summoned skeletron on accident

[The dynamite fisherman]

yeah so i summend skeletron accidently by curseing the old man infront of the fortrtess skeletron lives in and i was brutally mudered so it would be nice if someone would tell me if he is going to hunt me down and what stuff at a minimum i need in order to beat him.

You should beat the other three bosses and get their loot as the first step. Second if day comes before the fight ends Skeletron goes crazy and can one hit kill you. Skeletron is one of the last things you should face before fighting the Wall of Flesh in the underworld and going to Hardmode so good gear is needed.

[Stardust]

Get a GOOD gun, demonite armor and you're ready. Skeletron isn't really that hard.

ok thanks something else what other three bosses should i fight right now i can summon an eye of chithulu or something like that

[Norexus]

Get a mini shark with silver bullets (if you can) and demonite armor. Also, bring health potions. The first time I beat skeletron, I already had a firery greatsword, so I SUCKED.

Eye of Cthulhu, Eater of Worlds (only if your world has Corruption), Brain of Cthulhu (this boss replaces Eater of Worlds in worlds with Crimson), and Queen Bee.

Eye of Cthulhu is not hard to beat with items made from common ores. Eater of Worlds/Brain of Cthulhu are a gateway boss. You have to beat them to get an item to forge better armour and a pickaxe to mine the best pre-hardmode ores. Queen Bee offer some nice gear, but can be skipped since you don't need to beat it to get farther (I wouldn't skip her since that gear is easy to find compared to other options thus making things go faster).

There's another boss know as King Slime which is little more than an oversized blue slime. It's more of a mini-boss since there's a very slim chance it can attack in some areas of the map, it's very easy if you perpare for it, and it offers little useful loot.

If you can't get a gun such as the Minishark, then make the Demon bow, and I suggest that you bring gernades if you can. They do a nice ammount of damage, and if you run low on potions they can be extremely useful. Just be careful when you use them.

[Zemecon]

Minishark with 700+ musket balls (both can be bought right from the start), silver armor or better, and one or two healing potions. That's it. And don't waste time attacking the arms because you will need most of that time to evade his attacks.

Take your time. Use Shadow/Crimson armor to absorb some of the damage (you still need to dodge to avoid most damage). Build a 3-5 layer platform arena with a campfire or heart lantern.
Get a Minishark (if available) with 999+ meteor shot for ammo (to stop his hands from blocking).
If you can't get a minishark, go for a molten fury (hellstone bow), this will make the fight very easy. For magic, use a diamond staff (a few of the lower tiers will probably work) or, preferably, a water bolt. During the fight, focus fire on his head during the entire fight. When it starts spinning, hit it as much as possible, because his defense is 0 during this phase. Dodge his hands throughout and monitor your health and you should be good.

The old man at the dungeon will respawn if you fail to kill skeletron. When you kill him, the old man will move into your town. Meteor armor with a Space Gun or Jungle armor with a Water Bolt works great for a caster. You can use the Demon Bow, the Tendon bow, or a Molten Fury to kill skeletron, too. Even a Minishark or an Ice Blade will work if you are good at aiming. If you don't have access to at least Tungsten or Silver armor or any of these weapons, you can use throwing weapons such as throwing knives and shurikens. If you have defeated BoC/EoW, then I suggest that you use the biome corresponding armor or Molten armor.
