THE LORDE is a post-Moon Lord joke hidden boss, exclusive to Get fixed boi worlds. It can be considered the most difficult boss in the Calamity Mod.

Summoning

On a world with the Get fixed boi seed, THE LORDE has a 1 in 42 chance to spawn upon killing a Bohldohr in the Jungle Temple at any stage of progression.

THE LORDE can also be summoned by using NO, which is dropped by Bohldohrs after Supreme Witch, Calamitas and the Exo Mechs have been defeated.

Behavior

Upon spawning, THE LORDE randomly chooses from a list of vanilla enemy AIs, using it for a set amount of time, before switching to another AI and continuing the cycle. Going more than 262.5 tiles away from THE LORDE will cause it to permanently enrage, constantly spinning and charging at the player aggressively instead of its normal routine of using other enemy AIs.

While THE LORDE is alive, taking damage from any source inflicts the NO U debuff on the player, which completely disables the player's armor, accessories, and mounts. Journey Mode's Godmode is also disabled.

Attempting to instantly kill or deal too much damage to THE LORDE will activate its butcher protection, causing its sprite to squint and the quote "You think...you can butcher...ME!?" to appear. THE LORDE's butcher protection will negate any damage that exceeds 0.4% of its maximum health. This calculation always assumes the attack is a critical hit and at its maximum favorable damage variation, even if it is not.

Attempting to use the Rod of Harmony while THE LORDE is alive inflicts the NO U debuff for 1 hour.

When THE LORDE's health falls to or below 1% of its maximum health, it stops taking damage from any attacks and begins constantly emitting 8 Exo Overload Beams from XF-09 Ares's "blender" attack. The immunity disappears after 100 seconds.

Upon death, THE LORDE's sprite (except for its eyes) quickly turns into black and magenta squares, which then shrinks down to just its eyes. Afterwards, its Googly Eyeeyes pop outwards in random directions, and the boss drops its loot.

AI Types

THE LORDE's possible AIs and their durations are listed below:

  • None of the AI types inherit any changes that the mod makes to their respective base AIs, meaning that attacks added in difficulty modes such as Revengeance Mode will not occur during the fight.

  • Notes

    • If the player summons THE LORDE before defeating both Supreme Witch, Calamitas and the Exo Mechs, they will be constantly inflicted with the NO U debuff during the bossfight.
    • Taking damage from any source inflicts NO U on the player for a very small amount of time, but direct contact with THE LORDE inflicts it for much longer.
    • THE LORDE will constantly emit Exo Overload Beams for as long as the player has the Suspicious Looking NO U equipped.

    Tips

    • It is not recommended to use the Rod of Harmony as it causes the NO U debuff to be inflicted onto the player for an hour. Other items such as the Rod of Discord are also not recommended due to the Chaos State debuff always spawning Primordial Wyrm in Get fixed boi worlds.
    • Any direct hit from THE LORDE effectively guarantees death by stripping the player of all defense and mobility. Players should always stay at a distance from the boss and prioritize dodging its dash attacks at all costs.
    • Getting too many damage increases is not recommended as this can inadvertently activate THE LORDE's butcher protection.
    • THE LORDE can use Nebula Floater AI, causing it to teleport around the player whenever struck. Since it can teleport directly into the player if they were moving, or abruptly kill them out of a teleport by switching to an AI such as Plantera or Queen Bee, they should stop attacking and wait out the phase until THE LORDE uses a different AI.
    • A good strategy to defeat THE LORDE is to exit its range to provoke its enraged state and then circle a particular point. THE LORDE will constantly home in on the player in a wide loop, trying to ram them. This strategy is similar to one that can be used to defeat the Dungeon Guardian.

    Trivia

    • THE LORDE's butcher protection quote is identical to that of the now-removed one from The Devourer of Gods.
    • THE LORDE does not have its own battle theme. Instead, it uses the battle theme from another boss depending on the AI chosen.
      • The Moon Lord's theme is used for those that do not have a battle theme.
    • THE LORDE was originally a joke concept, but Fabsol/MountainDrew, the creator of the mod, decided to add it to the game as a secret boss for fun.
    • THE LORDE has the most health of any enemy in the game.
    • Its sprite is a heavily pixelated artistic rendition of Yharim, an important figure in the Calamity Mod's lore, with googly eyes.
      • Its name is a misspelling of "The Lord", which was a title Yharim used to be referred to as.
    • THE LORDE is a parody of "extremely difficult" bosses that drew their difficulty from poorly implemented gimmicks or lazy design.
    • The developers posted a changelog saying THE LORDE was removed, but it only got its name changed to "SELF-INSERT BOSS UNCREATIVE AS FUCK BABY RAGE K U LOL BAI".
      • Later, it was "removed" again but only had its name changed back to the original one. This changelog claimed to have had "Readded something horrible."
    • THE LORDE, its debuff and its summoning item are all references to the "no u" meme.
    • The duration of the NO U debuff of 22 seconds is internally 1337 frames (roughly 22.2833 seconds), in reference to the Leet meme.
    • THE LORDE drops Delicious Meat in reference to the item's memetic presence within the Calamity community, originating from excessive vandalism of the unofficial Calamity Mod Fandom wiki.
      • An infamous edit from said wiki involved adding π2/6 (roughly 1.64) Delicious Meat to the Aerialite Bar's recipe, which is reflected in THE LORDE's maximum Delicious Meat drop count, which is the value multiplied by 100.
      • The lower bound of 22 is a number often joked about around the Terraria modding community for various reasons.
    • The black and magenta squares THE LORDE gets covered in upon death are based on missing textures from Minecraft.
    • The Suspicious Looking NO U has a drop chance of 1 in 27, a reference to the first episode of the fanmade webseries, Calamity Paint debuting on the 27th of December.
      • THE LORDE's death sound is directly taken from the episode.
      • THE LORDE's second death within the series turned it into black and magenta squares, similar to its actual death animation.
    • Unlike other bosses, THE LORDE does not have a despawn message when the Boss Checklist Mod is installed.

    Quotes

    • "You think...you can butcher...ME!?" (When attempting to instantly kill or do too much damage to the boss)
