  1. I was exploring the map to get it all rendered for when I open the map to look around and found the dungeon. I had cactus armour and decided it would be a good idea to go down. Yeah no it wasn't a good idea

  2. I just keep getting combo'd by his head taking all my health down before his second phase

    EDIT: I finally beat him. What I was missing was a wider arena and 2 arial boosts instead of 1.

  3. I wish the game warned about the Guardian. I went there, got slain. Thought "huh, cool trap, like boulders in caverns but deadlier". Expected it to be one time thing. Went in second time to pick up the money, surprise, dead again. This was before i learned to store coins in piggybank. Rip most of my early game funds.

  4. Do you have any tips for when you're caught in the spining head of death? xD I always manage to get caught in it and it ultimately ends up killing me. Like, the pots and everything are great, I take out the hands no problem, the problem itself is the dang head. My boots and double jumps fail me as well, so maybe it's just a skill issue. xD

  5. Oh My! Thank you for making this expert guide! It was My first time beating skeletron in Expert😂! Skeletron was a PAIN! And all of you guessed it…. i was unprepared…..

  6. Im having trouble defeating him on pc in expert mod although i have enough gear to skip him and go to the wall of flesh but i cant defeat him
    Im getting him to half his health and dying can some ine give me some tips
    Im using that bow made of hell stone- nights edge(got muramasa from anither world) full hellstone armor some good mana weapons that have 30+damage that gun we get from crimson and the wip made from jungle spores and vines
    Good gear but im getting him to half his health and i cant dodge him anymore

  7. What I hate about the dungeon guardian is that there was no warning. No danger sign, no warning text, not even a poem. I had to learn about it's existence the hard way, and I lost all my stuff.

  8. FINALLY A RELATABLE GUIDE
    (Subbed)

    Update: I was going towards Skeletron knowing I would lose for the like 7th time, strolling through the corruption, then my gravity randomly flipped, I ended up on a sky island, found a Starfury, and easily beat Skeletron. Now I’m finally advancing again. I love this game.
