Pretty pointless guide I'd say, all it really says is "build bridge, use best gear available"

All you really need to kill wall is demonite armor, some cursed arrows (go through several enemies, hit the wall several times and can hit all spawns) with a decent bow (demonite or up) a regeneration potion, rocket boots, grappling hook and you're settled.

You keep harping about the "safest option" but a much easier "safest option" would be to make a wall of remote control tnt and just blow him up in one go, no risk to you at all and still less hassle than building a huge bridge across hell...
