polter is a amalgam
very tasty
[polterplasm tastes like nothing, and I didn't eat it]
ecto.
Why did autocorrect change it each time
hey lorers i just took a showers what did i miss
People bullying vanillin by unshowering them with skunks
nothing important
hm
two very different responses
shut.
And injecting them with ichor and astral
i'm immune 
NO 
both are moths (lie)

OH MY GOD I HAVE A GOOD THUMBS UP EMOJI
i've been searching for a nice thumbs up emoji for ages
this will do
i will now obey my compulsions and play more hollow knight
superradiant slaughterer
devious
is dragonfoly non auric dragon
yes
Yes
that's why it still exists and isn't Dead
well i mean yharon still exists
Yharon died multiple times
yeah but yharon is a special case
yharon has rebirth powers
old
or just gameplay reasons
old lore had the follies be failed clones of him
i'd guess just a remnant of old lore that didn't have much thought put into it
ok so
then dragons were being murdered
did humans knew which is non auric and which is auric?
i can imagine that they'd get a reasonably good grip on which ones are auric
kill one dragon -> trying to ascend with its soul does nothing -> see a bunch of other dragons that look exactly the same -> probably not auric

kill one dragon -> trying to ascend with its soul turns you into a god -> no other dragons anywhere that resemble it -> it's auric
though that is going with the assumption that all of the auric dragons actually looked unique
remind me is yharim's war in part revenge for the genocide of dragonkind
That’s like the entire reason he does the war
mostly revenge for the dragon genocide yes
To avenge dragon kind
probably a little bit of vengeance for yharim getting anakin at the end of star wars episode 3'd but mostly the dragon thing
^
id still believe xeroc is yharims father
reminds me f that st wars episode
honestly i can imagine yharim being the child of gods
would explain why he was apparently destined to be god-king, he was a nepobaby
^
whats that roman myth of the guy who attempted to defy fate and killed himself when he realized it
i feel like there's probably a lot of those but i'm guessing you mean oedipus rex or however the hell you spell it
yeah oedipus i just didnt know the name in english
the fact that my goofy joke makes some sence makes it even more funnier
i asked because what if yharim's current isolation is a punishment of fate he was always gonna end up in or something even after all he attempted to defy the path carved out for him
well i highly doubt he's xeroc's kid
but the child of some asshole god? yeah i can see that
If they were xerocs kid I doubt he would be this week
We don’t know
Not rly
Likely hood or neutral imo
Hood
up to interpretation at the moment but i wouldn't say so
Xeroc gang
I hate autocorrect
The tax collectors
they seem to have good motives and for all we know zeratros could've given them his soul willingly
Is there a reason why the dungeon has so much water themed stuff?
his actions were probably misinterpreted so the dragon genocide is only semi his fault because killing zeratros in whatever way he did should have led him to a public outcry instead of encouraging dragon killing
hell, for all we know he might not even have wanted to ascend because it would kill his master and dear friend
"-there sat a monk
Who dared to question history and stare into fate
'What is the true price of the past being ever eternal?
Why must our future forever haunt us?'"
Water candles, sorcerers who use water in their attacks, water related weapons, a painting,
Then why are there no skeleton fish people
😭
shh

don't think about it too much
The shadow tmod government (controlled by blushiemagic) orders me to be silent
Calamitas is allergic to bananas 🔥
Because the souls that died, died of thirst and so wanted water the most
And I so their desires cursed weapons and magical artifacts to generate a temporary undrinkable water like liquid
(I’m bullshitting we don’t know)
reposting this from a while ago


Yeah that’s draedon right hooking you for the atrocious names you came up with
i hope a train falls on your house

i dont remember who made theirs first
this is a bit embarrassing to say but i dont know what the vernal pass is
i see the phrase and just pretend i do
its a minibiome/structure in the underground jungle
supposed to act as an arena for jungle bosses such as plantera
id think its more for draedons character to nuke you for naming his machines like that
I use it for plantera and nothing else
I'd rather fight PBG and dragonfolly on surface
and golem is obviously just temple
lmao
Skeletron was killed and became a prime soul
didnt you know NEO is known for its high health
🤯🤯🤯🤯
Exploding you
Dryad is Noelle with like uhm idk uh GrassTomb or somethin

Polter seems good
Though I feel polter will fit like all secret bosses
I want to see moon lord throw hands with the deltarune peeps
Moonlord is wiping them

Oh. That’s a dead god. That’s a dead god in the Tetrarrianna Trench
titans from the game sonic frontiers!?!
I like the titan designs
In deltarune
Slime God is still the strongest god right
It’s been a minute since I’ve been caught up with the lore
Even in old lore that was not the case
hello lore experts
Xeroc was stronger even in old lore iirc
TO THE EELS.

Answer this lore question
What are stars in calamity
Don’t answer it anyone else
They are sandwiches
Hey
❌
Trust
I love sandwiches
😧
You are not deus

I am trust me
Youre sued
Can I answer
Nuh uh

Fake

Fraud
Not star god worm anymore
It’s a star devouring worm now
Deus pet
Ye
..right???
Sad
yeah
Yup
Infected star
Ate a moldy star
Then it smacked an infected meteor into Terraria
Correct
We don’t kill him correct? We just clean him in a nice warm bubble bath?
Yup
Swaggin
100% correct
So most of my memory of the lore is still accurate
Ye
Wingivitis
the beast
i just want him to be healthy :(
me too ):

beat it up
I wish we had uninfected deus sprite
We can only hope they make one
mmmyes pet worm
Okay I’ve done this and got Herrah too
I could start working on godhome now or do true ending first
Don’t think there is a true ending for hollowknight
Deus isn’t a god it didn’t absorb auric soul
would be neat if deus could randomly appear at night and just chill above your house for a little bit after you've done the boss fight once
omg omg omg yes yes yes
It’s the term I use for killing normal radiance
Idk why but that’s the term I attribute to that ending
this doesn't mean that it is one
it didn't absorb an auric soul
there's no "auric god"
generally speaking people use "true ending" to refer to whatever ending in a game takes the most effort to get to
Which would be delicate flower pantheon 5
I’m outta here
Auric god entails a not auric god which doesn’t exist
Still the hardest ending to get
i am aware
mb cuh
I know what true ending refers to, I’m just not sure why I use that term for that ending in particular
Probably just something from a corner of the hk fandom that stuck with me
Silksong is going to work no matter the ending you get so I don’t think there is a “true” canon over the others ending
doesn't hornet get put in gay baby jail inside of the black egg in one of them
or are you saying
must happen before hk
Yeah likely does
guys what are the relations between sentinels and DoG besides him and SW being of the same species
Dog and sw are not same species
Yharim is just horrible at biology
They’re all tied by being related to the distortion
fair enough
There’s no nickname for them that isn’t a Pokémon trio name
purple gang
Signus is half from this world and the distortion
Ceaseless is a ancient portal to the distortion
Storm weaver is some kind of worm that may have escaped a possible hive mind
Dog is a strong as fuck worm from there possibly made to eat god essence and bring it to noxus
Signus got statis out of the distortion for the cost of a arm and leg litteraly
when the hyperbole is not hyperbolic
seems fair enough
You can see on the concept art for statis
statis is an actual character?
yep
I thought it was only a cool name for statis blessing and curse
he's always been a real character

just not included in the game except for some accessories
Here is his gay boyfriend
old lore moment
Braelor
The gays are not old lore you homophobe
least extremist naturalist be like
yeah in old lore they were
dead
well he's the champion of literally mother nature herself

Here is his mum silva (not litteraly, he is her champion)

yeah I knew about silva
just beacuse silva armor carries
but never heard of the other two
They nearly killed yharim
braelor is only mentioned by yharim afaik
statis has the accessories and is also mentioned by yharim
I've never heard his name
yes it is mentioned
I checked

wait did braelor died or I am just bad at reading
in the signus lore item it says DoG got braelor and statis into a dimentional vortex
and signus got statis out of there
but what about braelor
or atleast thats what I understood
He has been in there for like a year and a half
I would rather kms in that situation
That’s because you’re not cool like Braelor
Braelor can also just face tank auric rejection
The player can do that too
Once or twice
With good armor and accessories, but not necessarily auric
They still go flying
i'm not sure how he could fight yharim properly if that was the case
I’ll check what was said, cause I swear it was that he could like not budge much
unless he just dug his feet into the ground
they should add Silva to the Heart of the Elements
except the accessory elemental is Braelor
These may imply it not pushing him much idk
Braelor just that guy
- Statis is faster than electricity (potentially)
Different part of the convo says statis just can’t touch yharim
Convo up here
If you want to see
Am I the only one who forgets it’s called brimstone cragas and not azafure
It was like a month ago
statis' items recipes have some serious lore that i'm not in the right headspace to unpack
terrarian ninja training arc when
coming soon in a Distortion update
statis ninja belt is post-dog, that must mean that Statis scales above DoG too
we powerscaling here
call omni
I do think a dev did say statis was like decently comparable to braelor (not equal) but that it was like 40/60 in the yharim fight for who did damage to yhar
Or I may be mid remembering things
no that's sounds about right
if the two of them are comparable to pre-exo upgrade yharim
bleh idk i lost my train of thought
so pre-exo auric yharim is less than 1.6 braelor
since he was going to lose
then again fighting two people is way harder than fighting one person
That a Exo mech is less then statis
so maybe not
True
Braelor and statis solo scal (feels wrong for her to lose but fine for yhar?)
i ended up writing the fight completely different because i didnt know this one
Oh rip
i heard statis didn't do too much so i just made him wait until braelor fought yharim to a standstill
gave him a instakill weapon so that was cool at least
okay
Statis' Ninja Belt
judging by the name only he had it
We robbing statis
He was slime gods champion
was he?
dang
Not like it would do much
still, there is a possibility
He could like canonically one tap slime god
statis' ninja belt requires purified gel, which only comes from slime god
Before transitioning
And he is the leader(and only iirc) onyx kinsaman who worshipped slime god so I think that’s why people thought it
are you sure he was the only one to worship SG?
The duty it upholds and the methods it employs are the reason the Onyx Kinsmen worship such a puny deity.
(SG bestiary entry)
I thought all the other kinsman were dead
what about his ninja clan [or was this obliterated]
then again
The gelatinous being neither knows nor cares for the last surviving clansman.
That’s onyx kinsman now I think
(Yharim)
i think yharim killed the rest
Yeah yhar happened to them
yikes
Wait since onyx kinsman worship signus, and statis is the only one left
Does he send us to kill that which he worships?
nightmare fuel non-canon?
And endothermic
Getting changed in distortion update
well it did leave Braelor in the Distortion
Fair
to me it feels like the onyx kinsmen had more of a business relationship with Signus
Fair
I think dev statement says signus has a business relation with noxus
Which may be huge if I am correct
anyway back to the ninja belt
it also requires necroplasm
i wonder how the clan managed to get that
You are not correct
Necroplasm is just pissed of soul level 2
Surely there’s a way to get those outside the dungeon while the world wide genocide on hundreds of millions is happening
To melon
this one?
what If we see statis leg and arm glued on noxus🤯
🤯
🤯
he opens his cloak like a cartoon shady salesman and you can see his limbs hanging there
okay so you can get necroplasm from overloaded soldiers post-DoG, so that's one way to aquire the stuff without going into the dungeon
but
Was like everyone just stalking me and popcorn talking
not really
wait a minute
necroplasm is only available post-moon lord
how did the the onyx lads get it
unless this is one of the cases where lore doesnt match with gameplay progression
i really gotta pay attention to that more
theorize👻
on it boss!
i got no theories 
.
uhh
(That is never implied)
Statis just avoids touching Yharim altogether
so
did he just hide until the opportunity presented itself?
not any less than like 60% his strenght
okay i worded that wrong
Ranger attacks
he has ninja stuff, probably still contributed without having to touch yharim
Never confiermed
I noticed that a bit later in the convo
theorize this i think
honeymoon
^
yes
Ah
sunken sea and the lower underground desert
Sunken sea is the small bit not incinerated of illmeris
Are you talking bout Ontonilou and uhhhhh Fish Man?
no.
Tyrian
Yeah Tyrian and Ontonilou
They’re the gods of illmeris but I don’t think they’re being talked about
we are talking about Braelor and Statis
The gays
necroplasm only shows up post-moon lord
They almost pieced up Yharim
If only The Serpent didn’t interrupt
not anymore

short-term memory strikes again
Dimension
what
*distortion
Ngl I only rejoined this server just for this image of Draedon
distort yourself graaaaghhhhh!!!!!!
Draedon is actually a Pen Name for the popular inventor John Aspergers
Thank you draedon for creating my brain
okay i got something, but it's not very solid
He is a slightly changed name of a dragon gym leader in Pokémon
do we know when silva last imprisonment happened
Within the crusade cause yharim drop kicked her for being a god (no parents edition)
other bumblebirb emote
Yharim sucks ass, how could you do that to such a Silva like Silva
Silva is so Silva
what does this even mean.
no like a more defined date
x = x
Lore Discussion is rotting
Hope this helps
We only know during crusade iirc
i did not join this server to remember simple algebra
It’s 1:40 am and I am ill
What do you expect me to do? Undiverge my autism?
go to sleep.
No
i said remember, not learn
Too Ill
How do I evolve my muramasa? The game says that for me to release more of her abilities I need to pass ''the tests''
Don’t snitch on me to goose please
If you’re not here to learn, why are you in the lore channel???
pshhh potato potato
i hope you trip and fall into a chasm
That’s a calamity overhaul thing, don’t install it it’s a unbalanced and steals code and assets from other mods and can corrupt stuff
ok but how i can make my muramasa does more damage?
it doesn't
Base cal doesn’t do that
what
I saw a muramasa deal 1000 damage
Cal overhaul
or using samuel rodrigues nickname
not official
Then there’s another mod in the play
and unbalanced
Damn I kinda want a mod that makes DoG’s sprite a very stretched out wiener dog but purple
overhaul is fun
It’s hated here
I always ask what the public perception of a person/thing is
Mainly cause it steals code and assets
Ectoplasm shows up post-Plantera, and we know that Plantera is an amalgamation of many souls, not unlike Polterghast.
After Plantera was destroyed, the spirits within it were released and they move to the dungeon, which is why Dungeon Spirits show up and drop ectoplasm.
The spirits inside Polterghast are much angrier than the ones in Plantera (because Yharim), so that explains why the necroplasm is basically "infected" with malice unlike the more pure ectoplasm.
With this in mind, it is possible that necroplasm and ectoplasm can be created in-lore by getting a bunch of spirits (I'm thinking it's like squeezing juice out of a lemon). That's probably how the Onyx Kinsmen managed to get necroplasm to make Statis' Ninja Belt.
yeah i still got no reason as to why necroplasm only shows up post-moon lord
i thought i had something with the overloaded soldiers but i read the bestiary and that idea was completely wrong
well maybe not
they show up in hardmode but get buffed post-moon lord
nvm still got nothing
i mean, im looking at it and itself it just feels really random
damn you Fovos
like why is there just a necroplasm soldier that randomly spawns in the underground
A thought:
Plantera souls don't all go to the dungeon, just some do. Additionally, why would souls go back to the dungeon? Are they magically bound to the place where they died?
A body given life again, overflowing with the souls of warriors that perished during the Crusade who were unable to find peace. Their ravenous hunger for battle has been reignited due to sensing godly essences in the land once more.
so it's just like
similar to why so many zombies show up at night
its just a lost soul from the crusade?
the crusade just killed that many people
Maybe they go there because the souls were originally taken from the dungeon, and there's some kind of economy for buying souls for use in magic, and some of them were dangerous black market dungeon souls
That would check out
maybe the dungeon just magnetically attracts souls because of all the magic done inside it
i was thinking the dungeons kinda just drew spirits to it
yeah like this
then again
Could also be that
are there any instances in lore of magic having an effect on the area around it
hardmode souls don't start flying there when they drop
Depends on the kind of magic
Essence of things: yes
Astral infection: yes
Calamitas and Brimmy's fight permanently altered the landscape
Maybe due to ceaseless void emitting devious magic?
the tooltip says its the essence of creatures, maybe its not a soul of the enemy itself but the hallow/corruption/crimson
that could be interesting
so there are 6 types of essences then
no wait
9
Soul of Might, Sight, Fright, Flight, Night, and Light; and Essence of Eleum, Havoc, and Sunlight
What about the providence essence in uelibloom profaned ore
True, there are probably way more than just the 9 I mentioned
(Each god is a seperate easence, the biomes are just a big slurry of them so it kinda is just one)
Now that I think about it, outside of the 3 from the mech bosses, these essences might be originally derived from god essence
Since they only show up post-WoF
Theoretical question: After a decade passes by, what do you think Yharon will do?
Some things I've came up with is:
-Will hide in the aerie. (Most likely)
-will wait until the terrarian dies out.
-will go on a revenge spree (unlikely)
What do you think would happen?
Think this through
I feel like Yharon would be wise enough to know they don't stand a chance since the Terrarian has defeated stronger foes. But maybe if he was in a blind rage?
Assignment #1: Do all souls from Plantera return to the Dungeon? Explain why. (15 marks)
Thinking about it
They may view it like how yharim views their death in some way
A more silent sadness?
It's hard to come up with some ideas since the terrarian is self canon so ideas could vary because of that.
I think you are giving attention to the wrong aspect of this
i just had to write it down
True, after all, Yharon has nothing to lose.
im thinking
Maybe souls from plantera just shake and wake up weaker dungeon souls
the dungeon isnt the only place that is affected by Plantera's death
i think one of the lore writers wrote about how killing plant just disturbs the dungeon
since all of the souls being released makes the situation more volatile
Plantera had a ton of souls in it, maybe even some from the dungeon.
prismatic lacewings start spawning
cyborg npc shows up
other npc's start selling new things
evil biome spread slows
im assuming the solar eclipse stuff isnt canon
The eclipse is but not the enemies iirc
if the enemies aren't then the post-plantera eclipse changes probably aren't either, since it's mostly just new enemies
True
I feel like the slower evil biome spread only happens because of vanilla, and I don't think it would be a positive game mechanic for calamity change that.
the new npc items can be attributed to the lack of Plantera's presence allowing access to more materials from the jungle to make stuff with
yeah but i dont really see anything that prevents it from being non-canon so
will start with 1 and 2 combined, then 3 after gaining power again
sunflowers also prevent evil biome spread so it's not like it's impossible
Plantera floods the normal land with souls so god essence has trouble growing as quickly
they're attracted to other souls or their families died in the dungeon or something maybe, idk
^
I quite simply interpret that
Plantera's defeat unleashes a bunch of souls around the world, naturally balancing things out
Which causes the spread of the Evil Biomes to slow down
Balance?
So basically this
SLIME GOD MY GOAT COME BACK PLEASE I DIDNT MEAN IT

Born to keep balance
Forced to be stuck in Hallow
If only we could free it
we don't actually know if slime god is good
I really like my explanation of
they could be one of those dumbasses that's like "no, we must keep evil around, so that everthing is balanced"
Why the Dungeon has so many fucking Souls
Let us hear it Bebecca
I thought there were just like a million people that died there
I'm not saying it now 
😦

Is it because I misspelled your name
Yeah, but why so many stayed there? And why so many went to it after Plantera's death?
Oh they WENT to it after plantera a death?
The Dungeon actively fucks with Souls in some way
Why do you think
Dungeon gets buffed
I now think ceaseless void sucks in souls

Souls from plant shake the soup of souls and some wake up
trying to get to their corpses maybe?
there should be visuals of a bunch of souls orbiting and gradually falling into ceaseless void when it's passive in the dungeon
Maybe plantera's bestiary will reveal something
Plantera's Bestiary is more about how it was made
Yay

God forbid women have any hobbies
Every time souls have been used to fuse, they seem murderous
So I thought that was just normal
Plantera's Bestiary explains
1 - Why it was made
2 - How it was made
3 - What went wrong

every time more than 2 fuse
Will we get a lore reason for why it holds the temple key?
I feel like I have a really good explanation for that but I'd leave it for elsewhere
1 - Yharim killed our god we need a new one
2 - Auric soul = god, maybe many many regular souls = also god
3 - Many many regular souls =/= god
The Temple Key is actually one of the few Vanilla Items I want to add a Lore tooltip to
yay
Rebecca who is that in your pfp
May we know the other five or will you tease us and not tell
hisami
Hisami from Touhou
I don't know them either

Idk but it looks like they have water balloons on their head
Lmao

Fair
Can’t wait to see it in a few months
were the lihzarhds only confided to the temple
Throw some items you think might be important and I will say it
or did they also live outside of it
The wof emblems?
Nah
Ok
One second I need to use the bathroom
The wands from the plant dungeon? Heard someone theories that they may be dragon cult people who got caught in the cross fire
guide voodoo doll
Ancient manipulator
uhhhh
Oh yeah that one
Manipulator
solar tablet
^
You know since the Statis void sash uses twisting nether, the dash might actually be you phasing through dimensions
?
Saw someone called marshall typing
Bro don’t just call people out like that
Ok
Aight
Ancient Manipulator maybe actually
Celestial sigil
I thought summon items weren’t canon
That may be a gameplay thing
Idk
I managed to come up with an explanation for the Guide - Wall bullshit
That isn't shit
plante
plant
you mean me?
Most Ores kinda just vibe
Yeah, hope you have fun lurking
The only ones I want to properly explain are
Fair
I was intending on asking something. but I dont feel like it rn
Hardmode Ores
my headcanon was that making the WoF required it to be bound to someone's soul
like they had to somehow forcibly attune all that godly essence to someone
I imagine it may require a few people not just one to hold that weight
Are the mech bosses made of hallowed metal?
Yes
also for some reason discord only wants to show me ALL my messages
and not ones SPECIFICALLY in this discord
Rip
Okay well I suppose that explains why hallowed ore shows up after you beat them
so I have just learnt I have send 931 messages in my like...
Dunno about the others though
Is it the one we wrote?
