Important information: As of v1.5.0.4, Violence CANNOT receive Ephemeral. HOWEVER, Timed DR is being removed in Deathmode and below, so the extra damage and damage mitigation will likely cancel out, and given there is plenty of room to make up DPS in this strategy, it will work beyond Calamity v1.5.0.3 Side note: The ending of this original video was trimmed on the account of it being excessive and unnecessary info aside from a special thanks to ACactoos for helping me with Boss manipulation brainstorming, joining me through a 3 1/2 hour stream of me making part of this build.

Imagine being the world’s greatest engineer handpicked by Yharim himself and just seeing some terrarian absolutely decimate your creations BY RIDING A ROLLERCOASTER Imagine the unimaginable amount of humiliation

This is some big brain strategy right here, turning your world into a rollercoaster to beat draedon

I like how you explain things in a similar manner that Draedon would. "We cannot attack Thanatos until we are close to him; a variable I can control" has the exact same energy as Draedon's defeat monologue about going back to tinkering.

3:46 I love that even Draedon is in pure awe at the stupidity of this.

See guys? Don't blow up your entire world to beat Draedon, just turn it into a giant rollercoaster instead!

There’s something poetic and fascinating about beating Draeden with a precise and calculated strategy, this video is fantastic.

You perfectly constructed and timed a gauntlet against Draedons mechs specifically designed to exploit a flaw in Thanatos’ design, and Draedon watched it happen. As far as I’m concerned, this battle is canon.

It’s funny that this requires less dig work than a regular draedon arena

I feel like Draedon would be proud of the player for inventing something so simple that could defeat his mechs like this.

1:19 the fact that Draedon came in right when the song started building up again and then left when the next verse started makes this run even more perfect than it already is.

Me: struggles to do exo mechs and spends hours attempting them until I finally beat them in revengeance mode This guy: *casually no-hits exo mechs in death mode with a giant rollercoaster*

for anyone wondering, the message at 1:56 says "minecart bonks have i-frames. This is consistent"

Well turns out Draedon with his ingenious brain forgot to calculate for the most powerful strategy, the minecarts. But sincerely, that was completely awesome, that loop at the end just blew my mind

Draedon probably felt his years of learning and carefully creating the three ultimate killing machines only to them dying to a man in a minecraft wasted

I love how draedon at the end gets up from his gaming chair legit confused of what just happened.

"oh ill just send my mechs after him its no big dea-" "what the actual fuck"

There's something so uniquely priceless about Draedon getting out of his rocket powered gaming chair in awe

If I were Draedon I would be less concerned about the player and more concerned about how such a “dumb” strategy works so well. That, and your sanity.

I gotta say that this makes the fight way more interesting than just dodging everything, it feels kinda like these bosses were made for this kind of thing. Its basically a car chase scene

Running Hell as the music for the no-hit really fits, also I’m glad I’m hearing some Cave Story music since it has a really good soundtrack

Despite being a rather "inefficient" system, I kinda feel like it fits. To defeat an Exo Mech, you must prepare for what they are capable of, as they are of extreme power, advanced and destructive. If you wish to defeat it, you must make prepare with EVERYTHING you can do. Even if it means transforming your planet into a battleground.

This is so dumb, yet so smart and intricate and specific at the same time. My brain folded like a towel watching this fuckery ensue

As funny and absurd as this is, this is technically the most logical way the terrarian would beat them

I love how he just follows you on his magic rocket chair casually reading

I love how you put in the maximum amount of work to do a minimal amount of work at the same time

Holy damn. This is genius! I love seeing bosses utterly broken and humiliated by these wacky strats. That loop at the end to take out Thanatos is especially impressive. How long did it take you to fully optimise the minecart track and strategy?

Not only is this impressive, big brained, and badass, it's also definitely butt clenching on those tiny windows of laser tracking, and the fact you chose a Cave Story remix for it just makes it even better. This game, and its players, never cease to amaze me. Calamity for 1.4 can't come fast enough!

Dreadon: the ultimate blacksmith. Able to create gods or machines that rival and beat entities that could be called gods The player: a man who beat a woman with ptsd and so they can get a funni spear

Amazing video, really like the details you put in like the custom dialogue above draedon's head. Maybe the final boss of calamity will be draedon coming back in a tuned minecart after losing like this

"eat my rust" that is the most badass thing i have ever heard since when i know english. im gonna use this in so many situations now

3:47 Draedon took the words right out of my mouth. Anyways, nice work on this crazy contraption.

im impressed drae doesnt just break his neck on his floating gamer chair when you hit a complete U-turn at mach 9.

That last part with the laser is just so much eye candy it's honestly absoludely amazing Can't stop looping it it's just so good

id say this is actually quite smart, as it allows you to almost completely cheese the mechs

That was SO PERFECTLY calculated... You timed that Thanatos' deathray to a frycking frame, and Draedon comes and flies away in perfect sync to the music!

Draedon: these machines have surpassed gods, combined they rival yharims mightiest soldier calamitas, and you beat them all without taking a single hit... using a minecart track.... Im done. You win. Im going home.

You met Draedon's calculations with even more intense calculations. Most impressive.

That Draedon reaction was literally me after seeing this

3:40 Man you literally MELTED Thanatos. Like look at his health. He had like 49.8% health and you took it like it was nothing.😂😂😂

Running Hell, now on wheels

Get ready for Fabsol to ragequit and disable minecarts in Malice or Revengance or do something even worse in the next update

I love the moment when you moved cart of god's tail to tickle draedon's face

Lmao the dodge lazer was hilarious

The madlad did it again He deserves more view for such complex minecart knowledge

Draedon's gonna be so mad after seeing his god slaying mechs get destroyed by a guy riding a minecart.

That’s actually hilarious but amazing at the same time. Very smart. Also Running Hell (DM DOKURO remix) is a PERFECT song to use for the background. Cave Story is such a masterpiece and the music is no exception. GG again 😂

This isn’t stupid. This is genius, it’s poetry, a sign of the great times we live in. This is a display of intellect at it’s finest.

This is the most unironically perfect and poetic Calamity video i’ve ever seen. From the unintentional but amazing things like the line “We cannot attack Thanatos until we are close to him. A variable i can control” to Draedon showing up at 1:19 , and the just sheer poeticness of exploiting the Master Engineer of Terraria’s perfect creations by specifically targeting their perfectness,to the just frankly badass concept of battling perfect killing machines by riding on a minecart. In short,this video is canon to Calamity for me now. Consider yourself in my Favorite Videos list. Oh yes,did i mention Draedon showing up AGAIN at 1:30 before disappearing again?

Bro has a degree in engineering, architect and electrician for sure

One of the best parts of the video is the laser show at 3:24. I love both the noise and the visuals.

I can confirm that this is indeed the MOST practical method of killing exo mechs

To be fair it seems a lot easier to set up than building the world-wide arenas you see in other “how to beat exo mechs” videos, although I could be wrong, that’s just from observation

It’s so fucking terrifying to see Thanatos just barely out of frame and constantly keeping up with the minecart

God, that was such a stupidly funny fight. I was smiling like a little kid having gotten ice-cream from the ice-cream truck the entire time, and the fact that the Green Twin couldn't attack at all in final phase was absolutely hilarious.

massive props for using running hell in the background. The Cave Story soundtrack is hella underrated

Legendary scientist's machinations beaten by dude in a high-speed cart.

the first wheelchair accessible terraria boss

Trying to get the hang of the timing but man, once he hits 20% Ares goes into non stop blender beams for me. It's funny and infuriating at the same time.

I am absolutely, 100% amused by this. I need to watch it a few times just so I can appreciate it a little more. I will admit to cackling like an idiot multiple times during this video because it absolutely is the most ridiculous, bullshit way of dealing with Draedon, and the guy should not underestimate the power of a nerd with a ton of railroad tracks and loads of time on their hands.

you don't know how much I love Cave Story music!

JFL on his way to humiliate every boss possible with a minecart:

this roller coaster truly is a catastrophic fabrication

Draedon: my machines have surprassed the gods, you wont be able to beat it Player: haha minecart brrrr

My man is built different, I have a whole new respect towards this guy

This is really smart but the theme is insane

Hearing cave strory music makes me go back to my game after 2 years of giving up on hell... Wish me look to defeat ballos!

If you are a high tech mastermind and got some of your greatest creations absolutely decimated by nerfed Version of a train. Your brain ain't braining no more

These dumb but awesome strategy is the reason why I subscribe! Keep up the great work!

Almost feel bad for Draedon, he just spent this whole time trying to keep up with a fun boss-themed minecart on a rollercoaster track while watching his Exo Mechs get completely outplayed by it.

Just imagine seeing your creations capable of killing gods getting their bolts unscrewed by a dude in a minecart

The what the hell sentence is exactly what I thought at the final moment

the truth is that this was the best possible strategy thought by an intelligent mind, because it helped me to kill exo mechs because I didn't want to destroy my entire world to battle, I was going to use the area I used to kill yharon but it didn't always work for me or Did the 3 come together or die, thank you very much for leaving this map, I took items from my survival world and fought there, this is a true not dumb but strategic and supreme

As a boss fight rail enjoyer. I approve this video

The cave story song really shot me back

That last second twist was the most shocking thing I've witnessed

Absolutely Amazing. Great Job!

That Thanatos kill was fucking beautiful

Dreadon watching as his trillion dollar mechs, created as the product of thousands of years of engineering and science, specifically designed to kill a single target, lose miserably to random mine cart quite literally running circles around them:

This is heavily underrated. This needs to get over a million views.

Bro my man broke Thanatos’s ankles at the end

I'm still at the pre moon-lord stage and seeing you make the end boss of Calamity mere child's play is just BEAUTIFUL!!!

Mrjfl: It's dumb but it works. Works for me.

Ah yes my Favorite music, Wii death sound.

I never thought I would live to see the day where someone used Belkan Witchcraft on a minecart in Terraria

Looks like rails are indeed the greatest man invention

Literally broke Thanatos`s ankles.

The exo Mechs were easily the most frustrating and difficult boss in the calamity mod for me, It took me WEEKS to beat them. But once I beat them I crafted the Elemental Excalibur and tried again for poops and giggles and they melted like warm butter.😑

as someone who hasn't played calamity, i have no idea what's going on and i'm all for it

That last part holy shit Caught me completely off guard lol Very nice job!

For some unknown reasons I always thought Ares had a giant head and the rainbow shining eye, but only now I realized that it actually has a head above it

bro man went full math man making this video timed everything to its perfections This is amazing im gonna watch it again cus its cool

Even Draedon is suprised that he got beat by a minecart

This is just,fucking legendary

Unironically, the way most people beat the mechs is WAY dumber and much less work 😂 great video 100/10 ending

This is so action packed for it being stupid

This is the single most silly way I've seen a Calamity boss defeated. There's still some strategy involved, but also heehoo rollercoaster to annihilate the EXO Mechs.

This is absoultely hilarious and also embarrassing as all hell....You'd think it would have more skill to avoid it then just running away but then again this is Cal, A place where you can run/Circle nearly everything without threat of damage.

This is like Draedon meeting his old rival seeing if his silly contraptions can beat his greatest creations.

Missed opportunity to have a Luigi vanity set on while utilizing this strategy during the making of this video.
