Talk:Eater of Worlds/@comment-4365957-20110830010752

I found that the Hunter potion is a great way to defeat the Eater of Worlds. You'll be able to see his exact location at all times, taking away his main advantage without the need to spend time building an arena. You'll need to find the Hunter potion in a chest somewhere though because obtaining the shark fin ingredient early in the game isn't really an option. I used Ironskin, Thorn and Hunter potions and killed him pretty easily with silver armour and the meteorite axe.
