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.
- Turning on autopause and swapping to this accessory when below 50% life may be advisable.
Trivia[]
- Despite it being a Turtle Shell, it is dropped by the Ice Tortoise.
- The buff can be canceled, although it will immediately activate again.
