How to Beat the Wall of Flesh in Terraria

Last Updated: March 7, 2023

The Wall of Flesh is the last boss you will meet before hardmode begins. In this article we will learn how to beat the Wall of Flesh in Terraria, and tips for how to make it easier to accomplish.

Steps

1
Get decent armor. Make sure you have Crimson/Shadow Armor or Molten Armor to give you the best current defense, or jungle/Necro/Bee Armor if you are into mage/ranger/summoner build, Meteor Armor makes you able to use Space Gun without any mana costs.
2
Get decent weapons. Get the Night's Edge or Flamarang to fend off the Hungrys. Get the Minishark or The Bee's Knees for a range fight so you can dodge more easily. For magic users, you can get Demon Scythe, Water Bolt or space gun. Beenades is a no-brainer weapon against the World of Flesh which kills it in a matter of seconds.

3
Get beneficial potions. Get at least 5 Health Potion(Or Honeyfin if you do fish in the honey), Obsidian Skin Potion so that you're immune to lava, whole stack of mana potions for mage and any other potions possible that boost your stats(Ironskin Potion, Swiftness Potion, food, ale etc).
4
Build a Hellevator(hell Elevator) if you haven't yet. Dig down and put some ropes up and down the hole so you can go down and up easily.
5
Make a bridge all the way across the underworld. Building a bridge is recommended since you'll have a better chance of not taking damage in lava
6
Find a Voodoo demon. The Voodoo Demon drops the Guide Voodoo Doll which summons the Wall of Flesh.
7
Get the guide voodoo doll and throw it in the lava, or tap it if you're on Mobile to summon the Wall of Flesh. Before you do this, drink some potions that gives you buffs like the Ironskin Potion for some extra defense and Obsidian Skin potion if there are some lava pools around.
8
Drink potions at the start of the fight, so you can be stronger and defeat the Wall of Flesh.
9
Make sure to hit the eyes and mouth, if you hit any other part, it will take no damage. Don't get to close you could take damage.
10
Get the loot at where the Wall of Flesh is defeated, they are stored in a square. Note that your world is now in hard-mode, which contains harder enemies and fancier items.
11
Head back to your home via Magic Mirror or Hellevator.

What does the wall of flesh drop?

Community Answer

It will 100% drop a Pwnhammer which will be used to break Demon/Crimson Altar to generate Hardmode ores, and one of the following 7: Breaker Blade which is slow but deals high melee damage, Clockwork Assault Rifle which is a ranged weapon that shoots 3 bullet at once, Laser Rifle which is a magic weapon that functions identical as Space gun but deals more damage, Ranger Emblem, Sorcerer Emblem, Warrior Emblem or Summoner Emblem which boosts a certain damage stat.
Question

I killed the Wall of Flesh, but I got no drops, why is that?

Community Answer

You need to go to the exact location where the Wall of Flesh was defeated to get the loot. If you have logged out without taking the loot, the loot will disappear and you will have to defeat the Wall again.
Question

How do I get rocket boots?

Community Answer

Purchase them from the Goblin Tinkerer, who is found in a large underground cavern. Talk to him to untie him, then he will move into an available house.

Warnings

Also, get strong armor (Crimson/Shadow or Molten Armor) since he's the boss that unlocks hard-mode.

When the Wall of Flesh is defeated, make sure you are prepared for Hardmode, if not, you will have a hard time ahead.

The Wall of Flesh shoots laser out of its eye that passes through walls and has the Hungry to guard the wall of flesh so strike the hungry first so you could fight the Wall of Flesh. Note that the Hungry's detach after you have damaged one third of their health.

The Wall of Flesh moves from right to left on the right side of the world and vice versa, so remember this to actually have the maxed out time possible.
