I recommend Necro Armor over Crimson /Shadow armor if you're going to be using a Phoenix Blaster. I usually just solo the thing once I get my Molten Pick and Phoenix Blaster with Necro Armor on, all you really need is a long platform and some Silver Bullets.

The guide is good but try to remember, things like Ironskin potions (which add a ton of defense early game), Bowls of Soup, and Regeneration potions are easy to get and are cheap!
