When I was at this point, I too was having this problem, though I managed to get past. You've 2 solutions: 1. Buy some explosives and blast your way to shadow orbs 2. Make worm food with 30 vile powder (which can be obtained from vile mushrooms. I think you might need an alchemy station, I can't remember) and 15 rotten chunks and summon the EoW and kill it. You'll probably want some kind of flail and/or a melee weapon that swings in an arc with moderate damage. You may want most of the gold armor or better. Also, you might want a good ranged weapon like a gun or a bow for when the EoW jumps high. One flail you can get at this point is the Ball O Hurt. What I'd suggest doin is smashing 2 shadow orbs and then use worm food so you can get loot from shadow orbs. Even though it's expensive, it's worth it.
