Chilled

Chilled is a debuff usually inflicted by enemies found in the Snow biome. In Expert Mode(Desktop, Console and Mobile versions), it is also caused by touching water or Shimmer(Desktop, Console and Mobile versions) located in a Snow biome. The debuff can be prevented by equipping a full set of Snow armor, with the Hand Warmer, or, on the Desktop version, Console version, and Mobile version, the Ankh Shield. Additionally, Arctic Diving Gear will protect the player from the Expert Mode liquid effect, but not other sources of Chilled. Like the Slow debuff, it reduces the player's speed, but not as severely.

Most enemies that can inflict Chilled can also inflict the Frozen debuff.

Notes

While this debuff is active, moving causes sounds and dust effects similar to those of the Hermes Boots.
Chilled even affects movement on certain mounts. Saddles, Blessed Apple, Fuzzy Carrot, Goat Skull, Hardy Saddle, Hexxed Branch, Reindeer Bells, and Scaly Truffle are all slowed down under the effect of this debuff.
When entering water while this debuff is active, the timer on the debuff will be invisible.
- This does not apply when player has the debuff longer than 5 seconds inside the Tundra biome.
