  3. 3Beat the EldersAny order. Everyone can help.
  4. 4Grab the trimFirst to the core keeps the Tide Trim.
  5. 5It resets15 minutes later, anyone can start again.

The /ocean menu shows everything live.

The menu shows you:

  • If the monument is asleep, awake or cleared
  • Each Elder's status and health
  • The items you need (green = you have enough)
  • Your stats, quests and the leaderboards

Bring water breathing. The chambers are flooded.

Pick a difficulty

Whoever starts the run picks the difficulty, and pays an offering of Pufferfish, Nautilus Shells and Raw Cod. Harder means stronger Elders, but more loot.

The ShallowsEasy1–2 playersCosts 5 of each
The DepthsNormal2–3 playersCosts 10 of each
The AbyssHard3+ playersCosts 15 of each

The cost goes up by 5 for every run you finish (up to 3 runs), so new players pay the least. Only the player who starts the run pays.

The three Elders

Walk into a chamber and its Elder wakes up. Waves of armoured drowned and guardians keep coming while you fight. More players means a tougher Elder, but more loot. If everyone leaves for 60 seconds, the Elder heals.

Elder of the Pulse

Every 30 seconds it blinds and slows the whole room. A bell counts down 3‑2‑1 first.

How to win: Hit it between pulses. When the bell rings, group up and hold on.

Elder of the Tide

The more you hurt it, the faster monsters spawn. Below 25% health it goes into a frenzy.

How to win: Clear the monsters early, then burst it down fast at the end.

Elder of the Anchors

It can't be hurt while its 4 glowing anchors stand. Follow the purple beams to find them.

How to win: Break all 4 anchors, then hit the Elder in the 20 seconds before they come back.

Rewards

Every Elder explodes into loot when it dies: prismarine, sea lanterns, sponges, fish and sometimes a Heart of the Sea. It's first come, first served, so stay close.

The Tide Armor Trim

When the last Elder falls, the core drops one Tide Armor Trim under a beam of light. The first player to grab it keeps it.

Tips

  • Bring water breathing and good gear.
  • Split up to find the hidden chambers faster.
  • Decide who runs to the core before the last Elder dies.
  • Bring new players: they pay less, and you earn the Mentor quest.
  • Look for hidden relics. They tell the monument's story, and there are secrets near the core.

FAQ

How do I start the Ocean Monument?

Type /ocean (or right-click the block at the entrance), pick a difficulty and pay the offering of Pufferfish, Nautilus Shells and Raw Cod.

Can I join a run someone else started?

Yes. The whole server shares one monument, so if it's awake, just swim in and help.

Do the Elders have to be beaten in order?

No. Any order, by anyone, and different groups can fight different Elders at the same time.

Who gets the Tide Armor Trim?

Whoever grabs it first from the core after the third Elder dies. There's one per run.

Why did the Elder heal to full?

Everyone left its chamber for 60 seconds, so the fight reset.

Why do I pay more than my friend?

The offering goes up with every run you finish, so new players pay less. Letting the newest player start the run is allowed.
