Even though other gear is good, you may want Molten armor so then you can get the most defense points armor wise while in pre-hardmode. Without cheating and getting hardmode gear in hard mode world then returning to your prehardmode world. Along with molten fury, you may want to get night's edge, the minishark, you also might want the lucky horseshoe on a cloud in a balloon, with lighting boots or better, an obsidian shield, and build a hellbridge, basically the same thing as a skybridge except in hell, and is a bigger pain in the butt because of the diversity of mobs in the underworld. But that bridge will help. You will also want to have some sort of grappling hook (I prefer diamond hook), lava charm is nice to have, but rare, and have some sort of spell book, like a scythe book, or water bolt, or the book of skulls...they should all be on the wiki too if you want to figure the stats and the chances of inquiring one. My opinion on this bossfight is that each player varies in what they use, I personally goes in heavy with lighting boots, full molten armor, night's edge, at least molten bow, (Sharanga on Console), and the lucky horseshoe with the cloud in a balloon.
