The **Lava Charm** is an accessory that grants immunity to lava for 7 seconds. On the PC version, Console version, Mobile version, and tModLoader version, it can be obtained from Hellstone Crates and Obsidian Crates with a ~~5\*~~1/20 (5%) chance, or in Chests in the lower portion of the Caverns where lava pools can naturally spawn. On the Old-gen console version, Windows Phone version, Old Chinese version, Nintendo 3DSversion, and tModLoader 1.3-Legacy version it can only be found in Chests, but can be found throughout all of the Caverns.

When the Lava Charm is equipped and the player comes into contact with lava, a 7-second countdown begins,  signified by a lava meter that displays over the player's head, which operates similarly to the breath meter, but displays flame icons instead of bubbles. Lava immunity time is recharged gradually by exiting lava, the same way breathing time is recharged by exiting water (albeit much more slowly).

## Notes

* Unlike accessories that provide immunity to debuffs, equipping the Lava Charm does not give immediate protection; equipping it *after* falling into lava will not help.
* Unlike most necklaces, it is not visible when equipped to players or Mannequins. This also applies to the Molten Charm.

## Tips

* To search for a Lava Charm, try to rapidly explore a wide area of the  Cavern lava layer /  Cavern layer. Bombs, Abandoned Mine Tracks, and Spelunker Potions can help search a wide area quickly.
* This accessory will make the mining of Hellstone easier.
* It will also help if the player gets pushed into the lava in The Underworld.
* The Lava Waders, Molten Charm, Hellfire Treads, Terraspark Boots, and Demonic Hellcart stack with the Lava Charm to increase lava immunity by 7 seconds each to a maximum total of  42 /  14 seconds. Of these, only the Demonic Hellcart is not itself a Lava Charm upgrade.
