he also acted as a spy

#

like ofc he would be a spy when he has access to tiny camera drones

snow mountain
#

draedon would be good at performing colonoscopies

cosmic sandal
#

like we are playing the entire game through the eyes of one of those drones

paper oyster
#

Does Draedon canonically lobotomizes his creations to like keep control and shit

split mortar
#

Pretty sure they just
Dont code free will into them

split mortar
#

And the one time things did have free will
They found out how to control organic life to be able to undo that in the future if they ever have to

dark sundial
#

They are only machines

split mortar
#

Except base mech bosses since they had souls

sinful adder
dark sundial
#

Draedon likes to have total control

#

It would be possible for draedon to add an auric soul in one of his creations?

split mortar
#

No cause no auric souls exist and yharons is a mcfuck pain to get ahold of

#

If they somehow did get a soul
Yeah prob

young socket
#

and also

dark sundial
#

Isnt possible to absorb a auric sol from a auric god or only dragons?

young socket
#

theyre still a soul

#

so thatd just be yharon in a mech

split mortar
#

Though it would be monstrously harder to control then a normal soul

split mortar
dark sundial
#

Imagine how op a mech powered by a auric soul

#

Oh

dark sundial
manic coral
#

saying "auric god" is like saying "cocoa chocolate"

split mortar
split mortar
dark sundial
#

And draedon is the smartest guy in cal lore right?

young socket
dark sundial
manic coral
#

yeah my point is moreso

young socket
#

it would be like

#

chai leaf chai

manic coral
#

"cocoa chocolate" implies chocolate not make of cocoa exists

#

same with "auric god"

manic coral
dark sundial
manic coral
#

but my point is still the same

young socket
manic coral
#

no i mean

#

chocolate not amde with cocoa

young socket
#

o h

#

SHUT

manic coral
#

Deus is entirely different fuckery

split mortar
# dark sundial ?

The only people that could be are noxus and xeroc
Xeroc is better in magic but draedon doesnt really understand magic so moot point

So noxus is only option due to us not knowing anything on them
Safe to say draedon is smartest being known in calamity id say

manic coral
#

and at the end of the day

#

"you technically can't disprove it" isn't the best proof

dark sundial
#

Yharim is smart ? Or he is dumb?

young socket
#

depends

manic coral
#

yharim is stupid but he's not dumb

#

he's smart and stupid

#

both at once

dark sundial
#

And the only powerhouses in yharim side right now are scal and yharon?

split mortar
#

Not scal

#

Just yharon

long bloom
split mortar
#

And technically dog

manic coral
#

and, if you count him, yharim himself

manic coral
dark sundial
#

Its funny that yharim just allow us to kill yharon

manic coral
#

it's ahrd to count anybody who genuinely, whole-heatedly thinks that the solution to a problem is genocide, it's hard to call them SMART

young socket
#

a chemist might not know everything about psychology

long bloom
#

everyone left yharim because of how much he sucks and ruins everything he touches

split mortar
long bloom
#

there's a complicated ritual to absorb an auric soul and we killed everyone left who knew how before we asked them

dark sundial
#

If yharim is such an asshole why yharon is still in his side?

split mortar
#

Yharon is also a ass hole

#

Yharon encourages it

dark sundial
#

Oh

#

I mean everyone in call lore is an asshole besides aquatic scourge

#

He is a good boi

long bloom
#

yeah

long bloom
#

can devs make deus an actual god

#

it's really stupid that they're not

dark sundial
#

Its funny that we kill eldritch beings then we kill AS that is just a big aquatic worm

split mortar
#

They dont wanna retcon too much

long bloom
#

what is that retconning

split mortar
#

Infact imo its better deus aint a god cause that is just ruining some cool space lore imo

dark sundial
#

Technicaly Deus is an alien

#

Not a God

split mortar
#

Not even technically they just are (also god and alien can both be the case)

dark sundial
#

Astrum deus is just a big space worm

long bloom
#

i'm saying it would be better if deus was a god imo

split mortar
#

Deus wouldnt be able to be infected if they were a god

long bloom
#

why

dark sundial
long bloom
#

the stars

split mortar
# long bloom why

Since someone has to do a complex ritual which requires them to yknow
Understand it

long bloom
#

god of the stars

jaunty marsh
split mortar
long bloom
#

deus's title

dark sundial
#

I mean astrum deus is such a cool boss

dark sundial
split mortar
long bloom
#

complex ritual for what

#

to eat stars?

split mortar
#

To god ascens

dark sundial
#

So astrum deus couldnt just eat an dragon? I mean he eats stars as lunch

long bloom
split mortar
#

And they have to be smart to god ascend

dark sundial
#

I mean if DoG ate yharon he would became a god?

split mortar
#

You need to do a specific ritual

dark sundial
#

What would happen

long bloom
#

deus's mind could've deteriorated over the centuries
that's not far fetched

split mortar
#

The soul prob goes to noxus or the soul tp’s to the aerie

dark sundial
#

Is possible for someone to absorb more than one auric soul?

long bloom
#

don't think so

split mortar
split mortar
dark sundial
#

Hell torture?

split mortar
long bloom
dark sundial
#

So if someone absorbs more than one auric soul he just dies? Like if someone eat a second devil fruit?

split mortar
#

Yharim would have likely also killed deus if they were a god
Idk
I think adding deus directlt to the god plot is just not good

long bloom
#

that's fair

split mortar
long bloom
#

also i don't think it's unreasonable for deus to not get yharimed considering that

#

y'know

#

they're in space

split mortar
#

Yharim would just ask draedon to missile them down or something

dark sundial
#

And DoG sentinels are loyal to him or loyal to noxus?

long bloom
#

sentinels are no longer affiliated with dog

dark sundial
#

Oh

long bloom
#

yeah i don't like it either

split mortar
magic epoch
#

the only tie they all have is the fact they're distortion

dark sundial
#

How signus outrank dog ? He is weaker than dog

split mortar
split mortar
#

Irl

magic epoch
split mortar
#

I doubt the distortion is might makes right

dark sundial
#

So there is more beings like DoG in noxus dimension?

split mortar
#

Unlikely

long bloom
#

isn't signus like extremely intelligent

split mortar
#

Yes

dark sundial
#

So besides Noxus DoG is the strongest in the distortion dimension?

long bloom
#

maybe

magic epoch
long bloom
#

we don't know what else is out there

split mortar
#

Possibly

split mortar
#

Yeah but dog could be a thing made by noxus not just a normal creature

long bloom
#

we know literally zero information about noxus other than its name

#

and that it's important in the distortion

split mortar
#

Thats it

long bloom
#

hivemind causer?

split mortar
#

The distortion likely has a hivemind in it that noxus probably causes

#

Said by draedon

long bloom
#

separate from the boss

#

okay

split mortar
#

Look it up in draetalk its prob the dog section or if it exists distortion section

long bloom
#

i wanna see draetalk in my playthrough

split mortar
#

A ok

dark sundial
#

Who would be the weakest god we fight ? Slime god?

split mortar
#

Yes

jaunty wraith
#

Question: are there still connections to the guide and the WOF in calamity or I'd the spawning method just a non Canon remnant from vanilla?

long bloom
#

that is in fact the weakest god we fight yes

long bloom
#

none right now tho

dusk laurel
#

yep

jaunty wraith
#

Yeah outside of very few extra dialog, the vanilla NPCs don't really have much

dusk laurel
#

the guide has something to do with the wall

#

the guide will talk about it in the next update

split mortar
dark sundial
#

And besides scal who would be the strongest npc? Permafrost?

split mortar
#

Yeah prob

long bloom
#

calamity guide lore:
-is from azafure
-wof is made out of azafurians
-his wife died in the brimmy vs calamitas fight

jaunty wraith
#

If we wanna go crackpot theory... it be cirrus

dark sundial
#

So permafrost is stronger than amidias?

long bloom
#

vastly

#

amidias can fight but he's just a guy

#

permafrost is the greatest mage in history

split mortar
dark sundial
#

Scal is a normam human?

#

Or she is from another race?

long bloom
#

azafurian

dark sundial
#

Oh

jaunty wraith
#

Are azafurians a type of demon or are they thier own thing?

long bloom
#

environmentally adapted humans

dark sundial
#

Is scal lore still
Yharim: look that homeless girl can defeat Gods i will recruit her

long bloom
#

i think so

split mortar
jaunty wraith
#

It's a lot more emphasis on the tragedy of it then the old lore

split mortar
jaunty wraith
#

But the general story of calamitas breaking mentally under yharim

dark sundial
#

There is any civilization in the terraria world when the terrarian arrives besides the lithzards?

split mortar
split mortar
#

Due to playing on the hell continent

split mortar
dark sundial
#

So the dryads arent almost extinct in cal lore?

jaunty wraith
#

I believe the dryad is still the last of her kind, and even has a line about paying respects to her fallen goddess (silva)

split mortar
jaunty wraith
#

She wouldn't die so he threw her in the abyss

dark sundial
#

What you guys think would happen if yharim never found scal?

split mortar
#

Yea

split mortar
long bloom
jaunty wraith
#

However she's not truly dead as her influence is heavily present in the abyss

dark sundial
#

And the only person scal likes now is permafrost?

split mortar
#

And the fact she is a elemental

split mortar
#

Everyone she cared about died but them

dark sundial
#

And why scal still help us ?i mean we killed her brothers

jaunty wraith
#

There is a few npcs she gets along with... so there's that

long bloom
#

no we didn't

split mortar
#

Thats their reanimated corpse

dark sundial
#

Oh

jaunty wraith
#

Necromancy is a very inperfect art

dark sundial
#

So what sepulchor is?

long bloom
#

her victims

jaunty wraith
#

Even the most powerful wizards can't keep them stable for long

long bloom
#

i think

split mortar
jaunty wraith
#

I remember old theories of how that was the fate of the DOG

dark sundial
jaunty wraith
#

Honestly she needs therapy

split mortar
dark sundial
jaunty wraith
#

Yeah but still

split mortar
#

Yeah she was heavily manipulated into thinking it was good to kill them

Thats still gonna be traumatic thi

jaunty wraith
#

If you were a teen and someone manipulation you to incinerate and entire kingdom...

split mortar
dark sundial
#

I like scal alot as a character and she is the only npc i try to build a nice house for the others only got prison builder

long bloom
#

based

split mortar
dark sundial
#

I mean at the best of my abilities as a builder that are almost 0

split mortar
#

And so does every cal npc iirc

jaunty wraith
#

The sad irony of that is that the sea king (forgot his name) actually is willing to forgive calamitas for what she did to her kingdom... the only one who doesnt... is herself

unborn wind
#

with calamitas ifeel like its important to remember that she grew up surrounded by war and death and she came to yharim fresh off the heels of violently losing her entire family and then was groomed for years from childhood into becoming a weapon of war

dark sundial
#

Ye

split mortar
#

Yeah she is uhhh
Had it a bit rough

jaunty wraith
#

Also, is calamitas canonicly aroace or is that a head cannon?

long bloom
#

canon

split mortar
#

Yes its canon

unborn wind
#

it really bothers me when people act like shes literally satan like. what was teenage heavily traumatized and manipulated calamitas supposed to say when the literal most powerful man on earth told her to commit war crimes. say nuh-uh?

split mortar
#

Not cause trauma
She just is

dark sundial
#

It would be cool to add new dialogues for calamitas and a option for us to talk and try to help her

jaunty wraith
#

Her trauma is the big reason she can't go fight yharim herself

split mortar
dark sundial
jaunty wraith
#

In raw power she may be more powerful but yharim has way more skill and experience, plus it's beyond likely calamitas would just break down completely seeing him

unborn wind
#

i dont want calamitas to come help us fight yharim

#

she hs had enough yharim for her entire life

split mortar
#

Aight wotg spoilers bye

split mortar
jaunty wraith
#

The player at that point is powerful enough

#

(Assuming the plan stays the same and calamitas is still the penultimate boss)

split mortar
dark sundial
#

Or if we help her we unlock more enchantments

unborn wind
#

i don't think calamitas would find any catharsis in killing yharim it would just traumatize her further

split mortar
#

^

jaunty wraith
#

Good point

split mortar
jaunty wraith
#

But does this mean the exo mechs could also take down yharim? He himself admitted that the exo mechs rival calamatis in power

split mortar
#

Yes they have a chance

#

Infact prob a bigger one since they are made to counter yharim specifically iirc

unborn wind
#

they're made to match his power not counter him

jaunty wraith
#

That obviously won't happen either cause draedon made it clear he just wants to see your fight with him

manic coral
#

the exo-mechs were just made to be on the same level of strength yharim was when he and draedon last met

#

not to counter him

#

just yeah as they said

#

same level of power

dark sundial
#

Draedon do not give a shit about yharim or gods he just want to do his inventions in peace

jaunty wraith
split mortar
#

Draedon is doing science like a drug

unborn wind
#

listen to what draedon says about the exo mechs not what yharim says about them

split mortar
#

Noxus aint a god

#

Its just
A thing we dunno about

dark sundial
#

He isnt?

split mortar
#

Nop

long bloom
#

nop

jaunty wraith
#

No

unborn wind
#

draedon did not make the exo mechs To challenge gods he says theyve surpassed gods but that wasnt the point of their creation

dark sundial
#

So the only god that is still alive is xeroc?

split mortar
#

Theres other gods then the ones we fight

#

Also silva is alive

jaunty wraith
#

Providence is another big one

split mortar
#

They uhh
Die to us

jaunty wraith
#

I mean in general

#

Like when the story starts and we begin ascending beyond your control

dark sundial
#

I mean even if providence is still alive we would just one shot her

deft valve
split mortar
#

Not even yharim can oneshot her

#

The strength gap aint THAT big to allow that

jaunty wraith
#

Providence is one of the most powerful gods still remaining

dark sundial
#

I mean we would beat her easily

split mortar
#

True

jaunty wraith
#

There's a reason she never took the player seriously until fovos was slain

deft valve
jaunty wraith
dark sundial
#

Providence is so strong that a boomer fish is stronger than her

split mortar
deft valve
split mortar
#

Also provi has split her power to the guardians aswell

#

Old duke is not weak

dark sundial
#

He is boomer fishroom

split mortar
#

The guy has had millenia to grow

#

Due to being among the first offshoots ever

jaunty wraith
#

I just find it funny that old Duke scales that high in power, at the point we have fought some of the mightiest gods, fought a calglobration of tortured souls... yet this damn fish scales after them

dark sundial
#

So the pigrons are also related to dragons?

jaunty wraith
#

Yes

split mortar
dusk laurel
#

the pigrons are dragons yeah

jaunty wraith
#

The wyrms in the abyss also are too I beleige

split mortar
#

Old duke is a dragon that looks like a fish

#

Well barely

#

It looks very dragon to me in the reaprite

turbid solar
#

is there a full timeline for the lore? i looked in the one google doc but i couldn't find a full cohesive timeline

split mortar
#

Theres no timeline rn sadly

turbid solar
#

damn

jaunty wraith
#

It's not fully complete yet iirc

split mortar
#

Yeah after sso one will prob be more plausoble

#

Ima go sleep its half oast midnighg

dark sundial
#

Cal lore still has alot of plotholes

split mortar
dark sundial
#

I mean alot of things to be explained

turbid solar
#

i just beat scal and i was too lazy to learn about the lore during my playthrough so i was gonna just read about it online but ig there's nowhere to learn it

unborn wind
#

unanswered questions =/= plot holes

split mortar
#

There is the lore doc but thats kinda big
Sadly videos aint the most reliable

turbid solar
#

but i've been told it doesnt exist

unborn wind
#

you can piece it together by reading the lore

split mortar
#

There are some stuff we know the general time of when they hapoened
But no central thing that explains the timeline has been made

dark sundial
#

Cal would be a cool anime

#

Or manga

#

If i had the abilities to draw i would make a cal manga

turbid solar
#

i would definitely watch that

dark sundial
#

Cal has a better lore than most games,animes and mangas that are being released

manic coral
#

if something like either of those did somehow happen in any remtoely offical manner it's something i for should wouldn't allow to happen without being able to have a lot of oversight over it HDFailure

manic coral
dark sundial
unborn wind
#

my dream is that a mysterious wealthy benefactor would randomly show up and be like "this is what you're doing for the rest of your life" and paid me to draw a calamity comic

dark sundial
#

Xd

turbid solar
#

calamity as a whole was really good though

turbid solar
#

terraria is already in my top 3 favorite games

dark sundial
split mortar
#

Imo a manga or anime would fit better before the terrian pops up

Since a lot of stuff happens in the past

manic coral
turbid solar
pulsar ocean
#

it has plot?

manic coral
#

frieren, chainsawman, etc

dark sundial
#

Not all

unborn wind
#

i don't know why calamity would be adapted into a manga or anime considering it is not of japanese origin

dark sundial
split mortar
manic coral
#

(god i love chainsaw man)

dark sundial
#

99% of animes and manga released nowadays are just generic aura farming

#

Or generic isekai 89900

split mortar
#

Explodes permafrost with brain

#

Bye for real now bai

turbid solar
#

one peak 🙏

dark sundial
#

Bye

#

The only anime that i like in this season for example is to be hero x

#

Peak anime

#

To be hero x author made one of my favorite anime Link Click

#

Such a goated anime

#

For me is on pair with steins gate as a time travel anime

turbid solar
#

nothing compares though

#

to the real goat

dark sundial
#

?

turbid solar
#

one piece

dark sundial
#

I like OP but not that much

#

For me is just good

#

For me at least

turbid solar
#

are you caught up?

dark sundial
#

Ye

turbid solar
#

huh

dark sundial
#

Im waiting the new manga chapter

#

As i said i like it but i dont find it amazing for me is just good

turbid solar
#

that's fair

#

but you do have to admit, there's a hell of a lot of lore

dark sundial
#

OP for me is a 8/10

turbid solar
dark sundial
#

Most of my rly good animes are 9/10 or 10/10

#

XD

#

7/10 for me is reserved for mid animes like naruto

#

Demon slayer

turbid solar
#

naruto and demon slayer are 6/10s for me

#

like enjoyable and they have decent stories, but really bland at times and usually follow basic story tropes

dark sundial
#

I mean my favorite anime is on my profile peak and discord name

#

Overlord

#

Best isekai in my opinion

turbid solar
#

im not too familiar with isekai

dark sundial
#

Overlord is one of the good ones

turbid solar
#

im new into anime (like 4 years) and most of the stuff i've seen are battle shonen

manic coral
dark sundial
#

Ye that makes sense

plucky juniper
#

so okay i still dont like the "Cthulhu as a term actually means a big monster" thing

#

its a super lame way to try to explain why Moon Lord isn't Cthulhu and the Eyes and Brains are not part of him

visual kiln
#

p

lunar thorn
#

p

robust osprey
#

p

robust osprey
#

and terrarian probably names TEoC

plucky juniper
#

its not just that

#

its specifically used to describe something called "X of Cthulhu"

#

and uh

#

"of Cthulhu?"

#

that i think is what throws me off

robust osprey
#

well, what about this, cthuhlu can easily be another name for moonlord

#

fovos is just

plucky juniper
#

that is true!

robust osprey
#

one of its names

plucky juniper
#

I do not mind that!

#

hang on i was trying to write down a personal headcanon replacement

robust osprey
#

it has no real name

plucky juniper
#

If I had to do it, here's how I'd try to explain that instead:

The Moon Lord, destructive strength and alien nature and all, was seemingly completely unexplainable, which led to all sorts of misconceptions and confusion. Often, he was often conflated with a mythical sea monster, hence why he is often even to this day referred to as "Cthulhu." This misconception has even led to one set of his minions, named the "Eyes of Cthulhu", having their names conflated with more recent floating eyeball monsters.

sinful adder
plucky juniper
#

i dunno i dont like making cthulhu a generic title for big monster

#

it feels

#

weird

long bloom
#

i like it

#

it's kinda like mata nui

#

from bionicle

#

the name of the island/god but the words just mean "great spirit"

sinful adder
#

I don't think it's really much like that

#

It feels weird but it's the best explanation we have

plucky juniper
#

it should be better

#

I doubt mine is the best way, but i think it could inform a better explanation for why a floating eyeball and a floating brain are called "Eye/Brain of Cthulhu" while also explaining away why the Cthulhu-looking monster isnt cthulhu

sinful adder
#

Same reason we can't have Christmas or Halloween for the moon events

sinful adder
#

Lore writers say so

plucky juniper
#

Okay.

#

In base Terraria, Cthulhu isn't just a random reference thrown in, he's basically integral to the game. Literally the first iconic boss of the game, Eye of Cthulhu, has his name in its name. I don't think he's a random holiday-based event that physically is at complete odds with the written lore for Calamity.

#

Cthulhu, even if as a nonexistent fictional entity, isn't entirely at odds with the setting.

pliant ruin
#

It's just a standard lore writers have to not directly have content from other media

#

More of a personal thing than anything methinks

plucky juniper
#

We'd normally not do this, but Cthulhu's name is in the game. They're writing lore for a mod.

pliant ruin
#

yeah but they personally don't want to have chtulhu

#

so they don't have it

plucky juniper
#

That's okay. I think you can do that. But they way they did that is lame.

pliant ruin
#

That's kind of a rude way to phrase it but okay !

eager bluff
#

they dont want cthulhu (the character) so they didnt have cthulhu (the character)
they're stuck with the name so they have to explain it somehow

pliant ruin
#

I personally am not a huge fan of the Chtulhu explanation and i'd personally rather it just be unexplained because it just ends up being somewhat awkward?

#

Like, i understand why they did it and i think an attempt to recontextualize the word is kind of neat, but given most Chtulhu-related bosses have "of" in their names it does end up being a little awkward, yeah. It'd make more sense if it was "Chtulhu Brain" or "Chltuhu Eye"

#

Though again i suppose it could also mean "Brain of a Great Beast" so i guess that is a moot point

plucky juniper
#

And also. If you're gonna go that extra distance of flat out renaming the boss, just don't name them "X of Cthulhu!"

pliant ruin
#

It does still just feel somewhat awkward, i think because ultimately even if the text is telling me Chtulhu means xyz i'll still associate it with the lovecraftian mythos character

plucky juniper
#

thats my problem at the end of the day

pliant ruin
#

So i personally think just not explaining it would've been preferred to me

plucky juniper
#

you cannot tell a person that "Cthulhu is a generic term for a great beast" when there's a Cthulhu connection that is pretty clearly in the base game

pliant ruin
#

But ultimately it's not a big deal in the slightest and i can understand why the lore writers did it so i don't really care that much

#

maybe the terrarian is just a crazy hp lovecraft nerd idk

young socket
plucky juniper
#

It makes it sound like you're for some reason awfully afraid of the base game's lore. I don't like that...

tall delta
#

what If there was a villain in calamity called Dr. Cthulhu

young socket
young socket
#

yea thats fucking it everything else is completely original

pliant ruin
#

This feels like conjecture with no real basis ! Specifically written in a way to make lore writers seem more incompetent !

plucky juniper
pliant ruin
#

You can criticize things while. yk. not being rude about it

plucky juniper
#

Just look at the dragons of mythologies all around the world

plucky juniper
#

they arent

pliant ruin
#

And yeah, Moon Lord is visually similar to chtulhu even if it's not literally a 1:1 replica

#

(Moon lord is a straight downgrade btw Chtulhu himself has a way more uncanny body proportions if you look at the original drawings before the great popculturefication off Chtlhu don't @ me

plucky juniper
#

but i think trying to entirely destroy the cthulhu connection is not entirely needed

fading helm
#

Wouldnt it work if they just said that chtulu is a myth/folklore in calamity world?, and these monster were named after him ig

plucky juniper
plucky juniper
fading helm
#

would be a big blue ball ig

#

considering you wouldnt see any true cthulu

#

ingame

plucky juniper
#

because i find that current explanation very bad

fading helm
#

perhaps on the abbys there could be something similar to correlate to the myth/folklore

#

mini boss you know or smth like that

Colossal Squid

young socket
plucky juniper
#

and, imo, the recontextualising that was done, wasn't particularly well done

young socket
#

again this explanation is what makes cthulhu applicable to 3 things its related to without actually making them perfectly related

plucky juniper
#

I'm calling it "destroying" the connection because it, in essence does. It makes Cthulhu almost entirely unconnected to the Cthulhu looking thing

#

yet the term still exists

#

the story writers are, admittedly, not in the ideal spot for this. this is a situation where you don't want to make ML actually cthulhu, but you also for some reason dont want to rename the vanilla bosses for reasons that are probably completely valid but that im not aware of

pliant ruin
#

i don't mind the connection with ML being gone i just think it's sort of awkward
If you just left it unexplained you could fill it in with headcanons

#

Like yeah, maybe it's mythology/folklore

#

Or maybe it's just like

#

as i said

#

the terrarian is a really big lovvecraft mythos fan !

#

and they go. woah holy shit is that the EYE OF CHTULHU

plucky juniper
#

doesn the merchant literally refer to an "Eye of Cthulhu"

young socket
pliant ruin
#

i mean

#

the entrie point of my approach

#

is that you don't have to explain it

plucky juniper
#

I think the explanation's existence was because people were not sure why they're called "X of Cthulhu"

#

and they kept asking

pliant ruin
#

Much like how there's no explanation why eidolon wyrms are called eidolon wyrms ! even though eidolon is a word that stems from ancient greek that means ghost

plucky juniper
#

i first heard about this... lore semantic, in a randomly now missing doc that was previously pinned, which was about clarifying the lore

young socket
plucky juniper
#

so ya

young socket
#

also wait @pliant ruin hold on

#

theyre just called eidolon wyrms cuz of the eidolists worshipping them

plucky juniper
#

oyeah i forgot

pliant ruin
#

yeah but i'm talking about the origin of the word

#

i mentioned Eater of Worlds cos the ingame lore item tells you about how names can be inaccurate

"yeah they speak English even though England and everything associated with it doesn't exist, don't think about it too hard, thanks" -lore writers

long sand
#

I know provi and slime god have one I think

plucky juniper
#

the problem is, people are going to normally assume that the phrases are still the same mostly, because that's what they normally see. For instance, Yharim refers to DoG's deceitful talking as "a serpent's tongue."

maybe i'm not getting it right. Maybe just look at, for instance, how people in Final Fantasy XIV talk. Sure, it sounds like [language you selected], but you're also going to see specific sayings and terms that replace terms we'd use IRL, like ilms/fulms/yalms/malms/ to refer to measures of distances. It's hard to explain, but it's clear that their lingo (or something, i dunno i dont do linguistics i do volcano facts) is sufficiently different that when we hear someone yell "Thal's Ball!" for the first time, we can intuit that is a specific expletive used in-universe

#

To get straight to the point, Terraria speech isn't different enough that the player is going to guess that "Cthulhu" refers to something else other than the iconic squid-faced giant from space.

it has some slight basis and isn't just blatant media literacy devil speaking but it's still mostly based off some comedic connections between the two

calamitas being a girlfailure is the worst one in my humble opinion because while yharim liking bees is also stupir it's usually more of a oversaturated joke than something people actually believe in

Its related to auric and god oowers so prob magic weirdness

#

hey so i just beat boss rush for the first time, why does the wiki say the dude doing boss rush is XEROC and not YHARIM?! He literally says "Who bested even my old friend, the Phoenix..." (Only appears if Yharon has been defeated) and im pretty sure XEROC would not be friends with Yharon, seeing as Xeroc absorbed Yharon's leader's auric soul.

cloud ibex
#

he was

lament lion
#

h o w

cloud ibex
#

before xeroc absorbed zeratros' soul, he was a monk worshipping the dragons

lament lion
#

but nowhere does it say he was friends with Yharon

cloud ibex
#

says it right there

lament lion
#

no, it says he worshipped the dragons. not that he had a friendship with them.

cloud ibex
#

it doesn't seem unreasonable that he was friends with the dragons before all the bullshit with fovos and the ascension happened

lament lion
#

hmm....

#

yeah but what about all the other boss rush lines? those don't sound like something the gods would say.

#

and they seem more in line with the lore items than anything else

unborn wind
#

which ones

#

specifically

cloud ibex
#

like obviously yharon would want to throw xeroc in a woodchipper after the fact but before that he could've been pretty chill with xeroc

lament lion
#

and the lore items are written by Yharim

#

true, but there isn't any solid evidence.

#

and we have evidence that Yharim and Yharon were friends.

unborn wind
#

the person talking to you during boss rush quite literally is just factually xeroc

lament lion
#

Yharim states their sould were BINDED TOGETHER

#

how so?

unborn wind
#

i want to ask you if the person talking to you during boss rush was yharim why would he suddenly be talking to you with such unfamilarity

lament lion
#

he isn't

#

he doesn't talk with unfamilarity

unborn wind
# lament lion how so?

the artifact used to start it has xeroc's sigil. their eye watches you in the sky the entire time. lines such as "Whose power may match the only mortal who has ever made me doubt my own..."

lament lion
#

although the rock does mention Xeroc.

cloud ibex
#

this is a pretty solid indicator that xeroc is talking

unborn wind
#

"I wish to test your strength, using fragments of my Primordial Light taking the form of your past foes."

cloud ibex
#

PL is xeroc's whole Thing

lament lion
#

dang

#

didn't think about that

young socket
lament lion
#

thought that Yharim with all his immense power would be able to do that.

young socket
#

theyre still friends

lament lion
#

yharim states that he left his side and never looked back

cloud ibex
#

no, they are still friends

unborn wind
#

yharim just says "he has bade me farewell"

young socket
#

no he just says he will be dead by the time yharon comes back

cloud ibex
#

or rather, would be if yharon didn't toss himself at you and die

unborn wind
#

also roar of the jungle dragon lyrics are canon and are about yharon desperately trying to warn yharim that he's going to die if he tries to fight the player

#

yharim and yharon being friends is like. the entire thing

#

thats like The Basis

#

of calamity

cloud ibex
#

yharim is just lamenting that he won't see yharon again because his ass is dead by the time yharon comes back

lament lion
#

although yharim states they may still meet again

cloud ibex
#

in whatever afterlife exists in cal maybe

unborn wind
#

no he doesn't he says yharon may return but he has bade him farewell

lament lion
#

..."Yharon may yet return, as he does..."

cloud ibex
#

but yharim will die before yharon comes back

lament lion
#

Yharon may be rebirthed

unborn wind
#

yharon reincarnates a decade after he gets killed

cloud ibex
#

either by your hands or by old age

unborn wind
#

yharim will be dead by the time yharon comes back

lament lion
#

i doubt the old age part lol

unborn wind
#

yharim is 130+ years old

lament lion
#

i know

cloud ibex
#

he's already 130 he doesn't have much time left

lament lion
#

but he's practically immortal, right?

dusk laurel
#

no

unborn wind
#

no

#

absoltuley not

cloud ibex
#

not really

unborn wind
#

yharon's attunement extended his lifespan by a lot but he's running out of time

#

yharim would be dead of old age by now already if their souls werent attuned

cloud ibex
#

his lifespan has been extended a lot but even yharon himself isn't truly immortal

#

he still dies, he just gets better afterwards

lament lion
#

ohhh

cloud ibex
#

but yharim doesn't get that luxury

lament lion
#

also quick question

#

is "Wrath of the Gods" canon?

dusk laurel
#

no

lament lion
#

k

dusk laurel
#

all addons are non-canon

#

since they aren't in the main mod, and also were made by different people usually

lament lion
#

i thought so, but i was screamed at by so many random people other places online XD

cloud ibex
#

Tends to happen

lament lion
#

y'know... when Yharim gets released as a boss, what are they going to do for the temple in pre-existing worlds??????

#

hopefully they can just make a sub-world or smth

cloud ibex
#

Nothing probably considering he has no connection to it

#

He will have his own subworld though

lament lion
#

nice

#

so will the sub-world library mod be used for that?

cloud ibex
lament lion
#

i just realized something

#

I think the devs have entertained the idea of making their own but we’ll see when they get there

Gaiz do y'all think that the terrarian and yharim might be a tad bit similar?

#

That both killed gods

#

Slayed even more powerful monsters

#

And fiends

#

And both can be equally ruthless when it comes to a genocide

sinful adder
#

they can't, actually

#

you are physically incapable of matching even 1% of the destruction yharim caused

#

they ARE similar in other ways, but not that one

#

@faint willow Yharim killed a few thousand gods, the player can only kill two, and one of them was the most evil of any god.
Killing monsters is pretty common, it just means you're strong.
Yharim killed hundreds of millions of people (mostly indirectly), the player can at most kill a hundred or so which were already attacking them, or a few that weren't. Other things they can kill were basically just animals

the player, xeroc, and likely noxus can all beat him

Like
Draedon, noxus, moonlord and xeroc are the only things to maybe be able to do that

even disregarding things like "literally all life" including him and yharon

Does killing all life also mean the other elementals
