D1 Skeleton Archer

From Diablo 2 Wiki
D1-mon-skeleton-archers.jpg

Skeleton Archers are Undead.

These ranged attacking skeletons are found in the church and catacombs. They don't do very much damage and their accuracy is poor, but they can be deadly in large groups, especially to lightly armored characters. Beware the huge pack of them that usually spawns on level 3 around the Skeleton King in multiplayer games.

Like other ranged attackers in Diablo, skeleton archers will fire at a golem from any distance, providing they have a direct line of sight. (This is due to a bug that gives golems an infinite light radius.) They will not activate unless the golem comes near them.
