A harpoon is basically all you need to defeat the Eater of Worlds. You can just build a wooden platform, stand on it, and hold down the button as EoW goes past, and you kill him completely in less than 2 minutes. More health and armour is handy, but not necessary. I use a 3 level wooden structure to fight him, but 1 or 2 would do. It does get you the full shadow armour & shadow weapon set very quickly. No lucky horseshoe or rocket boots required.
