Help with Skeleton Warriors

[James Salyer]

could someone please tell me a way to kill the skeleton warriors in the
maze. I've hit em with everything and still can't get by em.

[mad...@my-deja.com]

Which maze is this?
Is it Ulcaster dungeon, Gullykin/Firewine bridge etc?
Also what are the names of the skeletal warriors attacking you. You can
get this by pausing the game, moving the cursor over them and waiting a
few seconds for a name tag to pop up.

thanks

Iain

SW's are virtually immune to all magic. So, after casting Sanctuary,
set your cleric in front of them to block their passage. The SW's (and
all other beasties for that matter) will ignore her/him. Then pummel
them with ranged weapons. Have an extra Sanctuary spell handy in case
the first one expires. :(

Good luck.

What (finally) worked for me, is to get my thief to lure
them
around the corner, one at a time, where the rest of the
party
stands ready with blunt weapons (Flame Blade works well,
too).

Careful with the traps there. Move slowly with Detect Traps
on.
1) You see a trap first.
If you see a trap, hide in shadows, and approach it
while hidden.
When you're next to the trap, probably a Skeletal
Warrior will
have come in view. Never mind him: quickly disarm the
trap,
run back around the corner, return to the shadows and
assume
backstab stance. When the Warrior comes around, hit him
with
everything you've got.
2) You see a Skeletal Warrior first.
Warm him up with a backstab, run away, proceed as above.
Take care to lure only one Warrior at a time.

Make sure your thief is wearing the boots of speed and all
items
that improve AC vs. Missiles.
Don't forget about Bless, Chant, Haste, Prot: Evil 10', etc.
Since you're luring, Glyph of Warding and Skull Trap might
work, too.

Good luck,

James

I used the traps on them. Someone invisible, hasted, wearing boots of
grounding, and overprotected against fire and lightning just ran down
the corridor at them. The traps took one out, and bent the other one,
and then I followed up with a mass charge waving +3 scimitars, magic
missile, etc.

I assumed he meant the maze under the thieves guild, just before the
grand finale. The Skeleton warrior at Firewine is a pussycat (he wants
to die anyway, and his armour is in sad shape 8>.). I don't recall one
in Ulcaster..

My tactic was this: put all your best anti-missile protection (e.g. boots of
avoidance, cloak of displacement, large shield +1/+4 vs. missiles, etc.)
plus the ring of fire protection on one warrior, and have him go first, with
a thief right behind him to detect and disarm the traps. The SWs will attack
the warrior, but won't hit him except on a critical hit (in my game, he was
hit only once). Meanwhile have the rest of your party, powered-up with
Bless, Chant and Haste, advance behind the first two, firing arrows and
slings at the skeletons, and just wait until they wear them down. Don't let
any of your guys get within melee range of the SWs.

my second time through, i found the easiest way yet. if you have tosc,
cast protect from lightning on one of your guys. have that guy just
walk through the three lightning traps.

for some reason skeleton warriors are not immune to the lightning. they
did not survive the 3 bouncing bolts.

without tosc, cast mirror image on a mage and do the same. have two
prepared, so when all your images disappera you can cast it again.
