Unlocking Draedon’s Secrets: A Guide to Summoning the Inventors in Calamity Mod
So, you’re itching to tinker with technology beyond comprehension and delve into the advanced creations of Draedon himself? To do that, you’ll need to meet the masterminds behind the machinery: The Inventors. Here’s the lowdown on how to summon these technological titans in the Calamity Mod:
The Inventors are summoned by using a Draedon Power Cell on a Wulfrum Signal Transmitter. Doing this will send out transmission waves, and the Inventors will appear, ready to unleash their cutting-edge arsenal.
Let’s break down the summoning process and address some burning questions you might have. Get ready, because things are about to get technical.
Understanding the Key Components
Before you can summon the Inventors, you need to understand the two crucial ingredients: the Draedon Power Cell and the Wulfrum Signal Transmitter.
The Draedon Power Cell
This isn’t your run-of-the-mill battery. The Draedon Power Cell is a testament to advanced energy manipulation, a key to unlocking Draedon’s automated forces. You can craft it using the following recipe:
- Auric Bar (5): A refined metal of immense power, crafted from Auric Ore.
- Life Alloy (5): A vibrant alloy imbued with the essence of life.
- Core of Eleum (1): A frozen heart of pure elemental energy.
- Core of Havoc (1): A chaotic core crackling with unpredictable energy.
You need a Draedon’s Forge to craft a Draedon Power Cell.
The Wulfrum Signal Transmitter
This device is your key to contacting the Inventors. The Wulfrum Signal Transmitter is a pre-Hardmode structure. The Wulfrum Signal Transmitter is found in the surface layer. It appears as a large, ruined structure, and looks like a half-cylinder with a glass tube in the middle. These transmitters appear in the surface layer of the world generation. It is essential for contacting the Inventors.
The Summoning Ritual: Step-by-Step
Alright, you’ve got the components. Now, let’s put it all together:
- Locate a Wulfrum Signal Transmitter: Find one of the structures in the world. They’re relatively common.
- Equip the Draedon Power Cell: Make sure the cell is in your inventory and equip it.
- Activate the Transmitter: Approach the Wulfrum Signal Transmitter and use the Draedon Power Cell on it. This will typically involve right-clicking on the transmitter while the Power Cell is selected.
- Prepare for Battle: Once activated, the transmitter will send out signals, and shortly after, the Inventors will materialize, ready to engage in combat. Be prepared!
Tips for the Fight
- Arena: Prepare a suitable arena near the Wulfrum Signal Transmitter. A wide, open space is best.
- Gear: This is a Hardmode fight, so make sure you have appropriate gear.
- Potions: Buff up with potions.
