The very first time I fought him, it was in 1.12. I had full Shadow Armor, plus a Warding Obsidian Shield and all the rest of my Accessories were Warding. Add in an Ironskin potion and I had 49 defense. I fought him mainly with a Murderous Star Cannon, and used more ammo than I would have like (around 250 Fallen Stars).

Subsequent fights were with a Legendary Muramasa, still with Shadow Armor, then later a Legendary Night's Edge and Molten Armor.

More recently I fought him with an Unreal Molten Fury and Jester's Arrows, again with Molten Armor, then a combination of both the Night's Edge and Molten Fury. In that fight I used a Clothier Voodoo Doll to summon him, after putting the Clothier in a house right above the Dungeon. I got a Book of Skulls, which I then spent a lot of gold to reforge to Mythical.

I was expecting the Clothier Voodoo Doll to be consumable like the other summoning items, but it is permanent. I have 8 of them in a chest in one of my worlds. I think I'll just sell them.
