History VideoGame / FargosMod

** The [[spoiler:three siblings fight using the combined abilities of the events/monsters they sell summons for, and the Mutant also incorporates attacks from [[InfinityPlusOneSword weapons made from Eternal Energy]].]]

** The ''Fargo's Soul Mod Extras'' that adds a few miscellaneous features, but most importantly aims to implement cross-mod Souls and Enchantments for popular mods such as ''VideoGame/TerrariaCalamity'' and ''VideoGame/TheThoriumMod'', ensuring they aren't left out from the player's journey. It has since been updated with the intention of providing Eternity compatibility for other modded bosses, as well as custom Champions and mechanics.

* CloseContactDangerBenefit: The Sparkling Adoration, obtained from [[spoiler:the Deviantt's boss battle]], lets you graze incoming projectiles for a stacking increase in critical damage, which resets if you get hit. The Abominable Wand and Mutant Eye from [[spoiler:her older brothers' battles]] can empower this effect.
* ChargedAttack: The Styx Armor can gradually charge power as you deal damage. The power can be consumed to grant DamageReduction upon taking hits, or it can be manually consumed to fire devastating attacks proportional to how much you've charged, culminating in a massive Styx Gazer blade when fully charged.

** The ''Fargo's Soul Mod DLC'' that adds a few miscellaneous features, but most importantly implements cross-mod Souls and Enchantments for popular mods such as ''VideoGame/TerrariaCalamity'' and ''VideoGame/TheThoriumMod'', ensuring they aren't left out from the player's journey.

* HowIsThatEvenPossible: [[spoiler:Echdeath's second phase]] is supposed to be absolutely impossible to defeat, as a joke. If you somehow manage it, such as with OneHitKill gear from some other mod, its defeat message is simply "HOW".

* BulletHell: Particularly evident with the later bosses, but many of the original and retooled boss battles in the mod liberally use massive amounts of patterned projectiles, and some take heavy inspiration from bullet-hell games like VideoGame/TouhouProject, VideoGame/{{Undertale}}, and VideoGame/RabiRibi, to name a few. Learning to recognize and dodge each boss' shot patterns is a key skill for taking on some of the mod's hardest encounters.

** The more Forces and Souls you assemble, the more unique abilities you have that stack on top of each other - potentially causing the entire game to become UnintentionallyUnwinnable because of lag or outright crases. As a result, almost every single ability granted by an Enchantment or above can be individually turned on and off, and there's even a "minimal" toggle option that automatically turns off most non-essential ones. Minions have a transparency option for similar reasons.

* SuperFunHappyThingOfDoom : [[spoiler:The Deviantt]]'s weapon is the [[spoiler:Sparkling Love. It's [[AnAxeToGrind a huge axe]] covered in MeatMoss]].

* SuperFunHappyThingOfDoom : [[spoiler:The Deviantt]]'s WeaponOfChoice is the [[spoiler:Sparkling Love. It's [[AnAxeToGrind a huge axe]] covered in MeatMoss]].

* TimeStandsStill: Continuing the Stardust armor's reference to [[Franchise/JoJosBizarreAdventure Star Platinum]], the Stardust Enchantment gives the user the ability to completely freeze time for a short period. [[spoiler:Just don't try it in the Mutant's fight, or he'll [[AttackReflector outright turn it on you while shrugging it off]]]].

* AllYourPowersCombined: The crux of the Soul Mod. All armor sets from vanilla and compatible content mods can be crafted together with certain accessories into an Enchantment, an accessory that contains all of the unique effects of its components ''and then some''. These can then be turned into Forces, which combine several Enchantments, which in turn can be turned into Souls. There are also Essences, which are made from weapons and give general combat buffs to different classes, and can also be upgraded into Souls. [[UpToEleven Finally]], all of these Souls can be combined into the Soul of Eternity that blesses the player with the abilities of '''every single armor set and accessory''' in the entire crafting tree, which equates to almost the entire game and all compatible content mods installed.

* NintendoHard: Eternity Mode, which completely retools most vanilla mechanics, many enemies, and all bosses to be as torturous or unfair as possible while still being able to be beaten at the proper point in progression. [[TooDumbToLive Assuming you heed its warnings and don't switch on, say, Revengeance or Death at the same time]].
** Taken UpToEleven with [[MeaningfulName Masochist Mode]], which occurs when you simultaneously enable Eternity and Master. On top of combining the heavy stat modifiers from Master with the mechanical difficulty of Eternity, Masochist Mode changes several bosses (most notably the FinalBoss) and further enhances their attacks and stats, to the point of being ridiculously hard even compared to Eternity Mode.

** Dying ten times to [[spoiler:the Mutant]] in their second phase causes all future attempts to skip the first phase until they are defeated.

** Taken UpToEleven with [[MeaningfulName Masochist Mode]], which occurs when you simultaneously enable Eternity and Master. On top of the heavy stat modifiers from Master, Masochist Mode changes several bosses (most notably the FinalBoss) and enhances their attacks and stats to be borderline unfair.

** Eternity Mode was originally called "Masochist Mode" (called such because it had no reward then) and began as simply boosted spawn rates and random boss spawns. It was then slowly retooled into a difficulty mode above Expert.

* PurposefullyOverpowered: ''All'' of the accessories added by the Soul Mod, their strength justified by the sheer grind and challenge required to collect them all.

** Hoping to use Calamity's infamous obscene power scaling to crush [[spoiler:the Mutant]] beneath your bootheel? [[spoiler:Tough luck - he just gets ''extremely'' pissed and gives himself a massive buff to his HP, doubles his defense, quadruples his damage, and gains the ability to NoSell every offensive mechanic in the mod]]. However, this was since removed in preparation for Calamity's 1.5 update that severely flattens its power curve, as two mods' endgames would now be relatively similar in power level.

** The Mutant will sometimes joke that he's "all you need for a Calamity" if the aforementioned mod is installed. [[spoiler:Face him in combat under the same conditions, and [[TurnsRed he will make good on that statement]]]].

[[spoiler:Tough luck - he just gets ''extremely'' pissed and gives himself a massive buff to his HP, doubles his defense, quadruples his damage, and gains the ability to NoSell every offensive mechanic in the mod]].

* TimeStandsStill: Continuing the Stardust armor's reference to [[Franchise/JoJosBizarreAdventure Star Platinum]], the Stardust Enchantment gives the user the ability to completely freeze time for a short period. [[spoiler:This is strong enough that the Mutant can't fully restrain it in his fight, only make it so that players get frozen as well]].

* WhatTheHellPlayer: Played for laughs. The Mutant will ask "why would you do this?" if he's in a world with both Thorium and Calamity enabled.

** The more Forces and Souls you assemble, the more unique abilities you have that stack on top of each other - potentially causing the entire game to become UnwinnableByInsanity because of lag or outright crases. As a result, almost every single ability granted by an Enchantment or above can be individually turned on and off, and there's even a "minimal" toggle option that automatically turns off most non-essential ones. Minions have a transparency option for similar reasons.

* {{Irony}}: Eternity Mode has a huge warning to not cross it with other content mods or their difficulty modes, as [[NintendoHard they all pale in comparison to how the mode alters vanilla alone]] and can make certain bossfights UnwinnableByMistake since the changes to AI stack. Yet if you're playing with another content mod, the Soul of Eternity's crafting tree will require crossing the streams at some point to obtain both of their Souls.

** The Energizer weapons, if a mod with post-Moon Lord content isn't installed. While it is theoretically possible (and in some cases ''actually'' possible) to kill [[ZergRush ten waves of ten of the same boss each]] to obtain their respective Energizers far before Moon Lord, Luminite or [[spoiler:Abominable Scales]] are required to do anything useful with them.

* The ''Mutant Mod'', which adds only the siblings, their boss/event summoning wares, the [=LumberJack=], and other aspects of the mod that focus exclusively on quality-of-life. This includes some direct changes to vanilla, along with a few other tools that make certain structures almost mandatory for convenience in a typical run less painful to construct.
* The ''Soul Mod'', which adds the Enchantments and Souls, an assortment of PurposefullyOverpowered items that collapse the {{Set Bonus}}es of every armor set in the game and certain associated accessories into increasingly-dense compound accessories. It also adds new equipment to reward certain self-challenges and Eternity Mode, a NintendoHard difficulty that gives nearly every aspect of vanilla additional mechanics to make it tough as nails. This mod is optionally packaged with an add-on (titled the ''Soul Mod DLC'') that adds a few extras, but most importantly implements Souls and Enchantments for popular mods such as ''VideoGame/TerrariaCalamity'' and ''VideoGame/TheThoriumMod'', ensuring they aren't left out from the player's journey.

There are also Essences, which are made from weapons and give general combat buffs to different classes, and can also be upgraded into Souls. [[UpToEleven Finally]], all of these Souls can be combined into one singular accessory that blesses the player with the abilities of '''every single armor set and accessory''' in the entire crafting tree, which equates to almost the entire game and all compatible content mods installed.

* TheArtifact: The Deviantt implying the [=LumberJack=] is [[AlmightyJanitor somehow stronger than her or even her brothers]], in reference to the now-deleted StableTimeLoop lore she would originally divulge once the Souls Mod was completed in the world. In that iteration of the mod, he was a TimeMaster who used his powers to make his victory over the present-day PlayerCharacter a universal constant.

* BeyondTheImpossible: The Souls Mod is all about seeing just how far you can take your strength with all of your accumulated gear to the point of literally and metaphorically breaking the game.

** Truth be told, anyone willing and able to assemble the [[AllYourPowersCombined Soul of the Universe]] legitimately probably doesn't ''need'' it any time soon. Its components, however, still have some use if obtained early enough.

* {{Irony}}: Eternity Mode has a huge warning to not cross it with other content mods or their difficulty modes, as [[NintendoHard they all pale in comparison to how the mode alters vanilla alone]] and can make certain bossfights UnwinnableByMistake since the changes to AI stack. Yet if you're playing with another content mod, the Soul of the Universe's crafting tree will require crossing the streams at some point to obtain both of their Souls.

** Duke Fishron EX was originally the TrueFinalBoss of Eternity Mode, but was replaced with [[spoiler:the Abominationn]] altogether. His reimplementation in the Souls Mod add-on demotes him to this due to his redundancy in existing.

* {{Nerf}}: Aside from shuffling around the sequence at which certain items in the Souls Mod can be obtained and balancing them accordingly, [[ChekhovsGag the Rock]] was originally part of the Soul of the Universe's crafting tree with Calamity. As a hardcore character on Death Mode is required to craft it anyways by using one to obtain the Cosmic Plushie, the Rock was probably taken out either for redundancy or to not require going through an oppressively difficult encounter specifically designed to have no reward until a future date.

* PurposefullyOverpowered: ''All'' of the accessories added by the Souls Mod, their strength justified by the sheer grind and challenge required to collect them all.
* {{Sadist}}: All three of the siblings enjoy bloodshed to an unhealthy degree, which is the main reason they like you so much (that, and because some of the challenges in the Souls Mod border on MachoMasochism.)
