long bloom
#

#

i was just clarifying

tropic oak
#

source: we are friends with cei

young socket
#

well ur clarification is wrong

hoary cape
#

The primordial wyrm is not the same as the eidolon wyrms anymore

long bloom
#

why are yall so pedantic

hoary cape
#

Because you are wrong

#

That's not allowed here sorry

long bloom
#

it does not matter

young socket
#

because misconceptions breeds misconceptions

tropic oak
#

its almost like this channel is the most accurate and reliable source of information

paper spindle
#

So did ml get nerfed by the seal by the time he fights us or what?

tropic oak
#

youll ever come across

hoary cape
#

He got weakened in his fight with the dragons

long bloom
tropic oak
#

haha yes the dragons

long bloom
#

tropic oak
#

hoary cape
#

K

tropic oak
#

i was agreeing

long bloom
#

bruh

hoary cape
#

Laughing is a federal crime

paper spindle
#

Well it's not like you can read tone

#

Anywho next question

hoary cape
#

Tone indicators are your friends

paper spindle
#

How did calamitas absorb most of brimstone elemental's power

#

Is that just like a thing she can do?

#

And if so

long bloom
#

she practiced magic before

paper spindle
#

Why hasn't she absorbed more other powerful elementals

long bloom
#

also how do you know that

tropic oak
#

its in the doc

long bloom
#

is it draetalk

#

oh i thought it was patron stuff

tropic oak
#

ur a plaugebringer u dont even have access to the lore channels do u

long bloom
#

i do

tropic oak
#

da fuck

paper spindle
#

I feel like at this point she should've tried absorbing someone like anahita

long bloom
#

wait channels plural

paper spindle
#

Or EoL

tropic oak
#

im still listed as cryogen in there

#

whateverrrrrr

paper spindle
#

Is EoL an elemental?

limpid saddle
tropic oak
#

empress of light is a

#

thing, certainly

long bloom
#

eol is just there

limpid saddle
#

also it seems like it was very specifically a capacity for brimstone

#

It isn't just 'Calamitas can eat elementals'

#

Presumably something to do with her soul & azafurian blood

paper spindle
#

Hmm

limpid saddle
#

Given C.C could also do it, though with a far weaker capacity

paper spindle
#

Okay

#

So what IS EoL?

long bloom
#

she's eol

limpid saddle
#

shes an empress

paper spindle
#

An overpowered butterfly?

limpid saddle
#

of light

long bloom
#

(there's no answer)

paper spindle
#

Well damn

#

She just be like that

long bloom
#

she exists
and can channel primordial light

#

that's all we know

limpid saddle
#

Yeah she's parasitic & very powerful

#

grovels at the feet of whoever holds the domain of primordial light, but doesnt seem to actually serve them

limpid saddle
snow mountain
#

xergock

limpid saddle
#

god of primordial light

limpid saddle
snow mountain
#

i mean xanax

#

xylophone

paper spindle

paper spindle
#

Next question

#

Will we ever encounter an uninfected ( possibly adult ) Astrum Deus?

magic epoch
#

in ur dreams!!!!

paper spindle
#

Oof

limpid saddle
#

what amethyst said

#

no chance

paper spindle
#

Well I guess that makes sense

#

They have no business with us anyway

#

Unless an abnormally large dying star were to form at our very location

#

Wait a minute

#

Xeroc is the god of light right?

long bloom
#

yeag

paper spindle
#

What if?

limpid saddle
#

yeah

long bloom
#

the sun isn't a star

limpid saddle
#

wait

paper spindle
long bloom
#

xeroc only controls the sun

limpid saddle
#

Let him cook

paper spindle
#

What if when he dies his magic cataclysms or something

#

And calls the attention of one of them

#

Because stars are made of mana right?

long bloom
#

ye

magic epoch
#

isn't the sun special

#

and not mana

long bloom
#

also yes

paper spindle
#

Yeah but I'm not talking about the sun

#

I'm talking about xeroc himself

#

I have a feeling this theory is implausible in some way I don't understand yet

#

Alright I'm back with my next question

#

If moonlord is as you guys say just a powerful space alien then are there more of him?

dusk laurel
#

we dont know

paper spindle
#

That's unfortunate

#

I was hoping to fight some moon legs

#

Next question

#

What essence is the Hallow made out of if the evil biomes are bad gods

dusk laurel
#

benevolent gods

paper spindle
#

Damn yharim really killing everyone

#

Next question

#

Since the eclipse is just a regular celestial event then what are the other two (pumpkin and frost moon) in the calamity lore?

tall delta
#

not canon

paper spindle
#

And how does killing DoG buff them?

paper spindle
tall delta
#

yeah

paper spindle
#

That's underwhelming

#

So what's ascendant spirit essence's explanation

dusk laurel
#

its being changed

paper spindle
#

Seems like alot of stuff around DoG is

dusk laurel
#

it may be replaced, it may be just murdered, who knows

long bloom
paper spindle
long bloom
#

all crossover content and obvious references are

magic epoch
#

tax collector isn't canon?????

#

:c

long bloom
#

also yeah endothermic energy and nightmare fuel will be replaced and rethemed

#

to distortion materials

dusk laurel
paper spindle
#

Tax collector is crossover content?

magic epoch
#

(i was making a joke out of the "obvious reference" bit)

magic epoch
paper spindle
#

Okay

#

Next question

#

Do more gods exist that we haven't slain?

long bloom
#

yeah

#

yharim killed like 90% of them but not all

magic epoch
#

xeroc and silva are two that come to mind

long bloom
#

the remaining ones are hiding

paper spindle
#

Are we ever gonna get to them?

long bloom
#

no

magic epoch
#

maybe xeroc

long bloom
#

except xeroc but we won't kill them

paper spindle
magic epoch
paper spindle
#

Wait why?

long bloom
#

the unmatched power of the sun

magic epoch
#

i think it's kinda like a draedon-esque situation

#

where it's less a fight and more a test

#

because i believe xeroc could easily fucking vaporize you

long bloom
#

yeah

#

extremely easily

paper spindle
#

Xeroc blasting me with the sun
Me: mirror

#

Easy win

long bloom
#

the only use for mirror blade

paper spindle
#

Realistically though the heat would melt me

paper spindle
magic epoch
#

it's the sun's light

#

not th sun itself

#

primordial light

long bloom
paper spindle
#

I see you

magic epoch
long bloom
#

Google joke

magic epoch
#

you think I'm going to treat a joke seriously?

#

it's funnier to not

paper spindle
#

Next question

#

Is anahita herself without leviathan on par with brimstone elemental?

#

And where does brimstone elemental at full power scale against anahita with leviathan

#

Is this even a lore question?

#

Where's the power scaling channel?

long bloom
#

this is the power scaling channel

paper spindle
robust osprey
#

I believe every elemental is like close to power

#

except cloud and sand fragmented into a calamillion pieces iirc

#

and they are weaker

#

and well, silva is a goddess

void zealot
#

Homelander vs xeroc

long bloom
#

xeroc

robust osprey
#

uuh

#

what's like

#

homelander's biggest feat

#

I genuinely don't know shit about him

gaunt sluice
#

Afaik

paper spindle
#

Next question

#

Is Xeroc the lizhardian deity?

#

Because sun

gaunt sluice
#

no

#

That's golem

robust osprey
#

golem is a recreation of a god

gaunt sluice
#

And as we've all seen, most of the time golem is incompetent

#

Oh

#

Well close enough

robust osprey
#

a FAILURE recreation

#

but a recreation

robust osprey
#

it's a possibility I think?? not really sure

gaunt sluice
#

Idk how old the Lizhards are

robust osprey
#

a lot probably

gaunt sluice
#

'How old are you'
'A lot'

long bloom
#

many olds

gaunt sluice
#

Cause if they existed before Xeroc then he probably wouldn't be their god?

hoary cape
#

golem is clearly their god

long bloom
#

golem is an idol of the god

magic epoch
#

it's almost like

#

that's the achievement name

long bloom
#

no way

magic epoch
#

lihzahrdian idol!!!

hoary cape
#

i like how they worship the sun despite never seeing it

#

because they only are in their temple

magic epoch
#

they probably have

hoary cape
#

i guess the witch doctor sees it

gaunt sluice
magic epoch
#

in the vanilla credits theres lihzahrds on the surface aren't there

#

bc of the witch doctor scene

hoary cape
#

i mean the witch doctor is one so i guess it works

magic epoch
#

yeah but witch doctor clearly isn't part of the golem worshipping religion

#

so he doesn't count

#

but like doesn't the dryad bring the witch doctor to a group of lihzahrds on the surface

hoary cape
#

i have never seen the credits

#

never fought moon lord ever

magic epoch
#

missing the lore dumps...

#

like the skeleton merchant finding the slap hand in a pile of bones...

#

crazy lore

pliant ruin
#

wow what a Terraria this has been !

gaunt sluice
#

as it turns out the true Calamity was the friends we made along the way

pulsar ocean
#

I'm smart

chrome iris
#

Who is yharim, and what are his motives?

strong notch
hoary cape
#

His motives are kill all the gods

#

And anyone who serves them

chrome iris
chrome iris
hoary cape
#

No you see not all the gods are evil

#

And he burns anyone who associates with them at the stake

strong notch
#

gods are people that consumed auric soul (soul of dragon)

#

because of people trying to become gods dragons went extinct (except for Yharon)

hoary cape
chrome iris
#

So yharim is right?

hoary cape
#

No

limpid saddle
#

somebody bring out the image

hoary cape
#

A few of the gods servants did try and have him killed and yharon may or may not have fed him false info which lead to him going yah they all need to die

spare pier
#

Weekly Lore Discussion conversation of explaining to people why Yharim is not actually right

hoary cape
#

Like if he was only killing evil gods sure

#

But no he didn't care

#

You're a god? Then you die

spare pier
#

Yharim killing the God of Treats who helps orphans and stops deforestation because they killed the Dragon of Sour Candy that hunted children at night

chrome iris
#

He's not completely wrong, but he's not right.

young socket
#

yharim himself said so

hoary cape
#

Well you see the dragon of sour candy was a dear friend of yharon's he had to get revenge somehow /j

chrome iris
hoary cape
#

He isn't right at all

#

He killed innocent people as well just because they associated with God's

chrome iris
#

who is scal in lore

#

Supreme witch calamitas*

#

My corrector corrected it to scal, sorry

hoary cape
#

Scal is correct

#

That's what we call her

spare pier
#

He is as right as people who say "I think we should kill all killers" and then proceeds to also kill their families and friends too and also people with ASPD because yeah

chrome iris
strong notch
#

As a child recruited by Yharim and used as living weapon

chrome iris
spare pier
#

No

spare pier
#

The baby born in Ilmeris doesn't have shit to do with the Gods

chrome iris
spare pier
#

But he's going to die too because Yharim said so

hoary cape
#

Yharim when he sees a baby who doesn't have a choice about being born there: Burn them

strong notch
young socket
hoary cape
#

Yep

#

Also yharim loves bees so clearly he is a good guy right??? Also no slavery. He doesn't like that

untold oracle
spare pier
#

The thousands of people Providence captured and turned into slaves? Yeah they're bad too kill them all

gaunt sluice
hoary cape
#

Just because he killed some gods who were evil doesn't nullify all the others he killed that weren't or the innocent families that just lived in cities that had those gods as their religions

spare pier
#

His ideology was never "kill all evil Gods"

chrome iris
untold oracle
#

We must kill half of the world because there’s approximately 20 gods most people consider evil

young socket
#

im clarifying that killers arent JUST "extremely bad murderers"

spare pier
#

It has always been "butcher them all and everyone associated with them"

chrome iris
hoary cape
#

In his mind all gods took their auric souls by force and because of that they needed to die

#

He is pro dragon

#

Took it to the extreme

gaunt sluice
#

you support the gods and therefore must die

#

yeesus

#

modern politics vibes

untold oracle
#

Strongest yhapaganda coper vs weakest silva and xeroc truther

hoary cape
#

Yharon didn't help the situation

#

When did yharon even die originally. Did fovos kill him or die he die after?

young socket
spare pier
untold oracle
#

I think that yharon was killed multiple times throughout the centuries until finally some person realised how to get the egg

spare pier
#

But there's going to be an answer of who killed him the last time

chrome iris
#

Is there any Boss that we kill in the game that is good in the Lore?

#

Or everyone is evil

hoary cape
#

I mean some of them are just beasts

strong notch
hoary cape
#

Both the scourges aren't evil they are just beasts who you stumble upon

chrome iris
hoary cape
#

Well provi is definitely evil

untold oracle
#

AS especially is just a chill guy

hoary cape
#

Slime god i am not sure

untold oracle
#

Slime god is neutral i think

hoary cape
#

Slime god is probably just mad you kill it's friends

untold oracle
#

Femboy so they have to be a good guy

hoary cape
#

The slimes

#

Probably it's Providence

pliant ruin
#

yharim is john "genocide is bad guys.... except when i do it then its cool and awesome im the good guy btw"

spare pier
#

I think everyone would kill anyone affiliated with Providence given the chance

#

In any case I just couldn't think of a better example

hoary cape
#

I would kill provi if I could ever get to that point πŸ˜‚

spare pier
#

Yharim still kills a bunch of people who are just

#

There

limpid saddle
#

is it like a brainwashed slave situation or are they as equally unwilling & people just hate them anyway

hoary cape
#

Yharim waged war on illmeris for no reason. Poor fish people

limpid saddle
hoary cape
#

Well yes the two gods

#

But that's not valid

limpid saddle
#

& their names are Ontonilou & the other one i forgot

dusk laurel
#

tyrian

limpid saddle
#

yeah i never remember his name

hoary cape
#

Are they good πŸ€”

#

Not that that justifies boiling the kingdom

dusk laurel
limpid saddle
#

this is a metaphor for how the god's legacies, good or evil are lost to time in Yharim's sweeping devastation of everything

hoary cape
#

Yharon told him the gods are bad also

#

Yharon is just mad all his friends are dead

Deltarune though

mighty zenith

You respawn in the game, but you die irl

young socket
hoary cape

Still dead irl

mighty zenith

who cares about irl im in fucking DELTARUNE!!!!!!!!!

hoary cape
#

It's like that one VR headset that's got like electrical shock things that kill you when you die in the game

split mortar
#

Honestly always saw prime moonlord as close to the limit of what the ingame terrarian could get a win on and it would be a uphill battle

hoary cape
#

Prime moon lord when people say that only prime moon lord is fovos: 😭

pulsar ocean
#

Why did moonlord need a 2nd fake name

split mortar
#

To evade taxes

hoary cape
#

He didn't

#

That's just the name fovos was given because fovos lived on the moon due to being trapped there, so obviously it is the Lord of the moon

pulsar ocean
#

Why Lord of the moon if he's imprisoned there

split mortar
#

No one else there to claim ownership

Wonder how much the property tax is

pulsar ocean
#

How much for rent on the moon

limpid saddle
#

3000 a month a 12 square inch cube

hoary cape
#

The IRS coming after moon lord for his taxes, but he just eats them

Even fovos hates the tax collector

Everything in Cal is magical to some extent so the argument for it being more versatile falls flat

# spring helm how come calclone needs a life support machine

"Though the clone was a technical success, it showed no signs of being able to wield Calamitas' signature magic.

...security reports indicated that Calamitas herself broke into the laboratory that the clone was stored in and released it."
-Draedon, The Brimstone Witch

wooden shadow
#

How big is the Dragon Cult?

spring helm
#

how does this explain why she needs life support

cosmic zenith
spring helm
#

i think it would be interesting if it predated the dragons becoming auric

#

i'd think that the dragons already had a form of society before receiving their domains

unless it was the act of becoming auric that granted them sapience

spring helm
#

considering how powerful non-auric dragons are, if they did have a form of society (or even multiple since they are their own individuals after all) i think it would be only natural that some of the weaker races would worship them, like how there are those who deify Astrum Deus

plucky juniper
cosmic zenith
#

You can already answer that yourself, as all established races are public
There are, however, factions that haven't been explored
I'd suggest taking a close look at the Hadean Wilds: Part 1 video, whenever that comes out

the style change brtween the arms and body is quite jarring

snow mountain
eager bluff
#

no there is a style change

snow mountain
#

clarify

eager bluff
#

the arms were iirc not made by the same person who made the body and looking at the highlights and shadows there is a major difference between arms and body

limpid saddle
#

There are some subtle tells like the arms being generally a bit brighter & having a constant flow of colour from the exo prisms compared to the chests pulsing

random mulch

#

Why didn't ares get legs

snow mountain

#

oh crumbs i forgot

#

tbh i like thanatos the least

#

most unremarkable/boring tbh

#

the design is alright but it doesn't do anything with the worm

#

tbf its cal, why should i expect anything else?

pliant ruin
#

my least favorites are probably apollo and artemis, i don't care much about them
ares is objectively the most well designed i think

real silo
#

I like twinzos because I'm a sucker for sci fi fighter jets

#

I also like thanatos because he has thrusters

pliant ruin
# snow mountain tbf its cal, why should i expect anything else?

Also it's pretty lame to keep doing this sort of comment that isn't really helpful to anyone and is just kind of mean spirited over and over again, Reb already seemed pretty upset over the same sort of behavior earlier and it dosen't really come off as constructive critique or sharing alternative takes on things, it's just kind of mean

real silo
#

In conclusion I just really like thrusters in designs

pliant ruin
#

i just don't really care much about eye creatures

deus is i think the one cal worm boss that should be de-wormed in my personal opinion i think

it dosen't have much of a reason to be a worm and cal already has 2 other spacey cosmic themed worms

fuck storm weaver

pliant ruin
#

idk whats going on with storm weaver ngl

#

we know like nothing about the guy

mighty zenith

deus is a boss i think should be redesigned and dewormified

real silo
#

Lil boye

mighty zenith
#

weaver is a boss that could honestly be removed

#

and not much would change

random mulch
#

honestly i think thanatos' design makes sense

pliant ruin
#

i abstain from saying that given his fight is yet to be updated and , again, we know nothing about the guy

#

i think thanatos's design does a good job at being what it is

#

which is just

random mulch
#

it's meant to be an upgrade to the destroyer, of course it would look at least a bit like it

pliant ruin
#

destroyer 2 electric boogaloo

#

yeah

snow mountain
pliant ruin
#

i mean again, i reckon all of those are being updated, so i'm abstaining from commenting on its current state

#

not much of its lore was revealed, and it still has a fairly old fight and sprite

#

as it stands its pretty boring rn though

#

but signus also has a dogshit fight and he's one of the most potentially interesting bosses i think

snow mountain

all mods ive worked on have had an open development process cus kitchen sink

not with that attitude

Isn't it just cloth

the animations seem pretty complex yea

suprised he hasn't been poached by cal to be a sheet slave

Maybe Signus won't take as long since that neutral standing animation & the sword summoning one are finished

dusk laurel

depends when they decide to rework signus

snow mountain

yeah i doubt having 2 animations means its anywhere near being finished

specially for a boss

still more progress on it than yharon though 😭

if i kissed ceaseless, would i be kissing noxus by proxy?

"Calamity doesn't have any interesting side plots, everything is Gods or Dragons or Yharim"

i wonder if the storm weaver will weave storms & leave devastation in it's wake

but yeah you guys have been working really hard

especially with how you pop in to ask about structures & stuff it's really cool to see you're working on the more subtle stuff like that

wheat walrus

true but seahorse girls lay eggs, and the boy seahorse just holds onto them, so it just kinda looks like they're giving birth when they're not actually

Illmerians would likely have more sophisticated incubation methods than having the boys carry the eggs all the time

They cannot decide if they think Calamity takes itself too seriously or too unserious

fierce pagoda
#

ahh, those unsophisticated apes at the Terraria Discord...

#

No but really, it seems like people who only play vanilla terraira disproportionately hate on Calamity mod

#

Maybe they dislike calamity because of the context and history surrounding it, rather than the gameplay and content?

#

but no, since many criticize it for its changes being either too hard or anti-fun

#

or maybe I'm the one generalizing based on a vocal minority!

Bc he mentions smthn about wings in the first lore item

i like to think he has drew's wings

i don't think there's an actual answer tho

he probably does have wings in his accessory slots though

why would wings be needed

ITS REALLY COOL THOUGH

we have flying pets

so why do we use wings?

we're the auric dragon of flight ig

Personally I’m on the side of he doesn’t have wings and the way he’ll catch up with you in the air is he fuckin jumps at the speed of sound

yharim doesnt need wings cuz hes just better

Genuine lore question that I'm stumped at, is Fovos in his prime stronger than Xeroc is right now or would it be more even

sinful adder
#

barely

#

Xeroc would win but would need to be at his best

robust osprey
#

literally the unmatcheable power of the sun

trim peak
#

Yeah I can believe that. It's a testament to how busted Moon Lord was in his prime

#

I mean considering Providence is just barely stronger than the husk of Fovos that says a lot

hoary cape
#

I think it's stated that fovos might win like 1/10 fights or something

#

But generally speaking that requires a lot of luck on his part

spare pier
#

I'm of the opinion that Moon Lord vs Xeroc is basically just Luffy vs Kaido

#

Yes, Moon Lord makes Xeroc sweat and work for the win

#

But unless there is some heavy outside interference and some bullshit adde on top

#

Moon Lord is never winning

but like folly wouldn't defeat moonlord probably

but that's beacuse folly is tupid

and would attack the whole body instead of the eyes

spare pier
#

Eh I very much think both Guardians and Folly fall a bit short of Moon Lord

#

Well ok maybe not Guardians

#

Given they have

#

A pretty signifcant advantage in the numbers

clever raft

#

Moonlord actively steals ur health and heals himsef wires

thats the only comparation i could think of

Both of those comparisons are "one of the two die horribly"

cuz is what probably would happen

#

ig

spare pier
#

Yharim vs Moon Lord is like

#

Yeah Yharim can fight but would be on the backfoot all the time and have no real chance at winning

clever raft
#

for some reason that got me thinking how the scale is like yharim<moonlord<noxus<xeroc

#

so i imagined an army of yharims vs xeroc

robust osprey
#

change noxus and moonlord

#

and you're accurate

clever raft
#

really?

robust osprey
#

yeah I think they're like really close but moonlord wins

clever raft
#

tought noxus was like really powerfull, like in destructive power even bigger than xeroc

robust osprey
#

that's true

#

but the difference is like minimum between the 3

long bloom
#

i'm also pretty sure ml is stronger than noxus

clever raft
#

this is a big reveal for me

#

Rebbecca i just read you are also lore writter of catalyst wich i like all of that astral expansion in everything including lore, do you consider the catalyst lore canon? cuz its a different mod obv

it isnt canon

If we’re talkin Fovos, Noxus and Xeroc what’s the best estimate for these two then, seeing as they come from a somewhat modified and separate continuity

real silo
#

Both of these are capital G gods so they're wayy above xeroc

trim peak
#

Really?? ND sure seeing as he’s based off of old Xeroc and is basically just the supreme being of everything

pliant ruin
#

Avatar is just a equivalent to ND from a universe that suffered from heat death

trim peak
#

But I’d figure at least the Avatar would probably be even to Fovos or Noxus. Definitely stronger than Yharim and anything before tho

pliant ruin
#

they're more or less the same

trim peak
#

Wow. That’s awesome

#

I guess it makes sense. The more you know

crimson junco
#

isn't Cal old lore power scaling is like supreme level max of the universe

#

so those 2 are probably at a higher level

pliant ruin
#

They don't follow old lore

#

They're just vaguely based of it

crimson junco
#

not the same power scaling, got it

pliant ruin
#

Nameless is inspired of old lore xeroc but isn't old lore xeroc, Nameless is a manifestation of the universe itself, more or less omnipotent with the only real way of it dying being the universe itself dying

#

Avatar is a similar type of entity except it's universe died because Heat Death and so it's really fucking lonely and sad

crimson junco
#

ye... probably stronger than Xeroc

pliant ruin
#

it attempts to take over Nameless's place because it wants to not be Lonely and Sad

pliant ruin
trim peak
#

While not 100% concrete in terms of feats/powerscaling the implications both of their boss fights give off put them on a level nothing in current Calamity is even capable of

trim peak
pliant ruin
#

Yet another reason as to why people thinking Nameless is Xeroc is very unfortunate is that the actual lore of WOTG and Nameless as a separate concept is very interesting and people miss out on it because of that

#

Curse thee, clickbait titles

trim peak
#

The fact people still make that correlation kind of perplexes me because it should be common knowledge at this point

cloud ibex
#

maybe WotG being separated from cal will help in that aspect

real silo
#

First impressions last way longer than they should

trim peak
#

It’s so much better that they’re separate entities with only being subtly based off of old lore beats. Kinda sucks if the misconception is still present to this day

real silo
trim peak
#

My first exposure to ND wasn’t even under the impression it was a Calamity-related mod, I deadass thought it was a joke mod

real silo
#

It uses draedon and permafrost stuff doesn't it

solar wharf
#

well that was anticlimactic

real silo
#

you're anticliducktic

solar wharf
trim peak
solar wharf
#

now that's very climactic

trim peak
#

But like, there’s also XG Mars and Permafrost’s lair to take into consideration. Draedon especially acting as a big caveat

real silo
#

Also won't they have to rebalance the fight a lot

#

Idk

trim peak
#

Yeah, or they’d have to establish like a small handful of post-moon lord content and bosses to work up to that point if they keep it as is

#

I think WOTG being an optional addition to Calamity, almost like an AU is pretty fire. Seeing people make unofficial yet very creative additions to the mod serves as nice appetizers or even full on entrees to quell our interests while we wait for the official stuff to come out

besides, wotg is being overhauled so

#

i think it'll be fine

where did u guys find the bits of the lore?

#

i wanna read the whole thing on a timeline

pliant ruin
#

There isn't a timeline i don't think but there's a doc on pins with most of the currently publicly available loe

#

ingame it's conveyed through the whispers you get after killing bosses, dialogue with npcs (Including Draedon), bestiary, item tooltips, and some dedicated lore things such as the entries in draedon's labs

Soaring Insignia is arguably the single best accessory in Vanilla Terraria and Ironically it's not even because of the infinite flight time

It's because it basically makes you twice as fast on top of that
