(Estimated Read Time: 3 minutes)

Introduced in the version 1.2 update, the Witch Doctor NPC in Terraria sells essential items for exploration and progression, including the Imbuing Station for players to make flasks. But how can you invite this NPC to your community?

How Do You Invite the Witch Doctor NPC in Terraria?

Players must fulfill two conditions to invite the Terraria Witch Doctor NPC successfully:

• The Queen Bee is defeated, and
• An available house is suitable for occupancy

The Queen Bee is a pre-Hardmode boss in the Jungle biome. As for the available house, you must build a home with at least one light source, table or flat-surface item, chair or comfort item, and entry point (e.g., a door or gate). The house must also be at least 10 tiles high and 6 tiles wide. For more information about NPC housing requirements, click here. If done correctly, a message appears in the screen's bottom-left corner, saying that the Witch Doctor NPC is moving into town.
