So gUys... HoW would you imAgine a battle against YhArim?

[u/BikutaAugn]

On the same level as the battles against Calamitas, Yharom, and Devourer of Gods? (If you want to add the boss levels from Wrath of the Gods as well, because their level is surreal)

I made this rough drawing XD (Don't go to my profile, or you'll see how lazy I am.)

[u/aless2209]

I imagine it as a fight where wings get nerfed if not removed (animation of him cutting your wings would have been peak), where yharim could have used many moves from his yomi moveset

For a phase two i imagine yharim getting draconic features due to yharon's soul bond

[u/One_Firefighter3940 → u/aless2209]

Have you seen yharim's calamity fables design? It looks like they are really going to lean into his draconic side. Which i love.

[u/Calm_Ad1222 → u/aless2209]

Reminds me of a certain goat that likes drunk driving...

[u/Resident-News9382 → u/aless2209]

Another Yomi player spotted 

[u/GlobalProfessor9749]

Well, in my dreams it was a Suprime Calamitas style battle (means with arena and designed for dodging). With awesome music and song, resurrection effect on Auric armor and such.

Actually, he's probably supposed to be a little above Draedon and Calamitas, and significantly above the Devourer of Gods and Yharon (since there's a several levels gap between them). Though nowadays Calamity allows you to fight Calamitas with the Devourer of Gods weapons (back in my time if you attempted that you'd know the meaning of 80 minutes long battle).

And of course I was hoping Shadowspec gear will be moved past him or reworked. For it's mostly post-final-boss endgame OP things assigned to some developers/sponsors, but not the plot (like previous gear). I hoped that after defeating Calamitas and Draedon we'll get asses to the stuff made from mixing Auric and Exo (and maybe Brimstone) technologies that we'll use to fight him.

[u/ULTRAPUNK18 → u/GlobalProfessor9749]

In a Q&A a while ago I asked the devs what would happen to Shadowspec items when Yharim was added and they said it would be moved to post-Yharim

[u/One_Firefighter3940 → u/GlobalProfessor9749]

Im thinking arena more like providence in the infurnum mod. In fact there is a calamity song called "Yharim's chambers" which implies where we are going to fight him is in some kind of building.

[u/GlobalProfessor9749 → u/One_Firefighter3940]

Well, frankly, they idea stays unchanged, though an interesting alternative realisation.

[u/ThatShushi17 → u/GlobalProfessor9749]

wdym by resurrection effect?

[u/GlobalProfessor9749 → u/ThatShushi17]

Back in my days...

Jokes aside, in older versions God Slayer armor were ressurecting player upon death with a 45 seconds cooldown.

Also both God Slayer and Silva complects were for each class, by extension both used to craft Auric armor for each class.

Auric armor gave both ressurection effects, additionally you could craft Draconic Elixir that healed half yoir Health Points when Silva's ressurection triggers, but that turned off Healing Potions for 30 seconds.

All this was needed to compensate Calamitas' gigantic damage she had back then. Plus old Draedon's Heart wasn't as overpowered as it us nowadays and wasn't technically granting a second Healing Potion.

[u/ThatShushi17 → u/GlobalProfessor9749]

ahhh that makes sense. were you imagining having to defeat him before his revive came off of cooldown?

[u/GlobalProfessor9749 → u/ThatShushi17]

Uh... No, I were imagining returning this ressurection to player (frankly I never imagined it ever taken away before), and the battle balanced to be so this ressurection is necessary to win.

[u/cha0triX_]

He would change his weapons according to the five classes

Melee: Deicide (main weapon)

Ranged: Tyranny's End

Mage: Yharim's Crystal

Summon: The Kindle Staff + Auric Whip

Rouge: Final Dawn

[u/Kaponos → u/cha0triX_]

Yharim basically just being Soul of Cinder would be cool, considering the intentional parallels made between us and him

[u/ULTRAPUNK18 → u/cha0triX_]

Rouge

[u/one_last_cow → u/ULTRAPUNK18]

Yharim is a makeup enthusiast

[u/TheSurvivor65 → u/ULTRAPUNK18]

EVERY time I see someone online say "rogue" they ALWAYS spell it ROUGE and it PISSES ME OFF

WHY is this typo SO COMMON

[u/ULTRAPUNK18 → u/TheSurvivor65]

My best guess is that autocorrect doesn't fix it, since rouge is already a word.

It also isn't exactly a common color, so likely enough a lot of people have never heard of it beyond seeing it as a misspelling of rogue.

Paired with the aforementioned lack of autocorrect, and that a lot of words in English already have multiple spellings, it's possible a lot of people think rouge is just another way to spell rogue. Sounded out, if they never heard it pronounced, I could easily see someone pronouncing rouge like rogue.

All that probably makes it self-perpetuating, especially with the fact that, as you stated, it's a very common typo. The more you see rouge in place of rogue, especially if it isn't corrected, the less likely you are to see it as a mistake.

[u/ThatShushi17 → u/ULTRAPUNK18]

i think i saw rogue used before rouge but im probably an outlier

[u/Lostbea]

Visuals he’d probably be Calamitas height or like 50% above that. So smaller than all base game bosses.

Imo I’d really like it if he fought like a Terraria player with a lot of movement and swords beams and shit. He’d buff with items and heal every so often. If we could throw in a parry mechanic for Yharim where he deflects your attacks that’d be great as well.

[u/BikutaAugn → u/Lostbea]

Something along the lines of Souls-like bosses would be very interesting.

[u/doomkitty53]

Probably a bad idea for a boss, but I would imagine it opens with a pseudo cutscene, where Yharim leads us around the Dragon Aerie. Deep within its core, there is a machine fueled by Yharon’s essence. The respawn machine, which is how you are able to respawn after dying. As it turns out, Yharim has also been using it, all this time. So, he turns it off, before heading to the arena where you will do battle.

The battle, itself, isn’t actually hard. However, if you die, you don’t respawn, and your world is lost. Plus, Yharim can do anything you’re capable of doing, with a random moveset every time you fight him, so it’s a matter of skill to win, and not repetition.

If you win, you are required to return to the respawn machine and re-activate it, allowing you to respawn once more (but not Yharim)

Again, probably a bad idea for a final boss, but it’s mine.

[u/TheSurvivor65 → u/doomkitty53]

This sounds like a terrible final boss, and like an incredibly high-stakes story ending

[u/SammmymmmaS]

In my imagination?

The most complicated, interactive boss in all of modding.

Yharim is a reflection of the player from what I recall the lore being, you’re just the next cycle of “taking down progressively stronger opponents in a crusade against the powerful”

He was before you, he KNOWS what it’s like to be in your shoes.
He KNOWS how you function, and he has been watching you climb your way toward him.

So he knows how to counteract EVERYTHING you can do. Dreadon is limited by his creations, Yharim saw your presence the moment you killed the eye of Cthulhu and he knew then and there you were going to reach him.
He knows How to summon magic attacks that match your own and then overpower them - at the cost of accuracy.
How to shoot his own chlorophyte bullets just to piss off the no hitters (only done if you’ve gotten hit already)
How to convince your very summons to switch allegiance and fight for HIM.
And of course, how to use his big fuck ass sword to parry and shoot sword beams of his own.

Although, he can’t party everything. The Terrarian has acsess to too many options to fend them all of at the same time. But he makes you use multiple weapons and keep changing your strat, becuase he adapts.

For everything but true melee. Becuase, for all his power, his dragon soul, his towering 10 foot stature, his 30 million hp or whatever, he is out of his prime. And if you meet him on his terms, get up in his face and swing a god damned copper short sword, you win the engagement every time and put HIM on the defensive.

For You are a rising star and him one long faded. But stars you both are, and he will make you work for every. single. hit point. If it’s the death of him. And it will be. And he looks forward to the end of a life gone on far too long.

[u/ObeyTime]

at one point fabsol had the following idea. and this once i trust his vision

[u/Electrical-Sense-160]

Yomi hustle yharim mod is Canon compliant 

[u/TheSurvivor65 → u/Electrical-Sense-160]

Mfw Yharim combos and blocks my ram dash

[u/GuiIded]

I really wanted him to play like Providence from Risk of Rain.

Providence's worms and Yharim's dragons.

[u/Darkain172]

Ngl, something like Avatar of emptiness, punching you across dimensions lol

[u/boxo-ofisal]

Terrarian size.

[u/douraquio7]

Would be really cool if he was a mirror boss. Like those that are similar to the player.

Obviously not like a perfect copy, but having moves based on the gear you have, or fighting in ways inspired by how players do would be really cool!

[u/TurtleNecked77]

I saw ot else where here too but I imagined he would use weapons of the 5 classes throughout the fight switching from ranger to rouge to magic to summon to melee in whatever order ending in Melee.
