Can You Beat Calamity Revengeance Mode as a Vanilla Terrarian? 

He didn't played *with* Calamity, he played *against* it

I might give it a try after this challenge is over. I've been stubbornly refusing to play with any kind of mod since Terraria 1.1 but back then the mods were way more rough. Thanks for the comment :)

@@potato4dawin1 so you are doing a challange for the mod,ruining your first impression by completly breaking the progression and spoiling most of the bosses?...yeah please dont,play the mod how it was intended first.

@@krzystajer5485 why should you care? if hes thoroughly enjoying the game like how it is, why should he play it with the "intentional game design" in mind? You are failing to take into account that hes not ruining it by playing like this. YOU just think he is, and judging by your negative response, you have played the game before. I personally adore the gameplay of calamity and QoL modded much more then the grindyness of vanilla terraria. I've for the first time watched "negative" content of modded by Sorbet Cafe on why he does not like modded terraria. makes some really convincing arguments for the grindyness of vanilla and mediumcore, not being objective bad but just majorly subjectively disliked. Ramble, but TL;DR: invalid criticism.

@@alexskv4644 okay,i agree with the most things said here,however i think he should play calamity normally first as the challange he is doing is extremly tedious and unfair ESPECIALLY at the post moon lord part of the game and im afraid he might ruin his experience.

I understand the lack of enjoyment after the first couple playthroughs. Once you learn the bosses and mechanics then it does get quite predictable but personally I like the feel of the vanilla mechanics, even corruption spread. Maybe I'm just crazy though.

“I hate terraria mechanics, and it lacks enjoyability” what a wild statement lol.

@@max7971 They feel super bland at this point. Calamity is so much fun because it feels like a story. The lore and the designs of the weoposn and bosses just feels so new no matter how much I play it.

​@@max7971 I think its more about vanilla terraria being really rough on replayability. All the bosses, including stuff like daytime empress are pretty much only hard once. After knowing the progression amd fights all that remains on subsequent playthroughs is the grind which is incredibly tedious and uneventful in vanilla. I think the game is great but the replayability is quite low if you're not into building

yup. a guy on the Terraria discord told me when I was asking about decompiling the mod.

yeah, RU-vid is all about "click through rate" and engagement. The last thumbnail looked great as a picture but it had purple colored The Hive Mind boss on the purple colored underground corruption background so it didn't stand out. Glad you liked the video. :D

I'll simply game harder. No problemo

@@potato4dawin1 Good luck my brother

Surprisingly, the zenith itself, without changes, is post-yharon appropriate on its own. It just had its recipe changed by the mod.

This is actually a good point. @potato4dawin When you get to it, I'd suggest avoiding using Zenith after Moon Lord as it is not in line with progression. Seeing you enjoy the boss fights, I think Zenith would ruin their difficulty after Moon Lord. Not sure what the appropriate approach is for this challenge though. Perhaps use Calamity weapons until you get to post-Yharon? Or try to get post-Yharon with only Moon Lord drop weapons if you want to go the extra masochism route 💀

@@Zoltekk1 It'd be quite the grind for Zenith anyway. I'd rather not over-prepare for a fight. Thanks for the info. :)
