Thats what I am doing but for fuck sakes Hellstone is no longer immune to Dynamite so I have to grenade spam their asses.
But srsly I JUST WANT FUCKING HELLSTONE ARMOR but I can't get hellstone because i am being out spammed and then rushed by 4 fucking bones at a time.

You could do it in single-player, since characters are persistant across worlds.

For the record sunfury is pretty pointless. The only reason to have it is to have it. It can do nothing you can't do better with muramasa, phoenix blaster, or, hell, even the flamarang and/or molten fury.

Flails in general are pretty terrible, though.

I mean, I guess you can kill Eater of Worlds a little faster with it by standing in an enclosed space and clicking the wall really fast, but you're also going to take more damage than fighting him in, literally, any other way (including standing in an enclosed space and using a different weapon 'cause at least you can walk around a LITTLE with anything else and still maintain attack speed), and it's boring as fuck.

That said, yeah, multiplayer maps spawn lots of bone serpents and shit, which is why I farmed sunfury on tahr's server, and mined up my first set of molten armor on my single player server.

Sunfury is actually a really good boss killer, excluding the Eye of Cthulu. At least, in my experience.

Try phoenix blaster with meteor shot. The only thing SF kills faster than meteor shot blaster is the eater, and like I said, that requires you to stand against a wall and hit the wall or floor to maximize your attack speed, which means you can't dodge, and also tends to make the eater's head hover near you longer (as you're destroying the head while it's right on top of you multiple times), which all results in using more pots than you would normally.

Muramasa only takes a very little bit longer, and you come out of it using like half the pots. And if you're in an open area blaster is still just plain faster.

There are ways to kill bosses stupidly fast with Sunfury, but you have to do a bunch of well-timed ninja shit and you can just pop caps in them with PB

I even prefer the Blue moon over the Muramasa because against enemies like the eye and worm I can do I decent upward throw right into them as it chains damage during that moment that if floats there, and then if throw in line with the eater it will really rack up damage.

Part of why I'm going to go for the Sunfury soon since I want that extra pain it brings.

Muramasa is terrible against most bosses, yes (I still use it ANYWAY, 'cause it's not like they're actually hard... but then I also don't wear armor when fighting most bosses unless I'm doing a multi-summon boss rush or just want some demonite quick). All swords are. But seriously, try the blaster against the eye. You can only do the 'float damage' now and then, but with the blaster you're constantly popping caps into it. The fight takes under a minute.

Also, I'm not sure if you can actually hit more/faster with sunfury against eater than the 'attack the floor' trick that makes it 'swing' faster than VF speed, regardless of how you throw it into the enemy. And, again, you can only do the properly timed throws sometimes during a boss fight.

So while I definitely noticed that Eater went down much faster using sunfury in an enclosed space than using muramasa or phoenix blaster, it wasn't so much faster as to make sunfury worth getting.

Man I just started playing and I don't know what you dudes are talking about- I just hit stuff with my pickaxe and it dies. Eater of the World comes out of ground and I just pick him in the eye. It pretty sweet.
Don't use guns. They kill people.

I am in my own single player. I have No idea how bad Hell would be in the server.

Also I am about to make a run on my map with blue brick to farm for a sun furry. Because hell stone can't stand dynamite anymore.

also I am swimming in fireflowers
I got 8 the last time i was in hell.
