I Can Only Assume Your Thoughts On The Soul Of Eternity

/j Grr angy they made the silly 2d block game WOKE HOW COULD THEY AHGGHHGG

Honestly people are weird no idea what their actual problem is.

People really getting butthurt over terraria… adding more voices?

Fair enough, use the system to cut out a bit of the grind

Mutant. Down.

aw yeah

a long long string of text under the cut.

mutant. man. i've always heard people talk about how good this fight is, and how they consider it one of if not THE BEST modded terraria boss fight. and, after experiencing it for myself, i would say that those claims have some serious merit.

mutant was awesome. i loved fighting him. the way it works with the flight-hover mechanic, the bullet hell-esque attacks, the way that you feel like you're mastering the boss more and more each attempt. somehow, someway, the devs behind this managed to create one of the BEST modded experiences with a character that looks like something i'd draw when i was 7. it's great. absolute cinema if you will.

my one and only complaint is that mutant does this funny thing where after attempting the boss something like 15 times, it skips the first phase and jumps straight to its second. this, to me, just doesn't feel right. it gives your successful attempt less merit. think about it--if you fuck up in the first phase, you lose health going into the second--encouraging the player to actually learn the first phase so they don't go into the second already crippled. but if you skip the first phase, all of the sudden you're always gonna go into the second phase will full health, no handicaps from any mistake you could've made whatsoever. it didn't feel like i beat mutant the first time i did, more like i just beat the second and desperation phase. luckily, i had to go back and fight it again with the same gear because it didn't drop enough Eternal Essence, so i was able to fully beat it from that. but still. not to mention that it just makes the fight unnecessarily shorter.

i mean, i get the idea behind it. you're fighting the boss for the 30th time, already mastered the first phase, and upset that it takes so long to get to the second to actually learn it. but i feel like this just isn't a viable solution to that. also Abominationn also has a weaker first phase and he doesn't have a phase skip. so idk what the problem is.

anyway. eternity mode was fun. shoutout for @kodithew for encouraging me to try it. (sorry for the mention but. yk.) i made the soul of eternity!! figure i should actually screenshot it but eh i already closed the game so. whatever.

i now sit atop the throne of the very few calamity players who have fully completed a mod unrelated to calamity. (well i mean i did mod of redemption before this but ehh i didn't like that one very much.)

i feel like people often claim that fargo is the go-to mod for players who want the same vibe as calamity, and i think that's a bit... oversimplified? like the two are fundamentally different experiences. you never had to collect 2,763 items from a completely different class just to make another stupid accessory that turns into a god. it's not a bad vibe---i personally enjoyed it a lot. (finally getting that warrior's soul or whatever it was was so satisfying.) it's different. and that's not a bad thing. might even be better. (fabsol, take notes, this is how you make a boss ya dunce.)

there's some more i wanna say but this post is getting LENGTHY. so to close this off, i really liked it :)

maybe ill try masochist mode one day. when i'm feeling masochistic. because brother i'm not touching this again for a long while that earlygame was PAIN.

anyway yeah. fun times. soul of eternity turned me into Jesus Christ himself

fuck this stupid worm I swear to god I went and got a sword that does almost 1000 damage and fires bouncy explosive bullets, a shotgun that shoots grenades that shake the screen and a staff that summons 3 daggers that fly around slicing and dicing shit and I have an armour set that has an ability that can turn all damage taken into healing and somehow it still finds a way to KO me

I say it and I'm not even from America!

Reblog if you say "Y'all"

this video has been going around for a while but the English subtitles didn't match the energy of the spoken French at all. i had to fix it.

reblog to spread this version

Hell yeah

Do it fucker

Terraria isn't a particularly hard game on a basic level, like, there are absolutely ways to make it hard, but in a basic sense, it really is not a particularly challenging experience

that is, if you have some level of experience

practically everything in Terraria operates on knowledge, like, I can reasonably consistently do things from vanilla Terraria without much issue primarily because I know what I'm doing - I know how to kill Skeletron and avoid the flying skulls, whereas very few new players would

without that knowledge, Terraria is far harder

while this idea of knowlwdge being related to difficulty is not unique to Terraria, other games, especially particularly technical ones, do have this (knowing how an ultra works completely changes the way you see speed tech in Celeste, for example), I feel as though it's a far smaller component of that difficulty

All september builds, including the moonlord shrine with additional monolith to add atmosphere.

And my favourite one, the museum.

(The lunatic cultist has no base yet, because I'm gonna use Eidolist brick, which is post-polterghast)

There's also an extra build I forgot to mention from last month because I wasn't on tumblr yet.

Finally killed king slime in the new calamity world, but people, when I tell you I had the most infuriating loss.

6 health

6

that motherfucker was literally LESS than a regular slime and he got away.

Either way, killed him, never have to worry about it again. On to the Eye, or possibly the brain, we'll have to see.
