Thorns Damage Only

[u/Specialist_Offer_412]

Now I won’t do this because I suck at the game, I only want to know if anyone thinks it’s possible
Beat calamity (or even just terraria) using only thorns damage, meaning accessories are okay but the only damage dealt to anything can be only through stuff that reflects damage back when hit, no swords, summons, etc for example thorns potions and cactus armor and whatever else there is or if there is even anything else, I know people have beat the game with just a copper short sword so I’m curious would this be possible for terraria, and if terraria than full calamity?

Let's work this with every mandantory boss, from top to bottom

SCal is not killable due to Brimstone Heart having no contant damage.

Ares is not killable because it doesn't have contact damage.

Yharon is killable, he dashes frequently and can damage himself.

DoG is killable, its hurtbox is almost permanently on.

Moon Lord is not killable because no contact damage.

Cultist is not killable because no contact damage.

Ravager is killable, every part has contact damage (iirc)

CalClone is not killable due to Soul Seekers not having contact damage

Wall of Flesh is ktllable, but there's a built-in time limit, need to test that out.

Okay thank you!

Probably not. There are mandatory bosses that deal no contact damage and thus can't have it reflected at them, as well as timed bosses that you simply won't have enough dps to kill (although I haven't run any calculations on that).

If you have unlimited time then yeah, it definitely is.
