This is the video I was working on before the unfortunate news last week, so it might be a big tonal shift for some. Hope you're all doing well
NOOOOOOOOO
No worries Chippy, we all appreciate the work you're putting in! :>
Which video of yours shows the storage chests being connected together into groups AND having the ability to push the items across the spaces to make empty spaces? (Maybe using Left-Right Arrows)
Understandable. Thanks for putting this out instead of canceling it due to the unfortunate news. RIP Jason.
You too
My head cannon for the Dryad turning into a tree is her returning as one with nature. Not necessarily "passing on" as in dying, but in a way where she can finally rest after all that has happened. I think she was more so created by the world to help protect the world with the other Dryads.
Or, that's how new druids are born. She's bringing back her race.
@Alex Ramos Not a bad theory either. Hopefully we get a confirmed answer and more lore for Terraria.
@@alexramos7708 With the corruption of Cuthullu gone, she would be able to bring forth new seed from her fruits without the dangers of being tainted.
Good call.
Otherwise any dickhead with an axe could end up killing third best girl.
Well, going off what I know as a Mythology nerd, Dryads are Ancient Greek tree spirits. Originally, the Hamadryad was only tied to the Oak tree but later the term Dryad referred to all trees. Sub-species as an example were the Daphnaie, spirits of Laurel trees, and Caryatids, spirits of Walnut trees. Acorns are the "fruit" of the Oak tree, and while all Terrarian trees drop acorns for reproductive purposes, there are two types of Giant "Living" Tree, the Mahogany, and the unnamed regular tree. Why are they "Living Wood" trees? What if they're the old Dryads who perished? Why do they contain treasure chests? It was everything they were carrying upon death, sort of like a little sarcophagus.
My theory suggests that the Dryad has transformed into a Giant Living Oak shrub and will grow into a new Livingwood Tree, but one that will not stop growing and will bear Dryad acorns that will sprout new Dryads for the future. Worth noting that Living Leaf blocks don't drop acorns.
I kinda want to add that the Mod of Redemption now has a Forest Nymph NPC, and she mentions that she wants someplace made of living wood with a pool of water, her housing requirements specify as such. It is so she can sink her roots into the ground and "blossom", and when she starts "blossoming", she won't hesitate to kill anyone, even the other NPCs, in order to defend her young. The Terrarian Dryad's reproduction would be a less violent form of this cycle.
It also implies that even if the Dryads are "dead", destroying Living Trees is desecrating their graves, and that if you build a house out of Living Wood and Leaf Blocks for your Dryad, it's no different than using Flesh and Bone blocks as a housing for the human NPCs. Also has creepy implications about that Forest Nymph, feeding on dead Dryads to reproduce....
One thing that a dev green lit for accepted lore via a tweet:
Witch Doctor is deathly allergic to bees. This is why that NPC isn't around until after you kill the Queen Bee.
So that is why he always dies when I relight the queen bee
heheh... GREEN lit...
I love it when green gets lit
which doctor?
@@chrismc1287the witch doctor he is
I'd Imagine the Dryad is going into a Hibernation state until the next big threat reemerges.
You mean, until I need wood
@@italiancat.5202 LMAO
@@italiancat.5202 hold up
Dryad was sent to ocram's house
I think she awakens every time you re-summon a boss post-moonlord
Crazy that Chippy can go an entire video talking about the credits without mentioning that he's in them lmao
It's because he's a good content creator who isn't obsessed with annoying amounts of self-promotion.
@@Bored_Overthinker how would it be promotion if we’re already watching his video
It's more like he doesn't wanna ruin the good flow of the video

Don't glorify these folks, they're here to earn money off of you
wait, chippy is in the credits?
i do love how they casually befriend lizahrds after you've gone to their temple, killed 2000+ of them and killed their golem ten times for money
To be fair, it's the champion of Terraria who's doing genocide, not the NPC's
Its not about the money batman
Yeah, you kind of are the bad guy in this situation, You come in, kill them all, then destroy their God for no real good reason, I have trouble seeing us as the good guy in that scenario
@@flying-magpieI mean, doing it so that you can challenge the biggest threat to the world is a damn good reason
@@flying-magpie"for no real good reason"
I think the Golem's influence is being used by the lunatic cult to make them invisible.
I love that the Pirate basically adopts the Angler. Found family at its finest
and then they get killed by Duke Fishron
@@feedo1 yup 😂
@@feedo1 Nah, the Angler just leaves, remember?
No, *I* kill the angler after the 200th fishing quest in a fit of rage.
@@sunfire8147 that is not possible due to angle being one of 2 kid npcs in the game who dont die but leave your world
I love that some npcs get bittersweet endings that some up their whole characters, meanwhile the demolitionist just goes out for a pint
Demolitionist and arms dealer learn that they're both more powerful if they work together
@@lsswappedcessna Exploding Bullets are dope af. They both make things go boom, why can't they make things go boom together?
@XRandomCityX May your gold satchels be heavy

The nurse gave them time to talk, and they discovered they share one thing in common: an undying love for gunpowder. In my mind, they strike a brand deal.
The Truffle being eaten by the clothier: bad ending
The Guide being eaten by a zombie: neutral ending
The Guide:
eating the zombie
i want them to make cthulu a boss. just cthulu as a whole
@@TechnobladeNeverDies8592congrats, that's the Moon Lord.
@@ChargeQM . I meant with everything. last time i checked cthuhlu had LEGS
im talkin actual graphix. moonlord isnt actually cthuhlu its kinda like a shell. he would look different and be associated with water attacks@@DukeCultron
I just realized how much lore I missed just by not paying attention to the credits
same
"The world is cleansed, I must go." -The Dryad becoming a tree
Me with some Crimson seeds: *I wonder what happens if I-*
Player: Gets slapped by a random branch.
Dryad: 'Untrees herself' listen here you little-
Funny how the Dryads managed to completely dismantle Cthulu, but weren't able to destroy his heart, which is how you kill him in game.
Probably because of the life sucking tentacles
this guy has like 3 hearts
The dude has eyes on his hands, I wouldn't be surprised if he also had 2 more brains up his asshole or something like that
probably a case of "not enough numbers" if I were to take a guess. They never said exactly how plentiful they were in number, only that there was just one survivor. They might've been able to dismantle him, but got wiped out by a successful last ditch effort from Cthulu's part before they were capable of landing the final blow.
@@SeathThePawn a developer actually confirmed the moon lord isnt chtulu, but his half brother (i dont f**king know)
5:47 One of the skeleton merchant dialogues mentions how he lost his hand so he finally finds it in the credits :)
But he has 2 hands
Now he has all three again!
Yes. I also noticed this and happy to see that someone else knew this too
I like to imagine the Truffle and Clothier have a bit of a Tom and Jerry type thing going on. Endlessly chasing each other and only occasionally getting a break from one another
The Clothier gets a good ending. He finally realizes his greatest wish to eat the Truffle, and even if imprisoned, he's still happy. After all, he likes the Cave biome as he is already used to the Dungeon lifestyle, it was the curse that made him miserable.
My idea of what could happen is
The truffle has children and they "mysteriously" go missing
so that means, a single sneeze from the truffle could make him an army
@@Lftarded army of food
@@nobody..--. me when i ignore the cockroach with egg sacs on its back walk across the kitchen floor
@@itsukarine no
The credits are absolutely perfect, except for the fact the Stylist doesn’t get a segment! Like why out of all the NPCs is she excluded? Chippy lowkey needs to ask Red why she’s left out.
she got stuck in the web again
@@pidbul530 good
Coke
All my homies hate the stylist
I love the stylist 😂😭
”The thing i hate about the dryad is that you cant remove the vines on her body” -something i heard on a npc teir list
Everyone getting good and nice ending
Truffle npc:NO NO NO NO NO WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT
The Dryad is the last of her kind, and we've been cutting trees all these years. I might just feel differently the next time I have to collect more wood.
According to what she turned into, it might be relatively easy to recognize a Dryad tree.
Though quite possibly not, as it could grow until their shape is unrecognizable to that of a normal tree. Maybe you could grow your own trees via buying them off the Dryad while they’re present, in order to avert murdering an ancient Dryad.
You can find crafting tables in hell, and also mine wood for the torches of a furnace from underground houses.
@@numberstheidiot perhaps a living tree is what old dryads could be
@@numberstheidiot if your theory id correct then burrying the drayad should produce a large tree
@@kingofgrim4761 That wouldn’t be the case if the living trees existed when there was only one Dryad left.
But if that could possibly be due to how only one was SEEN remaining. If so, then that WOULD explain why they’re *Living* trees.
@@numberstheidiot I think when they lay to rest or die they turn to trees, the last dryad did it willingly, the others, not so much
I mean... you fight a giant floating eyeball. Was the lore being crazy really unexpected 😂
Then you fight 2 giant cyborg eyeballs that can shoot flames and lasers
and tbf, the lore (or the ending at least) wasn't even that crazy!
@@boredboi6279 don't forget about slaying the King of Demons, which is basically a giant piece of somehow raw steak with eyes and teeth
@@staringgasmask oh the wall of flesh
@@staringgasmask that also just so happens to be the true form of a normal looking dude who fell victim to a curse. What is it with curses in Terraria? You have the homeless guy outside the local haunted prison, cursed to be a disembodied skeleton head with two floating arms, you have the Zoologist, bitten by a fox and turned into a furry by some kind of lycanthropic curse the animal was carrying, the Golfer somehow gets lycanthropy from being immersed in some shiny pink liquid, and then you have the Guide, who is cursed to turn into a giant monster made of raw steak whenever he's burned to death. Then you have a seemingly endless number of werewolves who descend upon the world once the WoF is slain, vampires during a solar eclipse, etc.
Curses upon curses, upon even more curses!
7:12 I suspect the dryad was a tree up until the eye is defeated, hence why she's never been found, she was hiding in plain sight, or more accurately lying dormant waiting for the player and now that they're either gone or the planet no longer needs saving, she returns to a dormant state. Perhaps like an actual tree she needs to produce seeds to plant more dryads for future generations to protect the world from further threats, since relying on a single all powerful hero for long isn't exactly wise in the off chance they turn evil.
Some trees only reproduce if you set them on fire. Does that mean I need to burn the Dryad in order to make more Dryads?
Thats what i thought, when the player defeats the eye of cthulu the dryad must have thought that apperently there was still a chance to beat ctuhlu
@@psyxypher3881what
@@youwantmyname9208 Some trees such as some species of pine need fire for the seeds to "activate" so he was wondering if you need to burn the Dryad to have her seeds grow at least that's what I'm assuming
ive always thought the remaining dryads turned into the living trees we see in our worlds hence why theyre different to the other trees everywhere else and the dryad is eventually going to become another living tree
considering the kind of game Terraria is, having strange lore is pretty fitting for it
I feel like I see you everywhere- Do you watch toycat?
"Cakes great, good ending"
Truer words have never been spoken
peak lore, the guide dying from leaving the door open is a truely fitting ending.
5:15 I think this depends on your playthrough completion, if you at any point before or after the moonlord (assuming the credits take place in a distant future once the player returns to wherever they came or disappears into nothing or whatever.) kill duke fishron in that world, the angler doesn't catch anything and was pranking the captain, otherwise....
R.I.P Pirate Captain.
R.I.A Angler.
RIA as in Rest in Agony I assume XD
I agree
From now on, never killing fishron then. Rest in Anguish you little shit. Poor captain tho.
unless you play in expert and have a cute Fishron
when the player leaves, the cute Fishron can grow into a Duke Fishron
I highly doubt the angler was ever intending to actually use the truffle worm as bait.
Seeing his usual personality, I'm pretty sure he's just being an ass and trying to freak the pirate captain out. He knows EXACTLY what that worm does. Look at how he's laughing as he makes his exit.
I mean, outside of Terarria lore, dryads are tree spirits, merging with and/or becoming trees is just something they can do in most stories.
I imagine that the guide wasn’t killed but instead ran and cried like a little baby to the player who now has post-moonlord gear
I think a fun idea for the next game would be to reintroduce the Lihzahrds, but as friendly NPCs to help the player!
But that's exactly what the witch doctor is
@@spv4711 I think he meant the entire race helping you, like an entirely different npc town in the temple perhaps?
That would be cool if in the next version of terraria they could have a section where you have to go into the old lizhard temple with the new npcs to try and remake golem to fight for the player. Would be a cool endgame summon to get mini golem as a fighter and like the stardust dragon he grows in size the more minion slots available 😊
@@jacobgeiger4589 You're making either a metal golem or the golem with metal replacement
@@spv4711 it could be like a play on the mechanical bosses since his variant is a pet/summon but of simmilar design to the other bosses
The crimson is actually beyond horrific, I hope they explore more about it and the fallen worlds in T2
The crimson is one of my favorite things about this game, id love anything we can get relating to it lmao
yeah i always picked crimson over corruption because it feels like an actual blistering wound inflicted on the world instead of purple zombie magic goop
The crimson always felt like chuthulu lost many more limbs and chunks of flesh and as with the brain and eyes they grew sentience and the crimson may be his body growing and leeching from the land to grow into a copy of him and the caves are large organisms being kept alive by the hearts found within
@Flippermango451 imo it was worse than even him. What would be cool of in the next game we got to travel to the fallen worlds and fight similar old gods on said planets
If I had to build a theory about it, I'd say the clothier's ending my hint at how he got cursed: by eating something he shouldn't have. The most likely cursed food that he could find would probably be from the many parts of Cthulhu, but there's several things in Terraria that shouldn't put in someone's mouth. Yummy?
Ehhhh it's probably the cultist since the cultist owns the dungeons
@@earthconqueror Someone: “Yo, what are you eating? How is it?”
Clothier: “Cultist. Not as deep a flavor as I anticipated. Also, very crunchy.”
Someone Else: “Those are PEOPLE, man! That was a guy in a cult! You’re so gonna get cursed!”
Clothier: “The pursuit of thrilling flavor is - wait, I don’t feel great. My vision is going a cloudy and mysterious blue. Such a tasty looking… color… I must go to the dungeon.”
@@TinyTikiTree i mean cultist was the one who put curse on clother
I think that when the dryad turns into a tree, it’s symbolizing how she has done what she set out to do, which is bring peace to Terraria. Now that she has succeeded with a little help from the Terrarian (the player), she can finally rest once more, and be one with nature again, as the Moon Lord has been terminated once and for all.
Side note: The Clothier chuckling as he’s chasing the Truffle leads me to believe that he was just messing with the Truffle, so I think it’s a good ending for both of them (as long as the Truffle can forgive him).
I think some of the scenes in the credits aren't exactly an ending but a show of daily lifes in the world of terraria after defeating the moonlord. Its like the very ending was actually is that they get back to a wonderful peace and joyous life.
I want to see these lores continued/expanded/revisited in Terraria 2~
Imagine a village of lizardmen~
Imagine a Truffle Village with dialogues peraining to he Terror of the REDCAP [not a red cap mushroom]
imagine the goblin offsprings
The clothier should return in that game but in those mushroom villages hiding somewhere.
I'd interpret the dryad turning into a tree as the quote, "from dust we came, and to dust we shall return".
*"She"* finally achieved what her ancestors could not do, she fulfilled her destiny and nature is forever in harmony, so now she can rest and rejoin her ancestors.
I love the design of the lihzahrds, so knowing that they potentially get a happy ending makes me very glad
I wonder if any of this lore could make it’s way into a potential terraria 2. My favourite idea of mine is that you spawn by the dryad tree, and it can’t be moved, set as your spawn point (until you reach a high enough power to move it or something)
Since the Dryad turned into a tree in the credits, could that mean that some trees in the Terraria world are other dryads as well?
*Hides axe behind back* Oops..
Time to commit deforestation.
Whoopsie doodle
Does that make Lucy the Axe a serial killer?
She is the last of her kind...
When you finish the game...
Ig you also avenge her entire race, so the tree chopped b4 isnt a dryad at all
i think the dryad turning into a tree is sort of like passing on, but in a way to revitalize the species. i mean
it's sort of a plant, so maybe it ends up having seeds?
I can't look at an acorn the same way again
The golfer is actually older than the zoologist, not the other way around. Small thing I know but just wanted to say that.
More than anything this makes me hyped for the possibility of terraria 2. Having Cthulhu as a final boss would be epic, having friendly Lhizards, and other possible continuations of current plot would be awesome
5:46 The curse was from a Corrupt or Crimson fox, the shimmer I'm assuming is dependant on some other factors than those...
Relogic where my fox critters
I personally always just thought that the tree was just the Dryad sleeping and she can turn in and out of tree form at will like the dryads in greek mythology
the guide "dies"
Chippy "yeah thats not bad, i'd say neutral"
5:47 i think in a dialogue he mentioned that someone asked him for a hand and never got it back and this credit animation shows him finding a hand replacement
This is a nice lovely video, I haven't though about those end credit animations that much. Good to see them passed over with some lore context
“Even when he has met his demise, he will be replaced” -CG
I like to think that the land where dirt sells for a good price is the Not the Bees seed
Strange lore for a stranger game, only makes sense
My head canon for the Dryad is after defeating the moon lord her job is finished so she turns into a tree, sleeping waiting for the time when she is needed once again.
5:20: Small note, the Golfer is the older brother of the Zoologist.
4:02 "Dye Keeper"
I thought it was Dye Trader.
i mean, he *does* keep dye... until you give him strange plants. then he gives it away!
Hold up wait a minute...
Terraria's lore is really goofy
- The official lore says the Cultist is trying to summon Moon Lord, but sometimes he's trying to stop him
- Skeletron is supposed to be ML's skeleton but has a glaring lack of eye sockets
- There's only one Skeletron/Old Man, one WoF, and one Dryad which leads me to believe that all the NPCs are the same person when they respawn
- Red said that ML is *_the_* Guide's father. That's right, *_the_* Guide. As in the one we had the entire time
I mean, a lot of it is just jokes that aren't meant to be taken seriously at all (not that the regular lore is particularly serious either), especially the one about the moon lord being the guide's father. Iirc, red also said the nymph/lost girl is the guide's grandmother, and the groom and bride zombies are the angler's parents. And regarding NPC respawning, the guide might be the only one who "canonically" dies in the story, because only his death is required to progress in the game. So perhaps the guide is the only npc there are multiples of
ooo ive never been so early :D Nice to see another upload, love you chippy
4:39 dude, YOU’RE the clothier!
I really enjoyed this style of video, it would be cool if you did more like it :)
I'd love to see videos about terraria's lore, I love stuff like this and I had no idea it existed!
This is one of my favorite videos you’ve made ❤
I will say man, after a 2 year hiatus after stumbling apon one of your recent videos you’ve gotten me back into the game and rekindled a love that I once had.
Cleaned up 4 of my old main worlds and started my final mega world.
8:28 those lizzards seem awefully familiar-
*The air is getting warmer around you*
*The Tyrants wrath is getting stronger*
Ahhh.... well fu-
Oh my god i saw the same short and was confused as hell haha, i am so glad you made this video!!!
keep up the videos, very excited for future content
Personally, I see the dryads ending as her finally getting some well deserved rest. Making all that purification solution isn't easy, no doubt, so she's just getting a proper day of traditional dryad sleep
It's never a bad day when Chippy comes at you with another interesting video!
The guide does a lot of sitting for me. It’s the nurse that opens all the doors.
At the end of the credits when the player spawns every npc but the dryad jumps up and cheers
Wow its been a while since I've watched your videos. Terraria has changed so much since 2015
I imagine The Skeleton Merchant and The Travelling Merchant doing a loooooooong handshake
so being a furry is a curse? I knew it!
The terraria lore is crazy ngl
This was really interesting! I think it also gives hints for what could come if Re-Logic's next game is Terraria 2. Maybe a few decades or centuries down the road, Cthulu is rebuilt and it's up to a new hero to take them down. Could even have the Dryad awaken from her tree form to aid the player. Perhaps it's a quest to find her people who were only thought to be killed, but had in fact gone to another planet?
I have already subscribed and you have provided me a lot of good videos
Rad video👍 and I love all of your videos! :D
2:09 Seeing Chippy dash straight into that Cthulunado gave me intense physical pain
i just get back from dinner and i see this lol
Great video, chippy!
Dryads often turn into plants to basically just sleep
The arms dealer definitely got a happy ending
Wait a minute...
god, i totally forgot about that lore post lmao
felt so random.
and the fact that you took it 100% seriously for a video is great. Had no clue anyone was capable of doing that lol.
I tried to avoid the ending of terraria in each playthrough cus I didn’t want to end the magic it had in my eyes but after years upon years of playing I finally brought myself to the end of terraria and cheesy as it sounds this interpretation really brought back memories of past playthroughs with friends and alone and it genuinely brought a tear to my eye
Clothier might have PTSD after being cursed for so long and truffle mushrooms are his coping drug.
In the ending he goes mad because of the drug abuse and eats the Truffle. Funny game!
The Dryad-turning-tree is a reference to Arthurian mythos and how Merlin becomes a tree after being… coerced… by a nymph.
not necessarily. it's just what dryads do in their mythology
2:10 excelent argument, i shall sub right now chippy
thank you, the dirt will be in the mail
The guide opens the door to the zombie because he thinks it's a person nocking on the door
maybe the dryad turned into a tree to make seeds that would sprout into other dryads, to continue her race
I personally believe that Dryads were born from a Tree like an Apple for example, so when Dryad turned into a Tree she might give fruit of life to repopulate the race. I think it's reasonable and sweet
the npcs: have happy endings
the player(s) returning to kill the moonlord again just for fun
Pirate being a good man and trying to warn the naive Angler of great dangers in the seas.
I guess that's how he lost his crew and ship, someone tried fishing up food for the crew, with a Truffle Worm of all things... oof..
Dungeon Defenders was the last game I was expecting to hear, I played that with my older brothers when I was much younger and I have nothing but good memories from it, nice little treasure of a memory 😁
5:01 the angler is a prankster. In a lot of quests he mentions putting fish in peoples dressers and stuff. I bet he showed the captain the truffle worm to mess with him.
Thanks chippy, you help me go to bed when I can't
Maybe all those Giant Trees in Terraria are former Dryads?
Off topic, but I love how the play button in mobile fits PERFECTLY with your ring of fire.
I always saw the Dryad part as her just going into hibernation almost, waiting for the next threat to Terraria...
I’m very very sure the Dryad simply went back into He true form until another worldly threat appears.
The thing that he killed the wof the very second he said "peace" gave me so much satisfaction
You should actually do a sort of reaction / analysis on Rational Gamers’ own lore videos.
The story he crafted is underrated, and better than what relogic put together in my opinion.
He’s also fairly underrated within the terraria community from my experience.
tax collector is clearly getting a naughty present.
*installs Thorium and Calamity mod*
NPCs: "oh ffs"
Wow I knew a little about terraria lore and I havent really payed attention to the pictures at the end of the game this is so sick
Someone needs to do an experiment. Throw a few thousand Druids at the moon lord and see who wins.
