Lore (Hunt of the Old God)

The Hunt of the Old God and much of its contents have a rich lore associated with them. While most of it is unnecessary to the central gameplay, it can be read and understood as a means to make the world feel more alive and give bosses and items more purpose.

Lore Items

Lore Items are items with a piece of lore written into them, and are dropped by their respective boss on their first kill. They are also able to be crafted using the boss's respective trophy. The descriptions of these items are insights and commentary on both locations the player has been to and bosses the player has slain.

All lore items initially have the tooltip 'Whispers from on high dance in your ears... Press "Left Shift" to listen closer' and will then display their full contents when ⇧ Left Shift is pressed.

	Goozma	A most chilling upset, in the hierarchical dominion of all things living. To think the culmination of the lowest echelon of creatures could nevertheless possess an Auric soul, despite lacking any draconic heritage… It became something greater, approaching a perfect being comprised of naught but imperfect parts...perhaps what truly makes a God will forever be unknown. My apprehension towards your catalysis of this veritable harbinger of destruction’s cultivation is outweighed by my curiosity towards it. What could have influenced the form that it took? Its appearance belies the finesse and sophistication of the manipulation of its subjects. What a pity it is that the fruits of its effort came to nothing, in the end. An unremitting pattern in the cyclic annals of history. Perhaps, from the perspective of Terraria, our own achievements amount to little more than the impotent writhing of slimes.	Goozma
