Holy flames burn their souls even as they are pulled towards the swirling vortex that roams the Void beyond the Veil.
Its maelstrom of whispers resounds louder than drums of war and the screams of death they summon. As the Amalgam nears its final moments, the collective pain of the souls it comprises is drowned out; the weakest of the weak, after all, lack the power to cry suffering—and what is the Polterghast, wreathed in cleansing flame as it is, but a speck of dust before the unfathomable, unfettered power of the Witch of Grief?
Identity begins to fade as two amalgamations become one. For a moment, their fates seem sealed: they are spiralling into an abyss laced with brimstone fury, destined to fuse with fire so hot as to make the flames of Providence seem colder than ice. Hundreds of thousands of souls finally find harmony within their shared, second demise…
But then the fires vanish.
The future’s single path branches into two; continue their descent and settle into the embrace of the Whispering Maelstrom, or entwine the seed of brimstone power before them with their suffering, and ascend to a higher form.
By now, their many minds have scattered—but a bond formed over decades of a cursed existence does not break so easily. The Polterghast coalesces once more, for if the afterlife its countless parts desire is beyond its reach, then the power to hold its own in the cruel world that birthed it will have to suffice.

i feel like this is all over the place
which is kind of fitting in this case??? but also bad
also just realised i haven't really proofread it so it might have some big errors
Day 5 of asking to add "Kanna, Envoy of the Lunar" to Calamity as a boss
hi kana
Bro why...
Is part of the reason Xeroc is so strong because he has the same domain as the dragon?
Or it has nothing to do with that, and it’s something else that made him so powerful?
Do the dragon domains affect the strength of a god?
Idk bro
he trained
and also because of the perfect ascension
and ofc the strongest domain
So, does having the same domain as the dragon influences the strength?
It probaly have better result yeah
K
i have no clue how to transition to the next bit though
whar does that mean
kinda
What
should i carve a cal character into a pumpkin
Why so violent
Ya
Yes
which
hey guys
not yhim
Uhhhh
Sepulchre
What about Nuclear Terror
We don’t know it’s design sadge
iirc
one of devs said
these little uhhh
radiators
are close to nc
i remember it was said here or at spoilers
Sulphurous skater is perhaps close
Radiator is closer to slugbuns
Triangle statements
Wait, I read nc as nt

Yes
Guys i just saw a power scaling video and a comment talking about power scaling and like how is moon lord stronger than exo mechs and calamitas ?
Was.
technically fovos is one of the strongest gods
but its not is
its was
Fovos isn't a god
if he was a god
Just really strong space squid
yeh
Why is it "was"
The dragons weakened it
Why tho he didnt do nuthin
Wow i like seeing a vanilla boss be actually important in calamity lore
Unless theres more of em that are important too in the lore
ML is definitely the most important
What did the chain reaction cause ?
Yharon revives
Oh
But still our character is kinda evil
The only real argument as the player being evil is the consequences of killing wof. Even then we probably didn't know until Yharim told us right after killing it.
That too
Yharim doesn't want the Hallow to be known
It kinda disproves the point of all gods being evil yk
Ohh okay
my DM's taking a break and now i'm the master
it's time to make my friends play TTRPG calamity

you're killing the supporter of a genocidal dictator, i think absorbing his soul would be better off for the world tbh
Okay thats nice we aren't the bad guy
i mean thats still up to u 
just saying killing yharon doesnt make you automatically evil
L
argghh
I pronounce red like wed
And I apparently have a :3 face naturally acccording to others
Why am I cursed

are you 3
No, 16
close enough

Die

Just checked and yeah that’s how I say it :(

i need to get an emoji that perfectly encapsulates "british"
(I know I’m not that distressed)
that isn't just 🍵
bwitish
lmao

Sunken Sea Ovuhhaul
That’s coffee not tea
bean s
Tea is leaves iirc
tea is nice and im not even british
i bought my brother a fancy set of forty different tea flavours for christmas a few year ago, yet i still haven't even had regular tea myself
granted, basic tea without sugar or syrup is disgusting
but razz or strawberry syrup makes it good
Would Calamitas drink tea or coffee
tea
besides the fact that i like tea and i'm just like her fr i think shes not a coffee person, its too bitter, and i dont think she likes bitter things. tea is calming and i think shed like something calming
well not all tea is calming but ygwim
Ya
Yeah, and definitly not the guy who is repsonsible for the deaths of hudnreds of millions in a century long war who commited atrocities on a scale not even replicatable in-game and said dragon who started and ecnouraged this stuff and proudly fought by his side

I don't really understand where the thought we're the bad guy comes from
I think xeroc is the bad guy
people justify it with "we kill alot of things"
most heroic characters do its called Taking Down the Bad Guys
Like
You who destory a bunch of things that threaten the lives of countless people and are makign the world a more uninhabitable place for all like a genocidal rock lady, a cosmic horror serpent who kills indiscriminatly, countless mindless murder machines, and a fuckload of beings that kill on sight, are definitly the real bad person here
is Link Zelda evil for killing 500 moblins
Yes.
Samus Metroid is evil for killing metroid guys
Zelda, the main character from The Legend of Zelda, is indeed evil.
the metroids were innocent and definitely not a invasive species that threatened the galaxy
And so is Metroid, the main character from Metroid.
because in every situation if you kill things youre the bad guy
just like in calamity
if you kill more than 1 killer the number of killers in the world decreases and less people end up dying
if you kill a killer
kill two
of the 45 or so bosses you fight, two of them (which are entirely optional and not even remotely required for progression) are on the more morally questionable side to kill
I think it is purely because this game has critters that you can easily accidentally kill.
and give like at least three dozen people homes to live
you're DEFINITLY the bad person in this situation

It's such a weird phenomenom to me
tea
how so many people come to this conclusion based on you kill alot of things
when like
you do that in most games
like i don't get why this community specifically has it happen so often
The lifekind, perchance
like obviously the character is a blank slate
an entire generation of gaming fans were brainwashed into thinking mario was an evil bastard and that was fueled further by countless parodies depicting him in a completely innacurate way to his canon incarnations
you dont HAVE to be a good person inherintly
but it's also literally impossible given the limitations of a game like terraria to be "the bad guy in this scenerio"
is is impossible due to the limitations of the game to be worse than yharim
mining out the entire continent is like as close as you could get
and even then
you just fucked one continent up
yharim has fucked stuff up on a worldwide scale
I love Undertale but it genuinely destroyed people's perceptions of videogames 
the effects of localized to the continent that's why there's so much shit going on with it
given i cant say too much right now but
i wanan go more inot
"ok in the long run killing WoF is a good idea even if some stuff short term sucks"
"no cost too great" 
listen thing needed to do down eventually. the alternative is is going down somewhere else in the world that's more inhabited.
I like to think Wall of Flesh wouldn't be able to contain all that essence long enough so it would just pop like a balloon someday.
Hardmode Evils
At this time of day, at this time of year, in this part of Terraria, localized entirely within your continent
also the same thing would happen if it jsut decayed over time
Not a continental threat.
exactly, it's creators are dead
eventually the magics stabilizing it ARE gonna wear off
it's going to fuck stuff up somewhere, eventually
best to deal with it in a mostly uninhabited place
than to have it eventually die off somewhere around, i dunno
one of the few city-states that's left
there are people outside our 2d plane right because there's stuff like houses in the forest backgrounds
and have the entir region destabilized
The only time it's actually arguable is the Moon Lord thing
might as well pop that fucker in an alreayd destabilized region
yeah
Like, that one time you did pretty much gamble on wether or not you could beat the guy
and to be fair, there's an argument for "listen those dudes are allied to yharim and you didn't know what'd actually happen"
that single house in the distance has so many implications for our morality
we beat it so it's all good
If we didn't, I mean
and even then, you beat it
There are a few people who'd stop Moon Lord anyways
But it'd still fuck some shit up
Like, of all the Post ML major guys
I think Providence would be the only one that wouldn't try to kill Moon Lord
If you didn't beat it, yharim would probably come down and beat it
I think DoG would actually
I mean Yharim is like
Like, he'd be the first to come down on Moon Lord
The first person aware of the fight
call upno yharon
fly beat
and kick it's ass
DoG is off doing other shit god knows where
I was gonna say Yharim didn't exactly have the motivation but
He asbolutely does
It's the thing that fucked over countless auric dragons
Thinking about it Moon Lord is probably the second thing he hates the most 
hello everyone
He'd totally go down to kick it's ass
ML feels like one of the few things around he'd still feel like fighting
why didnt yharim stop the moon lord? I thought he was a hero. Is he a fraud?

_ _

Byeah, like
I think there's an argument for the Terrarian being a morally grey force with dubious motivations
But the villain?
No fucking way
oh my god i cant remember if its a vanilla or calamity quote but isnt there an npc that mentions bringing the attention of something by starting the lunar events
amidias
calamitas: i worked for yharim. he was a fraud
Rebecca is tsun Yharim lore accurate
thank you
"The men at the front of the dungeon are performing a ritual to keep the Moon Lord contained in his prison. In order to gain Yharim's attention, however, you may need to defeat them."
i was gonna ask why amidias know about moon lord but he is the king of Ilmeris
on of the gods probably just told him

WHAT THE FUCK
lore discussion completely devolving the moment an unrelated gif is posted
The sky is burning.
Burning you, too, with tears of acid and shouts of thunder breaking down your armour and confidence at once.
It is fear that you feel: fear of the primal sort, like the intense dread that suffuses every nerve and muscle in your body and drives you to rapid action. Wisps of magic—weak from the suddenness with which you call upon them—swirl around your feet, boosting your jumps as you shakily leap from island to island.
The sea is large, but not untraversable; waves lash out at rock and life alike, but it is not the water beneath you that daunts your very soul.
You fear what lurks under the surface.
another thing i started ages ago
i really have no clue where i was going with it nor how to continue it
Yeah, claiming an artifact that ended an era, perhaps to end another or whatever
Us
We do that
I guess Dreadon did so too, he is gonna revolutionize current day technology
and make peoples lives easier maybe
Why make life easier when you can make more robots
Robots make life easier
now if he'd only disable the plague virus and clean up the mess he made in the sulphuric sea...
then the continent would really be safe
Draedon makes draedons life easier
The continent is basically a husk
and also maybe break whatever curse is fucking with the dungeon
The center of the Crusade
So that he can make his life easier again later
then i think the continent would be mostly safe
the fuck is draedon supposed to do about that
Science
i wasnt thinking about Dreadon when i said that
thats on us to fix
only way to fix that right now is to destroy the entire dungeon completely
you have a problem? just remove the thing that has the problem
Easy
Draedon Exotic Resonance Miracle Blight Nuclear Death Array
its like throwing away an entire TV that has a crack on its screen
Download lui afk and get the better drill mount
the crack is annoying, but if you dont have the TV you dont have to worry about the crack anymore
It is how I solve all my problems with people.
Same with my bones
Then why am I not dead
If im cracked at the video game…
Those who know:💀 💀
Do i get thrown away or does the video game
MANGO MANGO MANGO

idk it was kinda sigma saying that youre gonnna murder people so i went phonk mode
and crashed out
scary troll face style
Stop speaking.
I am losing brain cells from reading these messages.
It will be a delight for everyone's eyes if you do.

Why ?

Thanks for ^ing me btw
I didn't do that?
It was to this
Mango💀
Well im seeing it like it was you that ^ed me
Gen alpha language

Gen alpha language causes brain cell death
Wait.
it was probably on their screen only
WRONG REPLY
I hate clicking reply at the exact same second when a message appears.
_ _
Mobile moment
Yes indeed
My side shows what properly happened.
Since there is a delay between client and servers.
So what you are seeing is client-sided, but the message that I was shown was from the servers.
This should be granted permanently to all who speak gen alpha language
Which meant their message reached the servers before yours.
Yes
man what was that crime drama film starring tom mccarthy called again?
who framed roger rabbit
fucked up..
Mischievous gremlin
I think Draedon would want him alive
For studying
Nerd
and him being off the moon means that the one issue he’d have with him is gone
I mean there’s probably a ton to learn from studying ML
(Ngl, Xeroc not bringing ML up in boss rush seems odd to me)
(considering he caused the biggest thing to ever happen to mr sun)
maybe he just forgot
Well they already basically defeated him before so not as impressive now
he was just tired and it slipped his mind
If anything is going to stick with him, it’d be the auric dragons and fovos
(Also would be a great way to name drop….)
Maybe because they far surpassed Fovos, and is realistically more worried about the Distortion?
Maybe the lore writers forgot and are gonna add some dialouge later idk
yeah probs, writers forgetting stuff just reminded me of how Toriyama used to forget stuff all the time
so it came to mind as a possibility,
but lore writes for cal are probably way more focused on their lore than Toriyama ever was haha
Diabolical.
au
holonb
i was gonna say auric plantera but
now that i think about it
Auric
AU
Au
gold
auric is gold
confirmed
?
Confirmed.
You took a very roundabout way of getting to the conclusion that auric is a word that relates to gold
yers
You could've just looked at the etymology.
what etymology
i think its word history
study about word history
Astrum Aureus
astrum deus real
ik
AstRUM AUReus
oh i though you said "whats etymology"
im proper tripping crashout mode
man i
i really wanna suggest you do something rn
would the suggestion break rule 9?
Yharon plush
the rules aren't numbered stinky
okay the ninth rule in order then
dont make me go phonk style crashout mode
then potentially
would just
potentially
simply sending a gif
of a person
break rule 9
"rule 9 you say?" Those who know: 💀 💥

mango mango mango
Dont break rule 9 worst mistake of my life i almost died
have any of you even heard the mango phonk song
like i hope im not out here quoting stuff no one knows about like a mad man
Thats the problem everyone here knows about it
I imagine the order of the 1st 3 auric dragons were: Life [no known name], Death [no known name] and Rebirth [Yharon]
what about primordial light
They were probably all part of the same domain as well i imagine
Zeratros was after
Domain?
Domain expansion:

those who know as well
does that count as brainrot
JJK brainrot
Yeah jjk brainrot
oh so there are layers to this
Life, death and rebirth
It’s a rot with multiple types
That is the order I imagine
sounds like a band name
But what if all 3 of these aspects were for yharon
Cuz he lived
We killed him
And then he rebirthed
I hope that makes sense
Life, death and rebirth being part of the same domain [my theory] is like how darkness was part of Primordial Light's domain
There were life and death dragons
Hi lore chat
Hai cheese
guess what ive been doing the entire day
Writing?
RoY?
Gambling
yes. yes and yes
playing that game
No Limbus Company today?
writing for roy is fun but perhaps i should take a break to play limbus
Little motivation boost
I should take over writing.
can you write irish people
I can try.
me too
Try horribly, but still trying.
me too
Twins.
What does this mean,,,
Ireland for ever! and how are you?
i'll post it here too because it's tangentially related

P stands for Player here btw
i read it as "Hello :P"
I'm so smart...
Trueg
Okay
Respect your elders Vanillin

Would life dragon be able to be immune or resist the death aura of the death dragon
So is the life -> death -> rebirth order right? Or will that be revealed eventually in like the forsaken archives or aerealite books
yharons a boomer
Yharon saw the beginning and end for his fellow super birds
Poor guy szw fren dye
Yharon saw they funding and collapse of the funny aerie zoo
_ _
why was elmeris scorched
Because it had two gods inside it
what were the two gods
which one was the electric goddess?
Otonilou
Because she absorbed the soul of the dragon of storms
ya
Who in-turn absorbed a fragment of the world soul
in what way like did she just gave them electricity power or sm
Because storms are related to electricity, most gods don’t get the same domain as dragon but a adjacent one
Oh wait you ain’t talking about the god getting powers oops
Yeah it’s due to otonilou shocking the entire water iirc
Most of the underground desert used to be part of the Ilmeran Sea
The sunken sea is the area that survived
Nah
They just encountered electrified sand I imagine
Resist
That's correct
Yeah
"death aura" just call it the stink bruv
the lore
hey anybody here got a birthday in feburary?
i know this is oddly specific but it's lore revevant yes
my birthday is before that
is that good enough
nah, sorry, gotta be feburary

lament in sbc changes to the players perspective ? i always thought it was yharim's
ideally early feburary but any day works
i just dont know anybody with a feburary birthday so i'm asking here
anywyas imma go back to doing shit so ping me if your birthday is in feburary
back to onyx lab log writing
almost done with it
does november count 
has anybody considered lying. you could just say it is your birthday
I’d rather be able to use my actual birthday if something else comes up for my actual birth month
LOL
is that abriel lincoln
Yepp
abriel lancom
guys 1 billion pitbulls vs yharim
Abraham is gabriel frlm ultrakill and the secret creator of namco
pitbulls are winning no diff
nuh uh
God will copy right claim both of you for using his angel's name
wait until you find out this name existed before ataraxia got added
nuh uh
ataraxia is a buddhist concept therefore it's at least 600 times older than I am

hello chat
Draedon is not happy that the Terrarian put a giant laser in his planetoid lab
mark must genuinely be the must frustrating person to be in disagreement with
"y'know i think you could actually change-"
"yeah it's fucking flawless right?"
after like 900 words about Draedon's space bio-centre lab i finally get to write about the air elemental, the whole damn point of the chapter yippee
I don't think that makes sense, all the elementals take normal damage in game after all
I have them stronger in my fanfic, fighting them is like fighting the actual element
But yeah in actual lore I think a giant form of Draedon’s laser turret would easily destroy any cloud elemental
If this is the big planetoid, Draedon would know that it's the best place for a weapons platform, due to being in the center of the continent and having a useful power source and machinery already in place
Plus, it doesn't seem like he was using the place anymore
what is bloodstone?
alirght
why bloodworms aint spawnin til post ml?
is there any lore reason?
What laser ?
Probably litteraly Ravager a flesh and bone or something
what about bloodworms
They’re getting removed so prob not canon anymore
fr?
Might be outdated but these changes to suphur see
nuclear terror is becoming the final boss of the acid rain event so of course it's getting a rework
Oh so OD becomes a separate thing now?
yes
Oh yeah bloodworms are removed
The switched sides means regular/acid rain right?
yes
You should check the acid rain spoiler triangle sent it’s sick
Personally tought nuclear terror looks perfect already
Well yeeeah but it kind of looks odd when everything else gets retextured
That isn't in the current
And then you have one old one
That too
I kinda hope that calamity adds like very small settlements underground etc
The ppl would act like town npcs but wouldn’t be able to move in etc
I’m talking about the spoiler for the actual event
Like rain getting too heavy to be on surface
And water getting to acidic to stay in it
Wait do you have the message link
I’ll look for it when I can
I would get it but broke.,.,..
It cool
Nuclear terror have no frens 
But everyone runs away when it comes…

That’s what happens if they don’t
It’s a sentient nuclear meltdown I would be surprised we don’t get hurt being close to it
loaded up on antirads
Tmelee users gonna be happy
You make a fair point.
Here’s why I wrote it like that:
The planetoid lab is the smallest of the big Draedon labs, just the core room and two adjacent rooms.
So I imagined that the planetoid was only large enough to barely fit the lab as it was.
I only showed one section but an earlier part does mention that even more of the planetoid had to be hollowed out to fit everything the Terrarian wanted, which weakens the islands structural stability.
Too bad they’re getting rid of TMelee anyway
WHAT
Peak
Melon is famous
Yeah at that point building a separate thing in orbit is a better idea
Nah I thought something else was meant
Instead of just removing the title tmelee
Ah
That’s right
They’re removing tmelee as a concept
Now only ”melee” projectiles deal melee damage
Melee class summoning magic ranged projectiles
How is ranged one
Ranged is bootleg mage, it counts ig
I’d say summoner is way more mage
It's supposed to be a joke
Oh ok

cragmaw looks tasty tbh
PLEASE
There isn't a cragmaw sprite yet
i am sorry i just meant this green slime
under nuke
I thought it was renamed to nuke slime or something similiar
Nuke slime was a placeholder name
Who's they in this context
wotg devs
That just feels offensive to me
I was gonna say that
I get not liking the Boss but making so Old Duke just fucking dies to your Boss because of that just feels
Bleh
At least, assumign that's an actual wanted/planned feature in the mod and not just a funny
Yeah, of course
Honestly I really don't get what so many people dislike about Old Duke
I don’t think there’s a single bad or hateable boss in base cal (except maybe in master but I haven’t touched that)
Ravager sucks
i'd guess it probably wouldn't happen more than once if it is planned
Eh
I understand it but by this point I think it's just bleh
OD is just forgettable (as of right now)
as person who currently doin ranger playthrough i admit
Like, I get it, Old Duke has a world of controversy behind it
I don’t hate it
and probably not before you've beaten him once
Yeah imo that's the worst thing Old Duke is
How is it controversial even? 
Actually four, pretty sure
Is it because dokuro
i think the circumstances surrounding its creation?
Tl;dr a bunch of Devs didn't like it, Fab still added it in the Mod anyways
Oh
(that is, fab went "wouldn't it be cool if there was another harder fishron fight")
It was more a 50/50 split afaik but yeah

Like, again, I perfectly understand not liking the Boss and I understand Dom's opinion of it is soured due to that
But still
Man
It's been 4 years
tbh i somewhat dislike concept of lets just copy and paste pre ml boss into post ml and make it harder
That’s such a bs reason to hate it now, especially now that it fits in the lore and the new design looks amazing
Can we please let go of the Old Duke hatred boner and just accept the thing is there?
i just ignore his existence
like i said i doubt they'd make it actually ruin your first fight if you do want to fight him
I mean Old Duke isn't really "Duke Fishron but harder", at leats m,echnically
plus it might not even be a thing that exclusively happens to OD
they could've chosen OD to showcase it simply because controversial modded boss
i agree with cei
And I don’t think yharon does
Yeah, by this point I'm not exactly talking about WotG
More so everyone
i dont really remember how old duke was tbh
I still see the OD hate boner every now and then and it's pretty bleh
last time i played base cal not infernum was 4 months ago 
I think ravager is much better target for hate
Then why the hell are you complaining about it if you admit you have basically no idea what you're talking about

i didnt said i hate it
Tho ofc it’s getting fixed too
Ravager getting hate is beating a dead horse pretty much
i dont like concept of pre ml boss being at post ml but harder
You know something I LOVE about old duke that I wish a lot more bosses did? He gets exhausted allowing true melee to be a lot more effective
Same with aureus even though they’re fine
thats all ive said
Lmao
Same with aureus which is nice
Why does hivemind have purple armor tho
i dont have negative opinions on astrum deus and providence even in base cal
Fair enough, I guess
Old sprite
ebonstone
I think the sprite could be changed
Even if I don't get it
(™️)
demonite?

I think the only Boss which deserves to be hated is Wall of Flesh because I fucking hate Wall of Flesh
The gods aren’t an idiot
Triangle will resprite the evil 2 bosses
purple=demonite right?
also ebonstone
I’m fine with wof, I like the concept aswell
i mean it could be demonite too, pretty sure he does drop demonite, after all
You have to admit though it’s an incredibly unique and awesome idea for a boss
Wall of Flesh and Ravager are deifnitly my two least favorite bosses in the mod by far
a lot more people like it than a bunch of cal bosses
Agreed!
which i feel like is just
vanilla bias
I hate WoF
except golem
And it sucks dick!
I don't like Wall of Flesh from a baseline mechanica standpoint
Golem is just a joke in vanilla
like i swear every vanilla boss gets like no hate except golem and moon lord occasionally
golem was actually pretty hard in rev ngl
I think it looks pretty meh, perforators have a much more ”barely alive remains of a god” feel
Bed of Chaos . . . . . .
Bed of Chaos.
The Fargo souls wall of flesh is one of my favorite boss fights
Bed of chaos…
Bed of Chaos? at least take me out to dinner first
bed of chaos...?
wall of flesh is dead
I do like that fight
:(
tru
Yeah I've always found it strange how people in this community treat mods way harsher and hold them to a higher standard than the actual game itself

Like
That’s weird
This is the only community I've ever seen this in
even with golem, people generally make fun of him due to his difficulty, not because of the design of the fight
minecraft
Moon Lord only gets hate in the modded community really
Because
which i cant say is very good 
His code sucks absolute doodoo ass
Bed of chaos…?
Cause calamity is just a lot more difficult than vanilla in general which makes people reflect more on the flaws in why they aren’t winning
I see people complain about base game minecraft all the time, personally
I mean in general
It's definitely the Boss that wears out the fastest
i remember it being VERY frustrating in my first playthrough
might have something to do with a lot of modders simply going a lot farther than vanilla's pretty simplistic designs
and the only strategy that seemed to work pretty consistently was running away (fucking boring)
Shame moonlords code sucks
well, maybe not a lot but some do
Queen Slime is the only Vanilla Boss I say is actually dogshit
fovos
like
okay honestly i fully believe QS doesnt get as much as hate as she should because a ton of people skip her
she is easily my least favorite boss in the game
what would be the most visually impressive fight in vanilla
Destroyer at the bare minimun is the butt of every joke
Moonlord in vanilla is just 1 calamitallion offscreen projectiles
EoL, maybe?
Empress of light
empress
Easily empress
its like
entirely pretty colors
Honestly if I wanted to play a boss focused game I'd just go play another game entirely
The appeal of terraria and cal to me isn't the bosses
world of difference
certain modders go so far beyond what the vanilla devs would ever do, of course that's gonna raise the bar a lot
And yet there’s plenty of qol mods that make things that aren’t bosses extremely quick to progress in and so bosses are the only thing that takes time
i mean yeah but in communities where the quality of mods do outshine the base game i usually see like "Wow, the devs for this game are really lazy" (even if this is usually false), not, "Wow, the modders need to start stepping their game up"
minecraft
comes to mind immediately
What are they?
1 - NPCs
2 - Queen Slime IN SPECIFIC
3 - Actually that's about it 
would terraria's modding and base game be considered equal in quality
What’s wrong with npcs?
Thought you hated wof
And NPCs are probably just my writer bias showing
i'd argue the reason for this is how generally likable and approachable relogic are
compared to mojang who are owned by satan incarnate (microsoft
I hate Wall of Flesh for how inflexible it is
Yeah that makes sense I suppose
Making Wall of Flesh a cool Boss is just
Mojang themselves are chill but they're owned by evil
500 times more difficult than any other Boss
Hai cheease
hai
Ah so like moonlord they suck ass to mod
I gotta agree "Actually that's about it
" is somthin they did horribly wrong
It started as a sort of Duke Fishron skin for the Sulphurous Sea and escalated into a full-on boss
WoF is the definition of "cool on paper"
Unfortunately, that kind of idea happened more than once, from the looks of it
like yeah
the idea of the boss is awesome
You kinda gotta entirely revamp either Hell Generation or the Boss Fight to make anything different
but its execution shows how flawed it is
what a message to walk in and see
