As is the case with most games, there is a lot more to Minecraft Dungeon than meets the eye. There is a lot to learn about plenty of systems that hide more depth than one would think. Even though the game is pretty easy to understand, there are plenty of features that players are unaware of. Here are all the major things that players rarely know they could do in Minecraft Dungeons.
10 Weapons And Armours Can Be Customized
Every weapon and piece of armor you get in the game can be customized with enchantments. These add extra bonuses or abilities that make the item or gear even more powerful. As you gain levels and experience points, you’ll get more enchantment points that can be further used to unlock new bonuses or abilities of any weapon or armor. Every weapon and armor comes with three slots and can be upgraded three times.
9 Salvage Unused Items
Players progressing in Minecraft Dungeons will eventually grow a large collection of weapons and armors. Although every item in the game has some use, it’s not smart to hoard them. It’s better to salvage them instead of saving everything in your inventory. Salvaging not only yields Emeralds, which is the primary currency in the game, it also refunds any enchantment points that you might have invested in it. It’s recommended to have 3-4 weapons with different enchantments in your arsenal and discarding the rest. However, players should always try out and test the weapon or gear before salvaging it.
8 Stack Enchantments
If there is an enchantment in the game the suits your playstyle, you can essentially double its effect by stacking it. It’s not necessary to use different enchantments, and players can stack as many times as it’s possible.
For instance, players can stack two Rapid Fire, which will essentially double the attack speed. In addition to that, both the enchantments can be upgraded, which increases the attack speed even further.
7 Attaining High-Level Gear
Players that are looking for high-level gears can always try a level or a dungeon at higher difficulty tier. This is the most effective way of acquiring high-level gears. However, it’s not that easy since the difficulty spike between each tier tends to be harsh, so it’s best not to go rushing into levels with extremely high requirements. Players can usually take on levels a tier above their actual power level, but beyond that, it becomes a daunting task.
6 Chests Make A Humming Sound
Finding chests at any level should be a top priority for any player playing Minecraft Dungeons. Chests usually contain top-tier loot that can significantly help players to progress in the game. Although there is no definite method of locating chests, there is a small audio cue that players can follow. Anytime you are near a chest, the game will tell you with a faint humming sound that gets louder as you get closer to the chest. Follow the sound for some easy top-tier rewards.
5 Replay Levels For Emeralds
Emerald is an important asset in the game as it helps in buying items. This goes without saying that you can never have too many Emeralds. One easy and effective way of harvesting Emeralds is by replaying the earlier levels of the game again and again.
Enemies in the earlier levels are very easy to defeat, which makes gaining Emeralds a simple task. While this won’t result in a dramatic surge of Emeralds, it will bring a solid flow of currency.
4 Animals Are A Good Source Of Healing
There are plenty of ways to heal yourself in Minecraft Dungeons, but if you are ever low on resources, you can always turn to your surroundings. Animals, which often can be found around you in the game, drop healing items when killed. This is an easy method of farming healing items and doesn’t cost anything except for time. The drop is not guaranteed by any means, but it is worth a shot, especially in clutch situations.
3 Local CO-OP
Minecraft Dungeons supports local co-op, which means that two players can play the same copy of the game at the same time. This is a very old school feature that hardly any game supports nowadays. Players can play together and tackle all the hurdles of the game, which not only makes the progression much easier, but it also makes it more enjoyable. In addition to the local co-op, there is an option for online multiplayer as well as a solo mode.
2 No One Fixed Way To Play The Game
At first glance, players might get a false impression that Minecraft Dungeons is simply is a case of working your way up from point A to point B on each level. However, that is not true as there are multiple ways of approaching any level, and the levels themselves are different every time you play. Much like traditional Minecraft, Minecraft Dungeons is procedurally generated, and different playstyles and choices generate different results.
1 Hidden Stages
Apart from all the normal game levels, Minecraft Dungeons also presents a few secret levels that players can discover with some extra expedition. There are 5 secret levels in total and these are Creepy Crypt, Arch Haven, Moo, Soggy Swamp, and Underhalls. In general, players unlock these levels by finding a secret scroll hidden in another level except for the Moo stage, which requires hidden runes. These are not a part of the main arc, but all of them add a little extra flavor to the game, which makes the overall experience more enjoyable.
