The sheer ammount of times I've seen people suggest Hardmode weapons to take on this boss is ridiculous. True, they can ensure a BoC kill, but it is not necessary for this boss. Heck, you can suggest a Aqua Scepter (which is post-Skeletron, and Skeletron is harder than BoC), but it's still ridiculous. The fact that this boss is early-mid prehardmode means that all that is necessary is one of the higher tiers of basic metal armor (or lower), a weapon that has decent knockback and something to kill the Creepers with too.
