Mod bosses are the core of progression. While the bosses at each stage of the game can be defeated in any order, I'd suggest following an order similar to the one suggested in the boss checklist and the Calamity mod wiki.

Pre-Hard-Modus

  • slime king
  • scourge of the desert
  • Eye of Cthulu
  • Krabulon
  • Eater of Worlds/Brain of Cthulu
  • Queen Bee
  • The Phantom of the Hive / The Drills
  • skeleton
  • slime god
  • meat wall

hard mode

  • cryogenic
  • The Twins
  • Brimstone Elemental (drops little stat for non-melee builds until Providence is dead and can be ignored until then)
  • The destroyer
  • aquatic scourge
  • first skeleton
  • has sorte
  • plantar
  • mermaid and leviathan
  • lodo Astrageldon
  • Sternengott
  • through a gate
  • Plaguebringer Goliath (Gains low stats on melee, mage, and summoner builds and can be ignored)
  • Duque Fischron
  • Ravager (Gives cores which are useful but useless and can be ignored)

Postmond-Lord

  • desecrated guards
  • Providence the desecrated goddess
  • Devourer Wards (Order of Wards does not matter)
  • Polterghast (Can be done before Sentinels)
  • eater of God
  • hummel
  • Jungle Dragon, Yharon

Post Yharon

  • Ultimate Calamites (Superboss optional. Mod is considered complete after defeating Yharon)

team

armor

You will receive different armor during the game.

Pre-Hard-Modus

  • Wulfrum Armor (Available from the moment you spawn. Fragments used in crafting are dropped to the surface by Wulfrum Slime and Wulfrum Drones.)
  • Victida Armor (Can be obtained the moment you spawn, although it is incredibly dirty. Bars are made from shells, starfish, and coral along with victory shards. They all drop from Cnidrion and Desert Scourge.)
  • Aerospec Armor (Can be obtained after defeating Hive Mind or Perforators, which causes ore to appear in your world.)
  • Statigel Armor (Obtained after defeating the Slime God. Made from Purified Gel dropped by the Slime God. Serves as the final armor before Hardmode.)

hard mode

  • Daedalus Armor (Obtainable after spawning the Cryonic Ore by defeating Cryogen. Until Cryogen is defeated, you only have access to vanilla hardmode armor. It's important to note that defeating Cryogen also yields a Frost Core, which allows access to Frost Armor easily if you prefer).
  • Reaver Armor (Obtainable after defeating Plantera where the Eternal Ore appears.)
  • Astral Armor (Can be obtained after defeating Astrum Deus, in which Astral Ore becomes mineable. Armor tier easy to skip as it is only useful for Mages or Summoners and is similar to Reaver Armor in stats).
  • Ataxia Armor (Can be obtained by mining Chaotic Abyss Ore with a saw after defeating Golem. Serves as the final set armor for Hard Mode.)

Postmond-Lord

  • Xeroc Armor (obtainable after defeating the Moon Lord. Made from Meld Bars and Luminite Bars.
  • Tarragon Armor (Obtained after defeating Providence from the Uelibloom ore that appears as a result.)
  • Bloodflare Armor (Obtainable after defeating Polterghast with Bloodstone Cores and Ruinous Souls.)
  • God Slayer Armor (Obtainable after defeating the God Eater with Cosmilite Ingots.)
  • Silva Armor (Obtainable after defeating Yharon's first stage, which allows Darksun Shards to drop from Mothrons.)
  • Auric Tesla Armor (Obtained after defeating Yharon, where Auric prays, appears in the world. Serves as endgame armor.)

Post Yharon

  • Demon Shadow Armor (Obtainable after defeating Supreme Calamites. Serves as a bonus armor set.)

the abyss

The Abyss is a large biome that appears behind the dungeon in all worlds. It spans the entire height of a world (save for the tiny patch of hell at the very bottom) and is a source of powerful items at various points in the game. There are three main points where you must go through the abyss.

  • The first quest must be done after defeating Skeletron. At this point, you must hunt the Shadow Boxes that spawn on islands along the Abyss. The weapons that can be inside last for about Cryogen.
  • The second quest must be done after defeating Plantera. At this point, Deep Cells and Lumenyl will be knocked down by some enemies. These are used to craft some powerful weapons that will potentially last you through the rest of Hard Mode.
  • The final quest must be done after defeating Polterghast. This journey takes you to the bottom of the Abyss, where Eidolon Wyrms, Reaper Sharks and Colossal Squids spawn. They all throw some big weapons that are very strong against the God Eater and can reach Yharon.

You will also go to the Abyss after defeating the Golem to collect Chaotic Ore; However, this is a minor event and therefore not considered one of the major points where you cross the chasm.

In addition to the three mini-bosses on the Abyss floor, the Mauler in Sulphhurous Seas over the Abyss will start releasing a powerful ranged weapon once Polterghast is defeated.

I also recommend that you craft the Abyssal Diving Suit as it is incredibly useful later in the game for farming Abyss items.

weapons and accessories

There are so many weapons and accessories out there that I simply suggest you search the Calamity mod wiki for information on them. I'll still give a brief overview of the most important attachments, but below that will be a link to each wiki page for each weapon class and a list of the attachments. Sorting these pages by rarity will sort them when they become available.

main accessories

  • Angel Treads (an upgrade to Frostspark Boots, which can be crafted after defeating mechanical bosses).
  • Seraph Tracers (An upgrade to Angel Treads that works like a wing. Can be obtained after defeating the Moon Lord.)
  • Elysian Tracers (An upgrade to Seraph Tracers. Increases movement speed even more and also acts as a wing. Obtainable after defeating God Eater.)
