Quick answer: Get a full suit of Netherite armor

Previous advancement: Hidden in the Depths

How to get Cover Me in Debris

  1. Wear a full suit of netherite armor: helmet, chestplate, leggings and boots, all at once.
  2. That means 4 netherite ingots = 16 ancient debris + 16 gold ingots, plus 4 netherite upgrade smithing templates.
  3. Find netherite upgrade templates in bastion remnant chests - see our bastion guide for loot routes. Duplicate each template at a crafting table with 7 diamonds + 1 netherrack + the template, so one find is enough.
  4. Mine the ancient debris at Y=15 (beds or TNT), smelt to scrap, combine 4 scrap + 4 gold per ingot.
  5. Upgrade diamond armor at a smithing table: diamond piece + template + netherite ingot. Put the four pieces on and the challenge completes - worth 100 XP.

Tips

Upgrade armor you already enchanted: the smithing table keeps all enchantments, so there is no reason to make fresh diamond gear. If templates are your bottleneck, raid treasure bastions (the ones with the gold-block core) - they have the best chest loot.
