The first chapter of the new Tales questline added to BTD6 in the v51 update (November 2025) is Oh No! Skeletor! – Skeletor Arrives. Despite the dramatic name, this stage is very simple to complete. Even better: you don’t need any Monkey Knowledge or hero abilities other than Obyn’s basic kit. This makes it a perfect entry-level tale for all players, including beginners and fresh accounts.
How to Complete “Skeletor Arrives”
Above is the video walkthrough where I demonstrate the exact steps to clear Skeletor Arrives effortlessly on the first try. To beat this first chapter, all you need to do is place Obyn and wait for his Brambles ability to become available.
- Activate Brambles as soon as it lights up.
- Watch the bloons walk straight into the thorns.
- That’s all — instant success.
The quest is intentionally simple, serving as a fun introduction to the Skeletor-themed storyline brought in with the Masters of the Universe crossover.
This chapter ensures everyone can participate in the event: no MK, no special micro, no power items, no gimmicks — just a quick and easy completion.
Chapter one of Oh No! Skeletor! is a short, straightforward quest that introduces the new tale and its theme. With just Obyn’s Brambles, you’ll clear it in seconds and move on to the more interesting chapters that follow. Enjoy the story and good luck completing the rest of the Skeletor saga!
