whoa
particle accelerator
thats me
we don't know
auric poltergast probably
i think it will work more like a stuffed bird
AAAAAAAH
2 in 1
I killed it 
I see auric metal more as a metalloid imbued with the essence of an auric soul
Thats why you cant mine it until you defeat yharon
kinda
you can't even find it until after yharon is dead
Still technically true
i suppose
you cant mine it because it doesnt exist
gute nacht
I'm Amethyst the Royal Scientist
winged ding gastern
I owe everything to this dinged man
renault 5 or yharim car?
halamity
I was gonna finish it rn but my friend hopped on, time to play lunar veil
did she get this hat at the big hat store
hatlamitas lore:
It's too big because it's from Cataclysm
she shrunken
the draebeamr shrunk her into a cat sized calamitas
draedog shot catlamitas?
why are you using an image of me saying something as proof
there's way better proof
🤷♂️
i thought this was just a gameplay thing tbh
why would it be
until you said it
stuff like that being "jsut gameplay" would entirely kill any sort of full proper possible speculation
because the line would be really muddy
as a rule of thumb, as with most games ever, unless there is direct evidence to prove something is "just gameplay", you can probably assume something isn't "just gameplay"
:p
because "just gameplay" isn't a rule
it's an exception
i just assumed it was the case since respawning isnt canon
i mean, yeah, there's stuff throughout the entire game that directly implies throughout the game that that's the case
okay so which ores aren't around at the beginning lore-wise and which are game progression locked
the idea of respwning is clearly contradicted by multiple facts and statements
all of them
why would that ever be the case?
again, unless a gameplay mechanic is actively contradicted by something show or said
in my head auric ore was just this severe environmental hazard that you couldn
t go near
(Except Aerialite)
then you cna safely assume it's not "just gameplay"
aerialite is always around and has a reason for disenchanting
Yeah
We are careful to not decanonize things haphazardly
unless i got the question backwards
And are actively working towards making cause-and-effect consistently meaningful
what i am saying, is, all progression locked ores show up in-story when they show up in-game
because if they didn't
that'd be weird
nah you got it right
considering that there's nothing that actively contradicts it anywhere
Not sure what about killing the mech bosses blesses the world with the Hardmode ores
Most of the others make sense
i wasnt gonna say anything about that but i was wondering
there is indeed a reason
Is it one you can give?
lmao
fair enough lol
where's the fun in just saying stuff i'm gonna include in the game
real
true
that just makes it more boring in the long run for me AND you guys
but i will say ti's moreso less just the mechs and more of a combination of the mechs and the wall of flesh
remember
the first hardmode ores spawn upon the wall of flesh's defeat
the souls would be the connecting factor
oh wtf cobalt and palladium are made from god essence
Is there a reason the astral infection cannot spread btw
yeah
it is a star
becuase mana naturally condenses, not spreads
Interesting…
the constant struggle against entropy
you cna even see that in a fact astral infection enemies
notably
Hives and Atlases
literal amalgamations of multiple creatures
Who have condensed and fused together
to spread would be counterintuitive
i mean yeah it would but also remember what channel you're in ~~in what i just talked to you about 5 minutes ago
~~
sowwy
is all good i just think it's funny
i had to check from this convo if scoria is available right away
Actually I think it is
i mean you still can't reach it because it's in the abyss
but it's there
calamari mention

I’ve seen a good couple of the sprites
Very cool stuff
I’d love to see a basking shark in the sulphurous sea or something but I don’t think it was included
i've seen this said a bunch of times but is cosmilite actually a liquid
It is an idea we had
Nothing concrete yet, after all Distortion is a long way ahead
Now I have to interrupt, to show you
(spoilers for epic the musical future saga)
--
Izekiel's so close to the portal. So close to coming home. Yet an upstart worm gets in his way to destroy it.
And he is having NONE OF IT.

part 1 of 2 of an ambitious animation, terraria and epic the musical got me on a chokehold tee hee
im gon be reviving my social medias for thiss
Charyb...
Btw does night providences powers have any ties to lore or is it just a gameplay thing
The mod I work on and my current hyperfixation combined in an animation 
It has an in-lore explanation, but I dunno if/when we'll share it
It's not something absurd, more of a trivia thing
I see, its nice to hear that it does, hopefully we get to learn one day
I remember asking about it before and got something about how it’s related to the tranquility of night or something? I dunno exactly
We’ll find out eventually lol
or not I suppose
I wonder if it would be similar to a non-Newtonian fluid or something
Where it becomes harder based on force applied
Actually I suppose that wouldn’t really make much sense but cosmilite itself is a mystery so
Grahhhhh this animatic is so good
Epic the musical!!!!!!! 🙏
I have my own headcanon
It’s a bit silly
But fire burns brighter perception wise at night
so provi is stronger in accordance to that
I think night time makes magic stronger and primordial light makes other magic weaker
Maybe
Hmm. Specific types of magic then?
Like, empress and providence are both stronger and faster at night. You'd think it would be because of primordial light and mana somehow, but we have no idea really
This is silly
But maybe she's more powerful at night because her fire can burn brightest, while during the day, the sun outshines her. When night falls, she can finally show her true "brilliance" or something like that.
Empress is stronger at day but I get what you mean.
Empress is stronger at day and provi at night
What makes me think that provi somewhat gets outshined or something like that in some way is since at night, her flames turn blue/white which is the color of fire when it reaches extreme temperatures. And they go back to normal orange/yellow at day.
But the color and heat of the fire wouldn't change by it being outshined
It just looks weaker, it isn't actually different
Well she does get stronger so it's not just looks but maybe theres information about her domain of power we don't know yet that would give her a boost at night.
ya
The perception of a blaze being brighter could effect how those perceive it
which for a goddess could actually amplify it
It kinda gives me Lucifer (venus) being outshined by God (sun) vibes.
Obviously not like that but the vibes
Just vibes nothing close to being related
stipulatelucifer no way
The outshining part
Holy moly
No I mean, in what mythology is the sun the Abrahamic god and Venus is Satan?
It takes aspects mostly from Christian theology and ancient mythology, when Venus wasn't know really well. This led to Lucifer being called the "morning star" because Venus rose in the morning and was briefly visible before being outshined by the sun. This has been interpreted as Lucifer attempting to outshine God but failing.
Idk the origin on how they came up with Lucifer being Venus tho.
I see. I never knew about this
Greek and roman mythology are the main ancient mythologies used.
im baAaaack
with the finished HALLOWEEN Scal
might polish it up some more tomorrow but i shall now go to sleep
🔥🔥🔥🔥
Halloween should be canon
Some weird dark ages Christian thing
Christian
Where it's the day when the demons and monsters come out to threaten you or something
Yeah
Idk the full details
I dont know if yharim would like that
But it comes from "All Hallows eve"
Real life religions are nothing like calamity gods
Ok, idea, the moon lord's power twists the hallow's dreamlike properties into nightmares and spreads them across the land, or reflects them off the moon, or something. And that makes the pumpkin moon
Thx
No it comes from some pagan holiday
Isnt there a jjk character who goes HALLOWEEN and makes people blind or something because she has was too much in her brain
Oh
Eh who cares
I got them mixed up I guess
it's russian folklore
Nice
Some sort of Celtic tradition which was then brought by Irish and Scottish immigrants to the US iirc
Samhain ( SAH-win, SOW-in, Irish: [ˈsˠəunʲ], Scottish Gaelic: [ˈs̪ãũ.ɪɲ]), Sauin (Manx: [ˈsoːɪnʲ]) or Oíche Shamhna ( EE-hə HOW-nə) is a Gaelic festival on 1 November marking the end of the harvest season and beginning of winter or "darker half" of the year. It is also the Irish language name for November. Celebrations begin on the evening of 3...
Ok I think I kinda achieved some sort of breakthrough on how I'd interpret the Guide in my story
His omniscience can be kind of explained with how the Wall of Flesh is comprised many different gods and his knowledge is kind of like
Basically their memories or something
chainsawman
Ah
my brain is
right now
i'm trying to write and it's just producing a disorderly dumpster fire
Helo goose

To write
don't overwork yourself if you think you're sick
or ever ideally, but especially when you're sick
you'll just take longer to recover
the longest i've spent writing without break any notable breaks was around four hours i think
Wow
i managed to write about five thousand words in that period
which is slow
i think
i don't even remember what i was writing about
i was writing about silva's 'corpse'
and i still like the general idea i had but it's just not coming together
I think the way Draedon will neutralize the astral infection is by making a catalyst that speeds up the natural condensing
I don't think he will get involved with it
Fighting astral infection is like one of his top concerns
Since he can’t do space travel if he can’t fight it
Not really
Oh yeah I was wondering if I even cooked with my Guide headcanon for Calamity 🤔
What is it?
.
Also the idea that he's just connected to the Wall of Flesh
Like a sort of manifestation rather than just a cursed human like the Clothier is
Would the guide be like a god version of polter then?
Wait
Now you put it that way, I think I could say that's the case
The lore for WoF just says that it's meant to stop the spread of divine essence but it didn't specifically say it was meant to completely stop it
Does he say this? I didn't realize. I also didn't know astral infection was so common in space
Interesting
Silly calamity fanfic idea: Draedon eventually leaves terraria to travel among the stars. Someday, he becomes another world's Fovos, an invader from beyond the stars with near unstoppable power.
🤔
exo fovos
Helo I’m here to colect some samples :3
Yeah just
Probably not nearly as horrible
literally just shows up to do research
things would probably attack him instead
then draedon already thought of that possibility
and built an anti cosmic version of himself
draedon contingency plan
Ah, a “exo fovos” so if things attack they get basically erased
it would be fun having an entire spin off series on that
draedon fighting astral infection
I don't think it would go that way
I think he'd just show up and start building stuff, and kill anything that tries to stop him
And I also think he'd probably figure out how to deal with astral infection pretty quickly
Probably with soul power
Maybe he'll figure out how to make artificial souls without a will attached to them?
Or rather, tied to his own will
Would be so cool to see 20-minute battle scenes with exo warmachines against astral amalgamations
draedon pilgrim vs the world
he doesn’t even technically need to kill it
nor would he want to
he wouldn’t know how many of that species exist
Draedon finding another planet's version of auric souls
bro gonna study them argentic souls
I think we would just go experiment on world souls to find out about auric and if they have other counterparts
auric plantera when
isn't that csm
A thought: plantera is basically a polterghast
In terms of lore
It's a bunch of souls stuck together
But plantera is just also in a plant body
Gameplay AND lore polter copies plantera
SMH My Head
And polter is a lot more souls
Lol yeah
Seems like fusing more than two souls together always results in a violent and mindless creature
Except with gods
That's just two souls
The world soul fragment
We don't know how that works
Fair
We know there was a world soul that was destroyed, and now there's auric souls
The auric souls were in some way made from the world soul being split
Where car
Play the game and read all the lore items, or read the lore document pinned here

Read the lore doc in pins
Uhh
hello lorers
lorers when you replace the first r with s
Have you ever listened to the raindrop that fell to the sky by chris christodoulou
good...
Hello lore chat
melon is cooking up an essay rn
alexhey
No melon gun type 

Fovos/moonlord appears and wrecks the auric dragons entire species shit
Their king, zeratros was going to die permanently somehow from the wounds and xeroc absorbed their soul to become the first god
News about the ascension spreads and so others start hunting auric dragons to ascend into gods, these ascensions are not perfect and so they’re weaker then xeroc and have different domains from the dragon
Centuries pass with all but the dragon of rebirth being used to ascend
Yharim gets thrown in lava by god worshipers along with yharons egg
Yharon births from the egg and flys yharim out of the lava and tells yharim about the dragons and maybe even accidentally propagandas yharim into wanting all gods dead, they attune
They start a war on gods with permafrosts help but the early gods they kill cause the prehardmode crimson and corruption and sees this as absolute proof of all gods evil
The war wages on as draedon and azafure join yharims side and azafure makes the wall of flesh to hold gods essence
Some gods like slime god and providence had fled from battle constantly hence why they survived
At some point the dragon cult joins yharims yharmy and the dungeon is used to hold prisoners of war
Devourer of gods join and makes the wall of flesh irrelevant to contain god essence
Brimstone elemental awakens and starts nuking azafure immediately, weirdly scal (who was just a pre teen in poverty at this point) gets brimstones powers and tries to stop brim from destroying azafure, and destroys azafure in the process by accident, fire vs fire leads to a tie
Yharim gets scal to evaporate illmeris and she successfully does
Yharim neglects those in the dungeon and polterghast forms, yharim refuses to sort it out so dragon cult cuts ties with yharim
Permafrost leaves and yharim and yharim sends scal to kill him, scal traps him in cryogen to spare him and make yharim think he lives
Scal shortly leaves
I litteraly wrote more then discord would let me send
everyone dies!?!
I would kiss you if i could
No thanks I’m not single
Anyways to cover the rest that discord wouldn’t let me send I shall go back to writing
Draedon creates the nano plague and gets kicked out of the yharmy since yharim hates the removal of free will since gods did that, draedon not being able to understand morality on a conceptual level is confused but doesn’t get all that affected by being kicked out
Draedon develops exotic resonance prisms and the exo mechs
Yharim enters a fight with braelor and statis and nearly dies but gets saved by dog since he snuck up and sent statis and braelor to the distortion
Statis pays a litteral arm and a leg to leave the distortion to signus
Yharim goes to draedon after the fight and gets exo auric armour greatly enhancing his power
Yharim goes in hiding to the aerie and has not even a decade left to live
The terrarian appears
After killing wof the astral infection star falls and aureus gets infected
I def missed things or got some things wrong but that should be a good general gist hopefully
Niko gif
Don’t throw him into ell pit 😔
pancaek pit
Go to shower
O nice, kind of making a neat timeline there 
sheep pig dragon
deformed beast
Cause why not
god i wish brimmy had an actual design
dia will actually remedy this
the elementals will all get real designs since he's spriting all of them except anahita
🙏
🙏🏼
Aren’t those just the accessories tho
Are they the same
no
I think brim is meant to have a skull
Its gonna take me longer than I thought to write the Calamity Endgame Therapy fanfic
But thats fine
I sort of had a revelation last night that I care too much about things and wanting to be helpful
But its not entirely my fault, as I'm dealing with something that causes this
So I'm going to try to slow down and reveal stuff in a much slower fashion, IE I wont be showing everything until its all said and done
wdym those are teeth
doesn't have segments = not a worm
he is a short worm
doesn't count
Looks like creature

is yharon bad though?
Yes
But it’s understandable
You see your friends and family killed around you
And now surrounded with ppl pretending to be them
In a hostile world
Constantly hunted and killed
Signus has like 50 mouths
First thing you see as you’re reborn is someone getting thrown to lava because they didn’t kill you
aint rebirth takes 100 years
10
or if hot then instantly
not 100
but
thats kinda dumb
there is no way bro rebirthed at same moment yharim was thrown in lava
Bad luck ig
clearly there is a way
The rebirth is probably become egg
Not exit egg
So the lava prob awoke him hours earlier then he would have or something
why didnt they just threw yharim only then
cause they're stupid idk
Cause they prob thought it would kill yharon aswell
makes se3nce
Were gods hostile to dragons

the fuck is auric polterghast
When you consume multiple auric souls
yummers
no.
A theorised thing that would happen if you absorbed too many dragons
I think
Basically same thing
Why
Trike?
yep
Ah
chat can be a little dead, as a treat
My friend
Dies to nosk like seven times
Nearly beats watcher knights first try
They beat watcher knights second try
Remember the oath my friends
Wha
If you know you know
is there any details why slime rain happens?
honestly i did find nosk harder than watchers in my first playthrough
nosk took four or five attempts
watchers one
albeit i had channeled nail and all abyss spells by then
My friend had two abyss spells and pure nail for watchers
Descending dark being the one they lack rn
He also had to keep on going to deepnest like five times cause he would leave whenever he got anything
i rush dreamgate so i don't have to deal with that
Dreamgate 🤑
He went in almost completely blind except he thought he knew a lot of hollowknight
Killed them in two attempts
what gods and other entities were worshipped in azafure and at what percentage of the population worshipped each one
^
And he hates deepnest and has arachnophobia
top 10 betrayals
Yea
maybe thats a reason why she is post mech 1
nobody worships her anymore
so she lost powers
Hollowknight boss time
only provi can really gain more power by having a lot of followers
and atm it seems like scal stole a lot of brimmy's powers
how? idk
10 fargillion
Atleast 10 in her bones
but she gets brimstone mana burn while using it
Except it’s brimstone mental breakdown
is it painful for scal to use powers?
were fighting husks not actual brothers
might've been protecting her
When two sentient tsar bombas are nuking the city in a fight I wonder why some normal peeps died
Cataclysm
idk
brimmy?
Theyre still her brothers not just the husks of their former self

like Cal Clone can also create her own version of Cal brothers
i dont know brothers lore
Something with necromancy and bringing people back from the dead
they died when cal and brimmy were fighting
but youre not really bringing them back?
the entire city was destroyed
i mean its kinda obvious
you just sort of attempt to recreate life
so they are still same or like no
no they're dead
At this point probably no
How is necromancy not banned anyway
i also wondered does Permafrost know about every single magic
why did he look like he uses Ice magic, is there any particular reason for that
I mean he taught scal hoe to use her powers
this good for DoG
loreful
i would give advice regardless but
i don't play rogue
best i can do is remind you to switch your wings back in
You dont need wings for DoG

just grab yourself on top of his head and he cant hit you
Hello lore cat

He is the archmage, plus there’s probably plenty of similarities between magics so he can teach the basics on most magics
he probably just is better at ice magic
like how a entomologist has a general knowledge of biology as a whole but specializes in bugs
permafrost used snowgrave 💀
imagine permafrost as boss
Eternity cryogen:
really?
iirc he breaks out and fights you for most of the fight
eh not really cool
id like to imagine him like sisyphis prime
like also breakinbg out of cryogen
but being somewhat even more powerful than scal
this 🧊 to hold me?
guys i am not crazy
such a cool idea imo
and like idk
cyrogen gonna be like panopticon
What lore have I missed
Old duke

Nuh uh
ngl i like pets and dont at same time
I’m throwing you in the eel pit
like its cool its not just mini boss

but also sad cuz that reason
miniboss?
yes
not normal sso i mean sso
likely coming in sso
which sso

man i love eels
sploon.......
Wait is the sulphurous sea update also coming in sso
yeag
plz i hope old duke wont be shit anymore
It’s just resprite iirc
it's more tgan that
how would the fight stay the same when it's 5x larger than current
and his sharkron minions are getting replaced by fishrons
i meannnn you could just make some Minor alterations in the case of duke
Wait he got even bigger?
no he's the same size as the resprite in progress
Just that the resprite is bigger then current old duke
I NEver Mentioned Yharon Why DId You Put Him Here?
uhhh
i found an image triangle made
for size comparisons
current od is a lot smaller than yharon
should get a better reference
ombgus for scale
will slime get pet?
well what i wanted to say is that old duke's redesign's size didn't change....
yes it is bigger than current but afaik it didn't change after the inital sketche
i remember asking in spoilers yesterday
dev answered nuclear terror and mauler will have
NT and mauler are minibosses
cragmaw too?
also a miniboss
okay that makes more sense
sorry for the misconception
surprisingly this channel turned into spoiler talk
huh?
Nuh uh

Why are two of these resprites crossed out?
No, hollowknight talk
it's to show what he didn't make
never played hollowknight tbh
You should imo
alright
Ok, so they will still be in the game, right?
yes.


i dislike this hk character greatly but the emoji is so cheery and happy and awesome

"little grub"
Yeah
i've been stalking for changes in the future content doc
We are small
since me and some devs told cosmore abt stuff missing in it
and i sent a bunch of that stuff is CST
she's far too condescending and shows no regard for the well being of literally anyone else
she's just hiding and laughing due to her supposed superiority
that's how i interpret her dream nail anyway
"In times past I wouldn't have spoken with your likes, but now the rest of my caste are wonderfully, distantly deceased." also this
like yeah, entitled noble, i'm not blaming her for her upbringing, but
i'm not going to like someone who acts like that regardless of why they do
that's vile
i would think she's also trying to hide that she's horribly lonely in her state
i can definitely see that
but even her dream nail dialogue doesn't belie her arrogance

Shadowspec bullet when
Anti canon material ammunitions when
It de canons what you shoot with it
The ammunition lore is up to you or smth
does shooting shadowspec armor decanonify its uncanonity
Demonshade is the only one that’s canon of the shadowspec stuff iirc
Since it will be post scal
Not post game
when xeroc pellets
Will it be like exo armor is melee/ranger (rogue too?) and demonshade summoner/mage
I think exo and demonshade will be multi class
auric will still be 5 helmet

We experience too much weight and die
I thought exo armor was select the stats you want for your class damage vs demonshade which was multiclass
What no pfft, weight is not an issue when you can carry 9999 blocks of 1m³ gold
That times like 50
for somene at the brink of infinity, weight seems like a none issue
But its exo technology
with magic armor
A block is two feet not 1 metre
all i know is that the armor is supposed to look like its fusing with your body
