Infernum is an interesting mod. While opinions on it are certainly mixed, I do have to admire that the team were able to make over 40 bosses in the span of about 2 years. They all have a high amount of technical polish, and some fights have some pretty good visuals and/or patterns. I honestly think that Dom would really excel if he were to make his own mod with a smaller number of bosses, where he could spend more time thinking out and polishing each boss, rather than having to worry about dozens of fights at once. Infernum is pretty damn good at its peak, and he is having to work with the constraints imposed on him with the design of each boss and its original fight. Sure, the mod isn't perfect, but I can at least look back and admire what it did right.
Dom wants to work on something Not Terraria once his work with Calamity is over (although that's probably going to be several years), so there is potential he could design bosses in another game entirely.
@@Lynel5240 I would honestly like to see it, tbh. I think he is currently held back some by Calamity, so seeing a project where he is in full control could be interesting.
sorry for necroposting, but could i ask for your own opinion on bossfights? im trying to make my own mod to succeed infernum in difficulty (not stat boosting) and i want to have a clear improvement over infernum.
@@dove3MC Well, if you are inexperienced in modding, then you may be shooting your expectations much too high. Infernum, as much as I have issues with it, has a great deal of quality and is still highly challenging with many of its bosses. Before you start anything, you should try and mod for a while first with just some random stuff to get better. It might seem like a weird response, but learning code and designing a couple misc fights will give you a much needed grasp of how to even make a boss. As for difficulty, I will say that making a boss that is very difficult yet still enjoyable is not an easy task, as it must be able to not only beat the players down, but incentivize them to get back up and continue. 2 important aspects to making this work out are 1, adding a clear learning curve to the fight and its mechanics and 2, making the boss stand out amongst the others in your mod. The first of those 2 is complicated, as making a fair learning curve for a boss requires a lot of context to the boss and other factors. The length of the fight, progression placement, intended difficulty and premise of the fight are just a few things that must be accounted for when making a boss, no matter the difficulty. On a mod trying to be very hard, it is absolutely necessary for the learning curve to be big, yet also very smooth and balanced throughout both the fights and the playthrough as a whole. As for the second aspect, making a boss stand out is not as difficult. While crazy visuals and interesting mechanics certainly help, all it takes for a fight to be memorable is for it to be fun and to be reasonably unique. Just put making each encounter a really fun time, and a lot of that specialness will come on its own. That is all I really have to say. Sorry for writing an essay.
@@jimboanimations4041 thanks. I hoped to achieve your first aspect before you directly acknowledged it by making boss attacks that are logically telegraphed (intuitive to understand) and not just “hehehe this thing suddenly appears and does damage so you’re dead and watch out next fight i guess”. I also wanted to achieve the second aspect through unique attacks based something that isn’t just “ram dash” or whatever. For example, i planned to rework king slime by removing the small slimes it spawns because i felt there was no time during the boss fight where it really lets you fight them, they’re just a nuisance. I wanted to add that moment in the following scenario: After KS drops to x% of health (probably like 30%). It becomes stationary and does not attack, instead summoning a giant slimy shield that deflects projectiles and damage. then, several small slimes are spawned and attempt to swarm the player. I hoped that this kind of attack would both add a necessity to be able to deal aoe dmg, but also add functionality and similarity to the fight. after 20 seconds or after all the slimes are defeated, the boss resumes. another attack, for example, the king slime (being gelatinous) forms a large hammer, cocks back for a second before initiating a large spin (relatively quick, but could be dodged by staying out of range or circling the handle). would be damageable in this form. Anyways, attacks like these would hopefully give a nice twist on original bossfights without being totally different, and would require some thought into actions (i mostly consider the player’s “maximum strength” for that stage when deciding on attacks / hp, for example; early game has much weaker speed, so attacks are slow but vicious, but usually have a “blind spot” that the player can hide in to more easily dodge it. I have some experience with coding (although i cant find any tutorials for intermediate skill level+) and i mostly spend my time writing ideas down on a fandom wiki i made and animate the attacks in aesprite for a more visual understanding. thanks so much for all the advice, i’d love to know your opinion on boss patterns i develop (dw i wont ask you every time i create something), probably just advice once i finish a boss’ plan.
Just imagine the sheer power in some of the hits the terrarian took. Even with armour, excessories, potions and other buffs that still requires more durability than some of the bosses have to survive. He goes from effectively stabbing king slime to smiting supreme calamitas with an amazing singing voice that I for one am jealous of.
Most of the time the "Last breath" desperation attacks feel like a cheap way to make a boss way harder than it already is, but ironically the way most beings are they would probably resort to putting everything they've got (Yharon with his self-destructive ignition and Ceaseless void with collapsing into a unstable black hole.)
fun? absolutely, the second phase really caught me off guard during my first infernum playthrough, along with arena block removal hard? nope, as cool as he looks his attacks aren't really a threat, especially the laser wall and the "hanging from the ceiling" attack. they should really buff him in the future(making some attacks an actual threat, and giving him some new attacks for phase 1), although not to the point where it gets to death mode golem level of unfairness(aka the "RANDOM BULLSHIT, GO!' golem)
Dear Lord those themed arenas must have taken forever. Props to you and the infernum team for making such a great addition to calamity! (Wish base calamity had those flashy effects lol)
Tbh that golem fight is honestly really good and should probably be like that in the base game because everytime i fight him it's just another boring boss to me, but I still like I would something else to it
нет, это не одно из сложнейших прохождений, инфернум легко пройти, на ютубе есть видео, где чел прошел инфернум no hit, вот это реально заслуживает уважения
The changes are cool (cool is not equal to balanced), and Infernum has potential. In its current state, it is worth playing, but may feel very frustrating. As for the video, great job. I’m thinking of doing something similar, but with an extra restriction (no buffs, melee only, etc).
I really love the infernum mod because I thought some bosses didn't have any health, it was too low for the calamity weapons but in infernum they can kill you faster than you can beat them
I have to ask, how did you dodge through DoG's hitbox? Is there an item that allows you to dodge through physical hitboxes without the cooldown of the Counter Scarf?
Why are you using default music for the vanilla bosses and not infernum and/or calamity extra music the vanilla themes just dont fit well at all with calamity, especially infernum mode.
if you want to cheese destroyer in any difficulty of calamity (including infernum), use avalanche. its a true melee weapon dropped by cryogen, and it SHREDS the destroyer.
there's no "strongest" class for infernum, nor calamity. every class has a blind spot in progression, and that's what makes them all unique. play the class you've never played(or never liked), discover his playstyle, and try all weapons on-tier to see which one finally beats the boss. this way you will probably have fun, although who am i to guarantee you'll have fun?
In the Original Mod, upon Yharon's Death, he will use his "Final Dying Roar," sending a volley of rainbow fire from him in all directions. This attack is an instant kill if it hits the Player, and the only ways to avoid it are to either RoD behind it, or to outmaneuver it. This can be problematic, as other attacks may still remain post-death, making it far more difficult to dodge. Edit: Yes, to my knowledge, he also Vaporizes in the Original Mod, it's just not that Flashy like in Infernum

Honestly quite incredible
Quite agreeable
Decently Extraordinary
Frankly quite remarkable
Extensively intriguing
Uniquely intense
The fact that the event horizon timed so perfectly with yharon phase 2 made me happy.
That’s honestly really cool coincidence that the attack speed of the event horizon and the bpm of rotjd is almost the same lol
it is, it tickles my brain in just the right way.
Such an amazing mod that has gone an amazing way. Amazing job the devs have done!
Just imagine the sheer power in some of the hits the terrarian took.

Well to be fair infernum is MADE to be a replacement of the removed hardest difficulty in calamity
huge respect for fighting the vanilla bosses too lol
Does Infernum bring the amazing visual effects shown in the video? It looks amazing, like its from another game

Just better❤
