Skeleton King is a powerful boss in Diablo 3, very hard for players, especially for new players. He is in fact King Leoric, bound once again to the mortal realm. Other than this small piece of information, nothing has been revealed about him.

Skeleton King boss - has like 3 moves

---Summon skeletons, your templar should tank most of these and let you kill them leisurely when there are too many, otherwise ignore them

---Skelton king teleports on top of you, just run away while hes swinging

---Skeleton king is near you and charges up, then dashes forward to damage you, when hes charging just move away or left right.


Pretty easy as a ranged, you can just kite him in a circle and easily kill him with taking very little damage. As a melee you need to jump in dps, and move away I'd imagine. The follows will tell players how to defeat Skeleton King

1.You should have opened the Templar up on the way to Skeleton King. If you are playing single player then you can hire him.

2.Avoiding his attacks are pretty simple because he is pretty slow. When he swings just get out of the way.

3.After a bit he will start to summon the skeletons. Use them to heal if need be or let him kill them himself. His wide arc attack can bring down a couple of skeletons at a time.

4.Keep avoiding his attacks and using the CC to counter him when you can.

5.At about 30% he will start to use the anti CC move and move at you more often. Try to avoid them when you can but expect a hit or two here. use the skeletons he keeps bringing up to heal.

6.Keep yourself out of his axe and keep hurting him until he drops. He really isn’t to hard.

7.Take your time and kill off his minions that he summons. They will almost always drop health globes. If you are at full health don't pick them up. The globes seem to last between 30 seconds and one minute. Use them when you need them. He also can be frozen, blinded and stunned so use them. Its not to hard for a character at level 8 or 9 to beat him if you follow that strategy. Also DODGE his big wind up attack, its telegraphed like crazy so you should see it coming.
