Cross Necklace

The Cross Necklace is a Hardmode Accessory that doubles the duration of the invincibility a player is afforded after taking damage, from 2/3 of a second to 1 1/3 seconds. It has no effect in PvP. The Cross Necklace is dropped by Mimics.

The Cross Necklace is useful in Hardmode Boss fights, and any other scenario where the player is likely to be hit in rapid succession.

Tips

 * It is very easy to reforge the Cross Pendant to any desired modifier because it only costs around 5-20 silver.
 * The Cross Pendant is extremely useful for boss fights. The player can grapple themselves to a hellstone or meteorite block to take damage from the block rather than the boss. The Cross Pendant can further this strategy's effectiveness by increasing the invincibility period, allowing the player to take little damage while fighting tough bosses such as the Destroyer.

Trivia

 * This item may be a reference to the Cross Pendant in the first Castlevania game, having nearly the same image and making the player invincible for a short duration, except that item also cleared the screen of enemies, rather than increasing their "mercy invulnerability".
