Coral Skeleton
The Coral Skeleton is a unique variant of Skeleton found in Sea of Thieves. They do not spawn regularly on islands and can only be found within Siren Shrines, Siren Treasuries, and in certain Tall Tales. They appear to have about as much health as normal skeletons, bearing only a unique appearance.
Summary
Aside from a unique glow effect that seems to persist only when players are within a relatively close range, they are no different to ordinary Skeletons. Like all other variants of skeleton, they can spawn with bare hands, a Cutlass, a Pistol, or a Blunderbuss, and they can eat Bananas to recover their health. There is no reward to killing Coral Skeletons.
Coral Skeletons can spawn in waves as part of certain sections of Tall Tales. They mostly appear to guard Ancient Vaults or on an Island when some Tall Tales steps are completed, endlessly chasing the player characters down. They can also spawn in certain Siren Shrines in set locations as well as Siren Treasuries where any dry wave can consist of coral skeletons, often as Gunpowder Skeletons.
Tips and Tricks
- When spawned as part of a Tall Tale, only fight them if necessary to escape the island as they will respawn infinitely until you leave.
- When spawned as Gunpowder Skeletons inside Siren Treasuries, execute caution when fighting them as Treasuries tend to be lined with Gunpowder Barrels.
- As they respawn infinitely and in large numbers, Coral Skeletons from Tall Tales can be an easy way to finish the Scorched Skeletons commendation.
