A Tale to Tell
Twice so far I have encounterd the EoW after smashing Shadow Orbs and, being as I didn't prepare at all in adance, had to fight it in the caves. I actually had no trouble doing so. I had a Ball 'O Hurt from the orbs and just grappled to the ceiling, so I could easily see him coming. I didn't have much of an option to dodge, (so I used a few potions,) but I got plenty of clear shots at him. I did this first with a Silver Armor set, then a Shadow Armor set. -- TechpriestMagos 23:26, 14 July 2011 (UTC)
teleportation
if you made your spawn point at one of the corruption sites and then broke 3 (or your third) orb at the other site, could you teleport back to the other corruption site without the worm disappearing?
Good Swords for EoW
When I fought the EoW with a enchanted sword, it was a cakewalk. Also, the Bee Keeper can be extremely helpful, granted you can kill the queen bee before summoning the EoW.
