Minecraft: Edition

Here's some extra info on how to find the required ingredients in the tutorial level:

Glass bottle - In the chest next to the brewing stand
Water - Next to the chest mentioned above
Spider eye - Randomly collected when killing a spider at night
Sugar - Collect sugar canes which are tall green plants found near water usually. Next create sugar from the sugar canes on a crafting table.
Brown mushrooms - Found easily in grassy areas, the game specifies them as simply "mushrooms" not "brown mushrooms".
Redstone - Found in a chest just before the castle in an underground passage
Gunpowder - Kill a creeper at night, it must not explode otherwise it won't drop any gunpowder. Kill it with arrows ideally.
Apple - A random drop from trees, "mine" the leaves on green trees to find an apple. Alternatively go to X -176, Y 66, Z 121 to find some apples in a chest (credit to SilentlyForgot).
Gold - There are a few blocks of gold at X -281, Y 74, Z 243. You need some form of explosives to obtain these. Also near this temple in the desert is another temple where 4 chests are found by mining beneath it. The co-ords for this are -310, 66, 105 (credit to W1LLYMAN). You have to avoid the blue block in this area between the chests as it explodes.

Also, play on "normal" as zombie villagers are more likely to spawn (50% chance on normal and 100% on hard). Alternatively you can lure some zombies to villagers to "infect" them.

UPDATE: At the moment I have a game world with the 2 finished items (splash potion of weakness + golden apple) available along with some trapped zombie villagers. If you want to boost this please add & message me on Xbox One (not on the TA website).

I no longer have this world available. Thanks to everyone who joined and left feedback.

In total I helped 118 people in getting this achievement.

Easiest way to do this is to load up the tutorial level. To the right in the massive structure is the brewing stand and down some stairs there is redstone.

What you want to do is make 2 things. A Splash Potion of Weakness (I recommend Weakness+ for the extra time to be safe) and a golden apple.

Raw materials you need are
Crafting Table
Brewing Stand
Glass bottle
Water
Spider Eye
Sugar
Brown Mushroom
Redstone (recommended for the Weakness+)
Gunpowder
Apple
8 golden nuggets (get this from one gold bar)

With the glass bottle, add water to turn into a Water Bottle.

Combine the Spider Eye, Sugar and Brown Mushroom to make a Fermented Spider Eye.

Brew the Fermented Spider Eye with the Glass Bottle to get a Potion of Weakness.

Brew the Redstone with Potion of Weakness to get Potion of Weakness+.

Brew the Gunpowder with Potion of Weakness+ to make Splash Potion of Weakness+

When you have an apple and 8 nuggets combine them in the food crafting menu to make a Golden apple.

Now the hard part. Finding a zombie villager. Just outside the fortress there are 2 villages. just look at the surrounding area around them and take a look at the zeds closely. Zombie Villagers have skinnier heads but still camouflage fairly well as regular zombies. Once you find one take out all other enemy mobs around you just so that you don't get killed trying to help this villager. Once it's one on one toss the splash potion at the zombie villager. Aim higher as the potions have a deep arc. Once the splash has hit run up to it and start hitting left trigger with a Golden Apple equipped and he should start giving off purple smoke signals and go docile towards you. Then you get the achievement and feel happy before heading off to bed.

This solution will take about 90 seconds to two minutes to complete. And is far easier than anything listed above. No brewing, no crafting.

*Edit* for some players it can take up five minutes for the zombie villager to be cured, if you are worried that it isn't working just make a cup of tea and wait for a bit 😊 thanks to all those in the comments who highlighted this.

With igloos now naturally spawning as buildings you just need to load up a spawn which has one in location and has spawned with a basement. I used the following, but there are plenty listed on the minecraft forums.


Seed: -2788760844838102142 ( not my discovery, posted on minecraftforums.net)

*Edit* If you bring up your map it will be at co-ordinates x21, y69, z36.


1) In the trees no further than 50 meters from the spawn is an unusual looking pile of snow. This is the igloo.

2) Dig into it and then dig up the carpet until you find a trapdoor, open it and go down the ladder. This igloo spawns with a basement so everything you need will be at the bottom.

3) In front of you you will see a normal villager and a zombie villager in cages.

4) Open the chest to retrieve a golden apple and open the brewing stand to get the required potion.

5) Mine the top half of he iron bars in front of the zombie villager until they break.

6) Do it at an angle so as not to hit them as they have died instantly on me a couple of times.

7) Throw the potion, force feed them the apple and achievement unlocked.

Any questions or feedback please let me know.

Update 20-12-2015: As of update 18.1 the tutorial world has changed and so this exact solution is no longer valid.

Since TU19 the tutorial world has completely changed! I have made a video of our process using the new world to obtain the achievement to help you all find the required crafting items.

To sum it up, most of the other solutions are still valid in terms of what items you need.

In the starting area, grab some food from the animal pens area to get your food and health bar up to full, grab a sword and axe from the enchantment area, grab some iron from the chest near the beacon, axe up a block of wood and make yourself a iron pickaxe (important), grab the gunpowder from the firework tutorial and fill up 3 bottles while you are there from the potion tutorial.

Go down to the water area opposite the animal pen, get the boats from the chest and head under the bridge towards the sand village, cross through to the water on the other side, you will see a ship in the distance to the right, head towards it in a boat and into the building behind it. You should be close to the bottom left corner of the map.

In here have a good look around but ultimately you need to find the library, flip the leaver next to the fireplace to open a passageway, in the room at the end is a chunk of gold blocks (hence the iron pickaxe)

All other required items can be found in this building so get brewing and crafting that golden apple! Brew fermented spider's eye, redstone and then gunpowder to make Splash Potion of Weakness+. One word of note, in this TU19 update gold bars are now required to make a golden apple so keep watch on that for future updates in case it goes back to nuggets.

Head back to the sand village you passed through and wait for the zombies to convert a villager, it is recommended to save here and reload with autosave disabled in case it all goes wrong. Not sure if it makes a difference but we reloaded the world on normal difficulty just to try and increase the chances of a zombie villager.

Once found (they look like a zombie version of a villager) throw potion and feed(?) with golden apple (both actions with LT), the achievement will unlock once you have used the golden apple, the cure doesn't have to be completed.

I made a video guide on how I got this Achievement, and showing how I got the items and where. I Wrote Annotations on the video as a guide to what I am going after and what I did. I did this in the Tutorial. In my guide, I had dogs that blew up the temple with the chests. I found that the pyramid that was sort of near by had some Gold Blocks in the middle of it. When the temple Blew up it also had some Iron Blocks and Coal, so you can make an Iron Pickaxe and mine the Gold Blocks in the pyramid.

Original solution by SFK Genus, i just made it in to a video

Normally I wouldn't post a solution basically reiterating what another poster has already said, but I made a short video that shows how to do it, and also wanted to offer my services to those who were having trouble or just wanted to do it quickly as possible.

Text Guide


After throwing the potion and feeding him the apple, it can take up to 5 minutes for him to turn back to a normal villager. After he turns back, THEN you will unlock the achievement.

I've included a video as well showing you how to do all of this. If you would like instead, send me a message via Xbox and I will invite you to the game and you can do this yourself as well.

Very easy to get this super fast if you don't want to read the essay below here is a video
Load up the tutorial world. You need to make a Splash Potion Of Weakness and a Golden Apple (Golden Apple has to be made with gold bars NOT gold blocks!).

Splash Potion of Weakness - To make this you need a Vial of water (Potion brewing tutorial area),a Fermented Spider Eye (Sugar, Spider eye & Brown Mushroom) and Gun Powder (fireworks tutorial area). Add these together to make the potion.

Golden Apple - To make this you need Gold Bars (In the floor of the church at Co ordinates X: -115, Y: 69, Z: -80) and an Apple (In a chest at co ordinates X: 0, Y: 32, Z: -5)

Once you have both of these head to a village then save once night begins. exit and reload but this time on hard and I advise you turn off auto save. Let the zombies turn one of the villagers then trap the infected villager so they can't get away or hurt you.

Throw the potion at them using Then Cure them with the Golden Apple by pressing

I see a lot of great videos so I thought I would just add my own up there. The video below shows what you will need to cure the zombie villager. A few things to note is you must hit the zombie villager with the potion, then use a golden apple for the achievement to pop. The golden apple must be fed to the villager then boom the achievment should pop. There are two videos displayed below the first is creating the potion, and the golden apple needed for achievment. The second is what the zombie villager looks like and how to complete curing of the zombie villager.

This may be the hardest achievement in the game, as it requires a long series of steps.

To start things off, you will need a Splash Potion and a Golden Apple; Splash Potions are made using Gunpowder obtained from creepers and Golden Apples are made from 8 gold ingots and an apple.

Now you must find a zombie villager, they are usually found near villages at night but can sometimes be found elsewhere in the world.

It is best if you somehow trap the zombie villager. Now throw the potion at the zombie and feed him the golden apple, he will slowly begin to be cured. If you are out in the open, monsters will swarm your area trying to attack the zombie villager and yourself.

Once he has fully recovered this achievement should pop.

Here's a video to help:
