A Beginners Guide to the Terraria Calamity Mod

[@Obsoleek]

Will you guys be trying the Calamity mod?

[@Lolp]

No. My laptop can’t handle it.

[@Obsoleek]

@@Lolp aw :( My old computer had the same problem, I feel that

Not just terrraria most games. It’s rlly slow

very good guide and yes i am currently suffering in calamity wanna play together maybe someday cuz i dont have any1 to play calamity with

[@Obsoleek]

ahh I see, one day I hope ya get to play :)

[@gold_me]

One note about the rage bar, you can fill it by dealing true melee damage, but it does NOT have to be a true melee weapon, it just won't count if the projectile from the weapon hits, but using it as a sword for true melee will fill your rage bar.

[@Obsoleek]

ooo thank you for the correction on that!

[@sitter2207]

that's how i thought it would work, thanks for correction

@@princessazula7676 actually in the official lore it reveals it is Cthulhu, the Dryads hurt him very badly taking out his eye, brain, skeleton ect before the dryads getting almost extinced forcing him to fleeing to moon to heal becoming the Moon Lord, also tiny extra lore is that the mechanic was captured by the Lunatic Cultists and forced her to make the mechanical bosses to make Cthulhu extremely powerful and had made all of them except for the mechanical brain before we saved her

[@rikex7554]

So, as let's say calamity mod veteran (playing since late 2017-early 2018) this is honestly one of the best guides out there. Just a bit of advice for the newer players. The mode exceeds at high risk high reward playstyle so never stop until you win, and it will happen (might take months tho)

[@Obsoleek]

holy thank you so much that means a ton :) Out of curiosity, what do you remember from back when you first started? Was the game very WIP or was it like pretty similar to the mod we have today? I got into the mod roughly 6 months or so ago, so I am pretty fresh in the community.

[@rikex7554]

@@Obsoleek honestly, it felt a little rough and weird, to the point where playing the mod wasnt as rewarding as it is now, since everything was so unbalanced

[@Obsoleek]

RiKeX I see, i imagine that back then scal wasn’t in the game ? i bet that when they added her it was nuts

[@rikex7554]

@@Obsoleek Nah scal was in the game, but the real nuts boss fight was yharon who was so much stronger than he is now

Quit bc yharon second phase I got to like 100k hp then he slays me and my friend

[@OneOnlyDan]

Warning to those who are new to modding: DO NOT use Magic Storage if you plan to play through Calamity on a server. The mod have had issues with multiplayer for a very long time now, and if you use it online you run a high risk of your world getting corrupt at some point and your storage together with all the nearby terrain getting permanently deleted from your world. Regular backups can sorta get you around this problem, but only if you don't mind redoing a bunch of stuff again when the issue does occur.

[@flyingcat5468]

second note: i've noticed this usually isn't an issue with your standard co-op self hosting. never had an issue with it when playing with only one or two people

[@Kegnick]

Third note, playin with 3 to 4 people nothing seems wrong for 2 weeks.

[@TheVictor126]

As an alternative for Magic Storage I would recommend the mod "where's my items" instead, it works just like a search bar for nerby chests so you can just make an area dedicated to chests then craft stuff normally, and it won't corrupt your world

[@OneOnlyDan]

@@somenameidk5278 Then the question is just how big one "region" is. Does it refer to just the immediate surroundings, or does it cover several hundreds of squared blocks?

[@DerpyNub]

@@OneOnlyDan yeah the question is how much is too much

[@spiltlava9699]

I already finished calamity with death mode, revengeance, and defiled, all active so I loaded thorium and basically I was like : Hmmm big bird go die with minigun ( Big Bird is grand thunderbird )

[@JewelMuncher]

You can try adding shadows of abaddon once it comes out for 1.4, the art is really good and most of the bosses/gears are calamity level (probably won't even be a challenge for you but it might be fun) I don't know if the bosses will get harder with revengeance mode or death mode tough

[@gaetanoaltese3029]

This is the first time I'm trying the mod, what do you recommend selecting when creating the world? normal expert or master?

[@clintborasio8701]

Your recommendation of other mods really has helped me enjoy my playthrough of calamity a lot more, thanks!

[@Obsoleek]

Glad I could help!

[@oweeb5909]

Completely agree with 10:02, took me and my friend 20 tries for the plague bringer but once we did it, it was such a feeling.

[@tayoffbeat]

Played calamity before watching this video and put it on the max difficulty. I got absolutely rekt

[@Obsoleek]

Tay i definitely would recommend starting on expert and rev enabled , anything more and it’s gonna be real rough

[@mr.leeleeleee7153]

Here's the best piece of advice for Calamity: Don't get involved with the community,it's toxic af.

[@Obsoleek]

Community can be a bit rough at times :(

[@Ballingokustate]

How so?

[@Obsoleek]

@@Ballingokustate The community can be a little mean at times and have made some people (DM Dokuro) quit making music for the mod

[@NT-sx2bd]

Please remember that NOT ALL of the community is toxic, you can get involved and ignore or not see the bad eggs in the fandom. Those who have been toxic do not mean the Calamity mods fandom are all toxic, they area a minority, stop generalizing.

of course! i used to struggle with all bosses in revengeance and now i can do them in death mode no problem :)

[@jordan_cagle]

I just beat calamity on Revengeance difficulty. Surprisingly the last 2 bosses where not actually that bad. It took me 2 tries for the exo mecs and about 5 for the last boss. Now to try it again but with a different class (I did mage)

[@twelvesevven4678]

Really great video. Nice pacing and I'm left with no questions. Spoiler free, too. I lied; I have one question. I've never used a Terraria Mod. Is Calamity 'the best'? I don't have the free time to try all available content mods, so I'm just wondering how this compares to others. A reply would be appreciated :))

[@Obsoleek]

Calamity is a very good one in my opinion, I think it was a insane experience. I would look into Calamity, Thorium, and Fargos Soul Mod, and see what one strikes you the most. Thorium is more like vanilla, and then both calamity and fargos soul mod are both difficult mods that change the game more drastically.

[@Adammoooooo]

It’s absolutely the best I don’t understand the hype around other content mods compared to it.

[@orinahari8373]

I used to play calamity with shadows of abaddon and i had a lot of problems killing the bosses with calamity gear, (mostly because I'm not very good at fighting but lets ignore that) and some of the SoA gear was calamity-level if not even stronger sometimes. So yeah, once it comes for 1.4 I'd recommend to play calamity+SoA

Can you play in revengance mode if the world is expert but your character is classic ( or whatever it’s called where you only lose gold on death)?

[@Obsoleek]

yes! that is fine, as long as its expert. You may have to spawn in the revengeance difficulty enabler as you normally get it inside the starter bag that you get as a new player with the mod, so you could just spawn in that starter bag as well.

I need some advice. I’ve beaten vanilla expert mode on Xbox but not pc. I just recently got the pc version of terraria specifically to play mods. Do you think revengeance mode will be too difficult? Keep in mind that I only have about an hour of play time on pc Terraria. Also is the magic storage mod glitched in single player too? I’ve seen some comments saying that it’s glitched in multiplayer and I want to use it only if there’s no risk.
