The Stronghold is the first mission of the Minecraft Dungeons Echoing Void DLC. Unlike all other DLC missions before it, the mission can be found on the Mainland tab, on a very small island near the small continent. The mission was first announced in the same video that revealed the official name of the Endersent.

| — Story |
The story is that the hero would need to get six Eyes of Ender from six Endersent that went to six various locations on the Mainland. These Locations are Creeper Woods, Soggy Swamp, Pumpkin Pastures, Cacti Canyon, Desert Temple, and Highblock Halls. To open the End Portal that resides in the Stronghold the hero must retrieve these eyes and bring them back. Once opened, the otherworldly map will be unlocked to interact in the “Other Dimensions” Tab. The first location on that map is the End Wilds[1].

Objectives
- The Stronghold
- Find The End Portal.
- Travel To The End
- Place The Eyes of The Ender.
Appearance
The Stronghold is made up of stone bricks and wood. There are several pathways and brides over bottomless pits. The stone is covered with ripped blue carpets and Silverfish can be seen falling from the roof. In the middle of it all, the End Portal sits levitated over a pit of lava. Unlike the original game, though, it has two sets of stairways leading up to it. When the hero clicks on the portal it will make a banging sound, and if it is not activated, a menu will appear saying you need to collect the eyes of ender.
There are also paths leading away from the portal that are blocked off and say the same thing if the hero click on them.
