Tips

• Despite the description, players are also able to walk on lava without taking damage and without the need for the Obsidian Skin Potion. This makes it a viable alternative to Obsidian Skin Potions when traversing the Underworld, as the ingredients required are generally safer to obtain (though more time-consuming to gather in bulk). Players should still take care when dropping long distances onto lava, as they may find themselves partially submerged and take damage from the lava.
• This potion can be used to make the Ocean into a makeshift arena, for fights against the Dreadnautilus(Desktop, Console and Mobile versions) or Duke Fishron, for instance.
• While Lava Waders (and their upgrade, the Terraspark Boots(Desktop, Console and Mobile versions)) partially combine the functionalities of this potion and the Obsidian Skin Potion, they require an additional accessory slot.
• Falling onto water will still prevent fall damage.
