Alignment

Alignment is a mechanic in Mod of Redemption that causes changes in the world depending on its current level. Certain content is only accessible if the player has positive or negative alignment, indicated by a positive or negative value respectively.

Currently, alignment dictates whether Gathic Cryo-Crystals or Dragon-Lead Ore generate in the world after defeating Skeletron. Additionally, Nebuleus, Angel of the Cosmos possesses a second phase for players with negative Alignment, and the Forest Nymph NPC can only be accessed by players with positive Alignment. In the future, more Alignment based interactions and content will be introduced.

Chalice of Alignment

Main article: Chalice of Alignment

Chalice UI

The Chalice of Alignment is an essential item for interacting with the Alignment mechanic. Upon crafting it for the first time, a cutscene will play out, asking the player whether or not they want to listen to an explanation of Alignment. Afterwards, the Chalice of Alignment will become an icon next to the player's inventory that displays the current Alignment. Additionally, the Chalice will comment on certain events and items.

Good Route

If the player has 1 or more Alignment, they can befriend a Forest Nymph by having an active King's Oak Staff's summon and approaching her. If a Treebark Dryad has been slain before, the Alignment requirement will be increased to 3.

If the player has 0 or more Alignment, defeating Skeletron for the first time will allow for Gathic Cryo-Crystals to generate in the Ice biome.
