Can I skip Skeletron?

Yes, you can technically skip Skeletron in Terraria for a while, but you can't skip him forever; he's a required gatekeeper for the Dungeon and the Lunatic Cultist, blocking access to valuable loot like the Mechanic, Shadow Keys, and essential late-game progression until defeated, so while you can fight him later, most players tackle him after basic pre-Hardmode preparation for easier access to powerful gear.
