Skeleton Lord

Skeleton Lord is an Enemy in Dragon's Dogma.

Description
Skeleton Lords are dangerous undead warriors that were Mystic Knights in life. They wield Magick Shields similar to Knight's Honor but roughly one sixth smaller in conjunction with a unique broadsword, and wear an armor with elements similar to the Chimeric Armor and  Meloirean Armor, with a cape similar to the Paladin's Mantle - all armor items are darker or more worn or blackened than those carried by humans and pawns.

In battle they can employ a Dark version of the Holy Wall ability, making them difficult to attack from the front. They can also be summoned by Liches.

On being defeated they may drop a Fell-Lord's Bone, Lordly Emblem, Skull, or 800 Rift Crystals.

Tactics

 * Weak to blunt weapons and attacks.
 * Weak to all Holy magic/
 * While their Unholy Wall is active they are impervious to frontal attacks - attempt to flank..


 * Watch out for a powerful Shield Storm skill - often used after blocking two frontal attacks.
 * Vulnerable once knocked down
 * Ruinous Sigil is effective in this respect, and the skeletons do not seem to detect its threat or purpose.

Pawn Bestiary Knowledge
For full informations, refer to the Pawn Bestiary Knowledge page or the according section on the Skeleton page.
 * Attack from the back when Unholy Shield is up

In addition to witnessing these techniques, it is necessary for Pawns to participate in killing 50 Skeleton Lords either with their own Arisen or while travelling with others.

Bugs

 * The Skeleton Lords found in the Mountain Cottage sometimes disappear if the battle is taken anywhere outside of the cottage.
 * This may actually be due to day breaking, causing dismissal of the undead.
