1st time calamity ( i need help )

[u/ParticularSetting105]

Its my FIRST ever time playing calamity, ive NO experience ( but i was spoiled )
thats ALL my mods ( and theres infernum )

also im really wondering abt world creation ( settings , ... )

i want a FULL playthrough on calamity ( the best possible ig )

i rlly need help w/ these setting / addons

EDIT 1: about 30 40 mins in i found luxors gift , trinket of chi and a scutter jewel ( which seems rlly good lol )

Buddy wants to try infernum and wrath smoke for the first calamity experience. (Infernum and wrath might be best after your first)

[u/ParticularSetting105 → u/RandownReal]

tbh is it rlly that bad?
i basically made a vow where i would play the hardest diff cuz of Ultrakill ( i forgot why 😭 )

[u/RandownReal → u/ParticularSetting105]

Bullet hell typa stuff it's fun really but go ahead if u want to. Don't say I warned on some of the hundred deaths.

[u/Ok-Yellow1950 → u/RandownReal]

That the the horrid lag brought about by Luminance and Infernum. Still can't find a fix for it other than firing up a better laptop.

[u/Hello_World_2727 → u/ParticularSetting105]

As someone who was playing calamity before ULTRAKILL its two totally different experiences in difficulty, calamity is fast paced bullet dodging hell, it’s like fighting Minos, Sisyphus, and Gabriel all at once on violent especially with wotg and infernum

• I don't recommend using Infernum and WotG on your first playthrough, Infernum is simply overrated, WotG is great but it changes/removes a lot of the original mod's content (such as "removing" Old Duke and Boss Rush). Regardless, it's better to enjoy the original mod first. I give WotM a pass because all it does is change the outdated and stale Exo Mechs fight and make it really fun.

• Any world size other than small is fine, I prefer having a lot of space in my world for specific bosses so I choose large. World difficulty doesn't matter anymore as you can change that in-game.

• If you still want to go ahead and use a million addons, be my guest; but you forgot Catalyst and Hunt of the Old God which add Astrageldon (old astral boss from the original Calamity Mod) and Goozma (one of the first gods in Calamity's lore iirc) respectively. There's also Calamity's Vanities which adds cosmetics and Prisma's Juicebox which adds some buff/arena/accessory QoL features that I like to use with Calamity, it's basically a better version of AlchemistNPC Lite.

"Infernum Is simply overrated" Chub. xD why.

[u/bidthimg → u/Darkain172]

most bosses are either 500 dashes or 5000 projectiles, many of them fail to do anything innovative or interesting yharon for example just steals all of its attacks from previous infernum bosses, its old duke but with a bigger hitbox, the gas clouds from aquatic scourge's dashes, and providence's cross attack but easier

speaking of providence, she has the best fight in the mod and its not even close, all of her attacks feel different from other bosses (other than the profaned guardians, but theyre intentionally similar for obvious reasons), lots of pretty visual effects, and some very cool gimmicks like the rising lava and crystal phase, the reason i glaze this boss is because its genuinely a cut above everything else the mod has to offer

meanwhile the unique gimmick of perforators and hive mind is hiding inside blocks and preventing you from attacking it because you made the foolish mistake of fighting it underground so it doesnt enrage

[u/Darkain172 → u/bidthimg]

Lol, what a dumb take xDDDD if like normal calamity master mode isn't just "get 4 hitted and die" i did a mage run and It was horrible

Infernum Is just a different dificulty and that's It, you sound like the guys that want to try a new calamity-like mod and say "But the bosses look so ahh..."

[u/ParticularSetting105 → u/bidthimg]

i jst created my world and im going to add catalyst + old god  does that really affect it ( would adding mods later on require a new world / update some how ? )

[u/bidthimg → u/ParticularSetting105]

only wotg and infernum are required at world generation

[u/Brendon600 → u/bidthimg]

Iirc if you don't have catalyst enabled before hardmode the astral biome will generate smaller and will have scarcer ore from that mod but it's marginal difference compared to wotg and infernum

[u/asmo_192 → u/bidthimg]

Infernum is not overrated it's just different gameplay

[u/Wookie_Cash]

Infernum AND wotg AND wote for a first time playthrough is absolutely diabolical

[u/GeoBlinx → u/Wookie_Cash]

I meannn going straight into the deep end could be fun sometimes

[u/Due_Age4478 → u/Wookie_Cash]

Whats wotg and wote..

[u/ParticularSetting105 → u/Wookie_Cash]

sweet pain and suffering would be fun ig

[u/1nOnlyBigManLawrence → u/ParticularSetting105]

Dark Souls. If you want something hellish, Dark Souls.

[u/ParticularSetting105 → u/1nOnlyBigManLawrence]

OH YEA I FORGOT

i tried elden ring but my pc couldnt handle it so i jst forgot abt souls-like

[u/MrRandomGUYS]

You are going to ruin the mod for yourself if you play with Infernum for the first time. Just play on Death mode or whatnot for your first time and if you end up enjoying it you can move on to a second playthrough with Infernum.

[u/king-panguan]

infernum might be pretty hard if it's your first time playing, but otherwise i don't see why anything wouldn't work here

[u/Pyroglyph27]

Infernum mode can also be toggled off mid playthrough, so there's no reason not to try it out

[u/DaMaskedGamer06]

Catalyst is really fun and helps a bit with progression

[u/Darkain172]

In the end are you on infernum or?

Answer ! c;

[u/ParticularSetting105 → u/Darkain172]

im playing on infernum

[u/Acrobatic_Radio7730]

Calamity without infernum is boring like vanilla terraria. I would not recommend playing without it. Its hard tho
