Notes

  • You do not need to move the Witch Doctor to the Jungle biome, placing 80 Jungle blocks near his house will change the Biome and allow you to buy from his Jungle specific inventory. Lihzahrd Brick or Jungle Grass Seed on Mud if you don't have the Picksaw.
  • You can also summon the Witch Doctor to the Jungle using the King Statue to gain access to his special buys.
  • Lihzahrd blocks will also count towards a Jungle biome, but won't spawn Jungle hostiles.
  • A house counts as within a Jungle biome if the background changes to the Jungle-themed background while in the housing, or Jungle-themed music starts to play.
  • The Witch Doctor appears to be a Lihzahrd.
