Skaldor is a high-level skeleton boss in the Desert Tomb. He appears as a normal skeleton aside from his red eyes. He can spawn with a dagger, short sword, or a long sword. He is capable of dealing 50+ damage with a single attack. Due to being able to use a silver dagger, Skaldor might have a dagger skill of at least 30. Skaldor spawns with 6 normal skeletons and 3 skeleton wolves. He has the ability to cast fear without the use of a scroll. When this happens, his eyes will glow a deep red. He is also capable of using a shield of terror, meaning he has a shield skill of at least level 35. Skaldor is the second hardest boss to kill after Lich. His defense and his life skill are both very high, and killing him is a challenge even for high-level players. A large party is recommended for defeating this boss.
Strategies[]
Skaldor is infact hard to kill however the use of Conjuration, Necromancy, and Evocation scrolls while they are glowing can make the fight much easier. It is common knowledge that Skaldor is very difficult without the usage of Consumes, however, the more people you bring with you the less you will have to use to kill him. While there aren't many strategies to kill him, a common one would be to make sure everyone is at full health, and have one person go invisible or someone to use a concealment so you can take Skaldor by himself as his room is also very difficult to kill.
Skaldor requires at least Fear Breakers such as Beer or Potion of Rage, as getting feared can be devastating especially if he is equipped with a Sword. Skaldor can easily punch through a tank's health quickly, therefore, the following consumes are good ideas to bring with you to protect yourself against Skaldor's beefy attacks; Potion of Stone Skin is almost a neccessity, Defense Rings and a Helmet, Scroll of Blur, Scroll of Protection, many Potions of Extra Life. Skaldor may seem intimidating but having proper carry and a proper team, he will be easily overcome.
