He's a rare spawn, you can only keep trying.

Doctor Bones (jones) is a very rare underground jungle enemy, only spawning in on rare occasions. I have been playing terraria for months, and only found him ONCE in PRE-HARDMODE

Don't give up!

He only spawns when it's raining inna jungle.


As far as I know.

He spawns on both surface and underground jungle.
The easiest way to get him to spawn is to build a dedicated arena in the surface jungle: flatten the ground and add some water candles (one is enough but more will allow you to move left and right without losing the buff in case some spawns are stuck underground) and come at night during a blood moon with some battle potions.
If you have the lava walkers accessory add one depth/ten width pits filled with one bucket of lava each to speed up the process (if you're looking for the hat throw a copper coin in the lava to make sure it's not deep enough to destroy it).

Beyond that it's all about luck.

I'm having the exact same problem. My strategy is battle potions and water candles, I use the cell phone to see when there's a rare creature and the zenith to kill everything around me when I see a rare creature.
