Here’s a guide on how to create the Shellphone in Terraria, a valuable item introduced in version 1.4.4. This handy device combines all informational accessories into one and allows you to teleport to various locations in your world, such as the spawn point, ocean, and underworld. If you found my Terraspark Boots guide helpful, you’ll likely enjoy this one too!
Please note that all images used in this guide are sourced from the Terraria wiki, and I’ve resized them for clarity.
Keep in mind that this guide is accurate as of version 1.4.4.9 on the Desktop platform. If you’re playing on a different platform or a later version, the crafting recipe for the Shellphone may vary or may not even exist. Given the vastness of Terraria, I won’t be able to cover every detail. For a more in-depth understanding of game mechanics or item functionality, such as moon phases or fishing power, I recommend visiting the Terraria Wiki for comprehensive information. Happy crafting!
Krok 1: GPS
To craft the GPS you need 3 rzeczy:
- A gold or platinum watch
- A Depth meter
- A Compass
Combine them at a tinkerer’s workshop to get the GPS! Let’s go over how to get each one.
Gold or Platinum Watch:
A timekeeping device, which I’ll refer to simply as a “Gold watch” dla wygody, accurately shows the in-game time down to the nearest minute. Crafting this watch requires 10 Gold or Platinum Bars and a chain, and you’ll need a table and chair for crafting. Obtaining the necessary materials is relatively straightforward. Gold and Platinum bars can be crafted from their respective ores, which are obtainable by mining underground or using an extractinator on silt, slush, or desert fossils. These bars must be crafted near a furnace, which can be made from wood, kamień, and torches. Chains, z drugiej strony, are created from iron bars, which are obtained in a similar fashion to gold and platinum ores but are more common. An anvil, also crafted from iron or lead bars, is used to make chains.
Here are some tips to help you in this endeavor:
- Ore Collection: To gather ores, explore caves or simply dig downward. The world is abundant with caves, so you’ll likely find one without much trouble.
- Extractinator Method: If you prefer using an extractinator, search for them in underground houses, gold/ice chests, or wooden crates. Następnie, collect silt, slush, or desert fossils to obtain the required ores.
- Fishing for Ores: For a unique approach, you can fish for ores, but ensure you have a good fishing power. Upgrading from a basic wooden fishing pole to something like a reinforced fishing pole is recommended. W późnej fazie gry, consider using a fiberglass fishing pole or the mechanic’s rod. To attract fish, craft enchanted nightcrawlers from worms caught with a bugnet and fallen stars. You can also find bait by breaking shrubs in the jungle. Fishing/Crate Potions and Chum Casters can enhance your chances.
- Crafting Furnaces: Furnaces are made from wood, kamień, and torches. Stone can be found by exploring the world, often in surface patches or caves.
- Obtaining Torches: Torches are crafted from gel and wood, which you can obtain by defeating slimes. These materials are not hard to come by.
- Acquiring Wood: If you need wood for crafting a furnace, tabela, or chair, plant acorns and wait for trees to grow. Harvest the trees for wood.
- Exploration for Resources: If you lack acorns or wood, explore the world to find untouched trees.
- Alternative Crafting Stations: W niektórych przypadkach, crafting stations like special crafting stations might be necessary to create certain items from alternative resources, such as glass, cactus, or glowing mushrooms.
- Last Resort: If you find yourself in an extremely desperate situation, creating a new world might be an option.
- Ultimate Desperation: Jeśli wszystko inne zawiedzie, Dobrze, there might not be much else you can do!
Depth Meter and Compass:
Both the Depth Meter and Compass serve to provide information about your horizontal and vertical position within the game world. These valuable items can be acquired by defeating certain underground enemies. Creatures such as bats, śluzy, Salamandery, piranhas, flinxes, and that peculiar shelly character with the strange noises have a chance to drop either the Depth Meter, the Compass, or even both. Jednakże, these drops occur at relatively low rates, so be prepared to engage in numerous battles to secure these items.
Here are some useful tips to assist you in obtaining these items:
- Accidental Discovery: While exploring underground caverns in search of ores, life crystals, and other treasures, you might stumble upon the Depth Meter and Compass by chance. Be sure not to discard or accidentally dispose of them. You can safeguard these items by favoriting them, which can be done by pressing Alt+Left click.
- Undertake Underground Projects: If you find yourself without one or both of these items, consider embarking on significant underground projects like constructing a hellavator, a railway system, or a mob farm. During the course of these activities, you’re likely to encounter mobs that drop the Depth Meter and Compass.
- Farming for Drops: When all else fails, resort to farming. You can either station yourself in a mob farm if you have one, or if not, summon a minion, equip your weapon, and engage in combat with mobs.
- Enhance Spawn Rates: If you opt for farming, consider placing Water Candles to increase spawn rates. These candles can be obtained from the Dungeon or crafted by combining a Candle with a Crystal Ball while submerged in water. It’s worth noting that Crystal Balls are exclusive to Hardmode and can be purchased from the Wizard for 10 Gold coins.
Tinkerer’s Workshop:
To assemble the Shellphone into a functional device, you’ll require a Tinkerer’s Workshop. This workshop allows you to combine all the necessary components into the Shellphone itself. You can obtain the Tinkerer’s Workshop from the Goblin Tinkerer for a price of 10 gold coins. To find the Goblin Tinkerer, venture underground into the Cavern Layer, but he will only appear after you’ve successfully repelled the Goblin Army invasion.
Here are some tips to assist you in obtaining the Tinkerer’s Workshop and using it effectively:
- Summoning the Goblin Army: To trigger the Goblin Army invasion, ensure that your character has reached 200 Zdrowie (equivalent to consuming 5 Life Crystals). Breaking a Shadow Orb in the Corruption or a Crimson Heart in the Crimson biome will also initiate the invasion. You can craft a Goblin Battle Standard using 10 Tattered Cloth and wood at a Loom if you prefer this method.
- Breaking Shadow Orbs/Crimson Hearts: If you’re having difficulty breaking a Shadow Orb or Crimson Heart, you can use a bomb to access them. Break the orb/heart quickly and recall out to avoid too many hostile creatures spawning. Consider using rope or a grappling hook to prevent fall damage when descending into the chasms. If you’re taking too much damage, construct a small protective enclosure. Remember that you can place blocks in mid-air within the chasms since they have walls.
- Defeating the Goblin Army: If you struggle with the Goblin Army, it’s advisable to equip Demonite or Crimtane equipment and weapons that you obtained from breaking Shadow Orbs or Crimson Hearts. Alternatywnie, consult the Terraria wiki for additional strategies and information.
- Locating the Goblin Tinkerer: Finding the Goblin Tinkerer is relatively straightforward. Simply dig underground, and he should eventually appear. W razie potrzeby, you can use a Hunter potion, crafted from bottled water, daybloom, blinkroot, and a shark fin, or find it in chests and crates, to help you pinpoint his location.
- Obtaining Gold Coins: If you need gold coins to purchase the Tinkerer’s Workshop or for other purposes, consider embarking on underground loot runs. Collect bars, klejnoty, and valuable loot during your expeditions and sell them. Another option is to farm King Slime or the Eye of Cthulhu, which are relatively easy to summon and defeat.
- Making the Tinkerer Happier: If you want to reduce the cost of the Tinkerer’s Workshop, try to improve the Tinkerer’s happiness. He appreciates the underground biome and enjoys the company of the Dye Trader. If you’ve progressed beyond Skeletron, consider placing him near the Mechanic, as there’s a hint of a romantic connection between them. If you’ve reached the post-Plantera stage, you can have the Princess move in, although this becomes less significant when the Mechanic is already present in your world to keep the Tinkerer content.
Incorporate these tips into your gameplay, and you’ll be well on your way to acquiring the Tinkerer’s Workshop and crafting your Shellphone. Pamiętać, it’s an essential tool to progress further in the game, especially if you have aspirations of building a GPS.

- A Cell phone
- A Magic Conch
- A Demon Conch
Let’s see how to craft them!
Cell Phone:
You already got the Cell Phone from the last step, so we can move on.
Magic Conch:
Magic conches, coveted items in the world of Terraria, can be obtained in a couple of ways. One can stumble upon these mystical shells in the Underground Desert or obtain them from Oasis/Mirage Crates when engaged in fishing activities within the Desert biome. The allure of these conches lies in their ability to facilitate long-distance teleportation to the farthest reaches of the Ocean biome from your current location.
Jednakże, venturing into the treacherous Underground Desert requires substantial preparation, especially on higher difficulty levels. It is advisable to bolster your character’s vitality, amassing at least 300 health and acquiring post-Eater of Worlds/Brain of Cthulhu loot. Should you be daring enough to tackle Expert, Gospodarz, or even Legendary mode, then elevating your health pool to 400 HP becomes imperative. Ponadto, donning high-defense armor becomes paramount for survivability.
Navigating the Underground Desert can be a fairly straightforward endeavor. Simply locate a cave entrance, and if one eludes your sight, resort to digging downward or sideways to uncover potential entrances.

When it comes to bait, crafting enchanted nightcrawlers from worms, captured with a bugnet, and fallen stars is a reliable option. Alternatywnie, break shrubs in the jungle biome to collect critters, which serve as excellent bait. Engaging in fishing for crates or completing angler quests can yield additional bait, and the latter may even reward you with accessories that enhance fishing power, reduce bait consumption, or offer other fishing-related benefits. Don’t forget to consider the use of Fishing/Crate Potions and Chum Casters to optimize your fishing endeavors.
Should you encounter difficulties locating a suitable fishing spot, consider creating a 300-block expanse of water. This can be accomplished by excavating a hole and employing a Bottomless Water Bucket or taking advantage of the water duplication glitch.
Podsumowując, acquiring magic conches in Terraria involves navigating the perils of the Underground Desert or engaging in fruitful fishing within the Desert biome. Preparedness is key, and players should equip themselves with adequate health and gear for their chosen difficulty level while exploring the Underground Desert or embarking on fishing expeditions. Dodatkowo, various bait and equipment options are available to enhance your fishing prowess. If a suitable fishing location proves elusive, creating a large water body can be a practical solution.
Demon Conch:
The elusive Demon Conch, a crucial item for teleportation to the perilous Underworld in Terraria, presents a challenging acquisition quest, ranking closely in difficulty with the infamous Angler Fishing Quest rewards.
Here are some valuable tips to aid you in obtaining the Demon Conch:
- Hellbait: To initiate lava fishing, you must secure at least one of three essential bait types:
- Lavafly (25% fishing power)
- Magma Snail (35% fishing power)
- Hell Butterfly (15% fishing power)
The Magma Snail stands out as the preferred choice due to its highest fishing power among these options. You can capture these bait creatures using either a Golden Bug Net or a Lavaproof Bug Net. Opting for the Lavaproof Bug Net is advisable, as it’s easier to obtain and doesn’t necessitate fishing quests. Jednakże, if you happen to possess a Golden Bug Net, it can certainly be used.
- Hotline Fishing Hook: Another viable route to enable lava fishing is the Hotline Fishing Hook, attainable through Angler Fishing Quests during Hardmode.
- Lavaproof Fishing Hook: This specialized fishing hook, or its upgraded version, the Lavaproof Tackle Bag, unlocks the ability to fish in lava. Jednakże, you can only acquire these accessories through lava fishing, which means you must first obtain one of the aforementioned options to enable this kind of fishing.
For a higher chance of success, it’s recommended to secure two out of the three methods mentioned above. This significantly enhances your odds of obtaining the Demon Conch. Ponadto, consider embarking on this quest during Pre-Hardmode, as the Corruption/Crimson and Hallow spread phenomena will be activated in Hardmode, potentially complicating your endeavors.
Ensure that your fishing power remains consistent throughout your lava fishing sessions. Początkowo, the reinforced fishing pole or the Fisher of Souls/Fleshcatcher should suffice. Jednakże, as you progress into the late-game stages, upgrading to advanced fishing tools like the fiberglass fishing pole or the mechanic’s rod is advisable. Don’t forget the utility of Fishing/Crate Potions to further enhance your fishing effectiveness.
With dedication and perseverance, you will eventually accumulate all the necessary components to craft the coveted Shellphone. Once you’ve gathered these items, head to your Tinkerer’s Workshop and assemble the fruit of your labor, a testament to your countless Angler quests and underground mining endeavors.
