They might be implanted differently later down the road
you don't need the lore items to know that the slime god and providence, the profaned goddess
gods aren't a faction or a group of people working together
are gods
Well the lore whispers are going to be done in a less intrusive way then they currently are
this is not our fucking point
then what is
You don’t have to get aggressive
yeah the lore whispers are kind of stinky but that's not what i'm getting at
cause i really can't understand what you're getting at here
what i'm getting at is that i don't understand why the gods need to have something shared beetween all their designs that clearly indicates they're all related or whatever when not only they aren't but the only thing the player does need to know is that they're all gods and like
it says it right there
in their name
They just wrote everything so that every fucking god is guy absorbs dragon but that is just like, literally not connected in any way to their designs or presence in game
They ARE related, providence and slime god are both products of the exact same act with the exact same powers involved even if power level and domains are different
Ravager is a god and I doubt anyone would have guessed that if it didn’t specify in lore item
Yeah but that's like. Intentional.
But why should they be connected?
if its intentional its even worse
Ravager
is supposed
to not resemble a god
to the point nobody even knew it was a god until recently
that's the entire point
they already are connected because they're both products of the same act
It is a shambling shadow of its revived husk so I can kind of see why
Then again isn’t raveher getting a huge resprite
sorry but like where the fuck is this ever mentioned
It was worshiped and was revived in a mass sacrifice
They're only incredibly loosely connected. And even then. What would changing their designs to reflect that do? Make players suddenly Know that they all consumed auric souls? Even if their design had similarities nobody is gonna figure that out without text. At best it'd make people look back on designs after they got that information
It was a known and strong god
yeah and it is going to visually communicate the fact it's the sacrifice guy which is exactly the thing we're talking about
They’re products of a SIMILAR act. It’s still a different dragons soul, with a different person. Their powers are going to mingle differently and create something entirely unique each and every time. The gods body was adapted to deal with this new power. That’s why they look as different as they do. Xeroc was a powerful monk, with an extremely powerful auric soul. Thats completely different to whatever absorbed the souls from the dragon of gluttony, hence why slime god has a completely different, and disconnected design
that later point you make is awesome, that's awesome, it'd be awesome if people could look bad at slime god and see "oh yeah we get it now" surely you realize that is awesome
Design language is a real thing
You keep calling these things awesome but like
What do they change
I'm not saying they're bad to have. Like, sure, that could b neat, i guess. But does it really matter
Yes design language is a really thing
But respectfully everytime i see you in this chat you're being so incredibly nitpicky over things that don't matter
awesome
Just because something dosen't fit your very specific necessities that honestly really wouldn't change like, barely anything dosen't mean it dosen't have thought or quality put behind it
Things seem a bit heated here’s this
i think it would be cool if all gods had halos similar to Radiance halo
I'm not opposed to criticizing things. I've criticized a good few things to come out of calamity mod including some really recently revealed things. But there's a difference beetween providing critique and being overwhelmingly negative
well, generally similar
not exactly 1:1
halo that has some symbol to represent their domain
we're overwhelmingly negative because after a bunch of hours engaging with this thing it is more and more clear to us that it has so many issues
Half of the ''issues" you present aren't even issues they're just things you make out to be issues
Like yes
some things you suggest could be neat. could be cool.
anyways throudon youre so based thats so based
but issues?
I feel like we all have to take a step back and realize that this mod is still very much in development. Things need to change and things need to be expanded on. Once we see more gods, I feel like we’ll all have a much better idea for what the devs visions are.
We have two gods who are alive
ocean fish looks like a guy he barely looks godly its kinda fun
And the husk of one dead one
I wanna see how everything is implemented beyond concept art
Maybe hide the halo in the designs, like slime having it around the core and providence having a fire halo around the core? Idk, maybe a circle of broken jaws on ravager since it is a revived broken god
That could be neat
Idk just throwing shit out there
I’d honestly like to see more about their souls
It’s supposed to be unique
It could connect them though a radiant looking soul
Little unobtrusive sign that you would need to see and notice but hints at it idk
it's also kind of limiting that you have to design these guys around their current boss fights which is what we mentioned early so honestly who can blame slime god for being
hey wait a second why is providence designed like that
It’s not 1:1 with fire dragon
The city?
wonder if it had to do anythign with ice queen movement but its probable just that the crystal core stone body thing idea just grew out into what we have todayt he same way dog's designs have always been basically iterations of the previous thing
and like obviously at this point she's so big and stuff and the sprite is like fine so redesigning her is work nobody would be willing to do anyways
unlike for example polterghast who's already getting something else
we do wish the guardians would have gotten something else than they got right now but Oh Well
Braelor likes ants btw
do you think they have ants in the distortion, what if braelor is riding ants in the distortion
yeah
Worm boss
I imagine him empowering and then shooting his horns like lightning harpoons
his horns look like hell charge an electric ball too
the blueprints of the codebreaker were made by draedon right
because i was wondering wouldnt it have a code name since "codebreaker" seems a bit too simple for someone like him
maybe they were written in like draedon language that terrarian couldnt understand so they gave it the most straightforward name
also i imagine that weaver can casts not just a thunderstorms but also supercell clouds and tornadoes
“It breaks the decryption code of the schematics so it’s a code breaker”
the image of weaver flying amidst giant tornadoes is just so cool
with sickly green-blue-ish clouds and a lot of lightnings
Saw someone on Youtube saying that new lore made DoG pathetic and weak
Of course, I brought up my perspective
Including but not limited to
- Old lore DoG never even ate Gods, while nobody in new lore doubts the validity of his title
anything else?
like did they say anything substantial also we're legitimately curious here because like its obviously true it doesnt but
This video will showcase the NEWEST Devourer of Gods Resprite and Rework coming to Terraria's Calamity Mod. For extra information including God Slayer changes, Godslayer armorsets, the Distortion subworld and more check out my FULL CALAMITY ROADMAP:

In the comment section
There aren't many comments so you should be able to find it quite easily
thank you
Np
oh yeah we can see he's just wrong about what old lore actually was
although we would like to point out that this is basically actually the smallest point here because what a god is was redefined
i remember that in old lore dog in fact was described as weak, or immature, or borderline pathetic
like i remember looking through old lore doc and like there was a quote from some character i think about how dog can only be a real threat if he eats provi or something, and without that he's very immature and not a threat
i don't remember exactly but it was kinda frustrating because it feels like he was made weak and pathetic on purpose, which just doesn't feel right
It's still more validating than giving the boss a title it never lived up to
A being with a serpent’s tongue
he still can have serpent’s tongue and be an imposing and dangerous figure
reading this guy's comment reminded me how frustrating it is to argue in youtube comment sections
Arguing on youtube is probably worse than arguing on twitter
he's frustrated about new lore while talking about how better things were even though they were either A. literally never the case or B. FROM NEW LORE
Definitely
DoG is very powerful and intimidating but also kind of a snobby jerk which makes him seem a bit pathethic depending on your point of view but at the same time he was always kind of like that tbh
I just like new lore iteration more because it kind of doubles down on most of the traits he had in old lore whilst making him more like, grounded
wdk we dont think it matters too much, the same way we find yharim's comment on eow (which honestly just does straight up feel like an opinion of the writer) very silly
How so?
wtf im not warned
i wanna be warned again what rule should i break
Yharim's "erm well obviously eater of worlds doesn't eat worlds" feels like a comment that just places importance somewhere there isn't any actual importance, people can discern on their own that it's just a title and isn't indicative of the worm power level this is how we do titles irl so it's not weird at all
We feel the same about dog's title and sg's (came up a lot before the rewrite) it doesn't matter if they're not completely truthful representations of the self because we don't actually do titles like that
hammer
Man
Who cares honestly
This has the same level of impact as a speck of dust hitting the ground at 0,00125 meters per second
Okay? Did we say this is the most prominent issue in calamity writing or did we simple point a thing out
It's just that I been seeing you argue over pointless shit for quite a bit
And like
Do something else idk
We're not even arguing man
You very much understand what I mean
Yharim brings up EoW's title because it's the biggest example of a massive hyperbole, and then talks about how easily tales with even an ounce of truth spread, then comparing it to things that have been said about him
You just completely missed the point of what EoW's Lore Item is about. It's not saying his title is meaningless, it's about how facts can be distorted so easily
Rebecca "One Piece" Haguri has cooked I think
it got kinda burnt then because we never claimed that was the point of that item
feels like a comment that just places importance somewhere there isn't any actual importance
This was your point
You claimed that the item put importance in a place where there isn't, when it never does. It quite simply pulls an example you can see (Eater of Worlds, clearly not capable of eating one, still called so) to state a point (that half-truths spread easily)
he will be digitized
In simpler words, what EoW's Lore Item says is just
"The title this thing has is a massive hyperbole. This should show you that sometimes what you hear from the mouths of people is not always true, and infact this has happened with me before"
It never puts emphasis on the title being fake
It just says that it is to prove a point
The problem is that "pointing things out" as you say it often equates to you being weirdly passive agressive and negative over things you personally dislike that as me and many others have pointed out really don't matter
youtube's comment section rewards very interesting takes even more so than reddit
because dislikes for comments are nonfunctional since about a decade
YouTube comment sections reveals some of the most insane and deranged opinions ever
tyranny of the majority as a forum
Not anymore for me. It's always "whose watching in x year" or "can we take a moment to appreciate x creator"
Just braindead brain rot trying to get likes cause getting your comment liked is a massive achievement for some people
if i had a nickel for every person i've seen complaining about new lore in youtube comments while spouting the most incorrect and made-up shit possible i'd be rich
would the terrarian's relationship with yharim be considered abusive with how much he tries to gaslight them
i think the fact they wanna kill each other is more problematic
...is that a yes or a no
those first comments only apply to music videos
Considering DoG’s new sprite, do we have any idea who gave him the scar? It’s entirely plausible it’s not any character we actually know
Heart said it came from a fight in the past
my headcanon is that it's from Braelor
You think seeing that scar is what made yharim order draedon to make the armor?
That’s what was heart said iirc
That the armour was made so no scar would ever be made again
The last sentence on the bottom
Hes battle many gods, so its entirly possivle it's one weve never heard of
most likely yeah
If I had to guess, the devourer comes to fight us armour off because we probably don’t seem very threatening to him
Realizes he’s getting his ass kicked, and then phase 2 puts it on
I have no idea how it comes on and off though lmao
All we know is that it must of been a powerful god. Draedons entry specificly says the armor is made so DoG can "Challange even the mightiest of gods"
Knowing DoG, he got cocky in a battle thinking hed win easily
hell, it could've been ravager potentially
maybe the hit made DoG retreat before he could devour him
theres no proof of this im just spitballing 
We know ravager is a powerful god. since sometime in the future hes gonna be retiered to be post providence
and thats when hes in his revived monster form. Imagine what he could of been in his prime?
Ravager was the god of sacrifices yeah? Original dragon was dragon of death? I can’t imagine that not being strong tbh
My mind just conjured the image of DoG entering the Distortion or whatever's on the other side of the portals in his fight, and then hurriedly trying to get his shit together so he can carry on fighting you.
Well the DoG fight is gonna take place in the distortion once the update comes out
It would atleast be very offensively strong
Maybe during the new fight we see his armor on the floor, then he quickly gathers it for his second phase
What I imagine is that he goes through a portal and the top and bottom of the armour pieces clasp together for each segment rapidly in a row
Dog just teleports into the armour
How they gonna make the new fight work? Hes to big for AA DD AA DD AA DD
How are we actually going to access the Distortion by the way? Through Ceaseless Void?
AA DD?
thats how you ram dash
i guess we'll just have to dodge him instead of simply brute force dashing
the first area will be accessible through ceaseless
which is basicly required for his fight, especially in infernum
the DoG area will be available through one of his portals
Infernum is the one with the lots of ramdashes, current cal dog just kinda floats there mostly
eh ram dashes help ALOT for basecal dog
Yeah but they’re not needed
Its convient
DoG hurts like a truck if he rams you
nearly one shot even if most optimal setups
Unless they make the aegis dash like 1.5 screens long then idk how ram dashes can even be useful for the fight
Does death still have the codes to oneshot no matter what?
nope, was removed awhile ago
:(
but im pretty sure with ontier gear, you can't tank master mode head hits
When they add the new on I’m like certain the head will oneshot again regardless of armour
Just eats you
Im pretty sure you can tank a master mode dog hit with draedons heart and an otherwise maxed tank build
but with on tier stuff it just does too much
Doesn’t solar or beatle win in tank with the strong as hell set bonus of 40% damage reduction?
solar was nerfed in cal recently
Oh
because it was fucking busted
What does solar do now
was meta until post yharon for reference
I think damage deduction in calamity is multiplicitive, not additve
mostly the same
I’m pretty sure that’s the case in vanilla aswell
it does the same stuff, just weaker
they just nerfed its stats
I usually see tarragon be suggested over solar now
I did not know that, did that make melee like the best class until post dog or something?
Lunar armor in general was busted
summoner was the best class overall, as it has been for awhile
still IS the best class overall
Yeah with whips
even without whips summoner usually has the best killtimes
Well calamity whip mod isnt really... balanced well
ranger has some insane killtimes but thats just due to coin gun and sevens striker, which are statistical outliers in my mind
same with sand gun but to a lesser degree
Didn’t know sand gun was good
Just set up a good money farm
I mean its like 30 damage with high attack rate
Such lore discussion right now
pre boss, too
So like a mid point between mini and mega shark
34 damage with evil sand, as well
Eh as long as a mod doesnt come in we're fine
yeah
thats some real "it isn't illegal if we don't get caught" logic
but yeah back to lore
no no keep talking about sand gun
what is yharims diet plan?
Eat honey and cultivate bees
But it’s advanced pocket sans techniques
i have this NORMAL GUN that shoots BULLETS
that does less damage smh
Well that’s boring
thjats cuz terraria sucks and is stupid
The stupid part I can agree with
you ever had your skin sandblasted
how many npcs are canon criminals? obviously arms dealer due to illegal gun parts
Throwing being ranged damage except for the times where it’s melee or mage
if someone shoots you with a normal ass gun i dont think youre gonna be saying "wow thats so boring you should shoot me with sand instead because its so much cooler"
because you'll be DEAD
Goblin tinkerer is a criminal to the goblins
Bandit
Is well
Lmao
it's in their name
Yeah
calamitas is a criminal of war
Permafrost by extension probably could be put on trial
I can fix her
shut up
But im sercretly bob the builder
bob the builder is cringe he can't fix calamitas
i'm hitting you with a big hammer
wait no
i'm shooting you with my gun that shoots bullets and not sand
Hear me out, what if calamitas fixes herself, learns to better herself on her own without the help of john terrarian over here
Would archmage permafrost? He did commit the illegal act in yharims territory of leaving peacefully
I’m curious why wearing cosmilite armour doesn’t just give you immunity to almost every debuff the way it does for Devourer
real answer:
Draedons the no 1 eco terrorist so he def criminal
You could just say gameplay and that’s like fine
draedon is a criminal but also who is gonna prosecute him
in-universe explanation that is definitely not canon but might aswell:
dog's immunity probably dosen't come from the armor itself and more so because
Simple, we wearing a much smaller piece of armour then dog, dog gets like 5 metre thick plating we get two inch thick
Phase 1 should be immune to armour break and crunch since it has no armour
Honestly I assume phase 1 Devourer will now be hurt by a lot of debuffs
He probably thought he could beat us easily, so he went in without armor. then when we survived more then a minute, he realized "Oh shit terrarians got hands" and quickly equiped his armor
Except ichor, it’s used to god blood
if ur not wearing any armor u can still get the debuff
doubtful unless they figure out how to balance debuffs on worms
So real
debuffs on worms are horrific
That’s the original reason they’re immune to debuffs
abyssal amulet + veering winds right click on its way to explode desert scourge in like 2 seconds
not any lore thing
i think it would be very funny and original if sand gun had a hm upgrade that was called glass cannon
like yu get it
Yeah, depth amulet on desert scourge proves that itself
That’s actually really funny I didn’t even consider that
But it makes sense
Just divide the amount of debuff damage by the amount of segmants
And so rare
The design is very worm
like 8 (6 if you count exo mech as 1 boss) bosses we fight are just from draedon lowkey he feels like a really big threat
He is a really big threat
Yeah alot of bosses r draedon's creations somehow
It’s just that the only thing he will ever worry about is advancing science endlessly
Draedon could wipe the planet easily if he wanted to
draedon is also part of the reason aquatic scourge is the way it is
exo mechs, pbg, astrum aureus, mech bosses (though tbf mech bosses only partially)
ehhh disagree
aquatic scourge isn't mutated i don't think
He could easily fix most ecological damage from the nano plague and sulphurous sea
this guy’s cooking
it's just a normal fish worm guy
Thats why yharim was terrifed by the existince of the exo mechs. even if theyre not quite as powerful as draedon claimed
i hope well get to fight him again in the futute for some proper stress testing
iirc exo mech fight is just we contact him and hes like thats weird lets throw my new toys at this thing
i doubt other aquatic scourges from outside the sulphur sea look much different
which is kinda funny
I think draedon just may not know of Xerocs power and thinks it’s weaker then the mechs
exo mechs r his strongest creation
exo mechs took him years and years to make
he won't have a stronger creation any time soon
and we aren't getting any new bosses beyond yharim so that's not gonna happen unfortunately
isnt it that we create miracle matter in the fight with exo mechs?
also yeah that
by all means
draedon could make smth stronger
and its almost guaranteed he will eventually if he wants to
Weren’t they made for the terrarian to challange? I doubt it’s more then a year when we get to exo mechs
I think with a few re iterations of exo mechs, he could get them to surpass yharim in strength, but by the time he makes them, yharim won't be alive
they were made to rival or surpass yharim in power
not specifically for the terrarian
miracle mechs? 
draedon def can make smth stronger than exo mechs
it just will take a rly long while
like
rly long while
Is there a reason draedon hasn’t gone to space yet, other than having no reason?
mostly since space travel is costly, and until the events of the game, the moon in particular was rather unsafe to go to
he doesn't want to
I think most of the time may have been growing the Thanatos body armour cause growing that thing to perfect specifications sounds like it took the most time
there's still things to discover in terraria
which he plans to i believe, according to draetalk
He has observed the astral infections though
he does plan to eradicate the astral infection from all of reality and the universe
No.
and also yeah
he dosen't really want to leave the planet yet
alot of stuff for him to do here
Thats what i thought
so while hes probably gonna do some space exploration stuff soon according to draetalk it'll be like
i will respectfully kill you in real life if you make miracle mechs.
Draedon would rather 100% this planet before space travel, to put it in gamer erms
exploring the moon for minerals and stuff
Draedon is simple, if he sees no scientific or resource gain from something he will not care
But why not send out satellites or something
he's thinking of doing that already
Wonder if he'll fine anything cooler then luminite
Oh i see
again, he wants to explore the moon for resources according to draetalk
or smth like that anyways
i will kill you direspectfully
Would draedon know how to make miracle matter though, he does have sensors and trackers on the prisms and I assume forge so would he have stolen the recipe from us?
It doesn't appear he would have much use for it, considering the strongest of arsenal gear far outclasses what you can do with luminite
doesn't matter
i think he does he talks about it with you iirc

get here looser 👊
Yeah and he says it’s a dumb name
How far can draedon see into space, because he can study a lot of those worms that eat the astral infection, and those are far apart in the universe.
you can feel the "how is this idiot so smart" energy
draedon HATES all the names you give to things, I adore it
he's only willing to even chat with you like this for the potential this info he gives helps you in terms of the fight with yharim
Draedon becomes a third superboss after seeing what we named things in the distortion and from xeroc
I forget, is xeroc their real name
Well I assume Xeroc will drop stuff
I think
May be a moniker like Calamitas but I think it’s their name
And thus we name it
yharim says yharon said that's what they called themselves upon ascending
A whole lot of he said he said this
That’s basically most of our sources though
while it is kind of a game of telephone with such info, its not like yharim has any motive to lie about it
For everything
i mean yeah
unlike other things, where he very much DOES have a motive
its not like the name has much significance afaik
The name is like the one thing he has no reason to be biased against xeroc on
Everything else I will assume he is 99% bias and 50% straight up lying when it comes to xeroc
i had a devious idea for a message in this convo but it was probably not very appropriate lmao
share it for the vine
okay
what if xeroc means like big dick in ancient dragon language or something
that was not what i was expecting at all
huh...
I mean stealing the soul of the dragon king for yourself would clasify as a 'Big dick" move
i wasnt expecting that one
dude is there a book series or something how do i learn the lore
you can check the lore document in the pinned messages for everything in-game
yoo allright
desert scourge was a sea serpent???
this look fire
dude im hyped
What you thinking of the lore so far?
so far i like it alot
it fits my vibe
hell yeah
it kind of reminds me of percy jackson a little
i get unreasonably happy when i see someone discover how fun this lore is
so true
i get genuinely happy when there's positivity in this channel
its surprisingly rare
yeah im a lore nerd whenever i start playing something :P
and this one is so far in my top 10
Understandable it can be nice flavour
literally me with every game i play that has lore
Nuclear bees
Left side of the perforator lookin devious
I have never noticed that
That god is loving it in the pain and madness that being in perforator brings
Even in base terraria they are funnily enough
One on the right looks like they hate it
Though cal does take it to the extreme of it with crabulon
I couldnt find any good base lore for terraria
so i dont know alot about it
vanilla terraria lore isn't treated seriously
There’s very minimal lore for base terraria
most "lore" in vanilla is shitposts red says, or bestiary
like it was literally made up as a neat thing for an anniversary
Like half the enemies in the mushroom biome are overtaken by mushrooms
Bestiary is basically all the lore
and even then, most of it is completely useless
(for vanilla that is, cal bestiary is really cool)
calamity treasts the bestiary alot more seriously
and has some of the most raw lines imaginable
Like the gold and gem critters just being copy and paste
Nuclear terror bestiary is simply 🔥 ✍️
provi and guardians entries my beloved
I gotta get a look at that
god yeah they're so good
Oh damn yeah nukter is a good bestiary entry damn
kill
kill kill kill kill
kill kill kill killkill kill kill killkill kill kill killkill kill kill killkill kill kill killkill kill kill killkill kill kill killkill kill kill killkill kill kill killkill kill kill killkill kill kill killkill kill kill killkill kill kill killkill kill kill kill

calm down creature
rgb reimu (i think, i dont know toehoe)
ya thats reimo
touhou is cool but I am NOT good enough at bullet hell for it
The profaned guardian bestiary entry’s be speaking liek it’s some religious texts
i have touhou 16 on steam
its fun :3
wait actually is it 16
i forgor
i'm not super good at it or anything i never got to the last stage but its not that bad
like its not as hard as it seems tbh
Would beating eternity mutant in under 10 attempts count as good enough to start?
yes lol
depending on the touhou game they can be easier or harder
but in general its not as hard as ppl make it out to be i feel atleast for the ones that arent batshit insane
||4 hours straight fighting martlet||
it took me like, 25 attempts?
my bad
25 attempts spread across a few days
meanwhile pacifist final boss that i first tried
paci final boss is a bullshit nohit, not a super hard fight
granted i did fight the geno final boss at midnight
yea but i still see people struggling
Alot of people don't use the dash enough
hardest boss ever is this guy
yeah true
the dash is free I frames, use it!!
they dash once and mind immediately wanders off
sorry i lied thats actually yur
wrong
i can squish it
turn into paste
then put into blender and drink
why would u do that :( im just a girl
consume
thats so mean
cheese smoothie
What does it do
lower detection rate from abyss enemies
i just wish enemy detection was clearer
sometimes they'll just... see you
give them like a sound effect when an enemy spots you
moonlord having such detailed eyes certainly distresses me
i think its the regular eyes that make it worse
Yeah its just normal ass human eyes
no i mean
All the eyes should be the normal human ones
its a deadly combo
Maybe amidias could give tip hints if you press help,
fovos looked at the dragons like that and most of them instantly perished
Fovos weren’t much stronger then it is now but that look
that extraterrestrial rizz
all fovos lost was the rizz
Yes
if it still had the rizz then it could wipe out most of Terraria
i do
i have to get like a billion different items to explore the abyss anyways os might aswell
what things are yharim actualy scared of?
dungeon cleaning
the distortion is fucked up I cant blame him
other than that we haven't see anything in particular that actually scared him but
its not like hes fearless so im sure he fears other things
All we know is that almost everything related to it is stronger then moonlord
He's stronger then most things, and he realistically doesn't fear xeroc
so not much we really know hes afraid of
wait what gods created crimson and corruption?
the specifics aren't know, just, an assortment of evil gods
And only one entity (storm weaver) isn’t some eldritch abomination or a mountain sized behemoth that is the largest boss in modded terraria I’m pretty sure
so what is exactly providence and why didnt yharim killed her?
providence was too sneaky to be killed
Providence is a strong god, yharim just never got to killing her
yeah maybe cause her presence was mostly in the underworld
and him and calamitas probably arent to popular there
calamitas and brimstone elemental burned down the capital
Yharim didn’t do anything to fuck up azafure
providence basically just blasted parts of yharims army, and then made a swift retreat before they could actually harm her
honestly providence is one of the biggest threats to Terraria during the events of the game, thank god we killed her
Well calamitas was trying to stop brim
yeah i still dunno how the heck an army that bringed down multiple gods cant fight golem
true
that was
old lore
Old lore
we talked about this the other day :p
that part of the lore got modified
Golem is just a weird mechanical idol of the lihzard god that abandoned them
everything did lol
oh yeah i forgor
His army doesn't even interact with golem in new lore, he just leaves the lihzahrds to their own devices
so they dont camped down in the jungle temple
Yeah like one elite soldier could wreck golem I’m pretty sure
Nope
then where were they?
they were nomadic iirc
didnt the elite soldiers get the tier 4 arsenal equipment
tier 4 is post ml right?
just jump around it
like the first tier of post ml
post provi
ye then they could def kill golem
But yeah yharims strongest soldiers could eviscerate golem
golems a lad
Like cosmolite draedon arsenal is the elite soldier right?
cosmilite stuff was never given to yharims army
draedon kept it to himself
it has some projectile and a detachable head, comprared to a fairy queen or a queen bee with mgr addiction its not that good
Then it was Uelibloom arsenal
well
they come later in progression
so
yeah
pbg and empress are stronger than golem
but golem is still pretty strong
underworld schematic decryption message
golem is an honestly quite impressive creation on the lihzahrds part
golem is stronger than all of draedon's creations minus the exos and pbg
as far as we know anyways
and like
like why didnt yharim tryed to stop the nanovirus from infecting the whole damn jungle
it's nowhere near as advanced
i don't think he can do that
well
the plague isn't stoppable, really
maybe if he killed pbg
he could eventually cause it to recede
since it's the primary source
but it'd still spread
thats the point
Even after PBG dies, would realistically take ages to go away
not literal ages but yknow
the only person that really can stop it is draedon
the way draedon talks about the plague seems to imply that he can just stop it whenever he wants
but he dont wanna
but prob not just to mock yharim
even if yharim really wanted to get rid of the plague, its not like draedon owes yharims any favors, much less such a big one like ridding of the palgue
Draedon fucked if yharim finds out draedon can just disable the nano virus
nah draedon's not petty like that
draedon just wants to see how far the nanoplague can evolve
no reason to ''mock'' yharim
ye
hes not petty
he just dont wanna
he wants to see where it goes
draedon will keep the plague as long as it gives fascinating data
he's really not
and who knows how long that'll be
i don't think draedon was ever threatened by yharim
or when he gets tired of it
also yeah draedon rly isnt
fucked
yharim cannot do jackshit to him tbh 😭
just threaten draedon to stop it honestly
killing draedon simply isn't feasible
destroy a recon body?
Didn’t it take ages for draedon to make the Exo mechs, I’m sure yharim could beat them
wait where did draedon gone after departing from yharim
draedon himself though uhhh yeah he ain't doing shit to him
"Draedon, if you don't shut off the nanoplague I'm not going to throw it back for you anymore"
his own lab
just to his own secluded research, I assume in a far away lab
ye
Yharim will pull up the moonlord face
probably just the lab he woke up in
On his auric phone
bro has the best gaming chair teleporting from place to place
Like
That’s on a separate planet
no matter how strong yharim is
No
whar
I thought
he's not gonna be able to kill draedon
I may need to re read the draedon log
its from draetalk
Yharm would be a huge hinderance
it's kinda crazy that Moon Lord's presence stopped Draedon from going to the moon considering that he can make robots that would eviscerate ML
Meant that
I imagine he didn't want to risk damaging his finest creations with smth like that
I'll be frank, draedon likely didn't know how strong fovos currently is
wait i dont understand something, so desert scourge was an aquatic scourge before, then why theres a s big strenght gap between the two
maybe he just thought he'd not be this weakened
but is well aware of how strong they once were from history books, not worth the risk, really
it wasn't
if i had to guess, he didnt want fovos to fuck up the world
they aren't the same species
aquatic scourge and desert scourge are entirely different, they're just related
Draedon didn’t know the state moonlord would be in, do t think anyone did, what if moonlord was full power? Everyone would die before Xeroc stops it
oh
think like
alligators and crocodiles
desert scourge was part of a seemingly now extinct or almost extinct species of sea serpents that lived in illmeris
yeah they share similarities
aquatic scourge is a oceanic species that as far as we know is doing pretty good
but they're different
moonlord alr have a 50% discount on his body, i dont think it would be on full power
Draedon does not want to take unnecessary risks. He would not be able to know how strong Fovos is, so he would prepare to be at least as strong as Fovos was before investigating the moon
Yeah i imagine that's why
He couldn't know exactly how strong fovos was, even if it was weakened
Who’s to say people could see that moonlord was on the 50% discount?
people havent seen moon lord in like a millenia
i know cosmilite is stronger than luminite but i am curious to see what draedon could do with it
fair enought
So he wouldn't risk his finest creations in fighting it, specially when i doubt going to the moon was his priority rn
wait so moonlord is fovos?
Limonite seems to be quite reactive to celestial magics so it may have some uses beyond cosmolite
Yup
yeah they're the same guy
Fovos was the name given by dragons, called moonlord cause it was on the moon and is strong
noxus was created by absorbing an auric soul to right?
i don't think it's stated the dragons gave it the name fovos, just that fovos is the name it was known by at the time
nope
we know nothing about noxus other than it lives in the distortion and is dog's master of sorts
noxus is a guy
we know nothing about noxus as of now
its not a god
ah
but it's . in the distortion. and its really strong. like really strong
a guy but really really strong
the distortion is like the gap between dimensions or what
we don't know exactly what it is
but it's not exactly another dimension entirely
atleast according to devs
it's a really really old place
seems to be more of a pocket dimension type thing
based on draedon's research
noxus or xeroc is the stronger?
xeroc
not another dimension
a pocket dimension
xeroc is the strongest character in cal
reasonable
they're DIFFERENT!!!
i think cheese meant it isn't necessarily an entirely separate thing, just hidden away from the rest of our dimension?
ok who knows scp 106?
IT'S THE ETERNAL NIGHT THAN PRIMORDIAL LIGHT BANISHED I TELL YOU I'M NOT CRAZY THIS IS ALL ONE BIG CONSPIRACY BY XEROC HE KNO-
xeroc more like uhm cringe
gasp
old man
i would say pocket dimension is a place thats under the control of a being and has some gaps connected to reality
man i finna realised the pic on dokuros spotify songs is the DoG
i feel so f dumb
So we know that xeroc has the power to channel primordial light which is what makes him powerful
But there's another character that can do that, empress of light
Think there is a connection between the two?
It is said she is sickeningly obedient
So I think it may be like a profaned guardian providence situation
But Xeroc gives even less light
Then prov does flame
It says she can still channel through the stars
Even then it is a smidge of a tiny speck or something
No, the lore item says it’s only starlight at night not primordial light
Would be cool but I don’t think many can talk,
Providence is one I think of
Due to lack of intelligence or a lack of the vocal cords
Oh yeah I can see her talking
Maybe the profaned guardians too
Yeah
We know yharon can speak
They told Yharim the story of xeroc
Ah right
Hard to do that without vocal cords
Yeah fair
(unless it's a telepathic backstory)
Yharon doesn’t seem to be able to do telepathy since it’s a rebirth fire pheonix not a telapath dragon
Maybe anahita and brimstone elemental?
They aren't confirmed to be able to talk but it's not to far of a stretch if that was the case
Yeah
Maybe empress of light and moonlord too?
Though brim def seems like they would be silent in sorrow, if you have boss checklist the boss defeating everyone message hints at them regretting the massacre of azafure
Don’t think moonlord would, not enough flesh, doesn’t seem the type and I doubt we can comprehend what it says
If there's any boss that will get dialogue in the future, providence should be the one
Maybe it can give some backstory of why she's so nilalistic
Yeah that would be cool to have
I don't really see
the boss checklist message to be really
indicating that
I mean it could be interpreted as that if you'd like but that's more so headcanon material
I imagine provi will get alot more backstory once her human design and etc drops
But idk if she'd talk to you
She seems a bit too
murderous to really want to talk
I can see her talking but i can also see her literally not saying anything not because she can't but because she's 105% focused on killing you and dosen't bother giving you as much as the right to hear her voice
From the wiki “the elemental ever maintains her sombre vigil over azafure* sombre can mean sad
somber just generally means something gloomy or melancholic
it dosen't necessarily mean
brim is sad over her destroying azafure
it can be interpreted as that but saying it's outright hinting as that is a bit of a reach
Im sure the calamity gooners will treat her human design with respect
I’m sure they have already done stuff to the inhuman fire rock form
i mean they won't but whatever
i'm desensitized to it at this point it's better to just
ignore it
The internet will internet might aswell just ignore it cause it will happen either way
Don't they plan on overhauling that design too?
Looks pretty detailed and nice so I don’t see why they would
They will ye
Provi's design isn't bad and the sprite is pretty recent buttt i can understand why they'd want to change it
I don't think it's a bad design but it can definitely be changed given it's a bit cluttered
theres gonna be a big rework of providence and uelibloom
Like it's not bad but it can be better
Unless it comes with a revamp I think the re design should probably be low on their checklist
there are no plans to at the moment
also no it will be a removal of uelibloom with it being replaced with a more appropriately themed item set
Regarding bosses that can talk
I think alot of bosses could theoretically talk in some way but they just don't
There are though, aren't there?
They’re focusing on a fight for their life
Quite a few bosses, especially early game are just instical animals or monsters against nature
Human provi + Provi redesign
Yeah alot of them are just irrational/animalistic
but even alot of the ones that are sapient i feel probably just wouldn't really bother talking to you

The only prehard mode boss that may even have the slightest chance of talking is slime god as he seems to have some tactical inteligence. but probably doesnt have vocal cords to talk
human provi isnt gonna be in game and afaik there are no plans to actually resprite provi, pretty sure thats just for fun
Human provi is nto gonna be ingame ye but theres also gonna be a provi redesign
Like the one u actually fight ingame
would be cool
Slime god i imagine can definitely talk or atleast communicate somehow
I think there’s plenty of bosses that can be respected before providence
Like i don't think they have vocal chords but like
The very existence of gods already defies any semblance of logic as is so
I feel slime god can shapeshift the cords to talk
I don't think they really
nor rlly
yes i know im saying as far as im aware that redesign is for fun and not actually going to be in game unless its another scal situation
need to have vocal chords
so they dont defy logic
or nature
neither do black holes irl
Neither do not godly biological beings
I don’t think devourer follows laws of biology
Where talking about logic in a game where you carry 5000 tons of gold
like i dont think having vocal cords or not matter for a god's ability to speak or not
given slime god theoretically was a person that turned into a ball of goop that seemingly has absolutely no human traits whatsoever
and it can fly
and it can manipulate slime
i mean
a few of them arent even biological (see: provi) 
so its not like following the laws of biology is that important
They can just magic the sounds into reality
ISnt she just made of rock and molten magma?
most of the pre hm bosses are either irrational evil things or animals so
And holy fire
ye other than slime god
i don't think any of them would be able to talk
hardmode it gets a bit more interesting tho coz i totally believe brimmy and anahita can talk
no clearly eow would be able to 
i ASSUME silva can talk in some way
given she had like worshippers and i ASSUME she communicated with those worshippers somehow
I assume she can
Well silva is still alive technically
plus i ASSUME that braelor being her champion and all that probably is atleast amiable with her
so it's like
if silva can talk why wouldnt the other elementals
earth definitely cant because yeah
Ancient eidolon wyrm didn’t kamehamaha her into nothingness when she fell so I assume she convinced it to not do that
earth is a robot guy tbf he dosent count
What about the mech bosses?
Well
There's nothing to kamehameha
she was already dead
"dead"
and i don't see why pw would do that
it's just a big fish guy
it don't care
probably
Those are also interesting
They're sapient
But like
idk if they can talk or not
Doesn’t it hate gods, it certainly would fight xeroc despite the strength difference
It hates primordial light specifically
yeah
I think thats what silva intended
Considering silva literally blessed it it probably dosen't really outright hates gods
Though according to the bestiary entry, it doesnt stand a chance agaisnt xeroc
I think having them not talk would be fitting
Given
They're god knows how many souls of murderous war criminals crammed in robotic bodies
Like these guys are basically just polterghast lite
The mech bosses are 59 skilled terrorists inside a mech suite to make them even more lethal in their specialisation per boss
If polterghast could speak, it would be 100 voices speaking diffrent things at once
The bosses drop like not even 50 of their souls
What about signus?
Signus is a tricky one
We know legit like
nothing about that guy
I am of the belief signus was once a human or atleast a mortal that somehow turned into a distortion beast but that's 100% headcanon with little to no actual evidence
same to say ceasless void can't. and storm weaver seems for more animalistic then the devourer
Ceaseless isn't even alive so yeah
storm weaver is another case of we barely know anything abt it
I don't think we can even solidly say if it's animalistic or not
We do know a bit thanks to draedon
We know that he could be even older then the devourer
But we don't know if he serves the distortion or just vibed there
I’m pretty sure everything if the distortion serves it to some degree
well we know it's not part of the distortion hive mind
so i imagine it's either just doing it's own thing or it's a special case like devourer
tbh we don't even know what noxus is let alone if it can talk lmao
Im pretty sure it can
