Assembled at a Tinkerer's Workshop by uniting a Bezoar with an Adhesive Bandage, the Medicated Bandage safeguards against persistent health depletion. It grants immunity to the Poisoned debuff and the Bleeding debuff. Negating Bleeding ensures that natural health regeneration remains active after being struck by savage cavern creatures, while Poison immunity eliminates lingering toxin damage over time from stinger attacks and toxic slimes.
Jungle survival and Ankh Shield foundation
This item protects players exploring the Underground Jungle from Toxic Sludges and Moss Hornets, whose venomous stingers otherwise cancel natural life recovery. It acts as one of five combined accessories required to craft the Ankh Charm and ultimately the Ankh Shield. Reforging to Warding adds 4 defense for dangerous cavern excursions, while Lucky grants a 4% critical strike chance across all weapon types. It remains valuable during Blood Moon and solar eclipse events where bleeding monsters swarm.
Trivia
Throwing a Bezoar into Shimmer transmutes it into an Adhesive Bandage, simplifying early crafting.
The bandage prevents the Bleeding debuff, allowing life regeneration to function normally after taking damage.
