Equip Copper or Iron Gear

Copper Equipment

Before facing the Burnt Skeleton Praetorian, make sure your weapons and armor should be at least copper or iron to withstand its attacks and deal effective damage.

Stock up on food and check that your ranged weapons are loaded, as being under-equipped can make the fight significantly harder.

Use Ranged Attacks

Using a shortbow or crossbow is advantageous in this fight, as you can deal damage from afar while the Burnt Skeleton Praetorian moves slowly toward you. It will occasionally use its shield to block your attacks, so time your shots carefully.

Staying at range also gives you a clear view of its Lunging Attack charging animation, allowing you to strafe sideways to avoid it or switch to your shield to block.

Take Out Summoned Skeletons

When the Burnt Skeleton Praetorian summons skeleton minions, prioritize defeating them immediately. Leaving them unchecked will make the fight more difficult, as they are nimble and will continuously harass you.

Fortunately, the Burnt Skeleton Praetorian moves slowly, so you can lure the skeletons away while keeping an eye out for its Lunging Attack.

Where to Find Burnt Skeleton Praetorian

Overworld Encampment in Emerald Wilds

Burnt Skeleton Praetorian Location
