Skeleton icon.png

Skeletons are a common undead monster found all over Gielinor. Like zombies, they are the result of a necromancer reanimating the bodies of the dead. As such, they are commonly found in tombs, graveyards and dungeons.

According to Azzanadra, skeletons can also reanimate themselves should their burial site be desecrated, which is further supported when attempting to loot fallen barbarian corpses in the Ancient Cavern.

They are generally weak to magic, with most skeletons being especially vulnerable to earth or water spells. A salve amulet or salve amulet (e) will provide a damage and accuracy boost of +15% and +20% respectively against skeletons and other undead.

Slayer alternatives[edit | edit source]

Any monsters named "skeleton", with the exception of guard skeletons in a player-owned house and the Skeletons found in Daemonheim (also including the Unholy Cursebearer boss) and Sinkholes, may be killed to complete a slayer assignment. The following alternatives are also available:

Banking tips[edit | edit source]

Many skeleton locations are far from banks. For players wishing to slay skeletons and bank their drops, consider the following:

Champion's Challenge[edit | edit source]

Skeletons are one of the races who have lesser champions in the Champion's Challenge Distraction and Diversion. To fight the Skeleton Champion, the player must kill skeletons until one drops a Champion's scroll, a very rare drop. Obtaining the scroll usually takes several hours of dedicated skeleton hunting, therefore it is advised to kill lower level skeletons to increase the kill rate as much as possible.
