The Wall of Shadows is a Hardmode boss. Before the 1.3.1.7 update, it served as a Wall of Flesh counterpart for worlds with Corruption.

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 a Shadow Hand is killed, the chain is broken and the Shadow Hand chases the player.
Rapidly shoots purple lasers.
Shoots a round of purple lasers.

Second stage[ | ]

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

Expert Mode[ | ]

Shadow Hands 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 when 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.

Summons[ | ]

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 Dryad NPC will be killed and the Wall of Shadows will be summoned.

Trivia[ | ]

The Wall of Shadows Boss and its attacks came from a suggestion made by Zoomo
The Wall of Shadows bears a resemblance to Wall of Flesh, but it possesses different attacks and stats.
Unlike the Wall of Flesh, which spawns on the side of the Underworld you're closest to, the Wall of Shadows will spawn on a random side of the Underworld, so it is recommended to start the fight in the middle of the Underworld.

History[ | ]

Remastered 1.3.1.7: No longer a Wall of Flesh counterpart, moved to another tier and has better AI.
Remastered 1.3: Introduced.
