First, you need to find a village with villagers living in it. This should be quite simple, as villages are one of the most commonly generated structures in Minecraft. You can simply venture in any direction and will eventually find a village.

Next, you will need a trident and apply a channeling enchantment. This will take the most amount of your time since it is a rare weapon. It has a 2.1% chance of generating as a Trial Chamber vault loot. Apart from that, you only have a 0.53125% chance of getting it from a Drowned Zombie in Java Edition.

After obtaining a trident, you need to apply a channeling enchantment on it, which can be obtained from a librarian villager or from an enchanting table.

2) Wait for rain or a thunderstorm

After finding a villager and a trident with channeling enchantment, you will have to wait for a thunderstorm. This can take a while since the weather in Minecraft is completely random.

Furthermore, a channeling trident will not work during rain in Java Edition, like it does on Bedrock. Hence, you will have to wait even longer.

3) Throw the trident at a villager during a rain or thunderstorm

When the weather is right, you must isolate one villager and attack it by throwing a trident with a channeling enchantment. This will cause the lightning to strike it and give you the advancement "Very Very Frightening".

After a villager is hit with a lightning strike, it will turn into a witch and become hostile. Hence, you will have to be careful right after getting this advancement.
