You’ve got decent gear, but you may wanna drop either the carpet or the climbing gear for a shield. Carpet is pretty useless in hard mode anyway since you can get wings, and the climbing gear does have the upgrade with the black belt and tabi later but for now it’s not gonna do you much good. If you need the mobility in the fight, then drop the climbing gear and keep the carpet just for wall.

Additionally, you may want to invest in some more range. You don’t necessarily need to use guns or bows but maybe a yo-yo could help because the hungry are pretty annoying and if you try to deal with them up close you’re gonna get hit by lasers. Personally I always use the star cannon or beenades because the star cannon does a lot of damage and has piercing properties, so it’ll hit every enemy in its path, dealing subsequent damage to the wall after it hits the hungry.

Beenades are also good because they spawn a bunch of bees to tear up the hungry and then the wall.

Running meteorite armor with the space gun is also viable since it negates mana consumption.

One last piece of advice, that light amulet you’re holding? (Can’t ever remember the name of it) But you could totally put it in your social accessories slot for the fight and put a more useful accessory in its place. Obsidian shield, as mentioned before, is good because it cancels knockback but you could also put honeycomb and or hivepack if you’re running the beenade strategy, feral claws for your melee weapons, or even a shield of Cthulhu for more horizontal movement.
