Did you use the special life fruits? Also, what's your armor/accessories?
No fruits yet. Was using the moon lord Vortex armor (eventually switched to Thorium Ragnarok ranged set, better stats, same problem). Accessories were, I think, Elsyian Aegis, Ankh Shield, Angel Treads, Worm Scarf, Force of Life, Warding Affliction, though I've also tried with a wide variety of others (ex. Cross Necklace for iframes, Palladium Enchantment for heals, Gunner class token from ExperienceandClasses, etc), all reforged to Warding because I suck at dodging and defense is fun.
I don't THINK the problem is my gear - I beat the bosses with equal or worse stuff last time - but that... according to wiki, on Normal difficulty, DoG segment damage is 250 on normal, 500 on expert. I'm playing normal, and with all defensive potions up I think I have something like 30% damage reduction, ~160-180 defense depending on gear setup - and his segments STILL instantly kill me when I touch them. On Normal. With 801 HP, 195 defense currently if I really push the defense totals with ALL the potions/Warding def boosting stuff I can find. Cross Necklace doesn't help. Even in the Providence and Profaned Core battles, with the Cores doing (again, according to wiki) ~95-140 contact damage and Providence herself only doing 110, I still get gibbed.
Pre-post edit: I spent a while switching all the gear I had in and out individually, running 1 accessory at a time. It seems that the Force of Life accessory from Fargo's mod may have been the cause, without it equipped I actually survive a lot better. I know it didn't have any negative effect last time, maybe he changed something? I'll look into it, sorry for wasting your time, I think I was too focused on "I'm doing everything similarly, why am I having different results?"
Still not sure why that accessory only seems to interact negatively with Calamity bosses though.

This update came out just now, but I dunno when it’s being posted to the thread.
I’m hopefully not doing something wrong here.
Thanks for posting in topic!
