Gameplay Strategy: Ancient Plateau

Ancient Plateau is one of the few large maps that were introduced in the gamemode. This map was added after having the 1st 3 maps of the game (Fairground, Temple of the Angels, and The Retreat). This map is known to be laggy for people who don’t have a very good computer because of the map’s size.

Shard Locations:

 * 1) At the far Temple (Herobrine’s Spawn point)
 * 2) Stairs leading to the Temple (in front of HB’s spawn[new spawn since V2])
 * 3) At the lake to the right of Main Temple
 * 4) At the lake to the left of the Far Temple (Left of Hb’s spawn)
 * 5) Near Catacombs Entrance (in front of Hb’s spawn)
 * 6) 1st room inside the Catacombs
 * 7) Final room inside the Catacombs (Heads Room[Easter Egg]
 * 8) 3 spawns inside various houses in the village
 * 9) In the village area/walkway (on the right side)
 * 10) Main Temple/Spawn (when the shard is Dropped[new spawn since V2])

Survivor Strategy:
This Map is VERY big and has many places to camp and/or hide and not be seen. The Forests that are North and South of the map can easily make plain out of sight since Herobrine normally roams around the main village area. Staying at the village can help get shards easily, but makes you seen by Herobrine. So picking out a point where you can easily get shards and stay hidden is key to surviving in the Plateau. If there are few survivors left of the game, you can easily stay in the boundaries while capturing shards, there are multiple vines to climb at spawn so you can access to the altar from behind instead of the stairs. The catacombs is an easy spot to hide or stay hidden, just in case if you are last alive.

Herobrine Strategy:
For a very large map, Herobrine can travel fairly well around the map. The Leaves that scatter around the ground in some places of the village and all around the village can easily be avoided with the Jump Boost II. Try not to rely mostly on the village area especially when there are a few survivors left, some might be hiding in the forest areas, the catacombs, and/or inside the houses where the shards don’t spawn at all. It can easily be a game of Hide and Seek for such a big map.
