Reach High Areas Without Climbing

Rocket Shields serve as a great alternative to climbing. It will help you reach high altitudes faster than normal climbing without using stamina and worrying about slipping on wet surfaces.

Always Bring 3 Rocket Shields

When exploring areas, especially regions surrounded by mountains and cliffs, it is recommended to carry at least 3 Rocket Shields with you. This is to help you navigate these areas faster and even escape enemies you do not want to engage with.

Depletes Durability

Rocket Shields will eventually break as it consumes durability. It is recommended to use shields that can easily break and save the better ones for combats. You can use Pot Lid, for example, as a base for rocket shields. It is one of the most accessible shields in the game and you can gather a lot of these from stables.
