There's a lot to the Nether so we need a long review. Once you download the DLC, there will be a new tab called, Other Dimensions, next to Island Realms. You can get here by pressing RB. Once you're there, you will see the Nether, and the End. We will cover the End in the next review. Below the Nether is an Ancient Hunt. We will cover that later.
The first level is the Nether Wastes. The Nether levels are based off of the Nether biomes. In the Nether Wastes, the first mobs you will run into when you start the level are piglins, piglin brutes, and magma cubes. Piglins, which we cover in a Minecraft review, can have either a golden sword or crossbow and can be armored. Piglins aren't necessarily powerful, but piglin brutes are. Piglin brutes can have armor, and carry Firebrands, which are unique axes. Magma cubes are also from Minecraft, like many mobs in Minecraft Dungeons.
As you explore the Nether Wastes, you will run into wither skeletons and blazes. These two mobs are from Minecraft, as well. Once you complete this level, you will unlock the next. It's either Crimson Forest or Basalt Delta. I forget because I unlocked those almost a year ago.
While playing Crimson Forest, you will find one new mob. It is the fungus thrower. These piglins throw mushrooms that explode into a poison cloud. On Crimson Forest, you will be able to find and unlock a secret level, I forget which one.
In Warped Forest, there are the same mobs as in Crimson Forest. In Basalt Deltas, this is a very long level, there are also the same mobs. There's so much to explore. You will also find ghasts. Ghasts spawn as bosses and can be hard if you don't have a good ranged weapon.
The longest level in the Nether is the Nether Fortress. At first, it looks short, but you must unlock things by going in side passages and secret rooms. Soul Sand Valley is my favorite Nether level. It's short, and fun. Soul Sand Valley also has lots of mobs.
You've probably been wondering about the Ancient Hunt. When you select the Ancient Hunt, you must offer items. The items with the most runes are best. Runes are displayed at the bottom of the item. Offer an item. An armor, a melee weapon, an artifact, and a ranged weapon. You can also offer enchantment points. Offering enchantment points will decrease your level by the amount of points you offered. During this hunt, you will get gold from chests. If you find a room with a glowing blue entrance, it is either an Ancient Mob or a gold room. If you find an Ancient Mob, it is somewhat of a boss and can be very hard. Ancients will drop gilded items. When an item is gilded, it has an added passive ability. For example, my Truthseeker that I got from an Ancient has the normal passive abilities, plus Leeching III as the gilded ability. My Truthseeker always causes me to win, except when I don't win.
Sadly, Minecraft Dungeons comes to an end in the next review, but Microsoft has more planned.
