I don't know if this counts, if anything its the most skill I've ever shown, I get a flint and steel early on, and a wood sword. I have full health, half hunger. All of a sudden, someone with a diamond sword and full iron pops out, I whip out my flint and steel and light him up. He panics, trying to attack, I move and hit him from the side. He exstinguishes the fire he is still so foolishly standing him. But by now, the winner is set and I land the final blow.
The rest of the game was still shockingly tough though! At corn I was ambushed by a team of two, one in half gold, another in half iron. On had a diamond sword, another had iron. I juke the diamond man out. Using my trusty flint and steel I light him up, as I did to the poor soul earlier. He handles it better, jumping out of the fire asap, but the damage was done and I landed another killing blow. Just as I calmed down. I turn to see Mr.Iron charging me, to my shock he darts behind me, grabbing his fallen companions diamond blade, I whip out two quick strikes at him, easily defeating the already weakened foe. I shook my head in disbeliefe at my luck. I light one final fire and burn the extra diamond sword. I went on cruise control from then on, making a relativly easy victory in the end of it all.
