Talk:Skeletron/@comment-5100494-20120527141957

One way to get rid of his arms and his head (when skeletron is left with only the head) is to dig out one block by 5 block ditches by the dungeon door, then put about 25 spiky balls in each of the ditches. Put a ditch about 2x6 so that your character can go in on each of the ends. When the hands go for you, jump as high as you can (without hitting the head) and the hands will hit the spiky balls. When only the head is left, hit it as many times as you can with for example a harpoon, a flamarang, or some kind of a ranged weapon by one of the edges. When his head starts to spin, go quickly towards the other edge, then skeletron will go through the spiky balls and take enormous amount of damage without you having to hit it so many times. I hope this comment helps people out :) this is what I did to defeat skeletron except I had a godly enchanted boomerang.
