The EXTRA lore behind Terraria

While in Terraria the story is really what ever you want to make it, over the years since the game came out in 2011 there has been little pieces of lore given to us along with a huge piece on terraria's 8th anniversary, which is what I covered in my last video. Instead for this video, I go over all of the extra parts of terraria lore, and explain what they are and how they came to be

I don't think Lovecraft would had liked the idea of Cthulhu being defeated by a human being.

[koarins]

(my personal thoughts) I think the cultists are trying to summon Cthulhu, however were interrupted mid-way, therefore summoning an in-complete Cthulhu, from the one banished to the dark side of the moon. I guess that's why the summoned Moon Lord does not completely have skin over it's whole body.

I think that the guide is NOT the W.O.F, but is instead a sacrifice to summon it, mainly because of the guide's knowledge on the overworld, crafting, and other facts the guide may know.

I also think that the only reason the dryad comes into your world is once you have proven to be a good person, therefore only spawning after you have defeated the Eye of Cthulhu, Brain of Cthulhu, or any other "evil" boss.

The only reason the queen bee is spawned is because you killed the baby bees.

The clothier was placed in front of the dungeon to be an extra guard to the dungeon and the cultist's plans, therefore also having the Dungeon Guardian, who is technically an overpowered backup tool.

The corruption/crimson is in the world, because of it's power, and also spreads through your world very slowly. However, after defeating the boss that holds the ancient spirits of light and dark (Wall of Flesh), the corrupted areas of the world would spread faster, until your entire world has been completely corrupted. The spirits of light, however, plans on covering the entire world, so any form of corruption would be destroyed, therefore including the player, NPCs, and any other form of life in the regular world. I just don't really know what would happen if the crimson and the hallowed were to combat against each other.

Yeah that's it lol

I have a theory. Certain NPC characters must be sacrificed to summon bosses, namely the clothier(old man) and the guide. The arms dealer specifically wants to shoot the guide voodoo doll, and, from what i have seen, doesn't like the clothier. What if the arms dealer is trying to warn us about their true nature?

[LAVA_GAMERRR]

the guide isn't the wall of flesh, he is used as a burning sacrifice to summon the wall of flesh

[hawlkman]

If the guide is the wall of flesh in disguise that means the ninja cant be his brother. unless the ninja is also a wall, if that was the case I can't really see king slime winning that fight.

Lunatic cultist is most likely trying to stop you from destroying the pillars and getting to moonlord because they know you are going to kill him.

[scrappless]

Someone needs to make a board game or something out of all of this lore.

[The_Bigheaded_Noob]

so why does cthulhu have chains behind him again?

[Kikithegreen]

My headcannon is that defeating golem (a heavily sun-based boss) opens the way for the lunar events and moon lord (heavily moon-based things) to invade your world.
The cultists are trying to stop this from happening, and are trying to summon cthulhu to aid them.
Once you kill all four cultists, you end up shattering the tablet they were performing a ritual on.
The really important thing is that the tablet's energy is absorbed by the lunatic cultist, and once you kill the lunatic cultist, the lunar event starts.

My idea behind this is that the ritual is infusing the tablet with some kind of magical properties that protect the world from the lunar invasion.
By breaking it, the lunatic cultist quickly arrives to absorb that energy, and when you finally kill him, its all released, and there's nothing protecting your world from the celestial creature's (and moon lord's) growing interest in you, and thus, they invade.

Additionally, cthulhu is never outright stated to be evil. The closest we have gotten is the war with the dryads (but wars happen and dont explicitly mean that either side is in the wrong)

Also, the cultists don't attack you whatsoever aside from in self defense, so they clearly arent aggressive maniacs trying to end the world.
Maybe cthulhu is just a really chill dude, and they just wanted his help, yknow?

[fendy_the_fox]

Well. If Guide is Brother of Ninja and all Guides are related to each other. If all Guides are siblings, does that mean Ninja is also a Guide??

Next video Idea:
Comparing the swords that changed with the new update with the swords before they were changed.

[SealandIsBestCountry]

"hallowed slimes fused together"
*proceeds to show rainbow slimes*
(a slime that eats a fallen star)

[W.A.S.B]

Minecraft : be bad
Terraria : be bad and good at the same time

[yinyang]

My theory about the guides: they are a part of an order, like stated in lore. However! Besides being keepers of knowledge, all guides also go through a ritual that allows them to keep the wall of flesh dormant as long as they're alive. But, when any guide is killed, the Wall of Flesh Will awaken for a certain amount of time.

[tinydragon]

i think that the lunatic cultists are thought to be summoning chuthlu by the charchter writing the beastiary. maybe the devs didnt write it but another person did

[FlanAce-orhb]

Here is my theory: the player helped the dryads defeat Cthulu, but he managed to defeat you, scattering your equipment across the world. It would explain why all these unique items are just around and why you are able to use any piece of equipment, no matter how mysterious or alien, as soon as you pick it up.

[taks]

Ima add a bit onto somethings

The guide and wof are two different entities since the guide shares a soul with wof from the voodoo demon beastiery entry

Every death in terraria is cannon since the nurse will make a joke on how many times you've died from time to time


But in other news the ninja must suck at combat if he lost to king slime

[little-troll]

When you think about it, it’s the guide that tell you about the w.o.f so I think it could be not a guide but more like a cultist because it all leads to it like he doesn’t tell you (from what I know) about other cultist, we can also see that they aren’t scared of dying, they are alr doing a rituel so why can’t they do one for wall of flesh Btw all that isn’t based on any real source so take it has nothing

[Deadmanfromtheroad]

Empress of light no no no
Your wrong
You mean mommy of light

[singletoons_]

Id like to think that the wall of flesh isnt the guide specifically, BUT i do think that it is the combination of the all the guides that have died and the eye of Cthulhu
