Ankh Shield

The Ankh Shield is a Hardmode accessory that provides immunity to 10 different debuffs, knockback immunity, and provides an additional 4 defense. It is crafted from an Obsidian Shield and an Ankh Charm at the Tinkerer's Workshop.

The Ankh Shield currently entails the most complex crafting tree in Terraria. See Guide:Ankh Shield for a layout.

It provides immunity from all of the following debuffs:

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.
 * Despite preventing the Burning debuff from most sources, the Ankh Shield will not prevent Burning that results from equipping developer-reserved items (such as Red's Wings). In all, the Ankh Shield will prevent all but two of the developer-reserved punishment debuffs.

Trivia

 * Ankh was the ancient Egyptian hieroglyphic character that meant "life", this character is depicted in the shield.
 * Of all accessories, the Ankh Shield and the Celestial Stone offer the second most base defense, being bested only by the Paladin's Shield which has 6 base defense.
 * There are eleven debuffs that can occur that this cannot block; Blackout, Ichor, Cursed Inferno, Chilled, Frozen, Frostburn, Potion Sickness, Mana Sickness, Venom, Tipsy, and On Fire!.
