Unveiling the Wall of Flesh
That's not all Hardmode unleashes: it's not something that unlocks because you've "progressed" your way into it. No, there's a specific ritualistic battle you've got to be able to win. Everything hinges on defeating the Wall of Flesh—that's a huge monster living in the Underworld. But, surely, you would have to prepare for something like this.
Delving into the Underworld
The Wall of Flesh waits much deeper in the Underworld among a biome filled with fire and treacherous enemies. For an idea of just how far you might need to go between these two worlds and cover that distance, you're going to need a Hellevator—that is an uninterrupted shaft that descends straight down.
The Hellevator can be constructed in more than a single way. The most common method used is bombarding your vertical path with bombs or dynamites. On the other hand, this Hellevator is an option for a pickaxe with high mining power. Whichever method you choose, ensure your Hellevator is wide enough to accommodate you and allows for easy movement.
Facing the Depths
The Underworld does not forgive the unprepared. Make sure you have all preparations in order, with items needed to survive in the hostile Hellevator environment. A few items you might want to take along could be:
Summoning the Wall of Flesh: The Guide's Demise
Once you reach the Underworld with the necessary equipment ready for the trial, be ready to face the Wall of Flesh. But this one is no ordinary boss; it never comes up through the usual method of summoning. Here's how you uniquely summon it:

Facing the Depths
The Underworld does not forgive the unprepared. Make sure you have all preparations in order, with items needed to survive in the hostile Hellevator environment. A few items you might want to take along could be:- Obsidian Armor: Fashioned of the very stuff it is meant to protect one against—, gleaned from the gloomy depths of the nethermost. Underworldly—this set provides great protection from the fiery.
- Water-bottle Boots: Lavas are very common down in the underworld. Wearing this pair of boots lets you walk over the top of the surface just fine. Alternatively, it could be some kind of Depth Strider potion or a mount with similar water bottle capabilities.
- Mining Equipment: Finally, as you progress in the Underworld, you are likely to find some Hellstone Ores and Demonite Ores. Make sure you bring along a pickaxe that will be able to mine it because they are quite valuable.
- Weapons: The Underworld is teeming with belligerent enemies. Make sure to have some serious firepower at your disposal when taking them out, if you plan on doing so quickly. Helpfully ranged to keep the fiery baddies at a distance.
Summoning the Wall of Flesh: The Guide's Demise
Once you reach the Underworld with the necessary equipment ready for the trial, be ready to face the Wall of Flesh. But this one is no ordinary boss; it never comes up through the usual method of summoning. Here's how you uniquely summon it:
- Unearth a Voodoo Demon: These enemies roam the Underworld. Defeating one will grant you a Voodoo Demon Doll.
- A Sacrifice for Power: Take the Voodoo Doll back to your home base (don't worry, the Guide will respawn later). Use the doll near a pool of lava. In other words, using the voodoo doll near a pool of lava would mean sacrificing the guide (hence the slight moral ambiguity) and summoning the Wall of Flesh.
Conquering the Wall of Flesh
The Wall of Flesh was a challenging foe, but it can be defeated with the right approach. The following tips might just help in defeating the notorious creature:
- Arena construction: It could mean building the arena down in the underworld before even thinking of summoning the Wall of Flesh. They probably mean building platforms for better mobility and using platforms that can be built out of fire-resistant materials like Obsidian.
- Sharpen Your Tools: Make sure your arms are powerful and are likely to deal very serious damage to the Wall of Flesh. Effective will be ranged piercing weapons.
- Minions and potions: Summon minions and use helpful potions like Ironskin to easily win battles.
- Use the environment—the Underworld is full of dangers; make the most of them. Draw the Wall of Flesh over pits with lava in them, so it might take continuous damage through passive movements.
Can I explore the Underworld before defeating the Wall of Flesh?
Well, that leaves you with the Underworld to explore before summoning the Wall of Flesh. Just be careful, since it is far more dangerous, and the enemies are way stronger than those on the surface.
What happens after defeating the Wall of Flesh?
The world will transition into Hardmode. Then after, new ore will begin to be mined, new enemies will begin to spawn in, and new crafts will be available for the player to make.than their pre-Hardmode counterparts. You'll need to craft new armor and weapons from the Hardmode ores to survive.
Should I fight the Wall of Flesh immediately after defeating Skeletron?
It depends on your skill and items' level. So, well, if you are well-armed and good in a fight, you can bring down the Wall of Flesh right after you kill Skeletron. But if in doubt, it should always be held and kept searching—more accumulating resources and honing gear to win against the formidable boss.
Conclusion
Hardmode in Terraria is quite a leap in challenge—it stretches your combat skills and resourcefulness to the hilt.
