can these $50 steam gift cards please leave this channel alone
i keep on thinking we're about to witness a cool loreful conversation
fierce pagoda
How's this for loreful?: What business is Xeroc attending to? after boss rush, they leave and says that they have business they must attend to. what are they doing? do they know about Xeroc? are there other Threats and tasks out there? where even ARE they?
are they in space or are they somehow also in the Aerie, unbeknownst to Yharim
hoary berry
i assume they are acting as a protector of sorts, scouring for external threats as best they can and setting up preventative measures in case of a second fovos of sorts
with those threats potentially including the distortion, and noxus within it (assuming they even know of noxus' exact existence, which i don't think we can really confirm)
though i do think they definitely know something is cooking in there
fierce pagoda
If they are really acting like a protector, then that would be sick, but why didn't they stop the other dragons from being hunted down? was it apathy, or were their hands full with something else that needed his full attention?
hoary berry
i don't think we have nearly enough information to make an educated guess
fierce pagoda
I like to think that Zeratros willingly gave his soul to Xeroc, because he knew Xeroc would be more powerful than them combined. and being so strong would allow Xeroc to do *something *that was very important for Zeratros.
but yeah you're right we don't have nearly enough info and context to draw any conclusions
pliant ruin
If they are really acting like a protector, then that would be sick, but why did...
noxus and xeroc superhero and supervillain relationship
noxus: you WILL lose this time...
(sends a devourer of gods)
xeroc: this is the 23rd time you send a devourer of gods after me
(xeroc kills it effortlessly)
xeroc: like, why
noxus: fuck you man
xeroc: fuck you too
(noxus makes a portal back to the distortion)
noxus and xeroc #1 haters of eachother
i like that one
proper skiff
I like to think that Zeratros willingly gave his soul to Xeroc, because he knew ...
I personally believe that zeratros wouldn’t give up his auric soul to someone since it gives the dragon the ability to be reborn and it was said that xeroc the monk unswore from his oath to the dragon to take its auric soul while it was weak

Yharim says this
proper skiff
Yeah
proper skiff
Yeah i know
hoary berry
what are yharim's opinions on gods? think about it
proper skiff
think about it for a little bit
I’m saying In my opinion zeratros wouldn’t give up his auric soul willfully
pliant ruin
Do we know that though
We don't know much about Zeratros personality
actually we uh
proper skiff
what are yharim's opinions on gods? think about it
He goes on a crusade against them
fierce pagoda
I wish Yharon could have really seen what happened that day, because Yharim got his info from Yharon. Or maybe Yharon did see it and Yharim is saying the truth for once. or maybe Yharon was dead during the time Zeratros's soul was absorbed
hoary berry
He goes on a crusade against them
and indiscriminately murders them and all of their followers
not the best source for unbiased information on a god's actions, surely, when he is so hateful towards all of them
pliant ruin
I wish Yharon could have really seen what happened that day, because Yharim got ...
I dunno if Yharon saw it and lied or if Yharon didn't see it and just had a biased view
hoary berry
it could be that he misinterpreted what he saw rather than lying
proper skiff
I mean yharon was just thrown into lava to die
fierce pagoda
Yharon doomed us all by lying to Yharim lmao
pliant ruin
Ya that too
fierce pagoda
but im inclined to believe the last part you said
pliant ruin
He could've just misinterpreted
fierce pagoda
he was just biased
and said what he thought to be the truth
as if it were the whole truth
pliant ruin
i'm still thinking about the idea that noxus and xeroc are just massive haters of eachother
proper skiff
Do you think there is a chance that at the end of this story yharim or the player absorbs xeroc’s auric soul?
rotund shore
isnt the ritual to absorb souls lost to time
and wait can you even absorb a gods soul??
pliant ruin
for one absorbing the souls of a god isn't really a thing in the lore
for,,, two??? idk xeroc isn't gonna get killed
for three yharim is gonna die before we get to xeroc
hoary berry
and wait can you even absorb a gods soul??
a god's soul is not an auric soul, so the ritual would not work, or at least not in the same way
fierce pagoda
There isnt any way of making a satisfying God transformation, so it just won't be happening
hoary berry
a god's soul is not an auric soul, so the ritual would not work, or at least not...
unless the ritual is actually not specific to auric souls and can apply elsewhere, but we don't know that
fierce pagoda
if you want to absorb an auric soul you could always download "hunt for the old gods" the goozma mod, it allows you to absors 2 auric souls
but it only gives stat boosts
random mulch
honestly
i think xeroc doing something even he thinks is reprehensible to do what he believes is good for the world is interesting
proper skiff
This is just an Idea I had so bear with me, what if the player fights and defeats xeroc and yharim last minute steps in and takes the auric soul becoming god himself needing for you to defeat him
pliant ruin
I just really like the idea that xeroc and noxus really hate eachother to the point it's comical
pliant ruin
This is just an Idea I had so bear with me, what if the player fights and defeat...
yharim is gonna die before xeroc
and also
hoary berry
This is just an Idea I had so bear with me, what if the player fights and defeat...
we will not defeat xeroc

xeroc isn't gonna be killed

we will pass a test given by Xeroc i assume
The test could be the boss rush

Yharim will be the final boss
Xeroc and Noxus r superbosses
so they come after yharim
they're like

also, once an auric soul is absorbed it's sorta lost
proper skiff
I guess yeah
fierce pagoda
no but seriously, when we finish Bossrush Xeroc is still like "nah youre not strong enough goodbye"
pliant ruin
Also i think Yharim turning into a god is like
random mulch
the auric soul and the soul it fused with cannot be seperated
pliant ruin
the most backwards thing he could possibly do but i mean tbf this idea has him killing a god to do it so even if it's impossible cuz you cant do that
it makes more theoretical sense than
him killing a dragon
proper skiff
the auric soul and the soul it fused with cannot be seperated
What about the dragons the people took the souls from to become gods?

Yeah yharim would need to get unironic memory loss to become a god
fierce pagoda
There's also talk about the devs never even making Noxus and Xeroc, we will have to wait for Yharim to be added to see if the devs are still interested in adding them
proper skiff
once an auric soul combines with another soul, the original auric soul is lost
But the auric souls were already fused with the dragons
random mulch
But the auric souls were already fused with the dragons
no
rotund shore
But the auric souls were already fused with the dragons
no, dragons naturally have that soul
proper skiff
Ok I see now
hoary berry
no, dragons naturally have that soul
for the record, i don't think it would be fully correct to say dragons naturally have an auric soul
fierce pagoda
when a living being absorbs an auric soul, its a lot like scrambling eggs together, they get mixed and turned into something new, but its then impossible to seperate them again, thus the auric soul is lost in that sense
proper skiff
When we mine up auric ore are we mining up the remains of dragon souls/body then?

xeroc: are we looking at the same thing right now.
noxus: ???? yes
xeroc: look man i know you hate me, trust me, i hate you too, but like, you usually send out the big fucking space worms. that's not what that is
noxus: i don't get it. it looks the same. why are you being so calm about this i'm a lovecraftian horror who wants to take over your world
xeroc: no man i'm not calm i'm just.

Have been waiting for somebody to comment on that
That was my own suggestion

"Costs an arm and a leg" is a saying
that jsut means
"This is really 3expensive"
If somethign costs a lot, you say
"It costs an arm and a leg"
The sorta joke being. Yeah, part of the cost was literally an arm and a leg.

Noxus will be a post-Yharim, pre-Xeroc superboss

I'm not a real gamer i just like games with nice stories and then there's like occasionaly times i'll actually Game and do Gaming but i guess that might be why

You can totally disregard calamity lore and just play the game
I don’t get why people get so stinky about lore
cosmic zenith
Everyone in the writer team, including myself, believes that gameplay should always take priority over lore
It's really upsetting to see people saying it's the other way around because 1. that's just not true, and 2. because we put in a lot of effort to make the lore as smooth as possible while giving gameplay 100% freedom to change
For example, if it was the most beneficial choice to the gameplay, you could turn Permafrost into a post-ML alien boss
We'd just have to cope and adapt the lore in the best way we can

to cater to a player base or any fandom is just kind of like
i mean idk just do what you want lol

I just meant as in keeping the lore kinda off to the side
For those who wanna see it
I’d love to see what the devs could do with world building if they didn’t have to worry about people complaining about adding too many story driven points
I totally agree about not wanting to deal with what a fandom wants
Cuz most of the time our ideas of a story are pretty ass

other than draetalk and the schematics there isnt really anything that makes me engaged with whatever lore

if you want more fast paced harder action and you're used to cal vanilla might feel weird in comparison
stark basalt
I haven’t played vanilla since then, and idk if I can go back to it
crimson finch
True
stark basalt
Cal ads so much excitement that vanilla has been lacking for me

Calamity has me addicted like crack

For a long time now

then again i'd say terraria probably isn't the game you should play if what you want is fast paced challenging action

i'm very curious about how the sunken sea overhaul will be, cause it'll kinda set the baseline moving forward

I mean, I’ve been playing terraria since I used to play console on my 360
I love the game

mod notifs used to automatically list everyone whose warns should've expired but i believe that was disabled because it was janky and usually just ended up listing Everyone who was warned regardless of how long they had been warned
no idea if they fixed it and brought it back since i stopped modding

what is the lore reason for gods not dropping auric souls when killed?
fierce pagoda
When an auric soul is absorbed it is lost in the proccess
it fuses with the human soul
and can no longer be absorbed again
fierce pagoda
also the terrarian doesnt know the ascension ritual
because yharon is the only auric dragon we kill
cloud ibex
though then, how come we get yharon's soul as bits and pieces ?
he's a dragon, not a god
as for why he drops fragments at all i'm not entirely sure
but it has been said these fragments are too small to affect him in any way even when you use them to neutralize auric ore to make an auric toilet or whatever
which is also why you can't do the ascension ritual with them (that, and the fact that you don't know the ritual and can't really find out)
spring helm
Headcanon, the Terrarian tried to yoink Yharon’s soul but didn’t know how to do it
So they only got fragments

It's just that alot of the stuff i see you asking just seems like things that apply less to calamity lore and more just to real life geology and stuff lol

Chat could xeroc beat god of hyperdeath
actually no wtf am I saying
god of hyper death quite literally cannot be damaged, he has infinite attack and defense
fleet marten
we assume that Xeroc = Nameless Deity right?
crimson finch
Xeroc feels underwhelmingly weak
stark basalt
Nah
rotund shore
we assume that Xeroc = Nameless Deity right?
iirc ND is based on old lore
so can't really be judged
old lore xeroc was like, omnipotent, new lore xeroc is just basically the strongest being
fleet marten
so it's hard to say because I don't have a reference point how powerful Xeroc is
tall delta
he can like destroy as small country fast
rotund shore
I guess for reference, fovos wiped out the dragons, and xeroc is stronger then that
pliant ruin
ND and Xeroc are separate characters
fleet marten
for example, ND would have a slight chance of defeating the God of Hyperdeath
tall delta
for example, ND would have a slight chance of defeating the God of Hyperdeath
idk maybe
rotund shore
I cannot describe how strong god of hyperdeath really is, its stats are quite literally infinite
crimson finch
Don’t say ND backwards
fleet marten
on the one hand, God of Hyperdeath has infinite damage and defense, but Nameless Deity is more capable of breaking reality
crimson finch
Pffff
fleet marten
Besides, God of Hyperdeath is literally an edgy child persona

god of hyperdeath is such a goofy final boss, for a variety of reasons
but MAN, I love that thing

What if Yharim opened Yharim land just like Walt disney opened Disney land
And you could dragon themed rollercoasters
And eat dragon themed food and ice cream
Would Yharim do that
I know i would if i was Yharim
Itd be like a propaganda rally to gain more supporters
spring helm
he probably would have called it dragon land or something similar instead
if it was during a time of peace, he might have done that
but the crusade was not a good time for yharim land to be built

Lol imagine if Yharim suceeded and all gods were dead, the he just builds dragon land over their graves

The lore items are Yharim speaking to you yes
Yharim himself is not a dragon
He became friends with Yharon after he rejected to consume his soul
They were both thrown in lava as a result, since Yharim rejevting the ritual was seen as a betreyal by other gods
swift wigeon
That was what the whole king of the dragons thing was about? He was meant to rule them but he didn't consume the auric essense?
fierce pagoda
But yharons egg cracked and he saves Yharim
Well you see when you consume a dragon soul
The dragon dies
Thats why Yharim sees it as a bad thing
swift wigeon
Yeah, it ends the cycle of rebirth, I understand that
So what happened to Yharim? Where is he during the whole adventure? Just watching?

Hes in the dragon Aerie

Right, and the last one is a challenge.
