Echo Ocarina - Minecraft Dungeons II Artifact

The Echo Ocarina is a Tank artifact in Minecraft Dungeons II whose music — played on a hollowed husk — shields you against ranged attacks. When skeleton archers, pillagers and other shooters are the problem, this is your answer.

Effect and cost

The ocarina costs 40 souls with a 10-second cooldown, placing it in the pricier tier of defensive artifacts. In return, you get protection specifically against ranged damage, which is invaluable in areas packed with archers or against bosses that pepper you with projectiles. It does nothing against melee attackers, so it is a specialist tool rather than a general shield.

When to use it

Bring the Echo Ocarina into zones or fights dominated by ranged enemies. Tank builds that wade into the middle of packs often take the most fire from distant archers, and this artifact shuts that angle down. It works as a cheaper, targeted alternative to all-purpose defenses like the Warding Chimes or the Turtle Master's Mandolin — use it when the threat is arrows, not blades.

How to get it

The Echo Ocarina drops in Frozen Highlands and Humbler Huskland, or as a quest reward. For broader protection, compare it with the Totem of Shielding and the Warding Chimes.
