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.

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.

What does the wall of flesh drop?

Lxiaoqi

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?

Lxiaoqi

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?

Nathanael Sahara

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.

To get Obsidian Skin Potions easily, make a lava farm for Obsidian. If you don’t want to do this, then most of the materials (except for Water Leaf) should be found in the Underworld. Water Leaf can be found in the jungle.
Keep a good pickaxe handy so you can dig yourself out if you get trapped!

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.
