Shadow Herobrine's first appearance
While a Villager Knight was interrogating Forest Herobrine, Shadow Herobrine suddenly appeared behind a reporting villager scout, thrusting a gray obsidian rod towards Forest Herobrine, which pierced through the scout and the knight. Suddenly, a large cluster of gray obsidian burst out of the herobrine's body, killing all nearby villagers in the area. Shadow Herobrine later patrolled around the village and, as he stood atop a house, found a villager in the blue robe. Realizing the villager wasn't the one targeted, Shadow Herobrine brutally impaled the villager on the head with obsidian rod, killing him.

Herobrine later finds one of Mustard's Golems chasing an cow. Shadow Herobrine instantly impales the golem and cow with obsidian. He then states that he has to pick off as many as possible (Mustard's golems) before he is detected.
Suddenly, Mustard appears from behind him and yells that he sees him. Shadow Herobrine then jumps at Mustard in an attempt to impale him with obsidian. After a bit of dialogue, two of Mustard's golems begin attacking Shadow Herobrine, but they are quickly overpowered by him. After some time, Shadow Herobrine runs off into a nearby forest in an attempt to lure and kill the golems and use their imobility to his advantage. He is at first succesful, and manages to defeat one of the golems and immobilize the other. Although, right after he imobilized the golem, the Corrupted Iron Golem appears behind him unknowingly and attacks him.
Shadow Herobrine is then knocked back to where Mustard was. Right after, the two Golems appear behind Shadow Herobrine. Mustard then creates two more Golems and orders all of the them to attack him. Suddenly, flying swords and tools strike the two Golems standing behind Shadow Herobrine. One is defeated and the Corrupted Golem manages to escape with the use of an enderpearl. The tools manipulator then appears, revealing himself to be Null.

Null then jumps down and begins attacking the Corrupted Golem while Shadow Herobrine fights one of the other Golems. Null quickly realizes that he is no match for the Corrupted Golem, and at one point is about to be punched by the Corrupted Golem, but is saved by Shadow Herobrine. Mustard, realizing that Shadow Herobrine and Null were much more powerful than he had expected, decided to do a "strategic retreat" , leaving the two golems behind to fight. Shadow Herobrine then tells Null that there are zombie squads scattered throughout the area, and to let Mustard waste his energy on them.
They then fight the two golems separately, and eventually are able to defeat one of them. Shadown Herobrine shortly after tells the Corrupted Golem to speak, to show him his consciousness. The Corrupted Golem then in a grunting voice, tells him that he has been programmed to maintain the preservation of his master and thus, he shall not let him pass. Shadow Herobrine then asks him if he is able to disobey his programming. The Corrupted Golem then tells him his.

Null replies with "understood" and jumps away. What happens right after between Shadow Herobrine and the Corrupted Golem is unknown, but both survive. Later, Shadow Herobrine finds Mustard standing by Joe the Pufferfish.

Shadow Herobrine ignores Joe and shoots obsidian at Mustard, which is then destroyed by an inflated Joe. Joe then knocks Shadow Herobrine away. Shadow Herobrine then gets up into a tree, and observes Joe, and wonders if he was the creature that had absorbed most of the power from the aquatic update. The Corrupted Golem then appears from above and knocks Shadow Herobrine out of the tree and begins running at him. The two then have a short fight before Shadow Herobrine decides to request energy from all nearby.

Joe decides to watch, and doesn't interfere with the two. After receiving the energy, Shadow Herobrine is able to gain the upper hand over the Corrupted Golem and at one point, is able to trap him with obsidian. He then pulls out a fiery eye of ender and yells "obsidian machine gun" and then like a machine gun, obsidian poles begin shooting out at the Corrupted Golem. The Corrupted Golem then uses his sword to break the obsidian and then blows the sword up, setting himself free. Shadow Herobrine shows that he is quite impressed. He then wonders what else Mustard hid in the Corrupted Golem. Later, Shadow Herobrine requests more energy reserves. Right after, three pink eyes of ender enter the Corrupted Golem, which instantly give him more power. The Corrupted Golem instantly pulls out a pink big sword, and begins spam striking at Shadow Herobrine, which overwhelms him. The Corrupted Golem then steps back equips a fiery wand. A fiery lazer is shot at Shadow Herobrine which hits him and causes an explosion.
