that just reads like "Oops we accidentally wrote a situation where it's entirely possible for the player to kill the final boss without even needing to fight him, just by eating Yharon's soul!"
"might as well say that yharon can just teleport his soul somewhere else"
It also explains why yharon survived the 800 years when most dragons died in 100 years
we're still gonna go to the dragon's aerie eventually
i personally find the thrown into lava thing kinda dumb
(silly)
for sure the powerful gods that had a whole society would have a better execution method than throwing someone in lava with the super powerful dragon egg
does say that "Their meek, ingratiated swine" threw him and the egg into lava so i guess it could just be explained as a frenzied crowd doing it rather than anything proper
Provi herself descended from the sky to sneeze on them
guys i think i remember the lore item of slime god saying that if it absorbed more slimes it couldve been very strong but then why didnt it just do that?
it's a leftover from old lore that wasn't properly rewritten
it doesnt say that anymore
oh
still states that it "forbids itself from growing out of control" in the bestiary
also
new lore, he's not cool anymore (because the writers SUCK and only care about hot beefy girls like providence and silva)
same dude
oh right
(it COULD change tho, if they ever decide to swap calclone and slime god's places in progression)
make slime god a final boss like goozma i want more of it
(they're now in the mood to swap bosses now that a certain very evil hampering presence has been banished)
cool
i mean theres hunt of the old god, that should satiate you
yeah but it's just not the same man
and if queen slime is slime god then why didn't it just escape like before?
they had to work with what they got
Queen slime went rogue and absorbed slime god
I like to headcanon that sg is the crystal ball thing
-# and yeah its just a bandaid fix of fabsolian design
it needs to be stressed that the lore started out being written by fabsol, so when the time came around to rewrite the lore, some things just kinda
are weird
Slime god will still be like
Below average for a god
Slime god the silliest god
I mean, usually when you throw something into lava it does die, so you can see why they'd try it.
this resprite is kinda in a weird position
the 2 slimes already got a resprite but they were done when fabsol was still here so they're kinda boring
was made for a rework that'll be replaced eventually
Hire me I will make the lore significantly worse
hire me and i'll make sure slime god gets the respect it deserves
Hire me I will make the lore significantly more detailed in areas that don't need it.
Supreme Witch of Slime, Calamitas.
yeeeessss
slimeseeker yharim
devourer of slime
Hire me i will make the terrarian you
hire me i will make the lore significantly more vague and disconnected so the players have to do all of the writing
isn't this how calamity already is
hire me.
Yharim would like taco bell if it existed
He would not like chipotle
don't hire that guy he doesn't do anything
yharim is probably vegan
Dork
calamity's lore is just not fully implemented yet (like, less than 10% or something is in-game rn or smth)
why would he go to taco bell and eat chicken
that'll make yharon rememebr his fallen comrads
Beef
i vow to make it more vague and disconnected and to keep it that way
yeah ts good
so the community talks more
and more people join here
and calamity mod gain popularity
What if instead of "Calamity" it was "Rain World" and you played as a "Slugcat" in an "Iterator's" grounds and had to survive the "Rain"
Leaspores upon this chat
hire that guy
What if instead of fighting gods Yharim and Yharon had to get their company out of debt and their names were Olimar and Louie.
and they would've been roommates
yharon was the chaotic one
and yharim the calm that reads books and stuff
but they still love each other and that's the beauty of it all
And draedon is there too
draedon would be the company ceo
that's why they work together in the lore of calamity
Draedon is the ship who names the treasure and also his name is The Ship.
no more draedon?😢
hire me and i'll give you the opportunity to eat yharon's soul and become
the god of
birth?
Banned.
It's not broken or anything, no indication of such things.
ain't that just the current lorewriters jobs
I would have explained Tyrian's hobbies.
No??
ok but draedon's autistic rant about exo stuff
i didn't need to know about draedon somehow not noticing about the crusade for 22 years
overexplaining shit in draetalk removes a ton of his aura and more importantly makes him seem kinda stupid
being on another continent entirely and being very isolated would probably od that
That is very much needed its peak
fair but he was around for like 500 years beforehand
and the crusade wasn't.
fair but you'd expect him to montior things more often smh
I dont see how it makes draedon seem stupid
why would he monitor random things
Why would he care about a war?
He's likely seen dozens.
Especially when resources were an actual issue
It would only be when it lasted a while would he take notice.
at most he probably just has a camera or 2 outside his lab
Whats chaff
I think draetalk makes him significantly more interesting
Characters that exist for one purpose; "be cool" seldom fufill that role
Having him yap to you about his role makes him more endearing and interesting
draetalk also helps seperate him from the typical "cold and calculating robot" thing
Yeah
cause he's obviously very passionate about what he talks about
He'd be incredibly lame if he existed soley to fight and never be seen again
my issue is also that he points out DoG blatantly ignoring thermodynamics while things on his side of the fence also do so???
its the exo prisms that are
the problem
How so
The talk or the mechanics of them
he trips over himself pointing out shit
Show where please since I'm interested
draedon at least has an idea on how exo prisms work
he kinda just scratches his head at DoG
Yeah dog would logically make someone who pokes and prods and tries to understand everything as much as possible confused because he lies a ton and doesn't say much
Also the fact that he's a giant talking worm from another dimension so a lot of his prior knowledge isn't going to help.
would flowey undertale be able to absorb multiple auric souls
Hard to say
Mayhaps.
he is already capable of producing basically infinite energy so why is he scratching his head at this, is it really that hard to believe???
Of course, they would remain Auric Souls, as Flowey lacks a soul.
so like an automatic perfect ascension?
If he knew the ritual then maybe
Perfect Ascensions still create Godly Souls as far as I'm aware.
But he literally has no soul to ascend with.
He's an empty vessel.
goldy souls
We don't really know the mechanics of ascension so the answer is a big fat idk
is omega flowey stronger than xeroc
Probably
Draedon has only seen proof of making energy not destroying it so it is new info to ponder about
Considering a soul is needed, Flowey can't.
Fundamentally weaker, but the power to RESET and LOAD means that Flowey would be hard to defeat.
Though the souls would probably piss off after some time
but xeroc isnt frisk
Not as fast as with frisk
Omega flowey is weird
undertale powerscaling
Somehow gets us past the barrier
And I feel like Xeroc is so powerful that Omega Flowey can't really threaten them.
Epic...
the souls in question
Still not 7
So the fight goes on until the souls rebel.
Barrier still exists
if flowey firstly absorbed some human soul and then tried absorbing multiple auric ones would he be able to
if 1 human soul + 1 monster soul can get through the barrier then i mean. 6 other human souls. yeah
like thats
My OC wins because I've beat omega flowey so
very simple deduction
Fucking autocorrect
how does undertale powerscaling even work how do 6 souls make a fodder photoshop flower and 7 souls make an unbeatable god
Yeah for that individual we have no confirmation if barrier blocks others while still letting the allowed person through or not
I mean yeah but that's like besides the point
The game is not focused on that stuff
Yeah
I don't understand the confusion regarding how we get thru the barrier
It's focused on the story not "this dude is strong he cann beat Goku"
thats sans
hes the dude whos so strong he can beat goku
sans outervgersla rememvers your genociee
We dont absorb the human souls so its in the air if we could pass through
lore
the rots getting to me
i mean goku probably killed a lot of people so the karma prolly insane
No that'd be Vegeta
I mean again it's
Extremely simple deduction
They already helped us win against flowey
Might aswell help us get out of the barrier
Like
Sure it's not direclty confirmed but it's like. 1 + 1 = 2
But the game doesn't tell you!!! It doesn't say "and then frisk escaped!!!" Therefore it's impossible to know!
Also flowey is on the other side somehow
Why would they let murder flower out there 😭
Undertale would be better if at the end of the game Calamitas showed up and she said 'How Calamitous!' and then a laugh track played.
calamity
That's right! I'm the roaring knight! Me!
you dont get it its the hype moments and aura of the 6 souls so they kinda let anyone pass through
are you papyrus
No I'm Mr. Piss
so you cant be the roaring knight
vaema is shakidou
Why doesn't Yharon use Yharonite to Mega Evolve into Mega Yharon to defeat the Terrarian? Is he stupid?
who up on the legends zaza
Yharim is holding the mega stone
You can't have two megas
He's supposed to have the Key Stone. Is he stupid?
A little
He has hacked the system you dont see the genius
who would win yharim or the boulder with the crystal in it
The one thats a femboy
what tf are you talking about melon gun
I think it's self-explanatory.
The one thats a femboy wins
no genuinely i should fucking know this
Yeah, like, it's quite obvious. Not sure where the question is coming from.
im being gaslit
cmon man
this is a cognitohazard
Incattus do you not know what a femboy is
Well, there's many reasons for that.
Idk you seem odd enough to somehow have missed the knowledge of femboys existing
There are many reasons why you would.
do you guys think nothing there could solo entirety of calamity cuz its immune to physical dmg?
What.
no
Also magic.
Some project moon character
nothing there is overrated
What the fuck are you on about
Yharim can use Yharim Beam (does special damage).
There are multiple characters that deal damage to souls (scal, polter prob some other stuff) so i doubt it
melting love could probably solo calamity
listen buddy
most of stuff in cal
does physical dmg
besides brimstone magic maybe
nt solos 90%
Magic.
braindead scaling
A bunch of stuff is magic, or souls related.
Or both.
Even if you argue that energy isn't good enough, there's still explicit soul shenanigans with Brimstone Flames and the like.
pale damage can stop it in its tracks
Thats like soul damage no?
also the entirety of the verse is just no
yes
silva's just kinda immortal
cease powerscaling its so
Power scaling sucks
even after allat time
you asked the question and we gave an answer
vaema can solo cal however
Its incattus
Incattus be like that
In what dimension is power scaling fun
it directly says in the eternity mod lore doc i kid you not
Of fucking course incattus brings ip fucking vaema
who
the legendary quqqor/vaema/munch/yadin/yaku/vega/astra
who
is sso out though
no
no
No
yup
Even amidias is begging for help
I think you'll find you're the fake update around here.
scope creep moment
it has been nearly 5 months since i last time did ter playthrough
i was expecting smth
they're working on it
Well i guess nothing ever happens
Its kinda also become the defabsolisation update
Scope creep 💔
go play mod of redemption
My slowest modded playthrough ever i touch my MoR run every few months
fun is a foreign concept to cal fans
spok
You have approval, and will not be sacrificed at the next SSO summoning ritual.

True
big sprite not any time soon
Oh that’s fine I am a dog fan I am ready with the current sprite with the new fight
does anyone have that one "soon" image?

Is it an amidias?
New yharon fight??? It is not a fishrin anymore lesss goo
I am starting to question you
why u have so many of those
sorry
I have even more terrarians
You dare i am going to GS:H you 🟥

But you are the terrarian
changelogs truly tomorrow
we only have amidias getting increasingly more desperate, sorry
The TERRARIAN is YOU
melon do you wish to exclusively see the next evolution in amidias desperation technology
Yes
Melon did you forward an emoji
An Amidias to surpass Metal Gear...
?
Yes
U can do that??
Yup
I. Don’t need nitro lesss go
Discord implemented a bypass to their own emote system for some fucking reason

lealand
Whats the most recent news on the terrarian
What are you, but a miserable little pile of Terrarian?
Horrifying news
Is the Terrarian you because they are the Terrarian, or are you you because you are the Terrarian?
Is the terrarian up because you? Or terrarian you up because is you up?

next april fools we will reclaim lore discussion for ourselves
YOU discussion
the nine terrarians unleashed upon the world
Sure 
This emoji is so me fr
YOU DISCUSSION WOOO
Always been too focused on the fight to listen to the lyrics of Yharon's phase 2 theme, Roar of the Jungle Dragon. Decided to look into them today and had a good laugh, insane canon player glaze
By that point you are one of the most powerful beings to exist.
For sure, just funny to me that Yharon powers up and immediately starts sending Yharim a message about how screwed he is haha
Considering that you are actively killing him, you can see why he'd be a bit concerned.
Absolutely. Love when the game acknowledges the player character in such a way. Reminds me of final fantasy 16 where one of the themes is speaking directly to one of the bosses and telling them to run
The (non-canon) lyrics for Stained, Brutal Calamity mutually presents both you and Calamitas as realising the other is stupidly powerful.
Very nice, I hadn't actually looked into that yet. I've always enjoyed the Calamitas fight ending, only boss with enough sense to realize it wasn't worth dying over
really hard to accurately portray that (without being incredibly vague) in calamity with how
the terrarian...
At the moment at least, she's quite nice when she sticks around. I wouldn't mind her!
Talking about boss themes, a bit I really liked in Twisted Garden, Nameless Deity's theme, "petrichor-stained deity."
Petrichor is the smell of imminent rain, lot of fun ways you could interpret the line
ND being non-canon and all aside, very good theme with interesting lyrics
peeb
is that the king of the sunken sea
possibly
I am not gonna lie when I first saw amidias meme picture I thought it was thanos
(I am colorblind so me thought purple and blue same color)
yeah you literally killed god(s)
and dog
which is huge
yharim's old ass couldn't kill slime god
And Moon Lord, and Lunatic Cultist, and so on...
True, easy to forget that the dragons themselves couldn't kill Moon Lord
The survived gods went hiding during crusade but yharim didn't use his powers to find them
Yeah, I was just gonna say it sure is a good thing Moon Lord has had centuries to rot on the moon before we fight him lmao
Prime Moon Lord would be the final boss of calamity if Yharim is to believed in Cynosure
you would need to travel like
houndreds of years
thousands I think
to the past
to fight The Guy
Yeah no for sure, I speak entirely of how strong he was
true
In Cynosure, Yharim mentions that you're finally on the level of the dragons
yeah that's true
yharon is specially strong he is like 2nd strongest if all dragons were alive
so the regular auric dragon would be below moonlord me thinks
or around that level
Could be above that, I dunno if Yharon is actually at his strongest when you fight him or not
he is
All I know is that once you've beaten the Exo Mechs and Calamitas, Yharim says you're as strong as the dragons were
bro is about to die and his bestie too there's 0 reason for him to hold back
the average auric dragon was only at the strength of an eidolon wyrm
Old
I dont think an auric dragon is affected by age
True
also it was only 800 years ago,,,
specially one that constantly rebirths
I can NOT remember the timeline
hi
Maybe Yharim is saying you're as strong as the dragons all were collectively
hi seu
a very long tkme ago
youre the guy with the cool graphic right
hy tyrant!!
hi
about vcmm n junk
whats up gangalang
hiii johcmm
he could be meaning you're about as strong as zeratros was me thinks
but that would be yharim making shit up beacuse his ass NEVER saw any auric dragon other than yharon
tired
That's a good point, if how strong Xeroc supposedly is is anything to go off of then Zeratros could have been way out of his league
all day doing school shit
But yeah I also agree that Yharim is somewhat of an unreliable narrator
And for the most part the only source 
Hai rp
The other main source is an equally biased voice in the form of Draedon though
What’s poppin
Howdy brother man
uuh this worm is similar to this ultra big worm, they're same species clearly
Hi chat I haven’t talked in in ages
Finally working on my hypothetical calamity fanfic kind of
nah he isn't that biased
What if they turn storm weaver into a centipede
That’s cool!
Maybe not by his own opinions, but by his own nature I'd say he is
He sees the world through a very specific lens
Considering when to make my OC lose an arm
Have it get eviscerated by the exo mechs, perhaps
and doesn't even have much opinions actually
I don't actually know what Biarm is, I'm afraid
atleast regarding to the pieces of lore he shares
Bias + Yharim = biarm
Oh lmao
Bisexual Yharim
Yeah we were talking about that respective to the strength of dragons
yes
He can like women if he wants smh
i would like you to add two things
Zeratros is as strong as a man crippled by lava burns, he must have been dogshit 
true...
well what is it 
Isn’t one of biggest ship Draerim? In calam? ( I might be an oldie remembering false things)
Literal toxic yaoi
king of dragons got neg diffed by space squid
I mean one is bias the other is not what could go wrong
Armor up the psychopathic worm, but the bees? Too far, man ...
solar eclipse name is Dark Side of the Moon
and i want you to add another secret blotted out track, black box, "???" as its name, and made by Tyrant (Ft. Evobyte)
mmm oki
your best nightmare was better smh...
fair
I'm quite fond of Pink Floyd recently after watching Star Trek Acid Party with some friends
I didn't think I would ever meet another soul that even knew what that was lmao
ft evobyte (not related to the track i told seu to put in the graphic)
this was very pink floyd / ror inspiried
Hai tyrant
so distorted
Uwaaa I'll need to remember to come back for this, I'm on like 0.25 kbps internet rn
i think i can share it publicly since thats scapped anyway
Been considering maybe like, duke fishron?
wait this is vcmm right
okay give me like 15 minutes i need to update other track status too
i do not know if you have a graphic for the actual mod music

but if you do! very cool
i like what ur doin
this bangs
has that eerie vibe that makes me think of the distortion
we decided that it wasnt otherworldly enough
too much pink floyd
not enough like. "lol ur in another dimension"

though i do appreciate the kind comment :D
i agree, tis fire
okay this def looks like nameless lmao
let me add small black boxes around it
perfect
which boss gave you the most trouble
and which would be cool
Hm, I guess I always have some stupid deaths to plantera
She can certainly bite an arm off
i mean i dont advise a full pre boss to yharim/scal fic because the pacing would be
odd
but its your choice
also just think of what would be the most thematic boss to suffer an injury to
i don't know your stories theme so i cant really say
why did dog become super ulcer? is he stupid?
||XEROCK||
WRONG
now i feel guilty for spoiling stuff :(
torchy didnt eat dragon’s soul
so why should he bother dealing with it
It ate the Auric Dragon of Torches soul clearly 
true 
whats he going to do
bring a fire extinguisher idk
i will always place more torches
yharim smoked the torch god
foolish godseeker, i laced yo shit
fuuuuucccckkkkk
what are the lore possibilities of auric plantera
No auric souls to feed plant so prob 0
This is only happening if the player actively throws and feeds her Yharon's soul lmao
that's the plan
It's about sending a message
That would mean you'd have to skip plantera until post Yharim (not yharon, yharim), find the egg, and feed it to her
Is Yharon's soul still in the egg? Yharim makes it out like you killed him permanently and you get soul fragments from the loot
Actually wait, since the players actions are you, that means you can only do the stuff required to reach yharim and leave everything else in the world in issues
Yes low% can be canon
5 boss infernum low%, nobody even has time to know your name 
Nah, he just says the hope for a rebirth of the age of dragons is over because he'll die before Yharon is reborn
Either from us or probably from old age
I suppose canon low% would be the roxcal route which is like 13 bosses counting Yharim
What does low percent consist of now?
Roxcal shimmer, destroyer, Eidolists in abyss for lunatic, Moon Lord and then normal post Moon Lord
Wall of flesh, ravager, calclone, cultist, ML, DOG, yharon, scal and exos iirc
The roxcalibur route has to add profaned guardians and providence
Because you can't fish for auric without WOF
Yeah normal post ml
Well, without sentinels of the devourer, dragonfolly, or OD, or polterghast
I thought sentinels are required? Is there a DoG summon that circumvents now?
Always has been
Oh
Cosmic worm alternate recipe
For years you could get the summon for dog with post ml materials as well
Nope
The only impact infernum has on low% is just you can do cultist immediately and iirc skip calclone because of that in the WOF-less route which puts it on par with the normal WOF having route?
Because you can get ashes of calamity from cores of calamity from post providence ravager
I've been thinking it over and you're right that there's not reason not to do WOF instead of roxcaling for destroyer, though it is funny to not even enter hard mode in the run
Though this order can remove either ravager or calclone, right? Since shimmer can get you ash from cal cores?
Oh it's post prov right
Well you do need the ores from ravager to make yharon summon item iirc
Because cryonic
Gurt
Yo
Pretty sure it's actually "petrichor stained destiny" 
And it's most likely talking about the Terrarian™ 
Zamn
What about regular mechs?
Yharim vs Just Some Guy™
Nameless Guy 
Make it be bit off by DOG to showcase the lethality of the mouth without straight up dying
his mouth is the size of multiple people, that is NOT happening 😭😭
It has teeth too
there's no way he can aim with so much precision to get an arm specifically and not like
half your torso and head
we're talking about this btw
He tries to bite you, you try dodging by, for example, dashing, your arm gets clipped by teeth
Yo
Gurt
What do you mean by higher being
I think in distortion heirarchy maybe?
iirc signus is a similar type of being to noxus
By higher being like I meant the hierarchy like how melon mentioned
fuck you're right
Gay people
still cool but I liked the idea that the terrarian could smell his ass like blood in the water and did it all just to take a swing at him
This isn't the crash out channel melon
ik
If they were crashing out they would say trans people
They do both nowadays
this is true but lyrics is lyrics
yeah well in my head the terrarian SUCKS
Terrarian weak as FUCK
I, in real life, could beat the terrarian in a fight
(extremely funny btw)
I don't know why I didn't expect a ten year old mod community to have a reaction image for everything I say lmao
Grug beat up yellow man
This is for when people ask about the release date of sso
Used to have actual dates instead of please but uh
That got changed like 3 times
Amidias is begging for help now
Well we are calamity
And this is lore
Personal favorite reaction image
We all love this one
Because its peak
Because you're the terrarian
And the terrarian is you
Deltarune
fun fact the same person who made xerock made the terrarian is you
There isn't a reason to believe the Distortion has a feudal class system or something, and DoG is quite obviously stronger than Signus.
The idea wasn't that Signus is above DoG in a hierarchy, but they are comparatively closer in nature or function to the likes of Noxus, as they are a closer type of being. Assuming I remember what the devs said correctly.
Zarachard did both??
yeah
xerock was made like thirty minutes after xerocs first pre ascended design was public
LMAO
This does not mean that Signus and Noxus are the same species, however.
We do know that beings from the Distortion can be similar without being the same species.
Storm Weaver and DoG are mentioned to share abilities, are worms, and they eat a lot, but they are stated to not be the same species, for example.
She looks stupid
tldr
Signus and Noxus are like Mario and Banjo Kazooie, they're both platformers.
DoG and Storm Weaver are like Metroid and Castlevania, they're both Metroidvanias.
Oooh
I thought it was said somewhere
In the lore document
Or maybe it was a dev message
That said Signus was higher than Dog in someway
Was dev message
It's not a hierarchy thing, if anything it's a potential thing.
Ah I see
Idk where you got this from, you won't be able to banish her, you can just choose to not give her a house if you don't want to
Unless i missed smth
As for the second i also don't think that's true given 🍈 🔫 terrarian
Ceglon
Who's the terrarian again
i think i had a stroke last night when writing that
You know, I had an idea for a “lore item rework”
All lore items would be compressed into a single item, which could be used to communicate with Yharim
Good news.
ah yes, very idea that definitely hasn't been thought of already 
oh
stonephone..
STONE PHONE
Stone Phone, or as I like to call it, Peak.
stone phone
Yharim
Chat
Is it possible for a god to go back to pre ascended form?
Like physical form
Like could post assertion providence ever go back to her pre ascension form?
I am guessing no most likely
Unlikely.
Much like how their soul has been blended, I would assume the same reasoning exists for their physical form.
You can't unmake a cake.
That’s fair enough
Just sad I can’t fight pre ascended xeroc
some of them in theory but that does require their domain to allow for that
Oh like a shapeshifter god?
pre-ascension xeroc could be a thing because boss rush exists but
outside of edge cases like that the majority would be incapable
That would be more so Xeroc creating a copy of themselves.
We have official art of him but I don’t think we will ever fight that
Nah imagine
Xeroc boss fight starts pre ascended
After killing that
It is noted by xeroc that was just a mere copy
Then he actually comes in the battlefield
I mean given they have light powers
I'd say its reasonable for them to just. change what they look like also
So if a god has some ability that allows them to change their appearance or anything like that, sure, but as others have said it's something specific to certain gods b ased on their powers
I mean, Slime God can probably change their physical appearance. Maybe not Clay Face levels of doing it, but like, it's slime.
providence or agnus por example wouldn't have any way of returning ot their pre-ascencion form as far as we know
yeah i was gonna say
i wonder how malleable SG is, atleast in terms of appearance
i mean dude's literally. yk slime
maybe they can return to their pre ascencion form except made of. goo.
Do you think other living things could be a domain, or are slimes special, or is the domain of Slime just the material, which slimes happen to be made of?
i think other living things could have a domain in theory
if the person that absorbed the auric soul just fit that doman well for some reason
imagine being a random ass farmer and you absorb an auric soul by accident and now ur the god of cows
What kind of Dragon could result in that?
Dragon of Agriculture?
bro imagine if that was what happened to the dragon of life in a alternate universe
imagine going from LIFE to cows
😭
farmer john
god of cows.
I once thought that, on a technicality, couldn't someone absorbing the Soul of Rebirth become like, the God of Lobsters or God of Jellyfish, because both have an immortal species that resets its lifespan when it gets close to death.
god of jellyfish 😭
in my godyharim au fanfic thered be a god of moles
they were essentially morgan from one piece where they were in control of handing out news to everyone
and i used moles cuz they travel underground n stuff
So like, ground Hermes.
Yharon can’t die right? But then how can you ascend with him? Unless his soul is free for moments before turning to an egg?
Ascending with him is the one caveat to his immortality.
While he is an egg, you can use his soul to ascend.
This is the only known way to kill Yharon.
U can ascend through the egg?!?
Wha
The soul is inside the egg.
This is explicitly brought up.
It's integral to Yharim's backstory that that is possible.
I guess that makes sense
Oh that’s why yharim could have ascended with yharon but chose not to
Oh yea
All of the 'immortal and cannot be killed' beings in Calamity have some method of killing them.
Draedon: Destroy all of his servers.
Elementals: Destroy all of their element.
Yharon: Ascend.
I can't remember if there are others, but to my memory everyone else can at least in theory be killed conventionally.
Also what is leviathan? Is he a construct of the water elemental or is he smt else entirely
Intentionally left a mystery.
Hmm
Destroying all of Draedon's servers is quite the accomplishment
Especially if he ever manages to get through the astral infection to other planets
Literally the hardest thing to kill in calamity I would say
Xeroc is pretty up there in terms of hard to kill
Harder than destroying all Heat, or Air, or Water, or Earth, or Life?
At least in Xeroc's case, there is no reason to believe that someone sufficiently strong could kill them without them respawning/reforming/rebooting. Like, unless we were to make great assumptions like 'Xeroc lives so long as the sun exists' there's no reason why they can't be killed by killing them.
He wouldn't use the astral infection to get to other planets
He would probably use rockets for now until he develops actual teleporters for interstellar travel
Yeah, it's just that fighting the sun isn't very viable lmao
You misread, the astral infection is what's keeping him on terraria
He talks about it in his post exo convos
Well , it's more like he wants to learn a way to prevent it while it's still in space
As far as I know
Not that it's actively stopping him from leaving
'Once I have a firm grasp of the vast majority of this world's workings, I will focus my study on the Astral Infection's effects in hopes of finding a way to negate them permanently. When present on a planet, one simply could use a Clentaminator and the correct solution to remove the Astral Infection. In the vacuum of space, however, it makes for an irksome and tenacious obstacle. Ventures beyond Terraria would require preparation and appropriate countermeasures.'
It's very much an issue that he needs to solve before he can put his plans in motion.
Was just getting this quote myself haha
Hmm, I missed the second part
I knew the first part but my mind blanked on the second
(specifically the part about "ventures beyond terraria" onward)
I don't blame you, I only remember it because I literally just read that dialog earlier tonight
Er
Last night
I haven't slept yet
COMPLETE WITHOUT ISSUE
Why would Terrarian hate scoog? Are they a lizhard?
was hermes an actual guy if he has boots named after him
Sylvester Edward Hermes was the man who developed Yharim's transportation network that was crucial for supplying his troops with their supplies.
He was famed for wearing green, winged boots, which soon became a universal symbol for fast, reliable and efficient transportation.
Avatar of Emptiness scenario where he just rots when heat death happens
(I don't think that's what'd happen I think that's what's cool)
I mean AoE might've just destroyed his universe himself, we can't really know that ¯_(ツ)_/¯
IIRC the whole thing with AoE is the whole heat death thing yeah
Forget where I read that
Either way, he got that way from his universe's heat death even if he caused it himself
Also shoutout to Xeroc for clutching the save (rip solyn)
Xeroc?
You mean Nameless Deity.
Different guy.
Totally Not Xeroc TM
And it's not the Xeroc symbol.
In all seriousness, ND is directly based on old lore Xeroc, technically different guy but also not inaccurate to call him such
It is.
Ok dude
it was based on old-lore xeroc at first, at this point it's pretty much its own thing
WotG is also seperating from calamity
nd vastly different from the source
I really like the design of ND and AOE because of their otherworldly features such as having little to no pixel art in the character model, it really reflects the ascension beyond normal beings like the terrarian or Yharon
I think I'll just stop researching things and just ask people inane questions from now on since every single source I read from seems to be entirely outdated
the base calamity lore changes all the time, and WOTG and catalyst arent canon, but are offshoots or seperate timelines of the og lore
It doesn't 'change all the time'.
Not with this update schedule.
yeah I know about wotg not being canon and such, just tired of reading thing and then being told they're wrong in general
Yharim reworks?
Also, the others already have reworks underway.
Nor is this lore, in fact.
shit youre right
wrong, base lore hasn't changed in years
it just gets stuff added into it
lore
This community has a problem of just saying shit that's not true and has no source with 100% confidence

So I don't blame you
will we ever know and see everyone behind question marks(at least with concept art alone)
Maybe.
Maybe
But I am yet to meet god that can outsmart bullet.
the one on the left from ravager i think should be removed since ravager originated from agnus
Wait why are Dogma and War listed as alive?
Usually when it coems to bigger stuf, from what I've seen, it starts with a youtube video from a popular terraria modding creator claiming something that isn't true in the title for more views and then it spreads from there
hi cei!
But sometimes somebody will say say shit
cores of hive mind & perforators
I think being angry goop isn't quite living.
they are still being
Yeah for those two and Silva I feel like "Alive-ish" would be a better descriptor
By technical definition, they are alive
But just saying that they're alive with no elaboration is a little misleading
Put Dogma, War and Ravager as undead.
Do i do that
I haven't see you do that myself at least
Yays
also question about official silva’s design is she sticking her tongue out or are those her lips that look so wacky?
Silva does that for some reason.
she’s just a silly gal
asserting dominance over other gods
Is permafrost as strong as calamitas if he were to fight for whatever reason?
Fuck no
I've been in dozens of covnersations before that can be ultimately summed up as
"That's some nice lore, Senator. Why don't you back it up with a source?"
"MY SOURCE IS THAT I MADE IT THE FUCK U-"
Sliva 💚
No, but he's far more skilled.
still a bit tired and waking up a bit but yeah sure
excellent
fixed typo and cleared up alive-nes
Isn't Shakidou dead?
idunno
I presume so because
God
to tehcncially be fair, SG and Providence are also alive
What does “may have gotten domain from agnus” mean in the context of ravager
Tbf those two fled a lot
Cei
Is there a lore reason why only creatures from the distortion can make portals between the worlds?
Cei you rhyme with gay
Or is that a spoiler?
isnt ravager just agnus but now a dead monstrosity?
Yes
Wording makes it seem like someone ascended using agnus tho
Yeah, but why that changed the domain isn't clear.
Is it just a side effect of necromancy or was the followers sacrificing their lives what changed it and so on I presume.
you pronounce it diffferently from how i do then
I pronounce the c like a ch
Why though 
So it rhymes better with gay
Saying it like s or k feels weird
i pronounce her name like Say
it just feels right
Yeah exactly
CEI’s pronounciation is up to YOU
How do I know I have free will
LOL
simply hit yourself 
Is it not like Sai?
kay as in okay
British 💔
Im the brit
Scary
Get out.
at least they’re not french
Don't.
okie dokie
It sounds so intimidating since you punctuate every message
Why do you do that anyways?
Power.
Clarity.
Yeah but it has different connotations over messages
lwk every community
I've seen worse in other places. What you don't see in other places is people asking if fanfics are canon.
Now that I think about it, that probably happens to Undertale fans sometimes.
Idk I think Undertale is small and clear enough to know when it's a fanfic and when it's not
Minus Gaster shit probably
chara
another kilobyte for me :3
What does this MEAN
yharim calamity mod
jharim calamity's vanities
astrum deus should get a boss rework and become relevant
fight should be harder lowk getting all 4 frags in 1 boss is crazy
Good knews basically every boss gonna get a rework at some point
should become lore relevant because its like one of two bosses that survive
Not really its almost certainly a wild animal that just eats stars
its probably sentient just doesnt speak our language
Its not
If it was it wouldnt get infected
maybe
Not even a maybe it just wouldnt get infected if it was sapient
Also prob lacks vocal cords cause no air to talk
how does DOG talk
