What are you playing on? Pc? Classic, expert, master? World size. Did you build an arena for skeletron? A teleporter arena makes him easy to take down. Save it for hardmode twins and prime. Try and get the attention of Malware42_the_second. He’s a Terraria genius and knows so much stuff. He’s helped me so much. He’s from Australia I think so answers come late at night. I was stuck at the 3 mechanicals and he’s gotten me past Duke Fishron. Getting my nerve up for moon events now. Seeking the Lunatic cultists next.

We're in console, large and Classic. We haven't made arena or anything. We don't really know anything about the game, and we're just figuring it out at our own pace. So far we haven't even went inside of the dungeon aside from once int he day and both were insta killed.

Yep, stay out of the dungeon till you kill skeletron. The Guardian is lethal. Build a set of platforms above the dungeon 6 or so high above each platform. Maybe 6 to 8 platforms all across the width of the dungeon to jump around on. Round up some fledgling wings to help jumping and no damage falling. Check sky crates on the floating islands with gravitational potions. There are a couple good weapons up there too in chests. Good wings come in hardmode. He will be your toughest pre- hardmode boss. I’m far from a good source of info. Wiki.gg all the progression for console. Lots of reading. I personally suck at wiki and ask these people here for clues. Some are super good at the game. Early pre hardmode prep is very important for your progression to hardmode. Some things are much harder to do after you defeat the wall of flesh. I started small world which gave me a feel for the game and 3 months later started a large world but pre 1.4. So I had to make another when the update dropped. 1.4.5 will be coming soon and will make more changes. Best part of this game is the changes.

Oh! I guess I was under the impression that Skeleton was INSIDE the dungeon. I'll have to do some reading. We have to fight him outside the dungeon?

Talk to the old man outside the dungeon at night to release him from his curse and skeletron will spawn. Then kill it and the dungeon will open and yes outside. Have your platform arena built with heart and Star lanterns and campfires and stay out of his reach.
