Deeper and Darker — The Otherside
A compact dimension chapter built around the Deeper and Darker mod. It takes you from the Deep Dark and the Warden into a new dimension, The Otherside, with its own sculk-themed mobs and drops. It’s an optional exploration track you can pursue once you’re comfortable in the Deep Dark. See Dimensions & Space Travel Mods and Creatures, Bosses & Mobs.
Walkthrough
- Kill a Warden — Found underground in the Overworld’s Deep Dark. Drops the Heart of the Deep, your key to the portal.
- Enter The Otherside — Before lighting the portal, remove all Sculk Veins from the inner frame, then right-click the cleared frame with the Heart of the Deep from the Warden.
- Otherside mobs (kill quests, each with a themed drop):
- Shattered → Soul Dust.
- Stalker → Soul Crystal. Rare chance to spawn after breaking an Ancient Vase.
- Shriek Worm → Sculk Bone. Appears by stepping on Infested Sculk.
- Find a Sculk Snapper — Can be tamed with enchanted Netherite Chestplates; once tamed they occasionally drop enchanted books.
Tips
- The Warden is a serious fight — come geared and consider ranged/hit-and-run tactics before attempting the Heart of the Deep.
- Don’t try to light the portal until every Sculk Vein is cleared from the inner frame, or it won’t activate.
- Keep spare enchanted Netherite Chestplates if you want to tame Sculk Snappers for passive enchanted-book income.
