Help

Amidias' Blessing Bubble.png
Bubble

When the player selects the Sea King's "Help" option, they will be granted the Amidias' Blessing buff for 10 minutes, allowing them unlimited underwater breathing until they get hit for 50 or more damage or the duration is over. The Sea King will also tell the player some information about the world in the form of tips, hints, or lore. After certain milestones are reached, all possible Help dialogues will be replaced with new ones.

  • During Pre-Hardmode:

    • "There are rumors of ores that lay in latency. When you defeat certain bosses you will undo the ancient magic which conceals those materials."
    • "Have you heard of the city in the Brimstone Crags? It lies in the Underworld, and was constructed beneath the Abyss. It was once the oldest and largest city in the world, though it seems nothing but danger lies there now. It would be wise to avoid it."
    • "Ah yes, the Abyss. That trench is full of powerful creatures that could devour you in a heartbeat. I would explore the dungeon first."
    • "The Sulphurous Seas are dangerous. The toxic waters will burn your skin, but if you can brave them you will be able to reach the Abyss, where there are powerful weapons and dangers aplenty."
    • "The Sulphurous Sea was created more than a millenia ago, but it has gotten truly unbearable in the past decades. It's the fault of that accursed robot, Draedon, dumping waste and abandoned projects in there constantly. It's viler than it's ever been, thanks to him."
    • "Be careful what you attack in the [Corruption / Crimson]. You might just unveil a greater threat than what was there before."
    • "Scattered across the lands are shrines dedicated to the gods. They contain powerful gear that may help you on your adventures."
    • "I assume you have heard of the legendary ninja, Statis? He and his clan worshiped the God of slime, who may be a survivor of the war due to its trickery and knowing when to hide or flee."
    • "The [Corruption / Crimson] is a relatively recent development in the world, and its formation marked the start of Yharim's treacherous war. Although the source of its growth would be sealed away, nothing was ever done about the original manifestations.
    • "Throughout the world lie various structures left behind by Draedon. Archaic defenses may remain, but the goods inside may be worth your while."

    During Hardmode:

    • "Have you ever heard of the Archmage, Permafrost? Once an advisor to Yharim, he one day vanished and Calamitas abandoned Yharim's cause soon after. From what I know, Permafrost was akin to a father to her. Perhaps if she had something to do with his disappearance, he may yet live...?" (only if Cryogen has not been defeated)
    • "I would recommend saving some of your old items. You never know if you can engineer them into stronger weapons in the future."
    • "If you take an idol down to the Brimstone Crags you might be able to see just what is lurking in the shadows."
    • "Azafure, the city founded in the Brimstone Crags, was one of the first places to support Yharim in his war. Now, it is nothing more than ruins... Just what happened there?"
    • "If you've gathered the souls used to power those automatons head once more to the jungle. You will find a powerful enemy to fight, which will unleash the full fervor of the jungle once defeated. Do not underestimate it!"
    • "Be careful when defeating Plantera and the Golem. You might accidentally unleash a new threat in the jungle that needs to be quelled."
    • "When exploring the jungle temple be careful. You may not wish to disturb the Lihzahrd's idol, the Golem. It's quite the destructive force."

    After Golem has been defeated:

    • "The men at the front of the dungeon are performing a ritual to keep the Moon Lord contained in his prison. In order to gain Yharim's attention, however, you may need to defeat them."
    • "The Abyss has become far more active than before. You might be able to mine some of the volcanic rubble contained within."
    • "The nature of this plague in the jungle bothers me; it certainly is not the average infection. From afar they seem normal, yet up close it is obvious that the infected creatures are equipped with lights and metallic plating. Whatever it may be, it certainly isn't natural."

    After Moon Lord has been defeated:

    • "Your adventure focuses to the jungle it seems. The Dragonfolly and its swarming offspring should be eliminated before their numbers spiral out of control."
    • "Profaned creatures now lurk in the Hallow and in Hell. If you destroy enough and gather their essence together you shall be able to capture the attention of the Profaned Guardians."
    • "The Profaned Guardians serve Providence, one of the few Gods even I despise. The Guardians attempt to eliminate threats to their Goddess preemptively, and it is likely that their next target is you."
    • "Providence can likely be drawn out for combat by using the relic her Guardians left behind. I wonder... Why has Yharim not challenged her? Is he simply that negligent now?"
    • "Providence was a great threat to Yharim and his army. She would appear out of seemingly thin air, wreck havoc, and vanish before much damage could be done to her. Perhaps she would be overconfident in facing but a single warrior."

    After Providence, the Profaned Goddess has been defeated:

    • "The Rune of Kos holds a significant portion of Providence's brand of magic, easily distinguishable from all others. Activating it in certain places would have some... risky consequences."
    • "I do wonder what has happened to Braelor and Statis. I have heard or seen very little of either. In my days, both were great heroes to those who worshiped the Gods. Have they been killed, captured, or are they simply in hiding?"

    After Polterghast has been defeated:

    • "The Abyss holds many secrets revealed with time. Checking it out again may not be a bad idea."
    • "Ah...I can sense a powerful change in the weather. You may want to venture to the Sulphurous Seas once more during the rain to experience it."

    After The Devourer of Gods has been defeated:

    • "The Devourer's armor was specially made by Draedon. Extremely flexible yet durable and massive, it may be one of his most impressive creations. I shudder to think of what unholy things he may be able to create now, if his research has not stopped."
    • "With the cosmic steel you can fashion many of your weapons into much more powerful forms."
    • "The Devourer of Gods is truly an enigma. Some say it's not even from this world at all. What is known is that he is a being that can devour the essence of Gods entirely, leaving absolutely nothing left. It's no wonder Yharim recruited that monster."

    After Yharon, Dragon of Rebirth has been defeated:

    • "Auric is near impossible to work with without being attuned to a Dragon or using the claimed soul of a Dragon to perform a "mock" attunement. However, if one can work with it truly powerful things can be created; enough so that using it in anything was deemed heretical by the Gods."
    • "The Golden Heretic, Yharim, possesses strength that may just surpass all of the Gods. When you face him, be well prepared for the battle of your life."
    • "Draedon isn't a frontline fighter; he is a scientist and inventor. He is unlikely to face you directly, and will likely have his creations confront you instead. Be prepared for anything that blasphemous machine could throw at you."

    When near the Princess:

    • "That child, <Name of Princess> the Princess. She is an innocent soul. Let us hope the horrors of war never reach her."

    • "I am satisfied."
  • Notes

    • Unlike all other town NPCs, the Sea King cannot drown.
    • Since Amidias' Blessing provides unlimited breath in all watery areas, including the Abyss, it makes him very useful for exploration.

    Trivia

    • The BestiaryBestiary entry for the Sea King: "The seventeenth ruler of the constitutional monarchy of Ilmeris since the tribes of the Ilmeran Sea unified, under the Electric Goddess, Otonilou, and the elusive God of the Seas. Alas, one cannot be a ruler without subjects, and while he remains respected by those who opposed Godseeker Yharim, his kingdom is no more."
    • The Sea King has only one possible name, sharing this trait with Santa Claus, the Drunk Princess, the Archmage, and the Brimstone Witch.
    • The Sea King, along with the Archmage, are two characters with large roles in the lore.
      • Further supporting this claim, many of the Sea King's quotes are references to the lore, such as mentioning his whole kingdom being evaporated by Calamitas.
    • The Sea King mentions Lord Yharim when selecting Help after defeating Yharon, who is a prominent figure in the lore.
    • The dialogue about "males carrying young" is a reference to real-world seahorse biology, playing to the fact that the Sea King's design is derived from said animal.
    • The quote about the Angler is a reference to him dropping the Golden Fishing Rod when fed to the Trasher.
    • In the mod's source files, the Sea King is referred to as 'SEAHOE'.

    • Help dialogue:
      • Anytime:
        • "There are rumors of ores that lay in latency. When you defeat certain bosses you will undo the ancient magic which conceals those materials."
        • "Have you heard of the Brimstone Crags? It was once a grand kingdom, not too different from my own. However, it also met a similar fate. I would not advise going down there, unless you seek a painful death."
        • "Ah yes, the Abyss. That trench is full of powerful creatures that could devour you in a heartbeat. I would explore the dungeon first."
        • "The Sulphurous Seas are dangerous. The toxic waters will burn your skin, but if you can brave them you will be able to reach the Abyss, where there are powerful weapons and dangers aplenty."
        • "The Sulphurous Seas were created long ago, when Yharim's dungeon could no longer hold as many corpses as it needed to. Many of the bodies were dumped into the ocean. This, along with severe pollution from the heydays of Draedon's experiments have turned a paradise into a wasteland."
        • "Be careful what you attack in the [World Evil]. You might just unveil a greater threat than what was there before."
        • "Scattered across the lands are shrines dedicated to the gods. You can take whatever is in them, but a few items you may not be able to use until much later."
        • "I'm assuming you've heard the legends that speak of the ninja, Statis? There are some who say that if you were able to defeat the gods which his clan once worshipped you would be able to harness some of his powers."
        • "The dungeon is a dark place. None of us know of its true purpose, however, the ancient Eidolist cultists used it for worship before Lord Yharim took it over."
        • "The [World Evil] used to be easily manageable and controlled by nature. However, the recent wars and pollution have tipped the balance out of favor."
        • "Throughout the world lie various structures left behind by Draedon. Archaic defenses may remain, but the goods inside may be worth your while."
      • During Hardmode:
        • "Have you heard of the story of Archmage Permafrost? Rumor has it he's been locked away in an icy prison by Lord Yharim. Perhaps you would be able to free him if Cryogen was destroyed."
          • If Cryogen has been defeated this dialog will be replaced with "You will find more ores have been unlocked due to the magic sealing them away being dispelled. Some of them may require more than just the ore itself to create."
        • "I would recommend saving some of your old items. You never know if you can engineer them into stronger weapons in the future."
        • "Once those mechanical creations have been defeated you would do well to seek out the crippled clone of the witch, Calamitas. It might provide some useful weaponry."
        • "If you take an idol down to the Brimstone Crags you might be able to see just what is lurking in the shadows."
        • "The Brimstone Crags... Yharim despised that place, and did everything he could to raze it to the ground. It might explain a few things about him."
        • "If you've gathered the souls used to power those automatons head once more to the jungle. You will find a powerful enemy to fight, which will unleash the full fervor of the jungle once defeated. Do not underestimate it!"
        • "Be careful when defeating Plantera and the Golem. You might accidentally unleash a new threat in the jungle that needs to be quelled."
        • "When exploring the jungle temple be careful. You may not wish to disturb the Lihzard's idol, the Golem. It's quite the destructive force."
      • If Golem has been defeated:
        • "The men at the front of the dungeon are performing a ritual to keep the Moon Lord contained in his prison. In order to gain Yharim's attention, however, you may need to defeat them."
        • "The Abyss has become far more active than before. You might be able to mine some of the volcanic rubble contained within."
        • "The plague was just one of the many experiments authorized by Yharim to raze towns to the ground. This is probably one of the few he shelved for being too terrible."
      • If the Moon Lord has been defeated:
        • "Your adventure focuses to the jungle it seems. The Dragonfolly and its swarming offspring should be eliminated before their numbers spiral out of control."
        • "Profaned creatures now lurk in the Hallow and in Hell. If you destroy enough and gather their essence together you shall be able to capture the attention of the Profaned Guardians."
        • "The Profaned Guardians will do anything to protect their goddess. Makes sense they would die for her since they can be revived just as quickly."
        • "Touching Providence's offerings is usually a death wish. Shame that Yharim didn't think to just mess with her things to get her out of hiding."
        • "Providence is as much the sun goddess as much as the Moon Lord is the moon god. They are two sides of the same coin, choosing to remain neutral amongst our petty squabbles."
        • "The stories have it that when Providence faced and defeated Yharim and his forces she lost a lot of energy and reverted to a more skeletal form. She's merely a fraction of the power she was before."
      • If Providence, the Profaned Goddess has been defeated:
        • "The Rune of Kos holds a significant portion of Providence's brand of magic, easily distinguishable from all others. Activating it in certain places would have some... risky consequences."
        • "Ironic, is it not, that Statis was defeated by the very Sentinel his people fashioned their art of stealth from. Fate so often weaves cruel tales."
        • "The Dungeon seems to be more active now. You may hear the faint whisperings of angry spirits who have not left to the Void... I would recommend searching there before taking on the Sentinels."
      • If Polterghast has been defeated:
        • "The Abyss holds many secrets revealed with time. Checking it out again may not be a bad idea."
        • "Ah... I can sense a powerful change in the weather. You may want to venture to the Sulphurous Seas once more during the rain to experience it."
      • If The Devourer of Gods has been defeated:
        • "The Devourer of God's cosmic armor is unique in that it is capable of not only protecting his body from tearing itself apart when ripping through the fabric of space and time, but also allows him to control his powers."
        • "With the cosmic steel you can fashion many of your weapons into much more powerful forms."
        • "The Devourer of Gods is extremely powerful. However, he is young, foolhardy, and very lazy. Perhaps if he had been given time to develop he would have turned into quite the threat."
        • "Ah, the dragon Yharon is fickle. You may find that he will refuse to use his full power unless you are strong enough to unleash the power of the Dark Sun."
      • If Jungle Dragon, Yharon has been defeated:
        • "Pockets of ore have appeared once more in the land. This will allow you to create the most powerful weaponry and armor imagined!"
        • "Lord Yharim possesses god-like strength. He may not even fight you at full power which is fortunate for you. His attacks may just kill you in one hit, so be careful."
        • "Draedon's style of confrontation is very... alien and hands-off. You may be more likely to fight any one of his mechs before taking him down."
