The Guide

Why can't there be You and The Wall of Flesh in the same place? Hmmmmmmm????

Whose flesh do you think makes up the wall?!

I was lucky enough to be this world’s chosen sacrifice. This is both a privilege and a great curse. Essentially, I am a vessel which the guardian of the world waits for. Once my flesh has been melted from bone, it possesses and deforms the meat into its own form.

Without me, there is no wall; and without a wall, there is no guardian.

Happy pride month, Anon!

On the topic of pride, I figure I could share a little fun fact about myself! I think I can best be described as “playersexual”… which, I think translates best - toooooo… “bisexual”!

Hahaha! I’m sure they would! I actually have a lead on where The Stylist may be! I’ve heard talk that in this world they’re an adventurer! You might run into them at some point down the line!

But hey, why the hell is the thing holding the world together aka you cof cof is a giant wall made of still fresh flesh? How the hell did this happen?

Well, why did the clothier transform into that gigantic flying skeleton? Why is there a giant flying eyeball with a mouth? Why are there biomes of decay and flesh that stretch and consume miles and miles of the world?

Eldritch curses are often intentionally beyond comprehension. If something doesn’t make sense it’s likely because of Cthulhu’s influences. He who has turned this world into a corrupted infinitely deforming parody of itself.

Haha… Hahaha! No… I couldn’t! I couldn’t at all! Far out of line for a Guide!…

Hahahahaha! Ohh but how I’d love to!… My, I’m speaking so inappropriately!

He hands it back, still laughing.

The Guardian, or as you would call it “The Wall of Flesh”, is the string that holds Terraria’s seams together. Once it’s destroyed, the Spirits of Light and Dark will be released and will commence the search for a new Guardian.

When you destroy it there’s no turning back for this world. The sacrifice must be made if you wish to save Terraria from The Moon Lord.

You must be willing to give up everything to achieve this mission. There will come a time where I won’t be around to guide you anymore. Only challenge the guardian when you’re ready.

Bah! I look like I’ve aged a decade!…

I think we are too! You all only freed him recently so I haven’t known him for very long but I feel a deep kinship with him.

He’s a bit of a funny guy, odd and unsociable in many ways but I think he should be treated with kindness and grace. I can’t imagine the horrors of what he’s been through.
