I would say the final theory is pretty wrong. Terraria's lore states "Cthulhu sought to bring about destruction and domination, before an ancient race of Dryads waged war against it and crippled it by ripping out its organs. Cthulhu then retreated to the Moon to heal and prepare for its next attack." And due to the Engineer's quotes the Lunatic Cultist wanted to heal Cthulhu by making mechanical parts aka the 3 mechanical bosses. So we saved Terraria by killing Cthulhu. Also Redigit, the owner of Terraria, stated that Moonlord is Cthulhu. Meaning we are the heroes saving Terraria. As for why the lihzahrds attack you that is simple. They are acting out of fear. In the end credits we see the Witch Docter and Princess make peace with a few lihzahrds. The Pillars could be a seal on Cthulhu made by the Dryads. This could be confirmed because when you kill Lunatic Cultist's followers he shatters a Celestial Sigil, interestingly the sigil has none of the Pillars' dust that we need to summon him. However we aren't evil for killing the Pillars. Their Bestiary states them as "terrifying tyrants". There will most likely be ANOTHER last update (Who knows if it is really the final one) and we might get more lore from it. Who knows.

[@silverstorm9561]

half-incorrect actually about the pillars, ill use the solar pillar's bestiary entry as an example: "Representing a flaming celestial event known as 'solar flares', this tower holds the seal locking away a terrifying tyrant." no where has it ever stated that the pillars themselves are the tyrants. it's directly referring to them sealing the squid god away, but true that the player isn't evil for doing so, the only reason they have to be destroyed is so the player can officially destroy the squid god since the dryads couldn't prior to the events of the game!

[@oystersaucee_]

I am agreeing on all of this exept the lihzard part because at the end of the story ( after moonlord ) you can see the witch doctor being friendly with 2 of them for some reason. And yet still we made peace by killing the bosses. I think the starting point for all of the lore is at the ending where everyone is happy and try to piece things together

[@Sketch4080]

But the game also refers to things like the eye of cthulu as an "evil presence" and the moon lord as "impending doom" so then wouldn't we seemingly be doing the right thing by removing them? Also when we kill plantera the spread of what we know as the "evil biomes" halves so knowing that these biomes are cursed and evil aren't we doing the right thing by removing plantera? The old man who has been cursed by skeletron insists that we remove his curse and kill skeletron and the dryad is insistent that we cleanse the corruption/crimson so I do think in some circumstances we're being the hero we were meant to be. And maybe the reason we can't leave is because it's like a dark souls scenario where you have been chosen to be the one to cleanse the evil from that world and you're binded to that plane of existence well the others are not

[@aaronyc2011]

@ABoyWhoLovesBalloon First, I believe that if we are evil, the guides do not really know it. Sure, we burned a guide, but do the others know it was us that caused it? For all they know, a devil could have accidentally dropped the doll into lava (if that’s even possible in lore). Plus, I believe the reason why DG doesn’t attack us is because the DG is the old man. He says “I cannot let you pass until you’ve defeated my master” or something like that. The old man doesn’t stop you, but DG does. Freeing the old man from skeletron is undoubtedly a heroic act, causing him to allow entrance to the dungeon. I feel the player is more neutral, doing bad at times, and doing good at time

I always believed that the reason you can only fight the cultist after Golem is because Golem is somehow connected to the sun, explaining the sun-related abilities and drops. While this would not make sense bc the empress of light should be this sun god, keep in mind the empress is stated to be a tyrant controlling the hallowed forces, so while its not controlling light itself its controlling forces of light. Anyway, back to golem, the process of killing him causes the cultist to spawn because you “killed the sun” in a way, which is why the “lunatic” culstist summons the “lunar” pillars and then the “moon” lord, because now all thats left in power is the moon.

[@JackstarStudios]

This is a great theory, other than the fact that the moon lord is literally Cthulhu, an ancient god of destruction who most definitely caused the residents of the dungeon to go mad and as such they kidnap the mechanic to reconstruct Cthulhu's body with robotics. The world is already out of balance when we arrive, the corruption/crimson is already spreading and there are zombies just walking around. If something I said here was wrong feel free to correct me, but I'm about 99.9% sure we are the good guy in Terraria.

[@CarlosSilva-bh4bi]

The party girl mentions Swedden, so yeah, Terraria is an Island or a continent, thats all But in my opinion, what happened must have been something less extreme, maybe that the world were messed up by Chuthulu and that the people got or cursed, under his control or unafected, then, the people that survived became objectives of the _Cultists_ and maddened people. The people got so mad that they became skeleton or were affected by things like Zombification easily, so then... The cultists basically workshipped Chuthulu and I think that maybe the corruption is a plague made by him, maybe a way to wipe out the life and get the planet for itself, being his choice what we make in the start. Cancer to kill all life, or a parasite to asimilate it all. Then, whith that said, it makes sense that the civilations of "terraria" survived, and then the corruptions we se are thr over concentrated corruption that refuses to die aganist the forces of nature, then in hardmode it expands thanks to the souls, being able to resist the pressure again and creating the hallow indirectly as an overload of light made by the sudden absence of shadows absorbed by the sick lands. The terrarian just does not have a resason or meddium to leave his homeland, that is all And maybe after the moonlord, then, maybe, things like Lycans afected by the moon got mad as well because of its influence, being the reason of why they attack you and why they seem to be corrupted even if the terrarian can control themself, being that they got it naturally instead of using a magical item, so they become vulnerable to the Moonlord.

[@oneguy9349]

Alright, my own theory: So we already know that the entire Terraria world is much bigger than the small little island we spawn on. So why can't we go outside it? Here's what i think: *We are not supposed to. For we are the guardian that was tasked with the mission to protect the entire world from the outer/evil forces. And the island we're spawn on is the beacon where the world attracts these forces the most.* Let me elaborate: Eyes of Cthulu, Brain of Cthulu, Eater of Worlds, Skeletron, and all of their mechanical forms, were spawn on this island, through the many weird phenomena happening such as the corruption, the crimson, or the many experiment of the cult. These are all forces that threaten the balance of the world. And it did, however it was stopped by the dryads, and possibly a lot of others that we might not know about, but even after they stopped it, it never truly died, and will keeps growing by the day, while the defenders of the world was absolutely crippled after the war. So someone have to come up with a solution. That solution was us. We were created somehow, maybe normal birth, artifical, magic? Who knows, and it doesn't matter. What matters is that we were created as a weapon, a guardian to defend the world *at any cost*. Which means that we are allowed to do anything, as long as we can stopped these forces from spreading across the land, through the sea and making it out to the bigger world, whether it's giant monsters, aliens, funny pumpkin, or Cthulu, lord of the Moons. These are all to be exterminated the moment they went out of control, no matter what. Getting equipment, invasing habitats, murdering creatures are all to serves this one purpose. We are the guardian that ultimately serves to defend the world, even if it means cutting losses and making sacrifice. And this also explained why we can't leave the island, this area is our jurisdiction. We aren't allowed to just leave it. The best example i can think of, is the Moon Lord. Think about it, if we really are doing the best for our world, why the fuck are we summoning an outer evil moon god? *Because if we doesn't, someone else will eventually. And their version of the Moon Lord is going to be much more dangerous than the one we fought.* Why am i so sure about this? Because the Moon Lord we fought is clearly incompleted, half of its body is missing, only the ribcage remain of the lower body, it's brain was exposed out in the wind, arms barely able to move... Which means that we didn't help summoning it, but rather, rushed the process by killing the cult members, so that it was crippled on summoned, and much more efficent to kill. That is an act of a guardian, willing to take the most optimized route to protect the world, no matter how unethical it may seems. We are not the good guy, we are not the bad guy, we are just someone with a mission, doing what we deem are for the best.

[@popsicle_pal]

I really like this theory and wish that terraria rolled with it in future updates leaving more hints. also I think it would be cool if after dyeing to the moonlord instead of saying you were slain it said something like "what are you doing!?" or "This wasn't meant to happen...".

I don't like this theory due to evidence countering it. The corruption and crimison are considered diseases on the world itself. If not for the terrarian, then Cthulhu would of been healed, and the hallow itself is not only a place where npcs can live but some it's their favorite place to live.

Dungeon has evil energy and the skeleton of their god. The curse is because the dryads sealed the moon lord, and they're trying to break that seal and summon him.

I mean, thing is, this still does feel a bit too... Simple. If we're really growing so powerful, why can't we just... Break that barrier too? Plus, there's the post-credits. All the characters here look quite fine. There's also the fact that evil biomes could theoretically spread to the entirety of the surface world, even if you don't kill the wall of flesh, destroying the ecosystem there too. After all, it *is* one of the goals in the game to destroy - or at least contain - the world evil. There's also the fact that I wouldn't really say we're... 'going mad', either. We're still perfectly in control, after all. We're never 'reminded' of that madness unless we kill the pillars again. No pop-up messages, no debuffs, no nothing. There's also the fact that we don't actually keep looking for more challenges after the moon lord (unless you go meta and mention seeds, higher difficulties, etc). All we did was follow the guide and his prophecy. Most people will end up in a fight with the wall of flesh by accident. Plus... I don't think disrupting the gods' order is particularly evil when they went and destroyed an entire civilization instead of just... Stopping their growth. Nothing that we do actually leads to the eradication of everything or whatever. I'd even wager to say that doing nothing, letting the world follow its course, would end pretty badly, if you see how the world evil spreads regardless.

WAIT WHAT IF ALL THE CANCELED TERRARIA MOBS ARE BEHIND THE BORDER Sounds like a good idea i think MAKE IT A MOD!!!!

[@FakeStuff5]

While i like the theory it doesnt really explained the dryads and what they stod for. Some of what your saying makes sense but the witch doctor and the lizards not being friendly could just be that they grew up differently since there isnt a way out of the temple exept if you have the key. Where do you get the key? Plantera who most likely made Plantera? The dryads. Stuff like that. Also the line "Be safe, Terraria needs you" could kinda debunk the theory

[@JakePlays8190]

This is such a good theory mattpat would be proud

[@italiancat.5202]

You got me so fcking exited with the distant lands idea. I started imagining Terraria 2 with a huge world full of biomes and structures like sea cities with pirates or underground cities with goblins

[@pyropulseIXXI]

The "we are the evil one" is super shallow masquerading as deep thought

[@danolantern6030]

A few things about this i’d like to say 1. It is rather interesting to think that the gods could’ve cursed this civilization to go mad,but i don’t really think it’s that. I mean,Cthulhu canonically exists in the Terraria universe,so it might be once Cthulhu,now banished Moon Lord attempting to contact the denizens of the city to help it,but causing most of them to go cuckoo crazy. Even the Old Man,who was unfazed,was struck by the curse to make it him the Dungeon’s Guardian,utilizing a mix of his skeleton and Cthulhu’s skeletal remains. 2. While the Goblin Tinkerer is a deserter to his own people, it can’t quite be that the Pirate Captain and the Witch Doctor must be so. A loading tip states that Pirates are unpredictable, being why the Captain moved in, and it wouldn’t be out of the question that they fight amongst each other,likely in sorts of ‘clans’. The Witch Doctor may have been playing with strange forces,and it might’ve upset the Lihzahrds,believing their Witch Doctor to be evil. He doesn’t resent them for this, however, knowing what he did, but attacking them out of self defense. 3. The Moon Lord is Cthulhu. They are not like Minos from Dante’s Inferno,the Judge of Hell. They are Lucifer,the ultimate prisoner of it. We do disrupt quite a few guardians of the world,but we destroy just as many of its evils. We kill the first of the many malices from Cthulhu, the Eye of Cthulhu,whose was his watcher. We slay the culmination of the world’s evils - The Brain of Cthulhu or the World Eater - We defeat the Dungeon Guardian Skeletron,and free the Old Man from their curse. We further terminate the attempts of Cthulhu to ressurect themselves,obliterating the Mechs. We stop the Lunatic Cultist’s rituals,and at the end of the game,after an ultimate ‘immunological response’ from the worlds as the Celestial Pillars,we destroy Cthulhu himself,now a hollow husk of what they were. And we dominate them,turning them into the ultimate tortured of Terraria, a puppet that attempted to defy the gods,and lost. Truly,if we were the evil of Terraria,the gods would’ve smited us long ago. Thanks for coming to my Tedtalk,and i’ll see you in the next one.

"Few things" *_*writes essay*_*

[@ixatervy]

That’s not going to stop others from speedrunning it

[@sethdoud3213]

I think the terrarian is a piece of a fallen god that has been sent there to take down the immortal moon lord since only gods can kill gods

[@BerkeLy2003]

I love the lore theorizing you have here, cannot wait to see what you'd make.

[@wagabomb8524]

I guess the gods cursed me because when i got on my terraria world my whole inventory with a LOT of good stuff disappeared.

[@Kit_Rivers]

i always thought the fact that a goblin army, pirates and aliens existing as an event was pretty strange considering our *seemingly* limited world space. so i imagined that there was more going on then what meets the eye!

[@kechef]

9:30 and the hallow infection’s goal is to remove impurities and dangerous creatures,and you.

[@Astral_Drago]

That doesn’t explain why enemies attack us right when we spawn in. If they truly were trying to kill us because we were destroying the world then they wouldn’t attack until we do something.

[@doge8346]

so your telling me, when the dungeon was still a thriving city, god straight up went "noah, get the boat"

[@Baguette_French]

If Terraria worlds are one whole, then why does the dryad say "Your world is blah blah blah". So maby that means that we already destroyed the other worlds or they got corrupted??? Or idk maby it's all an illusion?

[@chaitanyalimaye463]

one of the lines of the stylist were about people partying hard in Sweden so it exist on earth

[@popanda3652]

The invasion events also point torward other land masses. Where do the pirates go between raids, where do the goblins live etc. In order for something to be an invasion it has to originate somewhere

[@Temmie-Edits]

My theory is Lunatic cultis is the successful one becouse the only creature i can think of that bow to the gods is Lunatic cultis.

[@Not_So_Average]

Yerdseil: You are ruining the natural balance, killing the guardians of evil, and going completely mad! Please stop! Me clicking buttons on the couch: OH WELL

[@wasd30cc]

then why is the terrain destroying the corruption? its a cancer made of sins, and the crimson is trying to kill all for no reason, so is the terrain a good guy?

[@MidnightNeonLabs]

Legend says Yerdstail venture behind the border into other dimension and never make it back. Where are you dude? It's been a year now.

[@SquareBlock5]

He has a new channel called “Learn by Leo”

[@b_red6206]

i was reality was watching the calamity mod video and i got intrested and check your channel and i saw that u just posted a new video im glad im here in the right time i am a new fan of yours and will be forever

[@WeredogCanivir]

And then there is modded Terraria, where you settle the debts of a freeloader, and kill chaos gods because someone else was too lazy.

[@shugeetunner9208]

Thats one way to think of the world border... my theory is that the gods know we can go through different worlds but to keep the rest of everything safe they employe a border... and the traveling merchant goes to other worlds and the merchant can sell dirt blocks to stardew valley and other places because portals to other games exist in terraria heck king slime has been in other games along with the twins and eye of cuthulu (sorry for the butcher)

[@Superohno]

Sometimes in a terraria world you can go pass the world border but your camera wont go with you Only on console maybe

[@bsheck7243]

The whole “You are the bad guy” theory falls apart because of the Dryad and Lantern Nights

[@KiaAzad]

Earlier I was thinking about something similar. We, as the player, are able to jump from world to world easily, and reek havoc everywhere we go, but feels like something is confining us to live the same scenario over and over, groundhog day style. We have access to world seeds that are completely different too. Maybe we're just another NPC?

[@max-abobea]

We're not NPCs because we go out to kill stuff, but normal NPCs stay at home and sometimes go out to die

[@KiaAzad]

@@max-abobea NPCs do kill too, there's even videos of them killing bosses and finishing the game.

[@lisiabecker6475]

never played this game, never got interested, but got intrigued by this video lol

[@aginger-ph8cl]

3:30 the sounds of construction is the kidnapped Mechanic making the Mech. Bosses and their summons. I think.

[@archdeathang3I]

what if our Terraria worlds is in the same planet as us but it's like north sentinel island that is prohibited to be traveled to

[@Cyrus_T_Laserpunch]

I personally think the Witch Doctor not being friendly with other Lihzards is just because the developers didn't program that in. The skeleton merchant will reasonably be expected to encounter several skeletons in his normal spawn areas, but they didn't anticipate anyone trying to move the Witch Doctor into a house in the Temple.

[@brainiacfortnite5523]

I've always wondered why Corrupt/Crimson and Hallowed enemies team up to fight you instead of going against eachother like they're meant to

[@zayanchowdhery7652]

This video was very intreasting to watch, you gained a new sub!

[@GenericSquareGD]

Your videos are AMAZING man! You deserve at least 100k subs

[@fortifyxinfinity2814]

I think of it more like attack on titan. you have this world (the world you spawn in), where you go about playing the game and expanding your civilization, and the other parts of the world are seeking to destroy you, which is where the bosses and invasions come from, and you and your npcs have no idea what’s out there and what’s coming for you next

[@TJ-hg6op]

Perhaps there is a variety a of islands each of them being their own “worlds.” That would explain the overseas lines, the pirates, the goblins, and more.

[@cedrick7217]

The eater of worlds-guardian of the corruption The Destroyer- a mechanical guardian The player-destroyer of worlds

[@ooshgooch7671]

The construction noises from the dungeon are actually the sounds of the mech bosses being built

[@dimitrivarias8914]

the theory of other worlds and societies would be a really good fit and would give the devs a launching point for terraria 2

[@bucketman845]

Two things,the engineer was kidnapped and forced to rebuild the bosses in the dungeon by the squid man cult. Also the cult cast the curse

[@KwikBR]

even though it's official, it's still by the guides which can only observe, and don't know the full story. i think the cultists were stopping cthulu

[@sebzero6200]

Honestly the whole island thing would be a really cool thing for the devs to implement into terraria 2

[@llamascheese8972]

Infinite number of worlds refers to the fact that there are infinite spawns. it's that simple
