Totem of Undying

"... The Woodland Mansion houses many treasures worth the risk - not least of which resides within the robes of the Evoker himself. Best him in combat and he will drop a Totem of Undying - a magic relic that, if equipped during some fatal calamity, will bring the player back from the brink of death!"

- Marsh Davies

A totem of undying is an uncommon combat item that can save holders from death. It is dropped from evokers, which spawn in woodland mansions and raids.

Evokers
Evokers always drop one totem of undying when killed. The drop rate is not affected by Looting.

Usage
If the player is holding a totem of undying in their off-hand or main-hand slot and receives otherwise fatal damage, the totem prevents the player from dying. The totem of undying must be in the player's off-hand or main-hand for it to work — it does not work if it is in the hotbar, unless selected. The totem can be used only once; it disappears after use. It does not save the player from death caused by void damage or the command.

Effect
When activated, the totem of undying restores, removes all existing status effects, then grants 45 seconds of II and 5 seconds of  II. In the Legacy Console Edition, it also grants you 40 seconds of II. An animation shows the totem of undying appearing to hover in front of the player's screen, similar to the animation seen when a player encounters an elder guardian. When killed by an Instant Damage tipped arrow, the arrow's instant damage takes effect after the totem has been activated.

The totem also works in hardcore mode, as well as hardcore multiplayer.

Trivia

 * If a mob holds a totem of undying, the mob also resurrects upon death and the sound effect plays. However, the animation does not appear.
