Well unless you make your OC like marks then they get dunked in shimmer buckets or something
I remember Reb or someone else saying that like full power ML and Noxus were like the 90s
but wait we kill Noxus
But they said ml was not 95 cause that’s too close iirc
We fight above our pay grade
Noxus is stronger but ends up dying thanks to us anyways
(The way they worded it didn’t mean we were garunteed to be the one who actually killed them)
Garp was very much the inspiration when I was writing Yharim’s fight with my Terrarian
A child with a gun isn’t stronger then a martial artist
They’re more deadly but it’s not due to the child itself
I would kinda say they are atp
the gun makes the difference
The gun doesn’t become part of the child
Also this, we may cause Noxus to get whacked by xeroc or something
Kinda depends on how you see it, since you'd be fighting Noxus with whatever overpowered gear you'd have at that point and probably a backpack or two of potions, and it'd just be working off of pure birthright
You don't win fight because your strong, you get called strong because you win fights. type shit
Thanks to a material advantage not their own strength and skill, more dangerous not equal more powerful
and im using stronger in a sense that who would live and die after a fightt
Oh the yeah
but obviously i get your point
Now if you did one of those beginner gear challenges with him, that might be a different story
Because then it's officialize that you can beat him just on merit of skill, even if you'd never out-strength him
of course a child with a gun isnt STRONGER than a martial artis
im just kinda going crazy with definitions
In that definition yeah
this makes me think then, would you say that the weapons the terrarian uses isnt a part of the terrarians strength?
I think thats kinda unfair
I doubt Yharim could of killed Shakidou without armor and weapons
I think it’s a mix of both, the weapons are ludicrously strong legendary weapons but they need someone able to weild and push them ti their limits
Rebecca also scaled the terrarian to being able to like hold a house in one arm iirc
Oh yeaahhh, good point
What is the heaviest weapon we hold
like ignoring inventory shenanigans
what is the single heaviest object the terrarian is shown holding
I know the name isn't literal, but the Supernova might be up there
Yeah the exo weapons are huge as hell
I think Exo blade, it’s swing animation is huge
Yeah but that’s heavy for a hm terrarian not a post game terrarian
think about the future exo spear
imagine if its thrown
how much force would the terrarian need to generate in order to throw it
I think Exo blade is the biggest and heaviest due to swing anim, throwing items on the ground causes the sprite to be bigger if it’s higher quality and so shouldn’t be used for size and weight iirc
woah wait i think maybe the resprited Magnomaly cannon may be the heaviest thing the terrarian holds
Maybe
Y'know, this probably wouldn't conceivably be added, nor do I think it should per se, but it'd be a bit interesting if the use speed of physical-use weapons (most melee weapons, bows, stuff like that) scaled with game progression
oh like the stronger you get the faster you swing it
7 teratons dummy
Tera?
speaking of miracle matter weapons
Terraria mentioned
Tera as in TRILLION
So city to country is over 1000 times difference
Stfu
y'all think a miracle matter whip with an alt-fire that tethers you to the target but deals constant tags and hits would be decent?
explosion work like that sadly
Mhm! Like for that example, maybe the rockscalibur would start off really sluggish in pre-hardmode, but then have a much lower use time by the time you beat the Exos and/or Supreme Cal
That won't happen
But would it be decent?
it's for my add-on
I'm tryna think of what I want the miracle matter whip to be
wow way to kill a mans dream Vanillin
"yo i have this cool idea", "that wont happen fuck you, you suck"
🐌
calm down
But yeah, probably cooler in concept than it'd be in execution, because this would pair horribly with late game weapons
Like, if you didn't find a way to tie this progression scale to characters instead of worlds, said weapons would either be painfully slow to use in new worlds, or they'd have to not be included at all
I didn't say what it was for
a man dies when is dream dies!
Byeah the only whips planned are
Rotten Maw, Skycaller Lash, smth else, Ardor Blossom Star, Profaned whip, post-DoG whip and post-Yharon whip
now wait i misquoted the shit out of that
I naur, it was the joke
shade best developer for adding a pm reference , truly
Trully
in my add-on there's going to be a miracle matter whip, two abyss whips (one post skeletron, the other post polter), one from a post prov boss, and a astrum deus whip
Neat
whauu Stratus whip?
Do you have a team for your addon already or is it just you
not stratus
just me
damn
I'm not gonna bring in others, not yet anyways
I need to get more concrete ideas before I consider that
coding, spriting and music will all be done by you or do you plan to get some people to help?
I guess stuff like this actually kind of helps me realize how tricky it can be to balance attention to detail, ease of development, and actual enjoyability for players
that's pretty neat
music scares me
If im ever making music for my own game/addon im just gonna be singing into the mic not gonna lie
i wanna learn how to compose some day
been thinking abt getting guitar lessons
need to double down on the goth girl energy
@fierce pagoda ever heard of a siphonophore?
no, is it cool?
I love those guys
1 sec
giant jelly tube
oh those things
that is actually alot of really tiny jelly tubes that got together
when we talked about abyss enemies that one time
there's gonna be a space siphonophore in calamity
.
it's one of the planned critters
yes it drops it
it's gonna be in layer 4 of the abyss
honestly not anything out of the ordinary for terraria
it's also one of two whips that'll make minions deal a debuff when attacking the tagged target
How far along is your mod? only in the idea phase currently?
idea phase yes
I have however tried to code in two of the whips
specifically the astrum deus whip and the rusted anchor chain (post skeletron whip)
the astrum deus whip refuses to function though and it annoys me
specifically it makes minions deal acid venom and eutrophication
I have a question, not exactly of the lore
I know that the whispers are not in-universe thing, and that they'll be eventually replaced by something else
But if I'm trying to make a calamity fanfic, what should I use for Yharim to communicate that would make sense in universe?
letter
so he would be sending letters at every boss?
Bro is mailing you the lore lol
Carrier pidgeon.
Bet you Draedon would be more efficient and just E-Mail it to you
We dunno, yharim will just be talking to us via a different way that makes more sense then him brain blasting us with a 30 minute unskippable cutscene
Communicating via dreams
Bruh i wanna fight yharim not talk tuhim
That will be soon™️

Ew
The brainrot has consumed me
WTF
The darkness...

Guys, should I do another master infernum run
No you should shit your pants rn
For shits and giggles (I’ve done 4 infernum runs already)
Bet
Uh, just use Fargos mutant to whack the stats up high instead of master
Also errrm btw this errrm isnt the right chat for talking about infernums and addons actually..... Soo errmmm can you like errmm gtfo lololol
Ftw is harder btw
That would be just stat bloat
^
Errrm, no
I like to suffer
Still, masochist gfb would be actually harder I think then infernum with stat boost
Bro stuttered in a message
I-i-i-i-i-i didnt stuttered wdym
Flowey the skibidi
Eat glass
Fucking die
💀
Tee hee 🤭
Guys im literally going insane
Insanity
Lol insanity
Habble
Infernum reference
What would this be
Lmao
Lol this is funny
Ima grab my cal plushie, cuddle that goofy thing and fall asleep
Cuz it’s 1 FUCKING AM
Same lol
Need money for buying more games
This isn’t even lore discussion anymore
Dw this chat is very oft off topic
But let's not stay offtopic cuz sometimes mods wander around
What if I secretly am a mod on an alt? (I’m not)
Omg
Delusion
Ima go chat with my cal bot on jai (it’s the only effort non horny bot on the entire website…)
Alright goodbye
That’s common
the DoG have an auric soul?
after all him is the Devourer of Gods
him should have an auric soul obtained of consuming a god
but the power
Also gods don't have auric souls, they have their own souls
makes sense
Does all cows even have horns
maybe
no not all of them but most do
Anyway but then what does dog get from eating gods ?
nothing
He kinda dumb
it sends the divine essence to noxus
He just eating gods cuz he hungry
(Probably. Technically not confirmed but it's like 99% guaranteed.)
Does he even gets like idk stronger or sumthin ?
no
Gods have their own soul type different to auric so no
Dog doesn’t absorb souls on consumption so no funky soul stuff
Dog just that strong
i mean
if him eated a god
he should be stronger than a god
isn't it?
He doesn't absorb it
Yeah, but that doesn’t make it a god
i know
Or gain properties if one
Dog is stronger then most gods anyways
Guys when scal says "An upstart who recklessly stole and killed their way to power. I wonder, who does that remind me of...?" who is she talking about ?
The upstart is you
The person it reminds you of is yharim
but
the dialogue is outdated anyways
¯_(ツ)_/¯
Outdated dialogue
But that’s her comparing you to yharim
Mhmm
Again, DoG doesn't absorb the god essence
Since when was "you eat something = you get its powers" a universal rule
that was a thing in old lore yeah but not in the current version
I don’t get stronger when I eat sweets and that’s a bigger reason for me to gain power then dog
Eating makes you less hungry, it doesn't always make you stronger
So dog ate gods just cuz he hungry
What does that mean ?
Dog sends god essence to the distortion and Noxus gets it, for whatever it does
rather than it actually digesting the essence it gets dimensional rift'd to noxus
I think noxus made dog, so no
Dog wouldn’t exist imo
If noxus didn't exist then dog wouldn't have a need to eat gods probably
or just not exist yeah
Noxus is just making his slave do his job bruh he's such a coward
I mean, when your no1 opp is the fucking sun I imagine that’s a fair response
Ig lol
Good luck surviving when the fucking sun god telefraggs your neck
So he's making dog do his job because he's scared of xeroc ?
I mean if noxus comes and eat gods n shit it's not like xeroc is gonna come here and be like hey can you stop or smthin
(Also mango leaked lore that may become canon and that xeroc is hunting Noxus in the distortion)
cursed thought
because i headcanon dog has a british metal face like voice
wouldnt that make noxus british too
Noxus cannonically is british and supports trans rights
yeah hes gonna like
kill him probably
Just means noxus wanted a Brit as a child
well we can't kill him now :(
why would you willingly make your son british
Can't he just kill dog instead
I doubt noxus can just
Shit another dlg
That's abusive
Dog
HEY, IM BRITISH
RUDE
Yeah but killing dog would still help
FUCK YOU
if your parents werent british and they willingly made you british i think id call child protective services
He cant make dogs fast anyway right ?
I’m an accident
Like he can just make 1 then he gets killed and then he's helpless and has to do the job all by himself
i hate that you worded it like this because i imagine the same absolutely disgusting sound divine makes in hollow knight when she shits out the unbreakable charms
do we even know if the devourers are a specie
And who says those few seconds isn’t long enough for noxus to fuck off and nuke a continent or something
i think devourer is just 1 guy
Same
Ig lol
bro is actually the servant of the scourge
holy shit
Isnt storm weaver close to dog ?
no
theyre both distortion worms but theyre unrelated distortion worms
I think they’re just a flesh construct thing that does its job for noxus now
Does Xeroc not know that DoG is helping Noxus?
Unrelated worms, dog is just sus of weaver
Why they do my boy dog dirty like that 😔
draedon himself says that "one might assume they are related, but any further inspection would prove otherwise" or something like that
Dog needs to be treated better
It’s a theory not confirmed
I hope its not confirmed
Hey, portal is stronger then providence
Probably yharim tbf
Also thats the hive distortion theory right ?
Yeah draedons
Alr
Well i hope its false
Cuz i love dog
I want him to be my lil space wormy guy
Not a used up slave
Well he might not be a slave
I mean
If dog is part of the hivemind
That means noxus was speaking through them
And was being brutally honest about the ceaseless void thing lol
Could dog physically beat noxus ?
No
Like if he takes noxus by surprise
Imagine if a random storm weaver is more powerful than providence, what kind of cracked dimension is distortion? Just Causally housing post ml beings
no
No
noxus is literally a post yharim superboss
Sint that supoosed to make him stronger
😔
Can he even get stronger at all
Probably
Except like
Organic and all
Getting new armor
with outside reinforcement? yes
Bruh
Pretty sure working out and stuff would work
But won’t surpass scal imo
Dawg 😔
Dog is a fun guy
So I want Noxus to be speaking through dog
So we get to experience more of dogs personality
And? Still a fun personality
I mean, not really. Providence is a harder boss, the portal is just later in progression
Later In progression means it’s stronger
Also how is a portal stronger than a holy goddess
it isn't
Because noxus made it, so it has absurdly high amount of energy for the self defense seal to draw upon
It is
what the guh
Bruh noxus made everything
Isnt xeroc like the big strong god of evrrything
He made shit
no, that would be draedon
Actual moron
We only know noxus made ceaseless void garunteed
xeroc is the god of primordial light
Noxus making dog is my theory
I think providence could pretty easily beat CV
no
Gosh he mad eso many stuff
he actually made basically nothing
that's literally what I said
It’s a boss further in progression
Scal isn’t weaker then Exo mechs cause I find her easier no that’s me not the lore
This was talked about before lemme get it
Who wins between
All 3 exo mechs at once
And scal
Is the power of exo mechs the power of all three combined ?
I would like to argue that they are at the same point in progression
Rune of kos dropping from providence:
no, scal and exos
Scal and exos are at the same stage of progression
Just some people might find one easier than the other
also, you can make rune of kos without providence
hell, I might skip past providence for a bit next playthrough, to get a sentinels tier weapon
You can make dog right after ml, doesn’t make dog same tier and guardians
that's true
but still, it's like...
at what point does something count as the same tier
Ceaseless is still post prov in progression so it’s still stronger
Even if barely
Which it isn’t
We only fight the seal the portal remains fine
i always find scal a much more climactic fight than draedon as the final boss spot
like draedon is just the climax of his curiosity on the terrarian into a legendary test
but calamitas is a battle to help someone realize they need someone to heal their wounds inflicted long ago
Tbh the idea that storm weaver is stronger than providence feels wrong to me
She already knows, but now she isn’t alone to heal
Also yeah I agree with scal better
It does but I feel that’s due to the boss generally not being very hard not due to it being insignificant
calamitas feels more climactic to me in terms of relevance to the story
exo mechs feel like more of a pain than anything
its hard, but not in a way that's fun
For me Exos feel perfectly as the boss before scal
I also think the music and colour scheme go well
I agree, but I do wonder if that'll change when Yharim is released
Tbh i got more hype on draedon rather than scal
They please better do better then scal
because of the labs
and all the bosses
made by the dude
Also mechs are inherently cool
Not saying draedon has a lack of build up
But I think scals theme of magic and the colour red specifically help with it more
Also yeah mechs cool
Maybe also bias from her being the old only final boss idk
The meatball no?
This isn’t even a difficulty thing I find her piss easy
what reason was there for her to look like that tho
She was never meatball?
never got it
she was like
a round object
like an eye ofchtulu type boss
In old lore it was due to being changed by the dark magics™️

She was an eoc looking boss
Literally started as a edgy red eoc then turned into the metallic one then the one we know now
pipeline
she transitioned but instead of male to female it was eyeball to girl
AEaB
Calamitas is trans but not conventionally, got it
What are the implications of "ice worms" being added to Calamity
ice worms are not being added to calamity. sand worms are being added ❤️
Right
Aren't there like...five different sand worms?
Well that is a fair point
Oh i guess if you count juvenile desert scourges that'd be 4
and then with the baby scoogs coming in SSO that's 5
so i guess you're right, technically
I personally headcanon dune splicers and tomb crawlers as the same species though bc... cmon
Yeah I definitely see it
there's this thing i made a while back which i'm reposting becvause i dont think you saw it
i also made one for antlions
i should make a new one
I remember this
Back when they had that pfp
yur
Of the funny plush woman character in hand
Ye them
I wonder what the relationship between the GSS and Dune Splicers were
Since GSS was the apex predator
the two literally me characters
Also Dune Splicer and Desert Scourge have the same acronym..........
well gss is gonna be like a ghost
so i dont think its an active part of the enviroment
which i'm glad because uh
great sand shark lore is kind of a mess?
Yeah I can't really tell what goes on with it sometimes
it's supposed to be an illmeran survivor but
-how did a shark suddenly manage to live on land
-what are the normal sand sharks. are they like a smaller species. and if so are they native to the desert or also illmeran survivors? if they're illmeran survivors, why are there like. so godamn many
also
-does it compete with scoog???
yeah but that dosen't really answer most of the questions at hand
i doubt its related to sharkoons tho
actually no
i think its likely to be related to sharkoons, more so than pulse raptors
atleast in its current iteration
its fins has these like, claw things
sharkoons also have claws
which leads me to believe they're probably related
less so than pulse raptors since pulse raptors have normal shark fins
I think they did compete with the scoogs, but there is like barely anything about it
They were both predators in Ilmeris
i mean i think they probably came from different enviroments
but my main concern is at their current state
they're both fat desert things
do they like
compete
the nefarious mole
yeah it has the big claws
It looks,
Soft
Round
It does look like a mole
Not pointy or threatening
great sand mole
Suppose it convergently evolved the shark body plan
genuinely don't know why it exists tbh
it kinda needs more content tbh
cause uh
I've never had to use any of its drops and if boss checklist didn't have it I likely wouldn't have known about it
I just realized somthing
Pumpkin moon is not canon in any way
Including the drops you get from them
So if horseman's blade isn't cannon... Does that mean zenith isn't cannon?
I feel like there isn't much reason for it to be
me when I see something that isn't very good
Zenith is supposed to be the culmination of the journey in vanilla
Doesn't really apply to calamity
If anything that be the exo blade
in the exo straight up blading it
exo blade should be cooler imo
and not be miracle matter
You can just pretend the horseman’s blade isn’t in the recipe and zenith is fine
Funny enough, I remember thinking up an idea for something that'd combine the Zenith and Ark of the Cosmos called "Ark of Ascent", and I didn't think of anything that it'd actually do, my main idea was just that its tooltip would include Draedon gawking at the idea of the Zenith and naming it specifically to protest it
I love how that's really the only established about the player character
They're bad at naming things
except that spazmatism and retinazer are cool...
Skeletron Prime...
The destroyer is accurate because it destroys my entire town's population
Well bad by draedons account
(or technically me as well
hi goose

Hello lore chat
i wuv you :3
actually here's a bit of a different question
if someone were to consume both the auric soul of flame and gluttony what god do y'all think would be created?
wait that actually just spawned a neat idea in my head
slime god but his paladins always burn up so he’s useless
Well canonically, they'd die a horrible and brutal death, but Mars' idea is more fun!
I have been awakened
idt there's a canon answer for eating two souls
Hi pengorino
fair, I just know that the average non-dragon body isn't really built for one auric soul, let alone two
I wonder
what would happen if an auric dragon absorbed another auric soul?
I imagine yharon would be absolutely livid
I think ice dragon did that
and all his child turn into a pigs or something
Dragon god yharon
still think the future bosses were a really cool concept
I hope they get revisited some day

very doubtful since they were just reskined bosses with just boosted attacks and such
Eh
Personally I think it would be a cool replacement for the boss rush
They'd need more changes than what the previous future bosses were like but still
either way, iirc DoG isnt hunting providence anymore
so
those 3 future bosses werent good either
MmD could have been what god yharon was. Goozma to Luni, and andromeda to DoG
at least when some of them were still possible
Hell I'd be down for specifically a future draedon, scal, and plaguebringer
who tf andromeda
looks like providence crossed with bmo
It's based on Star Dream from kirby
torch god 
That only works if gluttony can only lead to slime

Holy shit new Wulfrum mage weapon? 🤯
?
wulfrum arcanum
Wulfrum Wumbocanon

The fuck kinda dmt monster energy can
Star dream
is the idea of a world soul shattering and the fragments granting powers to their wielders based on ||adonalsium|| from brandon sanderson’s cosmere
because they’re very similar now that i think about it
a very rough DoG sketch cause i just woke up
i am a stick

dead internet theory
I read this later than I said like two days ago, and wow this is quite good 
Also, I'm really sorry for asking this but
...are you into Ultrakill by any chance?
Stranger lowkey gives me V1 vibes for some reason
Ghastly scourge
I mean I am but I can’t say any part of the Stranger has been consciously influenced by v1
Aight, I see 
This was directly copied from the main document, if you’re wondering about the clanky start. Feedback is welcome! :3 Army of the Greedy Months passed with ease. Luckily for Léa, there weren’t a single sighting of any feared monsters posing threat to her settlements, and she enjoyed this new peace...
depends
which would they take first
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1A3R7R0demLPvCw--iVdWwKau-UDR4q-mxuUijFfTiVo/edit?usp=sharing hi chat (once again not finished i just had an idea for the start of yharim's fight with the Stranger
“You have shown incredible resolve to come this far - on your own, no less. Perhaps even more so than I have throughout my long life. I applaud you, no matter what your reasons for doing so might have been.” He removed his gauntlet and extended his hand. The Stranger could see long-since faded b...
looks great so far
i wanted to emphasize that Yharim isn't quite unreasonable enough to refuse to accept that his approach to avenging the dragons hasn't been the best
he fully knows that all the genocides and war crimes and such were never morally good, he just believes they were justified
That's Star Dream from Kirby Planet Robobot. The main inspiration for Andromeda's sprite
The ”Your ass has no foresight” was funny
the Stranger is NOT gonna sugarcoat it
I'm loving Stranger's vibes omg
The "I Don't Trust Any Politician" Stranger
Only have some chapter titles tho, although these are just one each per chapter
Okay now that I gave shadowflame an explanation here I feel like giving other schools of magic usages too
Perma’s abilities are fairly unknown
Shrimple
ice
I have decided to make some really long chapters
I think i’ll call them arks or something
it's just occurred to me that i haven't thought much about that kind of magic in my cal doc
I'm gonna go with the Genshin format (Chapter X Act #) for now
you know now that i think of it "Beginning of a Kinder World" would be kinda sick as an epilogue name for calamity
I'll probably go with a more theater-y format in the future tho
Figured out three of them.
1.Vile beigns
For the two evil bosses
2.Requiem
For moonlord and cultists
3.Cynosure
For Yhim

peak...
Is The Former Sea and its Guardian a good name for a chapter
It encompasses sunken sea and DS
did yharim wipe out literally every settlement in the heartlands or something?
The Lihzahrds are alive!
true
The fact that Yharim manages to turn not genociding a people into an insult against them would be impressive if it weren’t also horrible
writing about the Stranger giving cal a healing potion made me think a little bit about what a healing potion actually is
Strawberry juice
since the recipe for lesser healing potions and regen potions are almost identical (only difference is a piece of gel instead of a piece of daybloom) the idea i got is that healing potions are essentially supercharged burst regen potions
and the reason potion sickness exists is because if you drank more than one healing potion in a short timeframe you might end up growing more limbs or some shit like that
regenerating things you weren't actually missing
I’ve got the silly little headcanon that lesser mana potions are literally just regular water you make via magic to store it
When you swallow it, the spell breaks and the mana is returned to you
Upgrades are just fuelling the water with more potent mana
I think potion sickness is like your body goes on such a high overdrive drinking another makes you short circuit
That makes sense
So does this mean water is good in storing magic?
I was more so just thinking that it’s the most convenient store
Food fills you too quickly, takes longer to intake and is more complex to create
Perhaps storing it in fish is more potent, because fish are used in stronger potions
”Oh shit I’m out of mana! I need something to gain it from fast!”
The nefarious 80cm long fish:
Mana potions use materials that I think are fitting as sources of extra mana too
Yummers
I shall gnaw on this fish till there is nothing else to consume
Peak shit man
Fishtastic
Uhh is 6000 words too much for a single chapter?
Yapan
True..,
i haven't read any proper books in a while but 13 pages doesn't sound unreasonable
Today I broke the 20k word mark btw lol
Which makes this the longest text I’ve ever written
That’s fine yeah
I often read things with 10k word chapters and I think that’s about my limit in terms of what I am happy with
No
Anything beneath that I think is pretty manageable as a reader
Okay that is good to know
Give me the 30k word chapter
Longest chapter ive ever read was somewhere around the 20k word mark I think
Next up on my writing list is the jungle chapter
Plague is present there on pre-hm
Great writing but
Holy shit it sucked to find my place after taking a break if the page reloaded
question
if we were to get a future boss version of providence what do y'all think she'd be called?
Goddess of Unending Dawn
🔥 ✍️
Hmmm
I'd interpret that as something more similar to an overdose 
if you drink too many, it can give you like
cancer
but not normal cancer
like
fallout cancer
what would happen if the terrarian obatined an auric soul?
nothing really
against yharon we only get a few fragments for all I remember, but even if we do get the entire thing we wouldn't know how to properly ascend using it
knowledge about how Xeroc ascended to godhood just kinda spread like crazy presumably because there was someone who witnessed it happen and decided to snitch
but then, as entire eras passed, more gods ascended and more dragons were lost, that knowledge would become more obscure
then yharim steps in and he would hella do his best to gatekeep any form of understanding about absorbing auric souls
after all his bestie has one
so yea, we, the terrarian, wouldn't know about how to absorb auric souls under normal circumstances
of course your terrarian
your character
you do whatever you want with it
there is no hardcanon about the terrarian so you could just throw in that you actually know how to absorb an auric soul in some way like idk Yharim being fucking blind or whatever you want it to be
I loved the part where yharim stepped in and said "its yharimin' time" and proceeded to yharim all over the place
but under neutral circumstances where the only things you do are the things you can do ingame (canon that is, no such thing as fighting chicken with mgrr weapon), I don't think there'd be a way for your character to know about how to absorb auric souls because no one tells you that and you don't really find anything explaining how to, even vaguely so
good stuff
how long did it take?
To summarize: even if we knew the magic to take the soul, we wouldn't know how to absorb it, and the only people left alive that know how aren't willing to help.
How evil is Yharon? Cause from a lore standpoint we don’t really have a reason to fight him and it kinda seems like he just fights us just cause
He was 100% on board with everything yharim does
He definitely contributed
They killed all the gods and everyone who worshipped those gods
So, 200,000,000 people
Yharon is about as bad as yharim if not potentially worse
Yharon fights us cause they want to protect yharim from us
Someone compared him to palpatine and yharim to vader
Didn’t Yharon basically groom yharim into being evil?
The dragons were just as bad
Only some
The only evil god I can think of is providence, like even the slime god isn’t strictly evil I think
Not exactly, but kind of. Yharim was already willing to do all that stuff, he just needed a reason
Slime god is neutral worst mildly good at absolute best
True, but even then, dragon society deliberately prevented humans from living anywhere except underground
Chrysadia
Yharim already believed the gods were bad but Yharon pushed him into going too far, without Yharon’s influence I could see yharim maybe just taking out only explicitly evil gods
We don't know this
Yea true i guess
It's basically just speculation
Yharim would have prob decided to kill all gods even if he just learnt the auric souls ascension stuff imo
I believe that Yharon pushed yharim past the point of no return though
He was probably already there
Well he was chosen to ascend into a god by consuming Yharon’s soul wasn’t he?
Yes
And he refused
Yharim wouldn't exist without Yharon's influence
He'd be dead
Keep in mind yharims only experience with gods was
“Kill this being who will live forever otherwise”
“No”
“Lava bath then”
And also wouldn't be named yharim
I am pretty sure he knew plenty about them before that
Still theoretical, maybe he did maybe he didn’t
It definitely doesn’t help though, like they did not convince him otherwise
They were the rulers of Azafure, and enough people hated them to join him
Where that said
Is Silva evil or just a chill plant spirit that happened to consume auric soul?
Hold on...
She is the elemental of nature and the goddess of life
I would say chill person
Elementals are generally neutral at best right?
Well actually cloud elementals seem chill
And there’s Heart of the elements
I don't think she "just happened to consume the soul", but she isn't quite evil earlier
I think I remember it being said that the soul was willingly passed onto her
Each elemental wants to expand their domain
But silva seems the most intelligent and capable of other things like ascending and blessing jared to protect terminus (I think that’s the case)
The fact that auric souls can be willingly passed on kinda destroys a lot of Yharim’s reasons for attacking the gods
Like then not all gods have sinned
"The return of the Age of Dragons, dashed. Just like that, it is but ashes in the wind….
Yharon was the last of the Auric Dragons. As a phoenix, his domain of power includes rebirth.
The Gods thought him culled with the rest of his kind, but he returned as an egg. Hidden on the Aerie.
I was destined to consume his Auric soul when he hatched, and rule forever as God-King.
Destiny is for the weak.
I rejected their whims, and upended their scheme. I was sentenced to execution for treason.
Their meek, ingratiated swine cast both Yharon's egg and I into the magma of Hell.
The intense heat hideously scarred me, but birthed Yharon anew. He rose, wreathed in fire and saved my life.
From that day, our souls were one. He shared with me the tale of Zeratros, and the genocide of his kind.
I promised him I would have justice. So the war began, Yharon rallying all as a beacon of hope.
Now, that hope is long withered. I am but a husk of the hero I once was, and this is the ultimate proof.
Yharon may yet return, as he does, but he… he has bade me farewell."
Well yeah, there's a pretty big point about how his hatred of all gods is flawed and not every god is as evil as he paints them to be
Well we only think silva has due to her oerfect ascending which is quite unknown on why it happens
"I promised him I would have justice. So the war began, Yharon rallying all as a beacon of hope.
Now, that hope is long withered. I am but a husk of the hero I once was, and this is the ultimate proof."
Hell 1/3 gods in wof are garunteed good
There's even a possibility that the "big bad" of the story, Xeroc, will end up not actually being that evil, just someone who happened to kickstart the deific era
We don't really know much about his personality yet, but what little we have hasn't firmly shown him to be sinister in nature
I mean just because a gods essence is light based or hallowed doesn’t mean they’re good, example being providence
Hell with what little we know bunch of people think Xeroc is some form of good guy
Technically they're guaranteed to have good intentions, but yeah
It’d be an insane plot twist if Zeratros willingly gave his power to xeroc
Many people think that, xeroc was attuned afterall
This is unironically the most likely explanation for the reason he got the same domain, he was attuned and that probably requires willingness
The idea of the hallow in Calamity is that it represents the essence of kinder gods, which is why Yharim hid it away in the WoF
What is Xeroc’s domain?
Light
Oh
Primordial light
Providence has no relations to the hallow, it is a remnant of old Calamity that's getting changed eventually
So Yharon’s just pissy his era is over
Good we won't have to kill providence twice for both her loots
Apparently her having a connection to the sun will also be changed, which is kind of interesting
It already has
I mean, I think having your friends and family and civilisation be killed is enough for a good bit of anger
Well, in game I mean, she won't go into a different form at night
So is providence just a goddess of fire?
No
She consumed the dragon of flame so her domain isn’t flame
It’s heavily related
But isn’t the exact same
What are they gonna replace night time prov with?
Didn’t hear they’re removing night prov
Where you get that
She'll still have her other form, it'll just be summoned in a different way
Yeah, sorta
Neat
Yeah, they just haven't specified how yet
Reb already has
Drop the profaned core on providence
But yeah, there was a short conversation about this in #suggestions-discussion
You somehow give the profaned core to Provi, restoring her to maximum power
Right click of the profaned core 
“Thanks for restoring me to full power, now die”
Nah
It's the Terrarian flexing their power
Since Provi was gonna try to kill them anyways
Will they change the drops for night
Time prov at all?
No clue
overusedjoke.png
I think giving the player character lore would tie things together better
There's an issue
Yeah but they don’t want that
Afterall

really hard
Stop sending the image
They did describe this decision as such, though, that giving Providence her core would basically just be a flex of confidence
It was just an idea Reb had
Just make the terrarian’s lore that yharim shaved their head bald when they’re were 3 and humiliated them in front of their dog
No canonicity on why the Terrarian did it
That’s possible for your own terrarian
That’s probably why calamitus tries to kill us cause we really have no god damn reason to do what we do
She attacks us cause we seem like yharim 2 to her
She is afraid we'll be a 2nd Yharim
I mean we’d be scarier than yharim wouldn’t we because we’re doing everything by ourselves right? We don’t even have any soldiers we just do everything alone with the exception of running a small commune
but yeah the fact there's just this
Hell he basically doesn’t right now
thing
going around and murdering everything
and getting so strong so fast
would definitely concern people
Honestly yeah, I don't blame Yharon for being a bit worried
The terrarian just woke up and decided to kill literally everything taht it didn’t agree with existing

(i swear to god if i see that image again
(I'm gonna shit myself
dont let anger take the better of you
like
a tip from hotline miami 2!
every boss you kill is either evil or a immediate threat
Let anger take the better of you.
Pfft
Imagine Yharon’s face watching one fucking guy just wake up and become strong enough to kill DoG in a single month
restraint level 0
Then there's the giant clam
FUCK
There should at least be a lore reason as to why the terrarian can become so strong so fast
Nope


ignore the name
What the fuck
Refer to this image about the Terrarian on anything
Ok I’ll stop
Increasingly powerful opponents that aren't too far ahead, and give access to new equipment that can be used.
Teeth chattering
welp
Teeth gnashing
Is that good enough for an explanation?
kills u
kills u with every hammer in the universe
HATE DEMON
Teeth shredding
Guitar sounds
You're strong...
This one, officer. This is the one I want locked up for all eternity in Tartarus.
What if all humans in calamity can become really strong really fast but just no one other than yharim and the player have tried
Not really
im about to go hank motherfucker wimbleton mode
Scal became strong fast
Humans don’t have horns
Really?
Yep
They do
Damn guess humans are just different in that verse
Azafurian humans sometimes have horns and ashen skin
^
sometimes
do we know why
I guess humans in calamity are just really adaptable and evolve quickly
We don't know why, maybe BCO will explain it
its a weird evolution feature, especially since i cant think of a real reason they'd need it
To attract other humans
its whatever the fuck you want
I really gotta figure out my Terrarian's origins
Look like demons so the stronger but more primaries soecies is more likely to mistake you as a friend
inherited from demons?
I wanna do something with the World Soul thing but I doubt it would make sense
maybe humans back in the day reproduced with demons idk
I don’t think demons care about whether your demon or human
World spirit 
But all I have is that they just
Appeared one day
Demons don’t seem to fight eachother soooooo
Maybe the do
Terra itself decided taht everyone needs to go, reset button

💥
💥
World soul funky
If Azafurian's did once have relations with demons, then it's possible they just hate anything that seems human now because of Azafure's destruction, but we may never know
The world soul hates everyone but calamitus so it made the terrarian to kill everyone but her
(the world soul is gone)
Damn
Okay then terraria the planet is just sentient and made the terrarian to kill everyone but Scal
That’s cause we fight his machines not him
I’m sure if the terrarian was smart enough to get past that shield he’d be in pieces
im pretty sure i could take out everything and anything that could help draedon survive in a nuclear war
pffffft
give it five thousand warheads
He’s a robot he doesn’t need sustenance
i know

How long is the yharim mewing streak?
how old was yharim again
