Honeyed Goggles



The Honeyed Goggles is a mount-summoning item that summons a friendly Bee Mount that the player can ride. It has a 5% / chance to drop from Queen Bee.

While the Bee Mount is slow on the ground, it is capable of flying and will greatly increase in speed while doing so. While flying, the player's vertical speed is kept constant. It can fly in the air for 10 seconds before it enters a "tired" state, during which it slows and glides down. The glide can be accelerated using the key. Afterwards, it requires a 3-second rest period on the ground in order to begin flying at full speed again. If the player takes off again immediately after landing an exhausted bee, it will fly, but much slower than usual. Its rest period is indicated by a "heavy breathing" animation that stops when the Bee Mount is fully recovered.

Tips

 * If combined with several accessories that increase flight time (like Cloud in a Balloon), it is capable of reaching Floating Islands, even on large worlds.
 * The Honeyed Goggles is an incredibly useful mount to acquire early in the game as the flight can help traverse the terrain and help in avoiding damage from bosses and other enemies.
 * Paired with a Featherfall Potion, the Honeyed Goggles can be an equivalent to pre-Hardmode wings for traversing, especially useful for boss fights.

Trivia

 * The Shrimpy Truffle is a direct upgrade to the Honeyed Goggles.
