Will you guys be trying the Calamity mod?

One note about the rage bar, you can fill it by dealing true melee damage, but it does NOT have to be a true melee weapon, it just won't count if the projectile from the weapon hits, but using it as a sword for true melee will fill your rage bar.

Obsoleek: I don't recommend death mode for your first playthrough

Happy Days: so I have chosen death

All I needed to hear was " craft rod of discord"

I found you on reddit and i can't be more happy about it

[mypantsareveryshiny]

mod: is hard
some guy who has a character named Samuel Rodrigues: no i don't think so

[futuristicbus]

I have to say I love when bosses are made more difficult without just giving them an insane about of health and damage.

So, as let's say calamity mod veteran (playing since late 2017-early 2018) this is honestly one of the best guides out there. Just a bit of advice for the newer players. The mode exceeds at high risk high reward playstyle so never stop until you win, and it will happen (might take months tho)

Warning to those who are new to modding: DO NOT use Magic Storage if you plan to play through Calamity on a server. The mod have had issues with multiplayer for a very long time now, and if you use it online you run a high risk of your world getting corrupt at some point and your storage together with all the nearby terrain getting permanently deleted from your world. Regular backups can sorta get you around this problem, but only if you don't mind redoing a bunch of stuff again when the issue does occur.

I already finished calamity with death mode, revengeance, and defiled, all active so I loaded thorium and basically I was like : Hmmm big bird go die with minigun ( Big Bird is grand thunderbird )

[clintborasio]

Your recommendation of other mods really has helped me enjoy my playthrough of calamity a lot more, thanks!

[Weroleytor]

Oh, just what I needed, thanks :D
I'll start a new Calamity playthrough once I beat master mode... Damn I can't believe it's been almost a month since 1.4 came out and I still haven't beaten it lol, I haven't played in like 2 weeks :(

Completely agree with 10:02, took me and my friend 20 tries for the plague bringer but once we did it, it was such a feeling.

Pto tip : name your character sam and find the murasama in the underworld.

[tayoffbeat]
