If you do have a straight line prepared and you can take a few hits, it is very easy to inflict a lot of damage with a medium-ranged weapon like a yoyo with a string boost or a bow, as the player can land many shots in succession without needing to aim. Featherfall potions will allow players to stay in the air for much longer, making the circling much easier. Because of this, moving in circles using the hover effect and/or double jumps is much safer. While Skeletron is spinning, running in a straight line with your Boots isn't recommended as it starts firing the skulls as soon as the attack is completed, so the player will most likely get hit by one of them. The most effective way to dodge the skull attacks while remaining under the head of Skeletron is to run/dash left and right in quick and alternating succession. However, this could make the spin attack connect more easily if the player isn't careful, as the head will stand closer to them. It's easier to dodge the skulls of the second stage while Skeletron remains above the player, since they can be dodged like Queen Bee's stingers with a little curve. It is recommended to kill both hands at the same time, to minimize the amount of time Skeletron spends attacking with homing skulls alongside its remaining hand.īecause of the player's lack of knockback immunity, getting hit by the spin attack can result on a death even at full health due to its massive damage and speed, so the player needs high mobility to avoid it at all costs.Ī Blue Horseshoe Balloon or its equivalents together with Lightning Boots can provide that mobility, together with the Shield of Cthulhu, or a Featherfall Potion. Their attacks have a 50% chance to briefly apply the Slow debuff, which can greatly slow down a player, even if just for a second. Skeletron's head also inflicts the bleeding debuff, disabling Health RegenerationĪt the beginning of the fight, the arms must be prioritized first, as the Head will barely take any damage with its massive defense. The frequency of this attack increases as its health goes down and when the other arm falls. After one of the arms goes down, Skeletron gains the ability to shoot skulls with a small homing effect when it's not spinning. Moreover, the hands can inflict the Slow debuff on you, and its spin attack is much faster than in Normal Mode. As such, you're forced to detach the arms from it in order to progress. This means that almost every weapon at that point will not do more than 1 damage without a critical hit. Skeletron's head has 60 defense until one of its hands go down. When enraged Skeletron acts just like the Dungeon Guardian gaining extreme amounts of damage and defense, instantly killing players while only taking 1 or 2 damage from all attacks. You can also use this time to deal damage to them, but keep in mind that their defense isn't reduced.įailing to defeat it before 4:30 AM in-game will cause Skeletron to enrage. However, make sure to constantly move if the player gets hit by it, they might get stunlocked and take a lot of damage.ĭuring the spin attack, the hands will stay fixed in a uphanded position while Skeletron moves. ![]() The player should use the fastest weapon at their disposal to deal a lot of damage. During this attack, Skeletron's defense is lowered to zero, but gains more attack. Skeletron moves slowly, but they constantly follow the player. The arms don't have much health, so they can be detached fairly easily.Īfter some time, Skeletron will use its spinning attack. Timing is key in order to defend from the hands: after dodging them, use your piercing weapons to deal damage to both arms (and Skeletron's skull, if it happens to align with them). It can use both hands to have different timings and trajectories, so the player might get caught off-guard by trying to dodge its other hand. The player can dodge them by either jumping or running around. ![]() However, the main issue is their erratic trajectory. This attack is quite easy to predict, as it prepares them by pulling them back, so you can prepare to dodge them. It attacks the player by swiping its hands. In order to defeat it, you must kill the head. Skeletron is a large skeleton, composed of a head and 2 hands. It must then be defeated before all the involved players die. ![]() Kill Clothier at night, with Clothier Voodoo Doll.Skeletron can be spawned by fulfilling one of these conditions: ![]()
