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 post-Plantera Paladin's Shield offers an extra 2 defense and a multiplayer buff, but does not prevent common debuffs. As such, the Paladin's Shield may be slightly more advantageous for most boss battles.
 * Using an Obsidian Skin Potion makes you immune to the On Fire! debuff, which the shield doesn't provide.

Trivia

 * Ankh was the ancient Egyptian hieroglyphic character that meant "life"; this hieroglyphic character is depicted in the shield.
 * Of all accessories, the Ankh Shield and the Celestial Stone offer the third most base defense, being bested only by the Paladin's Shield which has 6 base defense, and the Flesh Knuckles which has 7 base defense.
 * The only crafted item in the build path not crafted at the Tinkerer's Workshop is the Obsidian skull, which is crafted at a furnace instead.
 * Its components sell for more than the shield does.
 * Prior to 1.3.0.1, the Ankh Shield (requiring 11 base ingredients, and 7 crafting operations) had the most complex crafting tree. Although the Music Box (Title) required more base ingredients (12), it only needed 1 crafting operation. The Cell Phone took the lead (requiring 13 base ingredients, and 8 crafting operations) in 1.3.0.1.
