1. DM's gave valuable resources that were either very hard to find, or in the case of diamonds, impossible to find in the nether. These Dungeon Masters provided the much required climbing picks that were used to tunnel upwards.
An interesting find:
A nice view of the cavern outside of charlie base:
Groups of nether swine. They soon became bags after taking this picture:
The salt farm that I built in charlie base. Prairiesky tended to it:
More Hunting:
Tunneling up from Echo base:
I helped dig the shaft upwards with Nakilashiva and Dresdan, but eventually we ran out of supplies and were forced to make a temporary base in a skeleton and DM infested cavern. To make matters even worse a lava spill came over a ledge and flooded our shaft, nearly killing everybody and trapping Greybeard and Prairiesky in it, whom were both on their way up to give the tunnelers fresh supplies.
The lava spill that came down the ledge at Temp G1. Unfortunately, despite the wall our shaft still became flooded:
An angry DM outside of Temp G1:
GoldFireUn killing the angry DM:
Unfortunately I didn't get any pictures of Echo base, but here is my inventory as I move to it:
My diamond armor, completely crafted from dungeon master diamonds:
A climbing pick being repaired, also crafted from dungeon master diamonds:
-25090, almost out of the nether!
A few minutes later, we enter into a cave realm. The floor is nether rack, but the ceiling looks different!
The first diamonds and mithril, found naturally in stone! It was very refreshing to see these:
Early construction of Tranquility base:
Greybeard was finding plenty of mithril. He already had a full set of armor shortly after we arrived in the stone layer:
The Bedroom Protector. It was tedious adding everyone...
The first nyan cat found in a large cavern above Tranquility base!
Another nyan cat in the same cave! This was the start of building rainbow transports and no longer having to climb several thousand meters of ladder and shaft to transport supplies. I am sure everyone knows how grueling that was:
A completely lit up cavern:
Dungeon Master hunting is over, nyan cat hunting is now the new rage:
Tranquility base bunker, with everyone moved in:
I visited the nether again, probably to build a transport or a salt farm since they didn't grow in the stone layer. kievski apparently ran into trouble attempting to reach us:
Another nether visit. The Dungeon Masters were happy to see me:
The first Cave Realm!
Tranquility base farm. It is probably more expensive then most people's farms on the surface, due to the high amount of materials used to make it work underground:
Tranquility base transports:
Tranquility base bluegrass farm:
A relaxing room in the base. It was the only room with no use:
Nyan cat hunting again!
I found another one, and ran out of cobble to bridge to it. I only had nyan cats:
I found a third nyan cat in the same area:
Then I found a fourth, and a fifth:
Then a sixth:
All in all, I believe I found seven nyan cats in the same part of a cave realm.
WE REACHED THE SURFACE!
nhryciw1 had made it to the surface with obsidian gates. Greybeard and I made the rainbow transports all the way up to the surface next to his gates so that others could follow:
Transporting to the city on Feral's teleport chain!
Dresdan and I attempting to blow each other up:
And there we made it! It was very lucky that I claimed victory as soon as I reached the central square, as Dresdan shot an arrow at me 30 seconds after I did while I was cloaked. I died and went all the way back to Tranquility base where my bed was set. It wasn't so bad though as I had to go back anyway and get all my goodies I left behind.
