The Shellphone is a post-Skeletron informational item that combines the functions of the Cell Phone, Magic Conch, and Demon Conch. The player can press Open / Activate to cycle through four teleport locations: the world's spawn point, the Ocean, the Underworld, and the player's spawn point set via a Bed.

Trivia

  • While the Cell Phone is based on the more popular slate smartphones, the Shellphone is based on the clamshell form factor, which declined in popularity after the 2000s but has regained some popular status with the trend of foldable smartphones.
  • The tooltip for this item references both the belief that conch shells sound like the ocean (as referenced in the Magic Conch's tooltip) and car warranty scams, a type of scam which is widely propagated via cell phone spam calling.
  • The Shellphone has the second most complicated item crafting tree with 16 items, surpassed by the Zenith, which has 22.
  • Using the "dummy" Shellphone (the one without a target location; item ID 5437) will cause the character to hold the Shellphone up and make the warping sound effect, but not move the character anywhere.

History

  • Mobile 1.4.4.1: Fixed an issue where the Shellphone would not teleport the player and would not display the tooltip when crafted.
