How To Craft Beetle Armor in Terraria

As for crafting, the Beetle Armor is based on the Turtle Set with the Thorns effect. But to craft Beetle Armor in Terraria, you must sacrifice the Turtle Set’s effect by covering it with a Beetle Husk on Mythril or Orichalcum Anvil.

As for the recipes for each part of the Beetle Armor, you will find them below:

Beetle Helmet: Beetle Husk x4 and Turtle Helmet.
Beetle Leggings: Beetle Husk x6 and Turtle Leggings.
Beetle Scale Mail: Beetle Husk x8 and Turtle Scale Mail.
Beetle Shell: Beetle Husk x8 and Turtle Scale Mail.

By the way, the only way to get the Beetle Husk is to fight the Golem. Each time you defeat this boss, you have a 100% chance to get 4-8 Beetle Husks. We also recommend using our guide on how to summon and beat Golem.

As for Turtle Armor Set yet, you can craft it using Chlorophyte Bars and Turtle Shells on Mythril or Orichalcum Anvil. You can get Turtle Shells by killing Giant Tortoises in Hard Mode. At the same time, you will have to farm Chlorophyte Ores in the Underground Jungle.
