Shield of Cthulhu

The Shield of Cthulhu is an Expert Mode accessory from Treasure Bag dropped by Eye of Cthulhu. In order to use this item, the player must double-tap either the right or left key. The character will then run super fast to the right/left (similar to the Tabi) and deal 30 damage to any enemies you come into contact with for a short time. You will also be momentarily invincible. Master Ninja Gear, Tabi and the Solar Flare Armor Set all override the Shield of Cthulhu's dash and will cause it to not work.

Tips

 * You can use the shield dash to boost yourself into your maximum run speed. Using it applies your boots' super fast running right after the dash.
 * Getting this shield early and using the dash defensively will greatly increase your survivability during boss battles
 * The damage of the shield will increase drastically when using the Psycho Knife.
 * The shield dash works even when cursed.
 * If the shield is hidden it will be visible while dashing.
 * You can use the shield dash to quickly get to max speed on the Unicorn Mount by dashing then quickly mounting with [R]
