Skeletons

Visitors to the Hollows are quickly introduced to the many forms of Skeletons that call the region home. Often animating from piles of bones, these rattling, shambling horrors attack en masse, with their numbers rivaling those of the Nether’s many insects.

Though the most common form of Skeleton is the unarmed, naked Skeleton, most pose a far more significant threat. It’s natural to have your focus drawn to the Skeleton Sword and Armored Skeleton, but it’s important to listen for the sound of a Skeleton Archer letting an arrow fly. Dash across the battlefield to the Skeleton Archer and dispatch it quickly. Though its green-glowing arrows may not be terribly dangerous, Fury can’t afford to have it interrupting her attack when she’s surrounded by other enemies.

The Gravel Grinder and other area-of-effect attacks are quite useful for shattering the bones of the Skeletons and knocking back the armored foes, but dealing with the Armored Skeleton takes patience and variety. Mix up attacks by incorporating crossover attacks, such as the Flicker or Spark, to break through its defenses. The Armored Skeleton is quite capable of blocking attacks indefinitely if Fury doesn’t mix up her approach.

The Skeleton Sword may swing its sword in a slow, looping arc at close range, but it can also perform a jumping overhand attack that inflicts moderate damage. Similarly, the Armored Skeleton also poses a threat from afar thanks to its ability to throw its sword. This particular foe also appears sporadically in an enhanced version. The Enraged Skeleton has a glowing torso and packs the biggest punch of all Skeletons. Beware the charged overhand slam, as it inflicts heavy Arcane damage. Like the Black Minion and Black Sycophant, the Enraged Skeleton is a rare entity that won’t respawn once slain.
