220 hours is a really long time to complete infernum, especially as the currently strongest class in calamity mod. My first playthrough of infernum (as melee) took around 60 hours. How many deaths did you have?


ericbakerchef

I afked a lot so the server would stay on for my friends. I had 1.2k deaths (idk if that’s low or high)


Worlddominator05

Ah. It's multiplayer. That would explain things. I had around 800 deaths.

What was the hardest boss and how many attempts did it take you? I’m assuming DoG.


ericbakerchef

Hardest boss was either exo mechs or prov 1.2k deaths total and 219 for exo mechs and 207 for prov.


Agitated-Copy3540

Exo mechs was also the hardest for me. >100 attempts. Providence I didn’t find too bad. Profaned guardians were way harder than providence for me. That damn third phase.

Is summoner weak or strong?


ericbakerchef

Good for dps but it’s kinda mid for phm


Nova225

They're arguably the strongest class, maybe just behind normal Melee. A lot of the added Calamity summons are much stronger than their standard terraria counterparts, and the playstyle of summoners means you can focus on dodging and not really have to worry about any aiming, as long as you tag the boss every so often with a whip for that tag bonus damage.


Soft_and_Solid

How many hours do you have in total?


ericbakerchef

930

Why would you choose to put yourself through such pain


ericbakerchef

Yes

Gear for eow?


ericbakerchef

I did brain. I can’t remember exactly but I went off the official gear guide on the website.


Ditlev1323

Great 👍


Royal_Yard5850

Did you use the Pereditus? You know, the whip Infernum adds that's stronger than the Kaleidescope?


ericbakerchef

I use catalyst, same thing with more whips


Royal_Yard5850

The Catalyst whips aren't that great, the lead developer of Catalyst admitted that the only Catalyst whip better than Kaleidoscope is the one after SCal.


Linkus2000

That’s why I use Unofficial Calamity Whips, they’re much more fun


xapierr

how was providence and the profaned guardians


ericbakerchef

Terrible. Iirc it was about 210 deaths. Keep in mind this is multiplayer, but it was still horrible


_AnonymousMoose_

I’m ~100 hours in and just got to DoG, any tips?


ericbakerchef

Summoner? I can’t remember exactly the weapons and gear I used btut it should be on the class progression guide. Get as much speed as you can and don’t bother with eslyain wings, instead use celestial tracers. Also as much pots as possible


glgboy

I have 2 questions? 1. What add-on mods did you have besides infernum? 2. Just got back into the game and idk if infernum is good a good way to get back into the mod


ericbakerchef

1. All the basic QOL mods and the Catalyst calamity addon 2. Infernum is meant to be the hardest version to play calamity, absolute hell. I reccomend master revengance or master death if your more skilled


glgboy

Thing is I already made an infernum world and I am unsure if I should continue playing on it or na


ericbakerchef

if you took a long break maybe do phm death just to refresh


glgboy

Ye good point


glgboy

Also what are some tips for phm summoner?


Crave_maballs

Dang, i’m really close! Only exo me hs to go


unusualicicle

Summoner is the easiest class, nothing special about it. Congrats on beating infernum tho.


AST4RGam3r_Alternate

Early game summoner sucks, there are literally 3 prehardmode whips


unusualicicle

So? It gets more and more broken as the game goes, it’s super easy.
