    my favorite april fools jokes are the ones that trick people into thinking there is one, but there isn't one. the ol' 1-2 gaslight

    I feel like maybe the whole thing started out as an April Fools joke, but then after seeing people talking about it so much, they decided to program Duke Fishron in as a boss at the last minute to make the joke a reality. That would explain why the boss is in the game, and summoned through a method unrelated to anything described in the post, but none of the rest of that made it in.

    Something funny is that the Spirit mod has the ocean event 'The Tide' which, while different to pumpkin and frost moons, is still a huge fest of enemies. Patiently waiting for its port to 1.4.4 tmodloader :>

    I remember the first time I ran into Duke Fishron, back in like 2015. I kept losing to the mech bosses, so I was just looking for another boss to fight, and I saw duke fishron on the wiki. Took me like an hour to get the stupid truffle worm, it rose out of the water and one shot me. I was horrified

    My favorite troll was the time they removed the scraggler in 1.4.4 and acted like he never existed (seriously though bring back the scraggler)

    I got to give it to this game because it is the only app on my phone that doesn’t track or collect my data so thank you re-logic

    if they thought this was fake, imagine Red trying to introduce the Moon Lord…

    (I am not on any social media platforms so idk what red actually did to introduce the Moon Lord)

    This isn't even the only time that they trolled everyone. Red commented on a reddit post gaslighting people about the scraggler lmfao. I still can't find a straight answer on whether or not it was real, I'm just assuming no.

    I find that companies that like to joke around a bit can do pretty well with their audiences. But even companies that aren't known for being silly, have a perfect opportunity to try out some of the more-outlandish ideas that they marketing department (or anyone really) has tried pitching. Even the comments you overlaid on this video show a good trend to it… "Oh ha ha, April Fools… good idea though, you know I could see this actually working."

    I mean, even the Minecraft April Fools joke this year can bee seen as basically a big test for some sort of Twitch/stream-Integration patch they could actually add to the game. 🙂 You know.

    I think the funniest thing about this post, is that it seems the Tidal Moon event is what became the Lunar event
    Like it begins with a fight against a boss, which upon defeating summons an event tied to the moon, where you fight hordes of enemies to upgrade your gear, before it ends with a final fight against the antithesis of life in the Terraria world
    Yeaaa sounds very similar in concept to what we actually got in 1.3 lmfao

  36. crimsonDestroyer on

    Honestly, the idea of some kind of ocean/moon-themed event isn't actually that bad. The thematic link of the tides is definitely there, and the Moon Lord does rather resemble a squid, after all.

  38. EridianBlaze on

    I think that the Tidal Moon was going to initially be an event, but they might have scrapped it for whatever reason. Though I think that Fishron's phase 3 may be a leftover/callback to the scrapped idea, since it may have been what they were gonna use for the background during the Tidal Moon event

  39. platnium on

    i remember a friend telling me about it and telling me it was a leak and then i watched a yt video saying it was fake and got really sad, then completley forgot about that entire experience when it came out, after watching this video i was reminded lmao

  41. ᵐⁱˡᵏʸ on

    hey I have a Idea what if Relogic Add Some other Flamethrowers like Any upgraded version or Different one's just like calamity or Thorium But I don't think relogic will add this one bcs it might just break the game of it…

  43. Omppusolttu on

    Yeah honestly it does sound like the tidal moon would've been a thing, I'm not sure how but Duke Fishron just kinda feels like it doesn't really fit and is missing something.

  44. Random Guy on the Internet on

    I mean remove the fishing aspect and this is pretty much the actual endgame we got. Summoning a gauntlet of invasions leading to a final showdown, I wonder how long they were cooking up ideas of the moonlord for.
