Sunken water chests and upward aquatic movement
Retrieved from submerged Water Chests along the ocean floor or dredged from ocean crates and seaside crates during coastal fishing trips. Equipping the Flipper enables multi-jump swimming through water, honey, and liquid basins by tapping the jump button. This aquatic mobility prevents accidental drowning in flooded caverns and lets divers ascend back to the surface after harvesting sunken treasure. Swimming upward counteracts heavy fluid resistance, ensuring players can escape deep underwater sinkholes before their air meter empties.
Diving gear assembly and amphibious frog mobility
At a Tinkerer's Workshop, combining the Flipper with a Diving Helmet yields Diving Gear, pairing swimming agility with expanded underwater lung capacity. Alternately, fusing it with a Frog Leg produces the Frog Flipper, which further upgrades into Frog Gear to give wall-climbing traction alongside aquatic maneuverability. This combination lets explorers scale damp caverns and swim through flooded jungle tunnels with elevated agility.
Trivia
- Swimming mechanics also function in honey and lava pools, though lava still requires obsidian protection to prevent burning.
- Combining flippers with frog leg accessories noticeably accelerates vertical ascent speed while submerged.
