Eater of World is a Pre-Hardmode boss fought in the Corruption.

While in Revengeance and Death Mode,

Spawn
The Eater of Worlds is summoned using Worm Food while inside The Corruption, or by destroying 3 Shadow Orbs that spawn in Corruption worlds. It can be summoned at any time of day.

Aftermath

 * If a Shadow Orb hasn't been destroyed, the Merchant will begin selling Crimson Rod and The Rotted Fork.
 * The Dryad will begin selling Worm Food and Bloody Spines.
 * The Dryad will begin selling the Brain of Confusion in Expert Mode.

General
It is better to fight The Eater Of Worlds above ground, to allow for more room to escape its vital spits and his cursed flame blasts.

Melee

 * The Starfury is a great pick for melee due to its piercing star that can deal good damage to the Eaters' segments.
 * The Cnidarian is another good option due to its seashell projectiles which are also great at dealing with the vital spits.
 * A good option is to also use a Counterweight as a small shield for said spits, and bonus damage.
 * The Seashell Boomerang is a decent pick due to its pierce.

Ranged

 * The Seabow is an all around decent option for rangers.
 * It is highly reccomended to use any piercing arrows with this bow, as they can decimate the boss.
 * The Aquashard Shotgun is a great choice due to its piercing shrapnel that deal greatly with the Eater and his spits.

Mage

 * The Sky Glaze is a decent pick for mages due to its explosive damage.
 * The Acid Gun is also a great pick due to its piercing spray.

Summoner

 * The Seabound Staff, Stormjaw Staff and the Magical Conch are great options due to their piercing capabilities.

Rogue

 * The Crystalline is a decent pick to deal with multiple segments at once.
 * The Seafoam Bomb is a good choice due to its explosive damage.
 * The Dune Hopper is a great option due to its pierce and overall high damage.
 * Note that this is a rare item so it may be difficult to obtain
