Supreme Calamitas

"You seem so confident, even though you are painfully ignorant of what has yet to transpire."

Supreme Calamitas is a post-Moon Lord superboss that can be fought anywhere and at any time of day. She is currently the most challenging enemy in the Calamity Mod and is notoriously difficult, especially on Revengeance Mode or Death Mode. The player should be very well equipped both physically and mentally before taking her on.

Spawn
Supreme Calamitas does not spawn on her own and requires the player to summon her with the Eye of Extinction on the surface at any time after the player has killed at least one other boss. The Eye of Extinction is reusable, so Supreme Calamitas may be summoned any number of times. Her spawn quote will vary depending on the number of previous deaths to her.

Behavior
Upon spawning, Supreme Calamitas will create a 159x159 (inner available area is 157x157) rectangular arena made of unbreakable Arena Blocks. Leaving it will cause Supreme Calamitas to enrage, significantly increasing the velocity of all of her attacks and giving her 99% irreducible damage reduction.

Supreme Calamitas has several powerful attacks that she will switch between in a consistent cycle. She always remains either directly above or to the side of the player, only breaking position during Bullet Hell phases or during her devastating dash attacks.

Attacks
While Supreme Calamitas is mobile, she will switch between these attacks in a well defined cycle.
 * She charges at the player at an incredibly high speed, dealing massive damage. This occurs either 2 or 4 times in a row, depending on the position in the cycle.
 * At the start of the attack prior to charging, she will become fully translucent.
 * Once she enters her second phase, she will charge half as many times in a row.


 * She shoots bursts of 8  at the player, leaving similar-sized gaps between the projectiles. She performs either 3 or 4 bursts during an attack.
 * Some of the bursts are randomly replaced with firing a or a, which both home in on the player and explode into rings of Brimstone Darts after some time, or upon contact with blocks. This is the only occurence of randomness in her attack pattern.


 * She launches either 2 or 4 Brimstone Gigablasts (depending on the position in the cycle) with a constant delay between them.
 * She remains at the player's side and fires a barrage of, which accelerate towards the player. She shoots the Hellblasts horizontally once she has taken her position to the left/right of the player - however, she can already start shooting while in the process of homing towards this position. This can cause bullets to fly in non-horizontal directions.

Once she enters her second phase at 40% HP, the delays between her attacks as well as inside her attacks become shorter; she charges more aggressively and only half as often per attack.

Attack Cycle
Supreme Calamitas has a constant attack cycle which only interrupts when she is not attacking at all. Neither going through bullet-hell phases, nor switching to her second phase changes the current position in this cycle. It repeats once it is finished.

The attack cycle (starting as soon as the initial bullet-hell phase ends):


 * 1) Shoots bursts of Brimstone Darts
 * 2) Shoots a horizontal barrage of Brimstone Hellblasts
 * 3) Launches 2 Brimstone Gigablasts
 * 4) Charges 4 times (2 times in the second phase)
 * 5) Launches 2 Brimstone Gigablasts
 * 6) Shoots a horizontal barrage of Brimstone Hellblasts
 * 7) Shoots bursts of Brimstone Darts
 * 8) Charges 2 times (once in the second phase)
 * 9) Shoots bursts of Brimstone Darts
 * 10) Shoots a horizontal barrage of Brimstone Hellblasts
 * 11) Launches 4 Brimstone Gigablasts
 * 12) Shoots a horizontal barrage of Brimstone Hellblasts
 * 13) Charges 2 times (once in the second phase)
 * 14) Shoots bursts of Brimstone Darts
 * 15) Launches 4 Brimstone Gigablasts
 * 16) Charges 4 times (2 times in the second phase)
 * 17) Shoots bursts of Brimstone Darts
 * 18) Charges 2 times (once in the second phase)
 * 19) Shoots bursts of Brimstone Darts
 * 20) Charges 2 times (once in the second phase)
 * 21) Shoots bursts of Brimstone Darts

Note that every time she shoots bursts of Brimstone Darts, some bursts are replaced by Brimstone Fire- and Gigablasts.

Since it is a relatively long cycle with multiple occurences of every type of attack, it is time consuming to fully memorize and comprehend it. Whilst it is not necessary to do so, it proves beneficial when playing in harder difficulties and/or with special constraints, like the Iron Heart or (especially) the Defiled Rune and Armageddon.

Progression
Supreme Calamitas will perform these attacks once, triggered by her reaching certain amounts of health.
 * Upon spawning and at other points throughout the fight, she will summon a randomized "Bullet Hell" of vertical and horizontal Brimstone Hellblasts which travel from one edge of the player's screen to the other. She will be invincible and immobile until the Bullet Hell ends. The sequence of the Hellblasts' direction will always be the same during the Bullet Hell. After the Bullet Hell ends, she will become mobile and summon the Sepulcher to assist her. Ten immobile Brimstone Hearts will spawn along with it, positioned in the upper corners of the arena. When the last of these hearts are destroyed, the Sepulcher will instantly die. The Sepulcher doesn't deal contact damage but instead shoots bursts of Brimstone Darts in diagonal directions from its body segments (in descending order; from last to first segment). Supreme Calamitas will be invincible until the Sepulcher is killed.
 * Upon reaching 75% health, the next Bullet Hell triggers, in which Supreme Calamitas will fire Brimstone Fireblasts at the player from the sidelines. This occurs in every Bullet Hell hereafter.
 * Upon reaching 50% health, the next Bullet Hell triggers, in which Supreme Calamitas will also fire Brimstone Gigablasts at the player along with the previous projectiles. This occurs in every Bullet Hell hereafter.
 * Upon reaching 45% health, she will summon her brothers, Supreme Catastrophe and Supreme Cataclysm, to assist her. Supreme Calamitas will be invincible and immobile while they are alive. They both remain a set distance to the left and right of the player, slowly moving up and down. Supreme Cataclysm is on the right and will fire in the player's direction, and Supreme Catastrophe is on the left and will fire Brimstone Hellblasts at the player. Both will periodically shoot bursts of Brimstone Darts at the player. When one of the brothers is killed, the other will shoot his respective projectile and Brimstone Darts at a faster pace while moving up and down faster. When both brothers are killed, Supreme Calamitas resumes attacking the player.
 * Upon reaching 40% health, she transitions into her second phase, her body now featuring molten streaks. From now on, she will perform half as many charge attacks in a row.
 * Upon reaching 30% health, the next Bullet Hell triggers, and Supreme Calamitas will summon massive invincible which move towards the player at varying speeds and persist throughout the rest of the fight (they despawn after 10 minutes, but the fight does not last this long under normal circumstances). The Monsters do not interact and can stack on top of each other.
 * In Normal Mode, they will not spawn.
 * In Expert Mode, will spawn.
 * In Revengeance Mode and Death Mode, will spawn.
 * Upon reaching 20% health, she will summon a large rotating ring of 20 Supreme Soul Seekers around herself, which fire synchronous volleys of Brimstone Darts at the player. Supreme Calamitas is invulnerable to damage until the Soul Seekers are killed.
 * Upon reaching 10% health, the final Bullet Hell will begin, featuring every projectile introduced thus far, with the inclusion of Brimstone Flame Skulls which fly in a wave pattern.
 * Upon reaching 8% health, she will summon the Sepulcher and its 10 Brimstone Hearts again. Supreme Calamitas will once again become invulnerable until its hearts are killed.
 * Upon reaching 1% health, she will lose all her other abilities, the monster orbs will disappear, she will stop moving, she will no longer inflict contact damage, and she becomes invulnerable. After a status message and a delay, Supreme Calamitas will become vulnerable again.

In Revengeance Mode

 * Massively increased speed and moves far more aggressively.

In Death Mode

 * The arena created by Supreme Calamitas is now 127x127 (inner available area is 125x125) blocks.

Resistances

 * Supreme Calamitas and her brothers take 1/2 damage from the Son of Yharon minion summoned by Yharon's Kindle Staff and the Godly Soul Artifact.
 * Supreme Calamitas cannot be hurt by any attack that would deal more than 50% of her health in one hit, such as another mod's butcher function or an incredibly powerful weapon. When hit by such an attack, the damage of the attack is reduced to 0.

Tips

 * Making an arena can potentially increase mobility, which is useful for dodging Supreme Calamitas' fast attacks.
 * Supreme Calamitas' dash can sometimes deal fatal damage, so it's recommended to attack with weapons that have decent range and/or homing ability which will make it easier to dodge her dashes.
 * Don't bother trying to attack Supreme Calamitas during the Bullet Hell phases or when the Sepulcher and its Brimstone Hearts are still alive. She will be immune to damage during them.
 * Try to master the first Bullet Hell phase. The projectiles are far more damaging at the beginning and they deal less damage in the further phases, so it's better to take as little damage as possible in the first attack.
 * During the first Bullet Hell phase, do not panic and move about too much as the blasts in this phase are extremely deadly and occasionally spawn in groups. Getting hit during this phase could potentially lead to the player's early demise.
 * During Bullet Hell phases, it's good in some cases to stick to a wall when the projectiles are only moving from one side, as it may be easier to dodge them. Be sure to watch out for the Fireblasts and Gigablasts that home in on the player.
 * It is recommended to move vertically before a bullet hell ends to prevent getting hit by Supreme Calamitas' projectiles as she resumes her attacks.
 * Fly in the direction of the Brimstone Hellblasts Supreme Calamitas spawns during her Bullet Hell phases and be sure to fly slowly. This will help prevent the player from being hit by unnoticed projectiles or dashing/running into them.
 * If Supreme Calamitas' brothers are alive and the player is at low health, it may be advisable to delay attacking the brothers and heal. Especially when only one is alive, many of the projectiles are simple to dodge, so it may prove as a good opportunity to regenerate health or even wait for God Slayer Cooldown to wear off.
 * At the end of each Bullet Hell phase, all of Supreme Calamitas' projectiles spawned during the phase will fade out and disappear. While fading out, these projectiles will not deal damage.

Trivia

 * The song heard during the battle against Supreme Calamitas is Stained, Brutal Calamity, which was composed by the artist DM DOKURO. This song contains full lyrics sung by a choir as well as DM DOKURO himself. Different sections of the song play as the fight progresses (at 100% / 50% / 30% / 1% boss health), each section representing a different perspective of the fight.
 * The version that plays in-game is slightly modified in order for the track to loop properly:
 * "Grief" plays from the start of the battle to the third Bullet Hell.
 * "Lament" plays from the third Bullet Hell until the fourth.
 * "Epiphany" plays from the fourth Bullet Hell until she stops attacking.
 * "Acceptance" plays when she stops attacking.
 * Grief and Lament represents Supreme Calamitas' and the player's view points respectively, Epiphany represents a 3rd voice, and Acceptance represents Supreme Calamitas' defeat.
 * The video for this song features Alice Kensington, also known as OtherButtons, as a voice actress for Supreme Calamitas.
 * Despite not being composed with the same gimmick as Raw, Unfiltered Calamity, the theme contains a few motifs from past themes in Calamity's soundtrack.
 * The majority of the song contains motifs from Raw, Unfiltered Calamity (Calamitas), Now Stop Asking Where (a previous placeholder theme) and The Step Below Hell / Left Alone (Brimstone Crag / Brimstone Elemental).
 * The theme also contains motifs from two of DM DOKURO's older songs, which are not related to the Calamity Mod.
 * If the Calamity Music add-on mod is disabled, Boss 2 replaces Grief, Boss 3 replaces Lament, the Moon Lord's theme replaces Epiphany, and Eerie replaces Acceptance.
 * Previously, her theme was a remix of the Boss 2 theme made by silentzorah. It was then changed to Calamitas' theme, Raw Unfiltered Calamity, made by DM DOKURO. It was then changed again to an original track by energykid, known as Now Stop Asking Where, a reference to the fervent and frequent requests sent to DM DOKURO asking him when he would compose Supreme Calamitas' dedicated theme.
 * Despite being a boss, Supreme Calamitas will not drop a mask, or a Treasure Bag in Expert Mode. The items will drop normally as if the player was playing in Normal Mode.
 * Supreme Calamitas is a "Superboss" in this mod. In some RPG games, superbosses are extremely powerful enemies that are very challenging even if the player has endgame equipment.
 * The "lord" mentioned in one of her quotes is likely referring to the Jungle Tyrant, Yharim, whom she is enslaved to, as stated in the mod's lore.
 * Supreme Calamitas is one of only two bosses to drop a Death Mode-exclusive item, the other being The Devourer of Gods.
 * In older versions of the Calamity Mod, Supreme Calamitas had a hit-counter mechanic (better known as a "Hit Cap") where players could only be hit a certain number of times until they were killed instantly, regardless of damage taken. She would say "You got hit too many times...noice. Did you take lessons from Leviathan?" The same quote was used if the player died under the effects of Armageddon.
 * The "Leviathan" mentioned in her Armageddon hit-cap quote is in reference to the YouTuber Leviathan, who is known for his challenges and documentation about the Calamity Mod, including numerous fights against Supreme Calamitas.
 * Before the Calamitas Clone was given its own lore entry, Supreme Calamitas's lore entry simply stated: "The true battle. The first one was just a clone."
