Strategy
The Eater of Worlds acts like a larger Giant Worm, digging through the ground always trying to ram the player, will most of the time be in the ground. Because of its large size and how his body sticks together as meany weak parts, a Vilethorn is highly recommended to be brought to the fight, as the player can attack multiple parts of his body at the same time doing tremendous damage.

If you kill a part of its body it will split into a second worm and will keep dividing every time it happens. The more worms out the harder he is. The smallest size it can split into are 3 units and killing any part of that worm then will kill it. The Eater of Worlds are defeated once you kill all off them. After it is defeated, it will gib just like a regular enemy and it will drop items, a piece of Shadow Armor and a lot of Demonite and Shadow Scales.

If you are to die he will still move towards you in your spawn, you will not get rid of him until he is dead.
