This details the dialogue and quotes of the training dummy, Skelly. Be aware this page will contain **SPOILERS.**

## House of Hades

Skelly will often talk independent of conversation.

### Approaching

"What's the good word?"

"Hey, the Pact lit up, you must have done something!" - *After defeating Hades on Hell Mode*

### Upon Getting Hit

"Whoo!"

"Oh yeah!"

"I'm hit."

"Stuck me good!"

"Yeah that's it."

"Nope couldn't feel a thing!"

"Real nice!"

"Eh, not bad!"

"That kind of hurt!"

"Felt nothing there sorry!"

"The pain is indescribable!"

### Upon Destruction

"Oops got to go!"

"Yeaaaah!"

"Ahhhhh..."

"Sweet release!"

"Niiiice..."

"Ah! I am slain...!"

"Aand, I'm dead."

"Ah, my femur!"

"Right in the pelvis, oof!"

"Right in the vertebrae!"

"Farewell... boyo..."

### Upon Reappearance

"Oh hi."

"<Gasp> I'm alive!!"

"I live again, boyo!"

"Never felt so alive!"

"Heeey."

"Good as new!"

"Miss me, boyo?"

"What I'd miss?"

### Upon Switching Weapons

"Go on and clock me with that if you want."

### Upon Exiting the Pact of Punishment Choices

"Already said our good-byes boyo."

"Need another fancy weapon there or what?"

"Just go, pal. You can do it."

"Go on, boyo, get out of here."

### After Trying to Interact

"Enough with the small talk, boyo, hit me, go on!"

### After Pushing to Tartarus Viewpoint

"Well this is awkward"

"How am I supposed to get back?"

"Uh kinda stuck here Pal."

"Don't think I'm supposed to be here."

## Conversations with Zagreus

```
Skelly: "Pal, thanks again for that Nectar bottle from before, stuff just goes right through me like you wouldn't believe! Though, I hope you're not going around giving that stuff away to every
bozo you know."
Zagreus: "What, Skelly, you worried something bad is going to happen if I express a bit of generosity from time to time through our somewhat-illicit gift-giving custom around here?"
Skelly: "No, I'm worried you'll be wasting your time! If you give that stuff away, don't be expecting to get anything back. Well, not after the first time, anyway. Usually! I'm just saying...
don't get your hopes up."
Zagreus: "Maybe I just want to show thanks to my friends for its own sake!"
Skelly: "Hahaha, sure!"
- *After gifting Nectar to Skelly and several other characters.*

```

```
Zagreus: "Say, Skelly? Don't suppose you'd care to tell me how the infamous Twin Fists of Malphon came to be right here in this very courtyard, would you?"
Skelly: "Nope! Not any of my business, pal, which is to say, I didn't see a thing! And even if I did, it isn't what I'm paid to do! Don't you have someone in your fancy House there paid to keep
watch over stuff like that? Ask them!"
Zagreus: "All right, maybe I will."
- *After acquiring the Twin Fists of Malphon.*

```

```
Zagreus: "Come on, mate won't you say who hired you? Was it Achilles? Couldn't have been Nyx...? Is it that big a deal?"
Skelly: "I am an individual of some integrity, boyo, and protect my sources with my life! You'll have to kill me if you want to make me squeal!"

```

```
Zagreus: "That Lucky Tooth you gave me, Skelly. First off, thanks again, and secondly... is it even yours? Had a run-in with Hermes, who got me thinking."
Skelly: "What, *haha*, you going to believe everything that gabby guy tells you, now, boyo? He doesn't know a thing about me!"
Zagreus: "Never said he did. Though since you let on... what's your relationship to him? Working for him?"
Skelly: "No! Nope. Definitely not working for him, closer to a peer relationship. Well, other than the fact that he's a god and I'm just... well, what you see is what you get with me, pal. Hey, you won't
tell anyone, will you? I'm just here to help, I swear!"
Zagreus: "Fine. Maybe."
- *After Hermes comments about the Lucky Tooth*

```

```
Zagreus: "So what exactly happened with the formerly pink window over there? Now it's got these sinister orange flames and an enormous Pact of Punishment hanging ominously over the exit. Father stop by?"
Skelly: "Pal, I don't know a thing about it, honest! I was just minding my own business, when all the sudden, wham! I get hit right in the back. I fall to pieces, no idea what's going on! When I finally come to, the window job was done...!"
Zagreus: "As likely an explanation as any I guess."
- *After successfully escaping the Underworld the first time*

```

```
Zagreus: "Skelly, is it really true you don't want to talk about how you got here? Just curious who you used to be. What you were like. Your real name."
Skelly: "Hey, what makes you think this isn't my real name, pal? I'm offended!"
Zagreus: "Sorry, what I meant was... I was just interested to get to know you better, after all you've done to help. Anything you can share? Trade you for a detail about me!"
Skelly: "...Well all right... I was once a commander of men. Name of Schelemeus. Captain of the Cretan second fleet, sailing on Athens under King Minos. We were unstoppable... but then one day... one wrong turn... and we sailed straight into the waters of Charybdis."
Zagreus: "Skelly, that's... that's incredible, so then... you and your crew, you perished at sea?"
Skelly: "I, uh, pff, hahaha, boyo, you were something else, you know? All that Schelemeus stuff, I could've had you eating out of my hand for days!"
Zagreus: "Oh, I get it. You got me. Fine, then, Schelemeus. But I don't appreciate the trick."
Skelly: "Oh, hahaha, but I do!"
- *After giving Skelly a second bottle of Ambrosia*
