have you been killing skeletron alot already and still fail? if so, this guide will help you in killing skeletron:
first lets discuss his phases.
1. Arm Phase
skeletron will hover above you while trying to smash u with his hands. 3-4 smashes and skeletron will switch to phase 2.
trying to kill skeletron while his arms are alive will only deal 1 damage and 2 if u crit, so its crucial to kill his arms before moving into his head
2. Spinning Phase
the best reason why you must be dying is this, skeletron will attempt to stunlock you by spinning, please note that his spinning phase is much faster.
skeletron will now keep switching phase 1 and 2 until all of his arms are destroyed. after 1 arm is dead, phase 3 begins
3. Skull Phase
after 1 arm is dead, skeletron will shot skulls at you and they are homing as well. if both arms are dead, then he will shot them more frequently with a tighter curve.
phase 2 and 3 will keep repeating until his head is dead.
now onto tips:
your arena must be very long, because his spinning phase is the scariest, once u get hit, he will keep hitting u without any escape, ending badly. this is why you must make ur arena long to outlast his spinning phase
the best accessories i would recommend by the top list is the SHIELD OF CTHULHU, i cant imagine the boss fight without it. 2 more great accessories is the worm scarf and the hermes/spectre/lightning/frostspark boots.
time to move into my strategy:
Stinging the Skeletron
accessories:
HIve pack
spectre/lightning
worm scarf
SoC
5th slot can be of any choice, but i recommend blizzard/sandstorm in a bottle
weapons:
a lot of beenades
bee knees
buff pots? all of what u have.
now to killing skelly:
spam the beenades into burst, 3 beenades then switch to bee knees. the phase where u must be careful is the spinning phase, as he spins, dash quickly into east/west outrunning him with spectre,
repeat process until 2 of his arms are both low. as he spins, kill his arms at the same time. now here comes the hard part.
its very hard to explain but ill do my best. there are gaps between the skulls, when u are able to, jump into the gaps so u wont get hit often, they pack a punch. if you have the slime mount, use it. now repeat the process until u kill him.
there u go! skeletron is killed, now its time for you to raid the dungeon!
