How to Beat Golden Skeleton

Parry Their Attacks

The Golde n Skeleton has some swift attacks but it also has some predictable ones. Parrying these blows can make short work of the Golden Skeletons.

Use Magic Attacks

Golden Skeleton are much more vulnerable to magic than the other Skeletons. Snipe them with a soul arrow to slowly chip away at their health until they fall.
