"To contain the essence of a slain God is no small thing. It is rather a towering, ghastly construct."
The Wall of Flesh is the final and strongest pre-Hardmode boss, spawnable only in The Underworld. Once it is defeated, the world permanently converts to Hardmode, which brings new content and challenges.
Spawn
The Wall of Flesh is summoned immediately when a Guide Voodoo Doll is destroyed by being dropped into lava in the Underworld while the Guide is alive, killing the Guide.
The direction the Wall will face, and therefore move, depends on which side of the world the player spawns it. If the Wall is spawned on the right side of the world, it will move right to left. If it is spawned on the left side of the world, it will move left to right.

Behavior
In Revengeance Mode
The Wall of Flesh constantly moves either right to left or left to right, forcing the player to run from it, as it cannot be moved through. If the player does manage to get behind the Wall, they will be brought back in front of it by the The Tongue.
The eyes and mouth of the wall will move vertically to fit between solid blocks, and this movement is speed up in Rev+.
If the player gets far enough away or leaves the Underworld in any way, they will be killed instantly due to the Horrified debuff.
During the fight, the Wall will constantly spawn Leeches and Hungries to attack the player. Its only direct attack is to shoot lasers which are capped at bursts of three. When reaching 50% health, the Wall will begin using more Death Lasers, which deal more damage and inflict the "On Fire!" debuff.
Upon reaching 66% health, the Wall of Flesh will shoot out two homing sickles from its mouth; upon reaching 33%, it will shoot out three homing sickles.
As the Wall of Flesh takes more damage, it will increase in speed up to a maximum of 41mph. These health milestones are:
- 75%
- 66%
- 50%
- 33%
- 25%
- 10%
- 5%
- 3.5%
- 2.5%
If the player moves too far from the Wall of Flesh, it will enrage and speed up substantially to catch up with them. Once it does catch up, it slows down and releases a barrage of slower moving lasers.
The Hungry are spawned at the start of the fight and slowly respawn throughout. They will begin attached to the Wall of Flesh and will try to attack the player by moving towards them. However, at the start of the fight, they will have limited range due to still being attached. They will detach from the Wall of Flesh after taking substantial damage, becoming The Hungry II. They deal more damage the lower the Wall's health is.
Leeches will spawn from the Wall of Flesh's mouth with a specific audio cue. They act like most worm enemies when attempting to attack the player. The Wall of Flesh will spawn these at an increasing rate as its health gets lower, eventually releasing them at as a constant stream.

Tips
- For more elaborate strategies on defeating the Wall of Flesh, including weapon and arena recommendations, see Guide:Wall of Flesh strategies.
- Try to keep the boss at a far enough distance to allow time to react to its laser attack, while not being far enough to trigger its enrage.
- However, if both the boss and the player are close to death, moving far enough away from the boss and causing it to dash will prevent it from firing its death lasers until it catches up, allowing the player to avoid getting fatally hit in the last few moments of the fight.
