How to kill skeletons?

[chakkman]

Ok, quick question, probably easily answered, but i can't find anything about it in the forum search... how do i permanently get rid of the skeletons? I tried with holy water arrows, blackjacking and sword, but none of those seem to work. So i wonder if i can get rid of them at all. Hope somebody can help me..

Holy water will kill skeletons, and you can kill them with the sword as well (though it takes a while). Fire arrows and mines will also do the trick.

I've been able to defeat them with the sword. They just take many hits before dying. I thought that holy water arrows worked too, but maybe I'm remembering wrong. Fire arrows should do the trick also.

Thanks! I'll try the holy water again then, although it didn't seem to work when i tried (i shot like 3 arrows, then i was attacked). Just picked up a fire arrow too, so that should work as well.

 

Edit: Ok, so i just figured that the armored skeletons are harder to kill than zombies. They can take up to 5 or 6 water arrows (couldn't try more as it went after me lol...) and 2 fire arrows to kill. A mine kills them instantly though.

If you're talking about revenants, yes, they take a lot to kill.

Alright. Didn't know that was the correct term for them. Finally managed to kill one with 6 water arrows i think, while being in a place where he couldn't get to me.

You can kill them with less but you have to hit areas not covered by armour.

They go down fairly quickly if you can hit the head. That goes for most other opponents too.

Aah... seems i have a lot to learn still after 20+ missions lol. Nice that hitzones like that are implemented too, i had no idea. It just gets better and better.
