Location: Castle Corridor
The Creaking Skull is your first boss. It's a large skeleton that attacks with slow, telegraphed punches and by summoning smaller skeletons.
- Attacks:
- Punch: A slow, wide swing with its fist. Easily dodged by moving away or crouching.
- Summon Skeletons: Summons 1-2 regular Skeletons to assist.
- Weakness: None specific, but physical attacks are effective.
- Recommended Souls:
- Bullet: Zombie Soul or Skeleton Soul for ranged damage.
- Guardian: Warg Soul for extra damage.
- Enchant: Axe Armor Soul (if acquired) for increased STR.
- Strategy: Stay close to the Creaking Skull and attack its legs or body. When it winds up for a punch, quickly move away or crouch. Prioritize defeating the summoned Skeletons immediately, as they can become a nuisance. If you have a Bullet Soul, use it to deal damage from a safer distance. This boss is a good introduction to dodging and managing multiple enemies.
- Reward: Access to the Study.
