The Wither Storm is the main antagonist of the Season Pass in the Minecraft: Story Mode series.
It is a superpowered variant of the Wither summoned by Ivor through replacing one of the soul sand pieces with a command block. Programmed to follow the Amulet, its purpose was to expose the Order of the Stone for Soren's fake stories. It went on a devastating rampage across the Overworld, absorbing everything in its path to grow even bigger than it already is.
Upon being destroyed by the Formidi-Bomb, the command block revives the it's severed parts into three different Wither Storms. It could only permanently killed by an enchanted weapon specifically made to destroy it.
Biography[]
Order of the Stone[]
When Ivor puts the Wither Skeleton Skull on top of the Command Block, Ivor tries to prove that he can defeat it, but the potion has no effect due to it not being the correct potion because either Axel or Jesse (depending on Jesse's choice when Axel attempts to take it) stole it earlier. Jesse throws the real potion, but the Wither Storm covers the Command Block, causing the potion to have no effect.
The Wither Storm continues to follow Jesse and his friends as they head to Gabriel's temple. When they try to escape, it tries to capture Gabriel, but he is rescued by Jesse, but then both Gabriel and Petra are captured, and Jesse must choose to rescue one of them and once he or she makes his or her decision, he or she tries to rescue the other one but the Wither Storm knocks him or her into the nether portal.
Later, at the end of the episode, it appears at the sunset as a warning, and Lukas says, "Please hurry," to warn Jesse and the others that the Wither Storm is coming for them, but didn't realize at the time that it was tracking Gabriel's amulet.
Assembly Required[]
The Wither Storm attacks when Jesse and Olivia/Axel try to get Ellegaard/Magnus, later they plan to destroy the Wither Storm with a Formidi-Bomb. If Jesse chooses to rest before heading to Soren's temple, the Wither Storm will catch up with them.
The Last Place You Look[]
The team attempts to destroy the Wither Storm with the Formidi-Bomb after receiving it. Jesse flies through the tractor beam to force the explosion on the Storm. However, the Command Block was not destroyed in the process, allowing it to come back to life. To make matters worse, the Wither Storm can multiply, some fallen pieces of it also regenerate and turn into three new, smaller Wither Storms known as Severed Wither Storms. The team then flees to find another way to destroy it.
A Block and a Hard Place[]
The Wither Storm quickly tracks down Jesse and his/her friends alongside its two counterparts, but when they meet up with Ivor once again, they flee to the Far Lands and receive a weapon that can destroy the command block. They manage to anger enough Enderman to tear a hole in the main Wither Storm.
After a long, hard battle, Jesse destroys the Command Block in the Wither Storm, thus finally destroying it alongside the other two Wither Storms. Despite this, from the victory, there comes a great cost: aside many hostile creatures that were killed in its path of destruction, the Wither Storm has left tremendous damage, caused the death of one of the members of the Order of the Stone (either Ellegaard or Magnus), and indirectly killed Reuben.
Behavior[]
The Wither Storm's behavior is similar to a regular Wither's, but it is on the more cataclysmic and dangerous level due to its power. Though Ivor programmed the Command Block that was used for its creation to ensure that his Wither would obey him, it ultimately went berserk and caused destruction throughout the land as it ignored him. Ultimately, the Wither Storm is a primal living force of destruction that only exists to destroy everything until nothing is left.
In episode 4, A Block and a Hard Place, Ivor revealed that the Wither Storm does not cause destruction randomly; when programming the Command Block that created the Wither Storm, he also programmed to have it follow the Order of the Stone's amulet, which explained why the Wither Storm followed wherever Jesse and his/her friends went.
Powers and Abilities[]
Compared to a regular Wither, the Wither Storm's powers are so immense that it is more like an incarnation of the God of Destruction. It’s Wither Skull projectile's firepower is far more destructive than a normal Wither's and has developed the ability to project a powerful tractor beam that sucking in any mobs or blocks in it, and inflicts them with Wither Sickness upon being devoured. The Wither Storm can also display God-like strength and durability, as its tentacles can easily break through Obsidian walls like a twig, even before it reaches its massive size, and is immune to conventional weapons. Its regenerative ability that comes from a Command Block used to create it is so potent that even after being blown into pieces with the Formidi-Bomb, the Wither Storm can eventually resuscitate in mere minutes as well as allowing some huge chunks of it to grow into entire separate creatures and take on lives of their own, which explained why two smaller Wither Storm can emerge alongside the original one. It means had Ivor's Wither Storm allowed itself to mutate several times with destructive weapons such as Formidi-Bombs whilst its Command Block remained intact, it would allow the Wither Storm to overrun the whole world (which fortunately never happened).
In spite of the God-like strength that it possesses, the Wither Storm can actually be destroyed for good, as it has a few weaknesses. It is true that it cannot withstand a Formidi-Bomb's explosion, and can be incapacitated by it, but using such a highly destructive weapon is not recommended as should it be blown into pieces with its Command Block still intact, the Wither Storm would just regenerate and split into three or more creatures. The first thing that can delay the creature's advance is the mutilation by Endermen. An Enderman's ability to dismantle and move blocks causes rapid and significant harm on the Wither Storm, and an entire horde is enough to keep harming it that it cannot regenerate. The only thing that can destroy the Wither Storm, as well as its brethren, is destroying the Command Block used to create it, with weapons that are enchanted with the same power with the Command Block itself being used in Story Mode.
The Wither Storm has another unique ability: its heads can pop out inside its body, as shown in A Block in a Hard Place when Jesse went inside the Wither Storm and two of its heads attacked him by popping out from the skin.
Summoning the Wither Storm[]
The Wither Storm can be created with the same materials and same fashion as a normal variant. The difference, however, is that the middle soul sand must be replaced with a Command Block that immediately functions as its heart. Once brought to life, the Wither Storm will at first have a typical Wither-like form, but once it assimilates any objects around it, it evolves into a floating behemoth with long, powerful tentacles, three heads, glowing purple eyes, and large teeth. At the end of episode 3, the failed attempt to destroy the Wither Storm caused it to evolve and separate into three pieces, two that bear resemblance to the original Wither Storm, and one with a giant head.
