(I added an important piece of info if the player wants to imprision Elder since looting his AI Core kills it immediately. New players may find this confusing)

We are superior!

We are free from flesh pleasures!

We are free from bodily filth!

We are free from the grasping mind!

We. Are. Skeletons.

Skills will be multiplied by the racial multiplier. Players should also be aware that non-player characters also level up while fighting.

World States[]

If The Elder is killed or imprisoned, it will cause the Iron HQ to be taken over by the Southern Hive. Furthermore, the patrols of Skeleton Bandits in the areas surrounding The Crags that once consisted of an Upgraded Skeleton Bandit and 10-15 Skeleton Bandits become broken, turning to a small squad of 1-5 Broken Skeleton Bandits.

If Savant is alive and free while The Elder is killed/imprisoned, it will cause Skin Bandits patrols of 8-20 individuals to start patrolling in The Pits and The Crags.

The smaller Skeleton Bandit presence in the area also cause patrols of Southern Hive consisting of a Prince and 8 Droneguards to start appearing in Stobe's Garden and The Crags.

Tips[]

  • Looting the AI Core from Elder's inventory will immediately kill him.

Trivia[]

  • Elder is the only NPC who has an AI Core as a death item that is counted as "stolen" when looted.
  • As Elder has his stealth category level set to 10, his Dexterity is only 10 as well. If he had no stealth stat set, his Dexterity would be 75.
