Game-Specific InformationEdit

Castlevania : Symphony of the NightEdit

The Skeleton Ape only has a limited number of barrels, after which it will wander forward slowly and use physical attacks if Alucard strays too close.

The aid of a Skeleton Ape must be enlisted in order to enter the Abandoned Mine and Catacombs. After hitting a switch in the room beyond the waterfall, a Skeleton Ape will appear and destroy a wooden bridge, followed by the message "something has appeared near to the wooden bridge" appearing. Backtracking will lead to the discovery that a Skeleton Ape now exists in a prior room, and it must be lured into throwing its barrel onto that room's bridge to destroy it. Unequipped offensive Familiars which may otherwise kill the skeleton is advisable.
