This page describes content that is a part of the Howling Peaks DLC. 

The Gale Sanctum is a mission in the Howling Peaks DLC. It is unlocked after the hero completes Windswept Peaks.

Story

A TEMPLE ATOP THE PEAKS – A temple rises from the towering peaks where the winds are woven into the ancient sanctum's very structure. Harness the wind's power and claim undiscovered treasures, but mind the ancient protector within: the Tempest Golem.

In-game story

Voiceover

A wind-swept temple rises from the towering peaks, and those who dare to brave these gusty halls must harness the power of the wind itself. Deep within the sanctum, past the whipping winds and dangerous deadly drops, a mighty Tempest Golem has been corrupted by the shard's influence, and must be destroyed.

In-game Intro

As the Tempest Golem and the shard are destroyed, a soothing breeze breathes new life into the land.

In-game Outro

Appearance

The Gale Sanctum is a large, highly decorative temple built upon a mountain peak found in the middle of the island where Howling Peaks takes place. It is a fancy and elaborate temple filled with lots of gold and jade adornments, windmills, and many wind-powered mechanisms, most of which are found usually inside. The interior of the temple consists of highly decorated rooms filled with plants and even small pools, as well as many bottomless pits with the only walkways being wooden wind-activated pulleys and stone pipes used for directing wind. Its within these bottomless pits that various wind puzzles are found such as windmill activations and pushing blocks via wind to grab a Key Golem to open a door to another decorated room, where various Squall Golems can be seen along with many resonance crystals which activates them. At the end of the mission is another bottomless pit where the Tempest Golem can be seen inactive with 8 Squall Golems in front of it, in which all of it activates to battle the hero in its arena. Its arena consists of mostly of the Squall Golems and two wind runes which must be struck to disable the Tempest Golem. A Squall Golem factory can sometimes generate inside the sanctum. In the fountains where squall golems sometimes spawn, an End Portal Frame can be see as the top of the conduit.

A '''shield''' is a tool used for protecting the [[player]] against attacks.

|showdescription=1
|Damaged Shield
|Damaged Shield
|Output=Shield
|description= The durability of the two shields is added together, plus an extra 5% durability. The repaired shield has no pattern.
|type= Combat
}}

Shields may also be repaired on an [[anvil]] by using [[planks]] or another shield. Shields repaired on anvils retain their pattern.

=== Trading ===
Journeyman-level armorer [[villager]]s have {{frac|1|3}}{{only|Bedrock|short=1}}/{{frac|2|5}}{{only|Java|short=1}} chance of selling a shield for 5 [[emerald]]s as their sixth trade.

== Usage ==
Despite using iron in its crafting recipe, it cannot be smelted into [[iron nugget]]s.<ref>{{bug|MC-111738}}</ref>

=== Defense ===
Shields are used for [[blocking]] incoming attacks. {{control|Using}}{{Only|Java|short=1}} or {{Control|sneaking}}{{Only|Bedrock|short=1}} causes a player to slow to a [[sneaking]] pace, and after {{convert|5|ticks|seconds}}<ref>{{bug|MC-100949||Shield blocking is delayed}}</ref>, attacks coming from in front of the player are blocked, dealing no damage. When the shield blocks an attack of {{hp|3}} or stronger, it takes durability damage equal to the strength of the attack rounded up.  

Most blocked projectiles that carry status effects (such as [[Shulker#Shulker bullet|shulker bullets]]{{only|java|short=1}}, flaming [[arrow]]s, or tipped arrows) do not affect the blocker. [[Trident]]s & arrows can be deflected into other targets. Knockback from melee attacks and projectiles is prevented, while knockback from [[explosion]]s, [[hoglin]], and [[ravager]] attacks are significantly reduced.

The shield directionally blocks all attacks coming from within the FOV of the direction the wielder is facing, providing a full hemisphere of coverage to them. If the wielder faces straight up, they are likely to miss their blocks.<ref>{{bug|MC-109101||Shields do not block damage while the player faces straight up}}</ref><!--straight down fix: MC-92019-->

Mobs that deal continuous contact damage such as the slime, magma cube, and blaze rapidly drain the shield's durability for as long as the shielded player remains within the mob's hitbox.<ref>{{bug|MC-169167}}</ref><ref>{{bug|MCPE-119451}}</ref>

Blockable attacks include:
*Melee attacks, except by a warden, axe-wielding mobs or by a sprinting player wielding an axe, however even without sprinting an axe still greatly decreases the durability 
** Status effects do not carry through to the blocker{{only|java|short=1}}.
*Normal, tipped, and spectral [[arrow]]s
** Arrows other than [[Piercing]] are totally deflected and can hit other targets.
** Status effects do not carry through to the blocker{{only|java|short=1}}.
***This can be used to damage the attacker or another mob down there.
*[[Flame|Flaming arrows]]
** Burning does not carry through to the blocker{{only|java|short=1}}.
*[[Trident]]s
*[[Snowball]]s and [[egg]]s
*Spines from [[pufferfish]]
*Bullets from [[shulker]]s
** The levitation effect does not carry through to the blocker{{only|java|short=1}}.
*Spit from [[llama]]s
*[[Fireball]]s, such as from [[blaze]]s and [[fire charge]]s
** Burning does not carry through to the blocker.
*Direct hits from [[ghast]] [[fireball]]s
** These still cause environmental damage.
*All explosions{{only|JE|short=1}}
*Explosion damage from [[creeper]]s
*[[TNT]] that another player lit
*[[Ravager]] headbutts
** These still knock the blocker back by about 3 blocks.
** Blocking these strikes can stun the ravager for a moment, and it roars afterward.
*Ravager roars are blocked but still knock back the blocker.
*[[Bee]] stings are blocked, but bees continuously attack until the player stops blocking and the player is stung.
*Beam attacks from [[guardian]]s or [[elder guardian]]s (only reduces damage by 50%).
*Damage reflected from [[Thorns]] enchantment / [[Guardian|guardians]].

They cannot block:
*Arrows from a [[crossbow]] enchanted with [[Piercing]]
** This does not reduce the shield's durability.
*[[Status effect]]s from tipped arrows or shulker bullets {{only|bedrock|short=1}} <ref>{{bug|MCPE-52904}}</ref>
** Direct projectile damage is blocked, but the effect still carries through.
*Status effects from splash/lingering [[potion]]s, [[evoker]]s' fangs, or breath from the [[ender dragon]]
*Beam attacks from [[guardian]]s or [[elder guardian]]s, or the [[warden]]'s sonic boom attack
*TNT that the blocking player lit themselves{{only|BE|short=1}}
*TNT that a [[Redstone (disambiguation)|redstone mechanism]] lit{{only|BE|short=1}}
*[[Fall damage]], including that from [[ender pearl]]s
** This also includes when the player rides an [[entity]] that died due to fall damage.
*Strikes from a warden or any [[axe]]-wielding mob (e.g., [[vindicator]]s, [[piglin brute]]s, [[zombie]]s after disabling players shield they attack another time immediately)
** Such strikes disable being able to use shields for 5 seconds.

=== Applying patterns ===
[[File:Cyan Shield Screenshot.png|250px|thumb|A custom shield.]]
Shields can be decorated by applying a [[banner]].

{{Crafting
|showdescription=1
|Shield
|Matching Banner
|Output=Matching Shield; Ominous Shield
|B2link=Banner
|Olink=Shield
|type=Combat
|description=Applies the banner pattern to the shield. The banner is consumed.<br>The shield must have no preexisting patterns.<br>Does not change existing durability or enchantments on the shield.
}}

Unlike with [[banner]]s, shields cannot be repainted or washed in a [[cauldron]]. Shields have only half the resolution of banners, making patterns look slightly different. In the game files, the pattern textures can be found in a separate directory called entity/shield.

{{IN|java}}, shields with patterns can also be obtained using the same commands as banners, except <code>banner</code> has to be replaced with <code>shield</code>.

=== Enchantments ===
A shield can receive the following [[enchantments]], but only through an [[anvil]]:

{| class="wikitable col-2-center"
|+

![[Enchanting|Method]]
|-
|[[Unbreaking]]

}} 

A '''bone''' is an [[item]] primarily obtained from [[skeleton]]s and similar mobs. It can be crafted into [[Bone Meal|bone meal]] or used to tame wild [[Wolf|wolves]].

== Obtaining ==

=== Chest loot ===

{{LootChestItem|bone}}

=== Mob loot ===

Skeletons, [[wither skeleton]]s, [[skeleton horse]]s, and [[stray]]s may drop 0–2 bones upon death. The maximum drop is increased by 1 per level of Looting, for a maximum of 0-5 bones with Looting III.

{{IN|bedrock}}, [[salmon]], [[cod]], [[pufferfish]], and [[tropical fish]] have 25% chance to drop 1-2 bones upon death. The maximum drop is increased by 1 to 2 per level of Looting, for a maximum of 2-8 bones with Looting III.
Salmon (small and medium size) have 25% chance to drop 1 bone upon death, The maximum drop is increased by 1 to 2 per level of [[Looting]], for a maximum of 2-7 bones with Looting III. The chance of dropping bones increases by 1% per looting level, so with Looting III there is up to a 28% chance of bones dropping.

=== Fishing ===

Bones can also be obtained by [[fishing]] as part of the junk category. The best chance of catching a bone is achieved without the [[Luck of the Sea]] enchantment, yielding a 1.1% chance.

== Usage ==

=== Helmet ===
[[File:Steve wearing Bone.png|thumb|right|75px]]

While a bone cannot be equipped in the head slot in Survival mode, equipping it using commands causes it to appear in the player's mouth.

=== Taming ===

Using a bone on a wild [[wolf]] has a {{frac|1|3}} chance of [[taming]] it. Bones cannot tame a hostile wolf or a wolf that has already been tamed. However, bones can be used to attract the attention of the tamed ones.

=== Crafting ingredient ===
A bone can be crafted into 3 bone meal.
