Breaking the Spell: Investigating Ways to Break the Amber Curse

The amber curse is a mysterious phenomenon that has been the subject of folklore and legends for centuries. Said to be a curse placed on anyone who possesses or comes into contact with a particular piece of amber, the amber curse is believed to bring misfortune, suffering, and even death to those who are unfortunate enough to be afflicted by it. According to the folklore surrounding the amber curse, it is said to originate from an ancient civilization that used amber for its mystical properties. This civilization, whose name and location have been lost to time, was said to have possessed great wisdom and knowledge of the universe. However, their pursuit of power and immortality led them to perform forbidden rituals that ultimately resulted in the creation of the amber curse. The curse is said to be encased within a specific piece of amber, which acts as a vessel for the dark forces that seek to bring destruction and chaos to the world.

Fargo, yes, Thorium, no, they have different balance systems and you don't really use the Thorium gear as a result, instead, you want mods that have a similar balance system to keep things as fun and interesting as possible, though Thorium is a good mod also, it is not a good mod to pair with Calamity, my advice would be to add Good Luck Have Fun mod along with Death Mode, it is the extremist mode, Good Luck Have Fun mod adds to vanilla bosses even more, and it multiplies all enemy stats by 1.5, also, for anyone who takes this challenge, I wish you the best of luck

Not entirely true. Some of the Throuim gear helped me out around the Moon Lord level. Especially the Dread Armor set.

I'd like to echo some of the complaints about the 'anti-cheat' measures. I'm using about 12 different mods playing multiplayer with my significant other and supreme calamitas is instantly killing either of us with one hit and NO death message. at one point it killed us and made a comment about not doing enough damage. we took off a bunch of damage reducing accessories from other mods after reading the wiki, and made it through a few minutes of 'legit' fight. we eventually died, but it seemed like a normal fight.

After we died in that 'legit' fight though, that's when things started getting 'funky'. Now, we are each randomly dying with no death message while in our castle. No calamitas is summoned, neither of us are near any monsters, we're just randomly dying every few minutes, with no death message. I re-started the terraria server, and it's still happening without having summoned calamitas.

Our world has become unplayable because we can't do anything for more than 3 minutes without dying for literally no reason, even though I've never re-summoned SC since that last 'legit' fight and the random no-message deaths afterwards.

I get that you want to provide a challenge, but your 'anti-cheat' measures are somehow bugged and broke my game. we've put 200 hours on these characters and now can't do anything with them. I feel like people should be able to play a game whatever way they want. If the player wants to be challenged, then they can take off gear, we've done that plenty when some bosses ended up being pushovers (the boss list mod might've been a bit out-of-order), but imposing a broken instant-death mechanic seems like a bad idea.

I don't care if I can never fight SC, we were having fun being challenged by the devourer of gods, yharon, and solar eclipses with increased spawn rates, but we can't even do that now. How can I fix this? Can you release an alternate version of the mod without the anti-cheat mechanic or somehow make it optional so it can be turned off when it breaks games.

Some claim that the curse can be lifted or broken, but only through great sacrifice or by completing a specific set of tasks. Others believe that the curse is eternal, and once afflicted, there is no escape. While the existence of the amber curse remains a matter of folklore and legend, many people throughout history have claimed to have experienced its effects firsthand. These alleged victims often report a string of unfortunate events occurring in their lives after encountering the cursed amber, leading them to attribute their misfortunes to the curse's malevolent influence. Whether the amber curse is a real phenomenon or merely a product of superstition and imagination, it continues to capture the fascination and intrigue of those who come across its tales. The mystery and allure surrounding the curse have kept its legend alive, ensuring that it remains a haunting presence in the realm of folklore..
