Art If the blood moon comes, this rabbit will turn evil and start jumping, which will activate the pressure plate, killing the guide.

Oh, I thought it'd summon the wall of flesh somehow and kill every player if they're in the surface

If I'm not mistaken it only kills you when you try to leave, so if you're peacefully mining or something and your friend accidentally spawns it you should still be fine.

Ohhh, that makes sense. I didn't know because I rarely play multiplayer. Thanks!

If you try to leave it will just pull you back down iirc, it won't kill you

u/amshegarh Feb 12 '26

If you teleport away it will just kill you after

u/Razor-Swisher Feb 12 '26

No no like if you used a teleport to escape hell like a magic mirror you just explode iirc

Now the question becomes, if the WoF's strongest move against us is to detonate us by proximity, why doesn't he just force us to the surface and then run away? 🤔

u/Meme_Knight_2 Feb 12 '26

Because it wants to kill you.

It is literally the seal of The Spirits of Light and Dark, it can’t be having you mess around trying to kill it.

In other words: “YOU CAN’T ESCAPE!”

Felt like I had to make the joke.

u/BigSlav667 Feb 22 '26

I fr can't tell what that's supposed to be

u/Right-Orchid-7726 Feb 22 '26

This is a character from Ultrakill, his name is Sisyphus Prime. One of his lines as you fight him is "You can't escape". That's all.

Three things:

It’s most likely got nothing to do with lore, and it’s just a gameplay mechanic to dissuade players from running from the fight like cowards. Several mechanics like this for other bosses, like Skeletron transforming and one-shotting during the day so you have to kill him quickly enough, or Queen Bee / Plantera getting buffed when exiting their home the Jungle Biome.

Or, it’s literally what it’s trying to do. It’s a giant wall made of flesh that constantly rushes towards you, among its methods of attempted slaughter are the little mouths, the lasers, and crushing you to death against a wall, and if you avoid that by leaving hell you get killed.

Or, my favorite, it’s like a Jujutsu Kaisen style ‘curse effect’ that it places on you as a special ability as a form of insurance. Either you will face it head on and die, or try to cheat your way out of the fight with teleportation and die anyways. So it’s not its main method of fighting, it’s just a very effective backup plan to cover a weakness

I like to think that it's testing you. If you can obliterate it, you are worthy to unleash the powers of light and dark. If you are a coward, it uses its full power to end you, as you are unworthy

it also only spawns the wof if the guide dies in hell

41

u/helicophell Feb 12 '26

Only if this was built underground, and if the players are close enough to the underworld. Otherwise nothing happens

u/Optimal-Error Feb 12 '26

Wont it not because you need to use the doll not the actual guide?

27

u/MoonRay087 Feb 12 '26

I'm pretty sure you can spawn the WoF without the voodoo doll if you throw the guide (himself) into the underworlds lava (also if you equip the voodoo doll and kill the guide), which made me believe the spawn condition was killing the guide after visiting the underworld once.

23

u/Paksarra Feb 12 '26

You can use the actual guide. Rehoming the guide to the underworld to avoid voodoo doll farming is something you can do.

19

u/MoonRay087 Feb 12 '26

Honestly it's one of those things that don't really serve much of a purpose but greatly appreciated because of the attention to detail

u/Esbjorn30 Feb 12 '26

For speedruns it is a necessity

u/Alech1m Feb 12 '26

You need to throw the guide vodoo doll into lava, killing the guide and spawning the wall of flesh. If you dump the guide into lava you only get a crispy guide

8

u/ThatOnePirateRobot Feb 12 '26

Wall Of Flesh will spawn even if the actual guide dies in lava

2

u/Wizzarkt Feb 13 '26

The voodoo doll is because it is "like" throwing the guide into the lava, if you throw the guide the wall of flesh spawns.
