  What mods do you use in Terraria?

    I prefer to use mods that make the game far more difficult, like Fargo’s Masochist mode or the Infernum mode mod. Sometimes I’ll just use vanilla’s Legendary mode if a mod has support for that. I’ll usually pick one of those three and then I’ll sprinkle in a larger compatible mod like The Stars Above along with a ton of QoL mods. I rarely mix more than one or two large mods, as they don’t really tend to play well together generally.

    Currently though, I’m playing through an ultra-modded modpack I found recently called “Infernal Eclipse of Ragnarok”, which is very different from what I normally do. It’s a mod made to allow Calamity (plus add-ons like Wrath of the Gods and Catalyst), Thorium, Secrets of the Shadows, & Consolaria to all work work together with Infernum mode. It rebalances bosses and items, adds in new content, and just about anything else you would need to play the mods together without Calamity greatly overshadowing the others in difficulty. Several of these mods add their own version of the thrower class, so they’re all merged into one unified class. And Thorium’s bard & healer classes have new content added for most-thorium content so they can stay relevant too.

    Technically I’m playing an add-on to the modpack called “Homeward Ragnarok”, which additionally adds support for Fargo’s Souls and Homeward Journey, but I wouldn’t recommend it over the base modpack. Homeward Journey isn’t really balanced well yet and doesn’t have any Infernum mode boss AI, so they all end up being very easy to kill compared to the rest of the bosses. And the sheer amount of content has made the game lag a ton, where my frames drop to below 40 any time I fight a boss anywhere but space (which I have to do a lot of the time).

    Still, it’s been a lot of fun so far. I beat my first superboss, Astrageldon, yesterday after getting my butt handed to me like 30 times in a row. It’s a very well designed boss, and learning its patterns were a lot of fun. I’ve also been making a bit of a trophy platform, where I’m collecting all the relics and trophies and such for each boss.

      Wow, this is an amazing post, thank you very much!

      I played through Calamity on Revengeance during covid (took me a week to kill Calamitas?), then tried a Infernum run with and without friends last year, and I got beat hard. I love Terraria so much, was so happy to discover Calamity, as the content added is top notch, but if there’s modpack for even more content, I’ll definitely find some time to try it.

      But dying just 30 times to a boss? Took me about 170 attempts to kill King Slime in Infernum, after reworking my arena multiple times. I’m very bad at the game.
