Breathing underwater without breath depletion
Mixed from Bottled Water, a Waterleaf, and a piece of Coral harvested from Ocean shores, the Gills Potion provides the Gills buff for 4 minutes. While active, the player can remain submerged in water or honey without depleting their breath meter or suffering drowning damage.
Deep ocean exploration and flooded cavern mining
Drinking a Gills Potion permits thorough searches of deep Ocean trenches for Water Walking Boots and Trident weapons without requiring breathing reed pipes. Unlike early Terraria mechanics where the potion inverted breathing and harmed players on land, modern versions simply prevent drowning while leaving normal surface respiration intact.
Trivia
- In legacy versions of the game, Gills caused players to suffocate on dry land, a hazard that was removed in modern Terraria releases.
