  • After completing this challenge in vanilla Terraria, I've decided to take on the even more difficult task of completing the Calamity Mod using sentries only. Can I make it through my toguhest challenge yet? You'll have to watch to find out. This is no 100 days challenge, it's much, much harder.

    Wait yoooooooooooo you actually did it!!! I’m stuck on exo mechs still on my sentry only run, this is incredibly impressive. I loved seeing what you and I did similarly and differently in this playthrough!

    • @mujack3272
      @mujack3272 Před měsícem +18

      My commentary:
      I was always inspired by MrJFLs original sentry only run, so when they added a pumpkin themed sentry I had to try myself. I’ve only beaten calamity solo once and skipped some optional bosses so I was going in without much experience. I considered going death mode but I just settled for revengence.
      In prehardmode I went for a fully defensive build and didn’t really care for increased summoner damage from obsidian armor. Survivalbilitu was more important for me.
      I actually completely forgot about the Queen Spider Staff in hardmode and I killed destroyer with the Rusty Beacon Prototype.
      The lighting rod staff is actually able to do passive damage to neutral enemies! I don’t know when I figured that out but it’s super useful.
      DoG gave me a lot of trouble but after I fought it countless times I was finally able to do it. I was surprised the vortex sentry was able to do so much dps to it when you resummon it right onto DoG.
      I screamed when I won.
      I’ve never fought the old Duke before this playthrough, it was a very difficult fight for me but I actually became very consistent with it! Thank goodness because it would NOT give me the drop
      I made a machine for yharon that spawned mobs so the Cadaverous Carrion would always spawn damage cuz I couldn’t hit him.
      And that leads to today. It’s been almost a month since I started my playthrough, and with school, finals, and other responsibilities my run tapered off. I couldn’t kill exo yet, the furthest I got was past phase 2. I actually saw your comment on the no hit exomechs video, and was very excited! I couldn’t wait to see how you went about it! This was a great video and it never ceases to amaze me how you don’t have thousands of subs.

    • @ChiefLogan_
      @ChiefLogan_  Před měsícem +17

      Thanks for watching it! Always interesting to see how different people tackle the same challenge. Taking down the destroyer with the rusty beacon is insane, I’m surprised it does enough damage to finish in one night!
      I think that’s the major theme of the sentry subclass though, weapons you think would be weak and outclassed end up doing better than some options you obtained later, just like you said with lunar portal vs DoG.
      I wish you the best of luck with the rest of your playthrough, I was so close to giving up against the exo mechs and if I didn’t find KRR’s video then I probably would have. Stick with it and keep trying, you’ll be glad you did!

    • @ChiefLogan_
      @ChiefLogan_  Před měsícem +5

      I don’t think I’d have been able to do the run without them, while higher damage is nice it’s just not always viable for certain subclasses to go without defense boosts. The beauty of calamity is that there’s so many different defensive options that you can use one without others and still get a significant boost. Sometimes in vanilla it feels like you need to spec entirely into defense or entirely into damage

  • @b0ne_r3aper78
    @b0ne_r3aper78 Před měsícem +9

    Great job on beating calamity with arguably the hardest official sub-class listed on the wiki, it's very impressive to see it done in the modern time, since JLF's run is now pretty outdated, so it was intresting to see how someone would go about the run, though i do have my own thoughts on the run, and some optimizations that could be done, like for the Mechs you can get the Deep Diver accessory to get an early HM ram dash, to go through the prime melee arms or destroyer without taking damage. Or just gouing for Cryogen 1st, then fishing for crates to get an adamatite pickaxe, to mine the Cryonic ore to make the Ornate Shield.
    there are also a lot of other things that could be done, like progression skips to get some gear earlier and skipping harder bosses for the moment to get better gear for them, but i don't mean progressin skips as in the kind where you kill DoG before Old Duke, i mean skips like killing Ravager or Aureus pre-mechs to get good Sentries earlier, as in killing them with the Queen Spider Staff as they are both vare land based bosses especially Aureus, so it shouldn't be too bad to do, and after you get 1 mech dead it would be even faster to go for 1 of there 2 bosses and kill them for there loot, just to make the other mechs and rest of HM a cake walk.
    then we come to the Post-polterghast stage, where going for Blood Flare armor for more survivability would make it easier to out last OD, and going for DoG you should almost always have fleash totem on to not get 1 shot by the head, as the Flesh Totem halves contact damage every 20 seconds, this would also be pretty useful on Yharon, if you don't have the dash timeing fully memorized.
    Other differances include the fact that any of the Wing Boots Combinations are just not worth using ever, ther significantly worse Wings then other options and you just don't walk on the ground enough to justify the need for boots, pretty much after Mechs and Fairy Boots none of the boots help a run as much as a good Survivability accessory would, since you will be flying for most bosses and the ones you don't fly on ,you can bunny hop to keep up momentum with just Wings. and especially Seraph Tracers are the worst, as they used to be better then Drew's wings for everything outside of No-hits, for the better i-frames they gave, but now that that's not a thing anymore, there just flat out bad.
    this also means you only ever need to kill Providance once in Hell for the Shield, since the Elysian wings while the best pre-DoG, aren't that much better then Terragon Wings, and since you should upgrade to Silva Wings right after DoG the extra kill and hallowed arena prep are just a waste of time over all.
    the other changes to the run i can think of are more so out of preferance like accessory choice outside of the few key ones and what to use when and when, but other then that, there isn't that much else to say about this run form me.

    • @Skarrier
      @Skarrier Před měsícem

      Totally agree on wing-boots thing. Providence wings + lightning boots carried me through Old Duke and turned his fight into a cakewalk, while before it hardly seemed possible.
      Also i swapped all Absorber-like accessories for flat damage boosts, 'cause Absorber-likes have a lot of completely useless bonuses like boosts while standing still, mining speed or healing for 5 hp on receiving a 200+ hp hit.

      The worst is probably one of yharon's drops, the burning sky, it is classified as a melee weapon despite having no melee capability AT ALL, projectiles don't even spawn near you (granted, this is more a magic weapon than a gun, but still)

    • @ChiefLogan_

      @orionstokesweiss2344 I guess the trade off is that you can concurrently use every summoner subclass at the same time, but you can’t do that with any other class. It’s not much but it goes some way to add some variety to each stage of the game, you might not get a new minion after a certain boss, but you could get a whip or sentry that you can use alongside your current minions

    I have the biggest hatred for the squirrel squire staff. One day I decided to start a new calamity play through and wanted to play as summoner because it’s a unique class especially with the additions of calamity mod (had played rogue on my first play through with my friend playing summoner so I already had a rough understanding of the progression of the class. To my absolute shock and horror, my good friend, the squirrel staff had been changed in between my play through to go from a normal summon that flew around to a stationary sentry. Of course, I didn’t know of this update and instead… assumed my game was broken so gave up instantly. Could have been a good play through if I had only known of the changes to the summon🥲
    TL;DR - stopped a playthrough because I didn’t realise the squirrel staff had been changed to a sentry.

    also another note i just watched the No-hit fully, and yeah the build used is not really generally viable, though it get's you through the fight, and it is currently outdated, as there have been a lot of changes to accessories and especially the candles, as you can not have more then 1 canddle effect active now, which i noticed you had all 4, in your video, which just isn't possible in base calamity since it was changed in the Bountiful Harvest update to be that you need right click 1 of the candles to get it's effect premanently and only 1 effect can be used at a time.
    so technically your run had a pretty significant advantige to what is normally possible in bse calamit, as the canddles are all very powerful buffs, and only 1 is supposed to ever be active.
    Still that doesn't take away form your Achievement in doing this run, i just want to mention it, as many might look for this video as a guide, and i don't want there to be any confusion on this matter, as it is a major change in the update.
