@ guy one comment above me: yeah after you've found the dungeon using that method, then at nighttime, talk to the Old Man and select 'Curse'. Skeletron will be summoned, the boss music will play, yada yada yada. How I recommend defeating Skeletron is like this:

GEAR: Shadow Armor Set is preferable, if you have better armor wear that of course =)

WEAPONS: Everybody says the Sandgun or Star Cannon works great, but I defeated him with my Bow and Arrows. The minimum bow I recommend is the Demon Bow with Flaming Arrows and Jester's Arrows. If you want to gun him down, try the Minishark with Musket Balls or Meteor Shot. If you cannot afford the Minishark, then I guess it would probably just be best if you stuck with the Bow.

POTIONS: Archery Potions, Ironskin Potions , your Healing Potions , Thorns Potions are nice to have on hand too

TACTIC: Try and shoot down his arms first, as Skeletron will try and reach over and drain your health that way. After you've gotten rid of both of his hands, go for the head. Just a small warning, though, he can also spin his head around which also does considerable damage to you. You can find more tactics on this page here and here.

And to anyone who thinks I'm a traitor to this wiki because I also use the Terraria Online Wiki, then I'll let you know this is the wiki I visit more frequently I just like to see different ways I can play the game! D=<

Sorry this post is so long, but I really hope this helps! Happy Dungeon Exploring!
