probably the underworld's lore item
prolly ash and obsidian or smthn
realistically then stone, obsidian, ash blocks, and dirt
you could also use granite, or any other igneous rock
science classroom ahh question
🤓
I mean respectfully why r u asking here like
i mean
does like
real world geology count as lore
it's like
earth lore
i guess
like
real life lore
honestly i would say use blocks that fit the colour and aesthetic, rather than prioritizing blocks that would be found in a volcano
this is "lore discussion" not "calamity lore discussion"
so with that said
i will now be talking about limbus company lore
ping a mod and ask if it counts
ok calamity lore
so going off of tooltips the photoviscerator is too weak
its supposed to eviscerate everything...
when has this channel ever been about the lore anyway
tooltip scaling let's go
but actually it cant even hit calamitas through her shield
oh yeah why dont armor piercing accessories go through calamitas' shield too
"disintegrates everything"
thats the important part
oh well i know this one
the player character can only hit in 2D
calamitas just steps to the side

it probably works like Love Train, if anyone knows jojos
just a totally impenetrable barrier
me when i spin really quickly
Tusk Act 4, spin his balls
calamitas watching me perfect the golden ratio and breaking through her barrier to 
i will break through her barrier to say "sorry about ur shield i just think uve been through alot and you deserve it" and offer her a really tasty hamburger i bought from a fast food chain i like
beat her up (in self defence) and then apologize
nooo D:
heres how i would deal with calamitas:
- invite her over for an unforgettable luncheon
- set the food i was making on fire
- buy some burgers from the local fast food chain and disguise it as my own cooking
- brush the kitchen fire off as aurora borealis
- reject any attempts for her to see it
- eat some good old steamed hams
TERARRIAN!!!!! THE HOUSE IS ON FIRE!!!!!
calamitas watching me punch the bubble shield into subatomic particles
do the aurora borealis trick but its actually permafrost making an aurora borealis
Is Polterghast tied to the Spectre Bars that’s able to be crafted using chlorophite and the ghost goop?
alright i've reached the part where statis attacks Yharim
what weapon does the legendary ninja use
I would say dual daggers laced with poison made by silva (so it's special poison or something idk) but poison probably isn't the best weapon against someone in a full suit of incredibly tough armour
(this is this man's headcanon)
its unknown
Well yeah I thought we were just making suggestions since this is a fanfic
Gel darts
He uses the fruit cake chakrim
Statis actually uses the void sash as his source of damage
straight up just spams dashes until yharim dies
You see if statis wasn't dumb he would've used a ram and he would've been able to dodge dog
Could've kept all his limbs
no that'd be braelor's job
Statis should've waited until distortion update
Maybe he wouldn't need to lose his limbs then
Man, I wish we had the next update
did someone say catgirl
🤯
Cheese catgirl
fun factoid
both characters at focus within this gif could individually defeat every single calamity character at once

i'm not a powerscaler i just thik that's funny
go my lesbians
i'm hoping someone sees this message without knowing anything about madoka and questions it because it'd be really funny to explain how
anyways
good morning lore chat
i did not sleep
when i realized it was already 6 am it was too late for me
yharim eats raw beef
Raw fishrons
he thinks it makes him stronger because it's a natural diet but it actually just gives him alot of diseases
There's no need to question it they're simply ripped
The actual explanation is funnier than that
trust me
Good morning :3
good morning chemistry waterfowl
Yes
how many much women yharim has have had is he the rizzler with skibidi rizz and millon aura !!??
Do not.
😡😡 balls itchy

0
does yharim respect women
He was too busy doing murder and committing war crimes
and throwing people in the abyss
Did you know braelor likes ants 
yeah
Could this be why?
Nope
Eidolon Wyrms birth Eidolon Wyrms, Wyverns birth Wyverns, Follies birth Follies
The way I see it, only Auric Dragons entirely defy biology, due to their bodies mirroring their Auric soul
Draconic offshoots are highly consistent and could be categorized into species
Auric Dragons definitely weren't a species
There's a limited numbers of domains, hence a limited number of Auric souls
While all Auric souls were embodied, the children of Auric Dragons were birthed without Auric souls, becoming draconic offshoots
Nope
Offshoots are Dragons that aren't Auric Dragons
Can't really be the case, since it's confirmed that offshoots are descendants
And Auric Dragons came to be an indefinite time in the past, long before the dawn of mankind, while offshoots only first appeared in the late Draconic Era
stip loring those that simply don't understand like he does
(I'm just clarifying stuff)
true
@sinful adder @viral dagger @pliant ruin
Still curious about how dragon offshoots multiplied beyond first born individuals.
For example, if we have 2 auric dragons making children that, let's say, will be the first dragonfollies. So how will those follies reproduce? They can't do that with each other because that would be inbreeding, and in long run that would just kill the population. Would they instead mate with another unrelated auric dragons? Or another offshoots?
It's definitely a problem
I have a theory, and despite it probably being the only way to explain it, I don't like how it sounds
You know how I said Auric Dragons defy biology?
So, what if the members of an offshoot's original generation weren't siblings genetically?
I think you can see why I don't like the sound of this explanation
Yeah understandable
what does that mean
The first generation reproduced among themselves without it being classified as inbreeding
dragons are just built different and their inbreeding doesn't cause any problems
I can imagine that the first generation of offshoots can still have some strong genome from auric dragons, so they can reproduce with them. Maybe offshoot's own genes are stronger still (because they're more biologically "natural"), so they can reproduce with different auric dragons, and their kids still will be relatively the same and similar to offshoots.
Maybe like in invincible, viltrumites could reproduce with other races, and their kids would pretty much be almost pure viltrumites
||the first generations had a whole lot of incest, very common among other animals (and for some species technically not inbreeding genetic wise)||
It's not that
It's that while they have the same parents, their genes are really different
As if they were complete strangers
so greek god inbreeding
Not really
Greek Gods aren't ever regulated by genes
Which makes sense given that Auric Dragon biology isn't regulated by genes, and any offshoot born could have any genetic makeup
Even if they still have the same features, likely due to inheriting some anatomical aspects of their parents
but that raises a question, if 2 breed. What about their offspring the next generation
sure those 2 are genetically different, their offspring don't seem to be
Correct
It'd be more limited
so it leads back to inbreeding 💀
But I don't think the first generation was just 2 individuals
That would be really unrealistic
realistically they'd be able to repopulate with similar species leading to the current one (which would be the auric dragons, and the other offshoots)
or ig not similar, borderline identical until evolution takes it's course
I also imagine that the first generations of offshoots were more similar to each other in some way, so they probably could reproduce with each other.
With the exception of wyrms ig
Unless PW in its resprite will be very different from normal wyrms
tbh I think the offshoot thing def was one part skimmed over if you think about it between the lines
The intention is to keep them roughly similar
(Which ideally I think should be the case. It should resemble normal wyrms, but still be pretty distinct and different enough, more archaic and draconic I think)
Yeah, it definitely wasn't the most elaborated part
could an offshoot and auric dragon breed, another odd thing (hell, they could be equal ages instead of a 'drake' auric dragon)
I did give it thought, but just me I think
I personally would say "no"
dragon genetics will simply be "because magic" and it may need to stay that way
if an auric dragon and offshoot was born by the same parents, they'd be genetically unrelated when that's obviously (in a sense) not the case. Auric dragon genetics truly an oddity
There's always a fucked up possibility that they did went through inbreeding and somehow survived
Like cheetah maybe
It's not the best option from narrative standpoint tho
In fact it's quite bad
like bees
(they inbreed a lot, but genetically are unaffected)
how you do with this info when you have a royal bee oc will yet to be(e) seen
i just woke up whats up
oh are we still on the dragon species debate?
all dragons have auric souls, right?
no
why is that
is that why impure species were able to pop up?
because draconic offshoots count as dragons too
imagine this, if my father owns a gun, and im born, would i come with a gun? no
he has to give it to me
It can be stored
auric souls are like that
It can be manipulated
no
no
however
if you return it to the world soul, it effectively is
at least until you draw it back out with the ritual
auric souls dont come from the world soul
oh god
no my theory
where do they come from
if their not genetic they had to have been drawn from somewhere right
Yeah
i dont see a source powerful enough to hold all of those auric souls other than the world soul
the world soul became "fragmented" at some point
but we really don't know what it truly was or why this happened
Also btw how much has been theorized about the domain mutation when consuming an auric soul
It sounds cool as hell and I would love to hear others theories about it
the world sol being fragmented was probably why auric souls were able to be drawn out in the first place, no?
domain mutation when absorbing an auric soul depends on the person
Like their personality and stuff or?
yes
Interesting
how did xeroc know the ritual to extract an auric soul
they certainly did
i think its because it was discovered by the dragons when getting their auric souls from the world soul
it's not explained publically yet, but they certainly did learn too
I mean wasnt he a monk of the dragon cult? Maybe they had found out more about how the auric souls work
and did
unless he just happened to guess how to do it on the first try
could've been that zeratros explained it to them
that could reasonable be explained that the knowledge of taking an auric soul had been passed down by the cult through the ritual
no
why would zeratros end the draconic era like that
he isn't, the cult was a thing after people like xeroc I think
we don't know what really happened on the day that xeroc ascended
Oh damn
I got that part wrong then
he's not really cult like
he's a dragon monk a thing much closer then a cult member
does they predate them, I'd say yes
we have no clue as to the circumstances surrounding their ascension other than that stuff was bad because of fovos
if only we didnt have to wait a year for minor updates and we could get more information on this 
im pretty sure my world soul explanation makes the most sense
xeroc didnt worship the dragons, like the cult, but were actually close freinds with them
he was their king's bff
Maybe
Xeroc came up with the ritual
He was like
a dragon nerd
knows too much about the dragons
He clearly watched fovos do Something to fuck up the dragon and then he tried to recreate that and ended up ascending accidentally
Accidental godhood

I think Xeroc came up with the ritual, and is the first and only person to execute it perfecty
me when I cast a spell I don't know about
iridescent excalibur isn't a dev weapon anymore, so in terms of the materials we use to craft the weapon probably that? (requires both ashes of annihilation and miracle matter)
I'm gonna go with iridescent excalibur, it was recently changed to ashes of annihilation + miracle matter and not shadowspec
i was thinking that, but we dont really have a measure on exactly how powerful it really is bc its nowhere in lore
in terms of pure destructiveness probably supernova though
the player character is seemingly the first one to have it
If it receives no changes it will be strong enough to be able to take down yharim
that applies to a lot of weapons potentially
and definitely applies to miracle matter stuff
yeah your right
but we can still compare them to adjacent stuff and figure things out from there
and also consider the type of weapon that it is
i wonder what the best setup would be lore-wise, like armor, weapon, accessories
probably auric tesla and seraph tracers
demonshade will become a non-dev set armour in the future iirc
on par with exo armour
I wonder what the new shadowspec tier armor will be after the demonshade retier
both of which i assume will outclass our version of auric, which relies on mock attunement and therefore lacks auric rejection
the vanilla pre-hm weapon?
I really want a post yharim upgrade to blighted cleaver, I need tyrant yharims ultisword to return!!
they need to buff miracle matter items then add Ashes of Annihilation to the recipie
make them the canon endgame gears on par woth dev items
I think theyre fine as is
dev items will always be the highest tier i imagine?
yeah but theyre the best candidate rn
dev items will always be post-final boss, so post yharim whenever he releases
of course, have all the best gear at the very end of the game, then make it all non-canon
also the cosmic immiterializer summon needs a resprite
I wonder if shadowspec will be pre-xeroc if he ever gets added, since if he does it'll be a superboss
prolly pre xeroc, i cant imagine them getting buffed that hard without complete reworks
this is partly a joke, but also tyrant yharims' ultisword was a rad name I want it back
agreed
just throw some miracle matter and auric bars at it and tier shift the hell out of it
or make a whole new weapon
frankly i hope we don't end up using any of yharim's personal gear
or even any direct recreations of it
Fair enough, but I wonder what yharims drops would even be
i more meant that i wouldn't want to go around wielding a blade that represents the genocides of entire populations
Yharim drops exo auric plating
miracle matter is canonically the players thing, so i imagine it will be some kind of upgrade to that
A recreation of yharims armor would be nifty, since its clearly far stronger then our auric tesla
i can imagine the final tier of armor to be exo-auric plating plus miracle matter, with an auric design
i don't really see how we would manage that though
given that we aren't attuned to a dragon
and cannot be
yharim's armor is only stronger because he can auric reject people
the durability is the same for both, afaik at least
You just got auric rejected!! send this to your friends to absolutely auric reject them
It's in general a bit more stable
Our current Armor is already superiour or on par with Yharim, in a way. since its what we will be using to defeat him, so while not strictly better ours is on par
the worst she can say is no
auric rejection:
not necessarily?
^
Not really
Theres other armors that will be available, demonshade and exo armor to be specific
no yharims is definitely better, the player is just built different and good enough to beat him
It's not like the fight is an armor competition
Even if its better, id doesnt warrant us to upgrade, we kill him anyways
You can beat Yharim even with God Slayer armor if you want
The fighter matters more than their armor
Oops
You can beat yharim without armor if you really really really want
lol
Ass jumpscare
so much for that "better armor" when we are wearing an inferior version and still win
doesn't yharim's armor have upgrades from draedon or sum
yeah it includes exo tech
though to what extent we don't really know
iron man
but it does feature both the rejection of auric armour and the fancy pants tech of exo stuff, so it is incredibly powerful no doubt
Between not using a mock attunement and the exo tech, yharims armor is definitely stronger then our auric tesla
i think the final armor with be a combination of miracle matter, auric tesla, and exo armor (maybe also ashes of annihilation)
Iron man but instead of tony stark and jarvis it's yharim and draedon
The final armor set will be exo and demonshade
thats so underwhelming
our auric armor is weaker, but what about Exo armor and Demonshade armor? that's different from auric entierly, so they should be on the same level as Yharim no?
exo and demonshade are prob still weaker than yharim's armor
why cant you make armor out of air
aerialite
friendship armour
I'm making armor out of YOU
that is not air
🤓
Who would want to be worn by a STINKY
obligitory "accurate"
The terrarian is so strong, they can probably beat Yharim with no armor equipped. wait for Yharim no armor no hit videos
i'm fragile enough to literally be glass cannon armour. get hit and i will splinter into countless pieces sharp enough to slice your foes
martyrdom
will the dragon aerie be minable?
ok but whats stopping me from making armor out of armor
I hope not, would kind of kill all importance of the rock from boss rush in my eyes
That's just current Auric Armor
me oil drilling the dragon aeire
like imagine just destroying the entire place before you initiate the fight with Yharim
oh true
yeah is there a lore reason why auric armor requires other armors to craft
oh yeah that's just my exo mechs arena
there is no lore reason because mishmash auric will be shot dead in a dark alley in miami
What will the new auric tesla recipe be?
why in Miami
miami is fucked up idk
holy shit 
auric bars + tape + glue
Not my decision
Why doesn't calamitas wear armor, is she stupid?
12 auric bars per piece
will the magic carpet be removed from auric
too smol
how do you manage to misspell carpet that badlt
doesnt scal wear demonshade armor
it was
it was intentional
carpet + auric
She does wear armor it's just bubble shaped instead of person shaped
carp-auric
carpauric
carpet auric
understandable, have a nice day
how did YOU mispell badly that badly
bald
the keys are right next to each other
is there a chance that Yharim is bald
he cononically is
I mean, why not
he might be
bros hair got burnt off in the volcano
he could've gotten hair transplants done by draedon
but yeah his original hair is no more
he was dunked in lava as a baby i think his hair got destroyed by that
He's Bald and torturing people with hair
im looking at providence and uh hm where hair
the the only god he couldnt beat was xeroc, who was a probably bald monk
do you think slime god has tastebuds in his slime
collect a sample of every god's hair to create the perfect wig
roots count as hair
The roots 
ignore the concept art
like does he taste all the shit he consumes
s t o p
Yharim is just DougDoug (they're both bald)
I LOVE THE TASTE OF STONE
not literal shit but shit like as in "things"
GIVE ME ROCKS
^this mf discovered salt
do you think yharim refers to his troops as chat
shit (figurative)
does the taste all the flesh he consumes in the corruption
draedon prolly does
Draedon, calamitas and permafrost were just his moderators
But all got fired due to drama
calamity but its a dougdoug stream
Chat burn down this town of believers
not even my goat can escape twitter
We truly live in a society
if yharim streamed himself sucking at 2d platformers, I'd watch that in an instant
chat is this real
he rage quits and auric rejects his controller
yharim streaming would just be uncomfortable noises of a controller because he'd forget he's streaming
Is Yharim mainly a Puncher or a Sworder
i like to think puncher
sword
he punches swords
I mean he punched draedons jungle lab
and swords punches
yeah he just runs up with auric and throws hands
V1 speech bubble
you keep getting rejected
I imagined that as like, punching a sword on an anvil to forge it, which is kind of fire
can you reject the rejection if your strong enough?
he throws swords and punches the handles
with enough defense auric reject hurts less
as in not getting flinged away by touching it
Would be so funny if yharims contact damage actually does KB you if you don't have auric tesla armor equipped
So if you go gigatank it's theoretically possible
just having draedon's heart with the nanomachines on is probably enough
recreate the armstrong gif but with yharim and terrarian
Can I say the implication from thanatos' spine and draedons heart that we fucking ripped out parts of the robot to use as equipment is so metal
wow this got me thinking about the weight of our armor, how heavy is the terrarian liftig just by wearing auric
or pure platinum armor
Would Exo armor be heavier than Platinum armor?
WHAT THE FUCK IS A KILOGRAM????
We have not the slightest idea how much auric bars weigh, not to mention auric teslas armor recipe uses three other armors of confusing weights
doesnt auric float
the terrarian can carry a fuck ton of weight
9999 stone blocks is a fraction of their max capscity
terrarian arguable stronger than minecraft steve
Even just in vanilla, a full inventory of golden thrones is insane
is the Terrarians lifting strength canon tho or do we chalk it up to being gameplay
just gameplay really
although they still definitely lift stuff like exo blade which is massive
Have y'all ever like, dropped endgame calamity swords on the ground just to get a sense of scale with how massive it is?
Wait until the Exo Spear, will that be the biggest item sprite in calamity?
exoblade is inane
just gameplay but it's really funny to think that he can just carry 499950 stone blocks at a time without any speed penalty
yeah they stupid
yeah its a miracle we even hold them
Exo lance is definitely bigger
Bag of holding
and I assume miracle matter is one of the most dense things in the world
Miracle matter vs Pure Auric
it's probably like oobleck
Miracle matter is just silly putty
whats more potent
miracle matter is %80 mcdonalds sprite by volume actually
I love the miracle matter recipe, just canonically feels like the terrarian got a new crafting station and put together every crafting material they have
auric rejection is just getting hit with the feeling of a mcdonalds sprite
well yeah thats what happened lol
I'm hungry now
I want a mcdonalds sprite
My condolences
A yharillion grams
Yharim lifts the entirety of the dragon aerie
That would be so cool

i like to imagine he could probably heft around a large concrete building with enough effort
at least
how many extra accessory slots would yall consider fair?
Yharim is the average shounen anime grandpa
yharim looks like a jojos character
if he has hair at all
no its red if anything
i imagine it could be any colour he wants
So Yharim would look like an old, bald, jacked burn victim
Maybe he looks like that bald guy from metal gear revengance
Sundowner?
I don’t have image perms so uh…
Rahhhh
why is the popcorn cat warned
what
I was off topic on #calamity-update-talk
🤨
why are you replying to me with this im so confused
Just cause

omni how reasonable do you think this is for yharim
What's wromni
Not that bad honestly
Yharim lifting the dragon aerie would be worthy of calcs
no im saying like without gear
Idk
just yharim alone without anything
We don't actually know the size do we
Besides it being phat as phuck compared to normal sky islands
with armor and stuff then yeah obv like city level
Yeah
Has Yharim also eaten stuff like miracle fruit and elderberry?
I don't think so
or is he starving
yeah thats true
Also it's pretty fucked up how we ate actual human souls
Blood orange just has yharim's soldiers' souls in it
it was for the greater good
And we ate it
and it was delicious
The greater good (25 hp)
how can you expect us to beat ANY bosses AT ALL if we were missing that critical 25 hp???
defeating Yharim would have been a pipedream
Risk of rain players when they don't get bison steak (they're missing out on 25 hp)
ok but in ror that actually can matter
when
mom's spaghetti
Mass stands for m(ol)ass(es)
ass?!
that's right

Nothing to see here officer, move along
Popcorn ban speedrun
Can’t forget thighs as well 
You think Yharim gets freaked out when he sees the whole world being fully Corrupted/Hallowed?
azafurian
Does this imply racism lore
read the golem whisper to find out
the what
the
the golem lore item
he considers them "beneath him"
Yharim is racist to lizards
i wonder when yharim's sword is gonna get redesigned
or if it's getting redesigned at all
Well the one that is his sword in game isn't actually his, so it is getting renamed
I don't know if it has already though
His sword is still the tyrants blade thing
most recent ref of his actual sword is this thing
yhword
Yhupid Yhass Yhword
Megamind looking ahh
Dev confirmation
Yharim = Megamind
Truly, Yharon nurtured Yharim and that caused him to be bad, so Yharim's nature must be to do good
That would explain why Yharim saved Yharon, after all
hi lore people
👋
i mean that's most things in calamity isn't it
It would be a pretty good club actually, if it didn't fall apart from all the cracks in it
i'm sad
Most fantasy swords would be kind of practical if they didn't tear themselves to pieces, this one is both impractical in terms of dealing damage and impractical in terms of its going to fall apart
nobody questioned how the silly lesbians can defeat every single calamity character at once so i won't get to use my funny explanation
this is true
but also i think that is
alot of calamity weapons
I question
and terraria weapons honestly
So thee shall answer
Maybe the stone isn't doing any cutting and it's actually like a lightsaber style thing
And that's what it looks like when inactive
Crucible no w
sleeping and being gay is all i've done hte past week
That's impractical as hell but it's at least a single solid piece of metal and so it wouldn't fall apart. The Yhord is a pile of rocks that would shatter the moment it touches anything
That's my point, that it's even more impractical than usual
idk anything about forging but i think exoblade looks like
itd break as soon as you try hitting something with it
i can only see the lower blade part doing so, and thats only if it recieved blunt damage on like
the near end part
mostly because of the like
connection beetween the handle and the blade
its so thin
It looks like the axe blade has a hand and the hand is holding on to the handle
after doing some research and also finishing dark souls i can say that my previous claim is false to some degree
more so instead of an entire lore being a "reskin" it feels more like certain ideas were taken and then and cut up into smaller pieces and sprinkled amongst the original lore
which didnt really age all that well but thats more of a personal thought
i think the fact you still insist on being negative without seemingly knowing not only the full extent of calamity lore itself but also not even having fully known what you were comparing it with until now is pretty funny
saying the lore is just old lore with dark souls ideas layered on top of it seems rather negative to me
though maybe i'm misunderstanding
i mean is that negative or just true
because i will be the first to admit that it was pretty goofy to immediately judge but after researching (yes i do that) it definitely seems like the case
In all fairness i still don't know anything about dark souls so i can't really say anything
oh well
I highly doubt the lore is just Old Lore with Dark Souls Elements ontop of it but
¯_(ツ)_/¯
are there original ideas in calamity? yes, and that should be acknowleged
are they ALL original? ..no 
i mean its pretty easy to doubt an idea when you also know nothing about said idea yk
You said specifically calamity lore is old lore but with dark souls ideas on top of it
Which implies nothing about new lore is original
I see no other way to interpret it as
more so instead of an entire lore being a "reskin" it feels more like certain ideas were taken and then and cut up into smaller pieces and sprinkled amongst the original lore
mfw i have to meticulously explain every detail and gap so that i dont run the risk of being misunderstood
obviously new lore has original ideas but my main point is that a good handful of the ideas just kind of arent good in the way that theyre too similar to ds1 lore
and any ds game beyond that
that sounds more reasonable
theres nothing wrong with being inspired, but you also have to make sure what youre writing is original enough that it balances out
i'm tired all the time and my brain is bad at understanding people if you don't i'll die
a great example is salt and sanctuary
its obviously heavily inspired by dark souls but it also manages to tell its own story and do its own thing
Are you guys talking ablut calamity lore pr something else lore rn
clam lore
I saw dark souls being mentiones
dark souls is being mentioned, yes
Are you saying that Cal lore is similar to Ds loreå
I domt know enough about ds to see it
Dors Ds have its own abyss
I think i remember a DS game having a dlc named something something abyss
my main complaint is that alot of people will immediately shoot down this idea that i have while also knowing nothing about ds lore, which is just kind of juvenile
yes
And that players had to spend a week trying to fins the content
I see, well i cant really disagree or sgree since as you said i have no idea about ds lore
Hell yeahs
its just a general thought process that i see alot
gladly
im gonna be honest i dont even know how to attack this dish lol
theres definitely alot to be unpacked here
Waz going on here
Are ther any pararrels to the dragons and how they were sll powerful but now all dead
Clam lore is similar to DS lore
And were gonnna get examples
DS?
calamity lore is similar to
Darl spils
idk
Dark souls
Oh ok
Damn
basically the main culprit with why i think this is because in new calamity lore theres a great mass killing of dragons while in dark souls it tells essentially the same exact story, granted some characters are vastly different to their counterparts but the main premise is similar and this was not a concept in old lore to begin with
Why does being gay stop you🤣🤣
dragons and all this jizzaz in the new lore was pretty much absent iirc from the old lore and suddenly theres this new rewrite that is, while different still pretty similar to the main storyline of DS
im too gay to say anything that isnt gay
legion of people rising against dragons, guy that dragons trusted betrays them in sake of immortality
Cheesed Burger
i.e the story of seath the scaleless
I see, is this like just and observation or a critique of Cal lore
both
I mean tbf
xeroc
probably didn't betray them lol
betray zeratros in favor of becoming a god
the only person who says
Pretty sure it was a mercy kill
Xeroc was a bit silly that day, but we dont know why he was silly
is yharim
good moooorning
Biased as hell
that zeratros let xeroc kill him

Morning?! Where do you live
idk the actual narrative themes of dark souls
japan...
but i think its important to reflect that 2 stories can have the same basic premise
while still being vastly different due to thematic differences
like
again im just going off what ive read in the calamity mod/calamity mod wiki and what ive also read off the dark souls wiki/playthrough
again

i jest
i don't know what's going on in dark souls lore
and i'm not gonna disagree or agree w the notion it's the same general basic story
but
calamity lore is mostly regarding the themes of
engage in a small amount of trickery
You got me there
your origin dosen't define who you are a person, you're not born good or bad because of a specific background or species, your actions are what define that
anyway there are 2 options for how xeroc did the thing
either zeratros told him or he didnt
i think that he learned the ritual from his monk status from when the dragons originally got their auric souls
Maybe the concept of Dragons doing dragon shit, but then something causes them to go extinxt is just a cool as premise?!? Have you guys considered that??
then he used the ritual on zeratros at the aeire and took his soul
my main thing is i really only interpret this as what yharim is telling the player, because as far as i know theres nothing pointing to xeroc handing out a mercy kill or anything like that
Don't trust anything Yharim says too much

specially when the topic is Dragons or Gods
Waiter waiter! More extinct dragon stories please!!
LOL
the point what yharim is doing to you that "all gods = bad"
Calamity lore in-game right now suffers a good bit from the implementation of it
The only real sources of it are
yharim
bestiary
draedon
draedon on one hand is a very good implementation that i like alot and is probs the general quality standards for future lore
but
i mean i guess but then why implement this idea of not being able to trust what yharim tells you if theres nobody else to conflict the story he gives
That's not intentional
the mod is just unfinished
i can get down with lore rennovation but the implementation is just kind of wack
yeah i agree
Since the ONLY characters that act as a source of lore
r draedon and yharim
and draedon dosen't actively indicate to you or give you any reason to think yeah man yharims a manipulative bitch hes lyin to you
most ppl just
they need to make the dialogue options for permafrost and calamitas give more lore
How does Yharim even contact us, are we like in a discord call with him and he enters once a while to tell us about the boss we just killed
Because there will be people to conflict the story he gives :p
mod unfinished moment
hes kinda telepathic ig
Lucky guy wish i was telepathic
From what i'm gathering here calamity's basic premise almost seems like a twist on dark souls's basic premise if anything
It's incredibly dubious rn, which is why we'll rework the presentation in the future
Yharim blows bubbles, whispers into them, then sends them down to you
people start killing dragons and ascending to power
you are, thats why the player can grab items without their sprite touching them
Holy shit thats huge
but this time the people killing the dragons aren't actually the villainous force entirely
nor are the dragons really
speaking of draedon i noticed this as well but this is just kind of coming back to my original point of dark souls lore bits being chopped up and sprinkled about
draedons tale is also weirdly similar to seath the scaleless' tale i wouldnt say theyre the exact same but i mean personally i havent heard such a specific premise anywhere else
Why have i never thought of that!?
I mean
why isnt enchanting or exhuming mentioned anywhere in the lore its such a major part of calamitas
Draedon talk is just
verbose
alot of characters do that
it's a common way to make a character seem intelligent and calculating whilst also making them seem stoic or emotionless
yharim has a thesaurus open while writing lore items, while draedon IS a thesaurus
i dunno
i wouldnt go as far as to say the lores are completely identical im just not a fan of how incredibly similar they are
Yeah he’s a robot not a monkey
for the bits that are similar
same writer moment
like this thing speaks in verbose also
no?
What if like, while zeratros was dying he was like "xerox bro look, im fucking dying here, and uhh well there are some threats that need to be taken care of which i cant, since im dying n all, so take my soul and become all powerful and take care of these threats for me my G"
Tbh i really don't care if there's similar ideas
And Xeroc was like hell yeah omnomnomnom
as long as the thematics are different
Tyrian, Otonilou, Silva watching Yharim after he massacred all the evil gods : "well thats surprising you wouldnt think to come after us right?? rightt???"
Yharim : 
I said this before
uhh fuck draedon make a witty comeback for me
you can have two stories about a shark eating a sailor
Why would it be that important to the lore?
One can be a horror movie
It's a major part of her as an NPC allied with you
But the xeroc forgot to youknow stop all yhe lther dragonsouls from being sucked up
The other can be a fuckin. Comedy
id think it would be important that calamitas can imbue items with magic
Yharim would literally kill the God of Happiness and Peace
you should read the rocks tooltip
like for the crusade or something
did you know both of the characters at focus on this gif could single handedly defeat the entire cast of calamity
at once
power scaling moment
how does this allude to anything like
could they beat goku
ill stop talking
at all
Goku victims
Draedon could produce sufficiently powerful items on a much larger scale, without the dangerous effects of SCal's magic
its just a vague string of text that will probably make sense in later updates
Most verses get solod by Pokémon
I'm not even a powerscaling i just think telling people these 2 little gays can defeat the entire calamity universe is funny
read the last two lines and think of what xeroc had JUST experienced
and the actual explanation is even funnier
Does that really tell you nothing?
like
ok
do you see the pink haired girl
ok so you know god
like, god. not "god" as in the calamity definition or the one that most media uses of like a really powerful ancient being
i mean
like. do you know God.
still nothing
draedon left his service before calamitas, id think that yharim had calamitas imbue some things to test it
maybe not though
you see that pink haired girl? Yeah. she's God. Capital G. God.
im not saying it doesnt mean anything im just saying i cant really make a connection
What about that actually, Miracle matter weapons are just straight up better than exhumed weapons, they deal the same amount of damage without all the self damage buisness. Is that gonna stay the same
The weapons Draedon had supplied the army with were still available to the Yharmy
Anyways you see the black haired girl
is she satan
Probably not?
play character is the only one with miracle matter
How did you guess
shes black
yeah she's satan
That's a matter of balance
a giant behemoth suddenly comes into this world and the greatest warriors who have already reached their utter potential could not beat it. and you have no idea if another is coming
also i can understand the point that is being made here just
spoilers for madoka magika, a show that came out in 2011
idk i think its one of those things where you would get it if you knew ds lore
its pretty hard to articulate into a thought i must say
well yeah those are pretty big spoilers aren't they
as some things just are
but i mean
Calamiry enchanted exo weapons are just unfair, you cant even enchant exhumed weapons
i didn't think anyone here would be interested so
i mean i wish people were because it's the best show ever but what can ya do
which is fair
You get both miracle matter power + Scal magic power all in one
you cant???
im stupid
Nope
holy shit i never even realized
did not say which is fair thats a government psyop
Exhume is already an Enchantment
i thought this was obvious
funny bone worm lol
Oblatory subsuming vortex, most powerful non dev mage weapon
wasnt it said that it resembles an auric dragon or something?
"why cant i reforge my warding ankh shield and make it a menacing warding ankh shield"
or did i gaslight myself to hearing that
if auric dragons look like that i'm scared
Yes, it's a necromantic construct
You can just read its Bestiary entry for the exact lore
the metastasis description says that it could be what DoG could look like in the future, thats why im asking
thank you vetrasyl, i dont know what we would do without you
Not really
Vetrasyl me GOAT
I was thinking more from a balancing point of view, exhumed and miracle are equal, but miracle gets the edge since tvey can still be enchanted
check the 7th pin of this channel
That's just a common interpretation error
The way it's worded doesn't help it
While exhumed weapons are stuck in the state they sre left in
alr
LOL
exhumed weapons are meant to be stronger than average because theyre enchanted weapons
i thought so i forgor the bestiary
according to the bestiary cannoball jellyfish were used as cannonballs by marine militia
i think that's pretty funny
why shoot ball when shoot jellyfish
is that why rancor sucks so much ass?
Lmao
go my jellyfish
i feel robbed that we cant do that ingame
also laserfish are draedon robots there's that
it doesnt suck ass
it takes half my mana before the laser even happens
tbh it being the worst of the exhumes is fine since its also the easiest to avoid
Do you think jellyfish are jelly of slimes cuz they are actually gelly
just use a rail arena and rancor has literally no downside
Just use that mana burn accessory
chaos stone is such a nice item isnt it?
by the time u get rancor, chaos stone actually deals no damage
In the end though id still rather use oblatory subsuming vortex
Very good damage, homing, good mana usage
Rancor almost requires you to sacricice an accesorys lot for it
2 actually, youneed that automatic mana pot
that can just be done with stuff you would have had anyway though
Oh yeah right, but i use that anyways so
I didnt really count as sacrificing a slot
But in the end its all up to preferenve
Also according to the bestiary
i wonder what the lore reason is for the accessory slot limit
They are viable all the same
chaos stone doesnt actually make rancor perform much better
wrong, ima firin' mah laser
"Oarfish are known for laying thousands or even millions of eggs in astonishingly quick gestation cycles. These eggs are the most abundant source of food in the Abyss, being part of the reason even the smallest and least threatening creatures can live in the otherwise near inhospitable depths of the sea."
What if i just stole all the oarfish eggså
eww, i appreciate the worldbuilding but 
What would the dumb abyss animals do then
Wait why ew
egg tasty
caviar is the most overrated shit out there bro
