Advancement Made!Very Very FrighteningOverview
Very Very Frightening is a task advancement in the Adventure tab of Minecraft's advancement system, carrying the in-game description "Strike a Villager with lightning." It branches directly off A Throwaway Joke, so that earlier advancement is its prerequisite and must be earned first. The Adventure tab covers advancements focused on exploration, combat, trading, and interacting with the world and its inhabitants. Very Very Frightening was added in Minecraft 1.13 and is still in the 26.2 advancement set.
It is rated Hard difficulty on this site: requires significant effort, rare resources, or dangerous encounters. It uses the standard task frame, meaning it is a normal step in the tree rather than a goal or challenge milestone. Nothing else in the tree depends on it, so it is a leaf at the tip of its branch.
In tree terms, Very Very Frightening sits third along its line: the full path from the Adventure root reads Adventure -> Monster Hunter -> A Throwaway Joke -> Very Very Frightening. That means 3 advancements must be completed before this one becomes available, and Very Very Frightening is one of 47 total advancements in the Adventure tab. No other advancement shares its parent, so it is the only thing that branches from A Throwaway Joke.
How to Complete Very Very Frightening
Earning Very Very Frightening comes down to the following, performed in order:
- Hit a villager with lightning using a Channeling-enchanted trident during a thunderstorm.
- Throw the trident at or near the villager during a thunderstorm to call lightning.
- This converts the villager to a witch.
Tips & Fastest Route
Tips & Fastest Route- Fastest route: Throw a Channeling trident at a villager during a thunderstorm to call lightning onto it.
- Channeling only works during an active thunderstorm, not ordinary rain.
- The strike turns the villager into a witch, which confirms it landed.
- Make sure A Throwaway Joke is already ticked off before you start, otherwise Very Very Frightening will not be tracked even if you perform the steps correctly.
- At Hard difficulty, Very Very Frightening rewards preparation over speed: line up the items and conditions in the steps first rather than improvising mid-attempt.
Common Mistakes
Common Mistakes- Remember that Very Very Frightening will not appear as available until A Throwaway Joke is done, since the game only tracks an advancement once its parent has been unlocked.
Reward & What It Unlocks
