1
Beating Minecraft is pretty simple.
2
You gather wood, build a portal, get some blaze rods, and kill the ender dragon.
3
But what if we instead did all of that backwards, with the final goal being to gather wood?
4
Would it truly be that much harder, starting off where most people would end?
5
The end.
6
Oh, and then I forget to mention that I'm doing all of this in hardcore.
7
Meaning that if I die even once, I'm dead for good.
8
Yeah, of course, I'm just gonna make everything harder for myself.
9
And okay, we're in for the second time.
10
That death you just watched was actually very real and happened like five minutes ago.
11
And I just looked at another one.
12
I'm just dead, aren't I?
13
No!
14
Ah, s*.
15
Here we go again.
16
Okay, we got really close in the last attempt.
17
But this, this is the one, I swear.
18
Now let's very carefully break this chorus food since we somehow managed to keep dying here.
19
And if I'm being completely honest, I have absolutely no idea on how to beat this challenge.
20
All I know is that we somehow have to beat the Ender Dragon in order to progress to the nether.
21
So our first step should be to find an end city in order to get some gear.
22
And after wandering around the entire island, twice, man, there's nothing on this island.
23
I realized that I was stuck with no end city in sight.
24
Meaning that we are gonna have to get some ender pearls in order to get off this island.
25
Okay, mountain.
26
I need to find a mountain.
27
Now according to my calculations if I dig a little mole hole here I should be able to farm endermens without dying.
28
Yeah, I kind of expected it to be a little bit faster.
29
Now we're gonna do something that I normally like to avoid doing.
30
Look tall big men straight in the face.
31
And now we just start killing.
32
We're gonna need a lot of enderpearls.
33
That took so long, and we don't even get an enderpearl?
34
Oh my god.
35
Oh my god, we actually got one.
36
Yes!
37
Wait, is that two?
38
Or is that one?
39
We got two!
40
Three!
41
Oh my god.
42
Okay, and that one gave nothing.
43
Now just to be on the safe side, let's kill a couple more.
44
Let's go!
45
So, with these now seven enderpearls, all we're gonna find is an end city.
46
Now, I have no idea how long that is actually gonna take.
47
And I accidentally...
48
Please don't.
49
Please don't kill me.
50
Please don't kill me.
51
Please don't kill me.
52
Well, this isn't very good.
53
I actually cannot beat that ass.
54
Instead of running back to the enderman farm like an intelligent person, I decided to pull out the most catastrophic, possibly worst move achievable.
55
Please don't, please don't kill me, please don't kill- Yeah, that one might be on me.
56
Now on the bright side, this did fix the enderman problem.
57
Now maybe I can course food out of here?
58
Yeah, yeah, no, don't think that's happening.
59
I had completely trapped myself, which left me with no other choice but to pearl up to the highest point and start digging.
60
There is no way I have to do this again!
61
Oh!
62
Oh my god!
63
That took so long!
64
Oh my god, they thought they could stop me, but I'm just getting started.
65
I'm 100% staying away from Enderman from now on.
66
But now back to actually looking for an end city.
67
Well, seems to be no end cities on this island.
68
So let's pearl over here and maybe find something.
69
Yeah, no, this is also a dead end.
70
Literally, what is this spawn?
71
Aren't we literally back to where we started?
72
Wait, have I been running in circles or something?
73
We have one last enderpearl.
74
We just gotta hope this is the island.
75
We just gotta hope.
76
Oh my god.
77
End city.
78
That was about time.
79
Although we did just run out of enderpearls.
80
We're just gonna have to quickly get a couple of guys and then fully slaughter their entire family tree.
81
Okay, that should be good.
82
Now, how exactly do we get over there?
83
The fastest way over seems to be by purling over island by island until we get to the big island.
84
But that looks insanely risky.
85
Even falling once would fully restart the challenge.
86
There's no way I'm doing that.
87
Okay, now we're invested.
88
We gotta keep going.
89
Oh my god.
90
Okay, wait.
91
Now how do we do this last one?
92
We have to just send it.
93
Send it!
94
Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, let's go!
95
We're so close to the end city now.
96
Now, is there a straight way there?
97
It might be some sort of way over if we take a long route, maybe.
98
No, it looks like this is as close as we get.
99
So, more ender pearls it is.
100
I love this tedious process.
101
Hopefully, it is the last time we gotta do this.
102
Now, I've been thinking about when we actually do get to the end city.
103
There is so many things we're gonna survive for example the shulkers now
104
that I know how much damage the enderman does The damage of the shulkers does sound a lot scarier.
105
Are you gonna?
106
Guess you could really say I put the end in Enderman Okay, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, okay,
107
so how exactly do we do this?
108
Let's look down.
109
I don't want to look at Enderman accidentally.
110
Yeah, I think we want to get up to that top chest bit somehow.
111
I've got no clue how though.
112
We can grab some end rods maybe.
113
That's our first building block.
114
You know what, we might just as well skid some ladders.
115
Now I think the literal only way to do this is through pearl clutch up there.
116
We literally got like the worst end city possible.
117
Go, okay, look down.
118
Oh my god, okay.
119
Now, main objective here, get to the chest above me
120
and hopefully find a pickaxe nice gotta get this guy gone
121
get away from me get away man okay now he's gone
122
okay now let's try to get to the chest here block
123
this off i think we can maybe get our first chest
124
now please have a pickaxe oh hell nah oh my god
125
please give us something useful in this chest okay wait that's
126
so useful oh my god that's so useful we got so So much stuff!
127
Okay, we have a pickaxe.
128
Uh, let's quickly pull down.
129
Oh my god, that might just have been the best chest of all time.
130
We actually managed to pull out two pickaxes.
131
One having efficiency four?
132
Oh my god.
133
I can finally mine endstone.
134
The fact that not even an hour ago I was forming these with my bare knuckles is crazy.
135
Now, let's get like a stack, then make our way up to the ship and grab the elytra.
136
And then from there, it shouldn't be too long until we can fight the ender dragon.
137
Okay, let's grab these health pots.
138
Probably gonna come in very handy now that we've only got Coors Fruits.
139
And now at last, Elytra acquired.
140
Oh, and a chest plate.
141
And another helmet.
142
Oh my god, we're getting stacked stacked.
143
Now all we need is some boots.
144
Maybe I'll sort the finish of our set and we should be set to fight the Ender Dragon.
145
So let's start going this way till we find a new End City.
146
Oh ma, just look at how much faster this is.
147
I don't even need the Ender Pearls anymore. Are you kidding me?
148
Where was this End City before?
149
I literally had to search for like an hour to find one earlier.
150
Now, before we get up there, let's quickly get some more blocks.
151
Probably got a couple too many.
152
Now, let's see.
153
Can we get anything useful in probably the smallest end city I've ever seen?
154
Whoa.
155
Whoa.
156
Protection 3 helmet.
157
Don't mind if I do.
158
And then I'll obviously grab the sword.
159
Don't need any of these.
160
Okay.
161
On to the next one we go.
162
Oh my god.
163
This is actually so much faster.
164
Ship!
165
There's an end city.
166
Oh my god!
167
God, what is that end city?
168
What?
169
Wait, why is it so big, bro?
170
Okay, so literally all we want to find is some boots and maybe a chest plate if we're feeling greedy.
171
Give me that.
172
Drop that.
173
Now I'll kill you. And iron boots.
174
I mean, that is boots.
175
Sure.
176
Then nothing.
177
And we've already got all of these.
178
Nice.
179
Another elytra.
180
We'll take that as a spare.
181
Now the question is, do we stay greedy and try to find better boots on our chest plate? Or...
182
Nah, this is good.
183
Okay, yes, I'm checking the chest.
184
Just in case.
185
Nothing we need.
186
And would you look at that?
187
There's another chest.
188
Diamond boots.
189
Let's go.
190
Appreciate you.
191
Thank you.
192
Now let's just check this last chest.
193
Bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad.
194
Diamond spear.
195
This is the craziest diamond spear I've ever seen.
196
Not that I've actually used one before.
197
Well, I'm happy with this.
198
It's finally time to fight the ender dragon.
199
Just gotta find a gateway first.
200
I don't exactly know how rare they are, so hopefully it's not gonna take too long.
201
You know what?
202
I wanna quickly try out the spear for the first time.
203
What the?
204
Aren't you supposed to do something?
205
Oh!
206
Oh my god!
207
Wait.
208
Oh my god, I thought I was gonna die for a second.
209
That would've been a way to go out.
210
Okay, now back looking for an end gateway before I die.
211
Oh, found an end city before.
212
There is no way.
213
Let's head over there.
214
Wait, do we make this?
215
We should probably throw a pearl.
216
Okay.
217
No way there's two.
218
Come on, bro.
219
Okay, I might as well go and grab the pots from the ship, I guess.
220
Oh, never mind.
221
There's the gateway.
222
Okay.
223
Well, I guess before we head in there, let's stack up on some ender pearls.
224
So, gotta kill a couple more endermen.
225
Gosh, this is so much faster.
226
I have no idea how many ender pearls we need.
227
That's two, three, 5, 7 Oh, that's 8 I think 8 is gonna do Now, let's also really quickly head up into the end ship Can you get in here?
228
There's glass, no?
229
Oh, nevermind, you can That's sick Let's kill you Maybe get a shulker here
230
Or not Okay Let's switch out these two With this one in it What's that?
231
Oh!
232
Wait!
233
That's all we needed as well Wait, what?
234
That's actually so good Wait, nice Okay, and I think we're ready Let's grab these extra pots And make our way down to the gateway
235
There is the gateway.
236
It's time for the dragon battle.
237
The end battle.
238
We're killing the end of dragon.
239
Let's just get in.
240
Okay, pretty nice spawn actually.
241
And the dragon is up there.
242
Now, as usual, the end crystals has to go first.
243
Now, I don't exactly know how we're gonna break them.
244
I think we're just gonna have to build up to them normally and punch them with our fist.
245
Nice, it's one down.
246
Lock launch.
247
Oh, nice.
248
Run!
249
Whoa!
250
Oh my god.
251
That's another one.
252
Now how do we...
253
Oh my god.
254
Let's pop a potion.
255
Oh my god, that scared me.
256
Nice.
257
He's perching.
258
Yo!
259
Why is he right here?
260
Okay, okay, okay.
261
Nice.
262
One more.
263
Last crystal.
264
Okay, nice.
265
That's all the end crystals down.
266
Now we just have to wait for him to perch.
267
Oh, I think he's perching.
268
Here we go.
269
Why is he so loud?
270
He is so, so loud.
271
Okay.
272
Decent damage.
273
Decent damage.
274
It's so annoying.
275
We don't have a bow, so we just gotta stand here waiting for him.
276
No!
277
Come back, please!
278
Watch this.
279
Oh no!
280
I'm speed bridging!
281
Is it time to end this?
282
End this suffering?
283
We're so close!
284
Are you serious?
285
Are you serious?
286
Okay.
287
Oh, no. I have an Enderman after me.
288
Wanna fight an Ender Dragon?
289
Okay.
290
Okay.
291
That's threat down.
292
Wait.
293
Okay, gotta kill this guy as well.
294
Okay.
295
We did it.
296
Finally.
297
I guess you could say I really put the end in Ender Dragon.
298
Okay.
299
Well, that's step number one completed, if you can even call it that.
300
I don't even know what step we're on at this point.
301
Now, let's just grab the egg.
302
And the other step should be super easy.
303
Uh, we're in the nether.
304
This feels very weird.
305
But okay, we need to build a nether portal in order to get out of here.
306
Problem, a nether portal requires obsidian.
307
Which I haven't exactly got.
308
Now, I think the best way to find obsidian is through the bastions. So, bastion.
309
Where can I find a bastion?
310
You wanna go at it?
311
Come on, then.
312
I guess you could say I really put the end in ga- Oh!
313
Bastion!
314
Okay, okay, okay.
315
Now, let's be very careful here, because I really don't know how to loot these.
316
I think we should be able to get obsidian out of the chests up there.
317
Hello, guys!
318
Woo!
319
Oh!
320
Obsidian!
321
How much is that?
322
Five?
323
Wait, that's so good.
324
Okay, no obsidian in here.
325
However, a crossbow, I'll take that.
326
Any obsidian?
327
Oh my god, we have enough.
328
No way!
329
We can finally make a portal!
330
Wait, actually, do we have anything to light the portal with?
331
Nope, no we don't, because I accidentally dropped all of my iron earlier.
332
Yeah, yeah, that was definitely on purpose.
333
Well, I guess we're gonna have to check more chests!
334
Oh my god!
335
Uh, um...
336
Oh my god.
337
Oh my god, that could have been so bad.
338
There we go, that's the iron we need.
339
Now, actually crafting a flint and steel should actually be super easy.
340
All we're gonna find is some gravel.
341
Nice.
342
And by forming these, we should now any second...
343
Get a flint.
344
Yes!
345
Yes!
346
Yes!
347
We have everything we need.
348
Let's build this guy.
349
It's finally time to move on to the third and final step.
350
Please give me a good spawn. Are you serious?
351
All we need is one oak tree and we spawn on the bottom of the map.
352
You know what?
353
It's all good.
354
We've got the gear, so we'll just man ourselves out.
355
Finally we are up!
356
Now just for the sake of the challenge, I will find an oak tree, cause otherwise it wouldn't really feel right.
357
Oak!
358
It's so beautiful!
359
It's time, after everything we've done, with this oak log, we have now beaten the game, but backwards.
360
Let's go, I'm finally free to do whatever I want!
361
That took so much time.
362
Yo, anyone down to do anything?
363
you

シャドーイングとは?英語上達に効果的な理由

シャドーイング(Shadowing)は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的:ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影(shadow)」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
