Guide talk:Eater of Worlds strategies

A Tale to Tell
Twice so far I have encounterd the EoW after smashing Shadow Orbs and, being as I didn't prepare at all in adance, had to fight it in the caves. I actually had no trouble doing so. I had a Ball 'O Hurt from the orbs and just grappled to the ceiling, so I could easily see him coming. I didn't have much of an option to dodge, (so I used a few potions,) but I got plenty of clear shots at him. I did this first with a Silver Armor set, then a Shadow Armor set. -- TechpriestMagos 23:26, 14 July 2011 (UTC)

teleportation
if you made your spawn point at one of the corruption sites and then broke 3 (or your third) orb at the other site, could you teleport back to the other corruption site without the worm disappearing?

'terrain preparation' section
"If you are summoning Eater of Worlds by breaking Shadow Orbs, building a full-scale arena for every third orb or even trying to get all the way up to the surface is probably impractical. In that case, you will still benefit from taking time for terrain prep as shadow orbs are located in confined spaces and not being able to move around can get you trapped as Eater of Worlds circles around you..."

What about teleporting back to your arena using the Magic Mirror as soon as you break the 3rd orb?--Correctaphobia (talk) 08:11, 16 July 2013 (UTC)
