The Forge loves to hide its nastier foes behind a stack of chores, and the Elite Rogue Skeleton is one of those late arrivals. It takes a bit of setup to reach it, and a bit of force to drop it. This guide shows where to find the Elite Rogue Skeleton location in The Forge and the easiest way to bring it down.
Where to Find Elite Rogue Skeletons in The Forge
Elite Rogue Skeleton is one of The Forge enemies who is a part of multiple questlines. However, you must have some specifics ready to find this enemy. First, you must unlock the Portal Tool and get to the Fogotten Kingdom. If you have not done so yet, keep working through Sensei Moro’s quests and push your level to 10.
Once there, take the canon near the spawn to reach Captain Rowan’s camp. Head straight to enter the Ruined Caves and take the right. This will lead you to the Ashen Passage, where you see a board with ‘DANGER’ written.
Near the end of the passage, look for the Magma Pickaxe on the right. Beside the pickaxe, you will find two Basalt Veins. Use The Forge pickaxes that have more than 78 damage to break it.
When the rocks break, drop through the opening to reach the Volcanic Depths. The place is packed with lava and hard-hitting enemies. Among all these enemies, you will find the Elite Rogue Skeletons in The Forge. You might handle the Elite Rogue Skeletons if you are using the best weapon recipes and armor recipes to equip yourself. The flowing lava will burn you as well if you stand in it.
Tips and Tricks to Beat Elite Rogue Skeletons in The Forge
As I mentioned before, fighting the Elite Rogue Skeleton is easy if you already have upgraded weapons and armor in The Forge. Killing them rewards with a lot of XP, gold, and the chance to get runes. That said, here are a few tips and tricks you can use to beat them quickly:
- Unlike enemies like the Reaper or Elite Deathaxe Skeleton, parry is not crucial against the Elite Rogue Skeletons. You can either dodge the attack sequence or simply delete them in one swipe.
- If you have good armor, you can tank multiple attacks from the Elite Rogue Skeletons as they deal 45-114 damage per plunge.
- Using weapons with Magmaite or Fireite ores in The Forge will make your fight easy against these skeletons, as they can easily erase the 295 HP.
That is where you can find the Elite Rogue Skeletons location in The Forge. Did you kill them to complete The Forge quests already? Let us know in the comments.
Elite Rogue Skeletons drop solid XP and have a chance to give runes, which makes them a reliable farm target once you can clear the Volcanic Depths safely.
Yes, if someone breaks the veins already, you can enter the Volcanic Depths right away.
