RAID CAPTAINS: Are They Worth It? EVERYTHING You Need To Know & Best Loot in Minecraft Dungeons

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 30 พ.ค. 2021
- Raid Captains were introduced on the 26th of may with the Hidden Depths DLC update. These guys add up to the end game of Minecraft Dungeons, adding up new layers of difficulty and new challenges. You can encounter Raid Captains during already completed mission playthroughs, allowing you to defeat them and pick up their banners. The Threat Banner and Mystery Banner can be collected up to six times to increase the difficulty and increase the reward after every mission completion. At the end, you will get a Raid Captain Bounty chest, which contains valuable loot. The Raid Captains can make the levels extremely difficult with multiple modifiers, so are they worth farming or should you focus on the Ancient Hunts instead? Today I talk about everything you need to know about them and answer your questions.

Raid Captains are a new FREE End Game feature in Minecraft Dungeons.
They can make it extremely difficult to complete a mission.
Are they worth the reward? Here's EVERYTHING you need to know!
k tysm, didn't understand this update
is it sad that I’ve gotten mob health is increased by 170%?!? Like bruh
Yea
@@WaitingForAcey No, it's INSANE.
I only ever get commons and rares from the raider chest even if I have tons of banners, this new system is scuffed
I’d like that the rewards after beating this levels will be with the custom enchant slots
Raid captain rewards have a really easy fix just make them give multiple chests depending on the number of banners you have or each banner type gets a different chest
Also where is my ancient elder grandpa guardian we need a hidden dephs ancient or 2or maybe 3 :3
i don't really care about getting top-tier items, i just like having a fun challenge, and getting rewarded for it
What I wanted the raids to be was:
You’s kill the “raid captains”, that spawn in levels and once You’ve got a certain amount of banners you get “bad omen”. I will also have to point out you can only get bad omen once you’ve completed the game on Apocalypse mode, making this solely endgame content.
Once you get bad omen you can either kill more enemies to get a higher level of bad omen (the bad omen level cap will depend on your power level as of getting it) or you can go down to the tutorial area and start a raid. At this point in the story, the village has been liberated from the Arch illager and is packed with new villagers! And as they’re leader you’ll be responsible for protecting them from the raid. The loot you get from the raid will depend on how many casualties will be saved from harm (keep in mind the village will be a LOT bigger: new houses, statues, buildings...etc)
How the raid will work is similar to the actual ones in the actual Minecraft game. You villager will be invaded by pillagers and illagers (in the masses, as in at least 50 per wave: and thats in level 1 bad omen - and the amount per wave will increase by 25 per bad omen level all the way to bad omen 5!) and you (plus your friends if your playing coop) will have to defend the village - you’ll also have iron golems ready to also defend with you, you’ll get more or less depending on how many people your playing with.
Finally once you’ve completely finished the raid, You’ll get a large amount of pillager banners (lets say 75) + the ones you’ve farmed trying to get bad omen as a collectable item (like emeralds). These will be important later! When you’ve saved the village ,with less than 50 casualties, you would get the “Hero of the village” effect (you’d also get a cutscene of the village celebrating the win with you) this effect will cut down the prices by 75% + you’ll get a 125% increase in unique chances -when trading or playing levels - ( if you get more than 50 casualties all the pros I said will have inverse effects) the effect will last until you complete 3 DIFFERENT levels.
As an added bonus you can take the banners I spoke of earlier to a new villager... The Enchantress! This villager will have 3 abilities:
- The ability to re-roll enchantment slots (costs 10 banners).
- Change unique enchantments: as in your able to change unique enchantments from one thing to another (like from “committed” to “critical hit”) (costs 20 banners).
- And finally “gild” items! Like you can put a random gilded enchantment on a normal or unique item. The enchantment will be random but you can change the level of the enchantment too. (Costs 30 banners), (levelling up gilded enchantments costs 1 gold per level up).
would be way too op. 60 banners and you can literally make a god tier item
@@Derrickpower2
Yeah but the raids will be *EXTREMELY* hard. As in you want to cry and have PTSD flashbacks hard. Why? Because you’ll have to keep a track of your villagers and keep them alive, also you’ll have to heal them up + repair and or create new golems during the 2 minute break between waves.
On top of that the enemies will *always* be more powerful than you.
Duuuuuuuuude that sounds so much better than what we got!
just make it that each banner collected increased the power level of the equipment gained by the raid captain chest. For example 10 then it would be worth it(note that if doing raid captains on ancient hunts you get no bonus chest :( )
Bro predicted the enchantsmith!
Honestly it's sad that you stop doing mc dungeon content. You were Honestly the best content creator for mc dungeons
It would be cool if there would be a banner merchant who sells things to personalize the camp.
Edit:
This merchant would buy banners and give daily objectives to unlock certain items for the camp. These items would be purely cosmetic, but you could interact with them.
I feel that the camp is just so plain. And killing raid captains should be rewarded because they are the main reason of you making your own village
Or items😊
I even got a modifier 200% extra health for mobs. This makes killing bosses almost impossible!
Your lucky you didnt get the 180% mob increase dmg, 200% mob hp increase health and -40% player health modifier like me lol 😆
Lol that would of probably have been close to impossible to try and survive. Also I think the modifiers were unbalanced.
@@pleasantginge4636 I pretty much returned to camp lol after that I maybe pick up 1-2 banners for the extra chest.
I have no clue how this would work so it probably isn't a great idea, but I think it would be cool if there was a better way to upgrade your camp further than just adding more merchants, where it sort of ends up like a village in the ending. That could make the raid captains much more interesting, maybe the banners could be collectable and stored in the inventory like emeralds, and used in the church at the camp to cause a raid with very rewarding loot as a pay off from the merchants in the village, and reduced prices.
Also, the music for the raid captains is hilarious, and I think that it's really funny that it's for a mini boss.
Thanks 04AM another great video.
The amount of rage I felt defeating these illigers is hilarious
I notice that the gear you get from golden chests and obsidian chests are increased in quality aswell. Might just be my luck of the sea though lmao
I agree, it’s not worth the play unless the intention to experience game griefing and relentless punishment. I received a Highland unique, with dud enchantments. The Devs missed the chance to offer new items for collecting all Raid Captain banners. I’d wish they’d design a method to exchange uniques for preferred enchantments. Exchange x amount of uniques and insert item to change out an enchantment. X amount of uniques to have a higher probability to generate the enchantments you want for a specific weapon to upgrade. I’m here watching most of my items collect dust, intermittently playing daily trails and events only. Feels similar to Fallout 76. Idk, maybe it’s time to hang up my cape.
In conclusion: No, they arent worth it.
Yeah they're kinda are YOU CAN AN OP WEAPON ITS SOOOOOO GOOD YEAH ITS WORTH
Thank you
Rule modifier suggestion after you complete a level you are only allowed to use whatever you get from the raid captain chest
I will start attacking the raid captains once I've gotten to max power level.
Look on the fandom wiki for dungeons and you will be able to see what modifiers you can get
Short answer, no. Especially since they can appear anywhere without you wanting it or having any chance to avoid them. There are ways you can get past them and avoid picking up banners but its harder than it sounds, especially since most will spawn in the path of your objective. If their rewards were a guaranteed unique I'd say it would ne close to worth it.
When i want to fight them, i beat the hole level then came back to were they were, kill them, and them complete the level.
That's what I do. But still not worth it and a lot of times even with all six flags you don't even get a unique
And after all that you realize- that time it took was not worth it at all
@@theseventhammer never said it was, i just do this when im bored
You may want to revisit this: I just did a daily trial on Creeper Woods at Apocalypse +25 and managed to complete it with 6 banners and 3 deaths. When I opened the Raid Captain chest, I got a Highland Axe, level 261. Yes, two hundred SIXTY-ONE. It deals 721226-1109578 damage.
I feel like the more banners you have the higher the chance to get uniques. That would make it more worth getting the raid captains but there should also be an emerald reward as well. That's how I think it should be changed but yeah it's currently not worth it. (It can get better with luck of the sea in pretty sure)
I only pick up Threat banners
Do the banners have a timer? Like what if I just kill absolutely everything then go back and get the banners when I can leave?
Are they worth it? No - because the risk vs reward is completely out of whack.
So 6 raid captains and all their banners and I got a unique drop - which took 45min to complete the mission on Apocalypse 25
Or I could have just bought a unique from village merchant for 400 emerald which I can farm in 5minutes.
NOT WORTH IT
Maybe each Banner more Illager chests? If they do it
@@Mr3K3Exp should really drop gilded loot for 6 raid captains at Apocalypse 25, as its more challenging than ancient hunts
@@theseventhammer I agree
I like the raid captains. They are really cool. Although I'm not sure what some of the modifiers do.
Most are quite self-explanatory. As for the threat increase you can think of it as extra difficulty level in general. Basically tougher mobs that hit harder.
@@jkliao6486 ok thanks
Fun Fact, you can find raid captains in ancient hunts, they dont give anything special at the end tough, just the negative modifiers during the mission
Umm excuse me sir but if you are ok with helping me with some questions. Thanks 🤓 ps your my favorite youtuber.
can you leave the banners on the ground complete the map then speed through and collect them and rush to the end map?
I can get the raid captains to spawn in daily trials??? I just started to play the daily trails because I have op gear and I can’t get any raid captains to spawn. Do I need to complete the daily trail on a certain map once then once they appear in the map again I can find them???
Help meeeee. I’m power 252
Yeah, these raid captains are a pretty terrible addition, especially with that utterly insane balance between risk and reward. I mean, they could have, at the very least make each banner collected equal to one additional item at the end of the mission, the heftier the modifier, the greater the chance of a unique dropping with threat banners maybe being equal to or a little worse than obsidian chests or something like that.
What I feel like this game actually needs though, is something more along the lines of the raids from the looter shooter genre. A really challenging level, that requires players to not just have formidable gear, but also strategize much more than just rushing at priority targets, dodging projectiles and hoping, that your big numbers are bigger than the enemy big numbers. At the end of that, put a challenging boss (maybe an advanced version of an existing boss idk) and reward the players with something, that is interesting and worth the effort, but doesn't outright trivialize the challenge it took to earn it on further attempts.
Seriously, I do not like how much Minecraft Dungeons relies on the dumb clash of big numbers to generate difficulty (to the point, that it is actively incapable of displaying the correct amount of damage dealt by the player in the end screen, since negative values are an indicator, that the value was bigger than the expected maximum and the algorithm thus loops back around to the minimum possible number, which apparently was somewhere in the negatives, same effect as Civilization's Ghandi going instantly from pacifist to nuking everything).
I like the added optional difficulty, but to stack 6 raid banners, play through the level which is now even harder than the old Apocalypse +20, barely make it to the end alive, just to get a single rare item as a reward? I hope the team rework the rewards significantly.
Otherwise, I'm loving the update so far; new enchantments are great and the new DLC is the best yet, in my opinion.
I wish they give you raid captain chest per raid captain banner you collect so if you kill 3 raid captains you get 3 chest then it would be waaaay better my first raid captain encounter i got a rare fishing rod 🥲
Can you do the top 3 best load outs in duengoens
Wait couldn’t you just kill all the captains then just have to come in every anime in the level get every banner and then come back to the end I know it uses a bit more time but would you rather do a normal level than you kill all the captain to make the level even more difficult just a question
What bow is this? What are the encantments?
I have been playing for weeks I'm level 95 power 90 never have found a raid captain. I have played the missions several times to the end....why is that? I'm playing in local coop...is this only for single player?
Minecraft dungeons should add a type of horse u can ride and customise
Proably would be an artifact or a weapon.
@@Blue-fg8vtmost likely an artifact
Short answer: no
Long answer: hell no
Not worth it cause it highly decrease your chances of clearing the run depending on the modifiers. It should give extra chest per banner with high chance of unique to make it more worthwhile.
True
Hey 04am I have recently got a gilded fighters bindings and they are amazing, its built in enchantments are swirling leaching and critical hit, and the enchantments I have put on it are echo, thundering and shockwave
Dude Echo Isn't gonna help at ALL
Yeah echo doesn’t do anything on fighters bindings
Should I just put pain cycle or sharpness instead of echo?
@@oskarharper2645 I would 100% go with sharpness
@@oskarharper2645 Do NOT use pain cycle; just do sharpness
04AM for some reason on switch you can't do seasonal trials
Just get our and in again or get in online and it might let you get it.
Out*
If you go to soggy swamp there’s like 6-7 raid captains it’s crazy and basically impossible if you take them all
I feel like they should Have gotten eitehr some unique(Not the rarity) weapons for the Raid captians. Like Exclusive Meele,Ranged,Armour,Etc. That would have been so cool
how do you pick up a banner? or what do you need to be able to pick them up?
You hold your attack button I think but it’s not worth it
The loot from the raid captain is bugt
If I can survive 6 banners worth of modifiers, I already have endgame gear and only gilded gear could possibly have any value. I don't understand what the thought process was here for the rewards.
How do you get that level?
They need to nerf the maximum severity of the modifiers to make the game actually possible to play
Bit confused why are seasonal trials locked on apocalypse after i've completed them once. Am I doing something wrong?
@@aarav6947 Ty, is it possible to do it again on a higher apocalypse?
i skip them all because they only buff the npcs crazy hard and the rewards gear sucks 🤦
They aren't that hard
@@aarav6947 yes, the modifiers are hard but not the raid captains themselves
@@TheFoolishWiseKing if you have apocalypse build lol
@@aarav6947 if you use the torment quiver glitch then you can one shot them and it will Take like 2 seconds to kill them if you have it dynamo glitch prepared
@@TheFoolishWiseKing but they usually spawn multiple of them in same place.
Worst situation I ever met is 4 or them with redstone golem. And I died 2 time beacuse this unfair situation and I found them "ALMOST EVERYTIME" I play in any level
I wish if you killed more than 1 pillager captain you could get more rewards so 2 killed pillagers is 2 pillage chest
I killed like 5 but it only gave me one chest
THEY ARE CRAZY I WENT INTO SOGGY SWAMP AND I WENT INTO THE CAVE AND I DEFEATED TWO RAID CAPTAINS AND ONE OF THEM FLAGS HAD 200% damage AND THE OTHER WAS 100%
Hi Everyone
Hi
Hi)
Hello
First to watch :) when premiered
Wow!! Let me show you how much people care:
their loot is trash, it would be much better if it existed for ancient hunts
Raid captains in ancient hunts do nothing at all, apart from reducing your chance of passing the level. You don't even get extra gold loot after the mission :/
I think either getting extra better loot from raid captains or make the modifiers less brutal!
There is a new misson in new minecraft dungeons called Gauntlet of Gales
Where
@@th3_ph4ntomreborn31 It is a free misson It's a leak
it din't release yet
@@dungeonstuber650 where you saw about that? Not that I don't belive because it's kinda possible but from where this information comes?
@@th3_ph4ntomreborn31 Its from xbox console companion
I'm from Poland 👍
o to siema
Noice
I wait and kill them at the end, after i kill all the mobs all around the map and get to the end i back track and kill them, just cause i just want to fight them and nothing else, its not hard to find them because the map shows there location.
If your high level its kind of worth it
So bassically, they are not worth it, but they can make your adventure a whole lot more fun
So do they appear at a mission on random?
from what I've experienced, they spawn 100% of the time on main levels ( not the secret ones, idk about the DLC's) In areas that aren't required to go trough to complete the level (except obsidian pillar where they spawn in the indoors section).
The area where they spawn seem to always be the same
@@RuthroAlt Oh ok
I can Kill the raid captions but I can't pick up the banner, Idk if I need to do something to unlock the Raid captions (Yes I've beaten the game on apocalypse difficulty)
Hold the banner or move if you miss click then click the banner it again
@@alamak12 thx
Hey bro, having a hard time just starting out. Beat the last boss on default difficulty but obviously my gear is too low for Adventure. Any tips on gear progression? It is hard to get good drops naturally that synergise and the gear at low levels is much more limited.
If I don't do level 10 or level 16 missions I get stomped when trying to do captains. As all the skills survivability is tied to gear, having a hard time just gain power.
Any help would be appreciated.
Some good tips:
Play with friends who have higher levels (if you haven’t got any, my username is istoleyourt0ast if you want help)
Try unlocking Soggy Cave for a guaranteed Obsidian Chest every time (very high unique chance)
Try unlocking Arch Haven for two guaranteed and easy Gold Chests every time (can be found in the cave)
Try a setup of Iron Hide Amulet, Death Cap Mushroom and Gong of Weakening+Anything with Final Shout to complete harder levels
Work your way above the power limit of a level.
Hope this helped.
@@aeterna4491 thank you bro, I will definitely take your advice and try it out. I enjoy playing solo to learn the game but if I continue to have trouble i'll take you up on that!
I haven’t watched the video yet, but I’m still gonna kill the raid captains, mostly beacuse they make the levels more fun.
this video didn’t age well, and neither did the comments XD
Edit: ok ik the Tower has the best loot, but daily trials with 6 banners had had better gear than ancient hunts ever since the Echoing Void DLC released lol
It can replace the mobs with others
I kill them but I don't pick up the banner, I don't like making the whole level harder for just 1 item
If you got gilded items then it would be. But no. As of right now they’re just mini bosses that can kill you with 3 hits and there’s a dozen of them in each level.
I'm honestly so confused, I have like over 12 hours in the game since the update, but I am yet to have encountered a captain. Guess the rng just doesn't like me lol
it has to be a mission you have completed before.
Game: sooo.. you want better gear eyy, well your gonna have to take a spiky stick up the ass if ya REALLY want it🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Players: yep... I want it that badly...
can you "complete" the level before going back to pick up the banners?
The banners despawn
what you can do is avoid as many raid captains as possible, then go back to kill them
Yes, but the game is dead now, so…
@@LordPorkshire ya. i don't care anymore lol.
All fun and games till you get 45% of mobs stun you and there are slimes around
LMAO
04AM, you are awesome.
Yeeea
Not Gilded = Not worth it.
I killed a raid captain and got the mutators but I didn’t get the chest at the end
I got something like 7 or 8 captains and what I received for my hard work was a garbage rare longbow
It was a higher power level but did nothing compared to my current gear
Hello.
Just pick up 1 banner
The reward is not as good.
Can Someone say me where I get the renegade armor? Ty
Check the games wiki
@@braylondunlap5630 ty, I just notice
07:41 The Asien Hunts?
The daily trials don't work for me, cuz I have a cracked version (Don't judge me pls)
Cant help u with that :P
I have got no uniques from the raid captain chests even though I’ve killed multiple in the same level. It makes me wonder how all the TH-camrs and my friends get great loot when I get garbage
Sadly it is like the lottery. All I have gotten, no matter what, is complete trash out of the Captains Chests.
I did it with hardest modifiers on a daily trail and got a common
The only way to get a unique drop from raid captains is to kill all 6 and to pickup 3 threat banners, you don't have to pick up mystery banners at all - mystery banners are the ones that do random modifications like 200% more mob damage or -60% player health
If you only kill one or 2 raid captains and pickup one threat banners the reward will be terrible
@@theseventhammer good to know!
@@theseventhammer yes but then it makes the level much harder for a unique which might not be useful at all
me wondering why he did like 30 mil damage with his bow :0
Nvm I’m just blind he did like 9 mil in total on the creepers
Who spent 2 whole days trying to find a fighters bindings like me?
I don’t pick up the banners...
increase mob damage 160%
Hmm can someone explain how the torment quiver doesnt disrupt dynamo at all? LMAO
this is what i was wondering to ngl
Me: kills 5 captains and goes way above my recommended zone, but still completing the mission nevertheless
Pillager Chest: "hmm best I can do is a rare mace"
I got mob damage increased by 270%
It isn't hard to defeat 6 raid captains and still survive
That really depends on which modifiers you get :P
Couldn't you just kill everything and then pick up the banners so that you get the extra rewards without the added difficulty?
No they aren't
Darn another person useing soul quiver dinamo sadly ot is so over powers and needs a nerf
two minutes in, you still talk around what's in the title of the video
I seen +200% mob hp
The worst for me is 60% player damage reduced.
“120% player damage reduced” for me
@@empty9926 what the
Do you heal instead of damaging
They are worth it
No they aren’t worth, but the feature sucks even more , not because of the banners but because the raid captains are so over powered. I had at least 6 raid captains before half way through lower temple on apocalypse 4 and picking even 1 banner up made it pretty much unplayable. Such a dumb feature.
