Minecraft Dungeons:Hidden Depths

"A map carelessly left behind by the Arch-Illager shows a suspicious marking in the middle of the ocean. What's hidden behind that horizon?"

"TURN THE TIDE — Dive into your next adventure with the new Minecraft Dungeons: Hidden Depths DLC! A shard from the Orb of Dominance carried on a dark current now awakens creatures that have long slumbered beneath the waves. It’s up to you to free the tides from the undertow of corruption. Legions of sunken and drowned enemies lurk among the lost treasure, so you must remain vigilant under pressure. The ocean’s natural beauty can distract from the dangers of the deep, but new weapons, gear, and artifacts will make everything go swimmingly."

- In-game pre-purchase description

The Hidden Depths is a paid DLC for Minecraft Dungeons released on May 26, 2021, the first year anniversary of Minecraft Dungeons. It is the fifth DLC $$, and takes place in an ocean biome. Showcased at Minecraft Live 2020, it is the third DLC after  and.

Appearance
The Hidden Depths take place underwater, around a small group of islands. Underneath the largest island is a ridge filled with a coral reefs and a shipwreck, on the west and deeper below is an ocean monument that harbors an ancient guardian, and on the east is an underwater volcano surrounded by lava, glowing lanterns, and a large fossil. The missions in the Hidden Depths are huge when compared to other missions, with about fifteen secrets in the Coral Rise alone. There is a cutscene in the abyssal monument in which the ancient guardian breaks through its own lair, and starts the boss fight. It is one of the only boss fights with a cutscene, apart from the Vengeful Heart of Ender, however this cutscene is not a separate movie (like this two), rather than is directly within the mission.
