forgro...

[plucky lichen]

Eris is azafurian but she was just born with one horn. Nothing happened to it or anything, that’s just how she looks. Her horn got snapped once but she keeps it up with a metal band to save her dignity

I must draw more doodles of my guy

I have a funny one

[stark basalt]

Crabulon is now canonically outerversal.

[plucky lichen]

what does this mean

[royal plinth]

fuck off don't ask me in dev server to check this

[cosmic zenith]

Flesh rots. Metal rusts. Stars grow dark. Whether over the course of a century or millennia, all things lose the ability to serve their purpose and become dust. Such is an immutable, inescapable law of reality. Thus, one who transcends such a limitation - one who is flawless and eternal, possessing none of the weakness called humanity - can only be considered God. Utterly unfettered and unparalleled. Surpassing the very nature of existence.
Sing your praises to Crabulon, The Perfect One.

[royal plinth]

get the fuck out of here

[spare pier]

It has one shroomilion power level

[royal plinth]

this is the stupidest bit

i cannot believe you are doing this

[spare pier]

Hi Ozz

[cosmic zenith]

We are :)

[royal plinth]

[cosmic zenith]

Oh well

[dusk laurel]

Outerversal is a slur now

I'm sorry

[digital vault]

i have to agree with ozz on this one

[plucky lichen]

what does this entail btw

[late veldt]

whaaaaat

[light linden]

I thought that was a draedon quote for a sec ngl

[indigo glade]

I can feel the disappointment.

[late veldt]

gfb crabulon should be stronger than Scal

lazily too

[light linden]

so

there anything other than the rejection that makes auric good for weapons?

[dusk laurel]

Strong

[light linden]

I mean

yeah but is there anything else?

[dusk laurel]

Give me a minute rq

If we are to go off some of the current auric weapons and future plans for the armor and weapons, and assume that they are canon abilities. Then that means auric can still use high volts of electricity despite the rejection being nullified

[light linden]

my guess is and always has been that the rejection and electricity are different

[dusk laurel]

Yeah

Auric whip will use a lot of electricity iirc

And the rogue auric set bonus

etc

[indigo glade]

It could be that the electricity comes from the rejection, but is forcibly controlled.

You put the soul fragments in specific places, so know only one specific part can reject.

[dusk laurel]

True

[light linden]

eh

there's also the chance that auric is just naturally really conductive

actually that gives me an idea for a joke weapon

[plucky lichen]

you mess up this process and you get deep fried inside your suit of armor

cooked

[light linden]

also

I'm still wondering if you could destroy any type of electronic with a gram of auric

considering it's very electrified and likely magnetic

[spring helm]

ozz crashout is crazy

[indigo glade]

Multiple times

[indigo glade]

No.

Banished a gay couple.

Signus was the one that split them.

[dusk laurel]

Okay I don;t care about the details

[languid badge]

signus offered to split them, they simply accepted

[dusk laurel]

Signus is also homophobic

[plucky lichen]

[dusk laurel]

The monkey's paw curls (what the fuck does that mean)

[plucky lichen]

Got my mothers exploded by the devil :(

[late veldt]

You got milf Yuri exploded????

For shame

[dusk laurel]

This doesn't feel right

[plucky lichen]

Yes

[eager bluff]

the monkeys paw curls every time it grants a wish
you can use the paw 3 times before it runs out of juice
every wish is granted but never in the way you expect

hence, the monkeys paw curls

[thick slate]

DungHIMS and DragHERS

[loud crag]

every time i play dnd its absolute chaos its great

[plucky lichen]

woke dnd

[loud crag]

many gay people involved as always

[indigo glade]

In the story "The Monkey's Paw", a family of two parents and one son obtains a cursed monkey paw, that can grant three wishes, but also come with a consequence. Each time a wish is made, the monkey's paw "curls". The first wish is them asking for two hundred pound, which they get, but it was given as goodwill payment for their son's death at work. The second wish asks to bring back their son, which it does, but its a mutilated corpse that can live. The final wish asks for the son to be gone.

[thick slate]

gay people making chaos?

well well well

[plucky lichen]

I managed to marry the devil’s daughter in dnd

[plucky lichen]

Yes they are crunchy

Taste like a gummy and gram cracker mushed together in a weird chewy and crunchy mix

[plucky lichen]

Relatable

[dusk laurel]

True!

[pliant ruin]

[dusk laurel]

Yuri

[leaden bridge]

False

No yuri in calamity

[thick slate]

yaoi only

[late veldt]

sadness combat gif

[pliant ruin]

✅

[leaden bridge]

Lack of Yuri is a pretty big hole in calamity's quality tbh

[pliant ruin]

glue

[late veldt]

WAIT

Drunk Princess and Stylist

[pliant ruin]

me hwen not canon

[leaden bridge]

Drunk princess isn't real sorry

[pliant ruin]

drunk princess is a figment of your imagination

wake up

[dusk laurel]

The nefarious guardian healer

[thick slate]

it was just a bad dream

[dusk laurel]

And her cronies

[leaden bridge]

Even if it was real some mid sexual jokes aren't yuri

No soul in there

[pliant ruin]

they're true?

[dusk laurel]

There's unspoken yuri

Between a bunch of rocks

[thick slate]

real

[pliant ruin]

you see the terrarian is whoever you want to be and mine is a self insert and i am literally yuri limbus company if she was real so yuri is real in calamity

shrimple

[thick slate]

real

[sleek halo]

first thjng I saw opening this chnanel

[pliant ruin]

i worded that badly

mouse

why is it not working

there

[sleek halo]

why are y’all talking about

yuri

[pliant ruin]

i sent a yuri sticker

since i have nitro again

and then it was brought up that there is no yuri in calamity mod

[sleek halo]

i suppose

but like

who would even fit for it…

[leaden bridge]

That's the problem

There is no yuri in calamity mod

[rotund shore]

1984

[thick slate]

silva

and

[leaden bridge]

5/10 (there is yaoi at the very least)

[thick slate]

whos another women

in calamity

[leaden bridge]

Wdk

[languid badge]

prov

[rotund shore]

Anahita

[sleek halo]

If it’s not another goddess it’s bound to end sadly

[thick slate]

i dont think silva and provi would have a good relationship

[rotund shore]

Toxic yuri at best

[languid badge]

oh wait

analev

[sleek halo]

def not anahita

[thick slate]

leviana are NOT

[pliant ruin]

thats a fucking fish

[sleek halo]

they’re closer to

Yharon & Yharim than

any sorr of romantic relationsgip

(Probably)

[thick slate]

they are besties

[pliant ruin]

do not ship the water woman and the literal fish

[cloud ibex]

i wouldn't even say that, do we even know if levi is sapient or not

[sleek halo]

(Tbf we have no clue of what level of sapience leviathan is at)

(Still weird though)

[cloud ibex]

still weird

[sleek halo]

(Considering that Anahita might also not be uh sapient LOL)

[thick slate]

levi never went to school

💔

dumbass fish

[languid badge]

levi is a elementary school dropout

[sleek halo]

(Like literally nothing proves Anahita is a sapient being…)

[thick slate]

levi was the school bully

[sleek halo]

Silva always seems like the jump in intelligence to sapience from the more primal elementals

[pliant ruin]

i mean you could argue that she displays malicious intent

there's no reason for her to lure people in with her song, doing so isn't helping her expand her domain

[thick slate]

she feed big fish dog

[sleek halo]

killing life..

[languid badge]

isn't that just hunting though
like an anglerfish

[pliant ruin]

she dosen't have to eat

she's water

[cloud ibex]

yea but do elementals need to eat at all

[thick slate]

big fish gotta eat

[cloud ibex]

that could be true

[pliant ruin]

i mean yeah you could argue it's for leviathan

but even then

[sleek halo]

poor anahita

leviathan fucking died

[pliant ruin]

why does she partner up with levi to begin with

[cloud ibex]

maybe she's doing it more for levi's sake than for her own

[thick slate]

lonely

[pliant ruin]

yeah there's

some evidence pointing to anahita having some deegree of setience

[cloud ibex]

which i feel like does imply some level of sapience considering she does care for her whatever levi is to her

[pliant ruin]

maybe not sapience but i doubt shes like

beep boop robot gotta expand domain

[sleek halo]

well yeah

[thick slate]

yharim might be sapient

[rotund shore]

Fish

[sleek halo]

I think she is sentient

[pliant ruin]

yahrim isn't sapient

hes tsupoid

stupid

[thick slate]

dumbass old man

[sleek halo]

so true

[rotund shore]

Real

[sleek halo]

Yharim tbh is like

walter white..

comes into a big world and fucks eveything up

[pliant ruin]

and sells cocaine

wait no

its meth

[sleek halo]

true

[pliant ruin]

and sells meth

[sleek halo]

nope

not antmore

[rotund shore]

Is yharon jessie

[pliant ruin]

we have to cook yharon

[rotund shore]

Idk I haven’t watched breaking bad

[sleek halo]

Well no

honestly they’d flip roles kinda

[pliant ruin]

its ok i ahvent watched it either

[sleek halo]

“We have to kill the gods Yharim”

[sleek halo]

Inhave

it’s peak

[rotund shore]

Both are Jessie and Walter at the same time idfk

[sleek halo]

I liked beeter call saul more though

just cause they were well

better at everything when they made it lol

years of experience will do that…

[rotund shore]

Who in calamity is Saul goodman

[pliant ruin]

draedon

[sleek halo]

no one tbh

[sleek halo]

nuh

[rotund shore]

They should just add Saul goodman to calamity then we have the Saul goodman of calamity

Genius

[sleek halo]

draedon isn’t even close to that level of being able to understand/manipulate people

[spring helm]

i think that's because he's never cared to try

[sleek halo]

well also he just seemingly doesn’t see

a need for it

and literally doesn’t get people

[rotund shore]

Draedon looks at things from a very objective angle usually while Saul probably understands peoples emotions and shit idk
I also haven’t watched better call Saul

I’m just yappin

[sleek halo]

Saul is a very slimey, cunning, and intelligent person

who preys on people’s emotions and used schemes to get one over on them

but shit goes wrong for him often

[spring helm]

Yharim, I still don't understand why you need me to "ju-ju on that beat".

[dusk laurel]

Cluebed

[latent bolt]

we are going to add yuri into calamity mod, but its actually Yuri
monkey's paw

[tepid timber]

Does yharim know how to do the dougie?

[plucky lichen]

Can yharim get jiggy with it

[sleek halo]

probably

he has probably danced before

[plucky lichen]

I would pay to see that actually

Big dollars

You think if I asked him nicely he’d do a little dance before we fight to the death

[noble niche]

Was there a god of cool vibes and cocktails?

[split mortar]

We dunno
Maybe

[rotund shore]

Hi lorers

[plucky lichen]

What’s up

I’m in history

Learning about real world lore and shit

[dusk laurel]

I love history

I've been lucky with getting actually interesting teachers for it too

[plucky lichen]

How many people survived the scorching of azafure

I know the guide is from there but is there anyone else we know if

[plucky lichen]

My teacher is awesome for history

Love that guy

[split mortar]

Scal
Guide
Tax collector?(not sure)
Demolitionisy?(not sure)

[eager bluff]

well depending if dionysis is real to cal then we have that

but hes also the god of dolphins and his followers got so drunk they ate someone alive at one point

[dusk laurel]

Hey Incattus

[snow mountain]

thank you euripides truly a classic

[plucky lichen]

Ok awesome

Just wanted to see if it was viable for someone to escape that

[eager bluff]

i would like to say tax collector yes

[snow mountain]

also i am pretty sure the parthians used crassus's head as a prop during the showing of the bacchae

[ruby heart]

not really, most of the time is users getting what i said in a really wrong manner and repassing it

creating a chain of confusion

like saying mammoth dragon made the tundra (i never said that)

[dusk laurel]

That's true

[ruby heart]

sorta, sorta not

he dont work with noxus

he does his own thing

, the last deal is if you win the fight signus free statis and grant you powerful rewards (his loot), if you lose you become his next envoy (you will never see that ingame because that would be a bad ending and you would not be able to complete your journey, its just a theoretical stuff etc)

if you mean signus, that is still up to discussion

[mighty zenith]

what if the envoy thing happened on hardcore

[ruby heart]

i personally preffer that he dont die, his body isnt there in the fight (he is using statis as a host) and with him alive

[mighty zenith]

actually that sounds like a cool idea for hardcore

[ruby heart]

you will still be able to use his deal system

[mighty zenith]

getting to see like, hypothetical bad ends

[ruby heart]

and also get more distortion information

[mighty zenith]

probably a bitch to code but uhh

idk

[ruby heart]

it just make sense for him to live, he isnt dumb to throw himself personally in a fight agaisnt you

he isnt a fighter, more of a trickster

a manipulator

[mighty zenith]

oh so like, a skeletron thing kinda

[late veldt]

he's wha

[ruby heart]

killing signus to me just sound guh

[ruby heart]

what what

[late veldt]

I didn't know that

[ruby heart]

check statis concept art

i wonder why he looks surprinsingly similar to signus redesign

[dusk laurel]

[ruby heart]

anyway that has been a known thing for a while

(which was what the above topic was talking about)

signus and statis quests will be so peak to work on

problably my favorite thing i helped do in terms of lore

(the second is OD)

[late veldt]

where do I find either of those

[dusk laurel]

Pinned message

Calamity mod reference is what it's called

[sleek halo]

Signus too based..

[plucky lichen]

Where did he get his cool arm and leg prosthetic

Wow melon gun hi

[split mortar]

I dont think they even need to possess statis

They can appear in multiple places si they could just, lose one of the like many bodies they have

[indigo glade]

After he lost them from Signus.

[plucky lichen]

Yeah but who made them

[split mortar]

They lost their arm and leg to a deal with signus

[plucky lichen]

Like I know how he lost them but

[split mortar]

Technology that replaces limbs is common place, they could have made their own

[indigo glade]

Someone.

[plucky lichen]

Ohhh ok

Wowww

Is braelor just kinda still chilling in the distortion

Wonder if he will find giratina

[split mortar]

Wulfrum prosthesis weapon is an actual prosthetic arm

[split mortar]

Yes

Been there for months

Alone

Knowing he failed

[plucky lichen]

Yeah I think I remember seeing this

[plucky lichen]

:(

[split mortar]

And their bf left

[plucky lichen]

I’ll find him and reunite him with his boyfriend

They can be in the wooden cube together

[split mortar]

Statis wont be a npc like that

[plucky lichen]

Aw darn

[split mortar]

Closer ti a night time travelling merchant

[plucky lichen]

Will braelor join him or will he just

Be around as well

[dusk laurel]

You will very likely save Braelor in a quest

[split mortar]

YOOO WE WILL ACTUALLY SAVE THE GAYS IN CALAMITY GAMEPLAY?!!!

[wheat walrus]

[late veldt]

I really fucking hope we can get braelor out of there

we need the gays

[split mortar]

Profaned guardian healer:

[late veldt]

thats the gay. singular

[mighty zenith]

MORE GAYS

[loud crag]

GAYS!!!!

[plucky lichen]

You can add gays to the game

If you play it

As for who they are being gay with uhm

Up to you!

[late veldt]

:hawktruah:

[mighty zenith]

horrible words

[late veldt]

garbo why do you hate me so much

[sleek halo]

thinking about something random

[mighty zenith]

i hate the words you spew out of your mouth

[sleek halo]

isn’t ceaseless void like

a similar type of magic to cryogen

A defensive seal

not that there’s anything super important to draw from that just

cool little thing

[mighty zenith]

isnt cryogen more like
a living construct

[sleek halo]

Nothjng to really say CV isn’t

considering uh

0 knowledge on it

LOL

[mighty zenith]

fair enough lmaoo

[sleek halo]

me when - for bestiary entry

[mighty zenith]

smth smth scp foundation

[sleek halo]

But no fr like

they function extremely similarly it seems

Just CV is a tad.. stronger..

A smidge

which is crazy considering it was Scal who made Cryogen

but tbf with how strong lunatic cultist is

[mighty zenith]

i assume its a lack of experience in that type of magic

[sleek halo]

a whole gaggle of them could make one reallly fucking strong

seal

[mighty zenith]

cultist feels more well rounded while cal feels more knowledgable in destructive capabilities

since thats what yharim wanted her to hone

[loud crag]

calamitas isnt that good at other magic than brimstone-y stuff right

[mighty zenith]

shes way stronger but not as experienced

[sleek halo]

wel she’s considered only

[pulsar trellis]

the ice was actually made of hot dog water and so the magic didnt magic correctly

[sleek halo]

above average in

other magic

but a master of brimstone

[spring helm]

i thought she was below average

[sleek halo]

but that’s while she was younger and clearly now she’d be more experienced

[mighty zenith]

tasty ice

[sleek halo]

as shown by her uh

necromancy lol

[spring helm]

i just checked

[sleek halo]

which i don’t imagine is easy

[spring helm]

Calamitas was shown to only have a slightly above average grasp on the principles of magic, being unable to cast complex spells without them overloading and bursting into flame

[pulsar trellis]

couldnt keep the archmage contained cuz he ate his way out

[mighty zenith]

the damage on cryo when you fight it is actually perma chewing through

you're dealing no damage

[split mortar]

Youre just making him hungrier

[mighty zenith]

woke him up from the stasis and now hes really hungry

[plucky lichen]

Making a snowcone with his teeth

[pulsar trellis]

cryo shield is just fragments cracking off as perma bites into the ice

[sleek halo]

stasis is for some reaaon

how I read Statis in my head

even though it’s absolutely incorrect LOL

[mighty zenith]

woke him up from statis...

[sleek halo]

yeah she was just

slightly better than average lol

which I now think isn’t true

especially cause I imagine she’d focus heavily on literally anything else

other than brimstone magic

after leaving yharim

[mighty zenith]

i think the issue then stems from

not having anyone to learn from

[loud crag]

howd she figure out necromancy

[sleek halo]

well that excerpt was taken from when she was training under perma

[split mortar]

Tied to brimstone magic i think

[sleek halo]

either learned it after she left Yharim

or as a child

[mighty zenith]

i mean you added "after leaving yharim"

[sleek halo]

yeah I just mean that she likely got a lot better

at other forms of magic

[mighty zenith]

ah i see

[sleek halo]

10 yrs is a long

[loud crag]

that makes sense

[sleek halo]

time

[sleek halo]

would br weird

considering necromancy is based off uh

auric dragon rebirth

iirc

[split mortar]

Yes

[loud crag]

oh yea it is

[sleek halo]

(and also cuz I could entirely see her learning/using necromancy as an unhealthy coping mechanism in the years away from Yharim)

[late veldt]

yeah me too that's why I bark more

[late veldt]

-# dude

[green pulsar]

draedon is basically just bondrewd

[sleek halo]

what..

[green pulsar]

from made in abyss

[late veldt]

are the corruption and crimson two distinct things in the lore? they come from the same exact thing

[split mortar]

They are different

iirc the two are made of two different types kf evils, one if much more violent and bloody then the other iirc

As in the gods that make them up

[eager bluff]

one is made of more outright violent gods and one is made up of more corrupt gods

[late veldt]

ah

[spring helm]

when the corruption gods are corrupt

[mighty zenith]

when the crimson gods are red

[eager bluff]

i e crimson is like. a warlord god
while corruption is a politician

[sleek halo]

when the hallowed gods make evil af unicorns???

unicorns in calamity r actually just zebra with horns, not horses

[split mortar]

Ah it makes sense now

[pastel gazelle]

ohhhh I thought corruption was like... dead and rotting, while crimson was still clinging to life.

[split mortar]

Both are equally dead and trying to cling to life

[dusk laurel]

Holy shit new Garbo pfp

[plucky lichen]

Huh

[wooden shadow]

Crabulon will always be the perfect one in my heart

[wheat walrus]

be a bit more specific if you wanna reach outer scaling 💔

this should be at least 5d due to transcending time tho

just we don't know whether it's about time as in dimensional or time as in conceptual

[spring helm]

seems to be time as a concept, as Crabulon is not passing through time but ignoring it's effects

[light linden]

how does something ignore time?

[real silo]

people who always come late:

[livid citrus]

does anyone happen to have some sort of list of all somewhat important gods known in calamity lore

like ones that are important to things like gear you get such as statis (even though i dont think he's a god but you get the idea)

apparently the scarlet devil is based on something but i don't know

[dusk laurel]

SD is a reference to a Touhou character

And is a dedicated item

Therefore non-canon

But for the list of gods we know

Tyrian [seas], Otonilou [electricity], Silva [life], Shakidou [space], Providence [likely ash], Slime God [slime], god of sacrifices [revived as the non-deific ravager], Xeroc [light], etc.

[noble niche]

did calamity update?

I mean it did I just had to update it but what was in the update

[dusk laurel]

It was like a really small patch

idk what it even did

[hybrid barn]

It just removed something from the mod, I believe

[dusk laurel]

Oh

Was it that feather

[hybrid barn]

Dedicated content for someone that shouldn't be dedicated to, yeah

[late veldt]

and also removing an arms dealer name

[languid badge]

bugfixes were very nice

[late veldt]

and some bux fixes

[noble niche]

coco's feather? I've been out of the loop for a bit, what they do?

[dusk laurel]

They left the dev team, so their dev item got removed

[late veldt]

-# and also other Stuff with a capital S happened after that but the feather was going to be removed anyway

[dusk laurel]

That wasn't why it was removed, although I doubt it would've stayed regardless of if bird left or not

Let's change the topic tho, I don't want to talk about the sins again

[late veldt]

yeah that's what I just said

[magic epoch]

this thing should be canon

[late veldt]

what the hell is that

[magic epoch]

my baby...

[late veldt]

The Nameless Devil

[magic epoch]

calamibaby....

they're already 4 years old isn't it amazing...

[spring helm]

did you merge every boss into one

[pliant ruin]

you post this sticker every 3 fargo seconds

[dusk laurel]

Incredible

[magic epoch]

it's awesome

[magic epoch]

[sinful adder]

The verboten one

Hey remember the fishboten one

[tidal tulip]

would a draedon inquiry as to the abundance of serpent bosses make for an interesting concept? perhaps, the logic could follow as they are one of the more dominant body types given the advantages they provide. perhaps mobility, for starters.

[hoary berry]

rationalising wormlamity

[tidal tulip]

exactly my thoughts behind it

[sinful adder]

He would probably teach you about convergent evolution and how segmented bodies grant an increased HP stat or something

[tidal tulip]

increased hp, mobility, and perhaps damage

[sinful adder]

Mobility isn't really increased that much usually

Neither is damage

[tidal tulip]

hmm

[sinful adder]

But it might increase body mass without sacrificing too much mobility

[tidal tulip]

perchance

probably should've looked at the stats of the bosses

[indigo glade]

No.

[tidal tulip]

👀

[indigo glade]

Lampshading is always almost never funny.

[sinful adder]

Suppose the worm archetype maximizes body mass (thus bulk) without sacrificing too much speed, and allows for carrying more useful parts.

Then the Duke fishron archetype maximizes speed and damage while retaining decent defense due to the spherical body shape

And a large brain and dexterous limbs (human body shape or head and hands boss) maximizes the ability to comprehend spells and cast them with hand gestures, or to use complex combat techniques, leading to the body shapes of bosses like lunatic cultist and moon lord, and the player's success

[tidal tulip]

This topic is a lot more detailed than my original thoughts about how you could rationalize specific body shapes, of course, namely the serpent/worm shapes. Humans didn't even cross my mind, especially humanoids, like the moon lord.

Despite Seeker's objections I still think this is an interesting concept 🙏

[pastel gazelle]

what's the deal with the dryads in Calamity lore again? I forget.

[split mortar]

They worship silva and silva is the first dryad iirc
-# not mother dryad as she isnt the source of their power iirc

[real silo]

your're mothe r

[pliant ruin]

i do'nt think

hp stats exist

like

in universe

that's going way too far into Videogame territory which i mean

for a more diagetic story works but calamity is like very not diagetic

[sinful adder]

I think it represents real stuff but doesn't literally exist as it is in game

[pliant ruin]

most worm enemies you fight either burrow or swim so

[sinful adder]

Like something with more HP is canonically tougher than something with less

[pliant ruin]

thats probably the best explanation you could get

a long serpentine body is, well, good for burrowing and swimming

even irl

it's not good for fast bursts of speed tbf but most of the aquatic worms dont need those since theyre either filter feeders like oarfish or eidolon wyrm or aqua scoog or ambush predators like bobbit worms or gulper eels

[split mortar]

Only time this is iffy is with bosses and progression
Since iirc wyrms may have higher stats then deus

[pliant ruin]

i wouldnt fully rely on health when it comes to determining which boss has more endurance

because i doubt moon lord has less endurance than dragonfolly give its severla times its size

[split mortar]

Tbf ml explodes after eyes and a heart is destroyed

You aint harming its entire body

[pliant ruin]

i mean even still

leviathan

[sinful adder]

Consider: alien biology full of magic could mean that the heart regulates it's magic flow or something, and it explodes when this isn't regulated

Also moon lord is on death's door when you fight it compared to how it was

[split mortar]

The rest of its body apart from 3 eyes are fully invincible

Even with post yharon gear
-# you can fight yharon pre ml i think

[sinful adder]

I think that's just a game mechanic

[split mortar]

The eyes covering themselves in the eyelids also invincible

[sinful adder]

Your attacks don't hit it in the first place unless you target the weak spots

Hmm, I guess that might be relevant. It could become intangible somehow

Maybe it's skin is magically intangible and makes stuff pass through it

Similar to shimmer

Second idea: shimmer is moon lord's blood

[split mortar]

I had that theory a decent bit ago

Kinda makes sense still i think

[pliant ruin]

Fair point but even still it's not just moon lord

as i said there's leviathan, per example

[split mortar]

-# whats leviathan an example fore

[sinful adder]

I'm inclined to say that hit boxes and invincibility are likely to be mostly game mechanics

[pliant ruin]

support for imo health not necessarily corresponding to how enduring a character or creature canonically would be

Because dragonfolly has more health than leviathan

[sinful adder]

Dragonfolly has draconic magic

I think that could be a factor

[split mortar]

And may or may not be the apex of all folly

[pliant ruin]

Leviathan is like 4x its size i don't think it should have more physical resilience even with magic

Specially when said magic seems to be mostly relegated to red lightning

[split mortar]

Then why can it tank more

[pliant ruin]

because its a video game and its a boss taht comes after

[split mortar]

LORE WISE

[sinful adder]

Given that this is a world where magic is common and many creatures use it innately, why wouldn't there be some kind of magical damage resistance or attack weakening? Or a shield sort of thing that absorbs damage but runs out

[pliant ruin]

ok smart guy

why does murasama metal gear rising exist

lore wise

[sinful adder]

It's not canon

It doesn't

[pliant ruin]

katchow

there you go

[split mortar]

The difference here is that dragon folly is canonically post ml strong

[pliant ruin]

You can be post ml strong and not be physically more resilient

[sinful adder]

Other items are canon but that one isn't

[pliant ruin]

that is not the only way to be stronger

Dragonfolly is far faster and has much more offensive capacity than Leviathan

[sinful adder]

Alright, consider this:

[split mortar]

Then why can folly take a good lot of hits from a post ml terrarian if they arent more durable

[sinful adder]

Life crystals and life fruit are canon

[pliant ruin]

GAME MECHANIC

melon gun

gun melon

strawberry pistol

[sinful adder]

They make you magically more resilient without changing your appearance

[pliant ruin]

life fruit is actually a explanation i like

[sinful adder]

This is a world where those things exist. I think it is perfectly fine for dragonfolly to have more physical resistance than leviathan thanks to innate magic power

Or maybe by eating dragon fruit

Or something like that

[pliant ruin]

I imagine realistically life fruit dosen't literally make your skin more resilient or whatever as much as it massively boosts your regenerative and healing capacities because i think that's cooler

Or any of the other max hp up items

[sinful adder]

This world also has magical blessings that can make you way tougher without a physical change. Like primordial wyrm for example

[split mortar]

I think blood orange makes it so you bleed less

By making your blood as thick as honey

Or something

[pliant ruin]

Well yeah but folly isn't one of those, folly is just a natural being

[split mortar]

So is old duke

[sinful adder]

So I think some things are just magically tougher even innately

[sinful adder]

Natural beings wield immense magical power in this world

[pliant ruin]

I still don't like the idea of folly being physically more resilient than leviathan or ml because it just seems silly tbh

I much prefer the idea it's advantage lies within its speed and offensive

It's alot more interesting than

comes after = innately better in ever way

i do like the idea of it having

rly strong regeneration

due to eating life fruits

[sinful adder]

I would argue that it does have those advantages but also has some significant amount of magical resilience

[pliant ruin]

but honestly that could b said for everything in the jungle and it lends itself to a interesting dynamic

jungle being a place with a bunch of creatures iwth high regeneration capacities due to life fruit

which explains why its so dangerous, besides just the high amount of biodiversity

[split mortar]

Moonlord we basically make them go boom frim their own power so eh, its more durable then some starved eyes and a tiny (compared to ml) heart

I do think moonlord would be more durable if it weren’t able to go Chernobyl much easier then damaging it

[pliant ruin]

regeneration is the only way i can see it workign anyways bc like

otherwise how would it even be more enduring

besifdes its skin being tough ig?

like magic yeah but how does that like

actually look

i suppose it depends on what you're using to fight it

[split mortar]

Life crystals and life fruit form a small protective layer of magic over every cell of your body

[pliant ruin]

"more endurance" or "more resilience" is kinda like

too vague

different types of attack and harm will affect things differently

like

sure i can see folly surviving like

being set on fire longer than leviathan

but when it comes to like

slashing attacks

i think leviathan would just be naturally more durable because its giant and thick

while folly isn't as much so such attacks would reach vital parts more easily

like if u got a bigass sword and slashed leviathan on the neck it has a good chance of surviving id say because like

it probably wasn't taht deep of a wound

didn't reach the arteries n shit

but if you kept hacking it die yeah

butlike

[split mortar]

Id agree with you if folly was an event and not a standalone boss
-# i do think it would be better as a event though
But it can tank slashing attacks from a stronger weapon then what leviathan faces
-# i would prefer what youre saying but imo with how the game is rn i think folly is just more durable then leviathan:/

[pliant ruin]

folly?

a slash on that neck and mfer is dead

[pliant ruin]

just ignore game stats and stuff

not everything has to be accurate to technicalities

[split mortar]

Im following

canon progression

[pliant ruin]

dude

i told you

stronger =/ better in every single way

like im pretty sure devourer is physically stronger than yharon

[split mortar]

Thats a one boss difference

I accept that

Hell i believe it

[pliant ruin]

leviathan is fat and slow and its attacks are limited to physical (biting n shit) and throwing rocks at you

dragonfolly zooms at 30 per mile and can summon giant ass tornadoes and shoot draconic electricity at you

komodo dragons take down buffalos

yet buffalos are (obviously) more resilient than komodo dragons

the idea that because its stronger its just innately better lends itself to shallow fights and power levels bc rather than things being stronger bc of their unique advantages it just means its a flat power boost

like in leviathans case

yeah itd survive more slashing attacks in my example

[cloud ibex]

yea i think it'd be a reasonable assertion that folly being tankier than levi or ml or whatever is just an extension of gameplay over lore

[pliant ruin]

but its slow and fat so you'd have a much better opportunity to get those slashes in

but folly? sure it might die in one good blow to a vital but

good luck getting that blow in

[split mortar]

Isnt there many homing weapons post ml

[pliant ruin]

idk i dont play calamity

[cloud ibex]

yea i think that's part of why folly is tankier in-game

[sinful adder]

I do agree with your assessment about things being better in different ways but I still think that dragonfolly is far enough away in progression that it should nonetheless be stronger than leviathan even in terms of bulk

[cloud ibex]

it's a bit hard to make a boss hard to hit in a game like terraria with how projectile spammy weapons are

[split mortar]

Yeah thats what i think
Leviathan is a fucking tank, but its not such a tank that its out doing post ml bosses

-# i do think levi isnt that far behind though

[sinful adder]

Yeah

[pliant ruin]

Think of it like this

ignore this is a terraria mod ora game where you can hit a boss several times to deplete their hp until they die

think ofi t like an actual real life scenario

you can hit the giant fucking thing several times and itll still stand
now the smaller fast thing, if you hit it less times itll do more damage unless it has like, durability as in like armor to resist that, so the only way to make it more durable really imo is crazy regeneration, atleast in a way that makes sense

but even them from a storytelling standpoint i think smth like folly just works better as like

you know one good blow to it and it dies, but it keeps avoiding all your attacks and harrassing you, but then you finally get that one blow in and ggs

while leviathan is more of like

raid monster monster hunter

its fat and slow and cumbersome but that means you can just send a shit ton of attacks its way until you eventually deplete its vitality

[sinful adder]

I completely understand what you're saying

[cloud ibex]

el mosco

[sinful adder]

But I think it just makes more sense in the context of terraria and calamity for magical durability to be a significant factor

[pliant ruin]

thats fair

[cloud ibex]

i do agree that it probably is but iunno if i believe that it's enough to make folly on equal standing with someone as big as ML in terms of survivability

[pliant ruin]

i just generally like to think of characters and creatures in the context of fights in storytelling in a more real way because i personally find that to be more interesting than the usual approach of characters's strenght being defined by often arbitrary metrics

[cloud ibex]

yeah definitely

[pliant ruin]

its more cool imo when u actually factor in like

vital spots, what attacks would be lethal, etc

[cloud ibex]

part of the reason i like jojo so much

[pliant ruin]

john john strange escapade

[sinful adder]

I imagine that moon lord is bulkier but the weak spots bring it down to dragonfolly's level

[cloud ibex]

dude with the "punch really fuckin hard and stop time" stand almost gets merked by a literal rat with a sniper rifle because the rat managed to predict where he was going during the time stop

[split mortar]

I get that and i agree that levi is prob the most tanky pre ml boss

But i dont think they reach into post moonlord
-# folly def less durable then ml imo

[pliant ruin]

real

[cloud ibex]

fights are more of a battle of wits than a battle of sheer strength

which kinda feels realer than "the writers gave me more points in strength than you so i win"

[pliant ruin]

i like media where even with characters being generally stronger than other its never as if they become immune to being attacked or even killed by weaker characters

because like

even irl sometimes shit happens

lions obviously hunt and are much "stronger" than gazelles

but statistically

lions have died to gazelles at some point

[split mortar]

I think the way i see it is
Leviathan is like a bison, strong and durable af

Dragon folly is just a heavily armoured car going at 100mph

Still going to get heavily hurt and maybe suffer a wound that can kill it but if they were to clash it would end up victorious most of the time idk

[pliant ruin]

heavily armoured

look inside

bird

[split mortar]

-# dragon

[pliant ruin]

i'm not saying leviathan would beat folly, i dont think it would either

i just think in some contexts leviathan would survive far more attacks

the car and bison comparison is laso pretty bad because like

cars are nearly the same size as a bison

its more like a bicycle

[split mortar]

Guess i thought bison were bigger then

[pliant ruin]

a bicycle capable of shooting evil dragon lightning and summoning tornadoes but still

[sleek halo]

Well tbf..

Yeah Leviathan is huge

but nothing to say it has particularly tough skin

or dense muscle
