Tips

 * The Ankh Shield can be obtained before defeating any Hardmode bosses, and can be a very useful accessory when one does decide to fight them.
 * The Ankh Shield can remove all but two of the punishment debuffs applied to someone wearing a developer item such as Red's Wings.
 * Despite preventing Burning from block types, it can't stop the debuff from the developer items.
