Terraria – How to fight the wall of flesh without killing the guide

terraria

I'm nearing hardmode, but I have moral objections to sacrificing the Guide in order to fight the Wall of Flesh. Even in a silly video game I don't want to be that evil.

Is there a way to summon the Wall of Flesh without sacrificing the Guide?

I'm not interested in solutions like "accidentally kill a voodoo demon over the lava", I want to actually not kill the Guide.

I had the same feelings when I was ready to enter Hardmode. There apparently is not a way to summon the Wall of Flesh or any other bosses from the vanilla console, but there are mods.

I used TShock, a Terraria server that lets you spawn any boss (among other things). It worked nicely, and if you want to quit using it after you beat the Wall of Flesh, that's fine - it's an external server, so there's nothing to uninstall from your game.

  1. Back up your saves! Just because it's better to be safe than sorry.
  2. Download TShock and start the server.
  3. Join the server via multiplayer, using 127.0.0.1 as the IP and the default port.
  4. Become an admin, as described in the instructions linked in step 2.
  5. Enter /spawnboss wof in the in-game chat, preferably while in the Underworld.
