First and foremost, create a sort of skybridge in the underworld reaching about half the distance of the map (Unless you created a Large world, in which case you'll have an advantage). This is EXTREMELY important. I suggest using Ash for the bridge, as it will also turn the bridge into a good Fireblossom farm. Craft Obsidian Skin, Regeneration, Archery, Ironskin, and Thorns potions. I STRONGLY suggest crafting a Spectre Boots(requires Hermes Boots and Rocket Boots).

For weapons, my suggestion is the Phoenix Blaster, Molten Fury, and/or Demon Scythe. I beat him with Minishark, but eventually the damage drops drastically against The Hungry when you've done a lot of damage, so it's tricky to use.

Take the time to craft lots of Meteor Shot. If you're out of Shadow Orbs to spawn Meteorites with and don't have enough to make about 1000 meteor shot, then make sure you've beaten the Eater of Worlds, and buy Unholy Arrows from the Arms Dealer (he will sell them at Night, and ONLY after you beat the Eater of Worlds). Buy between 1000 and 2000. I used the Necro Armor set, but you can use whatever.

Do NOT use Hellfire Arrows (at least not immediately). The Hungry have a tendency to get up-close and personal, so using them will likely end up catching you in explosions and taking unnecessary damage. Unnecessary damage = death in this fight if you're not already in Hard Mode. You can use Jester's Arrows if you would prefer, though they have shorter range and are non-retrievable, as well as rare.

If you need extra damage to help, you can use Spiky Balls. Buy them from the Goblin Tinkerer or save them from a Goblin Invasion. Buy about fifty of them, and toss them before summoning the Wall. These will do fairly good damage to both the wall itself and its Hungry. If you feel like going overboard a little, gather some Dart Traps and Wire, pressure plates, and get a wrench; hook up dart traps underneath your skybridge and/or a slight distance above it triggered by pressure plates that the character steps on. It won't do much damage, but it'll still help a little bit.

Alternatively, if you have really good timing with explosives, then you can make the skybridge out of Dungeon bricks and use dynamite or grenades to deal massive amounts of damage. Be careful with grenades, however, as the Hungry may get in the way of your throw and damage you, as well.

All you should need in terms of healing potions are maybe ten. You won't have time to use a lot of them. The Regeneration Potion buff will likely be your primary source of healing; if you wish then you can bolster it with a Band of Regeneration.

Now for the boss strategy itself; focus on the Hungry FIRST. Kill as many of them as you can, because they can be a serious pain. Take your time and don't panic(you should have plenty of room on your skybridge). Using the Spiky Balls as suggested earlier helps tremendously with this.

Eventually you should emerge victorious. I suggest farming WoF until you receive the Clockwork Assault Rifle, that weapon is awesome with Silver or Cursed bullets. :)
