Best to avoid the gargoyle if possible (dont go that way) but if like what happened to me and you get stuck in a situation where they are waiting for you by a stair case for you to come down then I pity ya!!

I managed to kill them though by running away and getting one stuck and so I could tackle one on his own...even that was tough! But with enough potions I got them both!

If you have a 2-handed weapon use it on them, a crushing weapon if you have one.

As for the skellys....do the jitterbug! Run heal hit run heal hit!
