Snake Island Skeletons

  • I've been playing the game since it was released last year, and I have to say I am really enjoying the new features (although I haven't tried the Tall tales yet) but there's one thing that is irritating me, the Skeleton respawns, particularly on Snake Island.
    My fiancee (who is also enjoying the game) and I had to give up on a Gold Hoarders Quest yesterday because we just kept getting attacked (sometimes two at a time) by the Gunpowder Skeletons, I must have died half a dozen times!
    Is anyone else finding the respawns on Snake Island "over the top"?

    Not really. If needed, just grab a pistol and lead them to the shore where you can pick them off safely from a distance in the water as you gather yourself. One of you can drag them elsewhere while the other crew member(s) digs away.

  • The Skeleton Spawn rate has always been funky. Some of it depends on the difficulty of the mission you are playing, some of it is purely random and all of it seems confusing.

    But Snake Island is no different than any other island.

    As @Ghostpaw has said. If it seems overwhelming lead them to the waters edge and shoot/cannon/powder keg them from the relative safety of your ship. Meanwhile your fiancee can sneak around and dig up the treasure.

  • Wait until you start Athena's... even more...

    Just be more aware of your surroundings. As soon as you hear them coming from the ground, start checking all of them for powder kegs and be ready to run.

    It's not too much, just have to adjust your tactics.
