Cobalt Shield

The Cobalt Shield is an accessory that prevents knockback (being pushed backward when you take damage). It also provides two defense which stacks with defense from Obsidian Skulls and Shackles. The proof against knockback is particularly valuable around large amounts of lava, such as in The Underworld.

The knockback immunity is also of particular use when combined with the effect of Hermes Boots, allowing the player to continue running at full speed despite being hit. This is especially economic when patrolling a skybridge for Fallen Stars.

Cobalt Shields can be found in chests inside dungeons.
