if you find it difficult to get just the firey greatsword you have no business bothering the wall of flesh, because if he won't own you, the enemies in hardmode WILL. brutally. grenades will NOT help you against the wall, and the phoenix blaster wont help either. Minigun for ranged, firey greatsword (at least) for melee. Note, you dont NEED to go melee, it just makes it easier since the tentacles get tougher the less hp the eyes have. its still doable. If you have a solid straight line (it needs to be at LEAST 500-750 blocks long for your first attempt). Potion up, and blast him with the minigun. If you're lucky, he'll drop a good clockwork gun, which is better than the minigun (imho)
