Help me find the Skeleton merchant

[Tazor]

I know this has been asked several times. I have found him several times in pre hard mode but not even once in hard mode. I need the yoyo glove.

I have tried battle potions, hunter potions, water candles, created a horizontal tunnel several screens wide, expanded the mushroom biome with more mud platforms. Nothing works.

I have a U shaped farm area with 2 mushroom biomes at the tip of the U. The base of the U is made of a combination of hallow, normal and crimson. I keep running around this U with all the buffs on me but he never spawns.

I need help to spawn him please.

no need for any of the biomes you made.
I recommend you turn where you want him to spawn into a farming area. seal off all spawn locations near you (and I really mean all) with either lava or blocks, then make one space where things can spawn. summon a couple strong minions and wait until things stop spawning, that means the merchant arrived.

Sitting in a spot with battle and hunter potions killing everything worked. He spawned 3 times in about15 minutes. There were so many creeps he got killed twice and finally I got the yoyo glove the 3rd time.
