Mission 2: Creeperstone

**Mission 2** is the second mission of Assassin of Steve 2, where you journey to the Tribal Snout Village in an attempt to find the Assassin.

## Walkthrough

After leaving the Zombifier Lair you will reach Rhouff - a village with huge, tall dark oak trees. You need to enter the church at the very back of the village, where you will find the first shop button. You need to open the Equipment Chest at the shop button and take a Mossy Pickaxe, which you can use to break the mossy cobblestone boulders in the way of the path to the right of the church.

In the jungle, you will face off against numerous Jungle Zombies and Bone Hunters, and the occasional creeper. There will be more mossy cobblestone boulders that you will need to break through, so be sure to hold onto your Mossy Pickaxe. Be careful - some mossy cobblestone boulders have creepers hiding in them!

Once you get through the jungle you will enter the clearing with a structure built out of sandstone and green wool in the centre. This is a Creeper Totem, which will begin to spawn creepers. The Creeper Totem has three stages of attacks. You can tell what stage it is in by the block at the very top.

* Emerald Block: The totem will spawn normal creepers.
* Redstone Block: The totem will spawn creepers that will automatically explode after spawning.
* Diamond Block: The totem will spawn one Shield Creeper. These do not take any damage from attacks, so you have to let it explode. Be careful when doing so!

In order to defeat the creeper totem you have to break into the four mossy cobblestone boulders around the totem. Each boulder has a hole beneath with a ladder that leads down to a small cavern with a Creeper Soul in it. You have to defeat all four creeper souls, then place their heads on the brick part of the totem. Once you have done so the creeper totem will open up, and a skeleton wearing chain armor and a creeper head will spawn at the top. You have to shoot it with a bow until it is defeated. Alternately, you could also try to climb up and hit it from melee range, but this is not recommended as it will just shoot you off, and the creepers will continue to spawn. Once you have defeated the creeper totem Mission 2 is complete.

### Mission 2 Book

The Mayor of Rhouff thinks that the Assassin is working with the Tribal Snouts, who are a dangerous tribe of pigmen, because of the fact that the Assassin kidnapped the Rhouff Villagers while an invasion was in progress.

Objectives: Journey through the jungle and enter the Tribal Snout village.

Note: Take the Mossy Pickaxe that is in the Equipment Chest - you will need it.

## Mobs

Jungle Zombies are zombies wearing varying amounts of jungle and chain armor. All three variants have the same stats.

Bone Hunters are skeletons with bows and varying amounts of jungle and chain armor. Both of the two variants have the same stats.

Creepers are effectively the same as vanilla creepers.

Shield Creepers in the Creeper Totem boss fight do not take any damage from attacks, so you have to let them explode. They have a smaller blast radius than a normal charged creeper, but higher than a normal creeper.

Creeper Souls are invisible mobs with just a creeper head. There are two types - the first with two stone swords, the second with a bow. Both variants drop a creeper head upon death.

## Equipment

## Chest Locations

* The first loot chest can be found directly to the right after getting past the first mossy cobblestone boulder.

## Trivia

* In the original 1.8 version, a Multiplayer Exclusive Area could be accessed in the clearing between the second and third boulders. It led to a puzzle where one player had to get through a passageway while the other had to flick a lever to open and close certain coloured blocks.
* There is a hidden creeper in every boulder except the first and last boulder.
* Mission 2 does not contain any Lore Books. It shares this property with Mission 9 and Mission 12 in this map.
* None of the music tracks that play in this mission play in any other mission in any other map, making this mission one of the only to be the case.
	+ The only other mission where this is the case is Mission 4 from Assassin of Steve 3.
* Mission 2 is the only mission in the trilogy to have no dialogue after its beginning (with the title) and before the boss fight begins.
