The Mechanical Skull is a Hardmode boss-summoning item used to summon Skeletron Prime, the Hardmode version of Skeletron. It can only be used at night; attempting to use this item during the day will not spawn Skeletron Prime nor consume the item.
The head is the only segment that must be destroyed to defeat Skeletron, though each hand alive will give the head maximum damage reduction, and while either is still alive, the head will not be targeted by summons or homing weapons. Its attack frequency will gradually increase as its health lowers.
The Skull is a rare vanity item that has a 1/500 (0.2%) chance of being dropped by Skeletons and Spore Skeletons, which are found in the Cavern layer, or a 1/2500 (0.04%) chance by those spawned from a Skeleton Statue or a Bone Skeleton Statue. Trivia. If one equips the Skull and the Robe, the player will strongly resemble a Dark Caster.
Skeletron Despawning. 🪲Bug Report🪲. Not sure if this is a bug or what... but, like any noob, I once attempted to fight Skeletron far too early, with a terrible arena and insufficient gear, getting the "Please... you'll only get yourself killed..."
The Calamity Mod is a large content mod for Terraria which adds many hours of endgame content and dozens of enemies and challenges dispersed throughout the vanilla game's progression.
I'm currently doing a playthrough with about 2 other friends in Revengeance mode. Regular Skeletron was a cake walk, i believe we had the Hellstone armor at the time of fighting time. Use some swiftness potions, gain distance, and use piercing projectiles to murder the arms.
for the fourth attack where skeletron shoots a bunch of skulls by swiping his hand, run away and primarily move horizontally to weave in between the skulls. if you are true melee, you can get close enough to skeletron when he repeats this attacks and he won't shoot out the skulls for a second time.
