Pink Jewel

**WARNING: THIS ARTICLE CONTAINS MAJOR SPOILERS THAT MAY SPOIL YOUR ENJOYMENT OF THE MAP.**

A **Pink Jewel** is a rare, magical substance of incredible power that can be found in the Nether. They play a vital role in Assassin of Steve 2 for locating the Squiggly Replic, which was stolen by the Assassin.

## Information

The Pink Jewels resemble pink dye in appearance. According to the lore book The Pink Jewels, they are found in the Nether dimension.

They appear to have a number of different properties, Dr Mutation claiming to have found 'hundreds' of applications for the one he was entrusted with, which mostly stemmed from its potential as a 'incredibly powerful and seemingly infinite renewable power source'. He would go on to use his Pink Jewel inside Mutatron to power a sword that could summon Pink Particles. King Parcore set four of them up so that, when brought together, they would point to the location of the Squiggly Replic.

## Appearances

### Before the Assassin of Steve maps

At some time after the Ender War, King Parcore became worried that somebody would be able to enter the Snout Temple and steal the Squiggly Replic, so as a safety precaution, he set up four **Pink Jewels** so that they would tell the location of the Squiggly Replic when put together. For safekeeping he distributed the four jewels to four of his trusted acquaintances that lived in the Tribal Snout Jungle, who were:

* The Cropper
* Windwood
* Dr Mutation
* Stelldark the Astral Wizard

The Cropper remained indifferent to his Pink Jewel's power but kept it on him, apparently expressing a lack of knowledge of what it was supposed to be for. On the other hand, Windwood vowed to protect it with his life, even allowing himself to be destroyed rather than give it up. Dr Mutation was the only Pink Jewel holder to try to figure out what it was, and used it to power his mech, Mutatron. It is not really known how Stelldark felt about being bestowed a Pink Jewel.

### Assassin of Steve 2: The Tribal Snouts

Pink Jewels appear only in Assassin of Steve 2, where they are a major plot device.

After the player enters the Tribal Snout Village and meets Chipnone, he informs them about how the Squiggly Replic was stolen and that, by obtaining the Pink Jewels from the four holders, they can track it down. The player and Chipnone are successful at encountering and defeating each of the four holders, and then obtaining their Pink Jewels.

Afterwards Chipnone teleports himself and the player to a spot close to the Snout Temple where he reads their reaction and says the Squiggly Replic is still in the Snout Temple. Inside the Assassin leaves as soon as they reach the bottom, leaving them to fight the Lunar Orb. Chipnone uses the Pink Jewels again afterwards to find where the Assassin is heading, which is towards the Redstone Volcano.

Upon encountering the Assassin, Chipnone reveals his true allegiance to the Assassin, and gives the Assassin all the Pink Jewels so that the player cannot track them anymore.

The Pink Jewels are never seen or even mentioned in Assassin of Steve 3, and it is unknown what became of them.

## Trivia

* The Pink Jewels are only seen physically as an item three times throughout the map.
	+ The first is after destroying Mutatron. Dr Mutation will throw his at Chipnone to give it to him.
	+ The second is when Chipnone reads their reactions after completing Mission 9.
	+ The third is in Mission 12, where Chipnone throws all four Pink Jewels (in a single stack) at the Assassin.
