• Skeleton footman: He does a sweep slash and an overhead slash. Wait for him to attack, then hit him after he’s done.
• Skeleton guardsman: He does an overhead slash. Wait for him to attack, then hit him. Don’t attack his shield or he will fight back.
• Skeleton axeman: He does an overhead slash. Walk to your left around him and hit him after he attacks. Stay close so he doesn’t do a side slash.
• Skeleton spearman: He pokes forward, slashes to the side, and slashes overhead. You can walk around him to the right to avoid his attacks.
• Skeleton swordsman: He does a side slash. Crouch under it or wait for him to attack, then hit him. If he slashes from your left, he will do a second slash.
