Skeletron won't spawn!

[LuxQSD]

I am trying to get the Skeletron Trophy, but Skeletron won't spawn after i kill the clothier. I have the voodoo doll equipt and when i kill the clothier it just says "Skeletron has awoken!". Boss music starts playing for about 5 seconds and it just turns in to regular night music. I was able to summon him once before the recent monster banner update. Can anyone confirm this?

How many times have you tried? I havn't tried since the most recent update but I had this same problem in my mp world and it seemed to just be a bug that despawned him. I tried again a little while later (worst part about this summoning method since you have to wait for the clothier to get back and then it turn night again) and it worked just fine.

I have no idea why it didn't work the first time I tried as I had used the dusk server command to make sure it would be night when I summoned him too so it couldn't have been daylight that screwed it up. All I can say is give it another try and see what happens. It might help to quit out and come back too.

Same thing was happening to me, even before the recent patch. Once in a while he just didn't come, I suggest you stand completely still after you kill the clothier and wait for the boss to come close to you...he might despawn when you move too far from him, not sure though.

I have tried 2 times in 2 nights and i was standing still.

I noticed he came from underground when i summoned him the first time. Should i go down and try to intercept him when i kill the clothier?

Try throwing the voodoo doll in lava in the underworld and waiting for him there?

I think that only works for Wall of Flesh. Correct me if i'm wrong.

I've never tried it but yeah, i'm pretty sure that doesn't work with the clothier voodoo doll. You've seen that your method is in fact triggering the skeletron spawn, the problem is that it doesn't stick around. I'm not sure what to say about that though other than that I think the spawn method is garbage and should be changed somehow. At least let us kill the clothier directly so I don't need some stupid trap to do it...

He's definitely bugged. He's getting stuck on something, somewhere, offscreen and there seems to be little you can do about it. I relocated the Clothier to a house away from my base and put him right next to the dungeon, and it still happened. But not always. So just stash him in a house away from your base, and try fighting him once a night until it works. Its a pain, but not much you can do about it.

Thanks for the comments guys! Let's just hope they fix this.
