Wait, gold armor? Why? If you have 3 dynamite, blow up the ebon blocks in the corruption above the shadow orbs, and summon eater of worlds. He'll drop a piece of the demon armor free, and TONS of the scales and demon ore.

Beating skeletron with gold won't help you much; you'll need better for the dungeon anyways. You can rush in and get the water bolt first during the night though. I got it before the enemy spawns even appeared (regular or heads). That spell works decently on Worm boss (shoot a couple, then hit with whatever you got.
