Description
Skeletal Militiamen are Humanoid Enemies in Elden Ring. Skeletal Militiamen are literal bare-bone creatures, always hostile and often moving in packs. They often fight alongside Skeletal Bandits and Skeleton Mages. It is very common for them to ambush their preys, by acting as lifeless corpses or hiding underwater. Just like other Skeletons such as Skeletal Bandits and Skeleton Mages, Skeletal Militiamen will not die upon defeat, making them able to re-take their previous shape and keep on fighting. In order to avoid this, players should also attack their remains even after these creatures are defeated.
The spirits of two (2) Skeletal Militiamen can be summoned for aid in battle by using Skeletal Militiaman Ashes.

Skeletal Militiamen share their resurrection mechanic with all other Skeletons. Once defeated, the glowing slime they leave behind must be hit to avoid them reforming and attacking again.
A weapon empowered by Ash of War: Sacred Blade or Ash of War: Sacred Order will kill Skeletons without resurrection. You can also just poke most skeletons with a torch to kill them once the "slime" is exposed.
Three weapons can kill Skeletons and other reviving enemies inherently, without the aid of buffs: Golden Epitaph, Golden Order Greatsword, and Inseparable Sword.
Holy Water Pot can, on most occasions, kill a skeleton in a single throw. This will also prevent them from resurrecting.
