Best Weapons for fighting Eater of Worlds and Eye of Cthulhu

[MENTAL]

So i'm not new to Terraria, but I did get back into playing it after a whole bunch of months; but I can't quite seem to remember what weapons would be the most effective. Earlier I had attempted to fight Eye of Cthulhu with a space gun. And it almost worked, I have tried to fight the Eater of Worlds, but that was back before I had good armor. My current gear is a full set of meteorite armor, an enchanted sword, a space gun, and a musket. Any ideas to make the fights a little more simple?

Well the classic one for eye, is simply shurikens. Take all the shurikens collected thus far, and spam them thru the eye, as he hovers above you, the idea is each one comes back strait down and hits again. Same idea works with any thrown weapon early game (knives, javelins, etc,).

For Eater, spiky balls from goblin invasion, flail, vilethorn, basically anything that sets out for a period, that ends up hitting every segment as he travels thru it, thus being slowed each hit and quickly killed one segment at time, one after the other. Just holding flail out and lettign his head, followed by every other segment go right thru it, is by far the easiest and quickest.

So worst case scenario, go to edge of map, kill enough goblin socuts for 10 torn banners to make goblin battle standard. Gather spiky balls from goblins, and use them for Eater. They also work quite well against Skeletron. Just throw out all the spiky balls, and then let him swing arms and head thru as he chases you.

build a flat arena to fight them both in. make sure eater of worlds arena is in the corruption and block off any entrances where other monsters can come in so they dont give you a rough time. eye of cthulu is pretty easy. space gun is very good so just try again but learn from your mistakes like run away when he has teeth and starts flying at you while shooting at him and the when he tries to hover over you turn the other way and run that way. eater shoud be no problem with spikey balls and space gun. if you can, try get a vilethorn it will reck him to bits.
