The Hollow Soldier is a Hollow enemy in Enshrouded, found in the Springlands, Revelwood, the Nomad Highlands, the Kindlewastes, the Albaneve Summits and the Veilwater Basin. A Hollow warrior found across Embervale in various crypts, tombs, and temples, and found in numbers inside Hollow Halls. They use a lunging attack to close the distance, followed by a series of melee strikes when at close range. It is weak to blunt damage.
Where to Find the Hollow Soldier
Hollow Soldiers stand guard in crypts, tombs and temples across Embervale. They gather in large numbers inside the Hollow Halls, where they fight beside skeletons, mages and reapers. Smaller groups also appear in the open world, often in abandoned villages and old ruins. Some rise again from glowing bone piles that keep raising Hollow until destroyed. Soldiers in later regions are higher level and hit harder.

How to Fight the Hollow Soldier
The Hollow Soldier lunges forward to close the distance, then follows with a series of melee strikes. Stepping aside from the lunge leaves it open for a counterattack. Blunt weapons deal half again as much damage to it, while poison and Shroud damage only do half. A shield can block the strikes that follow the lunge. In the Hollow Halls, soldiers often hold the front while mages cast from behind, so the mages deserve attention first.

Lore
The Hollow Soldier is a skeleton warrior of the Hollow. The Hollow were an underclass cast out by the Flame and cursed to walk Embervale in undeath forever. Most of them were banished to the Hollow Halls, vast underground crypts of unknown origin. The soldiers still carry their weapons and fight as they did in life. They form the backbone of the Hollow packs in the Halls.
