everywhere else is generally better off

split mortar
#

Wouldnt be surprised if its basically the last bastion of humanity in the heartlands

But we play on only one continent afterall

manic coral
#

things are kinda recovering

dusk laurel
#

we know that there's more survivors than just the npcs

manic coral
#

there are some city-state reforming, hell, some even made it through ok enough here and there

#

some Godseeker Knights are out there fighting for control over parts of what's left

magic zenith
#

I will never get over the fact that it's called heartlands

dawn vigil
#

is yharim just fucked off somewhere or did he just decide to stop killing stuff for some reason

manic coral
#

moreso a title that's used to refer to it

manic coral
#

since i mean

dusk laurel
manic coral
#

you actually name it upon creating a world

split mortar
dawn vigil
#

how strong is the median citizen of this setting
like
In terraria terms

manic coral
dawn vigil
deft vessel
#

No

manic coral
split mortar
manic coral
#

i mean

#

no reason for it to be much differejnt

robust osprey
#

maybe slightly stronger than average irl human, if we coint azafurians as average terraria humans

#

they have more inmunity to heat

#

and horns

magic zenith
#

Imagine how much stronger gods would be if those dumb fucks found out about crystal hearts

tepid timber
robust osprey
#

which can hurt if you get hit by them

dawn vigil
deft vessel
#

Actually every human is planet level, but the rest of the world scales relative to them

robust osprey
#

if not azafurians, or atleast not native (guide), then it's just a regular irl human

manic coral
#

train reguarlly

#

i'd say stuff like that are more like quicker ways to achieve more pwoer

tepid timber
#

Like the goat xeroc

manic coral
#

rather than the only ways to do stuff like that

split mortar
magic zenith
#

There's one guy in Heartlands who clears not just cal universe, but also every other verse, all other people are average guys. And because of this strong ass guys every heartland resident is planetary level

dawn vigil
#

any of you seen project moon
I'm wondering how the higher tier PML bosses would scale in City threat rating

manic coral
#

but also

dusk laurel
#

holy shit

deft vessel
#

But again, how many dabloons would a auric dragon pelt cost?

dusk laurel
#

project moon

dusk laurel
#

providence would be star of the city for sure

deft vessel
robust osprey
#

how can a human fight a spider of around its size

#

without freaking out and die by a heart attack

dusk laurel
#

noxus would either be sotc or impuritas civitatis depending on how active it is

magic zenith
#

Let's scale me to random heartlands citizen

deft vessel
#

The Terrarian is……… Australian

robust osprey
#

what if it doesnt have a spear

#

not everyone has weapons

1 damage to the spider

#

😨

magic zenith
#

Knockback:

dusk laurel
#

we dont know much about noxus other than it's really strong and is a major threat

robust osprey
#

and DoG's boss, apparently

#

and is in the same place as signus in the distortion hierarchy

#

which is funny

dawn vigil
#

distortion?

robust osprey
#

distortion

tepid timber
#

So Noxus is DoG’s boss, and Signus shares a place in the distortion hierarchy with Noxus, but Signus is called the envoy of the devourer? Why would he be an envoy of a being beneath him on the hierarchy?

robust osprey
#

where DoG come from

#

and weaver

#

and signus...kinda

#

atleast 50% of signus is native of distortion

robust osprey
#

"envoy of the devourer" is not canon anymore

tepid timber
#

Ah gotcha

dawn vigil
robust osprey
#

a place

#

DoG's home

#

where the portal in CV leads

eager bluff

robust osprey

it's like, another dimension

I think

eager bluff
#

its SuperHell™️

limpid saddle
#

A weird amount of space basically folded in on itself & got all freaky & fucked up because of it

robust osprey
#

we will be able to go to the distortion

#

some day ™️

limpid saddle
#

Emphasis on eventually

#

as in

#

3000 fargo years

robust osprey
#

when SSO fully comes out, the devs would probably work on crags update

#

and then

#

distortion update

#

I think

limpid saddle
#

Along those lines yeah

#

Though there might be a plauge sub-biome added in between those two

robust osprey
#

so my grandsons might play distortion update when theyre 40

limpid saddle
#

Also alot of boss reworks

limpid saddle
#

for as we all know fabsol is immortal & does not die & for as long as they are sustained by the life essence of the Calamity dev team the Calamity mod will continue development

late veldt
#

could a god use another auric soul to like. double king ascension?

cloud ibex
#

i think in theory maybe but it'd fuck you up both mentally and physically

#

cause the part of a godly soul that's the original person's soul would get more and more watered down the more souls they absorbed

eager bluff
clear girder
#

If human + auric soul = god what happens when a dragon consumes a human soul

robust osprey
#

I don't think that's possible

#

I think about it like in undertale

#

UT monster's soul = cal human soul
UT human soul = cal auric soul

#

unless xeroc (pre ascension) and yharim could be something like boss monster (asgore)

#

since asgore's soul (and toriel's) stays a bit after dying, eventually breaking after some time

#

in the hypotetical case that a dragon absorbs yharim's soul it would be like a dragon god or something

#

but that's just my hc

#

minus the part when a monster absorbs more than 1 human soul

gentle plover
#

is there a lore reason as to why Providence and the other profaned creatures only start appearing post-ML?

split mortar
gentle plover
#

aha

#

I thought it might be because she was afraid of moon lord and with him dead she dares make more moves but that makes more sense

#

on that note tho, could ML beat any of the post-ML bosses in the shape he is in when we fight him or is he weak enough that DoG, Yharon or Providence could beat him?

split mortar
#

Dog, yharon and providence i imagine could, maybe guardians

But the much less intelligent ones like weaver or CV or folly would figure out they cant harm ml and have to hurt the eyes

gentle plover
#

is it in the lore that his body is basically invulnerable to damage?

dusk laurel
#

not yet, but yeah it is canon

gentle plover
#

ight, cool

split mortar
#

Its not stated anywhere in text

But

Uh
The writers have used it as an example of ml being the tankiest and hardest to put down fucker ever
-# also its in the game via the mechanics

gentle plover
#

so zeratros and the other dragons had to snipe his eyes too lmao

split mortar
#

They broke open moonlords skull
Tore moonlord in half
Scooped out its organs
Trapped it on the moon for 8+ centuries

And its still one of the strongest things on the planet

gentle plover
#

coco crazy

#

also, it was pretty funny that mr. Moon Lord pfp answered the Moon Lord question

#

anyway, thank you for answering

gentle plover
#

he is cool

glacial rampart
timid lotus
#

is peak xeroc stronger than peak fovos?

dusk laurel
#

yah

split mortar
#

Xeroc is the strongest character

timid lotus
split mortar
#

Full ml is going to need yharon, yharim, scal, exos and jared to really have a chance at being defeated according to cei iirc

robust osprey
#

would yharon even survive if he's with to jared

#

or assuming jared wont implode when outside of abyss

#

and can breath in air

split mortar
#

You can drag jared out the abyss iirc

robust osprey
#

really?

#

well I'm guessing it can go outside beacuse of silva

tepid timber
#

Who the fuck is jared

robust osprey
#

primordial

#

wyrm

tepid timber
#

Oh

robust osprey
#

just a meme name everyone says beacuse it's an actual name and not a title

#

and it's its name in GFB

tepid timber
#

Neat

robust osprey
#

and it's shorter than primordial wyrm

#

well ig you can also use PW..

tepid timber
#

With a name like jared it should far larger

split mortar
#

The name originated from a streamer playing calamity and coming across a glitch that made the wyrm friendly and follow you after it killed you

Wyrm got called jared by the streamer and it stuck

timid lotus
#

endgame terraraian is as strong as the dragons

#

meaning that yharim should be close

split mortar
limpid saddle
split mortar
#

At end game

limpid saddle
#

dragons were also highly varied in power

split mortar
#

Slime god is possibly stronger then the dragon of gluttony

timid lotus
#

it says dragons

split mortar
dusk laurel
#

the dragons are multiple individuals with varying degrees of power, who didn't even fully defeat ML, they only sealed it away

split mortar
#

Zeratros has been confirmed to be very relative to yharim in power

They got lethally wounded with many allies helping them

dusk laurel
split mortar
#

Also moonlord is arguably the tankiest guy in calamity

timid lotus
#

hmm

split mortar
#

So like

dusk laurel
#

ML is really durable and has insane healing capabilities

timid lotus
#

but jared isnt canon tho

#

possibly

dusk laurel
#

Jared is canon

split mortar
timid lotus
#

we dont know the full strength

split mortar
#

Whered you get that?

split mortar
timid lotus
#

theres very little lore is what im trying to say

dusk laurel
timid lotus
#

alr but hes a very unbalanced boss

#

he does insane amounts of damage per hit

dusk laurel
#

PW in its current state is not a good place to reference, it will very likely be fully reworked along with the redesign

timid lotus
#

yes

split mortar
#

Game stats arent the best at showing stats

Cause i doubt dungeon guardian is hitting stronger then scal

timid lotus
#

dungeon guardian is a game mechanic more than a character

indigo glade
#

PW isn't that much stronger than the final bosses.

What’s y’all’s biggest complaint about calamity lore? Idk curious because mine is the fact that some of the most powerful characters, such as the player, Yharim, and Calamitas herself, have absolutely no explanation as to why they’re so powerful, they just are. Might be wrong about Yharim though. But like if you can’t create a full backstory for the title character, you really have some work to do

timid lotus
indigo glade
twilit heron
split mortar
dusk laurel
#

Yes

timid lotus
#

and not canon

dusk laurel
#

It will be

indigo glade
split mortar
#

It will be made not shadowspec armour

indigo glade

#

demonshade was meant so you could demolish whatever yo uwant

dusk laurel
#

Demonshade will eventually become preYharim rather than endgame when it gets reworked

split mortar

twilit heron
indigo glade
split mortar
#

And they were equals

#

yet brimmy is so much weaker now and scal is post yharon

twilit heron
split mortar
#

And scal has the same magic signature as brimmy

twilit heron
#

So is she just brimmy v2?

cloud ibex
#

we don't really know yet

twilit heron
cloud ibex
#

also there's three reasons yharim is as strong as he is

split mortar
#

That wouldnt be pointed out by draedon if it was normal

cloud ibex
#
  1. he's attuned to the second(?) strongest dragon in existence ever
  2. he wears pure auric armor with exotechnological enhancements
  3. he's had over a literal century to train and get stronger
frozen zodiac
#

i was about to say 2 and 3 but just forgot attunement

indigo glade
split mortar
#

Third strongest dragon ever
Jared is second

Second strongest auric dragon though

twilit heron
#

Speaking of yharon, if I read his lore thingy right, doesn’t he have the power to rebirth other dragons?

cloud ibex
#

he does yes

dusk laurel
#

Yep, other auric dragons

split mortar
#

He is why the others could rebirth endlessly

cloud ibex
#

problem is that requires their souls to be intact

dusk laurel
#

If their soul still exists

twilit heron
split mortar
#

?

twilit heron
#

Could you not just steal the auric souls back from the gods?

cloud ibex
#

no

dusk laurel
#

Same braincell...

frozen zodiac
#

what would the calamity world be like if xeroc never absorbed xeratros

split mortar
#

A god ascension completely fucks up the auric dragons soul

cloud ibex
#

the process of ascension fuses the person's soul with the auric soul

wheat walrus
#

auric soul + other soul = divine soul (unofficial title, but the gist of it is that it's not auric anymore)

split mortar
#

And the god soul also fucking explodes monster undertale style on death

cloud ibex
#

there's no way to separate the two after the fact

split mortar
twilit heron
#

Ngl that sounds like an excuse they made so people wouldn’t beg to fight more dragons /j

tepid timber
#

Fair excuse

dusk laurel
twilit heron
#

But yeah I get it

wheat walrus
split mortar
#

We already fight many dragons lol

Like maybe even double that of gods
-# though only 1 auric dragon

wheat walrus
#

and gods would just be dying, not dying in the calamity equivalent of the rotten vale nor the everstream

twilit heron
split mortar
#

Just ones that came from auric dragons

twilit heron
frozen zodiac
#

whats the main event in the calamity world where the years started from 0 again
like in real life we have before and after christ and in star wars it was i think before and after the first death star exploded

twilit heron
#

And then poor Betsy just isn’t canon

tepid timber
frozen zodiac
#

If any crossover was canon everything would crumble apart

wheat walrus
# wheat walrus founding whatevs

but yea Azafure is the first city, and the main calendar starts around the time of its foundation (slightly less than 2000 years ago as of present age), and as of Draedon, the entirety of recorded history starts around 2000 years ago so right before or around that time

twilit heron
#

Honestly even if crossover stuff was canon I feel like ood still wouldn’t be

#

That’s just too much of a conflict

#

Would love to see ood be canon but it would be super hard to do tbh

tepid timber
#

Draedon should use his stupid fucking nerd brain and make a time machine so we can fight zeratros

frozen zodiac
#

the 2 main crossovers from vanilla are both explicitly the other world invading, whether its canon to those other worlds im not sure

split mortar
#

Dont starve has eoc and twins

#

So ig so

cloud ibex
#

i think the dryad shows up in dd2

split mortar
#

Yea

cloud ibex
#

and also a handful of terraria weapons

wheat walrus
twilit heron
#

Of terraria

frozen zodiac
eager bluff
#

her shimmered form is a reference to her in dd2 tho

twilit heron
#

The problem with making old ones canon is that to do it you’d either have to a) make a multiverse and people always get turned off by that, tho a multiverse plot can work if done correctly, problem is calamity isn’t built in a way where a multiverse would work, or b) directly contradict the lore of dd2 x terraria

split mortar
#

-# also dont starve has a multiverse plot

snow mountain
#

its canon, it just has so little bearing on the actual lore that it simply doesn't matter

frozen zodiac
#

remind me is the lore team gonna try to make pumpkin and frost moon canon or do they still think "dedicated content to: jesucristo" makes it impossible

snow mountain
split mortar
#

Makes it impossible

snow mountain
#

it has so little bearing

split mortar
#

Spookmoon and frostmoon are still not canon thanks to jesucristo or whatever i dont rember

wheat walrus
#

jesus christ...

cosmic zenith

#

one of the most important themings of calamity is nothing being eternal, how everything will end at some point, how even still, that end is the beginning of something new, and social reactions of it with those who refuse the change, those who bring forth the change, those who accept it and all inbetween

#

the average auric dragon was similar in strength to a normal eidolon wyrm

indigo glade
#

"Relatives of the auric dragons, they adapted to hide away in a forgotten corner of the world to survive the great purges. And yet even without auric souls, the power of eidolon wyrms rivals many of their brethren who possessed them." Eidolon Wyrm's Bestiary entry.

frozen zodiac
#

Wait i never thought about it until now, did the hardmode ores just disappear alongside the sealing of essence inside WOF?

indigo glade
#

So a lot of them weren't actually that strong...

frozen zodiac
indigo glade
#

I believe it was Cei who confirmed it, in this channel, so you can use the search feature, because I do not remember the exact wording.

frozen zodiac
#

i was having an idea recently on a new death animation for providence that emphasizes her essence being spread across the land

indigo glade
#

But it was essentially that most gameplay things have an explanation, including the ores.

frozen zodiac
#

with stuff like the dreamcatcher symbols when the radiance dies in hollow knight

cyan coyote

I'm not sure how you emphasise that more...

i feel like a boss dying in the background screen could be cool

they just fly away and then a massive explosion or something

#

or if its a boss that spawns a new ore they crash down

cyan coyote
cyan coyote
frozen zodiac
#

maybe not them then

#

if they want to keep providence exploding i think making it more graceful could work

#

right now it just feels like a bunch of lines

cyan coyote
#

The ocasional EoCs flying around only to be shot down is really silly

frozen zodiac
#

arent there several eoc in lore

cyan coyote
frozen zodiac
#

she turns into an outline but instead of exploding she just stops flapping her wings and she fades away

cosmic zenith
#

That said, well, people can get pretty powerful even without as much access to powerful gear like the player

#

And it still took multiple people to kill a Dragon
For example, the Flame Dragon was killed by Providence and her 3 companions

hey stip can I ask a question about dragons?

did they all have scales?

"Oh I'm still in the calamity mod discord, cool"

#

Anyways is the Dragon of Death like 3rd strongest 🙏

barren sonnet
#

I’ve noticed that a lot of the stronger gods had similar goals between the person and dragon, for example the ravager wanted to have sacrifices, the death dragon wanted to death people probably, but when the person and dragon have different goals, the god is weaker, for example, the slime god does not give into gluttony, and persevered balance, but is super weak.

#

Is this real or just a coincidence

cloud ibex
tepid timber

I think the gods goals changed after they gained their powers from ascension

Random question, what do people in the calamity universe use for livestock?

Yharon would be second strongest, due to him surviving and having a busted domain

I so wanna get some Artemis and Apollo inspirations for Life and Death Dragons

dusk laurel

#

would dragon meat be considered a heretic meal

eager bluff
#

death moonlights as santa in discworld and iirc directly stated that the best gift for someone is life

cosmic zenith

Apollo being a symbol of enlightenment (Life), while Artemis is a symbol of wilderness and nature (Death)

Idk about that artemis tie in

light linden

How so

tepid timber

Probably a more fitting god that can be used

Yeah, I mean moreso the parallel aspect rather than a direct, not-subtle reference

"Life and death have been in love for longer than words can describe, life sends countless gifts to death, and death keeps them forever"

Because yeah the domains don't really match well

For that reason, I would associate Envy with a neurotropic spit that allows the Envy Dragon to puppet the people said spit comes into contact with, before killing them in a set amount of time

#

Able to steal the skills of others, but never keep them

#

Endlessly striving to follow in the footsteps of others in a vicious, obsessive way, but never accomplishing anything due to an inability to self-reflect

#

I definitely don't say all this because I know what it's like to look up to someone so intensely you start to question your own accomplishments

envy is the desire of what others have

greed is the desire of that which you dont need
wrath is the desire to harm others
sloth is the desire to stagnate
gluttony is the desire to consume
pride is the desire to be above all

Is Noxus, in essencce, a very destructive glass canon? I would imagine he would die quite quickly if he showed his face around Xeroc, but he has more destructive capability than Xeroc, right?

tepid timber
#

No

#

that is old lore wording

tepid timber

Xeroc is the most powerful

#

Just flat out

dusk laurel
#

This might have been outright confirmed somewhere

#

idk

tepid timber
#

Never heard of this until now

tidal tulip
#

Stip answered me in an AMA telling me Xeroc is generally around continental to multi-continental (with some disagreements between devs I believe), with Noxus being a planetary threat.

dusk laurel
#

Noxus has more destructive power yeah

#

Xeroc is stronger conventionally

tepid timber
#

What can noxus do exactly attack wise?

dusk laurel
#

we dont know

eager bluff
dusk laurel
#

Ya

tidal tulip
tepid timber
#

Well now I need this fight

tidal tulip
#

I absolutely agree

manic coral
#

i mean Yharim also qualifies as "planetary threat" and so does draedon potentially

#

i'd say your actions causing the detahs of half the world's population qualifies

#

at least vaguely

#

cosndiering as strong as he is at this point he probably COULD just go "fuck it" and kill literally everybody in the world basically if he really wanted to

#

the only people who'd be able to stop him realisticlaly or Calamitas maybe under some very specific circumstances or Draedon

#

i think that there are ways Cal could potentially become strong enough to fight Yharim and have at least a solid enough 50/50 chance of winning

#

if push really came to shove

Cave Story could take place in the calamity world and it would make sense for both

Idk what cave story is

It's pretty great

bold dragon
#

Yharim is a good guy from what i read

barren sonnet
#

No

#

Not even close

#

He uses “justice” to justify mass murder, and then ends up going so far that he turns basically everyone against him

barren sonnet
#

No

#

What

#

He is literally amoral and was obsessed with creating life with no free will

Kind of

Zeratros is the only stronger one

King of the dagrons

south relic
#

Besides Zeratros and Yharon, what other auric dragons are mentioned in the in-game text?

clear girder
#

i don't think there were any other mentioned dragons

#

But you can deduce what dragons there were by looking at the gods like Silva

south relic
#

If there is a god of life, does that mean there was a dragon that controlled the power of life?

clear girder
#

yes

#

probably

#

there are some gods that didn't have an auric soul like astrum deus

#

but most likely she has a auric soul

light linden
#

flame made providence, life made silva, death made the god that was turned into the ravager

#

oh also gluttony

#

which made the slime god

clear girder
light linden
#

yes

#

most gods don't have the same domain as the dragon

#

Xeroc and Silva are the exceptions

#

they are the only ones that ascended correctly

#

and thus kept the same domain, kept their old appearance, and are significantly more powerful than most other gods

south relic
#

Does the god that was turned into the ravager mean that only part of death could be maintained?
That one part was the sacrifice?

#

Sorry if I am saying something strange. I'm using a translator.

#

And one more question.
Do the dragons of fire, life, death, etc. no longer exist because their souls have been consumed?

clear girder
#

all of the dragons are extinct if you exclude Yharon

sinful adder
#

I wonder what the moon is. Is it special, somehow? Just a rock? Or something more?

Ok, I thought I remembered Yharim mention something similar to the word 'heresy' when regarding the priest who would be Xeroc killing the Dragon of Light to become a self-titled god.

why are we calling miracle matter "miracle matter" if theres obviously nothing miraculous there and its science

limpid saddle
#

thats canon

cloud ibex
#

cause the terrarian is not a scientist and at a certain point of technological advancement science becomes indistinguishable from magic

#

you don't understand how the hell it works so from your perspective it's basically a miracle

mighty zenith
#

its like its some king of miracle matter....

the king of miracle matter

#

My one exception to "the Terrarian can be whatever you want" is that I draw the line at inherently shitty concepts

#

And your character being smarter than Draedon is there HDfailure

mighty zenith
#

and thats why mine is a science nut obsessed with draedon that doesnt know half the shit they're talking about but they really want to be as smart as him

spare pier
#

Even Draedon didn't figure out how to stabilize Miracle Matter, he just says

#

"Ok I see how you did it"

#

Like, he understands the process better than you do

#

Which is why he says "this isn't a miracle dipshit you just did science"

scal being an eye isnt canon

limpid saddle

she was never a big floating eyeball

like in lore i mean

pulsar ocean

what

limpid saddle
#

i know in game she was a big eyeball

mighty zenith
#

she was one 3 years ago but now shes just a person

limpid saddle
#

But in lore she has always been human(?) woman

pulsar ocean
#

so why is her clone an eye

mighty zenith
#

calclone is a human clone inside a machine

#

the design is just old as shit and looks like an eye

cloud ibex
#

calamity isn't a live service game things that were in the game before but aren't anymore aren't like things that happened Before in-universe

does that make the infernum cal clone more canon to today's lore

mighty zenith
#

not really no

limpid saddle
#

Ehh

ehhhhh

#

ehhhh?

#

kinda

mighty zenith
#

calshadow looks like a fucked up zombie monster which i dont think is the intention with calclone

limpid saddle
#

but yeah not really

gritty kraken
#

What if calclone resprite make her pilot a helicopter or something

limpid saddle
#

She just looks more worn, & ragged, & fucked up

#

which makes sense

#

Since criminally insane clone housing an anount of power so great it destroyed her psyche

mighty zenith
#

kinda yeah but the red eyes and pitchblack face are more monstrous

#

scal looks like that when hooded but calshadow doesnt have a hood

#

shes just like that
