Talk:Skeletron Prime

Proof of instant death under 5000hp?
From soloing Skeletron Prime I've never encountered him killing me instantly when his health was below 5000. Does it happen when there's more than one person fighting him, or is this just misinformation?
 * It happens when the sun rises automatically, just like skeletron

Videos of people fighting the boss
Am I the only one who find these unnecessary? This might be ok on a guide page, but I don't think it is appropriate for the main article. These videos are typically very long, not terribly interesting to watch and don't really demonstrate anything that can be explained in text. --GauHelldragon 03:01, 10 December 2011 (UTC)

Damage Stats right?
It lists his 'death laser' damage and bomb damage as around 30, yet a full set of adamantine armor should be negating 24 of that, 28 with ironskin potion. But clearly those attacks are actually inflicting more damage than that in game.

I think some of these are wrong.


 * The bomb damage is listed as 40, which may account for 10 of the missing damage right there. Additionally, are you wearing the right head armor? If it's not the melee Helmet, you may have estimated your defense too high and, therefore, take more damage than expected. -- TechpriestMagos 22:44, 19 December 2011 (UTC)

Reference to fallout
I think skeleton prime might be a reference to a fallout robot, called 'liberty prime'. The main reason i tought about this was because of a falllout 3 texture pack where skeletron would be liberty prime or such. --Miauw62 18:45, 23 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Even then, Liberty Prime would be a reference to Optimus Prime. The Lead Designer of Fallout 3 stated that the name Liberty Prime could have been subconsciously influenced by Optimus Prime.
