The Mines
Minecraft: Story Mode Season 2 Episode 1 Story Summary
When Jesse finally makes her way to the mines, she finds Petra and the two start fighting off zombies. However, Jesse notices that Petra doesn’t have her trademark golden sword with her, and is instead using a normal iron sword. When she asks about it, Petra deflects the question and tells Jesse that she needs her help to find something cool in the mines.
To rekindle their spirit of adventure, Petra challenges Jesse to a race in the mines. During the race, Jesse fends off several zombies, steals a steak from one of the mine workers, and jumps over pits of lava while escaping deadly spiders. Near the finish line, Jesse notices that Petra is slowly getting overwhelmed by the spiders. If you choose to do so, you can help Petra fight off the spiders, but once the threat is eliminated, Petra will dash towards the finish line and win the race.
As the pair finally reaches the depths of the mines, Jesse asks again what exactly is the cool thing Petra wants to show her. After a brief but tense buildup, we see that the thing in question was a llama. Jesse looks nonplussed, but Petra assures her that the llama is important, and it has the ability to find treasures.
Jesse starts hearing a creepy voice whispering her name, but Petra doesn’t hear anything. They get deeper into the mines, and Jesse finds a prismarine gauntlet sitting at the top of some rocks. She takes the gauntlet as the whispers get louder, and when she puts it on, she finds that it’s not so easily removed. Suddenly, a large hole appears beneath their feet, and it seems to be some sort of endless, swirling vortex of doom. The pair quickly cover up the hole, soon referred to as the Heckmouth, before exiting the mines.
Once they’re back on the surface, Jesse asks why the llama is so important. Petra finally reveals that Stella, the mayor of Champion City, scammed her out of her beloved sword, and refuses to give it back unless she retrieves her llama. The pair then make their way to Champion City to confront Stella.
