#

are they sapient?

spring helm
#

she brings them back via necromancy in our fight

pliant ruin
#

it's implied not

#

they're like

spring helm
#

maybe just a little bit, but no more than like... a boston dynamics dog

pliant ruin
#

more advanced than ravager

#

cuz at the very least

#

they can follow commands and be coordinated

solar wharf
#

so the player killed her brothers infront of her eyes?

pliant ruin
#

but they still seem to be quite literally nothing more than that

pliant ruin
#

she is the one that summons them in the first place

#

she knew they were gonna die

reef elk
#

Her "brothers"

pliant ruin
#

it's not like she can't just, bring them back again

reef elk
#

But yea

pliant ruin
#

The actual brothers are long gone so it's not like

reef elk
#

Theyre practically empty

pliant ruin
#

killing them would do much difference

pliant ruin
solar wharf
#

ye but i dont think that matters, if i call my big brother to help me in a fight, and he gets beaten up, even tho technically its partially my fault

#

i do not care

pliant ruin
#

The brothers in her fight are basically just

solar wharf
#

beating whoever did that up

pliant ruin
#

machines i guess??? thats the best comparison i can think of lol

solar wharf
#

WHY WOULD SHE REVIVE THEM?

pliant ruin
#

to beat you up

solar wharf
#

why her brothers specifically

#

that sounds fucked

pliant ruin
#

idk lol

reef elk
#

Capable fighters of blood that are loyal and familiar ig

hushed geyser
pliant ruin
#

they're capable fighters yeaha

solar wharf
#

well yeah, guess who also can fight

reef elk
#

She probably knows them more than something else

solar wharf
#

spelucher

reef elk
#

Barely

pliant ruin
#

and also maybe it's a coping mechanism
lmao

hushed geyser
#

Just call it gameplay and move on

spring helm
#

bring a fuck ton of ectoplasm and polterplasm to the calamitas boss fight
Calamitas summons her brothers
Throw ghost essence at them
Brothers become sentient
"Hey sis, so is this guy your boyfriend or something?"
Success

solar wharf
spring helm
#

probably because of old lore

hushed geyser
solar wharf
#

then it doesnt have to be her brothers

#

make up a new entity

pliant ruin
#

catastrophe and cataclysm as in the ones she summon r about as alive as like

#

idk man

hushed geyser
pliant ruin
#

a door

hushed geyser
#

Her brothers are right there

#

Already existing

solar wharf
# hushed geyser Why

if u didnt want calamitas to do something as fucked up as using her non living brothers to fight?

solar wharf
pliant ruin
#

i think it's implied that she tried to bring them back, but all she got was
those guys

#

so

#

might aswell use them

solar wharf
#

ur saying it has no lore value

#

if so then why them

hushed geyser
#

I'm saying you're looking too deep

#

It ain't that deep cuh

solar wharf
#

this is lore discussion...

#

thats kinda what we do?

spring helm
hushed geyser
#

L move

solar wharf
#

:((

pliant ruin
#

eh i don't really care about her using them for a fight
if they're not actually ''alive'' and don't actually have their memories i honestly don't care, and they don't, so

spring helm
#

well she is a depressed woman living in a cave, maybe she just misses them

pliant ruin
#

also yeah

#

i don't doubt she legit just keeps them around as coping mechanism lol

#

she tried to revive them, only got

#

those two things instead

#

might aswell

solar wharf
#

ye, the intention behind it might just have been coping

#

but its still a fucked action

pliant ruin
#

idk i dont think its all that bad

#

they don't have their memories

#

or consciousness

#

or

#

you know

spring helm
pliant ruin
#

are even barely alive

#

so

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

spring helm
#

Calamitas the First
She was a girl in Azafure doing alright
Then she got brimstone magic overnight
Now she's gotta figure out how to do it right
So much to learn and see

solar wharf
# pliant ruin you know

yeah...

the person she got killed

now shes using their lifeless souls or bodies in a losing battle

pliant ruin
#

honestly i think the best comparison i can think of personally would be if i kept around a statue of my dead uncle jimmy (i don't have a dead uncle called jimmy) and then someone broke the statue of my dead uncle jimmy
i'd probably be upset but it's not like i can't just like rebuild the statue of my dead uncle jimmy

solar wharf
#

the difference is

supple thunder
#

i wonder if she ever sat them down and pretended to chat with them

solar wharf
#

shes practically playing with their corpse

pliant ruin
#

Idk if she's

#

playing with them though?

#

She's
trying to kill someone

#

and they're right there

#

and they're strong

#

so like

solar wharf
#

so then she uses their corpse?

#

where is the respect

supple thunder
#

they fought in life

solar wharf
#

she literally killed them, cant she atleast let them be in peace?

supple thunder
#

she’s letting them fight again maybe??

pliant ruin
#

i think that's just dwelling into personal beliefs more than anything

spring helm
solar wharf
#

i dont think using corpses to fight for urself is morally correct

hushed geyser
#

I don't think

solar wharf
#

specially not ones you killed

hushed geyser
#

Anything cal does is morally correct

solar wharf
#

ye but thats not the point

#

im saying thats a fucked action

#

cheese is saying she doesnt see anything bad

hushed geyser
#

Everything cal does doing her fight is morally bad

#

Including fighting

pliant ruin
#

if i could bring back my uncle jimmy as a cool ass skeleton to fight for me i would, specially considering uncle jimmy (cool ass skeleton edition) wouldn't even have any of cool uncle jimmy's consciousness or memories or
anything

#

so it's not like i'm even like

#

afctually harming my cool uncjle jimmy

solar wharf
#

ye but its disrespectful to do that?

#

ur using their body as a weapon

hushed geyser
#

Defacing him

#

And his legacy

supple thunder
#

that’s definitely personal belief

pliant ruin
#

i mean again thats just personal belief

solar wharf
#

this is the equivlant of me digging out a corpse to block an arrow

#

thats not good

supple thunder
#

maybe azafurians value letting the dead continue to do what they did in life

solar wharf
#

let the man be in peace

hushed geyser
#

(Literally a warcrime)

#

Mutilating a corpse in any way is a warcrime iirc

solar wharf
#

its even worse because now their just puppets

pliant ruin
#

personally if i died and found out ppl turned me into a cool ass skeleton i wouldn't care all that much

solar wharf
#

ur using a literal corpse as a puppet

pliant ruin
#

as long as the cool ass skeleton isn't being used for things i'd be morally opposed to

hushed geyser
solar wharf
#

no?

supple thunder
#

necromancy as a whole is morally interesting

solar wharf
#

its normal for someone to not give a fuck about something morally questionable

pliant ruin
#

i mean if my soul was TRAPPED in the skeleton that's a different story

solar wharf
#

but that doesnt really prove anything

pliant ruin
#

but if it was just

#

my bones being used as a cool skeleton

#

honestly go for it

#

make me beat up some evil guys or something it sounds cool

graceful otter
#

cal has played with their corpses before

solar wharf
supple thunder
spring helm
hushed geyser
#

Santa is the most powerful npc

solar wharf
#

nothing more

#

nothing less

hushed geyser
solar wharf
#

it isnt even necromancy at that point

hushed geyser
#

No downsides

supple thunder
#

well that’s probably why it was banned during the deific era

solar wharf
#

necromancy is confirmed

#

to not be perfect

#

in cal

supple thunder
#

calamitas was horribly traumatized by the the time she was proficient at necromancy

#

i doubt she cared about its morals

hushed geyser
#

(She really doesn't)

pliant ruin
#

Using a dead body as a shield of someone you don't know? Yeah i can see why that might be fucked, i don't think it's the worst thing ever but it's not exactly the most moral thing ever
But if ur bringing back ur loved ones to be cool ass guardians for you isn't anywhere near as bad i don't think, unless ur loved ones where like explicitly against that or smth

solar wharf
pliant ruin
#

like ofc that like

#

depends

#

from case to case

stark basalt
#

Calamitas is fucked up

pliant ruin
#

but me personally

hushed geyser
#

I don't think yall are seeing like cal does, she literally like

stark basalt
#

But I like Calamitas

hushed geyser
#

Killed them

#

And brought them back

supple thunder
hushed geyser
#

Solely to fight

hushed geyser
solar wharf
pliant ruin
#

i mean

#

we don't evenb

#

know if the constructs influence the actual afterlife of the brothers lol

#

i wasn't even cosnidering that

#

cuz like

#

if they're not alive, not conscious, don't have emotions, anything like that

stark basalt
#

No cuz they’re probably just husks at this point

pliant ruin
#

they might aswell literally just be their bodies

#

its what i said

#

if my soul was TRAPPED in the cool ass skeleton

#

then yeah

#

thats bad

solar wharf
#

even if it didnt, corpses are still something respectful to them, its why you see someone blocking an arrow wth a corpse is fucked

pliant ruin
#

but if its just my bones being used

#

idc

solar wharf
#

there is respect in that corpse

supple thunder
#

“empty shells of their former selves”

solar wharf
#

its something that shouldnt be played with

hushed geyser
#

That doesn't matter it's still the fact that she killed them and had to bring them back to life just to fight like

solar wharf
#

specially when ur the murderer

#

the one that ruined it all

stark basalt
#

Idk man, my brother would want me to use him as a human shield ngl

hushed geyser
#

It's gonna have a heavy mental toll on her

pliant ruin
#

yeah but also there's

#

a difference beetween

#

grabbing a corpse

#

using it as a shield

#

thats oibviously being disrespectful

supple thunder
#

they cared deeply about calamitas

pliant ruin
#

i wouldn't like if someone did that to me

#

but in this case it's like

supple thunder
#

and protected her

hushed geyser
#

Putting a bomb in a corpse is now a ok

pliant ruin
#

big ass knight guardian skeleton guy

hushed geyser
solar wharf
#

cheese lets word it like this, if the person that killed you, started using ur body for bidding, would u unironically be fine with that?

#

the person that took ur life away

#

ruined it all

pliant ruin
#

no lol cuz that person is probably bad and evil

#

but in this case

#

it's their sister

#

and she did it by accident

supple thunder
#

she was trying to protect them

stark basalt
#

Its not like she killed them on purpose

pliant ruin
#

so if i was there i really wouldn't care

solar wharf
#

they must be REAAL nice fucking brothers for them to STILL love their sister after everything she did

supple thunder
#

she tried

stark basalt
#

Duck when unconditional love

pliant ruin
#

honestly if i got accidentaly killed by someone who was trying to protect me i wouldnt even be mad if anything i'd feel bad

#

tragic ass story

hushed geyser
#

What I would love my brother if he accidentally killed me

reef elk
#

Yea id love my sibling the same

supple thunder
#

me too

spring helm
#

i'd be a little pissed but not like, furious

reef elk
#

Id be like hell yea do it tbf

hushed geyser
#

I'd love most of my friends and my family the same too

stark basalt
#

I’d still love my brother

solar wharf
#

ye unconditional love still has limits, if my sister killed me, then burnt an entire city, i wouldnt look at her the same ever again, sure maybe hate her is too strong of a word, but if ur gonna tell me, ur still gonna treat ur sister the same

stark basalt
#

I’d have to flame him tho

solar wharf
#

fully knowing many lives

#

where ruined by her

supple thunder
#

like azafure was probably doomed anyway

solar wharf
#

then ig idk what to say, we have different thinking?

supple thunder
#

she just tried to stop it

hushed geyser
stark basalt
#

Nah cuz I have no sympathy for Azafure

solar wharf
#

but can you even call it full on love?

stark basalt
#

Backing Yharim’s war effort n shit

hushed geyser
#

Yes

#

If it was an accident

solar wharf
#

the only reason i wouldnt hate her is because of said unconditional love, but i dont think i can show her love

#

thats just a no to me

hushed geyser
#

I would still love my brother

reef elk
#

Difference between showing love

hushed geyser
#

I really don't care

reef elk
#

And protecting

stark basalt
#

You don’t have to show love to love someone

solar wharf
#

oh me as well, if he killed me by accident, im talking about everything she did, not just this incident specifically

spring helm
#

i think it's time to put this conversation to a close

solar wharf
#

i cant hug my sister if i knew she burnt an entire city

#

basically genocide

stark basalt
#

Popcorn it’s lore

#

the lore

supple thunder
#

i think brimstone elemental would’ve killed her brothers and the city regardless of what calamitas did

stark basalt
#

hi lorerians

supple thunder
#

fight or not they probably would’ve died

stark basalt
#

Hi Corolla

reef elk
#

We have kind of moved past lore though at this point and gone into personal moral arguments

supple thunder
solar wharf
supple thunder
#

it’s her personal lore ig

stark basalt
#

I could always start talking about Braelor again

spring helm
#

not really, you're more talking about each others' personal morals

solar wharf
#

is that really what they want?

stark basalt
#

wh o is braelor

solar wharf
#

ant lover

#

he has an ant army

#

hes so cool

stark basalt
#

Oh Corolla I have a story for you

solar wharf
#

i love him so much

stark basalt
#

He’s actually so cool

solar wharf
#

ikr

reef elk
#

Give corolla the brae lore

stark basalt
#

uh oh

#

Once upon a time, there was a gay guy who liked ants

supple thunder
solar wharf
stark basalt
#

Him and his boy toy Statis decided to fight try and do a stupid

solar wharf
#

LMAO

stark basalt
#

They ended up in DoG’s basement

#

And now they’re divorced

#

oh no

#

Also, Braelor has an ant army

supple thunder
#

the end :(

solar wharf
#

yeah

#

he has a really cool ant army

stark basalt
#

that was such a crazy story

solar wharf
#

also i love how we named anything except the one important part

stark basalt
#

He also has a gigantic axe

solar wharf
#

hes silvas champion

stark basalt
#

Oh yeah

#

Mommy nature

solar wharf
#

DAMN

stark basalt
#

She’s important too

solar wharf
#

did silva raise braelor

#

or did they just meet

stark basalt
#

Good question

solar wharf
#

"hey i wanna help you"

stark basalt
#

Well, since Braelor likes ants, he must love nature

solar wharf
#

true

stark basalt
#

So Silva was all like

#

“Hey ant dude, imma give you some armor”

#

And he just fucks with nature so heavy

#

That he said okay

solar wharf
#

so true

#

i like this story

#

its so well written

stark basalt
#

Bro I’m coming after Cei’s job

Why would cal release calclone and give it her magic. What is her goal there

#

True

civic salmon
#

Gonna confess I didn't think Calamitas destroyed Azafure when she first awakened her powers, for some reason I thought it was later. But now that I know the order of events I'd personally put Calamitas's age around 9 or 10 when she fought Brimmy

#

The one thing that confuses me is this:

#

Azafure burned when the wishes of the Gods who tried to set up Yharim as God-King weren't met...? That claim doesn't really make sense, Azafure was destroyed the better part of a century after the beginning of the Crusade. And Yharim even says Azafure burning is an "unfortunate price of war" but from his perspective, the Brimstone Elemental awakening and duking it out with Calamitas should just be a freak occurence

#

This Bestiary entry on the Brimstone Elemental cites her awakening as possible being due to "dubious prophecies" or even as part of "a plot by opposing forces"

#

Also, Yharim contradicts himself between the Underworld lore entry (first image I sent) and the Azafure lore entry (this one), saying he has no regrets in the former but does have regrets in the latter

#

I wonder if Yharim orchestrated Brimmy's reawakening somehow. Maybe he wanted revenge on Azafure but knew he couldn't destroy it head-on, so he made use of the city's forgemasters for supplying his army, all while knowing it would provoke the Brimstone Elemental's wrath and cause the downfall of the city that once served the gods. But the fact that it took so long (presumably, most people who served the gods in Azafure were dead by the time Brimmy awoke), and witnessing Calamitas's trauma first hand, made Yharim regret the way his plan ultimately came to fruition.

#

That, or some of this is going to be corrected with the Brimstone Crags updated, and I'm speculating based on out-of-date lore. Also possible.

sinful adder
#

Azafure was his home, and the people there were on his side. I don't think he would want revenge

#

It makes far more sense for one of these two things to be the case:
1: The use of brimstone by yharim's army accidentally awoke the elemental (more likely)
2: Their enemy gods awoke the elemental (the ones who survived)

#

Yharim doesn't regret fighting for his people, the azafurians, but does regret awakening the brimstone elemental in the process.

clear vessel
#

We can't say Azafure was Yharim's home, as there really isn't a way to know that's where he came from. In fact, he describes having to deal with Blood Moons, which seems to mean he lived somewhere on the surface. Saying that he fought for his people and Azafure burned kinda seems like he's trying to serve the narrative that "I fought the gods for the sake of those wronged by them and Azafure, the most powerful ally city I have, payed the price" which could be completely fabricated

pliant ruin

I highly believe it was just cuz

#

She didn't want her clone to go through the same things she did lol

that's sweet actually

none that i know of, none that are updated atleast

#

there's a documment in pins w all the current lore tho

#

bet

graceful otter
#

not just the surface

clear vessel
#

true, but he's specifically talking about the swarms of the undead in that lore item, which isn't present in the underworld

#

unless they were at one point, but something changed that

graceful otter
#

i mean skeletons count as undead too

sinful adder
urban hedge
#

Takes a lot more than 5 minutes if there's no path, and it doesn't seem like there was a path

sinful adder
#

Also the blood moon affecting only the surface is not canon, I would guess. Just a gameplay thing.

I love the way the mod shames you for killing a lot of the bosses

pliant ruin
#

are there any bosses where the game does that

#

thats it

pliant ruin
#

does it even do that though???

like

does it??

#

nothing even changes after you kill queen bee

To shame you

just say

"look you did something awful when u killed that thing"

pliant ruin

ye but does like

#

the mod do that

#

am i missing smth

novel tulip
pliant ruin
#

i'm aware

#

what i'm talking about

#

the mod

#

shaming you for killing it

novel tulip
#

not directly, but it only attacking when provoked implies that it wouldntve done any harm to you or the world if you didn’t

#

So there was no reason to kill it

#

And it sorta mentions that in the lore item

pliant ruin
#

hey lore chat,,,

#

did i cook,,,

stark basalt
#

You cooked

civic salmon
humble fog
pliant ruin
#

i do think its al ittle weird to have two scourges pre hm but its what i have to work with here ;-;

civic salmon
#

Welp I thought of another theory while in the shower

#

For a while I've been thinking "huh, the Slime God consumed the Auric Soul of Gluttony, I wonder if there were Auric Souls for the other deadly sins"

#

and then I realized

#

There's a God in the lore, whose Auric Soul and Domain is unknown to us, who has a tie to one of the deadly sins

#

The Corruption/Crimson

#

Where you fish for ingredients for... the Wrath Potion and Rage Potion

pliant ruin
#

interesting

civic salmon
#

What if the original Auric Soul nommed by the God whose corpse became the Corruption/Crimson, was the Auric Soul of Wrath?

pliant ruin
#

but since corruption and crimson are both just piles of multiple god's corpses

#

that'd need for like, the
wrath god to be somehow inboth of them

civic salmon
#

Do the Corruption and Crimson coexist in Calamity Lore

#

Or are they alternate possibilities for the same mosh pit of dead gods

#

And yeah I should've phrased it as "what if the Auric Soul of one of the Gods who became the Evil Biome was the Auric Soul of Wrath"

pliant ruin
#

they coexist ye

#

i always itnerpreted

#

corruption = organized/lawful evil guys
crimson = chaotic brute evil guys

civic salmon
#

See I buy that for Vanilla Terraria but for Calamity I'd want a definitive answer

pliant ruin
#

i imagine crimson would be a bunch of different creatures killing eachother 24/7 and corruption, every guy is gonna organizedly try killing you and you specifically

civic salmon
#

Well the Wrath Potion is specifically the Corruption while the Rage Potion is the Crimson

pliant ruin
#

cuz of things like all corruption enemies having roughly similar appearance while crimson enemies r greatly different (besides all being fleshy), hive mind being, well, a hive mind, while perforators are a bunch of worms that are literally eating one of their own (the hive) and using it as a ''vehicle"

civic salmon
#

If I were to split the remaining sins between the Corruption, Crimson, and Hallow I'd probably say:
Hallow: Lust and Sloth
Corruption: Wrath and Greed
Crimson: Pride and Envy

#

Corruption has the Wrath potion, and enemies like "Clingers" and "Feeders"

#

Hallow is used to create the Love Potion so lust is natural, and Sloth kinda (very loosely) ties in with the idea of a fantasyland that's actually deadly

#

And if the Crimson is a free-for-all like you describe, well, Pride and Envy are excellent ingredients to fester into hate

pliant ruin
#

tbh i doubt hallow would relate to any sins

#

given it's composed of benevolent gods

#

it would seem a little counterintuitive

civic salmon
#

Is it?

pliant ruin
#

ye

#

it's even likely the reason the hallow only appears after you beat WoF is because it was sealed inside of it completely, while the other two evil biomes remained atleast partially

#

of course because

#

yharim wouldn't want any evidence that gods could be good

civic salmon
#

Ah I see, because the world evil was killed by Yharim first as they were the Azafurian Gods who tried to set him up as God-King

#

That being said, this is the Auric Soul, not the domain of the God. And we know that Auric Souls don't influence the actual personality of the God who absorbs them. But yeah I can see why that thematically might not fit

pliant ruin
#

I don't think there's any confirmation they were Azafurian but i don't doubt it

#

but ye

civic salmon
#

Azafure was the home base of the Gods who tried to set up Yharim as God-King, it makes sense that they would be the first ones he killed, and he said the Corruption/Crimson was the "first of his mistakes"

#

I still think the very core theory (one of the Corruption/Crimson gods is Wrath) might have legs though

pliant ruin
#

Corruption/Crimson are both evil gods Yharim started his crusade against, and the Corruption in particular seems like the most likely candidate for the gods who wanted him to be a God-King given the use of specific phrasing

After reading up as much as I could about calamitas, shes the boss in the mod I feel the most bad for

Poor calami

#

Once I complete as much as I can of the game

#

I will eventually write a fanfic

solar wharf
#

is xeorc's "roar" canon

cloud ibex
#

the what

tall delta
#

The boss rush activation sound i imagine

visual bane
#

I think that's just the terminus rock screaming

solar wharf
#

theres a scream

#

once u activate the terminus

supple thunder
#

what if it’s like the loud screech when nameless deity spawns in wotg

#

like a rush of air from xeroc appearing

cloud ibex
#

xeroc doesn't strike me as the screamy type

buoyant inlet
#

xeroc hits his toe against the rock on his way to us

hoary berry
#

i assumed it was a sound made by the terminus itself

#

or a remnant of old stuff

visual bane
#

funny rock finally breathes after a milennia underwater

#

lets hear it's relief:

royal crater
#

Will we be able to kill Xeroc/Noxus? If it's known, of course

brazen ice
#

Wait
Is infernum canon or have its own seperate headcanon

shut tide
#

infernum is not canon

brazen ice
#

:[

shut tide
#

Any cal addon is not canon as far as i am aware

brazen ice
#

Man
I really wish DoG live up to it's name
And not just
Killed 1 demi-god and then call it a day

mighty zenith
#

qwhar

#

DoG has eaten
many gods actually

shut tide
brazen ice
#

I might need to re read the lore

mighty zenith
#

im gonna guess you're thinking of old lore

shut tide
#

DoG has killed a bunch of gods, and probbably lost to some

mighty zenith
#

where he just bit deus and thats it

brazen ice
#

I havent read the new one

mighty zenith
#

yea pretty much everything was rewritten ~a year ago

brazen ice
#

Is there a doc of the new reworked lore?

mighty zenith
#

yep, in pins

brazen ice
#

Imma read it
Tmrw

#

Does it explain
What is providence?

mighty zenith
#

it explains everything known about her so far

brazen ice
#

Like since the rework made all gods into "gods"
What is Providence?

cosmic zenith
cosmic zenith
brazen ice
#

So same status as Xeroc and the other ascended peeps?

shut tide
#

Is provi getting stronger at night non canon to the lore?

cosmic zenith
#

Yes

brazen ice
cosmic zenith
cosmic zenith
brazen ice
#

Aah

shut tide
#

All gods but silva (as far as we know) were humans pre ascension

mighty zenith
#

tyrian and otonilou were ilmerians but yea

shut tide
cosmic zenith
#

Otonilou (Goddess of Electricity) and Tyrian (God of the Seas) were Ilmerians, yes

#

They and Silva are the exceptions among known Gods

brazen ice
#

I havent have access to DRAE-talk so my knowledge of Calamity Lore is pre-rework

shut tide
#

then go do drae talk

mighty zenith
cosmic zenith
#

^

brazen ice
royal crater
#

Will DoG's loyality to someone be ever explained? Or will it stay a mystery forever? It's obviously has something to do with Noxus, but he might not be added.

cosmic zenith
#

That is, if you don't wanna read the entries ingame

mighty zenith
#

they may not be added as a boss fight but they'll still exist

shut tide
#

And before anyone asks, Noxus is NOT a god

#

Same with Deus

brazen ice
mighty zenith
#

even with his biases

#

they give useful info

#

you just gotta read them with a pinch of salt

cosmic zenith
brazen ice
mighty zenith
#

not really, he's talking to you in real time

#

like celebrating provi's death

brazen ice
#

wait what

civic salmon
mighty zenith
#

or being surprised at permafrost being alive

brazen ice
#

So Yharim knows us
And is directly speaking to us?

cosmic zenith
#

Yes

brazen ice
#

I see
The more u know

#

I thought those things are his diaries or something

mighty zenith
#

yeah they're pretty weird when you think about them

#

thats why the devs wanna change the method of getting that info

brazen ice
#

...speaking of which
Is the Terrarian actually the good guy?

mighty zenith
#

rather than weird swirly things that drop from bosses

civic salmon
#

yharim whispering the sick lore drops into our ears

mighty zenith
civic salmon
mighty zenith
#

the terrarian is a blank slate for you to shape into whatever you want

brazen ice
#

So the Terrarian could be facing against Yharim
All for the sake of either to bring justice to the tyrant, or replace one tyrant with another, or even just for shiz and giggles??

mighty zenith
#

yep

shut tide
#

Up to you

brazen ice
#

Well then

shut tide
#

the terrarian could be some random person who decided to go fight gods

wheat walrus
#

bribro

mighty zenith
#

haii

brazen ice
#

So whatsup with cthulhu with the new lore

mighty zenith
#

he doesnt exist

brazen ice
brazen ice
#

What the hell is Moon Lord then

mighty zenith
#

a really really powerful space squid

#

basically HDfailure

brazen ice
#

...srly?

shut tide
#

Moon Lord (formely Fovos)

brazen ice
#

What about Lunatic then?

mighty zenith
#

leader of a dragon cult

#

hates fovos, worked with yharim

brazen ice
#

They want to revive the dragon species?

mighty zenith
#

Most likely yea

brazen ice
#

Whats with the pillars then

shut tide
#

Fovos (moon lord) was responsible for nearly wiping out the dragons (if i remember right)

mighty zenith
shut tide
#

He was sealed away on the moon, and then the terrarian fucking kills them for shits and giggles

mighty zenith
#

moon lord is basically the driving force for the entire story

#

him showing up on terraria butterfly effected basically everything

violet timber
#

Shame there hasnt been a true Cthulhu final superboss yet

#

all we have to work with is moon lord

#

but it suffices

mighty zenith
#

fovos superboss addon.......

brazen ice
#

Is Providence still potentially the most strongest god to ever exist within the calamity lore?

mighty zenith
#

nope, that's xeroc

#

provi is one of the strongest gods though

#

xeroc is just
out of everyone's league entirely

brazen ice
violet timber
#

We need more superboss rants

#

Xeroc ranting about the rod of harmony for a minute was funny

graceful otter
wheat walrus
real silo
brazen ice
#

Wait
If we are talking to Yharim
Can't we just chill
With the tyrant? Just like how we chill with Draedle

wheat walrus
#

that's not Xeroc

#

I'm gonna

#

utterly destroy you down to your concept

mighty zenith
#

you'd have killed his closest friend

real silo
#

how conceptious

violet timber
#

Nameless Deity, same tomato

mighty zenith
#

i dont think he'd want to hang out

mighty zenith
brazen ice
#

:[

violet timber
#

Then what are they

random flicker
wheat walrus
mighty zenith
#

nameless is like an omnipotent creator-god type of thing

wheat walrus
#

at least

real silo
#

Me when the boss without the same name isn't the same as another boss with a different name

brazen ice
#

But isn't Yharon practically immortal?
That we can farm for auric souls

wheat walrus
#

not the current lore Xeroc

brazen ice
#

Wait does that make the Terrarian a god

violet timber
wheat walrus
#

ND is at best an old iteration of Xeroc, and being more realistic it's different than that as well

mighty zenith
#

xeroc is a person that ascended into godhood with an auric soul but is nowhere near omnipotence or anything like that

wheat walrus
#

current lore Xeroc has no connections to nameless deity aside from the primordial light symbol

mighty zenith
#

they're vastly different characters

real silo
#

the yharon soul fragments are like tiny bread crumbs compared to the loaf of an auric soul

brazen ice
#

I see

violet timber
#

I'm just gonna refer to that superboss as john doe then

tall delta
#

money

brazen ice
violet timber
#

Since John Doe is a name used for those with no idenity

brazen ice
#

Again, isn't Yharon immortal?
Cuz
Its
Literally
In the name? Dragon of Rebirth?

mighty zenith
#

he is immortal yes

#

but yharim isnt

brazen ice
#

Then
We cool with Yharim? :D

mighty zenith
#

and it takes yharon several years to rebirth

graceful otter
mighty zenith
#

and yharim is gonna die either from us or old age by the time yharon is back

graceful otter
#

you shouldnt be

mighty zenith
#

dont worry they're both genocidal psychopaths 😊

royal crater
graceful otter
#

you killed someone who encouraged genocide

solar wharf
brazen ice
#

But
Yharon is just a good boi :[

real silo
#

You shouldn't be depressed over auric hitler dying of old age

solar wharf
#

the player is never gonna be able to beat xeroc

graceful otter
solar wharf
#

or atleast we were told

brazen ice
solar wharf
#

the player is however gonna beat noxus if it does get dded

mighty zenith

John Doe is very weird with their many forms, funny how some of them dont have a censor

solar wharf
brazen ice
#

Atleast he's fluffy?...

solar wharf
#

yeah but like

#

theres other fluffy creatures

real silo
#

he will never be fluffy9431

solar wharf
#

yharon is like... very evil fluffness

mighty zenith
#

@ fluffy

#

come here they're talking about you

brazen ice
#

I feel less bad now

#

Is there anything not so depressing about Calamity?

mighty zenith
#

aureus

#

:3

brazen ice
#

Or morally evil

mighty zenith
#

precious boy

brazen ice
mighty zenith
#

okay but genuinely

#

deus gets a happy end

#

since instead of brutally murdering him

#

we free him from the infection

solar wharf
violet timber
#

When they make Yharim a boss I will kill/defeat him over and over again

solar wharf
#

hes an actual good boy

violet timber
#

A thousand times will not be enough

solar wharf
#

or girl ig

brazen ice
solar wharf
#

he isnt in constant agony

#

he adapted pretty well

real silo
#

Infernum propaganda

solar wharf
#

pretty sure only like old duke is in agony

brazen ice
#

Oh wait
Yah thats infernum stuff

real silo
#

mold duke also adapted

solar wharf
#

o

real silo
#

I'm guessing that's why he has the wrinkles

mighty zenith
#

pbg is in constant agony :D

real silo
#

Just like other ss creatures

solar wharf
real silo
#

can't be in constant agony if you have no nerves

violet timber
#

Theres mental agony

brazen ice
real silo
#

bees have stupid brains...

#

and well brians are still part of the nervous system

#

So if no nerve then no brain

mighty zenith
#

i receive:
-your free will and ability to live peacefully

#

you receive:
-cool armor and nukes

Me and the PBG I made by violating the sanctity of nature

Ok sorry virili is nowhere near anime girl

what are you talking about

real silo

the weapon

mighty zenith

brazen ice
#

But wait
Is there any canonical explanation
About the Primordial Wyrm?

mighty zenith
#

yes

real silo
#

explanation for what

brazen ice
violet timber
#

Chaotic energy summons them, just like another mod I know

mighty zenith
#

he's an old-as-hell offshoot of auric dragons

brazen ice
#

Ooooh

mighty zenith
#

older than yharon

real silo
#

mix of being a strong species + blessed by strong god

mighty zenith
#

and he was blessed by silva yea

solar wharf
#

doesnt have an auric soul but dragons are still pretty powerful without it

brazen ice
#

Why does Duke Fishron even exist
He looks like an inbred dragon

solar wharf
#

he is a dragon

spring helm
brazen ice
shut tide
#

Primordial Wyrm, protects the terminus from what we assume is Xeroc, and goes after any form of usurped light

solar wharf
#

PW?

brazen ice
solar wharf
#

he outclasses yharon himself

spring helm
#

primordial wyrm is like
stronger than yharon

shut tide
brazen ice
brazen ice
graceful otter
#

primordial wyrm is a boss (tho its hidden from boss checklist) which means it can beat anything before it

spring helm
#

built different, no need for auric nonsense

#

just age

solar wharf
#

and if we go off of FAQ, which claims to use dev statements (if you trust pusheen ig), it claims PW > calamitas and exo mechs

spring helm
#

(and a little planty mush)

brazen ice
#

Wait a minute
By the laws of nature
How did that thing even live

spring helm
#

trying to true melee PW is headache inducing

#

all he does is run away from me

solar wharf
#

life*

#

silva

mighty zenith
#

the same way the other abyss creatures lived

#

silva

shut tide

solar wharf

  • i would also assume dragons have huge life spans by itself so
brazen ice
shut tide
#

It could be a herbivore

solar wharf
#

ye but goddess of life is like... the entire reason the abyss even has life

mighty zenith
#

canonically DoG is larger

#

cause his resprite

shut tide
#

If you think about it, Wyrms are passive till you either enrage it or use RoD (a crime against wyrm kind)

mighty zenith
shut tide
#

That begs the question, why does PW spawn when you use RoD?

#

Or is that just for gameplay

mighty zenith
#

something something RoD = primordial light

spring helm
brazen ice
spring helm
#

PW hates the primordial light
here's why:

brazen ice
solar wharf
#

they should hire popcorns to draw explainations

#

of why somethings are the way they are

brazen ice
#

Speaking of which
Is the eye on the background actually Xeroc watching over us?

solar wharf
#

explanations*

spring helm
brazen ice
shut tide
#

Yes

#

You summon xeroc through the terminus

brazen ice
#

Can we like
Poke it
And say just a prank bro

shut tide
#

then he goes "oh shit a mortal, your kinda strong wanna see some fun shit"

spring helm
#

i assume he's just watching all the time since xeroc knows all the bosses you fight well enough to recreate them

mighty zenith
#

that's the primordial light sigil

graceful otter
#

the "eye" is the primordial light sigil

mighty zenith
#

he does watch you during the boss rush

shut tide
#

I mean killing a god doesnt go unnoticed

spring helm
mighty zenith
#

i like to imagine he heard of us when we killed moon lord

solar wharf
#

bro you cant even live in peace in that world, bros be stalkin, yharim, draedon, xeroc

#

like come on

#

cant a man chill?

brazen ice
spring helm
#

"terrarian is building a house, i'll come back later"

brazen ice
shut tide
graceful otter
#

hm

#

i should work on the relationship chart again

mighty zenith
graceful otter
#

draetalk means i can connect like 20 more things to draedon

random flicker
solar wharf
spring helm
mighty zenith
#

i still havent read draetalk cluelesscluelessclueless

solar wharf
spring helm
#

so far

graceful otter
#

also i just realised rotdog might be a thing from the corruption

#

kinda like how demon eyes are a thing from the crimson

brazen ice
#

I like how the Terrarian is by far the strongest mortal
Since they can go naked and breathe in the crispy air of crimson, corruption, and astral without getting stage 5 ebola or soemthin

spring helm
#

Xeroc watching the Terrarian build a castle in 12 hours: " 🥱 i'mma tune this one out"
Xeroc watching the Terrarian beat up a depressed PTSD riddled woman: "This is prime time entertainment!"

solar wharf
#

xeroc does not want to watch the DIY terrarain videos :((

brazen ice
solar wharf
#

he does not want to know how to DIY a castle

brazen ice
#

I wish the Terrarian gets strong enough
To be able to poke Xeroc's eye on the bossrush event

spring helm
solar wharf

#

i'm in the game!

trim edge
#

holy shit it's kilometres!

brazen ice
#

Is Yharim still egotistical
Or actually regrets everything and whatever the Terrarian does to destroy Yharim's chances to ascend and goes "aight I deserve that"

mighty zenith
#
  1. yes
  2. yharim doesnt want to ascend
trim edge
#

he regrets not being able to kill all the gods

spring helm
#

yharim does not regret comitting genocide

#

bro's like Andrew Jackson
A life of killing people, and his only regrets are that he didn't get to kill more

brazen ice
#

Fair enough
I though Yharim was now a sad villain in the rework
Ig he's still him

spring helm
#

he is sad

brazen ice
#

But evil sad

spring helm
#

because everyone left his army and he can't kill gods

graceful otter
#

he tries to be sympathetic, acting like the hero who fell from grace, but if you read into it, he was always a dick

shut tide
#

He still loves bees though

brazen ice
#

Draedon left Yharim's army?
Or did Yharim dismiss Draedon

graceful otter
#

he does love bees tho,,,,,

trim edge
#

his original motives made sense and killing the crimson/corruption gods would even be heroic
but then genocide go brrr

brazen ice
shut tide
#

Draedon made PGB and The plague and yharim lost his shit

#

and went "nah im fucking done with you", and destroys part of his lab, which is why the jungle lab is damaged

#

thanks to yharim

#

(source from drae talk)

trim edge
#

draetalk tells us that yharim went to draedon to improve his armour after the pbg incident? which is interesting

brazen ice
#

Didn't Yharim got suspicious/hesitant about Draedon before the plague thingy

spring helm
graceful otter
#

yharim also gets information about the astral from draedon

brazen ice
trim edge
#

so yharim knows he's fucked up
and he lies to us about completely dismissing draedon after the pbg incident to appear more sympathetic

spring helm
graceful otter
#

commissioned him

#

see its different now

trim edge
#

i stopped making requests of draedon
uhhhhhh this wasn't a request this was uhhhhh

spring helm
#

"I NEVER WANT TO SEE YOUR ASS AGAIN DRAEDON!"
two years later
"Heyyyyy bestieeee...."

brazen ice
#

"You've come to my lab"
"Destroy my stuff"
"And want me to upgrade your armor???"

trim edge
#

yharim just can't get over his ex

crimson finch
#

I like to think of it as a “You owe me” like how muscle man has people who owe him

spring helm
#

owe him for what? Draedon fulfilled his contract in its entirety

trim edge
#

yharim didn't make a request of draedon, he generously offered him the opportunity to work with auric, and the armour was just a byproduct

spring helm
#

Not Draedon's fault that Yharim, despite the genocide and warcrimes, arbitrarily drew a line at enslaving animals

trim edge
#

auric quantum cooling cell requires mock attuned auric bars
does this mean draedon had access to dragon souls to design this

brazen ice
#

I want to see Draedon's actual 1v1 with the Terrarian goes like:
insert cool opening

"I've known alot since our first encounter. Now, witness the marvel of my genius, and prepare to die!"

proceeds to trip and fall to his death

solar wharf
spring helm
#

which allowed draedon to work with the armour

spring helm
spring helm
#

yeah

brazen ice
#

I am hoenstly curious what can he come up with since the Exo Mechs supposed to be his best creation that can rival the destructive capabilities of a god

spring helm
#

bro's not holding back with it

brazen ice
#

He fucking pulls out a glock when we get to fight him

shut tide
#

Mf holds a rifle and isnt afraid

brazen ice
spring helm
solar wharf
spring helm
#

since the phaseslayer is canon, i wanna see draedon hold it like Samuel Hayden at the end of DOOM(2016)

brazen ice
#

Speaking of draedon weapons
Why do ppl dismiss and never used/recommend them?

spring helm
#

they're not that good compared to other weapons

brazen ice
#

Isn't
Draedon supposed to cook up good weapons

spring helm
#

yeah

brazen ice
#

Why did he not cook

civic salmon
spring helm
#

fair enough

#

i'm not too knowledgable on the non-melee weapons

civic salmon
#

But yeah I didnt use any of them for my ExRev Ranger playthrough

#

I tried Anomaly's Nanogun for Exo Mechs but didnt end up clearing with it

#

I guess it kinda makes sense that the mass produced weapons arent amazing but

#

Gameplay wise kind of a bummer

solar wharf
#

gauss laser rifle ig isnt all that bad but its not really the best

spring helm
#

then again, even the tier 4 stuff was probably more than enough considering the strength of the average god

#

there's also cost to consider since you had to make enough equip armies

#

and the stronger weapons took more power, so you have to account for transportation of power cells too

solar wharf
#

i'd assume tier 4

#

weaponry

#

were for like

#

the elites of yharims army

civic salmon
#

Yeah probably just for the Godslayer knights or whatever

#

Or maybe they didnt even get made, just designed

spring helm
#

yeah the godseeker knights got the tier 4 stuff

#

i assume the tier 5 stuff is just blueprints that never got made (except his pulse rifle)
