Item researched October 14, 2026.
Item and requirements
Craft the Infernal Helmet with 6 Scorpion Shells and 1 Cultist King Antler at the repaired Tool Workshop anvil. You must find the volcanic biome and overcome its combat; this is not a camp crafting-bench upgrade.
How to obtain it
- Collect six shells from volcanic-biome scorpions.
- Defeat the Cultist King and collect its antler.
- Rebuild the anvil with Tool Workshop pieces if it remains broken.
- Check the displayed recipe, craft the helmet and equip it.
When to craft it
It offers burning protection. Editorial recommendation: prioritize it for repeated visits to that biome when you can already handle the boss. Do not treat it as permission to walk on lava: sources disagree about the protection's scope.
Success check
Confirm it is equipped in the head slot. Carrying the materials does not activate the helmet's effect. No removal date is announced for this recipe.
