Frozen Turtle Shell

The Frozen Turtle Shell is a Hardmode accessory that has a 0.5% (1/200) chance to drop from the Ice Tortoise in the Underground Snow biome. It grants the Ice Barrier buff, with the effects varying between versions.


 * Gives 25% damage reduction as long as their health remains at or below 50%.
 * Gives the player 30 defense when below 25% health.

While not normally visible, it displays as a small blue circle spinning around the character that emits light when active.

Tips

 * This accessory works well with the Shrimpy Truffle, which gives the player a damage and speed boost when at or below 50% life.
 * The Frozen Turtle Shell is useful for fighting bosses and events, which usually expose the player to constant damage, thus activating the accessory more often than during regular gameplay.
 * For a good Frozen Turtle shell farm go to the underground winter biome. First box yourself in then make a 1 block gap on the bottom of the box to fire through with a ranged weapon. If your dungeon goes into the underground winter biome with a horizontal passage take away a segment of dungeon wall and do the procedure written above.

Trivia

 * Despite it being a Turtle Shell, it is dropped by the Ice Tortoise.
