is this canon or?
does that imply theres an element called chaos?
I think the actual chaos elemental, if there is one, just summons these little things to fight for it
maybe it is
Because the elementals are sisters
small domains have small elementals
would also imply there's an element called granite
i meant like artificial domains
There was that one removed enemy
thats the canon for all elementals, they are the entire element
so killing a sand elemental doesnt kill the sand elemental itself
its just avatars
Specifically for dropping stuff that only appeared a limited amount of times, possibly none, for a world
you know how Cloud Elemental is actually massive
just like her domain which expands to the whole planet

cant that be said for earth elementals too
it is but i assume they managed to connect it to the actual domain?

Domain expansion?
Draedon hearing the player say Skeletron Prime: 
Me who wants to call ares skeletron prime deluxe just to do a bit of trolling

Also imagine draedons reaction if he finds out we named items "master bait" and "golden shower"
"well the angler named the bait"
Skeletronus Prime.
What if i inject you with Ichor
what if draetalk gives you an option to rename the mech bosses
rematches obviously aren't canon but their appearance in boss rush is
Yeah but they aren't the real Mechs, just recreations made by primordial light
I’d love to be injected with the blood of a god. Makes me stronger.
I thought you hated the gods
Don’t reuse needles kids. Wouldn’t want to get auric STDs
Auric nanomachines are the cruelest torture method
Auric needle that is exactly 1 molecule in width:
You inject them in your victim, and they flow through their blood. Without touching anything they will have no effect, however, when needed, they can touch blood vessels and create auric rejection reaction in different spots of the body. Since they're small, effect of each individual nanomachine is probably weak, but because of the sheer amount of them, and because they're spreaded across the body, they can make painful, but not lethal effect
DISCORD FUCKED UP MOBILE AGAIN WTF
Whatever
They got rid of the dms button that was so nice

Hello lorians
Omg yharim
are you that one user who used to do calamity matchups and powerscaling in like earlier 2023
if so this is the second yharim user who did/does powerscaling
There is no real one.
Yeh.
Wilds !
I kinda moved on from scaling for the most part, but I retain most of my knowledge of it.
Whats the ranking between Scal, Fovos, Noxus and Yharim. Who has most AP and who has most Destructive capabilities
what's AP again?
In terms of raw power:
Noxus >>> Fovos > Scal >>> Yharim.
In terms of power combined with combat skill (who would win)
Noxus > Fovos > Yharim > Scal.
...I think
there's the fully correct ranking out there somewhere, can't remember exactly what it was
attack potency
Yall discord sent me one of those convo notifications and it was like
"Lore discussion: Yharim and Scaling"
And all i could think was
"Oh theyre at it again"
Lol yeah
how is SCal above Yharim in raw power
doesn't she literally say that she has no chance against Yharim in her own fight
lmao
they say raw power but what they mean is prolly just
destructiveness
scal's attacks are more destructive since they are fiery blasts
Yharim is mainly sword and fists
I will say tho
Yharim could prolly slash entire buildings down and cause lower-end earthquakes with its fists
but still
we're at it again gang
Armor penetration
Im about to get one of my friends into calamity, and I want them to know the lore but I don't want to overwhelm them. Where would be a good starting point for the be?
my cat
actually no
most of fiction
Yes, because Yharim has a century of training
Calamitas is physically strong, while Yharim is like the player: Weak but very good at dodging and hitting the right place
Is this confirmed?
Yes
Do we even know how yharim would fight?
wdym
bro
9 foot tall humanoid with high-tech Auric armor swinging around a Buster Sword-sized weapon
him being "weak" can't be real
it's having strong magics
I'm considering magic as equivalent to physical strength here
even the developers stated that Calamitas' durability without magic is as high as other humans
just so you know, that confuses people usually
from what I've seen, no one refers to magic as physical strength so yeah
unless
said magic enhances physical strength
which isn't really the case here
Calamitas just blasts you with brimstone flames
and has other magicks as well
Yharim is the one that's physically powerful
i am a Calamitas supremacist
Yeah, fair
my goat hits you with Strong Fire
Calamitas is the one that has powerful and destructive abilities as well as magics and a whole bunch of abilities
Yharim is the one that has a shitton of brute physical strength, armor and sword, and a shitton of experience and skill
Calamitas isn't even that well rounded with magic
But I mean that Yharim is physically strong but his combat ability comes primarily from skill rather than his strength (even though he is also pretty strong physically), whereas calamitas is also strong, but her combat ability relies primarily on her strength (magical in this case)
I get that
It's been stated numorous time that any magic thats not brimstone flames calamitas struggles with heavely
not heavily but in the sense that she can't properly moderate the intensity of it for all I could understand
she's still very skilled (was trained by the dude titled "Archmage"), and is the strongest mage in the world
Not doubting that at all
I just think she's significantly weaker than Yharim and gets her ass handed to her by him in a fight
of course
Yes.
wait where?
if Yharim punches her bubble shield thing she uses ingame once, it'd probably be very cracked, and without that Calamitas gets Saitama'd by Yharim technically
bestiary first, draetalk second iirc
I see
Heres an idea
I haven't looked at draetalk yet, I'm waiting for the sunken sea update for a new playthrough
alr fair
since yharim is supposed to be the final challange, what if he is sufficant in all 5 classes
Wasn’t it also confirmed somewhere some time ago that Yharim’s boss fight would take a lot of inspiration from Senator Armstrong’s boss fight?
yes, and now even Minos Prime as well
I need Yharim to scream “JUDGMENT” and drop kick the player. It’s now a necessity.
For the first 20 seconds of the fight he just stands there tanking all the damage you do to him
Now that I think about it
It has to be this way" Fits way to well for the battle between the terrarian and yharim
Yharim in old lore was based on Armstrong
he's a bit different now.
what does draedon think of name "The Arsenal" given to his weapon project by the soldiers
does he like it
i love calamitas
The player character's lore is left almost entirely to the player's interpretation, correct?
People always sleep on her clone, why not love her?
I beleive so
All we know is that we must ascend beyond the enemies control
It's an imposter.
Does the fact that the first lore item is called "Awakening" imply anything?
Does it imply that the player character suddenly woke up in the world?
(JoJo reference)
Also does the player character canonically know/hear the lore items?
Pretty sure they do
"'Whispers from on high dance in your ears..."
so you get info in another form
Any clue on how soon that will be?
We also know that respawns aernt cannon
We also know that he is canonically a master craftsman thanks to it being confirmed that the player created Miracle Matter before even Draedon.
We also know that they are bad at naming things (By draedons account atleast)
A canonical explanation for bad item names. Damn, the dev team is good!
Theres not much else though
The terrarian much like in vanilla is a black slate we project ourselves on
Definitely in some regards, but there are certainly some aspects about the character that must be set-in-stone for the lore and story to work.
Currently, the lore items are Yharim talking to us directly?
"Whispers from on high dance in your ears..." suggests that the player is canonically hearing something; Yharim's reaction to Permafrost being alive suggests that these lore items are his current thoughts and not a reflection or "echo" of his former words; and he is shown to speak directly to the player character, even asking them of things, thus confirming that Yharim is intentionally contacting us.
Yharim canonically has a way to telepathically communicate with the player. We don't know why he has this, most likely it is just a temporary thing for until there are better ways of showing the lore
Yharim is implied to be a strong mage as well--after all, Yharim's Crystal exists.
that item predates the new lore
I'm pretty sure its not canon
he was a strong mage in old lore
I imagine him being a melee user who dashes constantly
Like that one infernum boss kinda
Bereft vassal
If anything, I would imagine him to be a master of all classes.
Is there a source?
literally all official art of him has him using a sword
I didn’t know that was canonical
and only a sword
That doesn’t mean he doesn’t ever use anything else
he has never once been shown to use anything else, directly or indirectly
There is very little proof of his fighting style so far
That's like saying we don't know permafrost doesn't use guns. It would be silly if he did
And very little art
Im pretty sure a lore writter said yharim is only melee
all evidence we have points to him using only melee
even without official statements
the causic edge used to be his sword, for example
before it was renamed
I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s melee I’m just saying I wouldn’t be surprised if he used magic or rogue for some attacks in his fight
ok guys
And I think it fits for him to be melee
I can see what you mean but knowing what we do, there is no evidence that he would do this.
That is a faulty comparison. Permafrost is stated to be a mage and we have him as a fully implemented NPC. Meanwhile, Yharim remains a mysterious figure that we don't really know much about his fighting style or powers--all we know is that he at least uses a sword.
I get that Yharim's class is a highly controversial topic that has ended the world at least twice but prepare yourselves since the lorewyrm is coming
Currently, there is none. But it is still up for confirmation
I guess that's fair, but still we have tons of statements proving what it is, just not in game
Hello lore chat, what’s crackalakin?
the same conversations for the millionth time, of course
Yharim?
What is the lord wyrm
loreous
I concede that Yharim likely defaults to melee (melee is the default class in general), but my problem is that having him strictly use melee is a little boring and implies to that the canonical class for the player is also melee in order to be a perfect parallel.
the player has no canonical anything
the player is your oc
Mostly, but that's the problem--Yharim being melee would leave an obvious answer for the player's class as melee would be far superior narratively.
Everyone says this channel has the same conversations. So I’m here to spice it up
Yharim may be melee, but it’s not like melee is strictly close up fighting in Calamity, or even Terraria
What calamity character could beat LeBron in a basketball 1v1? Now that’s interesting.
you know I'm starting to kill you yanno
não
não
🗿🍷 (this hurts)
What calamity character could beat LeBron in a basketball 1v1? Now that’s interesting.
me
We need to know
Permafrost
Nah
How?
show me your source
there's nothing contradicting me beating lebaron janes in a basketballa 1v1
How long ago was Ilmeris destoryed?
Maybe Braelor, he’s a big guy
You are not a calamity character sadly
dunno exactly how long but I'm pretty sure it's around 10 years or smth idk
wrong
I think braelor could
Statis could too
Yharim could easily
Is that a guess or do you have evidence?
think it was stated by a developer
also cal's age
I feel like permafrost is short, but I don’t have a source
she was a teen during Ilmeris
So I don’t think he can dunk
Calamitas was a kid when she joined the Crusade, she’s in her late twenties now
So there’s our time frame
yee
Most NPCs and the player are short, judging by pixel measurements.
Shortlamitas
Yes, that helps.
time to monster hunter guys
So I dont think they have anything on LeBron height wise. Also, I could be wrong but I don’t think permafrost has telekinesis which is the only thing I can think of that would help him in basketball
At longest I’d give it twenty years between her joining Yharim and the game’s start
Was destroying Ilmeris one of the first things she did?
sea kingdom
holy fuck!
the namedrop!!!!!!!!!!
tiltedrop!!!!!!!!
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Except not really cuz he got eaten by a clam
He just did a very poor job at it
we dropping at tilted towers boys
Where would be the best dropping place if the calamity world was in Fortnite lol
Is the Underground Desert supposed to be the remains of Ilmeris? If so, why are the stuctures so desert themed?
It’s dried up
because it got desertified
No, I mean the houses and the loot.
Ohhh
she likely had a few years to be trained by permafrost
That's any desert. I mean like the Bass statue and ancient chisel.
Can you boil The abyss
No
That’s why it’s desert themed
It produces its own water.
That was just an example
the Ilmeris Evaporation was 5,8 teratons
the question was about the abyss-
That’s a funny
for reference: the only natural disasters that surpass it are like, magnitude 9 earthquakes I think
How big abyss compared to ilmeris
pushingtron I'm gonna push you
idk :3
Search "Draining the Abyss Terraria Calamity" on YouTube and find the videos by "Aggressive Bungee."
you are omnivorous
I mean is there a lore reason
nuke calamitas back
It's a large ocean?
ok nvm enough wildings
lemme check actually
Stop making her eat supernova
Oh, my brain did not work for a sec
bomb them again
10 years because cal is 30 years old at most and got her powers when she was like 12ish according to dev statements
Ah, thank you.
yeah i still dont know the dev reason for that
I think it should have been kept
sunburnt calamitas
maybe because the demons are what are left of her kind?
terraria demons have pink skin
yeah any earthquake that has a magnitude of 8,9 or above would surpass Calamitas' Ilmeris incineration in terms of energy
that's still extremely impressive considering they both make stuff like nukes look miniscule in comparison
do we know what calamitas's rogues are made of? what cloth can survive Brimstone Flames?
@sinful adder Do you have any insight on this?
i think she uses her magic to protect them
it could also be magically enhanced cloth
that's like, a thing that probably exists
Maybe Azafure just know how to make fireproof clothing
they live in hell afterall
But this is Brim fire
azafurous
Still fire
They can make Brimfire-proof clothes but not Brimfire-proof houses?
im pretty sure shes immune to all kinds of fire debuff
Oh theyre brimfire proof alright just not blast proof
Hmmm...
brimstone hellblast isnt lethal because its made of brimstone flames, its because youre getting by a fast moving fireball
Crags have brimstone lava so yes their houses are brimfire proof
bringing this back cause I think I'll do a speed calc on astrum deus
brimfire-proof my ass
Then why are they ruins (including the bridge)
brimflame proof no brimstone and lava resistant yes

im the real yharman
Hi yharnam
yharon phase 2
What if Moon Lord was called Goon Lord and instead of Lording the Moon he died?

Yharnam.
Yharperson
Yharson
Yharsoul
yharring
i disagree
yhanded
Yharwoman
Yharsan
Yharchan
no
Yrimir
Yharbidi

We need more tooltips for materials
What materials?
None of the cores have any tooltips, and the bars dont either
We dont NEED any perse
But it would be nice
Yes exactly
is the "ares would have had swords but i couldnt get it to work properly" bit from draedon a reference to infernum? or is infernum referencing old concepts for ares?
before the last rewrite ares was canonically unfinished when you fight draedon
if he in theory was finished he would've had another pair of arms, some sort of pulse weapon + a melee weapon
might be a nod to that
or it could be neither idk
he's a floating skeleton samurai eva, him having swords seems like a fairly reasonable step without it necessarily referencing either old lore or infernum
Doesn’t bro have chainsaws in infernum? Not swords?
last i saw footage of the fight he had 2 extra arms, both with phaseslayers
neat
thank you
in infernum he wields 2 crucibles
(Doom guy sword)
Nope it's two annoying swords that are a hassle to learn how to dodge
Oh, well, last time I fought it I kinda figured it out
Draedon really wanted that weapon but couldn't make it work with the other 4 arms
Yeah me too but it took me a long time
Too many arms!!
I think it was that and the synergy
But uh, in lore, why does the guide die when you summon the WoF?
Like, the wall of flesh is the essence of slain gods, but there’s just some random mf terrarian that’s an encyclopedia and also seems to die from the WoF’s existence??
I think there's an explanation in that for vanilla but I don't remember
For calamity I have no clue whatsoever
yes, both draetalk and infernum are referencing the same scrapped plan where ares wouldve had 2 melee weapon arms
most boss summoning isnt canon
because either they actually come after you (you dont summon them) or they dont make sense
like calamitas actually COMES after you
you dont summon her
didn't red say that the guide is the wof
Nah but something as specific as the guide dying in the underworld has gotta have some lore connotation
I still kinda want an explanation why tf the guide dies
terraria lore does not mean anything for calamity lore
didnt red say that anything not ingame isnt canon
thats just terraria leftovers, the only explanation i can see without bullshitting your way into it, is god of scarifices is in wall of flesh
which isnt true because...
god of scarifices is ravager.
wat if its just sealed and u need to kill someone to break it
for calamity i dont think theres an explanation
i figure since cal WoF is just like, a vessel for the evils of the world (right? am i misremembering), then the guide is just. a vessel for the vessel
and it just so happens the voodoo dolls kill the guide first
since they cant have the WoF roaming around down there
WoF is a vessel for GOD esscenes
not evil worlds
wof is a homunculus created to store god essence
evil worlds happen because god esscenes TRIES to reform itself
which turns into biomes
hallowed being good god
gods*
corruption/crimson being evil ones
Also in lore, Silva REALLY doesn’t wanna “die”
its mostly because she cant
silva
is an elemental which means
she has a domain
and that just happens to be life
and to kill an elemental
you need to kill the domain
or atleast theortically
which you know...
you would need to kill everyone
If she dies, EVERYTHING dies
does this mean that we dont actually kill brimmy
anahita's not an elemental, i thought
oh
shes the water elemental
she angy because silva took over abyss
which is her domain
AFAIK it seems that most bosses either run away, or come after us. Except for aquatic scourge
Poor aquatic scourge
and crabulon
Crab 🦀
true
Anahita really got her domain taken AND her best friend killed
Not a good life icl
aquatic scourge im pretty sure is the only one that didnt attack us
every other boss either attacked us or straight up looked for us and attacked
old duke didnt look for us but... we were in his territory so
same goes for dragonfolly
Either way, the terrarian seems to be in a menace
Is there any lore explanation as to why the player has such insane power growth
I mean ain't they just a human? Do they have some innate potential or something?
what the terrarain kills is up to ur playthrough, so whether you kill all optional bosses or keep them all alive
or kill some
they quite literally killed the world's guardian
I mena you fight an acid rain just for him to third party you in the end
we need Terraria pacifist calamity add-on fr
They are an unknown factor, a catalyst. Nearly as alien as Draedon
Terrarian has no enemies
yes but what enables them to be a catalyst
thats also headcannon, the entire canon of the terrarain is up to your own playthrough, so just make up whatever you want
the terrarain might not even be human
Idk, that's what Draedon says
There won't be a reason as to why
quite funny to go from killing a blob of gelatine to a fucking god
do
do u know wat this line means

Does noone in the cal universe question why the terrarian can grow so strong 😭
I mean yharim had yharon and the ability to incite willpower in his armies
We just built different idk
what if that blob of gelatine IS a god
That's how I interpreted it
no it just means "damn this rando grew in power pretty quick huh, bet he doesnt know shit about most the world"
I mean, Yharim is also a terrarian
well technically we killed its guardians not the god...
i was kinda talking about vanilla
((he means king slime
you miss queen bee 
Oh yeah, true
Yeah but you managed to grow in power in less time than Yharim
And without auric soul attunement
also. i would count yharim as a "terrarian"
Doesn't queen slime's lore item say we fully killed slime god after queen slime was felled
most creatures are terrarains, terraria is the name of the planet, thats like calling a human earthlings even tho a dog also comes from there
yes we did
but we fought his guardians
not himself
I mean Draedon tweaks once you defeat two of his mechs
Ok, I’m pretty sure Yharim is a human ffs
During the actual slime god fight yeah
queen slime is sg
sg is STUCK inside queen slime
Bro just got stuck inside
isnt it sg just stuck in queen slime?
Slime god is stuck inside his paladin queen slime
thats what i have been told lol
yea and we kill them since they cant leave
doesn't the lore item say that queen slime is the new guardian of sg
?
because sg couldnt escape
Bro got door stuck
im confused
queen slime is sg
Yeah since you kill queen slime you kill slime god
in what sense?
stop trying to overcomplicate it

hold on can i post a leftist wall of text explaining (my thoughts on) why each of the bosses attacks you
The crystal?
slime god is the crystal
STUCK
Having fled after your battle, it seems the Slime God fashioned a new guardian from the unleashed essences.
Ensnared in the absorption process of its newfound power… it could not flee again.
Or perhaps it was overcome by arrogance or desperation.
A glorious hunt, a fine foe. Now you know you must chase them to the ends of Terraria.
yeah
I thought queen slime was slime god's creation, we just chased down slime god after we killed queen slime and got him cus he was too tired
slime god couldnt flee from the inside of queen slime and died
collateral damage
Chill out my man
im explaining the lore tho???
they are practically the same
funny that the first god we kill is like. early hard mode
thats the entire point of an explanation
Ah but not exactly the same
yeah but to say that isnt right because he isnt LITERALLY queen slime
🤓
Is it true that one of the reasons astrageldon was entirely removed was because he didn't fit on the lore because he's steonger than slime god?
He was removed because he sucked
🗿
explaining to who? everyone here alr knows this
I though slime god was trapped inside the crystal in qs
geldon was removed because it was a terrible boss
back then
We were discussing it
Is anyone gonna talk about how yharim taught us how incorrectly disposing of a god's essence is a very bad thing
But we just dump the essence of the gods we kill wherever
geldon was just king slime with projectiles iirc
i like the idea of an astral slime boss but also it wasnt. anything
it was easier to just overhaul it entirely cause
we really didnt need another slime boss
I mean, bro could’ve just made him a Astral Paladin
Because Astrageldon could have been absolutely reworked into a better boss rather than removed
thats
what happened
And replaced
aureus is
overhauled geldon
yea its name is aureus
he was removed probably bc another slime boss wasn't original
completely overhauled
By the time of the rewrite, Aureus was already introduced
it was yea
For nearly the same thing
I know
maybe in the future, if you kill QS youll have a little cutscene where the devourer shows up and eats it
so if everyone did, whats the issue? im not confusing anyone with "overcomplication?" + i was elaborating on a point
you cant argue aureus is less unique than geldon
no??
Lmao
not even close
DAMN
They're both easy
I think seeing DoG that early in the game might not be great
I mean infernum's cutscene of him eating providence works since you're soon to fight him
garbo defending his lover...
thats on the level of "yharon is just duke"
Let him cook. I want to see the explanation
And just walk around and spawn stuff to hit you directly
I dont see any resembleces.
wat is that message even saying
Damn you're right
Yharon is just duke
that sgs method of fighting isnt them fighting because theyre slimes?
aureus is similar because they both use modified mourning wood/everscream ai
what?
Walking side to side, being both easy, spawning killable minions and other flying projectiles
do you consider provi to just be an ice queen?
imagine a new player blindly playing and seeing dog
Slime god is like a commander
ok so in the fight started by the overloaded sludge item, you fight the ebonian and crimulan paladins, which are just big slimes. slime god is there, but it just kinda watches you like draedon does, and fucks off when you kill both paladins
in the fight started by the gelatin crystal item, you fight a third paladin (which is just another big slime), but slime god itself is trapped in the paladin, causing it to die when you kill the paladin
you can say yharon = duke
ravager 2.0

Yes
u replied to a message about qs, and u responded with something about the sg fight
the only onethat i can give you is the first one
king slime is aureus
no? i responded about the qs fight, we fight qs, not sg, as sg is STUCK in qs?
we're talking abt when we killed slime god fr
i think the only particularly fair boss comparison is ravager and golem
spawning killable minions = thats like half of the bosses in the game
A lot of people do say Yharon is just duke but he has enough different projectiles and phases to be slightly different and fun
Like we did not kill him in the slime god fight, we did when we killed queen slime
Aureus... doesn't change much
you fight sg, that is their power. to control slimes
yes, to control
and like. i guess QB and PBG but thats because theyre the same boss in different forms :lul:
Yeah but they still do end up coinciding
we are still basically fighting queen slimes power under control of SG
"Ensnared in the absorption process"
coldtism be damned my boi is dripped the fuck out
and? sg is still controlling it
this is the slime god
they use the same ai as a base
thats why theyre similar
ok?
Official concept?
Honestly, Aureus shooting lasers mid air rather when landing would already be a huge step up
being made by cosmaticmango so yes
this is also slime god. i feel like calamity should resprite this bit but
u still havent made a point on why the qs fight isnt fighting sg
Niceeeee
L
L
So... We got SG cus he couldn't escape the death of qs
im not saying aureus is perfect but its not a clone of crabulon
noob, yes the terrarain DID fight the draedon, but when we want to be more specific, we say we fought the exo mechs not draedon himself.
wrong
WRONG REPLY
It basically does seem when you look at it
Feel different but looks similar
even tho exo mechs are both creation and completely under control of draedon
lol
we're fighting draedon he's just playing summoner
the exos are individual from draedon
I mean I would encase myself in crystal for protection
they dont share the same mind
Slime god is a summoner
so how come SG is stuck inside queen slime if they are one noob?
tired
i really dont see the similarities besides them sharing a base ai with mourning wood
They have battle AI with algorithms programmed by draedon
So yes
and why do they need to be created?
Draedon isn't in a chair with a controller controlling the exos
Damn
im not saying they have free will, im saying just because they are completely under control of sg does NOT make them 1 with SG
They should make that Canon though lmao
honestly i feel like the only reason people say they're similar is because aureus faces the screen when walking (which i fucking hate, it looks dumb and doesnt make sense considering hes not a crab)
The whole family linked together
yea but ur saying that ur not fighting sg because its not literally sg going up to you and punching you
He a metal infected crav
no, im saying if we want to go more specific, we are fighting QS
I also wasn't even thinking about them both being front facing
the entire point was that, we never ACTUALLY, and i mean ACTUALLY fought SG
They just play out similarly
Is aureus even facing the screen? I mean if you were designing a recon bot I would not put the longer side to the front
Wasn't the entire point that queen slime and slime god different entities?
YOU ONLY FIGHT THE PALADINS
NOTHING ABOUT EITHER FIGHT INVOLVES SLIME GOD DIRECTLY
Aureus is just more complicated yet as easy as crabulon on the long run
^
idk why i even bothered with this, i said its just a misunderstanding and i still continued
im unsure as to what is confusing here /nm
my bad
I thought all of this started because someone thought queen slime is the same person as slime god
its
weird
I like Aureus as a concept, design, theme and all but his fight is just.... eurh
i imagine aureus has a similar shape to metagross
well if that was the case i dont think theyre here anymore
I have fun during it but it's just too easy
i already was planning to
with four limbs with 90 degree space between them and the head in the middle
you only fight a sword
nothing about a fight involves fighting a swordsman directly
but its sprite looks like aureus is just really wide
oh my god
this example doesnt work but im not gonna bother
this reaches nowhere
if i make a point then you will
just because sg's way of fighting uses slimes doesnt mean theyre not fighting you
sure
All of this happened cause some thought slime god and Queen slime were the same person lol
Metagross isn't exactly recon bot material tho
AA isn't meant for combat right?
Its armed but its not meant to fight
i know its an addon so this isnt canon but that analogy would be better suited to the goozma fight i think
but. anyway
i think aureus should look like a bacteriophage
if they ever redesign it again. im not saying they need to i just think it would be cool
Bruh, I was looking for an image of him to look at and I found this
I would say make it Aureus look more Draedony
i think it looks pretty draedon-y as is
its just. very clearly an astral entity now
I mean it has to look infected
Like the pet thing?
yeah!
Without some giant gem looking thing on his top he really doesn't resemble one
i know!!
Unless it was ripped off or smth
i dont like how aureus has the grey stuff or the monolith on it
its pretty mobile though
im saying it should
The legs also not skinny at all
and a design like that could probably scale terrain well
im just a sucker for these thigns tbh
the grey stuff is described as "stone-like" but it only appears on organic material
the monolith stuff is literally just infected trees
Definitely not with precision tho
Dog
ITS A SCOUT
ITS NOT DOING THAT
you dont send scouts into places that you know are minefields ya dummy
If anything scouts would be really fast moving
He slower than my ass with terraspark boots
You're driving rosy insane here
lol
All aurrein
i figure most of draedon's aureus units are way smaller
just the one he sent into the astral infection was that large because he was still not sure what actually caused the infection, and thought if it were big enough it wouldnt succumb as easily
heh
Big brain move
draedon does mention giving it additional plating to resist the infection
mhm
obviously in hindsight thats a stupid idea but hes a scientist
he learns by doing
Yeah of course
i mean he does say it technically worked, if only for a short bit
Failure
Just because he’s stupid doesn’t mean he’s slow,,.
yea my guess is there are several variants of aureus models
some are bulkier and very armed
some are smaller and made to collect scrap and stuff or just scout out areas
Which one is for home usage
baby monitor aureus droid
he uhh
literally says that
dumbass
you should
go read it
get your ass in gear, maggot

He said he could completely undo it tho
a ton of lore
that doesnt mean hes GONNA
you should read draetalk, NOW!!! 
he prob wont for a good while
its got research data
you know what i kinda want to see, come to think of it
how does the terrarian even survive acid rain
how sulphur affects life, how radiation affects life, how silva affects life
draedon is a biologist
some of the roadmap teasers said something about braelor giving you little side quests in the distortion, right?
its probably not acidic enough to hurt us
He needs a good enough reason to do so
i think draedon should give us some too
research opportunities he cant access for whatever reason
weird for it to be like irl
I know of a place where I live where acid rains apparently were common and yet it's a super populated city
Not THAT acid but still
damn
ok the acid rain is likely the same water that the sea is made of, yeah? so theres no reason for it to have different properties
however raindrops are fucking tiny?
raindrops are very tiny yes
so like. yeah of course acid rain isnt going to hurt us unless we're standing in it for like, days at a time
You cam even swim in Sulphur water for a bit before it deals like just 40 damage or smth
weeks, even, given-- yeah
quite long time
The water is not stupid radioactive to kill things
its like chernobyl
like, its not a good idea to stay there too long
but the wildlife is fine
otherca puppies
Wonder if it was way more acidic in the start of the dumping process
Amd calmed down since
STOP TYPING AMD
I still don't understand them
for a moment i thought you got really pissed at a user named amd typing
They can be killed, but do they even deal damage or?
They can't even be captured
crittern't
Plankton useless looking asses
anyway the presence of bioluminescent plankton (assumedly) is interesting
They just serve to make you think it's some projectile
yes
A reference to some game ig
scary ass
With tiny green blob fire guys
i mean yeah its a nuclear throne reference but
But in Calamity lore they're hyper mutated mix of animals and shit
if you ever feel comfortable just remember the nuclear terror's front feet are attached to it's back leg
I think the bestiary said that or smth
The effects of our actions are never immediately obvious. Centuries of poison and constant fighting for its own life created such monstrosity, now dragged to the shore by the unrelenting torrents. Whatever it may have been before, all that is left now is its will to survive.
that no one can tell wat it was before
its probably just a fucked up crab
most things in this game are just fucked up crabs
Can't believe they added help_tale to Calamity
of slightly larger size than normal
Averagely crabulon sized
true
crabs are just like that
vanilla crabs are actually the outlier for being so small
Has anyone ever wonder why regular crabs are hostile in vanilla Terraria
Yet scorpions are chilling
cuz everything is hostile in vanilla terraria tbh
ive been under the impression that they dont like, actively hunt you down like most things, they just deal contact damage
the terrarian is scared of them
like.
Crabs are scary
jellyfish out here trying to kill you
if you stepped on a crab it would probably pinch you
They turn around to approach you tho
Scorpions? They get murdered by mice
do they?
you step on the crab and it snaps your foot
I think they do
Scorpions do absolutely nothing against you tho
it actually looks like both the back legs come from the same part and one of the front legs start near the back of the creature
I remember thinking they were hostile until I noticed the 5HP
the nuclear terror has back legs that end in the front and middle legs that end in the back
nuclear terror is like a water strider without the things that make water striders work (weight)
it has no front legs
the front legs of the terror are from the back and the back are from the middle
Only front face
actually yeah its like
a fucked up water stride
fucked up creature imo
Water striden't
if i had to guess i'd imgine it probably used to be some type of deep sea crustacean but idk lol
anyones guess atp
dog
skeleton shrimp comes to mind
consider: its a seahorse with legs
I never paid attention to mauler's appearance
i have no basis for this i just think seahorses are so fucked up
How is he not mess up looking?
oh thats perfect actually
maulers r kind of normal all things considered
they're just fat sharks
sharks in the real world are old as shit and havent changed that much over the years
i mean
alot of animals in the sulphuric seas aren't that fucked up
A lot of them are bizarre in some way tho
did you know that sharks are as old as SIRIUS
most likely those that didn't come in too much prolonged contact with radiation and only had to deal with the sulphuric part
i mean yeah and mauler kind of is still
Especially sfx
brightest star in the night sky
it's much larger than any other shark
sharks are literally older than it
besides reapers
isnt that fucked
Ion see any
This cal update sucks
The bug update
well yeah duh
if this google search isn't being dumb, which it probably is
but. sharks are STILL AROUND
You're mot-
no like
things that are
still around
alot of them r older than that star
i can name like, 30
last time i checked, stars cant reproduce
A lot of fish mostly
Many fish
but
stars FUCK
man fuck this shit
stars HAVE SEX
You are wrong
Two stars, having sex
And they can’t even use protection
My mana involuntarily flex
mana gender
can god customize their ascension form
i imagine no
I thought your pfp was genai for a second
they took their stellar fuckin plasma dick out and they flared on myFUCKING wife
ive come to make an announcement
WE SHOULD STOP PROBABLY
When you eat the auric soul you actually get sent to a menu
astrum deus is a bitch-ass motherfucker
Nah
It’s like 3x as many options as a monster hunter games
he ate my fucking wife
well, kind of i guess?
What if we talk about AD eating said stars?
I shouldn’t have said that
its identical to the terrarian character creator
ur wife is a star?
Gods's ascended form is based of their own personality + the soul they ate
iirc, atlesat
I thought aureus was your wife
is that your fucking godsona
i really need to make my stone god he looks so cool in my mind
I'm already losted
