in TerrariaEater of Worlds is one of the first bosses players can encounter when playing Corruption. This boss is a huge worm that constantly bumps into players, gets in their way and shoots tons of projectiles at them in expert mode. The rewards for defeating this boss are worth it, but the struggle to defeat him in the first place can’t be overstated.
This boss can be fought as soon as the game starts, but it is recommended for players to defeat the Eye of Cthulu and obtain important armor and accessories to help turn the tide of battle. The only requirements are a hammer and/or some way to destroy Ebonstone, usually explosives.
Summon the Eater of Worlds
The Eater of Worlds is a former boss of the Pre-Hardmode exclusive to the Corruption Vital, and there are two ways to produce it. The way most players will get used to it is wading through the large chasms created naturally by corruption to break Shadow Orbs, which can be destroyed with a hammer or with explosives. Explosives can be found in pots and chests underground or sold by the Terminator.
When Shadow Orbs are destroyed, a whole bunch of items can be dropped, most of which will benefit some players.

After three orbs are broken, and the player receives his gun and other items, the huge worm will appear. They can also be spawned in another way, which is useful if the player runs out of Shadow Orbs to destroy. Worm Food can be made using 15 Worm Bits and 30 Vile Powder (made from a Vile mushroom in a bottle) and they are crafted together at a Demon Altar. Using this element in Corruption will produce the Eater of Worlds.
Best gear to eat in the world
The best equipment will generally resemble the equipment used in Brain of Cthulu, given that Eater of Worlds is its Corrupted counterpart. Most of the early game pre-created materials, armors, or items will work in this boss fight, and Terraria Players should go with their favorite accessories. This guide will list some of the best things to give the best chance of beating the boss.
Platinum shield Your best bet would be to pick up the armor, as it has the highest defense of any armor you can get before fighting the Eater of Worlds. Shadow shield It can also be obtained if the player defeats enough segments of the worm before dying. For the summoners, a flax fur coat or obsidian shield He is the best. For Mage, the Diamond robe And the magician’s hat is a great combination.
supplements Players must mainly participate in underground players in gold chests. In particular, the Hermes Shoes, Cloud in a Bottle, Renewal Ring, Savage Claws, and the Cthulhu’s shield in expert mode. These accessories primarily focus on movement, allowing for easy escape when fighting this huge worm. pond Players must swap Feral Claws with Star Power Band.
- ruckus You should focus on more of the close range elements of this fight as any long range fighting options will usually perform poorly against this boss. the Ball Oh Hurt It becomes an easy recommendation, tearing the president’s health. Grass blade Hard to come by in the jungle, but the wide range and great shell make it worth going for.
- ranged You should consider experimenting with piercing options, such as Clown arrows. while the musket It can be used for players who want to focus on hitting the head, and its inability to hit multiple segments makes it impractical. Devil’s bow It is the best choice in combination with the above stocks, however Platinum bow Not a bad alternative.
- pond You should consider Diamond Crew An invaluable asset given the hole, the great damage, and the general ease of obtaining it. Waterbolt It’s only an option if players can get it from the Dungeon before Skeletron, which depends on how beautiful the world generation is. Finally, the Philethorn It’s the best option, but only if it’s dropped from the Shadow Orb.
- summoner She doesn’t have many options at this point in the game, however snapthorn Made from woods materials is a must. Vampire Frog Crew It’s great if the player has the patience to wait for the bloody moon and start hunting. If not, then Finch crew or Flinx crew Both are decent alternatives that only require some exploring or grinding.
How to fight the eater of worlds
The Eater of Worlds is a tough fight in normal mode, where the player practically speeds up once the third shadow ball is broken. Players can fight the Eater of Worlds underground or use a rope to climb back up to the surface for more freedom of movement. However, in expert mode this becomes less of an option, as the Eater of Worlds will start shooting dark projectiles which becomes a lot less of a problem underground.
When the third orb is broken, a boss is born, so players must have a planned escape route to their arena. This makes entering with a hammer rather than pure explosives a good option, as explosives can detonate the rope or platforms around it. Once the battle begins, the player must dodge the World Eater’s rushes and be careful not to split the boss into several sections. There is only one stage, but the middle of the fight is the hardest.
Terraria Players will have to hunt down the split worm, and at different points in the fight, players will need to change their strategy.
The beginning of the fight
In the beginning, there will only be one huge worm to deal with. This stage is not very difficult, as it only requires the player to dodge the worm that is rushing towards them by either running away or jumping over it and running under it. This is where damage can best be achieved by hitting him with a piercing projectile or getting close enough to hit him at point blank range.
Ideally, players should try to hit the head and tail more than anything else because breaking them will cause hearts to fall out and make the worm inseparable. However, in an actual battle, this becomes impractical and slow, and it’s best to do as much damage as possible in a short time frame while keeping an eye on health.
mid fight
This is where the fighting becomes more difficult. unless Terraria Players hit the head exclusively, the worm will split into many segments. This means running across the track, which means Hermes shoes are priceless. Due to the large number of small worms in the middle of a battle, it is difficult to dodge them, so running rather than avoiding them is the better strategy.
Getting a few shots or waiting for a worm to close in and then take some close quarter damage are the perfect ways to hurt. After a while, the worms will start to die, and the fight will get easier over time. This means that by the time players have eliminated a few worms, it will be the easiest fight ever, allowing for a clean finish.
rewards
The rewards for the Eater of Worlds are similar to her counterpart, Crimson, all of which make the boss worth doing. Demon Ore can be turned into bars, and combined with Shadow Gauge, make for some amazing equipment.
