Notes
- Some worlds may never spawn Giant Shellies, due to the unique spawn mechanic they share with Salamanders and Crawdads, making this item unobtainable there. However, one can still find the Craw Carapace and craft The Absorber in these worlds.
- Shell Speed Boost will not be granted on hit if the player has the Panic Necklace or any of its upgrades equipped.
