A good way to handle skeletron is to flatten the land around the dungeon entrance so you have a flat battle area, also light it up to help with sight as well as lower rate of spawning monsters. make sure to make soup, and have lots of potions (reccomend adding them to your arrow pad hotbar) A gold bow and some unholy arrows should help, make sure you have good jump like cloud in a bottle, or red balloon, and dont worry about the gravity potions, it just makes things harder. Iron skin is a MUST for first time skeletron.
