On Old-gen console version Old-gen console, the Warmth Potion is additionally available.

Maximum damage reduction

The highest damage reduction possible is 50.5% ((Old-gen console version) or 67% against cold-themed enemies), using the following setup:

  • Beetle armor with shell – 45% reduction
  • Accessories and potions (additive)
    • Endurance Potion – 10% reduction
    • (Old-gen console version) Warmth Potion – 30% reduction against cold-themed enemies
    • This does not include the Paladin's Shield buff, since its damage reduction occurs before defense, and all others occur after defense.

Therefore, the maximum damage reduction is: (1 - 0.45) × (1 - 0.1) = 0.495 = 49.5% damage taken = 50.5%

(Old-gen console version) The maximum damage reduction against cold-themed enemies is: (1 - 0.45) × (1 - (0.1 + 0.3)) = 0.33 = 33% damage taken = 67%
