Emaciated Soldiers

Emaciated Soldiers are the skeleton warriors of the Past, the dimension of Act V. Soulrend’s KubeJS script turns every Skeleton that spawns there into an Emaciated Pikeman, Spearman or Noble, with polearms instead of bows and very high base damage. No quest asks for them. Wither Skeletons in the Past become the Decaying King instead.

Spawning#

The Past’s Dead Wasteland spawns Skeletons (weight 990) in groups of 1–4; each is replaced as it spawns. As with the Rotten Soldiers, a spawn is cancelled when more than three soldiers are within 24 blocks or a Past boss is within 96 blocks.

Soldier Chance Size Weapon Off hand Armor
Emaciated Pikeman 60% ×1.25 Dragon Steel Fire Pike Steel Shield Ronin (Ronin Chestplate)
Emaciated Spearman 35% ×1.25 Agony Dark Cover (Dark Cover Chestplate)
Emaciated Noble 5% ×2 Astrape Electric Blue Dragon Shield Sunset Wings (Sunset Wings Chestplate)

Stats#

The script sets each soldier’s base health and attack, and Auto Leveling multiplies them by the nearest player’s level (see Mob Levels). Armor comes from the set each one wears.

Soldier Base health / attack Level 200 Speed
Emaciated Pikeman 50 HP / 80 3,035 HP / 1,672 0.48
Emaciated Spearman 100 HP / 120 6,070 HP / 2,508 0.48
Emaciated Noble 600 HP / 160 36,420 HP / 3,344 0.5

All three have 100% knockback resistance.

Caution

Emaciated Soldiers are frail compared with the Rotten Soldiers but hit much harder: a level 200 Noble’s attack value is over 3,000.

Drops#

They keep the vanilla Skeleton loot: 0–2 Arrow and 0–2 Bone. Each weapon, shield and armor piece has vanilla’s 8.5% chance (+1% per Looting level) to drop when a player kills them.
