To deactivate Pre-Hardmode and proceed to Hardmode, the player must defeat the Wall of Flesh.

 * Brain of Cthulhu is a floating brain with 10 Creepers floating around it, and the Creepers and the brain must be killed for it to be defeated. It can only be spawned and fought in the Crimson. In Crimson worlds, it replaces the Eater of Worlds. (see Brain of Cthulhu for more information.)
 * The Queen Bee is a hugehornet that is fought in the Underground Jungle inside of Hives.
