Consumable-based effects

So that's a lot of effects, right? Let's break it down into a few categories. First, let's look at each effect that can be easily obtained by consuming an item.

Article	Effect granted	Potion or food?
The Golden Apple	Absorption Regeneration	Food
Suspicious Stew (with Azure Bluet)	Blindness	Food

In theory, you just have to consume these potions and foods to obtain the mentioned effects. Of course, consuming all of them may take some time, so to solve this, we highly recommend using sprinkling potions. You can set up a dispensing system to spray all the potions on the ground, giving you all the effects at once.

From there, you'll just have to eat a pufferfish, golden apple and suspicious stew made with azure blue.

Lighthouse effects

Many of these effects can easily be achieved by standing next to a lighthouse. This achievement is best accomplished while standing in a designated area, so you should definitely install some beacons which provides the following effects.

• Hurry
• Jump Boost
• Regeneration
• Speed
• Resistance

Tips for achieving other effects

There are a handful of other effects that are a little harder to get. Below, you can check out helpful tips for getting each.

Effect(s)	tips
Bad Omen, Raid Omen and Trial Omen	These three are linked together. As such, you can kill a dust captain, who is in a village, and then make your way to a courtroom Trial Omen lasts at least 15 minutes, Bad Omen lasts 1 hour 40 minutes, and Raid Omen lasts 30 seconds after entering a village.
duct	Simply be near an active conduit (this applies underwater, but lasts 12 seconds after you leave the water)
The village hero	This is done simply by beating a raid and takes 40 minutes
The levitation	Only Shulkers give this effect, so you'll have to complete the difficult task of bringing a Shulker to the overworld.
Mining fatigue	Elder Guardians are in the Ocean Monuments; as such, you can either bring one or set up your own How Did We Get Here? station near a monument You just need to be within 50 blocks of the Elder Guardian
they wither	Wither can be obtained by touching a Wither Rose These drop when Wither kills a mob (flower drops from dead mob)
Grace of the Dolphin	Dolphins live in the ocean, so you will have to find one and most likely capture them Fortunately, you can put a lead on a Dolphin and bring it wherever you complete this progress
Brilliant	You can set up a distributor to shoot a spectral arrow at you
Darkness	This can be hard to get as it comes from either the Warden or a naturally spawned Sculk Shrieker. To simplify this process, you can capture/transport a Warden

So with this in mind, one strategy would be to have a open area where the effects can be staged. This includes dispensers for drop potions and Spectral Arrow, as well as a Wither Rose, Dolphin, Shulker and Warden.

It is important to note that this will not be easy. There are several ways this can be done to streamline the process; you can find other other Minecrafters online who came up with a process that worked for them.

Overall, the biggest piece of advice we can give you is prepare ahead. How we got here is hard and it's not something you can decide to do on a whim. This will require a lot of preparation and you may need to do some trial runs.
