Use the armor, a silver bow with some flaming or unholy arrows (or jester's arrows), a musket and 500 musket balls and build the platforms as shown in the wiki and you don't need to heal. I did that with copper chestplate, iron helmet and silver greaves and the least HP i had at one time was about 186. (I had gotten 6 life crystals by then.)
