Bonjour/Bonswar, Guys and Girls !
Tired of failing to kill the Eater of Worlds ?
Angered by the Overpowered Vile Spits ?
Crying because this trick is too strong for you ?
Well here and now I'll show you how to kill it the easy way !
1) Preparation
Because you absolutely need to do it !
2) Fighting
Because that's why you're here, right ?
Keep in mind the boss itself doesn't hurt that much. you'll want to avoid his vile spits that deal around 50 damage(Got nerfed since 1-2 small updates more and his head or body. That's why the boxes are here !
Now that we are done with the 2 sections above, let's take a look at my stuff when I killed it again :
As you can see, I have no armor But I have x2 warding and x1 armored accessories to compensate for 16 BASE defense so I'm ok.
Now the items that can help you make it easier :
Shield of Cthulhu : If you already killed the Eye, this item can be useful to escape the EoW bodyblock or to deal more damage to the head when it comes towards you.
Fuzzy Carrot/Bunny Mount : Why a mount and why especially the bunny ?
First, It's easy to obtain (Complete 5 fishing quests) and second, if you can handle multiple keys at once, you should be able to use it to avoid potential fall damage when you fly too high or fall off the arena (I don't know if the other mounts grant immunity to fall damage).
Shark Tooth Necklace : Dropped by the Blood Moon monsters, this necklace allows your shurikens to deal even more damage. You cannot neglect it.
Slime Staff : Although you REALLY must have some luck to get the slime staff from almost any slime, this slime is a pain in the Worm's butt. The slime becomes even stronger with the Shark Tooth Necklace equiped. But de-summon it when some of the segments are heavily damaged because the slime can unitentionally split the Worm in multiples smaller worms (And you want to avoid that at all costs).
Waterbolt : How did I manage to forget this weapon ? This is probably the best thing against the EoW and you can almost ignore the safety rules above. However, close the arena to make the projectiles bounce back to the Worm. Thanks to @Snibob for reminding me of this item !
And many more items that can help such as Arkhalis, Star Cannon if you found meteorite,
4) Conclusion
I hope this guide will help you beat the Eater of Worlds in Expert Mode,
Then again, I want your opinion about this guide and know if you managed to easily kill it.
And finally, Thanks for, at least, having read this until the end.
Because It may not be seriously needed to get someone to post a guide after all (Meaning I made some useless stuff which is completly necessary).
Anyway, see you on the Terraria Forums !

1) Preparation
Because you absolutely need to do it !
- Have a character with at least 300 HP. This is recommended by me but you can do it with one that has 240 or 260 HP (If I did it, why not you ?). It's risky trying with 200 HP but it might work if you are really skilled/confident/out of your mind ;
- Have at least 15 BASE Defense, you can do it through armor and accessories (Reforge if Goblin is in the town) ;
- Grab a hook, any hook is fine, I did it with fish and slime hooks ;
- Also grab a BUNCH of shurikens (Nothing else is required) ;
- Using any METEO in a Bottle works as well as the Rocket/Spectre boots ;
- Consider having a cooked fish, 2-3 Ironskin, Regeneration and Swiftness potions EACH because this fight is quite long ;
- Make an arena that looks like the one below (Don't forget the Heart Lantern or at least the Campfires ) :
2) Fighting
Because that's why you're here, right ?
Keep in mind the boss itself doesn't hurt that much. you'll want to avoid his vile spits that deal around 50 damage(Got nerfed since 1-2 small updates more and his head or body. That's why the boxes are here !
- Hide behind the boxes as much as you can. the vile spits don't go through blocks so they are really useful ;
- Always aim for the head, you don't want to have to handle multiple small Eaters at once, and you cannot dodge everything at once ;
- When the Worm digs through one of the boxes, and you have to dodge, be careful ! The vile spits can now hit you easily. Destroy them with some shurikens to avoid losing too many HP in the process ;
- When you are in the situation above, move. Just move. With the Hook and your Double Jump try reaching These Platforms before he traps you in his body and starts slaughtering you (And you don't want to take too many vile spits in the face) ;
- Even if he has like 5-10 segments left, don't let your guard down, he can still kill you. I can tell you about it ...
- Don't forget to drink again when the buffs go out. don't make the mistake that lead me once to the 50 HP limit (And death another time...)
