Minecraft Dungeons:Creeper Woods

Creeper Woods

This is a mission in Minecraft Dungeons. In Arcade it harbors the enderman boss.

“	Hello, mobs. Anyway, we're now in the Creeper Woods, where the player begins their adventures.	„
	— Måns Olson on the Creeper Woods

The creeper woods is the second location in Minecraft Dungeons. It will always generate a secret upon loading, that if found, grants access to the creepy crypt.

Appearance[]

The creeper woods is a wooded area that appears to be similar to a Forest biome. It contains multiple monoliths, hills, narrow bridges, rope-bridge walkways leading to other monoliths and rivers down below. The area is also shown to be foggy and dim. There are also mushrooms, fungi, and pop flowers that light the woods with an odd glow. There are two supply chests, one in the Safe house before the spider cave, and one at the caravan. There are wooden chests that are full of emeralds which are often found at the very edges of the woods. There are also emerald pots that appear in the darkest corners of the woods. There are also plenty of emerald pots in the creeper statue in adventure or apocalypse. The village merchant is captured there in default mode. A fancy chest can be found inside the statue after the hero survives the ambush with waves of creepers. The area also has a spooky feel as there are giant creeper heads and totems as well as a graveyard and various crypts. Near the beginning of the mission, a large stone Creeper head can be seen. If the hero owns the Echoing Void DLC, it is replaced by a large Enderman head.

Story[]

“	A JOURNEY BEGINS... – The Arch-Illager has come to power using the Orb of Dominance, turning the Overworld upside down. Power is collecting in strange places, the undead are stronger and refuse to burn in the sunlight, and Illagers are raiding the countryside! The Illagers capture the defenseless Villagers and move them east, towards their mysterious base in the Redstone Mines. The first step in their ruthless journey starts by going through Creeper Woods, a mob infested maze of tangled roots and branches. Move quickly if you wish to save the Villagers from a terrible fate!	„
	— In-game story

Voiceovers[]

“	By the Arch-Illager's decree, all free folk are now enemies of the Illager Empire. Somewhere in these woods, a caravan is transporting Villager prisoners to labour in far off lands. Find the caravan and stop the Illagers, for there's no telling what dreadful doom will befall our Villager friends.	„
	— Opening Cinematic

“	These villagers are free from the clasp of the Illagers, all thanks to you.	„
	— Outro

Description[]

Near the end of the mission, an illager camp is found which has five trapped villagers. The area is full of vindicators, armored vindicators, and enchanters that attack the hero on sight. Once a villager is freed, it bows in thanks and vanishes. After all five are freed, the hero can begin to travel towards the exit.
