Tips

  • The Turtle Mount is useful for fast underwater travel, especially if combined with diving equipment like a Diving Helmet.
    • On Desktop version Desktop, Console version Console, and Mobile version Mobile, the Turtle Mount itself gives underwater breathing, so diving equipment is not needed.
    • The Lava Shark Mount(Desktop, Console and Mobile versions) may be a preferable alternative for this purpose, because it is much faster and its summoning item is slightly more common.
  • The player can fly using the Turtle Mount and the Bottomless Water Bucket(Desktop, Console and Mobile versions). By constantly placing water above the player and swimming upward while riding the Turtle Mount, the player can move through the sky, allowing for easy access to Floating Islands and Floating Lakes.

Trivia

  • The buff tooltip is a reference to a verse from the poem "Paul Revere's Ride" (1860) by American poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow: "One if by land, Two if by sea".
