NPCs & Enemies Make the Dreadnautilus a real boss, etc.

[Cardepiano]

Dready has no love for being some epic demon you might be able to summon from the sea during a blood moon, the fight is ok, but I feel like it could use an overhaul, one that turns it into a proper boss, it could do a tad bit more damage and have more drops, and perhaps have an enraged form of sorts, not much else I want to ask to see happen tbh. On the note of item overhauls, two stand out, both ranged, both guns, the uzi's rarity to damage output seems bad, by the time most people get it, they have better gear, it's a really awesome weapon, but it's window of use is so very small, if it did just a enough to put it on the same level as the Venus Magnum I feel it would be viable. The second weapon I speak of is the Vortex Beater, as it's immediately forgotten after just a few fights with Moon Lord, I feel like if it had a more interesting attack that made it not necessarily viable, but satisfying, like with the xenopopper, which I'll haul around because it's fun to use.

Dread: They thought of this and decided against it. Making it a boss would be more unnecessary work so I don't see why.

Uzi has really good damage output. It's pre mech, why are you comparing it to a post plantera weapon?

The sole purpose of pillar weapons is ml and pillars, which vbeater does well at. It has a secondary homing projectile. Dunno what else you want.

I agree that the Dreadnautilus should be a boss. It’s too cool to not be one. It even has an unused trophy for it. Also Dready sounds like a good name for the master mode exclusive pet that it would have if it was a boss.

Fair point, but I mentioned uzi not because it's bad, but because it's so easily replaced. By the time most people get it, they have already gotten better loot, what I want more than a damage boost is for it to be obtained easier. As for the beater, I'm aware that pillar weapons exist to bridge the gap between pillars and ML, but it's the only one I never see people using after ML, all solar weapons are good and see reuse, as do mage and summon weapons (unless you got terraprisma) and the phantasm is quite honestly the best bow.

All I want is a life bar, a trophy, and both Master Mode loot.
The pet of the little Bloody Nautilus (name used on purpose) would be so cute orbiting around the player.

You literally said "make it deal damage similar to venus magnum", don't say that you wanted it to be easily obtainable instead of being stronger now.

I do agree that the drop rate should be higher, but that wasn't what you initially said.

No one uses pillar weapons except summoner after getting their moonlord class drop. Last prism and lunar flare far surpass blaze and arcanum and zenith is far better than any other melee weapon.
