How Did We Get Here?

The all-status-effects advancement that Sian and _eb chased for weeks in Season 2, with an unreliable dolphin as the running gag.

Curiosity ASMP S2 tradition

“How Did We Get Here?” is the Minecraft advancement for having every status effect at once. In Season 2 it became a shared goal, chiefly for Emperor Sian and _eb. prop liked the name and sometimes just asked the question in chat 1. Sian warned that the Warden was only the start: “How did we get here doesn’t end with just the warden” 2.

The obstacle was the dolphin, which is needed for Dolphin’s Grace. On 21 August 2022 Sian reported: “I did 3 attempts today and all 3 failed bc of dolphin” 3. In September he explained the problem: “The dolphin either dies or simply doesn’t give the effect” 4. Even in October the promise was still a promise: “Next week I will finish the how did we get here advancement” 5.

The step-by-step planning is in The Status-Effect Advancement Grind.
