I have a strategy which works for me, but I think I had a glitch. What happened was the Eater of Worlds woke up, and started attacking me, It's easier to fight above ground, so I used the magic mirror, and went home, planning to travel back to the Corruption like I usually do to fight the Eater of Worlds. When I spawned back at my base it said in the bottom left "A Goblin Army is approaching from the west". So I stuck around at my base to fight them. Mid-way during the time I was fighting the Goblin Army, a message popped up in the bottom right corner saying "The Eater of Worlds has been defeated!". I didn't see the Eater of Worlds at all since I spawned back at my base, but after the Goblin Army died off, I travelled back to the Corruption hoping to at least get the drops of figure out how it died. I found nothing in the Corruption and I continued onwards. Just before the sea, there was a bit of land that had been smashed by a meteorite which I triggered by blowing up a shadow orb. I went into the sea, and I found some Demonite ore and some other common stuff. I don't remember the Eater of Worlds dropping Demonite ore, and it's useless to me since I have around 75 bars of it, and I need Shadow Scales. So I'm thinking, is it just a random glitch, or did the Eater of Worlds get killed by the meteorite? Is that even Possible? Oh, and by the way I'm on version 1.0.6.1.
