Spawn Behavior

In Der Eisendrache, Skeletons spawn as the dominant enemy in the My Brother's Keeper main quest boss fight. In Ancient Evil, these skeletons are known as Spartoi and spawn once you activate the Sentinel Artifact. These Spartoi will not be killed if the final blow is not a headshot; they will instead crumble to the ground and reconstruct up to two times before actually dying.

Combat Strategy

In Der Eisendrache, these skeletons are truly no different than the regular Zombie and can be treated as such, maintaining distance and mowing them down, with headshots providing extra damage. In Ancient Evil, aiming for the head should be your only focus to make sure these enemies stay down for good.
