Three, you're Polterghast now.
Would be a cool boss in a future update. "The Shattered Divinity" or something
Four, how?
We already have Polterghast and Evil2.
four you become a photorealistic human being that exists inside of terraria
no you just straight up turn into crackhead polterghast
Oh hey sunstorm
hi
Piss polter
clearly the sludge..
What if you were already a crackhead before ascending?
god of cocaine
god of cocaine
Providence.
DANG IT
bro.
Ultra crackhead
Accurate
same braincell 🤝
could you snort an auric soul if you tried hard enough
New objective: get Provi re-addicted to crack
Probably not.
yharon soul fragment smarties
A shard of yharons soul is like the size of your head
Well....
they didn't say snort to ascend
Gonna need onepiece levels of fuckery to do that
The butt?
just snort in general
exactly what if they’re just snorting the soul for the love of the game
I mean if you ground it up into a fine dust then sure
also for all we know it could be snorting the soul is the ascension ritual
precisely
What kind of Dogma is this?
How high can you get by smoking an auric soul
Wait how does one turn a soul into snortable powder
xeroc snorts dragon confirmed???
Lore coherent question
A soul can't be cut... So...?
yharon soul fragment
Yharon soul shart
Just do whatever that is but smaller
Yharon Soul Slice.
Depends on the soul
Turn the soul fragment into a miniature yharon and kill it too
Dragon of Psychoactive Chemicals...
infinite size glitch
yumm
If its the soul of weed then you are gonna ascend into godhood a new way
Okay important lore question
god of gas station weed
Where is the god of cocaine in calamity
Dead, probably.
Was there a dragon of cocaine
Silva
If there was a god of it, then probably not.
We all saw that.
NOOOOOOOO!!
There would have to be for a god of it to exist
Not exactly
Not how that works.
Ik but there would have to be a dragon representing something similar
So not cocaine.
Drugs
Dragon of Meth.
there had to have been a dragon of alcohol even if drug dragons are out of the question
And the dragon is just entirely blue crystals
Oh no.
hi its me
this guy knows a thing or two about blue crystals
dragon of alcohol
Dragon of hand sanitizer -> god of drunkenness
yepp
You are not using hand sanitizer correctly.
No, I am. It's everyone else that's wrong
I think the best way of absorbing an auric soul is to apply it like steroids
i thought you injected steroids
Yep
oh
good grief
What
didn’t mean for that
Please don't do that.
The fuck was that image
Where are you getting those?
i’m stealing those
Who?
Garmin
Who?
German?
See draedon is autistic
Fuck you waterwraith
It's obviously a misspelling!
What the hell did I do??
Say fusing bees with nukes isnt a autism symptom
It's not!
Its like house with mouse bites
If I had nukes, I'd totally strap them to bees as well
They are connected
Idk ill trust the creator of autism has autism symptoms
Calamity is cannon on House M.D
I wouldn't, that guy was crazy.
true
That last one's probably referring to an upgrade, tbh
This may be cannon guys
How can a Calamity fan laugh at this? It has too much writing.
that’s what my player is after it’s canon as far as i’m concerned
dragon's
I wonder how a pro yharim terrarian would affect the world
Calamitas would probably die. :(
Actually speaking of why did calamitas get spared by us?
Objectively worse gameplay if you kill her probably
Because the current version of the mod assumes you're not Yharim 2 I think. I think a Dev mentioned you'll be able to bully her or something.
This sounds good
Horrible thing to say.
Like, theoretically due to how the Terrarian is you works, being able to kill Calamitas as an option makes sense.
what if all yharim needed was a good nap
Unreasonable.
Gonna give him one
A dirt nap
wooden pajamas is a new one thats good
This also sounds good
i dont think that would be very comfortable
sounds quite heavy
But hes using auric tesla armor
And thats probably heavier
Is a killogramme of steel heavier than a killogramme of feathers?
No. The feathers are heavier, including the emotional weight of what you did to all those chickens
It would also work if your Terrarian is completely unforgiving
Instead of being Yharim 2
Like if the Terrarian decides "you attacked me, so you die, no matter how you try to excuse it"
Not. Cool.
dude my ifunny account when i was in like 7th grade was so lit
okay
im 5 METERS TALL !!
i was born yesterday
5 meters tall haha got them
ur the youngest prrson ever
im dinosaurusu raaargh
i can get u banned now btw
i didnt say age though ...
him exclusively
Cheese the elder
discord is stupid
I am -1
I ❤️ being completely unforgiving! 💪😎
Goodbye melon and cheese
But then who will forgive you?
Discord gonna believe i was born tomorrow damn
Not necessary
I prefer apples and milk anyways
What the fuck
Pilk
pilk is not that bad
Wtf
labubu pilk party
Out.
it tastes like a spider
or an ice cream float
whatever u guys call them
coke and ice cream
A spider?!
Why are you eating spiders?
im sorry you call them spiders
also true
australian term
of course it is
Nuh uh
yea good one haha
opinions on 100% pure dark choc
Oh, where they have Golden Gaytimes.
anyway thats what they taste like
Australia can't be real if it does that!
best ice cream oat
dark chocolate is yuck
Gaytimes?
Needs meth in it
what abt 100% pure dark
idk bout 100%
Tank chocolate
Golden ones, even.
everyone talks about australia spiders but nobody talks about the humble australian fiddler beetle
i dont think ive ever had 100%
Panzerschokolade
ur insane
Drop bears 
I'm fine w normal dark I like it but 100% pure dark was traumatizing it took me 3 minutes to get 1 bite in and I couldn't continue afterwards
im not a big chocolate person in general i eat like 1 hershey bar per year
How far in progression does a unthinkably large swarm of 100 glutton bugs get in calamity
molten car tire sauted in acid and uranium
Not even funny, I watched a Drop Bear tear someone's face off once!
can 100 raccoons beat eye of chtulhu do u think
i dont think they could
So you don't eat chocolate ever?
100 lions vs Xeroc
The lions would win if they fought at night
Desert scourge gets eaten down to the bone by a swarm of bugs
theyre just bug racoons
not really. theres this one chocolate ice cream ill get at the store if its on sale which i definitely eat more frequently but thats it
Xeroc can make fake lions.
relatively small fat thing that eats everything including garbage
literally just bug raccoons
But lions can't make a fake Xeroc? This is outrageous, it's unfair!
It's the council's decision.
They can make a lion xeroc
Just like how the make all those lion ladders
Lions are just big cats, and Prov-- BLAM
what
what is providence
squirts blood out of neck

Left to rot.
nope
Submerged in a castle of broken promises and false dreams.
The goddess of ash
whats stopping the terrarian from grabbing draedon out of his chair and beating the daylights out of him
Because that's not thereal draedon
Would do literally nothing, just like if you kill him at the end of the fight
i guess that makes sense
Its just a body of draedon
And you can kill hat body
yall think we're ever gonna get info about the scientist who made draedon
I think it'll be nice to keep it as a mystery as it currently is
He was said to be super duper smart
I wonder what the lore items' text would look like if they were shoved into Google Translate over and over again
Draedon may have been the scientist is a popular theory
Ye
thatd be a great resource pack
But it's also possible it's just. a gyy
yeah i really like the theory that it was some consciousness transfer shenanigans
Would have to be a mod
aur
thats unfortunate
I doubt we will learn more cause not even draedon knows more
And draedon actually invented knowing
Nobody knew anything until draedon invented it
Zayer: Now it is eternal boundary. The power you collect is better.
Dedicated, faith and faith in the truth ... From this point.
When you win, you will have all riding. The world gets you
Will you see the previous grass stars? How can you emphasize the stars where you see?
Fear, at least fear or respect.
This is the power to leave the dragon. The basic energy in the order.
We're very little now. If you don't like fighting me, I suspect you're coming to me.
When finished: there is the suspension of the Greve's grave.
I look forward to your problems.
yharon?
That's Cynosure translated like 10 times.
shit i knew it was the last one i just forgot that it was cynosure
"I look forward to your problems" is a crazy thing to say.
This is a glorious day.
These feats will forever be legendary. From now on, only wizards like Brel and I can match them.
Providence is perhaps one of the most evil gods, seeking to purify herself through destruction.
Her followers believe that life is meaningless. They believe that suffering is meaningless too.
This evil goddess has promised her followers that she will burn everything to the ground and end inequality.
Her followers are weak, but she is the mistress and ruler of one of the most powerful gods.
Perhaps it is her unpredictable nature that allows her to wield this power.
"She is the mistress and ruler of one of the most powerful gods." Uhhh, 😳?
I did Cynosure again and got a better result;
Plansusach: now. Perfect force is awesome.
Weather and makeup, honestly and betrayed ... don't know.
Did you rent ashes? The country is already expected.
Don't see which team is left, what stars do you see?
Terrarium is not afraid or respected.
This is the largest authority. The power of regulatory framework - Skecif.
We are very small among us. If you do not have to tell me, you'll tell me I have to deny it.
When you do: Look at the lights on the top of Irare.
I'm waiting for your weight.
Waiting for your weight
"I'm waiting for your weight." ??? Yharim's into fat people?!
Dont say that about my cutie
We are very small among us. What did Yharim mean by this?
Sus
among us
Amogus
Nah he’s waiting for the terrarian to become 100% muscle
100% muscle, 0% brain. I've already got one of those! 
Since the brain is a muscle, I feel you lack muscle.
Is that dron
potaeton
why didn't we politely ask xeroc how to do the ritual before killing yharon
I mean, we didn't truly kill yharon, so we may still have a chance to do that
The problem is we gotta convince Xeroc to do that, and given Yharim's around the same power level as pre ascension Xeroc, and we're probably gonna kill yharim, I don't think he'll take the risk
Also we didn't know yharon would attack us
Or that we could talk with Xeroc with the terminus
(I mean, you CAN use the Terminus before fighting Yharon.)
Xerox?
No, like photocopy
Oh yeah, that's what some Americans call printing.
What ritual is he talking about?
The ascension ritual.
I am not american so
Ohhh this makes sense
Then I don't know why you called printing 'Xerox'.
Thank you mr white
Excuse me.
you're welcome
Because in my country is most commonly called xerox
(Note to self; Avoid naming characters with names that are one letter off real companies.)
(I guess this means I can't use 'Gooble'.)
Clever
What if the Terminus just contains prerecorded messages from Xeroc?
He says he watched us, or at least glimpses of our journey
And he also remakes the bosses we fought with primordial light
Xeroc presses the button for Message A or B depending on how far we've come 
Yeah but how would he pre record stuff we've only done in the future
Imagine being yharon reviving 20 years later and everyone you knew is dead by the terrarian
Imagine being Yharon reviving a bunch of years later, and everyone at all is dead by the Terrarian
*10.
How would you know
I am Drake Dragon.
I created the Dragons.
It was difficult, to put the souls together.
Gods dammit
Did something unfortunately went so wrong
Goober is fair game, at least
Correct, and now I can't stop singing this stupid song.
It's been so long.
Since last I've seen my dragons lost to that monster.
The Xeroc behind the slaughter.
Dragons deserved it 
In my humble opinion, of course
That's racist.
The dragons were innocent
Correct!
Nah, I don't like them
The gods had it coming after they had slain the innocent dragons
Well technically he only started it 
t. Yharim

Yharim liked dragons. Yharim was evil. Therefore, the dragons were evil. Q.E.D.
False equivalence.

We were robbed of 35 different dragon bossfights in calamity mod
Yharim drank water. Yharim was evil. Therefore, drinking water is evil.
opens Wikipedia page listing logical fallacies
"Uhhh, this one!"
Ad hominem, probably.
Yharim hates lava because it burnt him
Yharim is evil
Hence, lava is good
We should all jump into an active volcano
Last time he was thrown into lava, he got a dragon.
If we do it again, he'd get another one, obviously.
But now his dragon is dead (deserved!) No one's saving him now!
Not dead
Dead for a bunch of years, until we kill it again
He is dead, he just gets better.
Go to the Dragon's Aerie and deploy a bunch of automatic dragon-egg-smasher drones
Would that reset his timer or actually just kill him?
If he didn't hatch he technically was never birthed to be rebirthed so he dies
Do Auric Souls care about technicalities like that?
Calm down there Draedon
Smash the Yharegg with a rock!
How would you know they don't
Then piss on the corpse
I am Drake Dragon.
I made the Dragons.
Die
It was difficult, to put the souls together.
Thou shalt perish
I refuse.
what if yharim was able to stop time for 5 seconds
Then the Terrarian would learn they actually have a very similar power.
Im connecting the points ahh🥀
Yessss, join me in my reverse-Yharim morality!
Everything is connected 💔🥀
Yharim is bad, and he liked filling bees holes, hence, filling bees holes is bad 🌹
Did i made it right?
Not exactly. It's just inverting Yharim's core belief of "dragons good, gods evil" into "gods good, dragons evil". It's not my genuine view, but I just appreciate its simple, elegant narrow-mindedness
does yharim know cqc
Well he has a giant sword, so probably
Almost certainly.
why would he not
he is John Melee why would he not know cqc
...what?
I dont get it
Sworima balls!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yharim: "How about another joke, God of Dogma?"
God of Dogma: "No, I think we've had enough of your jokes."
Yharim: "What do you get when you cross a dragon-loving slave with a society that abandons him and treats him like trash?"
God of Dogma: "You, call the police!"
Yharim: "I'll tell you what you get! You get what you fuckin' deserve!"
We need to have a live action yharim vs every god
With Chris Pratt as Yharim.
Also Chriss Pratt.
Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson is Xeroc.
Chris Pratt just plays everyone because they couldn't afford anyone else after paying him
That's ALL the Patreon money.
helloo
Hello
Hello.
um what would happen if you microwaved an auric soul for 2 minutes on high
Hospital.
What about microwaving the Slime God on high for 99 minutes 99 seconds?
plasma god
why are they asking about microwacing things
Why not
lore relevant
if you steal all of yharon's organs and then he dies and gets reborn
can you steal his organs again
and repeat
yes
how thirst??
drink
Cos
drink what?-
idk if u were looking for a srs answer but id imagine his body prob turns to ash when he goes egg mode like a phoenix from myth
but what if it's not connected to him
so like shave bits and pieces off?
yharon juices 😋
take out his organs
blod
Do not juice the dragon.
and dragons must have a bunch of blood
and if he's immortal
does that mean inf iron?
juice the dragon
they only have 1 blood cell
DO NOT!
in total
D:
among all dragons
fr?
THE WHAT
Did you think Xeroc worked alone?
i'm going to choose to interpret this as affirming my theory
that yharon is the only dragon and he was just. lying about everything
door
wym door.
door
can u be more specific.
Door.
it's the only stable portal to the distortion
and whats the distortion
undoubtedly made by noxus
The shadow realm.
dimension where dog and crew are from
is that where yharim is hiding?
No.
do we know that?
it's a realm full of dogs and other cute animals
Yes.
yes
he's in the dragon aerie
yharim in dragon aerie we’re gonna kick his ass
he tells you this explicitly
yharim literally says to come get him in the aerie in cynosure iirc
Yes.
yeah
oh.
what does cynosure mean
and you think i read that?
A person or thing that is the centre of attention or admiration.
cool

i suppose yharim was the cynosure for a while
He used Follow Me.
Eat a door
Of a gingerbread house?
Aw.
"eat your chair" -Filbus
No, eat a metal door
I have wanted to do this earlier today
what rogue stealth weapon should I use against dog? im having a hard time deciding which one has the most dps
oh wrong channel
Lol
I mean, in the lore, stealth didn't work all that well when DoG was around.
so wait braelor is still canonically stuck in the distortion
Yes
lol what a loser
his boyfriend abandoned him leave him alone
so draedon doesn't know about xeroc?
Nope
correct
tbh we dont know if the terrarian knows or not about the ritual, and i think its better to leave it ambiguous for now
the auric soul would be locked post yharim anyways since it teleports to the aerie
(they don't)
the aerie will be pre yharim
you have to go there to fight him
but yharim definetly would not let you get closer to his soul
You wont ascend ingame because it would be affected by characterisation which the terrarian is left blank on intentionally
???
yall need to think about the hype moments and aura
Ngl i dont see ascending to godhood as that
I mean idk about that
how much you mutate during an ascension is based on some unknown aspect of your characterization
because its still
ur choice lol
U can say that for
literally anything
the player does
buh
But i still think we shouldn't ascend because of many other reasons
And i mean we won't
But i heavily disagree with the reasoning melon gave
yharim literally says yharon will rebirth
he wont be saying that if we took his soul
?
actually he wouldnt be saying anything hed be fucking auric springlocked
not what the convo is abt tsuki
the player actually ascends in hotog theyre just so goated the auric souls r a weak stat boost in comparison
u go bed
I tried and got woken up by one of my younger siblings shouting and being pissed off for some reason
kill em
classic
can you tell me them cheze
its so funny you dont learn how ascension works through the entire thing though
like it's kind of a big deal and you just can't get that info
Sadly yharim happened to the main group of people with that info
its also kinda awkward cuz like
imagine youre a baby calamity player and you spent the entire game seeing yharim talk abotu how people that kill dragons r god bad and you kill a dragon and nothing changes
Well for one i don't think there's literally any way you could make the gameplay changes from ascending live up to what it's supposed to be
A small stat change like WOTG just would Not be good
Not to mention that Ascencion factors in one's own personality and ideals when it comes to deciding their domain which is not something you can really do with a blank slate character
xeroc: "yeah so you just kinda like... eat it. just like chomp chomp chomp- don't chew it though. definitely don't chew it. knew a girl once who chewed it, didn't turn out well for them"
theres like very fair reasons for it and itd be doubly weird if you could ascend but its like
As in the process itself or
its a very real case of gameplay really not servicing the narrative at all
Cheese using my point as her last reasoning despite saying she disagrees
No bro
i dont get how not knowing the specifics of ascension is funny at all
our points are entirely separate
i disagree with the blank slate part but like
from a gameplay perspective it's impossible
as in anything, all you get to know is that guy absorbs soul becomes powerful
and it would sort of force a player to choose to become a god to progress
currently you don't even get to really like know there's a distinction between xeroc and silva and the rest of the gods
which is too forced even for me
I guess that is all you can really look at ingame
Don't think things like how domains work are really described ingame currently
Cheese i re read my argument and i dont fucking know what you on about we both said about ascending being affected by characteristics and the terrarian lack those intentionally
looking at the lore items you don't even know what an imperfect ascension is
or you're never told
I mean that'll definitely be explained eventually i think knowing atleast the general idea of how domains work is important
Specially the perfect ascencion distinction
Sorry if this seems aggressive btw that aint intentional
UNLESS we do what we should've done from the beginning and followed CCR's example
unfortunately lore implementation is like not real right now
sso save us
so basically. in ccr there's this item
Hey stip
its really a case where narrative and gameplay really drift apart and its kinda sour
stip save us
that lets you design your own cryogen construct
and we could just do that for ascending
that would work probably
I mean yeah but i'm not too worried about it
would be very clunky with how ascension works
it would be super immersion breaking but it would work
The mod's currnet lore implementation is like. 1 actually decently well designed thing and the rest are just remnants of 500 years past
true
Funny thought: the terraria could kill all the way up the exo mechs and scal and just... stop there, not confront yharim
maybe the auric soul whatever drops from secret boss xeroc and it's a postgame haha item so you don't have to care
the terraria
like narratively you'd think the game is building up to yharon's defeat being like, meaningful because all yharim talks about is how killing dragons is a sin because of gods
but no it's not at all u just get the soul fragments
And there's obviously multiple barriers that make it impossible beyond the obvious but like its kind awkward
deltarune mod that makes it so instead of learning tenna's backstory and having his characterization hinted at throughout chapter 3 you instead learn none of it until you defeat him and get a item in your iventory talking about it
edging yharim simunlator
The real reason we wont be able to ascend ingame is cause it requires a 3D structure and the terrarian cant build that
Holy fuck the chat fast
imagine you never talk here and your only view of the lore is whats ingame
I mean yeah
Ingame lore implementation is bad
Nobody's unaware of this i don't think
Don't underestimate modders
we mean this specific thing wont change at all
They've done some crazy shit
Nah i think it can very well change
Addons arent canonical to calamity
how would it though
if yharim hates xeroc so much then why does he want to talk through a rock
Making good buildup to Yharon and making the aftermath feel impactful is very doable imo
checkmate crusaders
your main source of information will always be yharim and yharim's dialogue is what builds that up
yo that's so real, my terrarian is lemon goku
stip has been typing for too long i'm scared
you could make it more obvious that yharon doesn't actually die i think
He's the one directly talking to you and all but that dosen't mean you can't build things up in other ways
World events, other characters, cutscenes
wed argue he's the main one because his loredumps r tied inherently to progression
yeah because
thats all the mod has right now
he does die, just not permanently
yeah but you could make that more clear
Yharon does die the fucker vaporises his own corpse
yharim explicitly tells you
you can give amidias five hours of dialogue and most people can just not talk to him ever while most people will always kinda see the lore items or whatever they get replaced with because they're given on boss defeats
it's either yharim manifesting items in your inventory or talking with draedon and reading his diary
not really
In an ideal scenario, I personally would show how/why the ascension ritual is being your reach rather than having it be an achievable thing
I think the awkwardness stems from a gap in worldbuilding where it would connect to gameplay, you just fill the gap with intuition (which, currently, leads you to think that killing Yharon would ascend you)
Let's remember that the ascension ritual isn't talked about ingame rn so it's realistically an even bigger gap
given that lore tiems are being killed
lmao
And what's replacing them is something you'll have to Get
also even though you can indeed build up other things in other places yharim's current dialogue definitely still builds up to like, you ascending or being given the option to, except that obviously doesn't happen for obvious reasons
Yeah because it's not like Amidias has Quests related to the world riiiight
Yharim is absolutely not meant to be an unrivaled primary source, and it being so would be a severe fault in our storytelling
we know more than one person has come here curious if they were or not a god after defeating yharon
we're not relaly critcizing anything either atp we're like just stating a thing
a large amount of people straight up avoid reading those because it feels very forced and plus they take up valuable inventory space
stip pleas explain how ascension actually works so ppl can stop speculating /hj
Stip please dont we already know enough
Yeah
And I explained why
And my perspective on how that could be fixed
i feel like that's up to interpretation
wdk
yharim's pretty explicit about the kill dragon become god thing
and since ascension isn't explained in any meaningful way it's very hard to like, Know if he means Literally
he says you have to consume the soul
i mean it also states pretty clearly that you have to consume an auric soul
and you very clearly don't do that
^
and also that dragons can die normally
The health item that uses auric soul shards and increases your max health
That's... exactly the gap
Yes, Yharim explains that killing a Dragon allows you to achieve godhood, but he doesn't cover important details like needing a ritual or said ritual being lost to time
that's a whole different thing
you're given soul fragments we think most people would just assume there's a disconnect in yharim saying consume and the game being terraria lore integration
I mean i'd say it's. pretty clear. about you have to Kill A Dragon to Become A God.
Still consuming item with auric soul shards
Not out the question it could lead someone to believe eating it means godhood
yeah and then you do that and that doesn't happen
I have never seen anyone take that in any way except literally in my life, even with the mod's current lacking lore implementation
we saw a person here literally ask
this was not too long ago either
so we think the confusion is definitely a thing that can happen
that's pretty easily fixed by just changing the crafting recipe
then
True
I think you're not understanding our point Ender
Idk what you're trying to say because i've seen some confusing regarding ascencion yeah but i've never seen anyone confused at whether it's literal or not
But still rn is potentially a source of confusion
It is yeah
no we did understand your point we just dont have anything else to say about that
Thank you for clarifying, because you just keep repeating yourself :p
uhh some people think hornet is void, so i think team cherry failed in explaining their lore
i think what we could do is make it a bit more clear that yharon is a special case given how he is the dragon of rebirth
Yeah that definitely could be something done
it is important to remember that some people will always just not know the lore
I mean i figure
yea
the fact the Aerie is going to be added evnetually
might be a good awy to help with that
Cutscene with Yharim near Yharon's egg or something
in the aerie would be a good time to have a bunch of exposition pedestals or something
well we think the difference is that that's misconception born out of ignoring ingame material while this would be a misconception born out of not knowing material that isn't in game ye t
yharim literally says the soul needs to be entirely consumed
which
doesnt happen with yharon !!!!!
why do we call them yharon soul fragments
Like. Everyone's aware of the several issues with the lore implementation.
why can't they just be yharic fragments
the lore shouldn't have to cater to the people that just don't read
People have repeated these same things several times
theyre yharons soul fragments
Cause they are fragments of yharons soul
Now i think this statement is missing the point
Lore that just tells itself through writing is
Not exactly Good most of the time
Not to say yo ucan't expose through writing
But good implementation does more than that
i think we should let the lore be vague until the dragons aerie
this is true can the lore writers remove all the content next update and just drop 50 Sunken Sea Scrolls
that helps with the buildup
"The lore" is very vague tbf
But the Dragon Aerie could be a nice place to drop some exposition on a few things
yeah keep it vague
I meant
no new lore until yharim update
"The lore" as in The Statement
where its suddenly everything
well we guess if youre an active user here
Ok better wording
i'm not against environmental storytelling, that's not what i was saying, i mean beating things over people's heads to help the lowest common denominator is bad
"The lore" is too generalizing given this mod's lore has alot of facets and saying that "The lore should be kept vague" is very vague a statement in of itself
Yeah i agree
But in this case
we mean this is the kind of it depends statement
I fully agree that the mod dosen't explain things as well as it could in vary cases
there should be a bunch of dragon tombstones that give exposition about how ascedning works
That is a valid critique to have
ig yeah
The problem c omes with
like in the abstract if many people dont know what the writing is saying then thats kind of a problem
obviously i mean lore as in the specific lore we are talking about
with asecndison
repeating the same complaints over and over when everyone's obviously aware of them and the mod is actively being updated
come back in 2771 after the yharim update and then we can talk
true
wed say it overexplains some things actually
Well we guess itd be better to like talk about this in a case per case basis
why does anahita let siiva bully her out of being in her own abyss when she's literally dead
worst elemental oat
right now we can't think of anything that wed say is explained less than it should be that wouldn't just be an ingame integration thing
we should put more lore in the descriptions of boss item drops
good news
it's always fun when i see that
legendary items get tooltip lore in sso
like so
(it's press shift to read like lore items)
this is so interesting
unfortunately this will not fit on the screen of my steam deck so i will continue to use this channel forever
lol
Not all of them, but a good few yeah
wait what classifies as a legendary item
Being real?
Wait what does this mean
A different plague bee has been targetted to become the main host? (Its late brain melted)
most 10% drops from bosses
old ass classification that some people r still using now
There is a list on the Wiki under removed content
ask mad, she wrote it
Hey mad
But some items might be added to the list as time goes on
its weird and honestly i want whenever next update to come out for people to make new classifications for the 10% drops
oh its from malice mode
Whar
malice mode is relevant to the lore again yippee
It's PBG's thoughts after being broken free
Legendary items predate malice no?
Ah ok thanks
yeah with rare item variants
Tbh idk how i feel about that tooltip
as 1% drops
i think we should bring back malice mode as like lorekeeper mode or something
I feel like the usageo f things like
it's the new name for legdeath on gfb
Its the ftw/gfb name for death like legendary is to master
that's fun
Error 0x000ITF80
Unified frequency band and lead satellite units
t-2200
Just like random example here
Bugt i feel like
alot of this extra fluff
is just unecessary
like i GET why its here
but i think it just
makes it unecessarily harder to understand
ANd dosne't really
add anything besides making it Feel more "techy" i guess
i mean the pbg doesn't have that much unexplained lore
It's not rly about it being unexplained
It's meant to be a showcase into how PBG operates and I think it adds to its identity
we don't think difficulty modes and lore nerds overlap
if you want the lore you should be dedicated
i don't have a problem with the tooltip tbh
The canon difficulty is rev exoert
I don't see how tbh?
Like i feel like it'd accomplish the same without all this extra fluff and be less intimidating/confusing to the reader. Because ultimately i think ppl will focus too hard on what these specifics mean even if the're not meant to be important or explained and are just extra fluff
the canon difficulty is every boss is normal mode crabulon
intended difficulty and canon difficulty are not necessarily the same thing
it literally doesn't matter difficulties aren't canon
It is in calamitys case
The item is, by all means, purposefully styled to be a peep into PBG's mind. This is how this thing operates, this is how it thinks, it's not necessarily trying to convey information as much as it is just... that
Yeah but you ahve to consider regardless of what it's meant to be
what do you even mean by canon difficulty
It's still lore for the player to read
And again i think it accomplishes the same
Without the extra fluff
While being less confusing
i feel like you're reading into this too much
The only like difference is how fucked bloodmoons are since death has much higher spawnrates then rev iirc
I'm just criticizing the way the writing is being handled here because i think it's a bit odd
i feel like it could be a bit shorter while accomplishing the same purpose but at the same time it still works
Yeah basically
I think the extra fluff is unecessary and personally i'd remove it but
It's fine
blood moons are described as leaving you knee-deep in corpses so death might actually be closer to canon...
Id say the spawnrates for bloodmoons is decently high enough that by the end if gores didnt despawn you would indeed be knee deep in rev
that reminds me
devs please add a way to have death bloodmoons without having to play master

I don't believe it is confusing, personally. I also believe the "fluff" is necessary to convey the intention behind the text and that sometimes, things can't be perfect in writing without detracting from "the point". Essentially, I prefer fully delivering the intention instead of having optimal writing
it's not confusing it's just kinda long
computer code is long yes
that might be because don't like how pbg talks though
It's probably the shortest Legendary Item ngl
It's just long because it's written like code
none of these will fit on my screen ever, got it
That's not code ://////
no shes saying its short, but seems longer due to having multiple new lines
Ok
not even really the standard log format either but like not relevant
oh no this thing isnt perfectly accurate
can we make the EoW lore item not just him talking about how he doesn't like that the EoW is called the EoW
But it's not that
EoW item is Yharim doing a blanket deflection of any criticism of him you might encounter
Its a big worm formed in the corruption
(the solution is obviously to remove the EoW)
ture
u don't got to be weird about it it's just not code it's a log like it's not about degree of accuracy they're just different thing what
Eat sand
Sounded like you were complaining
i think we should have more people criticize yharim then, like town npcs
"Calling this thing an 'Eater of Worlds' is an immense hyperbole, just like how you'll probably hear about me being a genocidal. I wasn't I just killed bad people"
ok that makes sense
OHHH IM SO SORRY HERE LET ME CORRECT MYSELF
the dryad should call yharim names methinks
oh no this person wasnt using the correct terminology
I want to have that, but you know, it's gotta be equal
I want to have some that think he was alright
Tsuki its 2 am
i know
the passive agressiveness is really unecessary
tax collector would be a yharim sympathizer
make the princess say he's suprisingly polite or something
Of course he would
Tax Collector is probably the single most beneffited person by Yharim
steampunker should also be more of a draedon hater
Princess is a very unique case
princess and yharim tea parties
That's fair enough
I still personally disagree as the extra bits really don't add much to me but i can see where you're coming from
It's not really a big deal as i said so i think it's fair to just
disagree on this one
DoG is too much of an arrogant bastard even for the princess
politics of yharims crusade and is told not to openly support any gods cuz she will be the reason her country gets nuked
who
Just a beaming ray of sunshine in the gloom that is the world after the Crusade
horse
from that horse anime?
from the horse anime yes
oki
the horse anime thats from the horse game???
the horses oooh i love the hosrses the horses mamn the frieaking horsers
youre right for this
Oh, the horse girl. I've heard of that. Everyone can't stop gambling!
What.
God what have I walked into
Idk
Horses, I think?
Uma Musume: Pretty Girl Derby ~~!

if yharim had to go to college what major do you think hed pick
Military History.
his hyperfixating ass
why is anahita called anahita while the rest of the elementals are just "___ elemental"
So, simple answer, I don't know WHY, although the Elemental used to have a different name.
Anahita is just the name of a really old Iranian goddess.
I don't know WHY they chose that, but they did.
Anahita used to have a different design and name, but I believe the spriter left the mod and took the design with them for another project, requiring a new design to be made.
a better design got made
wikipedia says anahita is the iranian goddess of water so totally
the same way azafure is similar to the spanish word for sulfur
can the leviathan and anahita communicate with each other
maybe leviathan just wanted a name to call her by
so are there any other Leviathans like as a species or his he just a single creation
We don't know, since again, it's unclear if Leviathan is summoned or created by Anahita.
"A gargantuan marine reptile that lurks the ocean depths along with the Water Elemental, Anahita. It is unknown if she is the last of her kind, or was simply manifested into existence like her master."
This is from the bestiary, which is omniscient.
Dunno if it was a spriter, but yes
wait leviathan is a girl
The old Siren was ported to a mod called Tides of Aether if I'm not mistaken
girlbosses of the seas
That's interesting.
Haven't heard about it before.
the last line of leviathans bestiary entry kind of implies she’s the last one though, right? either option, her being the last of her kind or her being summoned by Anahita, still mean she’s the only Leviathan
Well, either she's the last of her kind, or Anahita created her, thus making her the only of her kind to presently exist.
i see yeah i worded it wrong
but either way it’s one singular leviathan just whether it’s the last one or the only one
Yes.
Anahita survives the fight, technically, but Leviathan's dead. Assuming it's a construct, she can probably be recreated anyway.
how do we know anahita survives?
Water Elemental.
i’m assuming that i’m supposed to know that elementals are immortal or something
Yeah elementals just dont die
You would have to destroy every single bit of water on the planet to kill anahita
are there elementals for everything? earth, air, water, fire..
Yeah, can't be killed without destroying their element.
Earth, Air, Water, Fire, Life.
Brimming
so what we see ingame is only a small portion of the elementals right?
cause theres a lot of elements
Earth is sand
Water is anahita
Fire is brimmy
Air is cloud
Nature is silva
Yeah sand and cloud split into a lot of pieces
Anahita seemingly does so as well but to a lesser extent iirc
Everything with 'Elemental' in the name are one of those five, except Chaos Elementals, which are a secret other thing.
(We have no idea.)
Bro this guy
Chaos elementals will be known once sso is out
Thats fake
A fake.
imagine the sand elemental splitting herself up to 1 elemental per grain of sand on terraria
Probably not the greatest plan.
