thanks

sinful adder
#

What is this from?

#

Also, I wonder what Draedon would think about a player that was a robot, one he didn't make

indigo glade
hushed geyser
#

Mood whiplash

sinful adder
#

I see

#

I wonder if the exo mechs are sentient. I doubt it, but on the other hand, exo stuff is made from the same stuff as Draedon's "brain"

indigo glade
#

It is alive in the same way Draedon is alive.

#

It thinks.

#

I wonder what was powering Draedon before he obtained Exo Prisms.

fierce pagoda
#

Snicker bar

split mortar
fierce pagoda
#

ah thats what the other part of exo technology was, first part, coding based on the brain so that its super fast at calculating and stuff, and second part, infinite energy from exo prisms

#

and i guess the black plating that the exomechs use

#

dunno what that is made of tho, maybe cosmolite

split mortar
#

It’s a cosmolite alloy

fierce pagoda
#

so does it count as exo technology?

#

like the hardware

split mortar
#

He calls it Exo plating iirc

#

So yeah

sinful adder
fierce pagoda
#

or are the exo prisms the only hardware part

#

Exo plating ha that sounds cool

#

so you think that when exo armor is getting added, it will be made of exo prisms and cosmolite alloy?

#

do the exoprisms contain any exo tech brain coding? or do they only containt a tracking thing dreadon installed in them

split mortar
#

Prob not alloy in crafting due to the fact that would be item bloat

#

Prob just tracking things, that’s all we are told about by draedon

fierce pagoda
split mortar
#

Probably

fierce pagoda
#

man just using exo tech to power things up sounds so cool, REALLY whis we could have upgraded our own auric armor with exo tech like Yharim but i don think thats happening

#

only regular Exo armor for us

split mortar
#

Yeah

#

Insuperior armour though we may have better weapons

fierce pagoda
#

damn you Yharim! why do you get to have the cool Exo Auric Armor!!!

#

we will have demonshade armor atleast which has Scal power

split mortar
#

Because draedon got to give it directly unlike us who has tor craft

fierce pagoda
#

that armor Yharim doesnt have access to

split mortar
#

True

fierce pagoda
#

we can make exo auric plating blocks though, but they are only decoration

split mortar
#

Oh nice

#

Demonshade will probably get nerfed when it becomes scal armour since it would otherwise beat the others out of the water in usefulness

fierce pagoda
#

right, were gonna have three equal armor sets, Exo armor, Auric armor and Demonshade armor

#

but are all three going to be canonically weaker than Yharims armor?

split mortar
#

Oh so no rage thing anymore?

split mortar
#

Our auric is worse

#

So if the others are equal then they’re worse

spring helm
fierce pagoda
#

our auric is only lacking rejection part, but i guess thats a big enough nerf to make ours inferiour. Literally no one can even touch Yharim without being harmed

spring helm
#

Sticker caloro

fierce pagoda
#

Loring interrupted with a caloro flashbang

split mortar
#

Dumbo flashbang

fierce pagoda
#

wonder what it tastes

spring helm
#

Mock attuned auric is like a nuclear bomb without the radiation

#

Still strong but it lacks that certain “flair” that’s got everyone spooked

indigo glade
split mortar
#

Tbh most of the flair is also the fact a decently big bomb levels a city

indigo glade
fierce pagoda
#

Why do we have Amidias of all people dropping lore bombshells about auric and soul attunement

#

Amidias coming in clutch for all lorers around the world

split mortar
#

Simple

He close as fuck to two seemingly quite intelligent gods

fierce pagoda
#

did anyone else ever mock attune auric before us

#

why else would Amidias know about it

#

or was it just speculation that he deemed true

split mortar
#

There’s probably some less intensely strong spells that do the same as auric

#

And so loop holes from those spells would work on auric

#

Just that auric is a pain to loop around

fierce pagoda
#

oh so other spells that use a worthyness mechanich, and if you can get around those spells, you can get around auric

#

but its easier said than done

#

type shit

sinful adder
#

Doubt it

It’s what I think is the case

tall delta

indigo glade
#

I find it interesting that some people, instead of becoming Gods, decided to use Auric Souls to force attunement on Auric Ore to work on it.

split mortar
fierce pagoda
#

can gods use auric ore? like arent they mock attuned all the time? or does the soul need to be put into the auric specifically

lean crag
split mortar
#

Nope

#

They can’t use it

indigo glade
viral juniper
fierce pagoda
indigo glade
split mortar
#

When they ascend they remove the auric trait of the soul

It’s now seperate and so they get rejected

tall delta
split mortar
#

It’s no longer considered auric

fierce pagoda
#

one thing is that auric is know about before us, but when we play its hidden until Yharon is dead, so was auric sealed sometime ago before we came along

#

or can it jsut be chalked up to being gameplay

split mortar
#

It existed before

#

And appears after yharons death

#

And it is hated by gods

fierce pagoda
indigo glade
fierce pagoda
#

so it was hidden at some point

split mortar
indigo glade
#

I like to believe that it was all just mined up, and Yharon's defeat somehow brought more into the world.

split mortar
#

Auric ore is the power the dragon held in its current life imbued into the rocks of the worldclueless

fierce pagoda
#

does auric reject the rocks surrounding it underground

split mortar
fierce pagoda
#

so like do you think auric cases tremors and earthquakes underground

fierce pagoda
#

like its shaking everywhere around it

split mortar
#

It’s probably not as violently strong as when another living being touches it

fierce pagoda
#

how come the auric ore doesnt reject us when its in our inventory

tall delta
# tall delta but its a theory

the other theory (i forgot to mention lol) is that gods that were attuned to the dragon whose auric soul they consumed can use auric

split mortar
#

Simple

Refer to this image

Don't question how game inventories work, they are always confusing.

who is the oldest Calamity character in game?

is it moonlord?

no maybe noxus

Don’t know moons age

I cannot have a fault of the human brain, because I do not have one.

split mortar

Nor noxus

#

Death is prob the one

fierce pagoda
#

damn it

#

what

indigo glade
#

Yharon.

split mortar
#

Death is one of the first three given auric souls

fierce pagoda
#

wher is that stated

split mortar
#

Statement

indigo glade
#

We do not have the birth dates of Moon Lord or Noxus, so the only option is Yharon.

fierce pagoda
#

is that top secret patreon lore stuff

indigo glade
#

Dragon of Death is also dead.

And Yharon isn't.

jared is also above second place auric dragon

Wait till the full lore is out, and we learn that the real villain all along was Yharon

So all but 1

split mortar

sinful adder
#

I wonder if there's a material that acts like auric but for attunement with elementals. Maybe one for each elemental?

#

Maybe demonshade is the one for brimstone elemental?

fierce pagoda
sinful adder
#

That's different I think.

#

Those aren't, like, materials.

#

They're a piece of the elemental's power, taken from them and made into a new creature

#

Like brimstone material

#

Though I guess brimstone material is literally the thing I described, but there's no attunement involved. Maybe there can be another, stronger one?

supple thunder
#

maybe infernal suevite

#

you need it to craft the summon right

spring helm
#

hypothetically, if we took the Ark of the Cosmos' tooltip literally, would the rip in spacetime bypass Calamitas' shield?

Just ping himclueless

omnicide

#

didn't a whole debate over some item tooltips being canon happen

#

and the tooltips were like "This thing can tear the sun in half" or some other unlikely things

high lynx
#

Tooltips are there to make you feel cool

#

Nothing else for like 76% of items

spring helm
#

Yeah obviously some of the stuff (a lot actually) isn’t canon

#

I was just asking what if

high lynx
#

Its like law’s sword in one piece

#

He can stab through magic shields

#

So i dont see why not

#

The shield is presumably brimstone magic (idk)

fading sun
#

Auric plantera when btw 🙏🙏🙏

sinful adder
#

Imagine if we got a ravager rework and it's another plantera clone

tall delta
#

would be so.......calamitous

fading sun
#

If that happens then auric plantera is guaranteed NOT to happen

sinful adder
#

I don't know what auric plantera is

fading sun
#

Cuz there would be too many planteras

fading sun
sinful adder
#

But it made me think of how there's a plantera for like 1 and a half of each of the armor sets that go in to auric armor

#

Plantera: uelibloom and/or Silva
Poltergast: bloodflare

fading sun
#

Imagine if you did that and fed it yharons soul fragments

#

I've been preaching this for a while now I'm making it happen one way or another

Auric plantera (silva)

Tooltip Info:
"Pressing Right Click while holding UP with empowered charges will provoke a Big Rip in spacetime and use all charges"
"If more than 5 charges were used, you can dash across the rip by holding UP"
"The physical culmination of your journey, capable of rending gods asunder"

Ark of The Elements Info:
"A heavenly pair of blades infused with the essence of Terraria, powerful enough to cut through the fabric of reality"

Galaxia Info:
"Freed from earthly shackles and coursing with cosmic power"

Wiki.gg Info:
"The Big Rip attack is not only based on the scissor-like nature of the Ark of the Ancients, but also on a hypothetical model of the end of the universe also named the Big Rip, in which spacetime itself would get torn apart by the accelerating expansion of the universe."

Wikipedia Info (Big Rip):
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Rip

It's clear that the Big Rip here doesn't cause an actual universe-wide Big Rip, but it does still cause a rip through space, time and reality as a whole. That, based on there being time (4th dimension), in the equation, as well as being capable of cutting through the distance between targets, kinda like Za Hando from JJBA, and how the Galaxia is supposedly "freed from earthly shackles", I say it has a 4D Attack Potency, only with that specific attack though, one that is meant to bypass durability

the best way I can think of to describe AOTC's Big Rip attack is that it's kinda like Ryomen Sukuna's (JJK, manga spoilers)) ||World-Cutting Slash, an attack that ignores durability and even ignores Gojo's infinity due to it attacking not Gojo himself but the space where Gojo resides, think of that but not on a mere spatial scale, but unlike Sukuna's WCS, AOTC's Rip is also going through time||

It's definitely an odd one, but I think of it as that for now, just ignoring durability on a 4D/time scale, while also being able to go/cut through a limited amount of space and time based on the 5-charges big rip doing that

#

so basically, it should be a 4D/Universe Level+ attack, in atp/dura negation, realistically it should be able to go through SCal's Shield and any other defense of hers unless she too is able to do something of that scale or higher in any way, shape or form

spring helm
#

we upscaling Calamity with this one

#

great work once again Omni

sinful adder
#

This is actually a perfect example of how power scaling is fucking stupid and wrong. A true understanding of physics would dictate that no, this is actually no different from a really powerful but ordinary object in this same number of dimensions that we have, or any arbitrary amount more or less. Would you like me to explain why?

mighty zenith
#

powerscaling is stupid when you use it to decide how good a piece of media is

#

other than that its pretty harmless i think

sinful adder
#

Yes, but on top of that it is also just factually incorrect

wheat walrus
sinful adder
#

Power scaling rules are logically incorrect and utter bullshit

wheat walrus
#

I know that powerscaling tries to do things more like fiction does things, rather than real life, while things from real life are taken, because so does fiction, the way the entire thing is structured is still more based around what fiction does

wheat walrus
sinful adder
#

Black holes do the same thing as the big rip, but "inward" instead of "outward". They create regions of spacetime that are cut off from the rest of the universe, from the point they are created to the infinite future. A black hole is an ordinary object, made of matter, and following all the normal laws of physics, albiet at their extremes. Therefore, in order to call the ark of the cosmos whatever level this is, you must also say that every single object in our real life universe is at that level.

#

I'm not mad, just annoyed

wheat walrus
sinful adder
#

The problem is that power scalers seem to think that their rules are objective and true and based on real physics, when they are not

wheat walrus
#

so long as people aren't going around and telling that fictional powerscaling is how things work irl then ion care

sinful adder
#

Do you ever interact with people like that?

#

Can you give them this example, if you do?

wheat walrus
#

well I don't interact too often with people who do dimensional powerscaling, like I know some who do it at times but it's not the main thing they do

#

usually I just limit myself to powerscaling more grounded stuff

#

and so do the people I surround myself with for these cases

spring helm
#

What does grounded mean in this context

wheat walrus
#

usually I go with what can be calculated using simple energy terms

#

rather than scaling based on dimensional coordinates n stuff

spring helm
#

So stuff hard locked in classical physics then

wheat walrus
#

cause it gets confusing and weird + people who do that tend to be mad toxic in several cases

sinful adder

This is good

cloud ibex
#

Power scaling doesn’t exactly interest me much either but when you jump out to call it fucking stupid and wrong and logically incorrect and utter bullshit it gives off the vibe that you’re pissed

sinful adder
#

That's a fair assessment. I think most power scaling is extremely dumb. I'm mad/annoyed about the idea of it, but I'm not mad at anyone here

split mortar
#

I think powerscaling gets dumb once it goes into dimensionality stuff and past infinite power type strength

#

And even dumber with beyond space time as a concept things

And did that multiple times

are there any theories on what formed the abyss

split mortar
#

It’s a normal geological structure iirc

Like the Mariana Trench

supple thunder
#

i thought it said somewhere that it’s immune to tectonics

#

“eons of tectonic shifts have left it unaffected” or something

split mortar
#

Then idk what could

#

Cause it’s before gods

#

So xeroc couldn’t have made it

supple thunder
#

yea so i was curious if anyone had any ideas

split mortar
#

Only noxus has the strength to then but the abyss has no connection to the distortion

So I don’t know what else it can be other then a geological structure but it’s resistant to their affects

supple thunder
#

maybe it’s like a crack left over from when the world soul shattered

#

(i have no idea what im talking about)

sinful adder
#

I think you're missing information

#

The abyss is directly above the brimstone elemental's home, so it is probably volcanic in nature

#

Especially because of the hydrothermal vents and such

#

It's also where anahita used to live, and where Silva has been imprisoned twice

#

3 of the 5 elementals have a direct connection to it

nice lore right there

split mortar
#

That may change when it becomes the mini boss for tier one

sleek halo
#

I hope SSO brings back the 2022 and 2023 ppl

hot valve
#

rea l

wheat walrus
hot valve
#

not that I was there then admittedly

untold oracle
#

Hello lorers

sinful adder
#

Man. I told myself I'd play calamity again when SSO released, and that was... 5 years ago???

#

Some time before the 1.4 port I think

untold oracle
#

What do we talk about

split mortar
#

Atleast SSO is only a few months probably away

split mortar
hot valve
#

My guess is Jan-Feb

untold oracle
#

Oh ok

hot valve
#

could be later, I hardly mind waiting longer

split mortar
#

Same

hot valve
#

gives me more time to get suggestions in before the update is added 🥴

#

anyway

#

Can dragons be like...any kind of form of animal?

#

I remember hearing some talk about a mammoth dragon
And then yharon plays a bit into bird-like features

untold oracle
#

I’m personally fine enough about the current lore disc

sinful adder
#

I'm amazed that both silksong and SSO have taken so long

#

I've been waiting for both for... Such a long time...

untold oracle
#

Though it could be good to have a mod to kill those boss taste discussions

split mortar
#

I’m mean, silksong isn’t much above the average time for a game to be made iirc

#

Just that they told the community about it from the start

sinful adder
#

It was planned to be released 2 years ago and then we've gotten literally 2 sentences about progress since then

hot valve
#

yeah big difference is SSO gets frequent progress updates, more than I've seen for any video game ever

split mortar
#

Scope creepnothoughtsheadempty

sinful adder
#

I'm thinking, like, did they run out of money or something???

split mortar
#

Def not hollowknight would have made bank for them

#

And ther merchandise

sinful adder
#

Sure, but it made bank for them like 8 years ago

#

Who knows what's up now

split mortar
#

It’s made them millionswires

sleek halo
#

you can spend millions

sinful adder
#

Concord squandered 400 million in that timespan

sleek halo
#

very easily

#

when used improperly

sinful adder
#

I don't think they definitely have financial issues

#

But like... They could...

sleek halo
#

SSO has some major scope creep seemingly

#

but Idm

split mortar
#

I think it’s highly unlikely they ran out of money and it’s more A scope creep thing

sleek halo
#

I just hope they get what they want out ofnit

hot valve
#

what is scope creep

sleek halo
#

Basically the scope of a project

split mortar
sinful adder
#

They keep wanting to add more stuff

sleek halo
wheat walrus
#

Cosmic Guardian
"Though of the same species as the nameless serpent, their minds and functions are far more basic. They possess very little will of their own and blindly follow the orders of their gluttonous master."

look at this

hot valve
#

Ah okay, thanks

sinful adder
#

This is definitely old lore

sleek halo
split mortar
hot valve
#

yeah that definitely feels like it's getting changed

#

that entry

split mortar
#

Yeah

wheat walrus
#

so idk

hot valve
#

that doesn't surprise me actually

sinful adder
#

I bet it's just a summon

#

Like. Created from mana and nothing else

hot valve
#

considering a DoG rework is in line, cosmic guardians will probably not be kept in it

split mortar
#

How much mana does dog have

#

Big bones and all

sinful adder
#

It would be funny to put all the removed content in like

#

GFB

split mortar
#

That may bloat the mods file size a lot

A addon insteadclueless

untold oracle
wheat walrus
#

Stormlion
"Some survivors of Ilmeris’ downfall claim that enough magical lightning surged through the sea during its final days that there existed not a single drop of water without levin coursing through it. Even now, electricity from the battle remains buried in the sands, with several antlions having learned to both channel and harness the former kingdom’s power."

whaw

#

if only I knew how to math the energy to electrify water rn

split mortar
#

Ontonilou was electrifying the entire sea to fight scal or something iirc

wheat walrus
#

probably

#

Otonilou* tho

untold oracle
#

Ilmeris survivors let’s go

wheat walrus
sleek halo
#

has bones

#

his biology is fundamentally different from ours

#

His body structure too

#

nothing about him is like us seemingly

split mortar
#

Looks like that’s a spine and rib cage

hot valve
#

iirc he has a skeletal system, but that is not inherently bone

untold oracle
#

You could say that they’re not like us

sleek halo
#

this shown?

wheat walrus
#

a few months ago

hot valve
#

when the new sprite was shown

wheat walrus
#

like august I think idk

hot valve
#

reveals his eye scar

sleek halo
#

Yea

wheat walrus
#

actually no

#

4th september

sleek halo
#

(a lot more than just his eye if u look closely)

hot valve
#

also, according to heart plus iirc
he's slimy

split mortar
#

Months ago

#

I think

sleek halo
#

god she

#

gave y’all such

split mortar
#

It’s before cei dropped a lot of sprites

sleek halo
#

a low resolution

#

version

#

jfc

hot valve
#

was shared aug 3rd

sleek halo
#

the other scars are so hard to see, but still very much visible

hot valve
#

oh?

#

i'm not seeing them, do you mind pointing them out?

split mortar
#

Other scars?

sleek halo
#

pretty sure they’re scars

hot valve
#

there's no lump in the middle of his head

#

this one i've sent is older

#

interesting

#

i assumed those were veins

split mortar
#

Yeah a updated one was dropped at some time

hot valve
#

or something similar to those

split mortar
sleek halo
#

so I assume they are

#

Just lighter ones thn

#

the one the eye

#

or maybe older

#

idk

untold oracle
sleek halo
#

Well they could very much

untold oracle
#

I love it

sleek halo
#

not be bones

hot valve
#

skeletal systems don't necessarily mean bone

split mortar
#

I assumed they were veins

The scar we see may be months old

sleek halo
#

His teeth are obviously not fuckin enamel and dentin

sleek halo
#

considering they’re inconsistent

hot valve
#

cartilage is a thing skeletal systems can be made up of

#

not that he has that either

sleek halo
split mortar
sleek halo
#

even have

#

blood like us

#

He doesn’t have our body structure

#

blood exists to fuel organs with oxygen

sage berry
#

Is Moon Lord stronger than even Yharon when at full power? Where does he really fall in the power scale when he is at full strength?

hot valve
#

for all we know DoG may not even be carbon based

sleek halo
#

who says he needs oxygen

split mortar
mighty zenith
#

full power fovos was cracked

sleek halo
#

in the verse

hot valve
#

'does the distortion have oxygen' is a very important question i've had for a while

sleek halo
#

He’d beat Yharim

split mortar
#

Fovos would have a chance at beating xeroc imo

sleek halo
#

pretty convincingly

#

Not easily

#

but but he’d most certainly win

mighty zenith
#

xeroc would have to put in effort

#

like actual effort

sleek halo
#

Yharon would honestly be a really easy fight for fovos

sinful adder
#

Why do all the calamity worms have a second set of external jaws?

sage berry
#

Well that’s a bit surprising, I’ll be right back, but I’m curious to hear more… some questions being raised are interesting to me.

sleek halo
#

he’s a fucking giant target

#

Yharim Imo would be harder than even Zeratros for Fovos to deal with

#

incredibly small

#

and incredibly fast

#

It’d be like fighting a fly but the fly can also hurt you decently

hot valve
untold oracle
#

I don’t complain

sinful adder
#

All the thousands of dragons working together couldn't beat Fovos, and the average dragon was at plantera level, with the strongest ones at Yharon level and the weakest at slime god level probably

mighty zenith
sleek halo
#

But hornets are tbf far easier

mighty zenith
#

its small and frail but can input some serious damage

sleek halo
#

to hit

split mortar
sleek halo
#

than a fly

mighty zenith
#

i mean fair

mighty zenith
#

but one fly wont do like
anything to you

untold oracle
#

Is it because they were ambushed so bad or were they prepared, was fovos just that strong?

hot valve
sinful adder
#

Fovos was just that strong

sleek halo
#

I do not believe

sinful adder
#

Though ambush wouldn't help

hot valve
#

no wonder people were so easily able to cull them to become gods

sleek halo
#

The dragons saw him

#

coming

#

also tbf

#

who’s to say they all worked together

split mortar
#

Fovos attacked chrysadia first or am I going insane

untold oracle
#

Where was this said?

#

That they saw fovos earlier

sleek halo
#

Sorry

untold oracle
#

Oh ok

sleek halo
#

Forgot to preface that

#

but I doubt the dragons

sinful adder
#

They said "I do not believe the dragons saw him coming" in two messages

#

Anyways yeah

sleek halo
#

ever faced anything like this before

sinful adder
#

Fovos strong

untold oracle
#

I don’t think all the dragons were loyal to each other

sleek halo
#

So they’d likely not have any idea

sinful adder
#

And probably had some special power

hot valve
#

there's definitely outcast dragons

sleek halo
#

of what the FUCK to do

split mortar
untold oracle
#

Speaking of which

hot valve
#

Well
I mean I'm sure dragons had died beforehand

untold oracle
#

Do you guys think there were single incidents of gods in the draconic era?

sleek halo
#

and with most dragons being eidolon level

hot valve
#

isn't it specifically the first auric soul being absorbed that people realized this could be done?

sleek halo
#

all you need is an aoe attack above that

sinful adder
#

No one had the god ritual before then

sleek halo
#

and you wipe the majority

sinful adder
#

So no, no one would have become a god

split mortar
#

Xeroc created the ritual

sleek halo
#

of the dragons out

split mortar
#

So no

sleek halo
#

in a singular attack

#

would likely kill/severely injure

#

like most of the dragons

#

probably 90% of them

untold oracle
#

Were the dragons aware of the ritual? I assume they did a similiar ritual to the fragments, but did they think the same can be done to them too?

hot valve
#

what happened between xeroc and zeratros was muddy and not really elaborated on but I theorize zeratros told xeroc to absorb the soul and gave him the ritual

untold oracle
#

I headcanon that too

#

Even better if xeroc was hesitant at first

hot valve
#

neither knowing the consquences of what would come of that

sleek halo
#

I kinda imagine

hot valve
#

It's interesting how little people know of xeroc

sleek halo
#

Xeroc came up with the idea

#

himself

#

Zeratros dying and not really being concious

split mortar
hot valve
#

yeah

split mortar
#

And providence doesnt from a statement

hot valve
#

if draedon doesn't then people really don't know

untold oracle
sleek halo
#

This doesn’t sound like the line of someone

#

who needed convincing

sage berry
#

I’m trying to process the Fovos situation as I just got back why is he so weak even still was he just never able to heal before he’s summoned by us?

sleek halo
#

“'What is the true price of the past being ever eternal?
Why must our future forever haunt us?'”

split mortar
sleek halo
#

I’m assuming the seal

#

had put him into a situation where he was unable to use

#

any magic

sleek halo
#

or anything at all

sage berry
#

And so couldn’t heal

split mortar
#

Yeah

sleek halo
#

Considering the second

#

that seal was broken

#

he came back

hot valve
#

Now that I think about it, draedon would probably know the locations of various of the last gods remaining yeah?

sleek halo
#

Yeah

#

Likely

#

he doesn’t give a fuck tho

hot valve
#

yeah

sleek halo
#

He actively is curious about what would happen

#

if Yharim lost

#

and died

#

he wants to see the impact on society

#

if they knew Yharim didn’t just die of natural causes

#

but if he was defeated

sage berry
#

Draedon knows a lot… but I don’t know the limits of his understanding either I feel like there are a lot of detains with him left to be explored.

sleek halo
#

Yharim has kinda

#

outlived Draedon’s need for him

hot valve
#

Draedon has said so himself iirc

sleek halo
#

as draedon is

split mortar
#

He knows a lot

sleek halo
#

He doesn’t know of Xeroc

sage berry
#

He doesn’t?!

hot valve
#

Draedon is not omniscient but he knows more than 99% of people

split mortar
sleek halo
#

Draedon had assumed

#

His exo mechs surpassed all gods

#

He would be correct

#

if not for Xeroc

#

Yharim even says so

sage berry
#

Yharim has said so yes

split mortar
#

The lore item from exos state draedon claims they surpass all gods

But Xeroc is leagues stronger

sleek halo
#

“even he is not privy to the Traitor Almighty”

sinful adder
#

It seems really weird that almost no one knows about Xeroc

hot valve
#

It is a bit strange yeah

sleek halo
#

a century iirc

#

last time cei posted the timeline

sinful adder
#

Yeah but even then

split mortar
sleek halo
#

Most ppl likely heard tale of him

sinful adder
#

People remember big important things

sleek halo
#

but tbf

#

I doubt he has visited terraria

#

in a while

hot valve
#

Xeroc ascending and doing literally nothing

sleek halo
#

or has been spotted

hot valve
#

what was even the point..

sleek halo
#

by anyone

#

if draedon doesn’t know of him

#

it’s fair to assume most don’t

split mortar
sinful adder
#

Our best guess is that he swore to protect terraria from only external threats and never interfere with the world itself

split mortar
#

Could be in the distortion hunting noxus from a mango leak

sleek halo
#

I mean it’s not like

#

he needs to involve himself

#

with Terraria

sleek halo
#

Things happen

#

times change

#

the crusade is about to be over

#

the era of gods has ended

#

a new one is beginning

sage berry
#

I would actually, thinking about it, love to see an addon that brings Fovos back to full power, sorry to hold us on the subject, but I just thought of this…

hot valve
#

I can see why yharim is so interested in what is to happen tbh

sleek halo
#

while the planet is in a shitty state now

sinful adder
#

I would imagine that noxus would be quite easy to find, as some big egg thing dormant in the middle with a bunch of stuff connecting to it, but this is entirely headcanon vaguely inspired by old lore

sleek halo
#

It’ll likely be better

split mortar
#

No need to be sorry

But yeah would be cool to see

sleek halo
#

Ngl

hot valve
#

with no dragons and very few gods, the balance of the world has been massively shifted into the hands of...who, exactly? I assume that's one of the big questions Draedon is so curious about

sleek halo
#

I imagine Draedon just going through space and just

#

runs into Xeroc

#

and is just like

#

“What”

#

“What the fuck”

untold oracle
#

”Gimme sample”

sleek halo
#

Bro even Yharon

#

wouldn’t have peaked

#

his interest

#

as much as Xeroc

split mortar
#

Yeah

sleek halo
#

A god unknown even to him with seemingly the ability to control light?

split mortar
#

Not just light

Primordial light aswell

sleek halo
#

One that far surpasses anything he’s even seen

real silo
#

Since draedon knows about silva but not xeroc and he claims exos are stronger than all gods does that mean silva is weaker than exos

split mortar
#

Yes

sleek halo
#

Yes lilely

hot valve
#

yes

sleek halo
#

it does

#

Yharim confirms it too

#

he obviously fought Silva

hot valve
#

considering draedon was around for almost the entire crusade

sleek halo
#

So him saying Draedon would be correct

hot valve
#

it means it's likely every god bar xeroc is weaker than exos

real silo
#

My goat is washed

sleek halo
#

Implies Silva would lose

#

And it’s not like

#

Draedon is one

#

to make unfounded claims

#

he’s not DoG

hot valve
#

there was probably a few gods stronger than providence that were just really hard to take down, but ultimately still weaker than exos

real silo
#

Jank you should fragment your messages less...

sleek halo
#

I try to sometimes but my brain is wired dumb

real silo
#

brain fog

cloud ibex
#

brain frog

real silo
#

no way...

sage berry
#

Could the Exos gain self awareness and sentience? Would they be complex and understanding enough to do so… I’ve been curious about that, ‘cause surely they could Draedon just prevents it?

untold oracle
#

I think silva before abyssification would be stronger than provi, maybe not dog level

hot valve
#

Draedon likes the exos so much because they aren't filled with sentient life

real silo
#

I'd like to believe silva is yharon level

#

Based off of fucking nothing

untold oracle
#

He controls them with his mind

split mortar
untold oracle
hot valve
#

What exactly is Hypnos btw
I hear reference to it, is it just scrapped exo brain? Is it planned to be added?

untold oracle
#

Isn’t it a fandom shitpost

hot valve
#

Is it actually

split mortar
untold oracle
#

Yeah

split mortar
#

But it was high quality and has its own addon

hot valve
#

Isn't there an actual pet item for it planned in the future content doc or omething lmao

sleek halo
#

Silva would be around Braelor

#

but slightly below

#

And Imo Braelor is above Yharon

#

but below Scal and the mechs

#

He managed to fight Yharim who was equalish to the exo mechs to a standstill

#

implying relativity

split mortar
#

I think silva isn’t a good combatant, quite strong among the strongest gods but she has very little offensive ability

But she shines in blessing others to extreme lengths seen with Jared and braelor to some extent

real silo
#

Silva's domain is strong but she doesn't seem like the type to be great at fighting

hot valve
#

real question is why didn't DoG eat silva

real silo
#

Didn't want to get wet

split mortar
#

And she didn’t die

hot valve
#

why'd they dump her in the ocean instead of throwing her into their hired wastebin- oh

split mortar
#

So no essence for wof

hot valve
#

before

#

hm

sleek halo
split mortar
#

Dog was in the later parts of the crusade

sleek halo
#

So it seems to me that the plan was

#

Have Braelor occupy and match Yharim

split mortar
sleek halo
#

try to entangle their weapons

#

And then have Statis come in for the last bit

#

or for Statis to just play assist

hot valve
#

Yeah I don't think we have a concrete timeframe for when DoG joined besides it being later

#

but how much later

sleek halo
#

cause iirc Braelor was physically

#

stronger than even Yharim

#

at the time

#

based off what Reb said

real silo
sleek halo
#

But Yharim has two things, fuck you armor

#

and skill

untold oracle
#

How would’ve statis killed him

sleek halo
#

Stab him

untold oracle
#

Does he just kick that hard

hot valve
#

stabby..

split mortar
sleek halo
#

probably in a spot

#

that’s not as heavily armored

untold oracle
#

The waist looks a weak spot

#

Since it doesn’t have auric iirc

sleek halo
#

Also btw

hot valve
#

likely areas include openings under the helmet where the neck was

split mortar
sleek halo
#

With heavy thanatos’ armor is

split mortar
#

It’s the auric Exo armour

#

Not the normal auric he had

sleek halo
#

Imagine how heavy Braelors’ axe is.

#

Made in the same way

untold oracle
#

Condensed holy wood

sleek halo
#

That axe is probably just as durable as auric

split mortar
sleek halo
#

and probably even heavier

#

I imagine he could actually crack and chip

#

Yharim’s armor

sage berry
#

How much can Thanatos really resist?

sleek halo
#

well considering he makes us do

#

1 fucking damage

#

a lot

hot valve
#

well, thanatos' armour is also partially cosmilite

sage berry
#

When a segment isn’t exposed

sleek halo
#

and made far differently

#

than the others

split mortar
sleek halo
#

it’s incredibly fucking durable

#

Like I don’t think Yharim

#

could cut through

#

even with all his strength

#

It’s probably fair to say Thanatos exceeds Yharim’s durability and own armor

#

a fair bit

sage berry
#

But it is supposed to be indestructible according to the maker but we can’t always trust him… sure he’ll be honest, likely has no real reason to lie but given he is a scientist it’s more accurate to say he hasn’t found something that can break though it

sleek halo
#

Likely nothing on this planet
