Skeletal Puppet ❘ 操り骸	Regular Enemy

Description Slow but unpredictable enemies that appear almost exclusively during the boss fight with Micolash. They don't move around too much, but their attacks are swift and can cause you to stumble or knock you down. Skeletal Puppets have very high defense, inflict large amounts of damage and can hit you several times in quick succession, making them formidable enemies in their own right; additionally, the ones that appear as minions of Micolash will not die until the fight ends, and will get back up if defeated before then. With resourceful use of Shaman Bone Blades, however, these foes can be turned against Micolash while he is trapped in one of the balcony rooms, serving as distractions and potentially inflicting tremendous amounts of damage upon him while he is unable to flee. Strategy Ignore the ones in Micolash's boss area unless you plan to turn them against him with a Shaman Bone Blade, though avoid standing near them for any longer than necessary to minimize unnecessary damage to yourself. If you encounter them elsewhere, quickstep forward through their attacks and hit them from behind with an R1 combo or stagger them with a charged R2. It is possible to interrupt their melee attacks, but the precise timing required and their erratic movements make this a tricky proposition; moreover, Molotovs and Throwing Knives are only marginally effective against them. Notes Preset Chalice Dungeons: None All enemies and bosses (except hunter enemies) have 999 frenzy resistance, despite that they are still vulnerable to such status. The only way to see it without modding is to use Shaman Bone Blade on enemy inflicting frenzy to attack others. [test video] Rally immunity: Skeletal Puppet is immune to rally from all damage types. Skeletal Puppets found in Chalice Dungeon, glyph 8nyezcys [Reddit, video]. Discovery made by The Tomb Prospectors on June 21, 2018. More information on their wiki page. Note that in order to bring these creatures to life, you will have to stand next to them and reload your game. Where exactly you are standing seems to have an effect on the reanimation process, positioning yourself in front of the double chest definitely works. Surprisingly, every time you kill them, reloading the game will bring them back to life. [image 01, image 02, image 03, image 04]

Pungent Blood Cocktails don't attract this enemy, making the item ineffective. Shaman Bone Blades affect this enemy, making it hostile to other enemies.

Base Level: Blood Echoes, HP, Damage and Def. Multipliers

For enemies that also appear (or exclusively appear) in dungeons, their stats will be shown at the base level, because their exact stats at any given point are calculated from these base values. The basic formula is: Total Value = Base x A x B x C x D. Multipliers written down below were datamined directly from the game files. Multiplier A represents depth (1 - 5) of the chalice dungeon; multiplier B is layer (1 - 4) of the specific chalice dungeon; multiplier C is used when dungeon is Pthumeru Ihyll; multiplier D is for calculating blood echoes when additional curse rite is used.
