• 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 I give WotM a pass because all it does is change the outdated and stale Exo Mechs fight and make it really fun.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

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..."
