Skeletons are a common sight in the massive open-world of Elden Ring. While skeletons are usually relatively easy to kill and deal with, they can quickly resurrect after defeat. Fortunately, there are a few ways to deal with skeletons in Elden Ring and finally kill them for good. If you’re not sure how to handle them, keep reading for some helpful tips!

Sacred Blade

If you’re tired of dying time again to the same annoying skeleton, try using the Sacred Blade to take them down. This melee weapon can kill them with any damage, even no magic. Here are some tips to use it effectively. Use it at all times to end this annoying enemy’s reign of terror. After you’ve reduced its HP to zero, use any weapon to kill it.

Sacred Blade – This melee weapon deals enormous damage to enemies, especially skeletons. It also pierces through armor to cause significant damage. It has a special skill that allows you to use it in combination with the Hand of Malenia. You can only equip this weapon after defeating the Fire Prelate at Fort Laiedd, located on the west coast of Mt Gelmir.

Holy Water Pot

Roped Holy Water Pot is a consumable tool in the Elder Ring game. This weapon is made from a cracked pot that is enchanted by a Golden Order incantation. You can throw it from a short rope and it will consume FP while being effective against Those Who Live in Death. It can also kill skeletons, which makes it very useful against them.

Tibia Mariner is a boss with deceptively powerful attacks and summons skeletal enemies. It teleports around the Summonwater Village, and lets you slash it. However, it will slam you into the ground occasionally. Another invasion is Anastasia, the Tarnished-Eater. She is a dreadful enemy that will try to wear you down with repeated combo attacks. Bring something to disrupt her rhythm and halt her attacks.

Avoiding heavy armor

One of the biggest mistakes you can make in Elder Ring is wearing heavy armor. The reason behind this is because heavy armor makes it easier to hit the skeleton with your spells. Fortunately, there are a couple of ways to avoid wearing heavy armor while killing skeletons. The first method is to use a weapon that can deal with light armor. Secondly, you should avoid heavy armor when fighting a boss.

The second way to avoid heavy armor in Elder Ring is to wear light armor. Although the game is an open world, skeletons still have a lot of damage. Therefore, you should wear light armor to avoid getting stomped by them. You can also switch to heavy armor before the boss fights. While there are a lot of skeletons in the game, they are only weaker if you wear light armor.

Taking down a skeleton in a pillar

Taking down a skeleton in an Elder Ring pillar is a relatively straightforward task. The key to success here is to overwhelm the Skeleton up close and strike it before it can fully resurrect. To do this, simply aim at the glowing Skeletons, strike them, and they will disintegrate into dust and ashes. Note that Skeletons do not drop any unique items, so you will need to save them before they resurrect.

This boss is also very easy to kill, though it does have some tricks. You can either use a throwing weapon to damage it, or you can run through it if you don’t feel like fighting it. If you are able to do this, you can gain 2200 Runes and summon Lhutel the Headless ashes. Taking down a skeleton in an Elder Ring pillar is an excellent way to earn a few extra gold.

Taking down a Tibia Mariner

When taking down a Tibia Mariner, you’ll want to be prepared. Though he’s not the main boss of the game, this mob spawns skeletons, so you’ll have to be prepared to deal with them. Luckily, there are several tactics you can use to get the upper hand over this mob. The first one involves teleporting. You can do this by following a purple boat until you find one. When you attack, make sure to use Torrent to dodge the skeletons that may spawn. This tactic works for all locations in the Elder Ring, so be prepared to repeat it.

You can make this fight easier by using the Torrent, and using Spirit Summons with your allies. You should also use Summon Skeletons, which summons skeletal minions over a short period of time. This ability continues to summon skeletal minions even when the Mariner is injured. You can also use Teleport to summon skeletal minions at the same time as you fight the Tibia Mariner.
