What's your favorite Hardmode dungeon?
Which do you think was the most difficult? I personally feel SCHM has been the hardest to clear for me and some friends I ran with, just because it's many mechanics and things to dodge. MCHM was fun of course but I don't feel like it gave me as much anxiety as SCHM did. Lastly SSHM, BHS did a pretty good job with this one (finally) the mechanics are nice, bosses hit a bit hard but that's alright!
SCh - I think SCHM was difficult for A LOT of people to clear (considering the first group NA to clear it, took a few days to complete). I believe it was the first time we were introduced to the swipe mechanic, aka the one we have on Imperator boss in SS today. Also the ghost mechanic, which took my group a while to understand and be able to execute correctly. The second boss, Perimos was also difficult as well. With it's having to dodge lasers or take them so Peri wouldn't be able to destroy the crystals, causing a wipe. However Darkan stole the show with his ridiculous cage, hard hitting attacks, and fire on both sides of the ship. By far my favorite dungeon. Pre-nerf of course!
MCh - Obviously the OG of all hardmodes. Back in the day when people would actually complain about a dungeon being too difficult to clear. Nevertheless MCHM was a very fun dungeon, even from cocoon phase to the actual Shandra Manaya. The debuff mechanic is probably my favorite to do, as anyone can mess it up and ruin it for the whole party. Definitely a fan favorite dungeon.
SSh - Haven't done this dungeon yet, but from what I've seen on streams, and the rage I've heard from my own discord, the 3rd boss in here is nothing to toy with. His mega fast attacks and almost one-shot mechanics are enough to make me wanna quit on it's own. But the cage mechanic is definitely not something to mess around with. Also the mobs that must be killed before they turn into Demokrons, shooting [filtered] that hurt a lot. Not to mention the shield phase that if not broken will cause a party member to be impaled, slung into another member, and kill them both. I can definitely see this dungeon being another favorite.
So what about you all, what's your favorite hardmode? Tbh it doesn't even have to be one of these hardmodes, just talk about any challenging dungeon you've enjoyed/raged at the most!
EDIT: Changed title so choices don't have to be limited to just these 3 dungeons

wts quill run 100k hmu
Lol luckily I never had to heal for that phase. & yeah the Plexus was very beautiful, Darkan's ship was pretty cool looking but the Plexus definitely had much more detail too it, pretty colors as well.
SSHM's 3rd boss is heavy on rng side, so low-iframe classes need time to adjust it. 2nd boss is pushover, 1st boss is small dps race.
All bosses can be fully 100% tanked on warrior in slaughter gear (assuming proper rolls, not 8% hp nonsense). I can even survive large slams with -50% reduction skills. Imagine tanking real SCHM's perimos when he enraged
P.S. Dear BHS cut with RNG things for the love of Sky Whale
Did you actually play when MCHM was released here? At launch(pre nerfs) there was no MCnm to help learn and considering game was rather new, meaning less experienced players, and had less glyphs(that greatly help now)/crit rate/damage/op classes/no goddess/neo rez/no ccb etc. etc., it was never as easy to clear as any of the newer HM's.
Also, I believe if Tera released its content in every region at the same time it would take weeks for people to actually clear some HM's here, having that huge advantage with KTera ahead to prep/learn takes away alot of the challenge imo.
What rng about 3rd boss? Compared to SCHM i don't see it has more RNG than Darkan.
and did someone mention KDHM? lol hopefully that was a joke
