Boss Guide
Skeleton King
The final boss of Act 1 and your first real gear-check. The Skeleton King commands waves of undead minions — Skeleton Warriors and Archers — while launching devastating bone-shatter AoE attacks. His arena in the Cursed Lands is tight, leaving little room to dodge. New players often hit a wall here: if you cannot clear Normal Skeleton King, you cannot unlock the Cube system (unlocks at Lv15 after first boss kill).
Strategy: Bring a Hunter or Slayer — their single-target DPS burns the boss down before the add waves overwhelm you. Priest can work but needs a mana-heavy sustain setup. Focus adds the moment they spawn; ignored Skeleton Archers will chip you to death from range. The Torment variant (ID 10904) drops Immortal-tier materials used in early-game cube crafting — worth farming once you outgear it.
