Mission 5: The Evil Eye

**Mission 5** is the fifth mission of Assassin of Steve 2, where you venture through the Puffer Caves and defeat Lord Prismbeam in order to continue your quest.

## Walkthrough

After the Cropper dumps you into Puffer Caves, you will find a shop button, and beyond that, a large prismarine cavern filled with water and Puffer Zombies. At the end of the cavern a chest will spawn with Scuba Squid Masks and Swimmer Flippers, gear for travelling underwater. The Puffer Caves consists of lots of tunnels both above and below water, the above water caves having Puffer Zombies, and the below water caves being inhabited by Puffer Guardians. You can also find Lapis Lazuli blocks in the walls that you can break with a Lapis Lazuli Pickaxe in order to find shortcuts, breathing holes, or loot chests, however this is optional. As long as you keep going in a southerly direction through the caves, you should eventually find a cave with dark prismarine and coal blocks around it - you need to go in here to get to the boss fight.

Lord Prismbeam is a huge elder guardian that takes up one side of the cavern he's in. He shoots firework-lasers that deal six hearts of damage to you should you be in the way when they flash yellow. In order to defeat him, Chipnone says he has a spell that can defeat him but it doesn't work underwater, so you need to clear out the water with sponges. Additionally, Lord Prismbeam's spines are holding water, so you must destroy them. Every mob in the boss fight has a chance to drop a sponge. Sponges have to be placed on diamond blocks in order to permanently clear all the water in the area near it. Also, Demonic Guardians spawn during the fight, and they will inflict mining fatigue III on you, so you cannot break any blocks while one is alive.

Once you have placed five sponges in their positions, Lord Prismbeam's spines will become vulnerable, which you will be able to mine with a Lapis Lazuli Pickaxe. Unbreakable pickaxes spawn in a chest once you get to this phase as well, if you don't have any yet. More Demonic Guardians will spawn when reaching this phase, that you must kill to be able to mine the spines.

After destroying Lord Prismbeam's spines, the whole cave should be cleared up and Chipnone can use his spell to destroy Lord Prismbeam.

### Mission 5 Book

The Cropper has trapped you inside the Puffer Caves, and in order for you to go and find the second pink jewel, you will need to escape.

Objectives: Escape from the Puffer Caves by defeating the monsters within. Warning: Lord Prismbeam is thought to live within these caves, so if you encounter him you will need to defeat him.

## Mobs

Puffer Zombies are zombies with chain armor and blue leather armor that has thorns on it. There are three different types - the one with the sword and shield has high health and knockback resistance, the one with just the sword has knockback enchantments on its sword, and the one with the pickaxe moves faster. All variants have depth strider on their boots, so they will move quickly through the water.

Puffer Guardians are mobs that swim around underwater and fire lasers at you should you be near one. The laser takes a short period of time to charge up. If a Puffer Guardian's laser locks on to you, you can move into a position where it cannot see you to avoid taking damage. They also inflict thorns damage on you if you attack one while its spikes are extended.

Demonic Guardians are larger versions of Puffer Guardians that inflict mining fatigue III on you while one is alive, so you cannot mine any lapis lazuli blocks. They are guaranteed to drop either a sponge or Lapis Lazuli pickaxe during the boss fight.

## Equipment

## Chest Locations

* There is a loot chest underwater in the middle of the first cavern.

* Mining the lapis blocks on the left side of the cavern after going underwater the first time will reveal another loot chest.

* After resurfacing, where the path splits in two, take the right path. There is a loot chest on the floor, hidden in a cavern in the back.

* After resurfacing a second time, where the path splits forward and backward, taking the back path and heading left will lead to a chest with the lore book The Lord's Domain.

* If you take the path and head right instead, there is a small hole on the floor after going back underwater. Going in it will reveal another loot chest.

* If you take the path forward, there are some lapis blocks on the left side of the cavern underwater that contains another loot chest.

## Music

*Main article: Music*

At all times, one of the following tracks can play:

* **Ossuary 2 - Turn** by Kevin MacLeod.
* **Ossuary 3 - Words** by Kevin MacLeod.

During the boss fight against Lord Prismbeam, the track **Harmful or Fatal** by Kevin MacLeod plays.

## Trivia

* This mission also contains Melons, the only other food consumable in the map other than Steak.
* This mission is one of the only missions to not have five random music tracks to choose from during non-boss fight sections, instead there is only two. The reason for this is likely due to the relatively short length of this section.
	+ 'Ossuary 2 - Turn' and 'Ossuary 3 - Words' are both tracks that can play during Mission 5 of Assassin of Steve 3, on the Green End Ship.
	+ Ossuary 3 - Words can also play during Mission 7 of Assassin of Steve.

* 'Harmful or Fatal' can also play during the fights against Warden Frostbite in Assassin of Steve and both of the Green Ender Captain's fights in Assassin of Steve 3: Endergeddon.

* You can easily swim under every mob in this mission, and tank the Guardian lasers to reach the end in a very, very short amount of time.

* Lord Prismbeam's fight has gone under a large number of reworks, mostly to make the fight easier and quicker to complete.
	+ The blocks that you placed the Sponges on used to be Cyan Stained Glass instead of Diamond Blocks (they were changed in 1.10 Patch 5 to be easier to see).
	+ They also used to be surrounded by lapis lazuli boulders that you would be forced to mine until 1.10 Patch 7. Further back, in the original 1.8 version, you had to place 9 sponges in order to clear out all the water instead of just 5, which was reduced to the current value in the 1.10 update.
	+ The spine phase existed in the original 1.8 version as it is now, however you weren't given a free chest with unbreakable Lapis Lazuli Pickaxes. This phase was removed in the 1.10 update, but then added back in with 1.10 Patch 7.
