Yeah but then they wouldn't bleed which isn't as metal.

Horn cuts would be cute

What?

Oh.

#

I was asking about this ages ago.

#

Calamitas going to the Stylist to get her horns trimmed

wanton pendant

Do you think horns had some kind of cultural importance?

maybe

Do you think Yharim colonized anyone?

#

just

#

obliterated

#

the one good trait he has is that he doesn't wanna directly take one's freedom

#

he'll be manipulative, he'll destroy those he hates

wheat walrus
#

but not take their freedom like that

wheat walrus
#

since

#

killing and manipulating is taking freedom away in forms

#

but

wanton pendant
#

Like Calamitas very much had her freedom taken, but she totally wasn't a slave, legally.

wheat walrus
#

yea

#

His men could leave whenever they wanted, on pain of death.

either manipulation, or

wanton pendant
#

He wouldn't have someone in physical chains.

#

Chains of any other nature are fair game.

wheat walrus
#

it's either emotional chains or beats you to death

wanton pendant
#

I'd argue not wanting to die is an emotional chain.

So I'm wondering, Calamitas is supposed to be scared of Yharim, right, petrified of the guy. The thing is to my knowledge apart from him generally being strong and convincing her to do horrible things I'm not entirely sure there's a specific reason for her to be THAT scared. I feel like there was another event that we don't yet know about that would cement her as being terrified of him, rather then just deeply resenful.

wheat walrus
#

im not sure if he'd petrify her anymore

brazen swallow
#

we don't know how yharim acts when he's mad I think
or what he's capable of specifically

icy veldt
#

Aside from causing her emotional trauma, she might also be worried that he'll kill her just as he ordered her to kill Perm

wheat walrus
#

after all

#

we did because our actions made her think of him

wanton pendant
wheat walrus
#

and that reaction was going as far as to try and eradicate us

wanton pendant
wheat walrus
#

im so tuff

brazen swallow
#

what is even that

wanton pendant
#

Anyway, my general theory was that Calamitas tried to say no to killing Permafrost, and the result of that is why she's so scared of him. But that's just a theory.

# split mortar Whats with you and cat providence

It just makes sense to me. Provy is manipulative, worming her way into the minds of the weak-willed. Similarly, humans don't have pet cats, cats have pet humans. So it absolutely makes sense that Provy would take on a catlike appearance as one of her tactics for convincing people to serve her, before going back to rockterfly when she's done

Cats don't brainwash people. She should become a mindflaying abomination.

So, if Terraria's sun isn't a normal sun, would Superman be nerfed if he was there?

Superman is a plant?

And if all the stars are mana, then there are no regular suns for him to get strength from. Superman would struggle in Calamity.

That's all iterations. Unless there's some obscure one.

distant smelt
#

Yeah thats like the main thing
Kryptonians dont have powers until they get fueled by a yellow sun, usually earth’s

And since Terraria has a magic sun, and all the stars are made of mana, he's screwed.

In gameplay, twice earths.

#

But in the lore... uh...

cloud ibex
wanton pendant
#

Because when you factor how fast a day is, uh...

cloud ibex
#

I thought there was a whole Thing about his powers possibly not working when the big fuck off space beam thing was increasing the planet’s gravity towards the end of the movie

cloud ibex
wanton pendant
#

I didn't watch the movie, but I saw yesterday a screenshot from it where they explicitly say he gets power from the sun, like every other version.

wanton pendant
cloud ibex
#

Would be really weird if days lasting 24 minutes was a thing that just never gets mentioned or elaborated upon ever

split mortar
wanton pendant
#

And so the fall speed would being twice ours, but then you factor the time scale, not gravity is super slow.

#

I know it's a gameplay thing. I'm saying things like that aren't accurate to the in-universe versions. So time is faster and gravity is stronger for gameplay reasons.

#

So if the Terrarian falls at 37.5 tiles per second, but a second in game is one minute, that means they are falling at a speed of 0.625 tiles per second. I think it's safe to say that isn't accurate to the reality.

wanton pendant
#

Theory: The Moon has some kind of anti-primordial light properties and somehow can actively make the world worse. It's somewhat kept in check by the light of the sun, but when the light of the sun can't reach it, such as during a Lunar Eclipse, the world gets more dangerous. This could also justify why Xeroc never simply finished off Moon Lord after becoming a god, the moon somehow repels them.

long bloom
#

very interesting

wanton pendant
#

'Cause I was thinking 'Why doesn't Xeroc kill Moon Lord after becoming a god, he seems like exactly the kind of threat they should be dealing with' so the obvious answer is the moon prevents this, somehow. And similarly, explains why Blood Moons are so dangerous, the protective light of the sun can't reach the moon, so it makes stuff worse. Moon's haunted.

just for clarification bc i'm already typing it: dedicated content and blatant references aren't canon, as well as crossover content and the seasonal moons

And two dedicated items involving a 'son of Yharon'.

The second 'son' isn't a dedicated item, but is instead a McDonalds reference.

I do wonder how auric souls and auric ore are related on an energy level

I doubt it'd be easily done

split mortar

I mean

#

it does but I doubt even yharon could do it alone

#

that seems like something draedon would try to work on

#

also yharim does talk about the return of the age of the dragons

long bloom
#

yeah what did he mean by that

light linden
#

if given the chance I'd imagine he would do anything to make another auric soul

split mortar
#

I just presumed it means put yharon in charge of the world
But thats quite a bit shaky
Idk

light linden
#

yeah idt that's yharim's goal

#

personally I'm still of the opinion that at least some of the godly essence could be turned into something like an auric soul

#

at least for xeroc and silva since they perfectly ascended

#

I don't think all the energy of an auric soul could just vanish like that

The age of dragons and gods is over. The age of men has begun.

The age of melon gun and lea channel is over. The age of stone phone has begun.

I feel like yharim would at the very least try to filter all the essences forming the hallow, crimson, and corruption

#

Why: A god said so.
How: God shenanigans.

pliant ruin
#

Exotic Resonance is the Self-Sustaining Resonace of Particles that is found only in Exo Prisms and thus is not a thing Sea Prisms do

split mortar
#

I wouldnt say making a new property (exotic resonance) is just amplifying the sea prisms properties

pliant ruin
#

Draedon specifically refers to the thing the Exo Prisms do as Exotic Resonance

long bloom
#

it is tho

pliant ruin
#

they're called Exotic Resonance not Sea Prism Resonance

wanton pendant
#

Presumably it's a side effect of however Draedon is over clocking the Prisms.

long bloom
#

exotic resonance is just sea prism electricity amplified by microscopic electronic circuits carved into it

wheat walrus
#

the indefinite mechanism comes from sea prisms

#

The Ilmeran crystals that you know as "Sea Prisms" are self-illuminating and provide a weak electric charge indefinitely, even when tapped by circuitry. Etching the crystals with conduction pathways at the molecular level and providing an initial energy impulse, not unlike igniting a newborn star, transforms them into a facsimile of the Exo Prisms you are familiar with.

Exo Prisms emit a self-sustaining resonance of particles that is unlike any other phenomena I have observed. I dubbed this Exotic Resonance, and it is the breakthrough that the rest of exotechnology is named for. Exotic resonance remains present no matter how much energy is drawn from it, amplifying the intrinsic properties of the Sea Prisms far beyond my expectations. The sheer abundance of energy produced via exotic resonance allows a sufficient quantity of Exo Prisms to power any device, no matter the size or complexity.

wanton pendant
#

Infinite faster.

long bloom
#

wheat walrus
#

they provide a weak but indefinite charge and are self-illuminating, which is effectively limitless energy

exo-prisms are enhanced, and i assume exotic resonance is basically an enhanced version of whichever process the sea prisms use for their indefinite charge

wanton pendant
#

He uses Sea Prisms for his RGB lights.

long bloom
#

true

young socket
#

i love how everyone here is forgetting the "breaks up matter" part of exotic resonance

wheat walrus
#

The particles contained within Exotic Resonance are capable of breaking down nearby matter when exposed to enough external energy. You have already experienced this phenomenon whilst fighting against my machines. The power surges from the ongoing battle caused some of the Exo Prisms within to actuate, melting down some of the internal components into an unstable slurry of this so-called Miracle Matter. The altered resonance enhanced their attacks with a prismatic blight that disintegrates anything, organic or otherwise.

#

for reference

#

uhh

wanton pendant
#

It melts into even stronger stuff Exo Prims are just weird.

wheat walrus
#

yes

exotic resonance can break down matter and meld it back, creating miracle matter

On the topic of elementals, we know that to kill one you need to destroy their element, but does this extend only to terraria planet or also outer space? For example astrum deus should count as Nature

astrum deus is just astrum deus

the terrarian is also a bad person but this is just a vanilla thing

its also generally my idea to fight most bosses with my friends and then we end up dying

is the devourer of gods a god?

pliant ruin

nah

wanton pendant

No.

pliant ruin

he does devour them though

vast cosmos

Huh

pliant ruin
#

If he was a god Yharim would never work with him

How'd he get that strong

wanton pendant
#

He ate gods.

pliant ruin
#

How'd you get that strong

#

or yharim

#

or supreme calamitas

#

or like most of the insanely strong bosses and characters that aren't gods

wanton pendant
#

Calamitas was doping Brimstone magic.

vast cosmos
#

fair enough

wanton pendant
#

Yharim replaced his blood with testosterone.

vast cosmos

i remember dog has some fishing rod that says "the devourer of cods was once an eater of shoals" or something

And the Terrarian does meth XD

That's a fishing rod.

pliant ruin
#

Devourer of Gods is just fucked up alien worm from another dimension that has a severe superiority complex

vast cosmos
#

how do you even define a god

#

What makes something a god

wanton pendant
#

Someone who ascends with an auric soul.

pliant ruin
#

In the context of calamity, someone who absorbed an auric soul and ascended

wanton pendant
#

No other definition.

vast cosmos
#

gotcha

wanton pendant
#

Nothing else qualifies.

#

No matter if it is mistaken for one or insists otherwise.

icy veldt
#

Which makes Astrum Deus a misnomer, as well as incorrect Latin

wanton pendant
#

As some people are quick to point out.

pliant ruin
#

I'd believe the word "God" might've been coined prior in the world of calamity

icy veldt
#

Huh?

#

No way

#

Ohhhh wait

vast cosmos
#

are most bosses gods

wanton pendant
cloud ibex
#

Some are

wanton pendant
#

Only, like, three. And one is a zombie.

pliant ruin
#

But much like how "Gay" is a term nobody uses for Happy anymore and only uses for Homosexual the word God would've become so widely spread as Person Who Ascended With An Auric Soul that basically nobody would use it for other meanings

vast cosmos
#

May i ask which three

pliant ruin
#

Providence, Slime God, Ravager, Arguably Evil2

wanton pendant
#

Slime God/Queen Slime, Providence, Ravager.

pliant ruin
#

Evil2 don't really show right now though

icy veldt
#

I thought you said "prior to the world of calamity" implying that the word "god" existed before the Calamity mod

pliant ruin
#

Because the bosses haven't gotten their due tier change and rework yet

cloud ibex
#

SG, providence, ravager, evil2s might count depending on how you look at it

wanton pendant
#

No Calamity made up the word.

wanton pendant
#

Evil 2 are god corpses.

#

Ravager is zombie god.

#

Not God of Zombies.

distant smelt
#

i love lore channel
we know our shit decently well but good luck stumbling into a convo actually talking about it
horrible example right now becuase we are surprisingly on track but still

pliant ruin
#

I'd say Evil2 kind of counts in the same way ravager does tbh, albeit its arguable because they're amalgamations of different gods with a single "main" god at their core over ravager whos just. a single guy

pliant ruin
distant smelt
#

this is incredibly valid

vast cosmos
wanton pendant
#

I mean, Ravager is mostly intact, evil2 are literally just gore pulled together by their shared power.

pliant ruin

A bit of silliness is fine but when it overpowers the rest it just gets frustrating

Yharon and Yharim are best friends more or less

#

And they share a bond.

vast cosmos

wanton pendant
#

So Yharim doesn't get microwaved in his armour.

pliant ruin
#

Yharon is the last auric dragon, Yharim is someone who's fighting to avenge the Auric Dragons, in his eyes

distant smelt

he should
i think he deserves to get auric springlocked

vast cosmos

OHHHH

#

THATS HIS MOTIVE

distant smelt
#

yes

wanton pendant
split mortar
#

Yharim the racist

vast cosmos
#

That makes way more sense

pliant ruin
#

They're the leads of the crusade, best friends and have a bond quite literally so strong that their souls are linked

vast cosmos
distant smelt
#

tbf we just said he wanted to kill gods
not why

wanton pendant
distant smelt
#

i think

vast cosmos
pliant ruin
#

He wants to kill all gods (All, regardless of the nuance or context of the Gods's ascencion or whether they're good people or not) because in his eyes they're All Bad

frosty charm
#

How common knowledge is the age of dragons

pliant ruin
#

As i've said many times when explaining to others who are new at this

wanton pendant
#

He's racist towards gods, lizard people and anyone who is religious.

distant smelt
#

apparently not very until yharim started spouting off about it

wanton pendant
pliant ruin
#

Yharim's biggest failure is that he's so deeply ingrained into his own ideology he reaches a point where he deludes himself into fully believing hes right even when everyone tells him otherwise

wanton pendant
#

Since the layman wouldn't know how to ascend.

frosty charm
#

even people outside of the heartlands?

wanton pendant
#

Yharim's reach extended the world mostly.

pliant ruin
#

I think the fact Dragons existed would probably be known the same way we know Dinosaurs existed but the details of it would be sparse

#

Considering that

frosty charm
#

alr

pliant ruin
#

Dragons can't even speak the same language as most people do

wanton pendant
#

Like, people knew there were dragons, but not why there aren't anymore.

pliant ruin
#

I wonder how many even knw they were like

#

sapient beings

#

with societies and shit

#

Actually from the Gorthus QnA we got a while ago

#

Pretty sure it implies

split mortar
#

Probably a bunch given chrysadia

pliant ruin
#

That atleast a good few people thought they were just animals

wanton pendant
#

And the gods likely covered their hunts up because that would make them look bad.

pliant ruin
#

I mean

#

Dunno if i'd say that

#

It's generalizing a bit

#

Some definitely would tho

#

I never like reffering to either Dragons or Gods as a collective in this sort of context

wanton pendant
#

Regardless, the only ones who know how to ascend are the gods and Yharim, most likely.

pliant ruin
#

because it ends up generalizing

distant smelt
#

tbf if i heard that someone absorbed the immortal soul of another creature for nebulous reasons i would probably be pretty miffed about it

wanton pendant
#

Especially if your new best friend was one of those creatures.

pliant ruin
#

Yharim had like valid reasons to be angry then. I mean he's hearing from the Dragon who saved him about how Gods killed all his people and he was almost killed by likely the only gods he had experiences with at the time, which were, well

#

scumbags

#

The problem comes down to him never learning and being stuck in that mindset since then

vast cosmos
#

when the devourer eats a god does the auric soul just. disappear

wanton pendant
#

Gods don't have auric souls.

pliant ruin
#

Gods don't have auric souls

#

Not anymore, anyways

wanton pendant
#

Too slow.

split mortar
#

God souls like turn to essence

#

Basically breaks monster undertale afaik

wanton pendant
pliant ruin
#

When a god absorbs an Auric soul their soul gets mixed with the Auric soul, essentially making a new thing

pliant ruin
#

There's no going back for the dragon

#

Otherwise, when a god was killed, Yharon would've been able to just, revive the dragon

distant smelt
#

probably

vast cosmos
split mortar
wanton pendant
#

God souls are like, the third form of the souls at that point.

distant smelt
pliant ruin
# vast cosmos but if something were to absorb that soul it wouldn't be a god?

The souls of gods are already far too unstable due to essentially being the result of compacting two souls in one, so when they die, as the other said, it just dissipates into divine essence. This divine essence can influence the enviroment around it and stuff like the evil biomes is created by that sort of thing

'World Soul' -> Auric Souls -> Godly Souls.

And many of them weren't like super powerful, Yharon is indicated to be an exception.

pliant ruin

tbf pokemon legendaries tend to be like

actually just gods

so i think the elder dragon comparison works better

It depends for Pokémon.

One of them is literally just God.

And then there's Diancie.

It depends yeah some of them like the birds are just

yep. really strong bird

Legendary Birds are literally just strong, rare birds.

but then you get stuff like the weather trio or the creation trio or arceus and its just
