Strategy
Swordsman
The Giant Skeleton Swordsman is much larger than the other skeletons and has a much larger attack range. They can not be backstabbed or parried, but can be easily guarded against at the loss of significant stamina. The most dangerous of his attacks is the Sword Slam, which takes a long time to wheel back and slam its sword into the ground. Unfortunately, this is also the best time to attack, as he will leave his guard down long enough to attack. Moving in behind him and get in some attacks safely is your best strategy. Spellcasters, on the other hand, have a much easier time with these.
