tip: punch a horse to see how fast it is so that you don't have to tame a bunch of horses and run them around to see their speed.
Noted! That should definitely save some time lol
Thanks for the tip
nice one 🎉
Just don’t tell PETA.
@@ImCrowned76Peta would kill them dw
You know a modpack is fun when farming, mining, chopping trees, not being in an enclosed room, being near caves or just playing in general all has a chance to either instantly kill you or nearly do so
6:10 i was mindblown by this secret room, i found that trapdoor but never knew about that
Several years of rlcraft, never found it😂
same
i'd consider this as one of the best rlcraft guides i've ever seen because the information is really useful. also you can occasionally pillar up and increase the render distance to locate structures and dragons, which can help you a lot if you are scared of surprise dragon encounters. you can also wait for charred/frozen blocks or fire to appear. it might take some time depending on your pc but if you're playing on hardcore and you deem your current run lucky, then i'd definitely recommend doing it.
4:50 Iron canteen, use birch wood to make paper. Amazing investment, always filter your water.
Personally I find making filters tedious, and I like using paper on upgrading villagers. In the end its totally up to the player though, I am just simple and see that fire make water good to drink.
@@Calebrune3 funnily enough, I don't do that because I think that is tedious, so each to their own.
Tbh I just make a melon farm because they give more thirst than food
@@Calebrune3 well i find purifying water tedious.....i drink it straight out of the ocean like a true man (I just get one regen ring and its usually fine, or just get some band-aids/lifesteal weapon.) its too much of a hassel to bring water and purify it
And if you want god enchant (e.g supreme sharpness, advance prot etc) for your gear you will spend most of your time travelling from one village to another
Fun fact, you can lockpick the top 2 chests and still not activate the golem.
Thanks for this tip! It's been quite awhile and I couldn't remember if it aggroed or not if you lockpicked them.
Just make Shure not to open them imminently after
i knew nothing and just started boxing everyone i saw
I was cutting down a tree earlier and was surprised by an explosion lol. This mod is difficult but that's what makes it so enticing. Also the different features added. Like being able to use weapons in your off hand
Also if you don't really fancy the thirst and temperature settings you can disable them in mod config
tour guide is actually insane , and idk how to say it but your voice make me chill , thanks!
tip for looting the top 2 chests on the battle tower: use carry (shift right click with an empty main and off hand) to pick up the chest then just jump down and place it so you can open it safely. For the chest at the highest floor, carefully place a 2x2 block on top of the chest to prevent you from accidentally opening the chest and to block the golem vision. If it's locked, you can safely lockpick it and it wont alert the golem as long as you have the 2x2 on top of the chest. Also for an easy scarlet reaver, all you need is the black heart, a diamond block which you can make by smelting found diamond armor, iron block or ore, and defilement powder which is just the mushroom in defiled lands. Use the defilement powder on the diamond block to defile it into scarlite, and on the iron to turn it into umbrium. Ez vampirism weapon
10:40 Too many people sleep on the scarlite reaver. It is an amazing early-midgame weapon because it's pretty easy to obtain (I got it when I had iron armor. Also scarlite can be found in the small villager camps in one of the chests) and the lifesteal is decent. The best part is that you barely need to level up your attack to use it. I think you need 4 attack to able to use it. You've earned a like and sub.
Its 8 in attack
this is a very nice video your voice editing and general video structure are very good for the size of your channel i hope you keep making videos in the future :3
thank god I found the perfect guide to help me in the early game, very good video :)
i know like everything about this mod pack but this was very fun to watch keep up the good stuff!
These guides are goated, you should do more detailed early, mid, late game guides
This is seriously a good guide. As an rlcraft player, you can easily tell what level someone is by their videos, and i can tell your actually good at rlcraft.
come from Reddit. Good guide, keep up the work mate. I'm waiting for your playthrough.
I've played RLcraft before and learned a lot from this video. thank you!
i made an Hardcore RLCraft playthrough because of this and my spawn immediately had a dragon 15 blocks away from me thank you for this wonderful guide (jokes aside i might take note of all the tips since i wanna reach endgame in hardcore)
Damn, cant wait to see a playthrough if you ever make it
Absolutely loved this video! tons of value. Thanks for taking your time to make this. I wonder, someone at your level in RLCraft, do ever use pets? I always gravitate towards getting a soulgazer and summoning wand to get an Aegis as my pet.
Not really, though I think taming Afrit or Arix at the start can be pretty good. The summoning staff/Aegis strat was nerfed pretty bad, so I don't really use that anymore personally. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
a good thing to have is probably a sheep farm, so you can get a lot of wool for the bandages, not sure if he mentions this or not (if you have shears)
Great vid. I've been playing RLCraft for a while and recently started hardcore attempts after beating my first assimilated enderdragon in LC. It's a completely new experience with the permadeath mechanic and much more fun. Even though I still die early game I feel like my decisions really matter and I have to calculate the risks I take very carefully. Still refuse to make farms though or go strip mine, because that's a boring way to play this game. Battle towers and exploration all the way. 🐴🏹🐲
Finally a rlcraft vid Its so hard to find a good rlcraft vid this days😂❤ 1+sub
you can lock pick chest from bt without the golem seeing you and as soon as you picked it hoppers will work
For the lucky ones to spawn in a village near defiled lands (non-swamp), just get 64 shrooms, turn to dust and you can use it on iron blocks to get umbrium ingots, diamond blocks dont actually need to be in defiled lands to use powder and make scarlite. (P.S - If you are reading this, i was lucky enough to get advanced mending and life steal 2 in my village library, slap it on a scarlite sword and you got immortality! also umbrium equipment only need level 4 skills to use and the armor gives strength and immunization which is super amazing!)
wow, an actual good guide.
I came so far in a hardcore world only to be killed by a tiger from that one mo'creatures mod I added whilst wearing iron armor because I made the decision to poke it and so it immediately one shot me on full health.
OOF
awesome guide!!
slight correction: Grues cannot move through walls, they can however teleport to you if they get line of sight, so they kindof can, but cant teleport if theres blocks between you
early game tips you can use a donkey as a horse just tame it and set horse after that you can put chest and saddle on it and you can put your loot in it die loot put die loot put die until finding perfect spawn
5:31 if you get the swarm just say goodbye to everything you love
You have a good future ahead of you :)
underrated video fr
XP Books are GODSEND, use it on early games especially when you're in a level where you cant use ur exp yet to level up skill
Haha! Great video!
u just earned a sub
4:56 blighted wraamon 😭 that’s a horror story
thanks!
Tips: make sure to settle on a grinding style, if you want a high risk high reward, go for a battle tower and invest on attack and defense. If you want a slow surefire one that will guarantee a higher floor, go for farming to make wine. You'll do both of these eventually anyway, so it's just to keep your mind on one goal. Personally I love the wine farming route. After hours of just farming in poverty, I can easly cheese a battle tower. Satisfying.
nice video
i recently fought a shambler that looked nothing like an enderman. are the enderman type from defiled and the other type from lycanites? either way, this is a really solid video and helped me a ton. thanks
Yep, they have the same name but are different! The one from lycanite is more of a mossy tree monster dude.
biggest mistake I just did yesterday is make a base at a village surrounded by 4 dragons and a battle tower is literally right next to the houses and I died so much
I feel that... trial by fire my brother. But we always prevail! 🫡
cool video what's ur pc specs ( really wanna know )
At the time I was using a laptop which was: ALIENWARE M17 R3 17.3" FHD 300Hz I7-10750H 500GB SSD 16GB WINDOWS 11 RTX 2070
@@Calebrune3 thanks
if you see a dragon near a village : 1. cut your render chunk into 2 chunk 2. loot everything you want 3. save the librarian with best trade (optional) 4. crank the render chunk back and see the village burn
when im starting out a new world, i pray to get a blight very early in a battle tower, with patience (and a water bucket to keep it away from you) its easy starting xp
Very true, though given the fact that they have thorns like 90% of the time, it always feels a bit risky XD (especially in hardcore)
@@Calebrune3 even mobs that dont have armor slots can have thorns if they are blighted, not really risky if you have healing and patience to spend 10 minutes to kill one mob lol
@@lajf28 yeah that's what I was referring to. The infernal effect is called vengeance, which is just a potion buff that gives the mob a strong varient of thorns that can reflect typically between 1.5 to 4 hearts of dmg on one body part. So one hit KO early game unless you have enchanted gear or heart crystals. You can't see the effect on blighted mobs, but its still there. If you shoot the mob with a ranged weapon from like 30ish blocks away it won't reflect tho 😎
@@Calebrune3 vengance is a bitch, way worse than blights. the worst combo is when a vengeance guy has lifesteal. its basically invincible unless you hit it for the whole hp bar in a single hit
Trueshot rings are amazing with dragons
I think you can make 2 strength rings around the mid game as long you get magma from blacksmith houses and blaze rods from a cinder farm Now strength 2 isn't that useful for most weapons especially the slower attacking ones But with nunchucks its really good (or atleast i think so) as you attack very often so you will be using the extra 6 damage per hit a lot more often
I used to do that, but the magma doesn't always drop chunks and sometimes it takes quite a few villages. If you can get them, those are for sure great, but if you don't have a mount, I've found speed rings to help with surviving in general a lot more. Ofc speed rings are just my personal recommendation, everyone has their own playstyle. And the +6 on nunchucks does sound pretty lit!
@@Calebrune3 BTW does skill touch work on them? I remember a ship, usually its floating (its also small) and has 2 villagers on it and everytime one sold skill touch
Yep!
@@Calebrune3 that's nice as I got a hippogriff via breeding rabbits in a desert village and I also have some emeralds
Ok so i explored with hippogriff and found a full diamond set, killed 2 dragons with a bow on hippogriff, and after some grinding and exploring I have almost full prot 3 diamond armour, and a nunchuck with unbre 3, sharp 4, mending, lifesteal and vamp 2, and fire aspect 2 I think now I'm gonna reforge my baubles for violent then enter some dungeon for xp as I need attack and defence level 24
Question. (I'm using a translation site, so sorry if the translation is weird) I didn't know that the level of enemy mobs increases when they are in the same chunk, and before I knew it, their level went up from 2 to 12, and I am in a tough situation with my iron equipment. The spirits that appear without warning in the caves and the small, quick enemy mobs (I really don't like the spiders and small demons that stick to their faces that are added with the Lycanites Mobs). Do you have any good countermeasures?
Yes! Levels are typically not something you need to worry about unless your dealling with lycanite fusions 12:39. The guys that appear in the caves are called darklings, and they have to ability to turn invisible in low light levels. I reccomend never going in caves until you have REALLY strong gear, or are using an invisibility potion and no armor (or leather armor) since mobs like that won't able to see you unless you walk really close to them. Let me know if that answers your questions!
@@Calebrune3 Sorry for the late reply. With the strategy of raising the HP level and using pets as decoys, the caves have become rather stable, but the dungeon system is still tough. There are too many sponers and the enemies appear too fast... At any rate, I've moved on a bit, so thanks for the advice!
I actually find Scarlet Reaver very op and I even keep it even in end game, in that time I will be rocking a flamed/ice dragon nunchuk with enchants and in my offhand a scarlet reaver also enchanted but if I am using ice nunchuk I dont enchant scarlet reaver with fire aspect. You can hold down left click then just hit with right click for scarlet reaver and if both your weapons have lifesteal and vampirism you are basically unkillable
Interesting idea! While I've never tried this myself, I do have some concerns about how those would both interact with enemies invincibility frames since nunchucks usually hit that speed by themselves. Alternatively tho you could just eat a paleo salad for insane extra healing.
nice videos you should make a playthrough would be awsome to watch🔥
I'm really considering it! Just trying to find as many ways to speed up my gameplay as I can so its more interesting :P
I can not find that song that you used, any tips on where I could listen to It?
Yep! Here's a link. on.soundcloud.com/9fz7g
2:23 thats the only reason i subscribed to you
Based.
Little known fact: RLCraft is from the old latin meaning How do you want to die today?
Wait I think your right. Didn't Julius Caesar say something like 'Veni, Vidi, RLCraft' at some point?
@@Calebrune3 Definitely.
Is there a way to remove the enhanced animations of spiders and cave spiders as Im pretty sure the only thing stopping me from fully playing this modpack is this (and maybe some other spider like enemies if there are any)
Yeah, couldn't tell you exactly what mod to disable, but you would just have to go into your mods tab in the escape menu and disable the mod that enables those animations. That goes for pretty much any mod though that you don't like, and its actually pretty common for people to disable mods like the temprature one. (I like OG experience personally tho)
if you go into the config for Mo' Bends you should be able to disable it
Thank u
Np
Hello, what mod to show the health bars of each part of your body? Or there is a setting for it?
No mod! 8:22
@@Calebrune3 ah thank you, i guess i Miss it when watching through your video
tip: krake farming is easy and just requires some raw or cooked meat
Whats the difference between stone tower shield and round shield?
There is no mechanical difference to my knowledge, is pretty much just cosmetic.
lol@@Calebrune3
bro was accedently click Q and almost there to lost his weapon
When i died i respawned in the different area i didnt respawn back to my bed, can u help me how i change it?
cool video
I was invited to a rl craft server by my friend and i got lev 8 defence and mining only i hope this lets me catch up to them in dragon armour
Can you please tell me what the music used in the video is?
Presence I by musicarus on Soundcloud!
Nice guide, really. But what happened with those rabbits feet? What are you NOT telling us?
That's classified.
Wasnt the Scape amd Run Parasites mod added? That makes fatming animals much more difficult since they all just get infected... I tried removing the mod but it broke the entire pack. I like SRP, but it doesnt fit RLCraft imo
Imo, scape and run feels like the end-game mod I've always wanted! I think it fits perfectly with the RLCraft difficulty curve, because honestly, if you've ever hit end-game in the mod, nothing can kill you anywhere but the Lost Cities. And the infection doesn't spread between dimensions like it did in the original mod, so no worries on ur piggies.
I use spear hook launcher for raid battle towers because it is too op
Shivaxi just need to update the pack to a new minecraft version. It shouldnt be unstable anymore on 1.18
Step 1:don't die Step 2: ignore previous step
Step 3: ignore step 2
I started playing yesterday on my pc, 20 to 40 fps but it's enjoyable I died alot of times 😂 it's a cool modpack
That's how I started as well! I have an actual build now, and turns out some of the fps drops are unavoidable anyways XD
i didnt know that the update actually add mob detection system. thats why the dragon keep finding me even if i far away from it
Its investigative, so if they detect you in some given location, they'll go check out the last place they saw you.
my problem is that there is no tower with good loot so that i can make any thing good
I am looking for someone to play with. Do you know any discord servers or where to find people I could play with?
I've found servers by browsing reddit, but besides that Shivaxi's discord server would probably be your best bet.
I would like to progress without doing death cheese to get village loot. But if that proves to be too painful, I guess that's what I'll do. I did die to find a beginning village. It just has a black dragon neighbor that I saw reduce an entire tower to ash. Need to find some place to live such that I can be safe. A bunker to protect me from the events and everything but banshees. It's gonna be a painful process I think. Comments seem to think this guide is legit, and I've been looking for something that isn't stupid as fuck. I added corail tombstone bc I live my loot being in a grave and not on a timer that only runs when i'm near by. It's just a pet peeve I've modded out since the beginning of minecraft.
THERE WAS A SECOND SECRET ROOM IN THE WINE FARM AREA WTF I HAD MY HOLE BASE THERE AND NEVER KNEW
me watching rlcraft guides as my main issue is 15fps and having chunks show up in front of me (im on 2 render distance)
if you add optifine and mess with the settings it can help a lot
My biggest challenge in rlcraft is to not to open for lan and put cheats on
Hardcore isn't for everyone that's for sure XD. My advice though if you feel like you have to do that: Make a set of your own rules you have to follow before you create the world, that way it doesn't just devolve into clearing dungeons and looting everything in creative. Speaking from experience 🫠
@@Calebrune3 that makes super sense thank you 🙏
Bro speaks normally at 2x speed 💀💀
😂
About the choke infernal I think you have said in the wrong way, you need to attack the choke infernal to not get drowning damage
And also lockpicking the locked chests does not aggro the golem
Oh! I didn't actually know that about lockpicking not aggroing the golem. I suppose then as long as it isn't an enchanted lock it should be totally fine to just pick the lock and then hopper the chest! And as for the choke mobs, that's definitely nice bit of info to know :3
@@Calebrune3 You can also use the carry mod to pick up the chest if you block the golem's vision. I'm not sure about 2.9.2 but there are some videos about it. So using these tips you can lock pick the chest and then pick it up and using water, you can hop down and then open the goods without getting shot by the golem once. It is risky though because you might accidentally open the chest or agro the golem while trying to block his vision
@@HappyCuteKitten it still works 2.9.2 I've tested it out.
@@puffif5322 I've done it recently and it does indeed work. I messed up both times though and apparently you can survive a battle tower fireball without any armor nor baubles. The only problem with it is that the golem fell off so there is just a random tower golem on the floor but it made it extremely easy to loot the second and third floor chests because I just had to open them instead of having to move them down or hopper them
ty
I sleeped after the mob event
did you play ark survival evolved like 5 yrs ago i have someone on my friends list with the same pfp as you who hasnt been on in 5 years
Seriously?? No I haven't but what a coincidence!
@@Calebrune3 damn thanks for replying at least
i feel like im way to unlucky to play rl craft, anything mad that can happen will happen to me, even with all these tips the game will find a way to kill me and get rid of all my stuff, most of the time the second i die to anything in the game hundreds of things will spawn or happen to me that will prevent me from getting all my stuff back, the game will literally break and bug out as long as it can get rid of loot
We've all been there, trust me... 😅 The best thing I can reccomend is to take each death and learn from them. If you die from a battle tower, maybe wait until your gear is better to tackle it again! And if a blight cave spider runs you over, just keep in mind they can't fly or swim fast, so take just in case actions the next time you see a cave spider spawner.
I started playing yesterday, no shame in cheating a little bit or using creative to get used to the different items and the hellish mobs. Other people hate cheating but as long as yours having fun there's no shame :)
you can make planks with an axe??... I have been looking for crafting tables to create a saw with the ores that I got from the bad flint pickaxe all the times I retried.... wow and now I got further in the video and saw the candle on the wall god for frick sake ahhhhh
I feel that, it seems like there's always something new to learn about this modpack that should have been explained when I started XD
Always have your horse until lumpy kills it 😅
It was a slow horse anyways XD
"Find a village with no dragons nearby" Good luck with the first step already, there's always a dragon within render distance of a village for me for some reason
SAME
You can run but you can't hide 😅
Bro just wooshing through the stages. Meanwhile I am 1 Week in and lost all my progress by random dragon fire like 20x times. I am happy if I even get some iron gear yet stone tools XD
We've all been there... its a rough ride XD, but very satisfying when you get past it!
step 1 is actually to find another modpack to play
☠️
FEET!
instead of destroying grass and shit you can just kill one sheep and you'll get 4 string from 1 wool tho
10/10 would reccomend doing this throughout your whole run. Early game though if your doing the normal flint axe progression, 1 flint gives 2 shards, so you can just use the extra one on a knife without going out of your way at all.
why does your atlas have color?
Not entirely sure honestly! I think it just comes with 2.9.2, but also I thought I remembered there being a way to change your atlas style within the game. Don't quote me on that one tho :P
ohh, okay thanks!
0:03 Compared to modpacks like GTNH RLCraft is a walk in the park ngl.
Oh really? I'll have to check it out sometime! Though I'm already doubting this seeing as how it has tinkerers construct 😅
@@Calebrune3 why you hating on tinkers? Its 100x better than normal pickaxes IMO.
@@neptern990 Oh I'm not hating! I actually love that mod lol, but in terms of difficulty it makes any modpack super easy. Also I looked into GTNH some more and all I have to say is Length ≠ Difficulty imo. But it definitely looks fun!
@@Calebrune3 I mean for me difficulty is based on if I will be able to 100% percent it or not. Also most of the time if a modpack doesn't have tinkers I'm not sure I will even play it, unless it has a custom tool/weapon progression like RLcraft or rogue dungeons.

bro rlcraft isnt hard like just dont do dumb shit and ur fine
this is just disingenuous and practically humble bragging lmao *looks at game i have 1800 hours in* yeah its super simple and easy, just know everything already "dont do dumb shit" applies to a lot of the things you do in 'normal' minecraft modpacks, because rlcraft makes massive changes to minecraft gameplay it is "hard" in that if you go in as a new player expecting a regular minecraft playthrough, and play without avoiding everything, you will get your teeth kicked in
