Boiling desert crustacean catches
Lobster Tail is prepared at a Cooking Pot or Cauldron using 1 Rock Lobster caught with a Bug Net in the Desert or Underground Desert. Consuming this seafood dish provides Plenty Satisfied for 10 minutes, giving +3 defense, +3% critical strike chance, +7.5% damage, +30% movement speed and +10% mining speed, and enhanced natural life recovery.
Single-critter cooking for sandy expeditions
Because Rock Lobsters walk across sand dunes and cave floors, capturing a few during early desert exploration requires no fishing rod. Cooked Lobster Tail provides 10 minutes of Tier 2 benefits, offering a valuable boost during challenging early encounters like exploring the Underground Desert or tackling Skeletron.
Trivia
- Despite being named Lobster Tail, the recipe cooks the entire Rock Lobster critter whole.
- Rock Lobsters also serve as 15% fishing bait if not cooked into food.
