Entrance / First Detonator (Difficulty: 1 / 10)

• Once inside stand atop the red carpet and piston "detonator" to light the redstone "fuse line" and ignite TNT that clears the path.
  • Note: TNT cannot damage you
• Continue forward, crossing a rickety bridge and rounding the corner to fight zombies and/or Undead Miners.

Second Detonator (1 / 10)

• The fuse line is connected to TNT, but it's covered by a moveable crate.
• Push the crate by standing against it to move it off of the fuse line, then stand on the detonator to light the TNT and clear the way.
  • Note: Crate movement is restricted to the path made of gray concrete powder in the floor.

Crate Puzzle I (2 / 10)

• A larger cavernous room contains a two crates in a gap in the wall and a steep cliff.
• Push the crates towards the ledge to create a staircase and climb up to continue.

• Go beyond the barrier with the "NO ACCESS, NOT SAFE!" sign and around the corner to collect an "Explosive Charge".
• Place the charge and press the detonator to progress.

Crate Puzzle II (2 / 10)

• A large room contains a several boxes, two detonators, and a 2x2 TNT on a ledge.
• There are 3 major sections to this puzzle, clearing the fuse line for the 2x2 TNT, opening the cavern to reach the TNT, and moving the TNT to be ignited.
  • Push the crates off of the fuse line
  • Move a crate on the right to reveal a small cavern with another explosive charge. Use the charge to open the cavern covered by the smaller granite boulder.
  • Push the 2x2 TNT down, move other crates out of the way and place the 2x2 TNT in front of the larger granite boulder.
