A Terraria Veteran Spends 100 Days in Deathmode... Terraria Calamity Mod Challenge!

hey guys welcome back to the channel my name is radium and today i have a calamity my playthrough for all of you where i share my experiences with spending 100 days in death mode and i have to say i think i did the most bizarre play for you to ever exist however before we get into the actual content of the video let me explain some stuff and the basic rules a terraria day is 24 minutes long 15 minutes a day time and nine at night that means for 100 days you have 2400 minutes of play time which equivocates to 40 hours now for this playthrough any time changing items such as the cosmolite and enchanted sundial can be used but they do skip time so i shouldn't use them often lastly my character is already given two items a cosmolite and a gold watch the cosmetics will be used at the beginning to signal the start of day one then it will be instantly removed the gold watch also just helps me record the video in smaller segments okay with all of that said i suppose let's get into the video my day one consisted of starting off with a cosmolight usage which is instantly trashed this gives me the full 24 minutes a regular terraria day has rather than the first night which is slightly less the gold watch helps me gauge the length of my footage as well so first off you'll notice how i activate not only death mode but also defiled wound this is because defiled increases drop chance of rare items sometimes which plays into this ridiculous strategy anyway the first thing i want to do is immediately dive into the underground desert normally this is a death sentence but i won't need to be down here for long my reason for doing this is to locate some mandible weapons fantastic and diverse weapons similar to golden platinum tier items but that isn't all of it i will be killing stormlines on a single scenario in my first six minutes hopefully then going back the scenidrian spawned in an incredible spot and so i got to chipping away at his health with the squirrel sum and staying completely safe as i kill the scenario the goal is to get two of each drop to craft two victim bars as well as an immediate spark and luckily my first kill used me both of those items another ant lion drops me the mandible bow a weapon that will carry me through the desert scourge lastly down here the storm drill staff is dropped and my starter equipment is almost complete immediately i begin thinking of which weapon i want to use but settled on the seashell boomerang since it has great dps and knockback my main incident for spelunking in the treacherous desert so early on comes down to one reason bats cave ice and jungle bats are instant death in death mode unless you have a strong enough weapon so another option to my method as an alternative would be looking for sword shrines or a water bolt at the dungeon the first cavernous chests yield me some fantastic early game items such as a jump bottle hermes boots and a magic mirror no weapons interests me right now but gems for a grapple is neat even though i'm shooting for a diamond hook by the end of the series life crystals are important as i want to get a goblin army within the first 10 days and also to help me beat bosses as i am a little rusty right now anyways i got slightly overconfident and tried my king slime assembs before forgetting his size increase in death mode i'll give it another go in a moment though even though a war support couldn't be found at my dungeon the sulphur c gives me access to some amazing buffs and some money and although i won't be returning for a while it's nice to pick some stuff up lastly on day one i created a new character opened the treasure bag and dropped off the slime crown before returning to the main character this is allowed as it still uses up some of my overall time and making new characters is a resource worth using sometimes anyways it's a tough battle with the topaz hook being subpar and the seashore boomerang struggling to hit the boss as he gets smaller but we come out on top to conclude day one the king's slime treasure bag gave me some ninja armor and a slimy saddle so that's a pretty good turnout after that i immediately began flattening out my desert to fight the desert scourging sadly i wouldn't beat the boss on day 2 as i only racked up two losses from it my next play however was to go to the crimson and smash some crimson hearts i had potentially steals and tissue samples from the marine but as i went to do the fight a criminal on blight slime pushed me down a flight of stairs basically and finished me off before i could get a single tissue sample apart from that i crafted the prison builder from louis afk and this is an example of an item i solely crafted to speed up miscellaneous tasks and well that's pretty much the end of day two so not as much as day one but if we don't have some of these less exciting days than this video will take forever day three began with several life crystals being located by spelunking which was really nice because i was already struggling with a lack of hp at this stage apart from the mindless losing i decided to visit the left side of the world's ocean to find some more chests the original idea for traversing the world was locating the meteor that had dropped in the previous night i couldn't find the footage of the message popping up sadly after mining the entire thing up i crafted the full meteor set the space gun and the meteor hammacks and so i decided that i was to play mage in this challenge that's about everything concerning day 3. stay 4 began i was determined to defeat the desert scourge the space gun really helped with consistent dps as i had to be conservative with my jester arrows but even so this ended up as a close battle my main takeaway from this is that i need to get a much better grappling hook very soon however as soon as the scotch fell i instantly went to the sunken sea to challenge the giant clam immediate the mpc concealed within the mollusk sells an incredible tone for ali calamity the way washer and since the clam is easy i figured it would be worth doing the only other thing i did was head to the jungle for some more loot and ended up finding an enchanted sword from a cosmic elemental and hastily died afterwards ending day four day five began of me finishing the elevator entirely however the true excitement of this day came from the geradon base in the ice caverns as the chest guarded by some crappy lasers gave me a blizzard and a balloon an absolutely amazing accessory i'd pretty much carry through all the way to the moonlord aside from that and finding a few odd life crystals there wasn't really all that much to this day my first mission for day six was crafting the platform builder from louis afk to massively speed up arena construction i can see why some people would call this illegitimate but i feel it is fine to use personally apart from that i use the gravitational potions from draydon's lab to find some sky islands and loots and lastly i challenge the eye of cthulhu to a battle for the sake of his shield if you've been watching me for a while you know that i believe the shield of cthulhu to be one of the best accessories in the game and i still stand by that reasoning by the way not that it means all that much but i did accidentally no hit death mode of cofulu so that happened in the 100 days i guess the highlight for day 7 occurred the frame it began a goblin army was approaching this event had complied to my schedule and arrived earlier than needed which made it slightly harder rid of but not exactly impossible however the main challenge for today was riding the crimson of the perforator hive and the brain of cthulhu i know it's quite a drastic skip but it was one i felt like doing the perforator is easy enough as the fight is easy to control if you have good spatial awareness and then it's just a matter of world times attacks and adrenaline usage the main incentive for fighting this boss is area light ore as there is a magic weapon i would love to wield for the rest of free hard mode which is corrupted from it as the boss falls i quickly craft myself the blood bath another great addition to my magical roster on that note the brain of cthulhu is summoned and he doesn't stand a chance just gotta be honest any of my weapons could have worked for this fight as i steamroll it with my powerful loots and the day concluded with me mining some area lights day 8 began with farming for some feathers and planetoids for life crystals this was for the construction of the tradewinds my favorite free hard mode magic weapon wielding this new amazing item i spent the rest of the day preparing for a skeleton battle and although i struggled a little bit due to being slightly rusty i did manage to defeat the boss in my first attempt unlocking my dungeon normally in calamity if i'm doing a play-through i wouldn't even challenge skeleton this early i'd most likely do it in hard mode since i never really use any items from the dungeon but in this occasion since i'm trying to follow linear progression i did so a few minutes of dungeon exploration yielded nothing so instead i began purchasing mobility items from the tinkerer and found the goblin tinkerer with the goal of crafting the bundle of balloons with this new amazing mobility i was finally ready to take on the slime god and what's that is very tricky for newer players but is really easy once you understand it its defeat served as a positive conclusion to the single digit days in this challenge which brings us to the 10 mark for day 10 i have a fun fact for all of you the wall of flesh is absolute ass in depth mode as i've such using the platform builder in louis afk pretty much makes this fight free i got very unlucky of the boss's positioning but i still managed to defeat the wall just before he killed me in fact and so hard mode has been activated in double digit days the first thing i did in hard mode was fight king slime beneath the underground hello or crimson to farm for souls of night and light for the rest of the day since it was raining i farmed for the nimbus road to start with on day 11. then i located the wizard an amazing npc for early hard mode this one buying spell tomes allowed me to craft both the crystal storm and the golden shower but that's pretty much where my luck ran out as i was farming the light shards for the sky fracture a blood moon spawned as i hadn't crafted ultimate peaceful quite yet this was pretty much just a wasted nine minutes a rookie mistake i made day 12 started with farming up the hardwood ortiz so i could get an oracal commandville to craft the sky fracture at a fantastic weapon even though i'm farming for these wars i'm not going to be making any armor or weapons out of these just pickaxes and the aurical command as well as the titanium forge i wanted to see where i was at in terms of progression so i fought the twins and although i had one decent attempt my mobility is still severely lacking on day 13 i set out to defeat cryogen who serves as a transition boss from pre-hard mode to hard mode in terms of difficulty i have fought him because this boss yields me so many helpful items and the soul of courage and some wings with good offensive bonuses to them additionally i have unlocked the ability to craft daedalus armor from my victory which i'll spend the remainder of the day farming for on day 14 i started mining cryonic all to craft the daedalus armor and part of the soul of courageon i was prepared to fight the twins again they were still very difficult so i'm not the best at the fight but i came out on top thanks to my fantastic damage and ability to recover due to my increased defense with them defeated i can begin really progressing in hard mode day 15 was mixed in terms of its success i challenged the brimstone elemental which was a successful fight that took about six minutes to complete and i came to the conclusion that i needed a weapon upgrade although i crafted a lot of good vanilla weapons i needed a new piercing and dps weapon i'm not allowing myself the relic of ruin by the way because it is so incredibly good that i'd have no need for weapon upgrades until golem anyways the brimstone elemental was really difficult here because it was slightly enraged and so i barely won the fight apart from that the entire night of this day was wasted on a calamitous attempt because i didn't have enough damage although i wanted to get revenge on day 16 i needed to wait till night time for another kilometers fight so i decided to clear out the acid rain and fight the aquatic scourge it's an easy fight with a piercing weapon and the boss seems to have slowed down quite a bit which makes it feel a lot more fair my other reasons for doing this fight was getting the deep sea staff and the downpour two weapons that would have helped against calamitous and also the remaining mech bosses plus i had no such luck regardless of that the calamitous fight was a long one as i barely finished the fight as the night ended but i would not call this a hard one this is one of those bosses that becomes really easy once you notice it whereas some bosses remain inconsistent but it's still one of my favorite fights in the mod now i know that some of you might be surprised that i'm fighting kilometers so early on as this is kind of a staple boss for pretty much being halfway through the game and we are only at day 16 but let me just tell you now the progression hasn't even started getting ridiculous quite yet we've literally only just begun in this thing and if you think this is insane just wait till some of the later segments it will genuinely break your mind i spent the first half of day 17 farming for potions from the brewer npc and then focused on taking down the remaining mechanical bosses i didn't realize how powerful the nimbus for truly was as it's paired with the golden shower annihilated the death mode destroyer this fight is normally my least favorite mechanical boss as it feels somewhat cheap in my opinion but here it was a piece of cake and the souls of mice are invaluable souls to have to contrast that i really like death mode skeleton prime as this fight is really unique but somewhat easy and well balanced comparatively with all three mechanical bosses defeated and mechanical cards and pickaxe were crafted but i finally had the resources required for a new weapon one that would make me so much stronger the valkyrie this thing literally eats three bosses with multiple segments making it a fantastic choice in calamity day 18 might have been the most successful day in the 100 days actually while farming for money via aquatic scourges i came to the conclusion that i needed a lot of discord for plantera and within minutes of farming for it i had myself the normally elusive road with it a small and scruffy arena constructed with a few dynamites would be enough to take care of this boss i am actually not a fan of this fight because the issue of death mode plantera is that in order to make an arena large enough to fight the boston you have to destroy the blocks that make it a jungle biome and so planter is always enraged in the middle the rod helps this however because the speed of the boss becomes irrelevant if you can teleport with this boss defeated i instantly crafted myself the terra ray as i had most ingredients for knight's ray lying about and the living shards were now mine and with this ridiculously powerful stave in my possession i fought gollum this fight is difficult in death mode because of the head's movements directly complimenting the body's attacks but once the head is destroyed it becomes free it was really another little fun battle to do and i've pretty much unlocked all content in the game up to the moon lord now even though gollum has fallen i had one crazy idea left for this day i wanted to attempt the ravager this fight would actually cut into day 19 a little but since the fight started on day 18 i will count it this is normally a ridiculously hard fight that you really really need to prepare for but thanks to the bath potions i farmed well thanks to the aquatic scourge i had every regeneration buff in vanilla and calamity boosting my recovery time immensely this alone was enough to tip the tides on the boss as i could take as long as i needed in order to win this day 19 began with picking up a specter star from the wizard as it receives a massive buffing calamity now i accidentally summoned an alistar whilst farming for pirate maps but since i barely survived getting out of the ocean i figured it would be worth a shot and this fight ended up being a very very close one the specter staff proved its worth as it shredded through both bosses in the fight but the final enraged state of the leviathan was still actually enough to kill me i just happened to do so as well next up i made a really bizarre discovery as i went to the astrobiome to challenge astrum aureus the astral meteor had actually fallen in a two by two hole so summoning the boss was really difficult but apart from that the fight itself was very easy this is a boss that struggles against mobile players so if you shoot for an early duke fish run this fight is practically free with all of that said that concludes day 19. for day 20 i wanted to defeat fisher on a little earlier than intended as his drops were insane for mage so i farmed for a truffle worm and gave the fighter shot i'm very very surprised that my skill in this fight is deteriorated as fast as it did as i know hit this boss relatively recently with much worse gear however the fight was still technically a success despite my lackluster ability i feel that master mode dukes fisherman's ai should function like death modes as being able to shoot out cuffulunados while dashing makes it so much harder to dodge anyways after the victorious attempt i needed the fish from wings so i spent some platinum on treasure bags and just happened to get them i decided that with this power up i should fight the lunatic cultist as i believe the specter staff to be enough to defeat the moon lord at this stage the fight was short and simple as the boss always is i used to find the death mode changes really hard but after several playthroughs i just don't see how i struggled at it lastly on the day i took out the vortex and stardust pillars just in time for day 21 although i killed the solar pillar very early on i wanted to kill the plague bring a goliath before the moonlord and so i got to my least favorite boss in calamity this fight is honestly so bad in comparison to pretty much everything around it but i didn't want to be guessed about it so i did it here the end of this battle is one of the weirdest finales in the 100 days and i do notice that i actually keep dying with the boss which is really bizarre but i'll take it if i don't have to do this miserable fight anymore as the nebula filler fell it was apparent that the moon lord was dying soon and although i passed away a few times due to lack of practice i managed to finally get the golden attempt and take the victory putting myself in end game calamity being only a fifth of the way through my time day 22 served as the calm after the storm i bought treasure bags and managed to get myself the lunar fleur which would help me easily defeat the martian invasion for the xenopopper this weapon was needed in a crafting tree for the best mage weapon pre-providence an item i would potentially use for the next several bosses the effervescence with this ridiculously powerful weapon in hand i spent the rest of the day farming for unholy essence and a couple more moonlord kills for money and luminite on day 23 the goal was defeating the profane guardians providence and the stormweaver and getting myself some armor upgrades the guardians are easy as always but then again their only purpose is obtaining the profane core to provide providence i also crafted myself the non-consumable profane core for the sake of farming the boss later on as it is a great fight for money the fight itself is actually very difficult but if you've seen my channel in the recent months you'll know that i've invested over five hours into trying to now hit this fight so regularly fighting it is an absolute breeze the only difficult part for me in fact is the last 30 percent after the propane guardians are summoned and defeated as her attacks become much more ruthless anyways after a successful providence attempt i immediately got to farming yellow bloom since i wanted the tarragon armor and the bio fusilade for weapon diversity i bought another providence treasure bag for the divine geodes and voila i finally get to use another armor set other than daedalus next up it was time for the storm weaver who i really wasn't concerned about it's just kind of a fight that happens but i still managed to die at the end of it concluding day three cygnus and the ceaseless void were the targets for day 24 and i successfully got both of them cygnus was actually the easiest of the sentinels mainly because the other bosses are much more inconsistent the main goal for defeating these bosses this early on by the way was to craft a cosmic worm and go for the devour of gods the second we defeat poltergust who would actually turn out to be the hardest boss in this entire playthrough the reason i wanted to defeat porter cast wasn't even blood flow armor it was the phantasmal fury an amazing magic weapon that is in my opinion the best choice against the devourer of gods i didn't really need to craft many more weapons after that for the entire playthrough as i'm being minimalistic to save time despite day 25 being quite significant as it represents us being a quarter of the way through this challenge um i actually did nothing too spectacular on this day just farming phantoplasm and building the poltergust arena so yeah that's literally the entire 24 minutes whilst the poltergust fight rolls out i really want to discuss how old good i think these new changes are because previously in updates of calamity and versions of calamity have played before this um poltergeist's ai seemed really really cheap occasionally in the fight he would just kind of stick to you and pretty much instantly kill you which i found really really stupid but in this version of the game or the new update i should say the boss is so much nicer his ai functions very differently he now has dash attacks rather than just following you like plantera does and i personally really like this so the only issue still with the fight is that the ghost seems to enrage randomly and this arena is a full dungeon so maybe it's on my end rather than the games but i do think there are still a couple of bugs to be fixed with this fight but overall it's still a massive improvement okay now that i've complimented the fight it's time to talk about the difficulty of it because as i said previously this was the hardest fight in pretty much the game now i spent a good while practicing this fight beforehand because i knew this was going to be a difficult one and i didn't want to waste a couple of days on this fight so one thing i did for out this play for actually was practice bosses um via alternate accounts but i don't think that's cheating because i did not do them related to my character or the world just so i knew what i was going into basically with this method i was pretty much able to steamroll this boss within five attempts but the boss was still very inconsistent despite me liking the fight now with that done i had the ruinous souls to craft the phantasmal fury which as i said previously is going to be my weapon for the devourer of gods and there was no time like the present to begin that fight because i didn't really see the point in upgrading my wings my accessories or my armor although i didn't first try the davar of gods it was still a very fun fight that i did relatively quickly and i beat it within 10 minutes of doing poltergeist the only issue with this fight is still the fact that you get one shot in death mode but the ai also seems slightly less inconsistent as randomly before the devour of gods would just go incredibly quick and accelerate across your screen potentially killing you in some cases but this version of the boss seems to be a lot less ridiculous in that sense now i'm just going to say ahead of time that this is where my progression really starts going off the rails because after this fight i've unlocked the ability to craft godslayer armor which is crafted from endothermic energy and nightmare fuel but the thing with that is the events that happened when the next day started which really interested me now i had no intention of doing some ridiculous skip but things just or like the events kind of fell into place and so i figured i'd seize the opportunity to do something ridiculous and yeah that concludes day 26 day 27 started rather strongly from the devourers treasure bag i got the death hail stuff which allowed me to initiate an incredible skip i fought dragon folian easily won gaining the effulgent feathers to craft the dragon egg and then easily defeating faze when yurim and just so you all know joran is the fighting calamity that i am the best at having no hitter and invested over 1500 attempts into the fight in armageddon unlocking the power of the dark sun came from this bustle and so i got to farming the solar eclipse for darks on fragments which just happened to be in play already then i fought ostrom ds for the starfall and combined it with the relic of ruin and the nuclear fury and so the event horizon was created this weapon is my personal favorite magic weapon in calamity as i used it to no hit yarn originally anyways i bet you'll struggle to believe that i beat you on both times first try but i did this fight is literally ingrained into my memory forever now because of the ridiculous amount of time i spent on it it is a fun fight however so i do hope you enjoy the remainder of this battle me um yes this is this is a28 began with me fighting the old duke a boss that i normally skip because i'm really really bad at uh i just can't really be bothered to learn it but in my opinion it is a pretty fun fight and i really do want to do it more it's just a shame that it's so much harder than everything else around it after that the remainder of the day was dedicated to farming for auric tesla um this is a massive process because ori tesla bars have so many ingredients to the recipe so i spent a lot of time doing this and i only got about halfway through the recipe for a single bar day 29 was the first time i had access to a draedon's ford throughout the entire playthrough this allowed me to actually construct endgame items rather than just farm for the materials used to make the bars as this serves as the final crafting station i'll never use after i had the auric tesla bar i began farming for items like the psychotic amulet the flying carpet and the lead core as well as the frost barrier to make the uric tesla armor this was a really annoying process to do and it took about 10 minutes but honestly i remember it being much worse than this so i'm fine with it being a long process and the final thing i did was farm for the augur of the elements the light gods brilliance and used my event horizon additionally to craft the substring vortex an absolutely incredible weapon that is pretty much going to carry me through supreme kilometers although it has been changed slightly and it's not as good as it once was in my opinion it's still a really neat weapon to use so so [Music] now you may be thinking it's day 30 and i've beaten calamity in death mode uh this is a really bizarre achievement but the thing is there's actually a lot more content in the game as of such i'm going to be using the rest of the days to farm for rare items do some ridiculous challenges and maybe improve my world slightly because i'm still living in boxes basically with little to no organization so this is personally how i like to do my playthroughs as i do everything after doing it if that makes sense and although a lot of people prep every stage along the way um this is something i like to do days 31 to 36 was spent farming up for the materials required to craft demon shade armor and accessories i skipped out on and although i crafted more than these items these are the one of the three groups that i'd consider the most important next up days 36 to 44 were designated to the halibut cannon an item with a one in ten thousand drop shots now i actually got very unlucky of this i believe i killed over 25 000 enemies before i got my halibut cannon but i'm still very grateful to finally have gotten this thing it's an amazing dps weapon and in case you're ever challenging an enemy with high defense it's pretty much got the base best like dungeon guardian attack damage in the game between days 45 and 48 i spent time farming for the cosmic discharge of crafty apotheosis a ridiculously powerful endgame weapon after this i decided i would challenge terminus and although i can't include the entirety of terminus in this video here's a montage of me killing every single boss in about 30 seconds oh yeah and i need to explain something regarding terminus so whilst the event is active because some bosses can only be spawned in at night um the terminus item automatically changes the day and night cycle so instead of adding a ridiculous amount of days because of the amount of flashes there are i've decided that every time i do terminus it's going to count for three days which is why i've done it from day 45 to 48 in this case after this days 49 to 67 were spent farming up money to buy treasure bags for legendary weapons over 6 000 platinum coins were put towards these treasure bags and over the course of 14 days of money farming opening bags and auto thrashing every single legendary item in the game was obtained with that done there are two more items i would like to farm for the purpose of day 68 to 77 were farming for either the void vortex or the uranus crystal now i wasn't too annoyed that if i didn't get one of them because these items were incredibly hard to get and the orum is very inefficient to farm but regardless i managed to get myself the void vortex um obviously not the cool one because the arms crystal in my opinion is slightly better but i'm just happy to get one of these real weapons and so now we are officially entering the last five days of this video now i wanted to do something ridiculously hard and so i figured the most difficult enemy in calamity should be my final target the idol on worm now i experimented with different weapons but i couldn't find anything that did good damage and so i resorted to a very commonly used weapon for killing this guy the cold heart icicle this thing reduces the percentage of the health of the enemy you are fighting by two percent regardless of their defense health or damage reduction which makes it perfect for this scenario the fight still takes a while because in order to use this it requires you to get hit and then i need to recover all of my hp because the idol on one pretty much wipes out all of your health in a single blow regardless of how powerful you are so that was an issue but after 20 minutes passed i had officially defeated the idol on one this would have been a very cool strategy to do earlier on maybe get myself like an early soul edge or halibut cannon and just steamroll early hard mode however i've never done this before hence why i didn't think of the idea and it's honestly just a cool thing to do for the end of the playthrough it's quite a good finale in my opinion and this is where this journey ends now i know that's kind of an anticlimactic finish because technically i still had two days left but honestly i kind of just idled around to my world and looks around remorsing about where i'd spent my last 40 hours basically and honestly that's absolutely fine you don't need to be rushing every single second of your life and i know this kind of ironic coming from me because that's all i really did with this play through but i still had a really good time with it and it was a really refreshing experience just being able to play calamity with no restrictions so i hope all of you enjoyed this video as well so yeah thanks for watching and i'll see you in the next one peace out guys
