Guide Voodoo Doll

The Guide Voodoo Doll is a summoning item for the Wall of Flesh. It is a guaranteed drop from Voodoo Demons, a fairly rare enemy in The Underworld.

When the doll is equipped as an accessory, it becomes possible for the player and other NPCs to kill the Guide with direct attacks from weapons (which normally would not damage him). If the item is dropped and destroyed by lava, then the Guide will instantly die, if he exists in the world. If the doll is destroyed in The Underworld (and the Guide exists), it will summon the Wall of Flesh.

As of 1.4.4 Guide Voodoo Dolls can be stacked up to 9,999. Throwing a stack of more than one into the lava will summon the Wall of Flesh, and kill the Guide, as well as killing a number of other randomly chosen NPCs in the world, equal to the number of dolls that were thrown. There are no other effects to doing this, however.
