The Dungeon Guardian's Bestiary entry will automatically fill itself out if Skeletron is defeated. While killing a Dungeon Guardian is possible (and will award the Bone Key pet summon), it requires careful preparation.


This means that the Dungeon Guardian will normally take an average of 1.04 damage. Dungeon Guardians are large, very fast (traveling at around 41 mph in all directions), and travel through all blocks.Īny player who attacks a Dungeon Guardian, regardless of the weapon or other equipment (with very few exceptions), will deal only 1 damage, or 2 for critical hits. If a player enters the Dungeon in a world where Skeletron has not been defeated and travels below zero depth (a horizontal invisible border separating the surface from the underground), one or more Dungeon Guardians quickly fly at the player, dealing 1000 / 2000 / 3000 damage each, which will instantly kill most players if they are unprepared. The Dungeon Guardian is an enemy resembling Skeletron's head that guards the Dungeon against intruders. For strategies on defeating Dungeon Guardians, see Guide:Dungeon Guardian strategies.
