Tips that doesn't make sense
Under the Tips section, it says that it is recommended to build NPC houses for nurse and druid. In the case of EoW I don't see how that's possible, as NPC houses needs to be 50 blocks away from corruption (right?) while this specific boss will despawn if it goes outside of the corruption biome. Could this please be explained or perhaps it should be removed as a tip all together if it's incorrect?

A Tale to Tell
Twice so far I have encounterd the EoW after smashing Shadow Orbs and, being as I didn't prepare at all in adance, had to fight it in the caves. I actually had no trouble doing so. I had a Ball 'O Hurt from the orbs and just grappled to the ceiling, so I could easily see him coming. I didn't have much of an option to dodge, (so I used a few potions,) but I got plenty of clear shots at him. I did this first with a Silver Armor set, then a Shadow Armor set. -- TechpriestMagos 23:26, 14 July 2011 (UTC)

teleportation
if you made your spawn point at one of the corruption sites and then broke 3 (or your third) orb at the other site, could you teleport back to the other corruption site without the worm disappearing?

Good Swords for EoW
When I fought the EoW with a enchanted sword, it was a cakewalk. Also, the Bee Keeper can be extremely helpful, granted you can kill the queen bee before summoning the EoW.

No armor and a wooden bow with fire arrows
Fighting with EoW for 1st time with no armor and a wooden bow. I did it,and i was a piece of cake,i could make it a challenge.
