Tutorials/Exploring an ancient city

Deep Dark Cities are among the most challenging structures to defeat in the game. They are dark and are home to the warden, which can easily smother players, even in full netherite armour.

Why?
There will be several benefits to defeating a Deep Dark City:
 * A way to obtain Sculk Blocks without a Sculk Catalyst
 * Using the city as a base
 * Obtaining Soul-related items without going to the Nether
 * Chests with "unquic loot" inside

What you might need

 * A Diamond Sword or Better with Fire Aspect II or better
 * Atleast 25 Golden Apples if you get hurt
 * 5-10 Milk Buckets for curing the Darkness effect
 * Elytra for quick escapes
 * 1-3 stacks of Rockets to use with your Elytra
 * 3-4 stacks of Snowballs to distract the Warden
 * A Bed so you can set your spawn point if you die
 * A couple of Pickaxes
 * A lot Food for rehealing

Starting Out
To prepare yourself for an expedition to a Deep Dark City, there are a few things you will need to do.

Finding a City
You will first need to go to the deepslate layer, nearly to the bedrock level. If you mine into it from a higher level, there is a higher chance that you will mine into the city and likely die from fall damage. Once you get somewhere around Y -44, begin strip or branch mining. This will give you the highest chance of finding a city.

What not to do

 * Try not to build or destroy anything. This will alert any Sculk Sensors, which then will alert any Sculk Shriekers.
 * Try not to take any damage.
 * Try your hardest to avoid alerting Sculk Shriekers or Sculk Sensors and do not step on them.
 * If you summon a Warden, try to be as far as possible, because it may sense your presence and be able to track you down.
