Boss Fight
The boss fight is split into four phases. (Five phases in Master Mode.) Necron teams up with three other Withers Maxor, Storm and Goldor. Each Wither will be a boss for a phase that must be killed individually for each phase.

Necron has and 300. He sometimes has a shield surrounding him which protects him from all attacks.

In all parts of the boss fight, lava damages the player for 20% of their max health, as well as launching them upwards. When being launched by lava, the player has an unknown chance to launch much higher than usual.

Phase 1
Maxor's fight begins in a factory-like arena. Once the fight begins, large numbers of Wither Miners and Guards appear in the arena. Players must retrieve two Energy Crystals from high ledges and place them on the podiums at the sides of the arena. This activates a laser at the back of the arena, which Maxor must be lured into. This process must be done at least twice. The first time Maxor is in the laser, he will instantly lose 2/3 of his health. The second, Maxor loses all and becomes vulnerable for a short time. Once Maxor dies, the players will progress into the next phase.

Phase 2
The factory's second layer is exposed. Storm will now fight instead of Maxor. This layer comprises a large hall; a main platform with 4 diorite crushers, an outer ring with control pads for the crushers in the corner, and a ring of lava in between. Wither Miners and Withermancers cover the area, with Wither Guards located on raised platforms. One Shadow Assassin guards each control pad. Storm will occasionally start a countdown, after which lightning will strike anywhere that is not under a crusher and insta-kill players who are not hiding under a crusher.

Standing on the control pads raises and lowers the corresponding crusher (except the red crusher, which is broken). When Storm is crushed underneath one of them, he will be stunned and become vulnerable for 10 seconds. After this, he will enter an enraged state.

The next phase will begin when Storm has been crushed under three pillars (purple, green and yellow), or he is killed (whichever is first). You must crush Storm at least twice.

Phase 3
Storm will destroy the broken red crusher with a beam, breaking the red pad below and revealing the third layer and the next boss: Goldor. Players must jump down into the third layer; the beam can target players, dealing damage and knockback. After a short while, Goldor will follow the players in at a slow and steady pace while throwing his Greatswords.

The third layer comprises four sections with three gates between them. Within each section, there are four Terminals, two levers and one device, which must all be completed, except the second section, which has five terminals. These terminals are located on the walls, with lava on the floor and floating platforms connecting them. There are also some TNT traps hanging on top of each section. They will detonate if hit by Goldor's Greatsword. After everything is completed within one section, there is a five-second delay before the gate opens, and players can proceed to the next section.

In this section, Goldor cannot be harmed. His frenzy now deals extremely high damage. After Goldor passes a section, it starts to destroy itself with explosions that harm any remaining players. Dealing damage to Goldor slows him down.

After completing all Terminals, Goldor becomes surrounded by swords to block player's attacks and launch Wither Skulls at a fast rate. Once Goldor dies, the players will progress into the next phase.

Phase 4
The trapdoor in the core entrance will open after Goldor was defeated and as the players were about to reach the bottom layer of the factory, Necron hovers the players in the air over a platform surrounded by a ring of lava. He destroys the platform beneath the players and released them into the lava.

At some point, he will teleport to the center platform and blind the players and begin a frenzy attack which deals even higher amounts of damage. The radius of this frenzy increases over time and decreases with damage dealt. When it reaches 0, Necron will destroy a section of the outer ring and then resume attacking the players. This takes 10 seconds. This repeats at 5% health.

The fight finishes when Necron reaches 0 health.

Necron has several attacks.
 * The most common is a barrage of wither skulls launched from each of his three heads. They do high damage and are fired rapidly, as well as dealing large . They fire faster when Necron is enraged.
 * He enters a frenzy where explosions are centered on him, dealing extremely high amounts of damage to any player who gets close.
 * When enraged and targeting a player, he can rarely use Shadow Wave and Shadow Explosion abilities. These deal low damage but push the player away.
 * Occasionally he will spawn Necron's Apostles to fight players.

Phase 5 (Master Mode Only)
When Necron reaches 0 health, the core's center will lift, revealing the bottom. At the bottom lies the Wither King. Throughout the fight, five dragon statues are holding an orb. All of these orbs must be brought to the center of the arena. Once all orbs have been placed, the dragons would start spawning. Each dragon has a special ability. To end the fight, all dragons must be killed near their corresponding colored statues at the right time. If all five dragons at any point are alive at the same time, they will complete a ritual and summon a large hand that grabs the players, causing them to fail the dungeon run.

Trivia

 * Necron smote and killed The Professor, as shown at the end of The Catacombs - Floor III boss fight.
 * If Storm touches the crusher as it is moving, it is possible to trigger a crush. This is known as an "up-crush" as it is usually performed when the crusher initially moves up.
 * If the player activated the ability of Spider's Boots, Tarantula Boots or Spirit Boots at the right time when entering the boss room, they would gain permanent creative flight. This flight would wear off on death. This has since been patched.
 * The Shadow Assassins in the 2nd phase of the boss fight only grant 6 base XP, unlike all other Shadow Assassins which grant 115-165 XP.
 * One of his quotes "YOU MERELY ADOPTED THE CATACOMBS, I WAS MOLDED BY THEM!" is a reference from the film The Dark Knight Rises.
 * This line is also used by Paul when he is a candidate for the mayor election.
 * Necron, Storm, Goldor and Dante are the only mobs who can destroy constructions.
 * Necron along with the other Withers has the most phases in a dungeon floor at 4 (5 in Master Mode), with The Professor and Sadan having 3, Bonzo and Scarf having 2, and Livid and Thorn only having one.
 * Necron's dialogue line "NOT JUST YOUR VILLAGE, BUT THE WHOLE WORLD WILL END!" implies there are more Villages in the SkyBlock universe than just the Hub Village.
 * This line is also similar to the dialogue line of Dante just before he was defeated in The Uprising saying "THE WORLD WILL END", showing that Necron and Dante are similar, in that they both have knowledge of a world that extends beyond the one we know as SkyBlock.
 * Examples of other villages include the Dwarven Village and the Desert Settlement.
 * The "HASTA LA VISTA, BABY!" quote is a reference to "The Terminator 2" and its subsequent sequels, where that catchphrase is referenced.
