Guide Voodoo Doll

The Guide Voodoo Doll is a summoning item that allows the player to harm and kill the Guide NPC, and summon the Wall of Flesh. The Doll is always dropped by Voodoo Demons in the Underworld.

When the Doll is equipped as an accessory, it becomes possible for the player to kill the Guide with weapons (normally, NPCs cannot be harmed by player weapons). If the item itself is destroyed by Lava (i.e., the player throws the Doll into lava) the Guide dies immediately.

If the Doll is destroyed in Lava within the Underworld, the Guide dies and the Wall of Flesh (the final pre-Hardmode Boss) is summoned. The Guide must be alive before the Doll is destroyed, otherwise the Wall of Flesh will not appear.

On the Old-Gen, the Voodoo Doll is also a consumable, and can be consumed to summon the Wall of Flesh. However, this will still kill the Guide.
