Carthus Swordsman Skeleton | Dark Souls 3 Wiki

sometimes when I kill them, one part of their remains just keeps spinning around endlessly on the ground

Submit

bullshit

Submit

I can confirm that, regardless of rarity, all of them can drop a large titanite shard, not only the ones near the ballista.

Submit

Just make a blessed club and with every hit they break, fight them 1v1 and enjoy

Submit

These fight as the Lone Shadows and Lady Butterfly from sekiro, has very similar moveset and tempo.

Submit

these guys are badass

Submit

Corvian Knights but they're spooky

Submit

They wear some beautiful jewellery

Submit

Wrath of the Gods knocks them down every time and deals massive damage. So if you are going to farm these, try it out.

Submit

I love how they flop around when you hit them

Submit

favorite enemies even though they were infuriating on my first playthrough

Submit

I came here hoping I could farm their attire but no :(

Submit

If you're struggling with the ones at Smouldering Lake right before the Crossbows, just running past them works fine. Their aggro range is very limited.

Submit

White Eyed one in Carthus Catacombs after the bonfire through the illusion wall rarely Drops Large Titanite Shard as well.

Submit

When others said "use strike weapon", so i used Fist/Caestus.. punching him in fury, and... the screen get darker, with 2 red big words..

Submit

you can kill them easily with a mace, (blessed if you want to kill the white eyed bastard and cancel his res entirely) They get knocked down very easily and you can chain it.

Submit

But their hood is SO COOL! I want it so badly.

Submit

GG EZPZ! Blunt weapons always knock them down.

Submit

These are harder than half of the bosses in this game

Ladies and gentleman, thr Cazadors of Dark Souls.

Submit

Those Shotel Skeletons...always remind me why I disliked Dark Souls 3s Bloodborne-esque gameplay. So obnoxious.

Submit

were you taking to me

Submit

is dark souls remastered dark souls 2?

Submit

do you know that it is rare for the sword

Submit

i am new

Submit

Even when using a Cheat Table to get 100% drop rate, it doesn't even guarantee vertebra shackles, which sucks as I'm trying to get Bloodlust without PvPing

Submit

Scythes knock these guys down in one hit. Arguably one of the best weapons to use against them.

Submit

Resistant to fire and weak to frost! Strange undeads.

Submit

to farm vertable shackles. the two in the catacombs of carthus (first bonfire). two hand a curved sword (I have a dark infused painted guardian sword - so no strike) and cast iron flesh with lingering dragoncrest ring. I don't use pyro (I could) but somehow I get more shackles in close combats. they go down in seconds. iron flesh makes and a fast 2-hand weapon like painted guardian sword (any infusion) and it's done in 3 secs. problem: vertable shackle drop rate 1 %!!!!! got damit from

Submit

Use a strike weapon such as a mace and the catacombs is an easy stroll. Not sure about other strike weapons, but the mace knocks these guys down usually in one blow and you can easily finish them while they are down in a few swings.

Submit

I hate these piece of***** enemies

Submit

They also drop carthus shield....

Submit

The Fume Ultra Greatsword works great against them. The normal attack knocks them down & the follow-up swing while they're down finishes them off, plus it swings through their hits without being interrupted (usually). Once I upgraded the sword to +5, it kills them in one hit.

Submit

easily parriable

Submit

A single swing of a scythe will break them apart. Rinse and repeat until dead.

Submit

Double-jumps in circles throwing triple projectiles and trying to one-shot you with a curved sword. Genji: Skeleton Edition.

Submit

I once saw a player do one of the jumps that these skeletons do, and even threw the three kukri while he did it. Was he hacking? Or is doing that flip entirely possible?

Submit

they are annoying yes, but STRIKE weapons will make that area a walk in the park. any strike weapon will do against any skeleton

Submit

The annoyance is real with these ones. They are so incredibly agile, it's hard to hit them when they keep jumping with my Dex build.

Submit

Personally I enjoy annihilating them. The majority of those skeletons can be semi-snuck up upon as there's a pillar covering you from their sight or similar scenarios in the catacombs. Get into their face, literally. Walk up close and then start ruining those guys. They stagger very easily against larger weapons.

Submit

What's the best way to farm these guys? Warmth is the last pyromancy I need and i don't really like PvP.

Submit

Hit them with a mace. From what I can tell, it doesn't matter if it's just a standard mace or a mace +10, they crumple to the floor in one hit.

Submit

If you're having trouble and you have the stats try using the Executioners Greatsword, you'll be swimming in titanite shards once you finish the catacombs so upgrade it to +3 for some easy farming on NG.

Submit

Just wasted like 3 estus flasks on one of these guys. And I died anyway. No obvious weaknesses from what I can see. What the hell...

Submit

Ridiculously agile, hits hard and often, easily causes bleed, and gives no *****s about your shield. Easily one of the worst enemies to face in this game.
