Spawn

It does not spawn on its own, the only way to summon it is to throw a Shadow Relic into lava in the underworld (Much like in the Wall of Flesh). The boss can be only summoned if Plantera is defeated and there is a Dryad in the world. After throwing Shadow Relic the Dryad will die.

Behavior

The Wall of Shadows behaves almost exactly as the Wall of Flesh does but has a different physical appearance. Unlike the Wall of Flesh, which has two eyes and one mouth, the Wall of Shadows only has one eye on the first phase which turns into a mouth on the second phase.

Attacks

First stage

• Spawns with Shadow Hands hanging on chains which move toward the player and damage them. When Shadow Hand is killed it's chain is broken and the Hand will chase the player.
• Rapidly shoots purple lasers.
• Shoots a round of purple lasers.

Second stage

• Has attacks from first stage.
• Summons Shadow Steeds which chase the player.
• Shoots a large shadowbeam that can bounce off walls.

Expert Mode

• Hand of the Fallen can't despawn while the Wall of Shadows is still alive.
• The Wall of Shadows moves faster as it's health depletes.
• It can reach up to 50 mph while below 500 HP (As compared to the Hermes Boots at only 30 mph, Lightning Boots at 34, and the bunny mount at 38).
• Shoots lasers more rapidly.
• Can inflict Shadowflame debuff on player for 4 seconds.

Notes

• Build a long platform to kite it so you don't fall into the lava or have to worry about platforming.
• Avoid the lasers; the lasers can kill you when you're near the boss.
• When throwing a Shadow Relic in the lava of the Underworld, the Template:Item link NPC will be killed and the Wall of Shadows will be summoned.
