Also, if you’re a magic user, Stars in Bottles are great because they increase mana regeneration. These placeables act like walls and can be walked through, meaning they won’t inhibit your movement. Scattering Campfires and Heart Lanterns along your arena is highly recommended as these will increase health regeneration. Making regular, 1-tile holes in the arena is recommended to drain lava from Lava Slimes. It’s important to clear as much of the area as possible to ensure seamless movement across the arena. The best layout for your Wall of Flesh arena is a long, horizontal line of blocks that covers 750-1000 tiles. It’s worth noting that the lava of the Underworld means that blocks are often a better choice than platforms as this will remove the possibility of going through a platform and into lava. However, due to the Wall of Flesh’s limited movement capabilities, there is much less leniency on how you can build your boss arena. Typically, a boss arena consists of many platforms (of any type) laid out in a way that allows maximum player mobility.
While the style of boss arena varies depending on the boss, it’s crucial to understand what kind of boss platform is most suitable for the boss you are facing.Īdditionally, because you can only fight the Wall of Flesh in the Underworld, you must make your Wall of Flesh boss arena in that location.Ī properly-built boss arena will provide many benefits to aid your boss fight and are pretty much a necessity for fighting any boss of significance – notably the Wall of Flesh.
The key to success in defeating Skeletron, defeating the Moon Lord, and everything in between is a sufficient boss arena (sometimes known as a boss platform). The Guide will respawn at the next Terraria day, so don’t worry about killing it. This will kill the Guide and spawn the Wall of Flesh. Simply throw the Guide Voodoo Doll into the lava. Additionally, you must have a Guide Voodoo Doll and a pool of lava available – preferably in the Underworld. To spawn the Wall of Flesh, a Guide must be present in your world. It’s important to ensure that the Voodoo Doll won’t fall into lava, as this will consume the Voodoo Doll. Voodoo Demons are guaranteed to drop a Guide Voodoo Doll when killed. Getting a Voodoo Doll in Terraria can be tough, as the enemy that drops the Guide Voodoo Doll is pretty rare. You’ll need a Guide Voodoo Doll to spawn the Wall of Flesh. Therefore, making a Hellevator (a tunnel straight down to the Underworld) and having a Magic Mirror handy is highly recommended to travel between the two relatively quickly. The Underworld can be tough to get to in the early game – especially on large worlds. Summoning the Wall of Flesh can be very challenging, too, as it can only be summoned in the Underworld (otherwise known as Hell). While this is beneficial in some ways, it also restricts your movement, as the wall will continue moving in its set direction regardless of whether or not you are present. This boss is unique in that it doesn’t move around freely – it’s in a fixed vertical position and will only move towards you horizontally, in one direction. Therefore, it’s good practice to target The Hungry before anything else.
The Hungry progressively deal more damage and gain extra resistance to attacks as the Wall of Flesh’s main body takes damage. These are attached by long veins and will move towards you while dealing a lot of damage. The Wall of Flesh also has many small mouths called The Hungry. As well as that, there is a mouth between the two eyes that deals huge amounts of damage at melee range. These eyes are at the top and bottom of the Wall of Flesh.
It consists of two eyes that shoot lasers at you. It’s undoubtedly the most difficult pre-hardmode boss because of its substantial damage, quick movement, and difficulty accessing. The Wall of Flesh is the final pre-hardmode boss.
