Compared to a person

scenic olive
#

XD it would be funny if he lost to slime god because he ate too much

glacial rampart
#

moon lord guy is dead

#

james a janisse reigns

hasty dragon
#

Guys I found this weird big cosmic worm in my yard

#

He’s asking to make a deal with me

#

What do I do?

woeful patio
#

Feed him godly essence XD

woeful patio
#

D.O.G

#

Dawg

maiden girder
#

What even is wulfrum and who made it all lore I found about the machines and the weapons made from the stuff say nothing about who made it all I know is that the many forces against yharim probably used it

mighty zenith
#

there's no concrete answer on who made it, just that their creator was against yharim

#

they're really not that important, they're quite primitive robots just meant to be disruptive to wandering soldiers

maiden girder
#

||who is the traitor mentioned in the exo mechs lore item||

mighty zenith
#

That'd be xeroc

#

yharim really loves calling him a traitor

hoary berry
#

the god of primordial light

maiden girder
#

Yep I assumed

#

Xeroc

#

The hungry fellow

#

Guy just wanted to eat a soul

#

And those soul fragments look nice so

#

I get it

hoary berry
#

we don't at all know if xeroc really is a traitor who betrayed zeratros, or if they only acted in accordance with zeratros' wishes

hasty dragon
#

The dragons look yummy

hoary berry
#

we can't really trust yharim here because he's tied for the most biased person against xeroc we know of

mighty zenith
#

our only source for it now is an extremely biased asshole (yharon)

maiden girder
#

I wonder

hoary berry
#

i'm really bad at typing today ngl

maiden girder
#

Was there a god who hated the others

mighty zenith
#

well

hoary berry
#

gods aren't one big faction or anything

hasty dragon
#

I understand why xeroc SUCCed zeratos

mighty zenith
#

it's possible xeroc regrets what they caused

#

also you've got providence wanting everyone dead so

frozen zodiac
mighty zenith
#

i guess that counts

maiden girder
#

Yeah does xeroc still hold power so

hasty dragon
maiden girder
#

We may fight xeroc

#

And maybe win idk

frozen zodiac
#

HE IS REAL TO ME

woeful patio
#

But.. but John Calamity?

mighty zenith
#

like straight up

#

we stand no chance

maiden girder
calm patio
maiden girder
#

But even then xeroc seems to hold some form of honour unlike the others

frozen zodiac
#

xeroc is capital G God now right

calm patio
#

no

hoary berry
calm patio
#

lower case

mighty zenith
#

nope

hoary berry
#

the first god, but not the creator

maiden girder
#

Xeroc might fight us for a bit of a laugh

#

Give us some stuff and leave

#

Because xeroc is ancient and probably quite bored

frozen zodiac
#

"good job, you got me to use more than 5% of my power, just go now, take this item and leave, come on, shoo"

mighty zenith
#

primordial pulse

maiden girder
#

If the inevitable yharim boss spawns a town npc after getting beaten

#

If there’s a xeroc boss

#

After that boss I just want all interactions with yharim to be complete and utter rage

frozen zodiac
hoary berry
#

yharim will die in the fight

maiden girder
frozen zodiac
#

you do not let a tyrant that literally killed the essential gods of the world live after leaving the world a complete mess

mighty zenith
#

no i just want him to get fucking decapitated

#

I MEANT FUCKING

maiden girder
#

Xeroc just gives yharim a fucking backhand

mighty zenith
#

i hate my brain sometimes

calm patio
#

no

#

yharim wont be a npc

#

because

#

i said so

hoary berry
#

if plans change drastically and yharim lives i will make a mod to kill him myself

maiden girder
#

The yharim backhand will happen

frozen zodiac
maiden girder
#

No matter the cost

calm patio
#

i caught none

frozen zodiac
#

you missed the size 2

calm patio
#

instead of xeroc

frozen zodiac
#

the size 2 is out there

maiden girder
#

I drank all the crate potions

frozen zodiac
#

its somewhere

#

i have to see it i have to know

trim edge
maiden girder
#

They just leave a mess post death

frozen zodiac
#

i mean siiva and maybe some other one i was just saying he doesnt deserve a second chance

maiden girder
#

Silva is a barely alive god in the abyss

#

Idk if the abyss is Silva now or she is floating around like the god version of a geriatric

#

My plot didn’t go to plan anyway

#

I tried draining the abyss

#

I accidentally drained the ocean on that run anyway

celest kettle
#

Silvia

maiden girder
#

I bet yharim will live

#

You don’t kill someone with that much guilt

hoary berry
#

he doesn't really have all that much guilt

maiden girder
#

I want to buy stuff from the guy ok

#

He has cool armour

frozen zodiac
#

he will be decapitated sliced one thousand times shoved into a meatgrinder thrown into a black hole and more

hoary berry
maiden girder
#

He wasn’t very happy with the dragons getting eaten to extinction so

#

I understand the havoc he caused

frozen zodiac
#

me decapitating yharim but realizing i have to take out his gross head from his helmet (i want his helmet and armor as vanity)

maiden girder
#

But killing all the gods is ridiculous

#

At least some would be reasonable

split mortar
#

You’re assuming he is reasonable

#

He ain’t

maiden girder
#

He is a very very specific environmentalist

#

And at least he wasn’t happy with draedon or somethings plague

split mortar
#

He wasn’t due to it being like how cruel gods control others

maiden girder
#

He didn’t want to eat a egg I guess

mighty zenith
#

and did absolutely nothing about it

maiden girder
#

pgb?

mighty zenith
#

plaguebringer goliath

split mortar
#

Plague bringer Goliath

maiden girder
#

Should of killed draedon on the spot

hoary berry
#

couldn't have

#

draedon won't die from killing some random body

maiden girder
#

The guy is a bloody ai

#

Who would of thought

split mortar
#

Killing draedon js like killing the current plague without the off switch, too much too everywhere

#

And as long as one body remains healthy can come back probably quickly

maiden girder
#

Uh I was thinking

#

What would a non astral aureus look like

mighty zenith
#

good question

maiden girder
#

Because a star borne hive mind

mighty zenith
#

aureus' design is pretty damn weird so

maiden girder
#

Definitely would modify some big ass robot

mighty zenith
#

i cant really imagine a non-infected one

maiden girder
#

It’s def modified

mighty zenith
#

i definitely think there wouldnt be fire

split mortar
#

Def no flames

frozen zodiac
#

why do all of draedon's weapons look so rusty

mighty zenith
#

the legs would also definitely be more metallic

maiden girder
split mortar
mighty zenith
#

they're like the only thing that looks organic

split mortar
#

Except for Exo tech he doesn’t care that much about the other tech

mighty zenith
#

aureus will get a redesign anyway since
well, the sprite is amazing but the design is all over the place

maiden girder
#

Aureus is def more than steel circuitry and silicone

split mortar
#

Cause Exo tech is just utterly beyond all other tech he made

frozen zodiac
maiden girder
#

Mana and flesh

split mortar
#

Probably no gem eye things either

maiden girder
split mortar
#

Or the astral blue spikes with the fire

maiden girder
#

I would love to fight regular aureus robots

mighty zenith
maiden girder
#

Maybe a land mini boss

mighty zenith
#

also probably the colors would just be different, since the ones aureus has are the two main astral colors

#

blue and orange

split mortar
maiden girder
#

The infection needs more than mechanical parts to see so makes sense

mighty zenith
#

like the ones on the bottom of the legs are definitely not from the uninfected design

maiden girder
#

It is a hive after all

mighty zenith
#

but the rest could be feasible as potentially scanners

split mortar
#

Yeah

maiden girder
#

The aureus is flesh and metal now

#

A bio mechanical horror

mighty zenith
#

since like
aureus' sprite in-game definitely doesn't reflect how he actually looks

#

his legs probably look more like metagross in an X-pattern

maiden girder
#

And dues or whatever it’s spelled is another worm boss

celest kettle
maiden girder
celest kettle
#

Its not like the infection can grow meat or smth

mighty zenith
#

i dont think its flesh, rather just physical manifestations of mana

celest kettle
#

It ain't crimson

maiden girder
#

Either way aureus is buggered beyond repair

split mortar
#

Maybe it’s just how the astral looks

maiden girder
#

Wait I got a idea

frozen zodiac
#

anyways uhh astrum deus whats their lore

celest kettle
#

Yeah

maiden girder
#

Hard mode infected draedon tech for the corruption and crimson

maiden girder
mighty zenith
#

unfortunately it didn't get to one fast enough and it managed to get infected

split mortar
#

Deus is just space worm that eats stars before they become infected, ate a infected one and chucked it at earth and got controlled

#

Also possibly a species

maiden girder
#

Yeah one worm doesn’t make sense

#

Some guy going space worm your the only one tasked with this important and quite Herculean task

#

Welp I’m gonna go

#

Cya guys

#

Discuss lore

split mortar
#

Bye

mighty zenith
#

bye bye

split mortar
#

What would a not infected deus look like?

frozen zodiac
#

is deus infected though?

split mortar
#

Yeah

mighty zenith
#

yea it is

split mortar
#

That’s the entire reason it fights us, controlled to protect the astral star

mighty zenith
#

deus doesnt seem to be mutated though

split mortar
#

We uninfect it

hoary berry
#

the current deus design does not fit how i envision it at all, so i can't properly put my mind to work imagining a non-infected version of the in-game sprite

mighty zenith
#

yeah

split mortar
#

Ah ok

mighty zenith
#

the astral bosses just need a redesign to fit into the

#

"mutated extraterrestrial monstrosity" thing

split mortar
#

Yeah

frozen zodiac
#

yharim you mf you literally say the worm is doing the world a favor by eating dying stars and you're still saying its a piece of shit that needs to die?

split mortar
#

He does say it needs to die?

#

He litteraly says thankfully it’s likely not truly dead

#

It ain’t an actual god so his super racism doesn’t activate

frozen zodiac
#

"kill the bastards"

split mortar
#

Where that said

maiden girder
#

I feel like xeroc is technically the monk and the dragon the monk took the soul from I forgot the name

split mortar
#

Zeratros

pliant ruin
#

Yharim dosen't hate astrum deus

#

nobody hates astrum deus

#

astrum deus is a friend to all

#

everyone loves the space worm

mighty zenith
#

scrungly

maiden girder
#

Zeratros and whatever Xerocs name was are probably the same thing now

frozen zodiac
#

i want an astrum deus plush

pliant ruin
#

legit not a single character in the lore expresses any form of disdain to deus and its one of the ONLY two bosses you actually actively spare

maiden girder
#

They are one now

pliant ruin
#

this worm is literally just a friend

split mortar
#

Pretty sure all gods are “technically” both since they absorb the soul and become stronger, though the one in control is def the monk

maiden girder
#

I mean proper fusion

#

Would explain the remorse

split mortar
#

That’s not how the ascension ritual works I’m pretty sure

maiden girder
#

And it would be hilarious to see yharim get a history lesson from xeroc

buoyant inlet
#

Speaking of astrum Deus I drew a little interpretation of it and its life stages

#

All big sketch

#

As you can see

pliant ruin
#

i like to headcanon that xeroc gets a little zeratros ghost only they can see following them around

buoyant inlet
#

Deus represents a life of a real star

pliant ruin
#

it's silly

split mortar
#

Otherwise I’m sure Xeroc would have explained it at some point that it’s basically both dragons and monk

frozen zodiac
#

SCUG

split mortar
buoyant inlet
#

Astrum Deus that got infected was at supernova stage of its life

buoyant inlet
#

Nah

maiden girder
#

Xeroc might of done it differently somehow

#

Perhaps the other gods did it worse somehow

buoyant inlet
split mortar
#

He did get a perfect ascension but we know silva did aswell and they stayed the elemental not some fusion

buoyant inlet
#

And their pups look like proto stars

split mortar
#

Is this official?

buoyant inlet
#

Nah

#

It's my interpretation

pliant ruin
#

no it's throudon's interpretation

#

ye

split mortar
#

Still cool

maiden girder
#

I mean it’s a species so

#

Needs a life cycle

split mortar
#

Yeah

hoary berry
#

it might be a species

#

we don't know for sure

split mortar
#

Surely it is, it was gone for a while yet no other stars are infected

buoyant inlet
#

Baby deuses are defenceless and vulnerable so they glue asteroids and comets together into shells

hoary berry
#

i agree that it probably is a species

#

but we still don't know it is

split mortar
#

I’m going to side with draedon saying it’s a species

hoary berry
#

same

maiden girder
#

draedon no matter how scummy is still a genius

#

Can’t be denied

hoary berry
#

no one is denying that

pliant ruin
#

i'm smarter than him

frozen zodiac
pliant ruin
#

i'm denying it

hoary berry
#

but genius =/= infallible

pliant ruin
#

i think he's stupid. compared to Me

split mortar
buoyant inlet
#

I'm stupid compared to a sea slug

split mortar
#

Unless xeroc or noxus know

split mortar
pliant ruin
#

me

buoyant inlet
#

Me

pliant ruin
#

because i'm really smart

pliant ruin
split mortar
#

Oh nice

buoyant inlet
#

Either way I'll be leaving now into my little break from cal servers (I just wanted to show my art)

split mortar
#

Aight bye

whats dragon soul bond called again

hoary berry
#

attunement

#

we perform mock attunement to allow us to use auric bars by making use of fragments of yharon's auric soul

split mortar
#

This also means if yharon punches us we could go flying far

#

what did draedon do

wheat walrus
#

he infected bees with the plague

earnest flare
#

cant believe draedon was cancelled

trim edge
#

he's draedone

potent moat
#

Ok so since azafure is where the industrial revolution began in azafure does that makes azafure the equivalent of great britain. So in conclusión calamitas is british.

earnest flare
#

that was obvious

#

her voice in sbc is overly british

potent moat
#

Make sense

pliant ruin
#

SHE

#

IS NOT BRITISH.

#

LEAVE HER ALONE.

#

I WILL NOT TOLERATE THIS SLANDER

earnest flare
#

hating the british is based iirc

potent moat
sly bloom
#

Doesn't she have a British accent in the DM Dokuro theme video

earnest flare
#

thats literally what i said

mighty zenith
#

yes thats what was just said

sly bloom
#

I may be stupid

mighty zenith
frozen zodiac
#

i still want to hold my headcanon voice that makes dog british because i imagine him having Metal Face's voice from xenoblade 1

hoary berry
strange stump
wheat walrus
#

Na

rotund shore
#

Headcanon, permafrost is british and calamitas got her accent from him

#

permafrost gives off british vibes

magic epoch
#

Polite British but yes

spring helm
#

i think it would be really funny if calamitas had a cockney accent

frozen zodiac
#

question
why is INFESTATION in a part of Clone Calamitas's theme
is it supposed to be a semi-direct allusion to her guilt of burning down Ilmeris or did DM just choose an iconic calamity song and put it in

#

as in "her" guilt i mean actual Calamitas's guilt maybe Clone Cal being a Clone led to her also having severe trauma and guilt from the real witch

split mortar
#

Clone did go insane form her power so maybe idk?

urban hedge
#

I mean, pretty sure she has 0 connection to Perforators, hive mind, Slime God, or the Aquatic Scourge but iirc all of their songs have some kind of leitmotif used in cal clones song

#

iirc it was done that way to make it feel something like a culmination of everything you've done or feel like a false ending or something along those lines

#

I'm not sure

rotund shore
#

yeah its usage of all the leitmotifs it does is mostly for the sake of feeling climatic

split mortar
#

Certainly does feel climactic

jaunty wraith
#

Isn't cal clone meant to be the final boss of early hard mode? Since she has a song playing after you beat her

pliant ruin
#

It's just haha a buch of boss themes from before

jaunty wraith
#

Think yharim will have similar idea. Being a collection of motiefs for the second half of the game

frozen zodiac
jaunty wraith
#

It's also at the half way point through the game

hoary berry
#

okay i'm literally addicted to this song

pliant ruin

lose some weight idiot

spring helm
#

I bet that dragon doesn’t even have an auric soul

#

What a fraud

untold bluff
#

Does draedon play video games perchance? (serious question)

#

Or has he at least made some

#

I mean, the lab workers need some form of entertainment

rotund shore
#

I don’t think video games really exist yet

untold bluff
#

I'm sure video entertainment at least exists

spring helm
#

Draedon will invent video games

#

Just like how he invented autism

rotund shore
#

He invents autism, and then subsequently stuff to hyperfixate on

#

Do trains exist yet?

real silo
#

excavators are kinda trains

woeful patio
#

Draedon probably makes video game just for improving his robot AI

real silo
#

Draedon designed a boss fight irl

split mortar
#

Draedon might make a video game just to see how well he can simulate the world or something

real silo
#

Draedon's favourite games are cad softwares

rotund shore
#

Conspiracy theory, the game terraria is just a simulation of the world that draedon made

spring helm
#

there are rails

#

so perhaps the more technologically advanced parts of the world (just draedon mostly) would have trains

ionic harness
#

Wasn’t Azafure quite advanced?

#

Maybe they had something

spring helm
#

they were industrialized

#

it wouldn't be too much of a stretch, especially since trains are good at transporting the necessary materials for industry

#

unless they used magic, but i'm not sure how involved magic is in Calamity's technological evolution

ionic harness
#

This is the world building I need

split mortar
#

Like I doubt one scrap can be turned into 40 scaffold blocks with just tech

ionic harness
#

Magical crafting

spring helm
#

well now you're crossing into the line of gameplay vs lore

ionic harness
#

The ui is what the terrarian sees when crafting

split mortar
#

Unless you decide otherwise

spring helm
#

an iron sword takes 8 ingots to craft, which is a bit much

split mortar
#

Maybe a bar being 2 foot cube isn’t exactly accurate to canon

#

That or it’s us making mistakes and getting a usable sword at the end (but then how can we make anything of draedons if not a basic wood sword)

spring helm
#

well for that Draedon's Forge can be said to be doing a lot of heavy lifting

split mortar
#

What about miracle matter weapons which would not be defined in its database ?

spring helm
#

who else is looking at the lore doc

#

i see you

split mortar
#

Hello

spring helm
#

whoa

#

fish

split mortar
#

We’re discussing magic and tech

sinful adder
split mortar
#

Granted a sword we use is like 2.5 metres long so they def ain’t normal sized swords

spring helm
#

terrarian is so bad at refining ore that the ingots are the size of school erasers

sinful adder
#

Also, the swords in terraria are the size of a- yeah

pliant ruin
split mortar
#

I think except for basic early game tech most of the tech we use has some form of magic in it

#

Hellforge using magic to reach higher temps as an example and the titanium adamantite forges being us refining the forges as examples

#

I wonder if Exo prisms fall under tech, magic or mix of both

spring helm
#

both probably

#

no way that infinite charge the sea prisms carry isn't magic

split mortar
#

Especially since it’s divine origin

#

Yeah prob both

spring helm
#

it's kinda crazy how pretty much any schmuck could make their own psuedo Draedon Forge if they got a hold of some exo prisms

#

not like you could get those easily but

split mortar
#

If you did it would be easy

#

I wonder if us making miracle matter just looked like us putting some random things in the crafting part and pressing craft and then boom scientific discovery

#

Wait would us naming the Exo blade the Exo blade when it’s passed Exo and is miracle matter give draedon more confusion like the mech bosses did

spring helm
#

the terrarian couldnt come up with a better name

#

since iridescent excalibur is now a miracle weapon too, we can say that they ran out of cool sword names

frozen zodiac
split mortar
#

Sims with rtx

spring helm
#

now that i think about it, neither cosmilite nor luminite are used in making miracle matter

#

i wonder why

spring helm
#

my mouse broke so i couldnt use mspaint for this one

#

the terrarian inventing stable miracle matter

scenic olive
#

miracle mattress

spring helm
#

sleep in a bed of material that will dissasemble you on the molecular level

draedon, i need me a bed that makes me automatically find the long side of the blanket

#

not everything being super detailed aside from the hand

spring helm
#

hands are hard to draw

#

the hand looks accurate i think

sleek panther
#

Crucial lore question: does anahita not have a mouth or is that just how the sprite looks

i think she has a mouth

#

plus that one sticker of her has a mouth

#

True

north wigeon
barren sonnet
#

ah, i forgot about the emojis

spring helm

i thought the ??? bait sang ngl

sinful adder
#

that's just anahita in a disguise or something

and it does sing

probably

#

a very huge and bulging trench coat

visual bane
#

a suspiciously leviathan shaped trenchcoat

delicate oak
#

what if yharim existed in real life and he has an army?

sinful adder
#

He wouldn't do anything because there aren't any real gods

north wigeon
#

can yharim wipe out mostly-US Christianity please

calm patio
#

so, most likely yharim would do somethin

rotund shore
#

He’d just be a really diehard atheist with an army

sinful adder
#

Yeah I guess. I still think he'd lose if he tried anything, because he's not stopping a real life nuke

#

Not even calamitas could do that

lone moss
# sinful adder Not even calamitas could do that

Neither would Draedon's creations, because however "indestructible" the armor plating is to any weaponry imaginable, wielded by Terrarian, I doubt it can survive a direct hit from 1+ MT thermonuclear device.

#

It's not surviving an environment equivalent of IRL star's core, sorry.

thick slate
#

we already had the nuke convo

#

yharim and everyone below dies

#

everyone above lives i think

#

xeroc tanks a nuke ez

earnest flare
#

actually nobody tanks a nuke even the weakest nukes ever made deal millions of terraria damage

#

the strongest dealing trillions

thick slate
#

xeroc does tho..

earnest flare
#

will xeroc have 1.3 trillion health

#

or greater

#

if not the tsar instakills him

thick slate
#

idk lore dev said it

earnest flare
#

ok but mathematically the loredev was wrong

#

due to coding restrictions involving the integer limit i dont think any boss could tank the average nuke

thick slate
#

why does a nuke deal trillions of damage

earnest flare
#

do i need to tap the sign again

thick slate
#

on a direct impact

i dont think xeroc would let a nuke directly impact him

#

he doesn't have my permission to dodge

earnest flare
#

in terms of an indirect hit i think a large amount of the bosses could survive

#

depending on how far away they are

#

though the only instances of nuking people and having them survive took place before the hydrogen bomb

sly bloom
#

This discussion happened in the past lmao

yea i said this

sly bloom
earnest flare
#

though oddly enough the nuke damage calc was first shared by cei of all people

#

not sure if it was before they became a dev or not but if it was far before the rewrite anyways

#

quite odd

earnest flare
#

no hydrogen bombs exist in calamity

#

theres your nuclear bomb lore

sly bloom
#

Yeah, we went over that

#

Obviously the real-world nuke doesn't exist in Calamity

earnest flare
#

its not like theres any way to prove that nuclear fission can occur in cal anyways

sly bloom
#

There's a bestiary entry that mentions Draedon using nuclear power

#

But if that's comparable to real-world fission and fusion is debatable

earnest flare
#

ok well yeah i guess the acid rain does prove that fission is plausible

#

the nuclear enemies...

sly bloom
earnest flare
#

as for the hydrogen bomb it is probably possible to make

#

cobalt can be used to set off the atomic bomb required for the hydrogen bomb to detonate

sly bloom
#

Make a cobalt bomb, kill all life on the planet to spite Draedon

earnest flare
#

uranium being required to make a nuke is really just not true

#

plutonium bombs did exist for a time but cobalt also works though never proven because uranium is just better

#

so like
yeah

#

irl nukes could be made in cal

sly bloom
#

Plutonium does exist in Calamity lore

earnest flare
#

considering that that is a sulphuric sea entry i think draedon has used it at one point

#

is it possible that he just failed to make the bomb work

sly bloom
#

Combined with the Gamma Slime entry, it makes sense

#

Also Draedon probably isn't fond of a high-power nuke that can so thoroughly damage the environment

earnest flare
#

i mean yeah i guess

sly bloom
#

He mentions that he has no intent to irreversibly damage the planet or its life or whatever

earnest flare
#

good guy draedon with the morality!

real silo
#

That's the whole reason I think

sly bloom
#

Science is all the morals you need

real silo
#

Why bother making a weapon so destructive it literally leaves nothing useful behind

earnest flare

"Draedon is an amoral monster beyond compare." ❌

ok this one is straight up a lie on yharims part

#

this isnt due to him not knowing lmao

#

finally found a direct knowing lie that yharim says

sly bloom
#

He's not entirely wrong, actually. "Amoral" is an accurate descriptor of Draedon

#

Draedon's motivation is science, not morality. He doesn't want to destroy a bunch of potential data

earnest flare
#

but like yeah there is a large chance that draedon was like "wait what if i split an atom" at one point

sly bloom
#

I mean, if he's done nuclear power, yeah

#

Which it seems he has

earnest flare
#

he was only a couple steps away from making a functional atomic bomb

#

and from there the hydrogen bomb can also easily be done

#

well good to know that irl nuclear physics apply to calamity :D

sly bloom
#

Draedon's a supergenius, so if he really wanted to, a nuke would not evade his grasp

#

Wouldn't be surprised if he found out how to more effectively synthesize antimatter

earnest flare
#

antimatter is fucking weird

sly bloom
#

It's evil matter that converts itself and normal matter completely into energy when they touch

earnest flare
#

but like if a nuke destroys anything he could learn then antimatter certainly would

not having morals is a moral in of itself

#

Now that I think about it
Draedon said he etched the circuitry of prototype exo prisms on the molecules of sea prisms.
Making a particle accelerator would be well within Draedon’s capabilities

sly bloom
#

Easily

earnest flare
#

yeah totally

spring helm
#

WHERE IS THE ISLAND OF STABILITY

#

DRAEDON

#

SHOW ME THE DATA

earnest flare
#

anyways how do solar panels work in calamity

#

do they just suck up the primordial light and xeroc gets 0.00000000001% weaker

sly bloom
#

Set up an ungodly quantity of solar pannels, leech a significant portion of Xeroc's power and then throw a Tsar a him

earnest flare
#

maybe the real crusade was the renewable energy we got along the way

warm gull
#

I think we should send the irl sun to fight xeroc

#

It would win

Xeroc just has to sneak up on sun at night fr fr

Oh ok

Also what is the nuclear terror?

#

It is way too confusing

#

It looks like a MUTO from Godzilla

mighty zenith
#

It's not clear, my theory is that its a sulphurous skater horribly mutated by radiation and nuclear waste that draedon dumped into the sea

pale mango
#

Oh so draedon is the reason it’s sulphurous

#

Just like a true American, draedon is polluting the world, one step at a time.

mighty zenith
#

it was sulphurous before that

pale mango
#

Ok

#

Second point still stands tho

warm gull
#

unnecessary political statement

sinful adder
#

We have Essence of Eleum, and Permafrost sort of corresponds to that, and we have Essence of Chaos, and Calamitas sort of corresponds to that. Should we have a mage for essence of sunlight, or whatever it's called these days?

#

Actually, why are there weird elemental essences, but only for three specific elements that seem strangely picked? What do Ice, Brimstone, and Sunlight have in common?

#

They're not a very obvious trinity.

#

The closest thing I can think of that matches all those is like...
The legendary pokemon from gen 5? Where Ice represents reality, fire represents ideals, and lightning represents truth.

#

Or was it the other way around, it's hard to remember

hoary berry
#

ideals and truth are the other way around iirc

#

zekrom for ideals, reshiram for truth

sinful adder
#

I see

#

Well anyways, what's the deal with this weird sort of elemental trinity? And they combine to make "calamity"

#

Which is also weird

#

And not fitting

#

I would like to have an explanation for these things, or maybe have them changed a bit to make more sense

#

Oh, they also fit with the primary colors for human eyes: red, yellow, blue

#

(which is actually kind of half a lie made up by color theory, green is a primary color.)

and uhh

what is core of calamity

why do you need ectoplasm to turn essence into cores

so youre saying there is no explanation and that its just a game mechanics therefore non canon

does core of calamity use buffed moon events materials

Essence of Ze' rock....

Maybe they're all related to fallen kingdoms

#

Havoc being azafure and sunlight being sky kingdom

#

Though idk if ice biome has a kingdom or not

urban hedge
#

iirc the snow biome used to be a large body of water before in Cal, but that could be completely wrong

#

but i've never heard of a notable city in it

untold bluff
#

Does essence of sunlight have anything to do with primordial light?

real silo
#

Well primordial light is straight up just sunlight

untold bluff
#

I mean it's even yellow and stuff

#

So I guess it is primordial light in a way

real silo
#

Xeroc lost a limb 600 years ago and the essence from that limb became essence of sunlight

i ate the sun

#

sorry

real silo

Actually since they're called essence

untold bluff
real silo

Maybe they're related to gods

untold bluff

That too

#

So xeroc essence clueless

#

In early prehardmode

real silo
#

havoc being ravager (?), sunlight being xeroc obviously, eleum being some ice god idk

#

They should retheme eleum around water and move them to sunken sea

untold bluff

Actually that would be pretty cool

real silo

Would fit with the fallen kingdom theory

but well making something based off of a theory is silly

what if the essence is like souls but without the actual soul energy or whatever

Ashes of calamity probably have soul stuff in it

So is respawning canon?

No

Yeah no

Some people said it was lmao

I thought it’s plain stupid

I mean I suppose you could headcanon a way your Terrarian is capable of respawning

But then it’ll remain exactly that

Would yharim become an npc after you defeat him?

You can argue that SCal does or doesn’t deserve to be forgiven for her actions (the game chooses to forgive her) but SCal at least is remorseful about what she’s done

yharim regrets that he didn't kill enough

Yharim has sisyphus syndrome of "i dont regret jackshit"

Did Yharim’s crusade ever end, did it just cease, or is it ongoing somewhere?

there's still, like, four gods left alive so technically it's ongoing

What’s the average strength of a god?

some gods are weaker and stuf

I’m talking about like the average strength the gods have

ik, i was just expanding in the other direction, since that was already being answered and i didn't have much different to say

in progression, they are post-polty, but they're only minibosses

so you can't base it on that

#

Hm…

id say empress if the average god tbh

yharim states that "much of dragonkind was lost as casualties in that struggle" so probably a majority died

there's one thing i did notice in the lore item

"It made her sickeningly obedient. Dependent, but willingly so as they enabled her to slake her base thirst."

"they" might refer to xeroc

spring helm
#

Them/themeity

split mortar
#

Hence why I think it’s Xeroc

spring helm
#

Looking at their stats, dragonfolly and eidolon wyrms are pretty close. Though obviously dragonfolly ends up being a tougher fight because it’s an actual boss

split mortar
#

Plus doesn’t folly spawn children aswell

spring helm
#

Yeah

split mortar
#

So it’s like fighting a dragon plus some

spring helm
#

But since dragonfolly is a boss no other mobs can show up when you fight it, unlike with minibosses

hoary berry
#

oh god

there's two of them

Even lore-wise, Calamity's Abyss is a much, much, much more hostile environment than Thorium's Aquatic Depths. Am I correct?

split mortar
#

Pretty sure only recently is when it got as much fish and plants as it has

Before it used to have no plants and probably less fish

There are eidolon wyrms and such as predators so I’d say probably

iirc abyss has been inundated with plant and animal life over a very long time

it took a long time to reach how it is

Though silva def made that process quicker

Silva is why

it started

Because without Sylva, there wouldn't be plants at all (because it would normally be too deep for them to exist at the depths they are encountered in, so magic is definitely at play).

the abyss depths would be horrifying irl, specially with how fast you drown

I have yet to see calcs for Calamity's Abyss.

frozen zodiac
#

still i feel like it would scar you if you somehow used a magic mirror or return potion as you were losing health, you would probably be left crippled

lone moss

Even mere 100 (plus\minus few dozen) meters of depth is enough to implode suboptimally build DIY submersibles (remote-controlled of course, no one is dumb enough to risk themselves, especially after Titan's disaster).

what im most scared of i think is the pressure so rapidly affecting your body

More like pressurized or whatever

lone moss
# frozen zodiac i think traumatized fits more

IRL aspect of deep dives that Calamity ignores (for good reason - it wouldn't be fun in Terraria's context), is toxicity of various gases under enough partial pressures (and saturation of blood with gases that diffuse into blood cells as pressure increases, which causes bends when you surface too fast).

untold oracle
#

That’s why you gotta ascend slowly

#

To like stabilize hydrogen or whatever

lone moss
untold oracle
#

Yeah nitrogen

#

Hi lore chat i just woke up from a nap

When you surface too fast, Nitrogen gets released from the blood cells and forms bubbles. Which are a bad thing in a bloodstream if you know anything about hydrodynamics and biology.

you know, i doubt the people who found out the eidolon wyrms react to teleportation magic like the rod of discord found out without at least one death

The only problem though... Tails can be just as bad at names as Terrarian sometimes, especially when he runs out of "sciency technobabble" to (try to) explain stuff.

@mighty zenith Also, am I the only one who has a hilarious mental image, where Eggman presents his yet another diabolical creation to certain ever annoying hedgehog, only for Draedon to casually chime in, take few notes of Eggman's poor design choices, and show how it's really done.
