Black Knife Catacombs

Pls, how to kill skeletons? They keep coming back to life

[River Victor]

Hit the bones when they're down and glow. If that doesn't work, some catacombs have summoners. Kill them.

[kloudici]

So it will probably be the summoners, thank you very much. I hope I can do it :D

You can use a weapon that has the Ash of War Sacred Blade on it. There are some weapons that will destroy them like the Inseparable Sword which you probably don't have yet. Holy Water pots destroy them, but you must kill the Necromancer who is summoning them. He should be close by.

[kloudici]

I'll see if I have that weapon, if I don't, I'll look for the Necromancer. Thanks for the advice.

sacred type damage will kill them as well, either use that or attack when they are down

[Tregarde]

Use a weapon with Holy damage. Skeletons go down and don't come back up. No need to hit the bones.

(doesn't seem to work with every holy weapon, so experiment)

Weapons that have innate holy damage will kill the normal skeletons with no reanimation. Weapons with holy added by attunement of sacred ash of war wont unless the ash of war grants bonus holy damage and is active (such as sacred blade)

In the Blackknife Catacombs are these Enemy's that carry these blackflame torch sticks.
Those are Necromancer/Summoners that keep the Skeletons(they have black flames flickering around thier torso area) alive.
So you need to kill the Summoners to kill the Skeletons.

There are a few Skeletons without a Summoner.
You need to kill them(knock them down) and deliver a Finishing Strike( Hit them again) once they are down.

Thanks. I needed to know that. I'm going to go get them :D

[kloudici]

Thanks everyone for the advice, solved :)
