calamity-addon-talk

[quiet jacinth]

i mean i’m a glass cannon anyway

[near wedge]

Devourer of gods bossfight is stuck in my head

[quiet jacinth]

i’m running all menacing accessories

[near wedge]

literally replaying over and over

[south shore]

wait which one

[quiet jacinth]

rogue i think he was referring to

[frank mauve]

i was being sarcastic about summoner being the best class for inf dog

i dont think any class is worse than summoner at that stage

[quiet jacinth]

oh

lmao

[frank mauve]

[honest plank]

i will not tolerate summoner slander

[quiet jacinth]

honestly this made me realize that the entire

pre polt-dog stage

is fucking ass

[frank mauve]

not slander if its true

[quiet jacinth]

SW is the only decent boss besides dog

[honest plank]

[quiet jacinth]

polt is so bad

duke sucks

ceaseless is bugged 50/50

signus not worth mentioning

[granite mulch]

i mean yeah obviously

[quiet jacinth]

my point was that for like every other class that wasn’t the case

which is interesting to me

[granite mulch]

summoner moment

[quiet jacinth]

either way, summoner is alright as a first time player

[granite mulch]

you could also use omega blue technically

[quiet jacinth]

i want to craft mirror of kalandra

it looks awesome

i also don’t know what’s best for yharon

but yeah

[granite mulch]

silva armor

and mirror of kalandra probably works

[quiet jacinth]

okay

thanks

[buoyant drum]

wait what difficulty, if its infernum polt i 100, no 1000000% agree

[frank mauve]

wait so evo has no cooldown with silva

u can do this for like 7 sec

[high cosmos]

does anyone know the best loadout for summoner avatar of emptiness

[granite mulch]

i dont get why people hate on that thing

its completely fine

[frank mauve]

inf polter is fine sometimes

[honest plank]

polter is just some bullshit

[frank mauve]

hes the best boss for tmelee

[south shore]

you have cadaverous carrion how could there possibly be a problem

[granite mulch]

what

why is it the best boss for true melee am i missing something

[frank mauve]

i mean yeah it gets a decent time but compared to other classes

[south shore]

monsoon....

ascension...

honestly it might clear rogue
rogue has good stuff but summoner still has a mountain of bullshit to fall back on

[frank mauve]

against inf dog?

[south shore]

what does rogue have that summoner cant at least match

[frank mauve]

rogue has the advantage of aiming at the head much more and spam purity builds

[buoyant drum]

infernum polter is the only one i despise, the other difficulties are fine

infernum old duke also sucks but thats another thing

[granite mulch]

oh yeah old duke is overhated honestly, its not that hard

[frank mauve]

inf od is fine

the only bad thing about him is that hes the size of a peanut

[granite mulch]

and unironically the dashing is fun

[buoyant drum]

i mean his theme is a banger tho

no doubt

[granite mulch]

especially if you use leviathan ambergris

[buoyant drum]

hes too old to be doin his job

[frank mauve]

u dont need ambergris or cinnamon roll for inf od

u can just ram dash 1 dash instead of the 2

since one of the dash can be dodged by simply going up or down

[south shore]

doesnt inf dog have less dr on the body

[buoyant drum]

ive seen some people say infernum prof guardians suck and i just stare at them

[south shore]

or am I misremembering

[granite mulch]

obviously you dont but its better if you use it lol

[frank mauve]

70 def and 92.5% dr for segments iirc

[buoyant drum]

whats an arguably bad fight for infernum in yalls opinion

[spiral jewel]

anyone know wich mod could be causing this issue?

[south shore]

hmmm
honestly with how much inf dog clumps I wouldnt be surprised if dreadmine can pull some bullshit even post nerf

[frank mauve]

oh yeah thats true

[south shore]

actually speaking of purity how does stratus in general play with that
galileo getting 100 starbursts faster than you can spend them

[spiral jewel]

it was most likely lights and shadows

[buoyant drum]

@frank mauve finished the main arena, you wanna see?

[frank mauve]

oh right i havent tried that

gotta try it when i can

[frank mauve]

yes sure

[magic pelican]

I just got back from my gfs house and I gotta go soon but idk how to improve this and Im STRUGGLING on Exo Mechs

[frank mauve]

yhrim gift

[magic pelican]

oh hi lowd

[frank mauve]

only wait for 2.1.3 to use yharim gift

hello

[light shadow]

so i figured out my issue with infernum yharon was that i had to stop being a bitch and actually invest in a high damage non-homing weapon so i could at least make it to the 2nd half of the fight faster and more often

[magic pelican]

so what should I replace it with? flash ring?

radiance?

[frank mauve]

someone ban

[honest plank]

girl

[frank mauve]

yeah

radiance is strong for no reason

[buoyant drum]

the arena is pretty big so ofc i cant just screenshot the whole thing, but this is how its laid out

[frank mauve]

are those painted with illuminant coating

[buoyant drum]

nope, but i had that idea

it kinda does look like it tho doesnt it

[frank mauve]

yeah but dont those honey station kinda get in the way

[buoyant drum]

oh theres platforms above them, you just cant see them

they kinda blend in with the wall

[frank mauve]

no like the blocks under it

do u ever run into them

[buoyant drum]

oh no

no i dont

[frank mauve]

skill overload 🤯

[honest plank]

im saving this as inspo

[buoyant drum]

the relic room at the bottom was the hardest part of the entire base

[frank mauve]

oh how does the entrance look like

[buoyant drum]

hold on lemme make it daytime rq

[eager prawn]

i`ll just leave this here

[buoyant drum]

imma put some more lights in but thats pretty much how you enter

i even got a spiral staircase at the bottom half

[plucky gulch]

The Golfer and the Zoologist are siblings.
The Zoologist strikes me as... dim.

[eager prawn]

started hardmode strong

[buoyant drum]

if the image decides to load i can see what it is 😭

[buoyant drum]

there it is

stellar cannon already? W

[eager prawn]

first enemy i killed dropped it

[buoyant drum]

isnt it usually after aureus? unless they changed something

[frank mauve]

that second ss looks so good compared to only seeing it from the map

[spiral jewel]

man im rusty

im not able to get to the second part of the yharon fight in infernum

[buoyant drum]

fr

[grim swallow]

Who's the first big roadblock of infernum hard mode no hit

Cal shadow or twina

[buoyant drum]

cal shadow, infernum twins actually arent even bad. i'd argue them to be the easiest out of the 3

imo theyre also the most fun out of the 3 mechs

[gloomy apex]

Hmm. So auric landmines list 40k damage

They do a bit more than 40k

Need a better homing weapon than the pack

[grim swallow]

Well idk how to do either desp

Buti I'll get ti twins later

Still have AS to do

[smoky dock]

i think she just has brain damage from the curse

[gloomy apex]

Is norfleet a good choice?

Oh yeah here's my crabulon arena lol

[rocky harbor]

xd

[frank mauve]

with silva revive evolution combo u can deal millions

[spiral jewel]

question, if i have Wrath of the Machines and Infernum active, wich exo fight would i see?

[frank mauve]

wrath

[spiral jewel]

i have no idea what happened but i got to like phase 2 of the wrath exos (when the twins and hades attack together)

this is fun

[buoyant drum]

you DID drain the sunken sea a bit you werent kidding

[gloomy apex]

Its actually refilled itself over the course of the run

That tunnel leading to the arena was empty of water when I fought crabulon

Huh

Dashing over the mine gets you beyond the initial blast

And the lightning effect doesnt hurt the player

[spiral jewel]

im playing rogue only, wich one of this weapons is better for exos?

[frank mauve]

prolly seraphim

[fiery mango]

i dont use Dreamtastic out of principle

[quiet jacinth]

inf

i had an easier time with death polt than inf polt

[spiral jewel]

i mean, i am playing infernum (wrath of the machines in this case

[frank mauve]

death polt isnt real

[quiet jacinth]

huh

[fading dove]

i always heard people say that unrelenting torment fucking sucks but no its better than other catalyst whips and kscope on yharon

[rocky harbor]

why is deerclops harder than skeletron in infernum xd?

[south shore]

its a rite of passage for any difficulty mod to randomly put deerclops on crack

[atomic locust]

how does one do wotg in multiplayer bc ive seen videos of it but like i cant find something that actually lets you do it or tells you how to do it

[night fractal]

I will keep this in mind for roots

Actually roots might not even change deerclops besides committing brutal murder of shadow hands in expert

[bold nimbus]

YES!

[elder nebula]

please

[bold nimbus]

Incredible how Deerclops is the only vanilla boss to be made worse in higher difficulties.

[untold palm]

what should i change for infernum yharon

[bold nimbus]

I mean, except for Moon Lord, because I have to fight Moon Lord for longer.

[elder nebula]

amalgam over sponge imo

[untold palm]

hmmm

true

[rancid parcel]

is phoenix flame barrage or aetherflux cannon better for exo mechs

rn im using phoenix flame barrage but the class setup on the wiki says aetherflux is better

[floral epoch]

reaper tooth necklace to ambrosia ampoule/eye of golem/arc flash ring

[fading dove]

eye of madness and illusioner's reverie if infernum
idk i think void vortex for pre-scal exos in souls dlc

[floral epoch]

and yea amalgam to sponge

[frank mauve]

angel treads

if ur gonna use boots at least upgrade em

[untold palm]

the other upgrades have wings and i think no other buffs

also the flight time on them suck

[frank mauve]

u can turn off the wings and use them as normal boots

[untold palm]

oh

wait really

oh

hmm

i guess they WOULD look cooler...

[frank mauve]

or id recommend just not wasting a slot on boots

[quiet jacinth]

hmm

fearmonger or silva guys

i did silva last time on my mage run i might try fearmonger this time

[fading dove]

fearmogger

[frank mauve]

then u cant die

[rancid parcel]

3rd try exo mechs w/ my friend on infernum LMAOOO

[reef bolt]

I'm about to finish base calamity for the first time (On exo mechs), what mods should I try out for my next run? Originally planning to do WotG but I'm open for suggestions lmao

I'm also gonna try some like calamity revamped

[bold nimbus]

I personally cannot recommend Infernum enough.

[elder nebula]

install wrath of the machines on your current run

basecal exos are abysmal dogshit

[spiral jewel]

whats the best way to doge ares downward slash on wrath of the machines?

like, sometimes i avoid it and sometimes i just take the hit anyways

like, idk if ram dashing is the way

[gloomy apex]

oh pets can set off landmines how fun

[reef bolt]

Ik i sound like a coward lol but how much harder does it make the fight? I'm still struggling on the last phase, closest I got was 0.9% HP left..

[elder nebula]

substantially easier imo

[reef bolt]

alr thx

cus i saw the first image and it looks cool as hell but I dont wanna spend the rest of my weekend tryna beat them lol

[quiet jacinth]

@fading dove @frank mauve if mirror of kalandra takes 5 slots, what do you guys recommend to fill the other 6 i have

im still missing a few accessories so ill prob have more space to fill than 6

[frank mauve]

sirius and void marionette ig

[rancid parcel]

how the hell do i shimmer yharon soul fragments i cant drop it in because it floats

[fading dove]

shimmer is the crafting station

[rancid parcel]

What

[manic pumice]

you need to be standing near shimmer i guess

[fading dove]

like a workbench

[manic pumice]

and then you can craft it

[rancid parcel]

oh my god

[smoky dock]

dig down next to the shimmer and then throw it through a wall

[young token]

about to fight queen slime what can I change?

[plucky gulch]

Hol' up. I didn't even challenge Draedon yet. Why is this playing near my Magic Storage system?

[untold palm]

just beat yharon

i expected him to revive a 3rd time

but he was actually easy

once a fraud always a fraud ig

[young token]

first time I beat yharon was with a mage build and I had like 2 revives one from permaforsts accesory the other from silvas armor + the wings

[frank mauve]

yeah he got no health poor guy

[young token]

he would kill me the first time and use the silva revive which is busted it gave me like 8 sec of I frames and the other revive wasnt always garented cuz it freezes u in place for 3 sec

WHY IS QUEEN SLIME GOING SUPER SAYIAN!?

[spiral jewel]

Okey, im just tired of rogue, im going to go melee cause im enjoying the wrath of the mechs exos, im just not having fun with the rogue weapons

[young token]

am doing a rogue run rn I wanted to try it as almost all the weapons/items are all gonna be new and I like the idea of a class centered around random bullshit go

[spiral jewel]

Its fun im just burned out

[frank mauve]

what weapon

[young token]

but sadly I cant do damage without slaving myself to the sealth strike mechanic

[spiral jewel]

I never before did an infernum run that got to the exos

[spiral jewel]

I was using seraphin

[frank mauve]

wdym

[spiral jewel]

And the book infernum adds

[young token]

if am not using stealth stealth strike I do no damage

[frank mauve]

that book lowk mid

spam builds?

theyre lowk better than stealth imo

[young token]

are u sure? even at the my stage of the game ( pre queen slime)

[frank mauve]

oh nah u can go stealth with blast barrel

[young token]

does no damage if it doesnt explode and it only explodes after rolling abit

and queen slime is almost always in the air

[frank mauve]

it doesnt do dmg mid air?

[young token]

am using shinobi blade

[young token]

if the barrel doesnt explode sadly no

[frank mauve]

then uhh

burning strife

pretty good i use it for mechs if i dont do cryo

[young token]

never heard of it will look it up

[frank mauve]

or do cryogen first and get ice stars/kelvin catalyst

[young token]

I dont think I can beat cyrogen if I cant beat queen slime yet

[frank mauve]

ur using titan heart armor aswell?

[young token]

no still with the gel armor

was planning on getting assasin armor from queen slime

[frank mauve]

titan heart is much better

it has free kb immunity aswell

saves up a lot

[plucky gulch]

So,I haven't even called Draedon yet. Why is Master's Forge playing near my Magic Storage system?

[elder nebula]

it should only play once you have draedon's forge

[plucky gulch]

It started playing after I beat Calamitas.

[elder nebula]

hm

might be crucible of the cosmos

[plucky gulch]

Nope.

[frank mauve]

imagine its wotg (if u have it)

[plucky gulch]

I had that for a very long while.

[elder nebula]

try asking in the vcmm server

[plucky gulch]

Only addons for Calamity I run are Infernum,Calamity's Vanities,the music mods,and Fargo's DLC.

I turn off Eternity Mode and Eternity Mode Changes when I'm not fighting a Fargo's boss.

[gloomy apex]

Pain and suffering on the exo-mechs front

Just sticking to summoner, and while I am getting better the exotwins continue to give me hell

[plucky gulch]

Does Ares still clamp onto you?

[smoky dock]

in basecal yes

afaik

[plucky gulch]

As in,sticks perfectly above you,and perfectly matches your speed,like Anahita does with Heart of the Elements/Pearl of Enthrallment?

[gloomy apex]

I just need to keep my Silva rez until the final phase and I should be able to survive it

[smoky dock]

yeah, I know

I just never played basecal

[gloomy apex]

Just. lost it before the second mech showed up. oops.

[smoky dock]

[frank mauve]

not perfectly

the accel was reduced

[gloomy apex]

https://youtu.be/XezT8rxcmlI

[frank mauve]

need to work on those circling skills

[gloomy apex]

Yeah I know.

Fastest I've killed Thanatos yet though

[floral epoch]

how are you healing that fast

[young token]

what are the best rogue wings for pre mech?

[gloomy apex]

Eye of magnus, radiance,

So, lifesteal, permanent honey, extra 5HP/s when at low health

[frank mauve]

where chalice 😿

[smoky dock]

defensive setups at that stage are 75% regeneration

the other 25% is Spoongue

🧽

[gloomy apex]

Given how much I get hit I would be bleeding out constantly

[deft sierra]

this supposed to be the hardest boss? 🥱

calamitas

clone

[frank mauve]

with that regeneration not running chalice is a mistake tbh

[young token]

had us in the first half

[gloomy apex]

True

[frank mauve]

only 6 hits damn

ur a pro

[gloomy apex]

I'll throw the accessory list up after I eat something to be judged accordingly

[plucky gulch]

Maybe... not try to facetank?

[deft sierra]

im not facetanking im just bad

and i did beat her

with charm of myth abuse

[frank mauve]

what matters is that u beat her

[plucky gulch]

Probably expectedly,Calamitas is the one boss giving me the most grief.
For now.
I suspect the Exo Mechs will present a similar issue.
And it's always her desperation phase that gets me.

Eeh. I'm living the glass cannon life. It brought me this deep. I'll see it to the end.

[frank mauve]

exos are still free

[plucky gulch]

Counterpoint: I never once fought the Exo Mechs,but I've fought Calamitas several times.

[magic pelican]

Exos are free if u have 5000 hours like you

[plucky gulch]

All I'm going into the Exo Mechs fight with is what I've read.

[supple mica]

Magic Storage and VCMM is progression based rather than station based.

Defeating Exos or Scal will trigger the final phase of the workshop theme.

[plucky gulch]

Aah.

[frank mauve]

youre mage, one of the strongest class for lategame infernum

[frank mauve]

i dont even have that much hours tbf

[quiet jacinth]

whip out the reverie pal

[deft sierra]

could i make my setup better for plantera

shes the one boss that kinda scares me

[frank mauve]

yeah much better even

[deft sierra]

tell me tell me

[plucky gulch]

Okay,I'll admit that I have many hours in Terraria. But a few other games has it licked in playtime.

[smoky dock]

Drop Turtle armor for Squire if you want survivability

Drop Turtle armor for Squire if you want damage

Fairy Boots are an AWESOME defensive accessory so I’d highly advise dropping Angel Treads for them

[elder nebula]

better than hallowed??

[smoky dock]

Yeah you get a gazillion DEF and 2 HP/s

[granite mulch]

haha get it because the first part of stained brutal calamity is grief

[deft sierra]

mm i should exploit sentries then

just the archmage one?

[smoky dock]

Any sentry works

Yep

[deft sierra]

i see

[granite mulch]

exos are honestly not that bad i got to the desperation phase in around 20 attempts

[magic pelican]

well how many is it them

[smoky dock]

Ideally you try to get Plantera to sit on top of it

[magic pelican]

then

[smoky dock]

Ichor is also important

[granite mulch]

how do you even have that many hours in elden ring lol

[plucky gulch]

Constant new runs when a new build idea tickles my fancy.

[frank mauve]

like above 1k or something i dont remember

i have hours on other platforms aswell

[granite mulch]

fair

[plucky gulch]

The Elden Ring Reforged mod also helps,since buildcraft is one of the core pillars there.

[granite mulch]

i have like 300 hours in hk half of that is nohitting

and from the nohitting 50% was absrad

seriously absrad took like 2 months while everything else was done in like 2 weeks

[magic pelican]

absolute radiance mentioned

[granite mulch]

omg are we gonna fight tha sun?!?!?!

[magic pelican]

the sun except every attack does 4 masks

[granite mulch]

oh yeah ascended was hard enough

[magic pelican]

I could never beat Radiant

[granite mulch]

its basically radiant except you can tank 1 hit

or 2 if you dont overcharm

[plucky gulch]

I couldn't even do base Pantheon of Hallownest.

[magic pelican]

never did overccharm tbh

[granite mulch]

the 4th phase gave me trauma

😭

[magic pelican]

p3 was actually the worst for me

took me

a solid

100 hours to get past sly

[granite mulch]

p3 was also really bad for me

[magic pelican]

Like Vessel was so easy compared to him for some reason

[granite mulch]

YEAH

also

never fight gpz before doing p5

most of my p5 deaths were gpz lol

[magic pelican]

I would no hit all of p3 and then sly would come and hed kill me

lik

like

how

[magic pelican]

ugh gpz

hate

hate that fight

[granite mulch]

sly is honestly so hard if you see it the first time but its fine if you learned it

nohitting didnt take that long

[plucky gulch]

Sly is Yoda with the Fume Ultra Greatsword.

[granite mulch]

same as markoth for some reason. i thought after ascendant took me forever radiant is the hardest boss in the game

it took less than an hour for some reason and it was easier than oro and mato lmao

[rocky harbor]

i need more addons for calamity melee :v

[smoky dock]

Uhhhh

You probably won’t find any good ones

What’re you looking for?

[magic pelican]

Radiant Markoth is my greatest achievement for hollow knight, because I could never beat radiant abs rad

[smoky dock]

You could also just use the weapons and equipment that you haven’t used yet. Some of it is a lot of fun

[granite mulch]

gg, i have no idea how i even beat markoth maybe i just got lucky

[magic pelican]

Yeah it was like my 5th attempt and I fluked it

never done it again

[granite mulch]

where are you rn?

[granite mulch]

i got close once but idk why i should do that again so yeah

[rocky harbor]

post skely

[granite mulch]

auger or goldplume spear for slime god

i guess

[magic pelican]

and its always like you die to the fucking shields on their way back in instead of any of his actual attacks, because they come from off screen for some fucking reason

[granite mulch]

he also just moves so awkward

oh yeah did you do radiant uumuu

thats the worst thing ever i swear

[magic pelican]

The fight was so boring I genuinely didn't

I was like

this isn't worth my time

[granite mulch]

it wasnt boring it was just hard and annoying

[magic pelican]

well thats what made it boring

it was tedious

[granite mulch]

fair

[magic pelican]

you miss the jelly and it just kills oyu

you

almost nothing you can do about it since it hits you at mach 40

[granite mulch]

its basically forced dream wielder spell twister

[magic pelican]

yeah bc without dream wielder you cant get any fucking soul

[blissful birch]

is it not possible to get tissue samples without killing BoC in infernum

[granite mulch]

it was always not possible iirc

[magic pelican]

I mean, if you killed EoW then you can transform them

[blissful birch]

creepers drop tissue samples

[magic pelican]

but if its a crimson then they drop after

the fight

[granite mulch]

creepers are invincible in brain fight

[magic pelican]

correct

[blissful birch]

in infernum yes

[magic pelican]

your only target is BoC

[granite mulch]

yeah

[blissful birch]

okay damn that sucks

[granite mulch]

why

[blissful birch]

im just at a point where i dont know how to progress that well

but my weapons seem too weak

[granite mulch]

uh which class

[magic pelican]

beat BoC for starters

what class

yeah

[blissful birch]

melee

[granite mulch]

uh wait

[magic pelican]

sausage maker full warding murks BoC

[granite mulch]

windblade

[magic pelican]

or wait

[granite mulch]

and full warding yeah

[blissful birch]

Currently have Thorium Spear, Blade of grass, Seashine sword and Starfury

[magic pelican]

thats post

[blissful birch]

playing ragnarok

[smoky dock]

saysage maker is post-evil2

[magic pelican]

Hmmmm

yeah yeah

[granite mulch]

seashine sword could work

[smoky dock]

prior to that you have teardrop cleaver, or ideally basher

rotted fork

[blissful birch]

needs aerialite

[smoky dock]

wulfrum screwdriver if you’re in a rush

[magic pelican]

Rotted fork helps keep him away

[granite mulch]

yeah i forgot

[magic pelican]

I think

[smoky dock]

sahara slicers abd terragrim are great

lastly uhhh

[granite mulch]

ngl i completely forgot what i used for boc

[smoky dock]

Volcango if you know how it Volcan-goes

[blissful birch]

volcano? post BoC

[granite mulch]

shimmer skip or smth

[magic pelican]

Is smoking comet possible pre brain

[granite mulch]

i think

[smoky dock]

It’s possible to obtain eaelier

[blissful birch]

how

[magic pelican]

Oh shit do you have Urchin mace? that shit shredded BoC

[smoky dock]

Steal it from Draedon

Er, steal the Hellstone to make a Molten Pickaxe

Shimmer the Red Lab Locator

[gloomy apex]

Wings of rebirth
Profane soul artifact
Radiance
Nucleogenesis
Asgardian aegis
Dark Sun ring
And there's some other thing in here I cant remeber off the top of my head.

[smoky dock]

is it spoonge

[gloomy apex]

It is not sponge

[smoky dock]

WHAAAA

is it arc flash ring

[gloomy apex]

Oh right. Reaper tooth

[maiden cobalt]

double shield stack ....

[magic pelican]

Ah fuck i need to fight the worm

[smoky dock]

oh GROSSSSS

[maiden cobalt]

this seems inoffensive

[gloomy apex]

Ram dashing is good for the bones

[smoky dock]

eugh stinky FISH TEETH????

[maiden cobalt]

have uhh

[smoky dock]

Use arc flash ring you won’t regret it

[maiden cobalt]

have radiance and asgardian in the same area (keep one in vanity) and swap between them

radiance most time and aegis when you need it

[gloomy apex]

Ooh that's an idea

[maiden cobalt]

then have Sponge in the spare slot

[gloomy apex]

Yeah apart from Thanatos and occasionally Ares i shouldnt need the aegis

[maiden cobalt]

sponge saved my eight kids and paid all my debts its awesome

[magic pelican]

wait so new update when I try to get the terminus does it light up the abyss or do I just lose

[maiden cobalt]

i believe you just gotta lock in

put some abyss torches

[magic pelican]

wtf are abyss torches

[granite mulch]

technically you dont even need it for thanatos

[gloomy apex]

Kelp torches

[granite mulch]

but its really recommended as i mean

thanatos is inconsistent af

[gloomy apex]

DoG hardwired my brain i see worm I ram dash face

[maiden cobalt]

either you coil it and melt it or you need to dash out

[tawdry warren]

Im trying to play Wrath of the Gods but Solyn's camp didnt spawn with anything in it and still doesnt spawn if i reset the flagpole how do I fix this?

[maiden cobalt]

move it around a bit

[junior copper]

is there a page for where/how to get what books for our friend

[maiden cobalt]

yeah

WotG wiki

[junior copper]

i lwk forgot most mods have a full deal

[gloomy apex]

Using the profane soul artifact for the bonus summon slot, brining me to 16

Gives me one warlock fist

[magic pelican]

you think torch gods favor will auto make it kelp torches

[gloomy apex]

Would it be better to swap it for the sponge entirely?

[weary harness]

theres no marker to the ice mansion thingy and solyn not there either anyone know where i can find it

[gloomy apex]

Oh, also, not sure if its normal but, realizing lunatic cultists final stand is beaten by standing beneath him and not moving is wild

Also guess who spent about an hour total farming bloodstones without realizing ravager drops them at this point in the game

[smoky dock]

lmao it’s so funny, right???

it’s consistent enough for nohits

[rare atlas]

Yeah I don't think the game ever says Ravager will get new drops.

[granite mulch]

real

[untold palm]

wait what he does

[granite mulch]

yeah

[untold palm]

crap

[granite mulch]

post providence

[quiet jacinth]

post prov

via fleshy geode

[granite mulch]

why does ravager out of all bosses have so good drops

[quiet jacinth]

hes so boring lol

[magic pelican]

Wait the worm was easy

how is that post Yharon

[gloomy apex]

Eidolon is just about patterns

[past plinth]

if youre talking about primordial then yea it really is

[gloomy apex]

Had a summon slap the four dudes out front and i just stood still beneath him the whole fight. Took like, one fireball of damage and then it was on to last stand

[past plinth]

i did that guy pre-yharon and then had a hard carry mage weapon for him lol

[smoky dock]

Standing still lowkey busted

[gloomy apex]

Halibut + hyperious bullets is the fastest way to tank the game speed

[smoky dock]

I wonder how many bosses are possible to do motionless (without advanced setups because i cant be fucked to engineer those)

[past plinth]

for me its every boss cuz i got no motion

[gloomy apex]

Ive been working on GFB revenge moonlord stationary

Takes a setup

But, got most of the way through

[past plinth]

but i can imagine most of pre-hardmode except probably wall of flesh and skeletron are possible to do standing still

[smoky dock]

oh yeah wof is 100% not happening

outside of some stupid overpowered 0:10 killtime setup

or maybe relying on knockback for extra time but i don’t know how to get that to happen

[novel echo]

Why terminus is not on the abyss? I gave a try for primordial wyrm infernum and i died, now terminus is not spawn and i cant spawn primordial wyrm

[gloomy apex]

Knockback works on WoF?

Terminus should be buried in the gravel in the same spot as before

Try reloading the world

[granite mulch]

ikr

yharon was 144 wyrm was 22 attempts

[granite mulch]

its a known bug. get cheatsheet or smth and search for "evoking searune"

[smoky dock]

Oh no I meant like, ME getting knocked back

[blissful birch]

what armor do i use pre BoC

currently using thorium im really not sure if theres anything better

[smoky dock]

There are a ton of options

Really all of them are good and none of them are bad

Platinum is always fantastic and never wrong

Tin has appreciable offensive bonuses

Copper can potentially do a bunch

Lead’s knockback immunity is very valuable

Silver is a great generalist set that’s easier to get than Platinum

Jungle is fantastic for al of pre hardmode

Victide requires DS to be defeated but it’s also a great generalist set

[plucky gulch]

1) Is the top of this wide enough for fighting Infernum's Exo Mechs? Each engine on the bottom is 40 blocks apart.
2) Is this high enough for the NPCs below to be safe from collateral damage?

[maiden cobalt]

your npcs are getting finangled no matter what you do

[steady bough]

when is mining astral ore possible on infernum?

[plucky gulch]

Could always fight here. Nearest NPC dwellings included for scale. Top bounds to ground level.

[plucky gulch]

Same as base Calamity: Kill Astrum Deus.

[dense ocean]

I presume the same time it's normally available.

After beating Astrum Deus.

[steady bough]

just defeated yahron and it still only drops starblight soot

[dense ocean]

That's because Yharon is not Astrum Deus.

[plucky gulch]

In what world does Yharon,the Resplendent Phoenix,look or sound like Astrum Deus?

[dense ocean]

If you forget your glasses, mayhaps.

[steady bough]

if i killed yharon i figured it would be clear i also killed astrum

but alright

[dense ocean]

Did you kill Astrum DEUS or Astrum AUREUS?

[steady bough]

appreciate it anyway 🙂

[plucky gulch]

If you did not kill Astrum Deus,then Astral Ore is not available to you.
And Astrum Deus is not Astrum Aureus.

[plucky gulch]

It doesn't matter if you can kill the Exo Mechs in less than a minute,if you don't kill Astrum Deus,you don't get Astral Ore.

Hmm. Alright. And show us what happens when you mine Astral Ore.

Oh,wait. There's an asterisk there.

That means you have Progression Mode on with Boss Checklist,and you manually checked the boss off.

Get a Titan Heart and fight the worm.

[dense ocean]

Anyway, this has been fuel for the 'one of the Astrum bosses have to be renamed' fire.

[steady bough]

its prob bugged

i even have the relic

[plucky gulch]

They're distinct enough,if you bother to read.

[magic pelican]

dawg

[magic pelican]

how did you have 144 on yharon T-T

incredible at dog

but ahh at yharon ig

[novel echo]

Why did the Calamity bosses stop counting as defeated?

[steady bough]

yeah i also got that at some point

[magic pelican]

is the mod up to date?

[steady bough]

thats gotta be the reason it shows like i manually checked them btw

[novel echo]

Perhaps the same thing happened to you as to me, and you'll have to defeat the bosses again

[dense ocean]

Boss Checklist issue.

[novel echo]

I have an item that only works after defeating the exo mechs and supreme witch calamitas

and doesnt work

[dense ocean]

Yeah, it's a boss checklist issue.

[novel echo]

any way to fix it? or i have to defeat every calamity boss again?

[dense ocean]

Yeah.

Or use some other mod to manually mark them as defeated.

[steady bough]

hmm ill try that and let u know

[magic pelican]

I mean, good thing you have endgame gear lol

[steady bough]

yeah its actually that

just beat deus again

and its minerable now

[plucky gulch]

I... might've gotten a sub-minute TtK on the Exo Mechs...

[magic pelican]

Dawg

[plucky gulch]

Also,from the roof of my home,my NPCs were untouched.

[magic pelican]

on tier?

[plucky gulch]

With an Oblated Mythical Illusioner's Reverie.

And Lilies of Finality.

[woven rune]

@frank mauve got back to my pc today and tried it

Devil's Devastation and Hyperius Bullets are nuts

[gloomy apex]

Alright chat, how we lookin

15 summon slots

It is so weird not having a dash right now

[dense ocean]

Psst, you do.

[plucky gulch]

Cynosure,hung up in my living quarters on an echo coated item frame.

[frank mauve]

what the killtime looking like 👀

[gloomy apex]

Ok I have the basic dash which is good for changing directions

but you know what I mean

[woven rune]

not great but im also not great at using Devil's, wasn't playing very agressive, etc

think it was like 1:45 which for a passive run without rippers is solid

every big hit absolutely chunked him down it was so funny

Could see the Hyperius blast adding like 50k damage 😭

[gloomy apex]

Just need better circling in the first phase and I think I'll have the fight secured though

[frank mauve]

thats real solid wth

[magic pelican]

How does one turn off frameskip

[frank mauve]

alsonwait

@woven rune this is gilded proboscis against inf yharon😭😭

[woven rune]

brother 😭

I've gotten worse times with on tier weapons

[woven rune]

no like deadass for my build and how passive I was playing its actually really good

[magic pelican]

found it

lol

[woven rune]

nice

[frank mauve]

yeah with slow and hard hitting weapons its genuinely a 2x dmg for free

[frank mauve]

yeah happened to me aswell

[woven rune]

its genuinely absurd

have yet to try the Guardians but its still ridiculous from my testing

[frank mauve]

someone tried convincing me that hyperius doesnt double ur dmg

[woven rune]

For a lot of weapons it probably doesn't

But anything that hits big? 💀

[gloomy apex]

mm

shield

[frank mauve]

i also specifically said slow and hard hitting weapons

[woven rune]

ah

in that case they just have not tried it LOL

[frank mauve]

like this is nuts

[woven rune]

yeah wtf 😭

[frank mauve]

i also tried using gilded for scal but gave up

theorically should be a ≈5min kt

[woven rune]

I lowk might have blundered every run since 2.1 so far cause I'm finally trying out defensive prefixes and they're still really good idk

[young token]

I finally beat queen slime

after 82 attempts

[frank mauve]

i fw armored and invi tbh

[woven rune]

like thats only a couple seconds slower than what I would've gotten with full lucky and this isnt even really a speedkill

[woven rune]

Armored seems meh to me but maybe its my build

[frank mauve]

yeah i got 1:10 with a mage full defense loadout 😭

[woven rune]

Compared the stats between armored and warding and warding seems better

[gloomy apex]

Does tbe Nebulous core still trigger if the Silva armor bonus is on cooldown

[frank mauve]

yes

[woven rune]

14 defense is prob better than 2% dr right

[gloomy apex]

Good its staying in vanity until the final phase then

[woven rune]

idk

[frank mauve]

i mainly use armored between provi and dog

idk y it just feels right

[woven rune]

fair

Im gonna try a new run and go like

[frank mauve]

usually its like hard prehm, warding most of the time and invi post dog

[woven rune]

Hard for pre-hm, Warding for most of hm, then like Invigorating once I get Ampoule and shit

[woven rune]

valid

[frank mauve]

invi with chalice 🤑

[woven rune]

so nice

and moonshine too probably idk

[frank mauve]

havent experimented with moonshine too much tbh

[woven rune]

life regen scales with max hp right

so the extra 33% hp should buff your regen and survivability as long as you're not getting hit super often

[gloomy apex]

Well, getting better at not eating shit during the start of the fight

[woven rune]

I think I get like 56 when full lucky so this is barely any different wow

[shut basin]

attempt 134 on dog

maybe i should switch back to omega blue

[gloomy apex]

Yeah it worked better for me

You just dont get the time for regen to kick in proper I found

[shut basin]

omega blue works really well but the thing is i always forget to use the ability

by the time i use the ability hes doing the laser attack

and from what ive seen the tentacles just ignore them??? or do less healing

[gloomy apex]

Better to pop it during his rush attacks

They'll work during the start of phase 3

Absolutely saved me during then

[shut basin]

farthest ive gone so far was the grid laser attack

idk if thats just me being ass or

[gloomy apex]

Down to 11 hp and bam, omega blue ability pop and im at full hp at the end of the fight

[spiral jewel]

Get the space car keys

[gloomy apex]

Witch broom superior

[shut basin]

bro

[spiral jewel]

Thats what i did for the laser wall

[shut basin]

i use brimrose

LOL

[gloomy apex]

Easier to see your legs

[shut basin]

brimrose solos both

[spiral jewel]

The broom has been nerfed since 1.4.3

[gloomy apex]

And? You ain't using it to move fast

[frank mauve]

honestly yeah as long as the defense dmg recovers its just an upside

[woven rune]

I can't really think of many bosses I get combod by consistently so surely it just helps

Only problem might be braindead true melee bullshit though idk

[gloomy apex]

Current max life regen while moving 20.5 at full hp

I am here to win tonight

[plucky gulch]

And having finished Infernum...
Nifty boss changes. Nifty Abyss changes,for the most part.
But entirely not worth the interoperability issues.
All in all,it was a fun one-time thing,but it'll never be my normal way to play Calamity.

[gloomy apex]

Infernum ceaseless was a joke of a fight

Like, how do you make it easier

[plucky gulch]

By making it immobile for 2/3 of the fight.

[fluid flax]

my making it

[plucky gulch]

I don't look at my keyboard.

[gloomy apex]

How tf was polterghast more projectile intense

No-hit would have said attempt 1 if it didnt count every time you stepped near the room as an attempt

[frank mauve]

deific amulet could help alot even at that point

[woven rune]

oh true

forgot about Deific Amulet cause I never use it 💯 🔥

[plucky gulch]

So. I've disabled Infernum. And having played though Calamity heaps of times (Admittedly,before the Exo Mechs got implemented) and Infernum just now... what Calamity addons would you suggest for some spice? Ideally,ones that are neutral with Fargo's.

[frank mauve]

i also ran a tarragon + cosmic discharge build against yharon and got 2min its funny as hell

just pop the set bonus and stand inside him

[woven rune]

hell yeah

[gloomy apex]

AUGH

I WAS SO CLOSE

How long does the nuke phase last

[fading dove]

iirc pbg's nuke takes like 10 seconds to assemble

[gloomy apex]

Exo mechs

[fading dove]

uhhh

i think 6 seconds to get away on maso

or is it 5

im not super sure about precise timings

[gloomy apex]

It managed to last long enough on infernum to burn through both nebula rez and silva

[fading dove]

inf ares drops the gauss nuke for a plasma cannon what

[gloomy apex]

The twins MaD last stand

[fading dove]

oh inf hunters desp

[gloomy apex]

Yeah

[fading dove]

or thermonuclear blitz as the big orb is called

not a nuke

i wouldn't call a reactor a nuke

oh right i remember timing it from a nohit i watched

uhhhhhh

1990

it lasts 1990 ticks

thana's desp is indefinite until you actually kill it

and ares' is

3262

[gloomy apex]

33 SECONDS OF THOSE TWO DASHING???

[fading dove]

oh wait thats with the first part too

[gloomy apex]

Oh

[fading dove]

first part can be cut short if you hurt them enough

[gloomy apex]

Yeah first part is when they regen to 50% right

[fading dove]

they immediately go to thermonuclear blitz if they reach 0hp during the normal attack part of it

[gloomy apex]

Ah good to know

[fading dove]

though that requires an absurd amount of damage

[gloomy apex]

Oh good god. I checked the timing.

If it's 33 seconds from when they start the attack

I WAS RIGHT THERE

[fading dove]

fuckkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

[frank mauve]

twins dsp is the perfect embodiment of running away

[gloomy apex]

Died with 2 seconds left on the clock

victory is within reach

[plucky gulch]

Touch the untouchable,break the unbreakable!
Row,row! Fight the powah!
Do the impossible,see the invisible!
Row,row! Fight the powah!

[gloomy apex]

I also dont have the godslayer dash because its the catalyst auric Tesla+ armor

That would've been so helpful to have

Actually, since its just running away, I could slap a second loadout purely for running and tanking the phase

[plucky gulch]

Holy fucking bitrate.
Calamity would be an absolute shitshow to stream.

[light shadow]

hey why does infernum yharon suck ass and why is it after the best boss in the mod

[maiden cobalt]

we love dashslop

whats your gear

[gloomy apex]

Oh the bitrate is just the windows clip editor being garbage

[light shadow]

well i beat it

[maiden cobalt]

oh ic

get ready for some bangers

[gloomy apex]

I didnt want to load up DaVinci just to check the timing

[plucky gulch]

So,anybody got any suggestions for me?

[light shadow]

i used The Pack with surviability spam and full hard

[maiden cobalt]

calamity community remix

do it entirely by itself

[light shadow]

god i love survivability accessories and reforges carrying me through the entire mod

[maiden cobalt]

(like with qol or whatever)

[light shadow]

thank god they buffed face tanking so hard

[craggy basin]

800 damage on crit preboss is certainly a number

Them sheaths from thorium are diabolical

[light shadow]

oh damn water worm is next

so doesnt that mean im -1 on an accessory slot the whole fight

[light shadow]

final 2 phases of yharon were great assuming he started in a spot i could react to (dash slop my beloved), but the first like 4 phases just felt like i was running away while spaming homing projectiles in his general direction

[maiden cobalt]

i moreso hated up to once he stopped doing corrective dashes

[humble marlin]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/225030931008847874/1250843585604227144/Untitled_design1.gif

[maiden cobalt]

yknow how he dashes then makes a "SCRAWWW" dash

[light shadow]

oh also fun thing happened

where subphase 4

he went invisible

[maiden cobalt]

"reh- Rhawww"

that idea

[light shadow]

subphase 5 i mean

that was really cool and didnt cause me to quit for a few hours

tbh actual 0/10 boss for the first few subphases and like 6/10 for the last one

[maiden cobalt]

i like phase 2

[light shadow]

def skill issue

[maiden cobalt]

hate phase 1

[light shadow]

but idc this fight sucked ass

first 20 attempts were learning the fight

last 20 was when i realized

[humble marlin]

sp7 🔥

[light shadow]

tf is learning a fight

when i can have him off screen

24/7

and abuse map overlay

[plucky gulch]

Yeah,no thanks.

[maiden cobalt]

no thats the point

[plucky gulch]

It's a mod built around shitpost content.

[maiden cobalt]

yes

[plucky gulch]

Not my flavour.

[maiden cobalt]

but its semi-quality shitpost

instead of The Pooper

[plucky gulch]

I genuinely dislike shitpost culture in general.

Quality or no,shitpost is shitpost.

Not my jam.

[gloomy apex]

Ooooh dear

Turns out

Catalysts auric Tesla + gear doesnt get shimmered

It just

Vanishes?

[humble marlin]

what

[plucky gulch]

That ain't good.

[gloomy apex]

Threw a helmet i didnt need in

It faded away

And its gone

[maiden cobalt]

just ceased to be????

[gloomy apex]

Didnt even play the sound

[plucky gulch]

Reduced to atoms?

[gloomy apex]

Just. Poof

[plucky gulch]

Did the game spit out an error string in the chat log?

[gloomy apex]

Nope

Hang on I have OBS running let me get the clip

[plucky gulch]

...Your bio (I wanted to make heads or tails of your avatar) revealed to me the existence of a Calamitas plush.
And it's adorable.

[magic pelican]

EAGuhb

no egg here

wym

[gloomy apex]

The B is silent

Look at this my shimmer just robbed me

[magic pelican]

shits gone

rip

[plucky gulch]

Blipped from existence.

[gloomy apex]

And it clearly still works because the vanquisher arrows shimmered

[plucky gulch]

Something to tell the addon devs about,methinks.

[gloomy apex]

Ill check it out further once the run is over to confirm nothin is messing with it

[frank mauve]

cheat it back in

[gloomy apex]

I dont wanna sit through reloading my mods ill just bully ravager again

[plucky gulch]

Why Ravager?

Wouldn't it be faster to go and get the ores yourself,since Ravager drops basically nothing for metals?

[gloomy apex]

Need bloodcores

[plucky gulch]

The Crags:

[gloomy apex]

Yeah but I dont have a pylon down there and he drops a lot

Not like the fight lasts very long

[frank mauve]

yeah farming ravager is pretty fast

[gloomy apex]

alright here it is

the "Im running for my life" setup

[blissful birch]

what is that !!!!

[frank mauve]

melee auric?

[gloomy apex]

Shmoovement speed

[frank mauve]

anyway speed wont help u lol

even with myrindael spam (which is faster than that setup) isnt enough

[gloomy apex]

I disagree I need as much distance between them and me before I dash

The real carry is the leviathan ambergris

[gleaming cairn]

what're they fighting, exo mechs?

[gloomy apex]

I just need to be mobile

Yeah

This is just for the thermonuclear last stand

[gleaming cairn]

okay yeah, i'd argue that speed stops mattering at a certain point with scal anyway

[gloomy apex]

While true, assuming I dont burn it earlier, I have:
Ram dashes,
A dodge,
2 revives

And the godslayer dash

[frank mauve]

get sealocket

2 dodges technically

[gloomy apex]

True

Alright the stage is set

[magic pelican]

I DID IT

FUCK YOU DRAEDON

fluked the fuck out of that last phase

[gloomy apex]

Hell yeah

My turn

[magic pelican]

@frank mauve peak

[frank mauve]

🔥🔥 ggs man!!

[magic pelican]

now its time for the witch

little worried icl

[frank mauve]

shes really fun tbh

[magic pelican]

Im more so js worried for dsp, i know yardis dodges ts with his eyes closed but thats a lot of projectiles man

oh and sepulcher

[frank mauve]

seppy is free

dsp is like

still free if u know the route

[magic pelican]

Yeah no

I watch it, but I can't copy ts

[frank mauve]

what class are you

[gloomy apex]

I DIDBIT

[magic pelican]

Melee

[gloomy apex]

SPEED DOES WORK

[magic pelican]

good job eaguhb

[gloomy apex]

HAHAH I OUTRAN THE FINAL PHASE LETS GOOOOO

[magic pelican]

so like

[frank mauve]

[magic pelican]

whats the downside to using Heart

[gloomy apex]

Holy shit I almost threw in the first phase let me get the run up

[magic pelican]

or is it js upside

[gloomy apex]

No adrenaline damage boost

[frank mauve]

melee lowk suck

[gloomy apex]

I had no right survivng this fight oh my god

[magic pelican]

so u hate me

[frank mauve]

i like true melee

[blissful birch]

why can i not shimmer a pylon

[smoky dock]

opportunity cost

[blissful birch]

:(

[magic pelican]

my lightspeed js kinda disappeared?

[smoky dock]

That’s not in this version

That’s a modded feature in 1.4.4

[blissful birch]

how do i obtain an aether pylon with more pylons

[smoky dock]

It’s vanilla in 1.4.5 but tModLoader is not in 1.4.5

[smoky dock]

it should say in the mod description

[frank mauve]

u can in vanilla

[gloomy apex]

Oh that is just a whole tank as a mount

[frank mauve]

yeah its strong a bit

[gloomy apex]

Chalice absolutely saved me during that fight I can not believe I've been sleeping on it for years

[frank mauve]

i like it cuz it means i can stay at 100 hp and i wouldnt have to heal to tank a hit

[gloomy apex]

Should be uploaded in 15 or so minutes once the checks are all done

one to go

[magic pelican]

me too twin

[frank mauve]

use dragon rage pls 🥺

[magic pelican]

Im gonna

im gonna

calm ur tits

it does crazy damage anyways

[frank mauve]

u can kill scal in 3min with it

dsp included so its technically 2min

[blissful birch]

why are no villagers selling pylons

is this a terraria or calamity thing

or modded

[frank mauve]

happiness

need them to have a stable living life

good rent

good houses

[blissful birch]

what is the minimum

wiki said it used to be 0.9

all villagers have well above that

[gloomy apex]

https://youtu.be/9bP0WVaLd_s

Even more exhilarating than beating DoG

[frank mauve]

summoner hate when

i wonder if u coukdve killed exos in 1min with ranger

[gloomy apex]

Probably

Chance my laptop wouldve been killed in the process

this isnt gonna end well for you pal

[magic pelican]

atmp 11 52%

[plucky gulch]

...The Mutantt just fell from the sky the moment I turned on Rev+Eternity.
And she made a squeaky toy noise.

[gloomy apex]

mm

good start

[frank mauve]

mutantt?

u mean deviantt or

[smoky dock]

High numbers are bad

You need to make them happy so their prices are as low as possible

[near wedge]

infernum DOG attempt 148 20% best run yet

im like 30 attempts away

[smoky dock]

They start at 1.0 and range from 0.75 to 1.25 iirc

[frank mauve]

thats good

[spare holly]

dont worry

[plucky gulch]

Sorry,yes,Deviantt.

[spare holly]

my first time doing infernum dog took like

[near wedge]

every time i look at the boss health bar my timing gets messed up and i die lol

[frank mauve]

mutant sells boss related stuff iirc

[spare holly]

around 200

now i do infernum dog in like 5 tries

[plucky gulch]

Deviantt sells rare enemy spawners,after you kill said rare enemies.

[near wedge]

Im playing w/ the stars above so its a bit easier

[plucky gulch]

The Abominationn handles events and days.

[gloomy apex]

Why is sepulcher so TANKY

[frank mauve]

said no one ever lol

that thing dies in 1 second

[gloomy apex]

It very much does not

[spare holly]

depends

if your weapon has a lot of pierce it fucking annihilates it

[frank mauve]

use surge driver right click

[spare holly]

otherwise it's very tanky

[frank mauve]

u defeated twins last u should have it

[smoky dock]

usually that’s Weapon Issue

Use Something Else™

[frank mauve]

as long as u hit the head its fine

[smoky dock]

If you need to use a new weapon for specifically Sepulcher then go for it
