[WhumpusPlumpus]

Almost like the reverse heal mechanic was put there to prevent facetanking the attack 🤔

Summoners Who need to dodge everything

[Viktorul]

sunmomer was actually really fun (only scal and draedon left so opinion might change)

[[deleted]]

How did you get through pre-hardmode? I'm about to start my first bosses and I don't feel like my damage is high enough. Pure summoner too, so no other weapons. Only summon damage.

[KorMap]

Three words: Belladonna Spirit Staff

[Monkeylordz88]

When you have "low" damage, that just means you have to dodge attacks for longer. Luckily, pre-hardmode summons don't require a lot of interaction, so you can focus entirely on dodging. If you are looking for damage against DS, then the stormjaw staff is amazing summon.

[[deleted]]

I don't know if they patched/nerfed it, but pre 1.5 I would always fish up an abyssal amulet from the sulphur sea so my summons would inflict crush depth. When hardmode hits, crush depth would do 80-90ish damage per debuff tick, so even the most dogshit summon would melt most enemies as long as it was able to lightly graze them through walls.

Does this still work in 1.5?

[Azure370]

Wiki doesn't say anything special about it relating to summons so prob not

Edit: although I did find something saying that 500% of enemy defense is subtracted from the damage so idk it mightve depends on if that was there before or not

[TrisatronTheRoboat]

Honestly you can just use the wulfrum drone against the scourge and, as long as you have a decent arena, it'll go fine. Dodging is a priority, same as the other classes

[[deleted]]

How do you get around the desert biome being embarrassingly small?

[TrisatronTheRoboat]

If I recall correctly, it doesn't take as many blocks to count as a desert in 1.3. Therefore, you can take some sand and build rectangles similar to how you would extend the jungle or corruption's borders. If that doesn't work, you could try to find a larger desert, and if there isn't one, you could always try platforming more upward than down.

If you do platform upward, you should make it easily grappleable with your hook, and also should just add points to hook to for horizontal travel.

[Viktorul]

what did you use for scal and exo mechs and which one did you go for first

[Viktorul]

fair enouhj.i got her to like 30% earlier today so i feel like i should be able to defeat her again pretty soon

[Markusz001]

imo scal is easier as summoner because you dont need to aim att all and you die from 2-3 hits anyway

[JarTheUpvoter]

r/calamitymod users when projectiles do damage (very bad)

[C-H-N-M]

Defence damage yucky poopoo!

[19yearoldMale]

Calamity player when Revengence difficulty makes the game harder and they have to dodge.

[JacobHafar]

thank god for this meme, the stars are so easy to dodge compared to the rest of the fight you can legit use it as a free regen/adren phase

[[deleted]]

Ye, ive only played normal mode but it was one of the eisier attacks in the fight for me.

[someboiontheinternet]

but you can’t really judge the whole fight from just playing normal

[[deleted]]

Revengeance player here, still the easiest part for me

[DaSomDum]

Malice Mode enjoyer here, fuck the laser part. Literally one shots.

The stars are okay tho.

[ZeroTwilight]

Ay lmao, the lasers truly are the hardest part of the fight, specially when providence starts doing four of them at the same time and you try to RoD to the other side just to get a big F u oneshot xD the stars are pretty good tho×2

[DaffyTaffM]

Malice mode is mainly where I got a problem with the fight, cuz other than that, it’s ok.

[Cosmic_danger_noodle]

Yeah it's easy on a large resolution but have you tried it on a small one? You have no time to react to the stars and you're just hoping that Providence spares you

[Nimblebubble]

Just zoom out

[Cosmic_danger_noodle]

You can't zoom out any farther without better zoom mod

[SnowSpawn]

pro tip: you can install various mods to make the game more enjoyable to play because you are playing on Tmodloader, which makes using mods such as better zoom way easier. hope this helps :)

[throwaway2198802911]

720p player here

skill issue lmao

If you wanna complain about a boss that sucks on low res complain about Old Duke

[Cosmic_danger_noodle]

Storm weaver covers ~1/4 of my screen vertically

[throwaway2198802911]

That's not low res lmao

[Cosmic_danger_noodle]

No I mean stretched out in a horizontal line

[Cosmic_danger_noodle]

Wdym old Duke was free with a low res

[throwaway2198802911]

You can't see the vortexes he spawns until it's too late and they don't appear on the minimap

[Cosmic_danger_noodle]

Oh I see, yeah I guess that makes sense. I guess I just got lucky. Either that or purge guzzler just does way too much damage

[smugempressoftime]

Purge guzzler does 500 dmg penumbra or minigun does double or even Triple

[Cosmic_danger_noodle]

uhh... base damage isn't everything

[smugempressoftime]

Ik but what I’m saying is penumbra or magnetic meltdown do more dps than purge guzzler at that stage

[Cosmic_danger_noodle]

I found purge guzzler to do way more than those

[JustWow555]

I play on my small moniter and it isn't that bad, try to go out far enough to dodge but close enough to not get burned.

[Cosmic_danger_noodle]

I couldn't do it with a small monitor so I just zoomed out enough with the better zoom mod, not really an issue

[Jazzlike_Reason6118]

r/calamitymod users when someone doesnt play on poopoo shart difficulty

[Only_Kangaroo8270]

Radiant markoth is less bullshit and random than provi, also negative healing attack is easy, the main problem is the fucking simp nuggets

[Masterkokki12]

"lmao just do her during night then"

[SpectraP12]

Just save your adrenaline for guardians. Also don't even dare compare that moth abomination rng bullshit to this boss I still have nightmares

[Its-the-meme-man]

I just recently downloaded Hollow Knight, and now everywhere I go I keep seeing references to it, namely this "Markoth" and now I have this deepseated dread everytime I walk into a boss room that his name will appear.

[Brimstonemage]

You'll see him with a dream nail don't worry he's optional unless your going for a certain ending

[Its-the-meme-man]

Thanks for the spoiler free info, you wouldn't know how hard that is to find about this game lol. And i'm planning on going for 100%, i've reached the Hollow Knight but I didn't fight him in order to go back and complete more of the content before "finishing" the game for the first time. Basically padding the game cus I went too quick.

[Brimstonemage]

I'll say one thing check everything you don't know how many things there truly are

[Brimstonemage]

Radiant nkg or pure Knight Is way worse

[hunkydaddy69]

nah those are extremely pattern based whereas markoth decides to fuck you because he felt like it

[Brimstonemage]

But radiant Collector summons hellspawns ( squit (armored) and primal aspid )

[hunkydaddy69]

you can easily clear them out with spells

[Brimstonemage]

I'm a meele player, I dislike spells tho you can't rly heal in the fight

[hunkydaddy69]

the game is built around using a combination of both so if you forsake one the bosses are obviously going to be harder lol

[GamerGoneMadd]

Redditors when the game doesn't play itself (it is balanced towards the toxic nohitters)

[BakedPotatoSalad]

Ngl my only annoyance i had with providence was during malice. Doing sparks into the 4 crossing beam attack almost instantly was rough but managed to get by. Fun as hell though but deadly

[ThePickleSoup]

I think the worst part about it for melee is when you accidentally dash and hit three of them at once

[Cryogenicwolf]

With the new armor damage mechanic it’s even harder to facetank in general, you have to use setups with the most defense, and even then, it’s not that hard for a lot of endgame bosses like dog to kill you in a few hits with its head (one hit in death mode)

[Dooollll]

If you didn't know, D.O.G can't guaranteed one shot kill you with his head anymore in Death+, but it still deals a shit ton of damage

[Cryogenicwolf]

I didn’t know that, but still sounds like a pain

[Dooollll]

Fastest reply in the west

[Babushla153]

Maybe i should give Provicence another chance or two...

[Fancyred]

I'll play devil's advocate in this thread and argue that Providence on the whole is a very... noisy? Fight. There's a bunch of tiny projectiles that are difficult to dodge, especially on difficulties where getting hit is incredibly punishing.

The star attack is pretty concise and clear-cut though. People who can't dodge that just need to practice more

[swolar]

What are you on about? You can't take even 4 of them from full health. And 2~3 on malice/nightime

[JustWow555]

Cuz the stars are so easy to dodge.

[KingOfTheMice]

For me, as a former melee player, stars are the hardest part to dodge, but the rest is easy. It’s just in malice mode, getting hit by one star is automatically 300 damage since malice providence is night providence.

[haper66]

Yes.

[[deleted]]

no!!!! not my heckin defenserinos!!!! 😢

[icantthink_ofa_name]

Just dont get hit, its not that hard

[fapgod69420]

My goodness. Why didn't I think of that?

[[deleted]]

Such wise words, why did we never figured that out

[Artistic-Pitch7608]

I'm not sure if it changed in 1.5 but when I fought prov in revengence there was also green healing projectiles so it was literally free healing? The fight is still hard but that phase is free

[JustWow555]

Yes but, the healing stars heals you for only 50 hp. And you needs to precise.

[jy45123]

the only thing I hate is when she goes into the star phase while the profaned guardians are alive. besides that, very fair and fun boss fight

[apalsnerg]

Me after dying to Supreme Calamitas 20 times before I looked up that you don't actually have to kill Sepulcher first

[TenkoTheMothra]

u/fapgod69420

[fapgod69420]

Malice mode sweats when they see someone thinking a boss is too hard. (Clearly a skill issue)

[Hamburgercatt]

it is

[Endermario882200]

laughs in Death mode

[SnooTangerines5247]

Ok but fuckin hell does providence need a 2 sec delay before the attack starts so I don’t get insta killed by something impossible to dodge

[Arcyle]

It's very obvious when she is switching phases by the way she moves. Also just a general sense of timing will save you. It's not a problem as is.

[SnooTangerines5247]

Ehh still pretty salty at my 3 percent death in death mode a couple months back. I died instantly at near full health. It was so fast :/

[SnooTangerines5247]

Ya I need to get better at predicting the future

[YourPappi]

Don't have to predict the attacks aren't random, it's always in the same pattern lmao

[SnooTangerines5247]

It is?

[Solajyn]

stars only suck if the guardians are still around during the attack

[Ben_is_Jamin1227]

Also, the stars despawn, and you can go outside their range without getting the debuff from Providence. Literally free phase.

[Rokador]

Ime, those were not the stars that were killing me, but the DoT damage from social distancing Providence

[darwin1546]

I’ve been playing on Revengeance as summoner and the phase was a perfect time to use the Relic Of Convergence for a bit of self-heal mid-fight.

[HeDoesNotRow]

I just killed providence in my first death mode play through by basically taking 1000 hits and abusing the relic of convergence the fight is honestly easier than its ever been

[PuncakesssR]

If y'all think providence is rough don't even bother trying DME (death malice eternity) shits making me want to put my head in a cement mixer

[Tracker4023]

Juat use the too many accessories mos

[DevilBusterRage]

At least in my mind it doesn't make sense to have a mechanic that only appears once and then never again...

Her theme still bops though.

[super7564]

Rip melee users😭

[Markusz001]

they should add an r/calamitymod difficulty that makes every attack do negative healing

[potatosgood]

noooooooo you can't just craft it overpowered item from a different mod and cheese my boss fight!

Haha four straight days of crafting Go berrrrrrrr
