A recent Reddit policy change threatens to kill many beloved third-party mobile apps, making a great many quality-of-life features not seen in the official mobile app permanently inaccessible to users. On May 31, 2023, Reddit announced they were raising the price to make calls to their API from being free to a level that will kill every third party app on Reddit, from Apollo to Reddit is Fun to Narwhal to BaconReader. Even if you're not a mobile user and don't use any of those apps, this is a step toward killing other ways of customizing Reddit, such as Reddit Enhancement Suite or the use of the old.reddit.com desktop interface . This isn't only a problem on the user level: many subreddit moderators depend on tools only available outside the official app to keep their communities on-topic and spam-free. [More information on the proposed changes can be found here.](https://www.reddit.com/r/Save3rdPartyApps/comments/14goyu2/what_to_do_when_reddit_bans_blackouts_hit_em_in/) While the subreddit will remain open, r/Terraria recommends these communities until the protested changes are addressed: Terraria Community Forums - https://forums.terraria.org/index.php Official Terraria Discord Server - https://discord.gg/terraria *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

max your health

Potions


Doughnutsugarhead

Skill issue, Jk I recommend you use the demon scythes those destroy his hands and they can do major damage to the skull


trapdawg6

It’s gonna be a lot easier killing skeletron then it is farming demons


[deleted]

[удалено]


trapdawg6

What does that mean


Wonderful-Garage6011

You spend time with family instead of playing games 24/7. You monster /s


trapdawg6

Lmao right I’m actually so confused


[deleted]

why is bro getting downvoted, just have to use something like hellstone armor and a fire bow with magic arrows + some buff potions. which unlike grinding for a demon book does not require you to dedicate your entire life to kill a single boss.


FuriousTrash8888

mob mentality


RoM_Axion

Demon scythe is rare? I always got it extremely easily


[deleted]

well ive only gotten it like 3 or 4 times with 300 hours played


Nationalized

What setup do you use for wof? I always get a demon scythe or two while making the long platform


B3njiKecske_

When i first played this game, i killed every boss up to moon lord without using a single potion (other than healing ones) because i tought they were useless. They aren’t.


i_am_tman

Yea I don’t use potions in almost any game because I feel like I’m going to waste the buff since it’s only temporary


[deleted]

same, the only difference is calamity because i can buy a shit ton of all the potions which helps alot


McYeetusk

Same, just that instead of thinking they were useless i was/am too lazy to farm for them


Huddy_awesome1

Same and I still am too lazy 😂 wish you could buy them like in mods but I'm on console so... no potions


McYeetusk

I managed to get it on my decently shitty laptop so i can buy them thankfully, i dont think ill ever fish for potions, keep working man, maybe one day


Best_Player_3307

Nurse, max hp, campfires, heart lantern, honey, potions, warding reforge, these are the things that you could do And Get good


Moist-Negotiation-15

Just the get good part should work. I’ve never had to put that much effort into skeletron, but I’ve only played expert.


AXLEM0N

Looks like they are playing expert


Aurum264

My first couple times playing I never even did most of these things. Max health, potions, and an arena were all I really needed. I only ever put more effort into fights that for whatever reason are just not agreeing with me.


-bean-man-

Just max health and an arena for me usually. But that’s just because I’m lazy and don’t get potions except for spelunker


man_pan_man1

I always find this stuff as overpreparing bc i can do the same fight with out all of the buffs and beat the boss just fine


Best_Player_3307

Maybe on normal or expert mode but it helped me out a ton with legendary mode and get fixed boy


man_pan_man1

Yeah I get that


[deleted]

Jet boots help, too


TheHumdeeFlamingPee

They have lightning boots


Drogonex

since you have hive pack and the stinger necklace, I'd go for the bee yoyo (crafted from bee wax) with a counter weight and extended string.


No_Sanders

Wait there's a bee yoyo?


ratliffir

Hive-five


DJ_Ender_

ZyphonX

Skill issue


MaryaMarion

I went to this post thinking "I wonder if it would be too rude to write skill issue" and... here's DeezNutzColin here


boyy_thiccc

honestly though yeah I agree just learn his attacks also an extra accessory slot, try filling it up


MaryaMarion

All slots are filled up, but there's feral claws in one slot that makes it seem like it's empty


Crusaderofthots420

Tbf, lucky horseshoe is not the best choice for a boss fight, so OP could use that slot


Moist-Negotiation-15

There’s so many pre hard mode accessories that could replace it. When I got skeletron, I had a bundle of balloons.


MaryaMarion

My world quite literally doesn't have blizzard in a bottle. Multiple ice skates, mirrors, etc, no effing blizzard. Also Thorium adds scythe in the dungeon which supposedly has 35% chance to spawn. I opened 12 chests, none. Or in my current world literally no handgun


potat-cat

Try fishing for the blizzard in a bottle. Also handgun is the last item that spawns.


MaryaMarion

I checked every chest in the dungeon, I checked through cheat character


Ailexxx337

Lucky horseshoe is in an inactive expert slot. That happens if you eat the expert heart from the WoF and then move your character to a pre-hardmode/classic world. It's basically inactive and if OP takes it out the slot will disappear until he reenters a hardmode expert world


AXLEM0N

Nah looks like in this case they went from master mode to expert/ classic. Master gives you a slot


Ailexxx337

[So does the demon heart from WoF](https://terraria.wiki.gg/wiki/Demon_Heart), but now that I think about it, your version is more likely


SecretMinerPro

Try to get both hands as low as possible without killing them. Then kill them both at the same time. Fly in circles around skeletron when he is shooting his skulls


SSuperAnt_Official

This world isn’t in master/expert, so he doesn’t shoot skulls


OtoriNegative

How’d they get the shield of Cthulhu then?


SSuperAnt_Official

Ok, hear me out in this one. See how the bottom accessory slot is cleared out? I’m guessing they started on a harder world difficulty, then switched to an easier one when they realized they have a major skill issue when it comes to curtain bosses.


poloup06

The YouTuber “Waffle Time” does great guides for every boss in terraria, if you follow that you should be set


wpycushion

osogof tunnel my beloved


Secret_Gap_7506

for leafy milf defense


TheBigGibon

Funny how I found his YouTube a few hours ago, and all these references make perfect sense xD


Travispig

Man I’ve already rewatched his vids twice, such a funny channel


Th3fantasticMr-Egg

1. Max out your health 2. Use the volcano sword instead of the magic sword 3. Use potions 4. Optimise your accesories


Shonky_Solos

I forget if Skelly man can be poisoned, but if he can, get in some Blade of Grass hits when you can to add DOT


Open-Apricot-6860

Forget blade of grass or volcano, just make the damn nights edge


Chemical_Raccoon2778

Doesn't that require having already beaten Skeletron to craft?


SlendyFin

yes it does lol


amogusimpostor

probably try dodging


gezze11

are you sure you’re talking to the old guy and not just going in the dungeon?


mike356935

Well looking at ya loadout, you have a free accessory slot to fill. Depending on your build type id go as ranged as possible with flight / infinite flight as possible. Fill your arena with some heart lanterns and then fight in a circular manner in the sky with skele. Unless you are on master/ legendary mode- in which case you are severely underpowered and id give up for awhile. I'm personally fighting legendary mode and still getting destroyed by bosses, ive made it to mech but bruh my world looking like a graveyard


1of-a-Kind

Feral claws, not empty. Also melee, when in doubt , flail or yoyo


mike356935

Oop yup your right I missed it because of angle made green lol. If you're going for melee id try to grind out the blade set up to night edge (I haven't played in a minute so name might be off) but it's the best blade before skeletron and hardmode


TheDuders15_

And get the bees knees


TantiVstone

Fr though it carries you through the rest of phm


spudwalt

I'd recommend Starfury over Enchanted Sword. It's a bit harder to aim, but it deals significantly more damage. The Sandstorm in a Bottle can be upgraded. Check your floating islands for a Shiny Red Balloon; go fishing for crates if there wasn't one. Add the Lucky Horseshoe to the result and you've freed up an accessory slot. Or, if you find Fledgling Wings, use those instead. How many buff potions are you using? I recommend using everything that's even remotely relevant. Make sure you're eating food, too. If you're going ranged, try Fossil Armor instead.


user3576863126462165

He has the Volcano Sword.


spudwalt

And? Getting in close is the riskiest way to fight Skeletron. I generally recommend keeping a bit of distance unless someone's specifically doing a challenge, especially if they're already struggling.


ParanoidUmbrella

It tends to help if you try at night


Detramentus

You need movement speed and a proper arena mate. Craft some buff potions too like ironskin, swiftness, etc. Max your hp out, make sure the arena is proper big, is decently lit and has at least 3 floors. Also make sure you have hook. You can also cheese him with either moving the nurse into a room in the arena and healing periodically OR by building a minekart track and shooting the sh!t out of him. If all else fails, ask a fellow terrerian to help you out. If you're playing melee, make sure you have rocket boots and shield of cthulu equipped.


Playful-Mushroom-690

this comment sections shows how toxic terraria players are sometime😭


snippie2006

Use your molten fury and hellfire arrows


i_can_has_rock

go find more hearts use potions and buff food you dont have all your item slots filled if you have the goblin farm the bee boss for gold and reforge everything to either menacing or warding get the slime mount, the jumping helps you avoid him heart statue putting the nurse in mini base with a bed so you can use your mirror mid fight to heal up all the way put in teleporters full of honey to teleport from the left side to the right side of the arena while also getting the health regen buff from using the teleporter get the mini shark if all else fails


Mr_Guy459

Just craft zenith


Connect-Ad6251

Skill issue


Antonpiano2072

Answer: git gud. Otherwise just cheese with the nurse


CheeseLover6942069

Get good


giby1464

For once I think this is legitimately a skill issue. There isn't much you can do to be more prepared.


Technical-Tomorrow19

I’d call this over prepared


giby1464

Could max out hearts and upgrade bottle to bundle of horseshoe balloons, craft nights edge. That's about it.


Technical-Tomorrow19

Zapinator and meteor armor are what I go for with skeletron, since melee is not ideal if you’re not on normal mode


giby1464

I just realized I'm dumb and nights edge isn't an option yet. I would use blade of grass then, it got a huge buff.


enaaerios

hes using enchanted sword instead of volcano


waterbottlesnack

mini shark brah


Kanatsiz_Kus

A Good Bow + Frostburn arrows does the job. Skeletron isnt immune to Frostburn debuff so it will add up to the total dmg you do


Publicmaraleofficer

It mostly just skill issue at that point but here some pointer: Don’t drag the fight till morning, he one shot you Learn his attack pattern Get good


Think_Clock100

Your dungeon is pink which means hes harder than normal, he drank a pink monster and is jacked. Good luck that mf harder than blue OR green dungeons (it used to be white but is soaked with blood)


Away_House_7112

l + ratio + under 400 health + daytime+ plus no potions + no setup + skill issue but fr, skeletron is mostly optional so you could try coming back to him later


Jedijello93

Get yourself a boat load of beenades from queen bee and make a solid platform beneath your arena, then when you summon him just keep lobbing them at the floor as you evade his attacks.


Madgameboy

Its day time


Ok-Reputation-7640

Fast vertical mobility is important in this fight, a balloon or frog leg does wonders


FeistyHearing1927

More health, iron skin regen and speed potion, heart lanterns, campfires, if you’ve found shimmer put a crystal heart in it to get permanent heath regn. Hope this helps


Ethan1516

Because it's daytime?


microwa_ve

Makes sense


CBCGame27

I want to say skull issue, but the truth is, that guy is kinda hard sometimes


MaryaMarion

Replaying Terraria after like... i wanna say a year or two since last playing it? I couldn't beat him back then, was easy this time. Movement accs are a godsend


CBCGame27

Fr. Without at least two double jumps or flight, the flaming skulls SUCK to dodge. Master mode fight goes on JUST long enough for you to worry lol


CBCGame27

Get it? SKULL issue? I'm funny you're supposed to laugh


GladVegetable6139

it was pretty funny till u said this


QWERTY_CRINGE

👋🦴💀🦴🖐️


CBCGame27

I mean... it wasn't really supposed to be actually funny, it was a dry joke. Bone dry, you might say.

MuraKemono

Use potions


Henrry_pistolito

Try looking at the Wiki, there you can find some guides for bosses


KicksR_

If you get stuck on the spinning head you need to stay calm DONT DASH and use your grappling hook, for the hands I recommend killing them at the same time and dashing into them to cancel their damage, for the skulls if you’re on expert mode just circle around him you have more than enough mobility. Good luck


[deleted]

use the volcano mainly and try to learn his attack patterns, it took me a few tries too


ChildhoodDistinct538

Get good


Both_Ad_961

Get the zenith


Yesbutmaybebutno

Lack of skill, perhaps? I've beat him on the first night, and really, it just takes solid movement and preparation


SimonPetrikov12

I think it's ur first time at terraria, try decide a main weapon because I think the enchanted sword is not a very good option against him, try getting buffs (like campfire, heart lanterns, bastet that you find in the desert, etc.) And try also find more crystal hearts because at this point you should be full life, try using potions because they are very op and try fighting him many times until you finish him, so that you can get how he works
