You beat them up with an axe or guitar solos. Last thing I did was to ride on the back of Lemmy from Motorhead's motorbike to herd some wild pigs with guns for skeletons which were then stunned by my bass guitar while a hot goth chick ripped the skeletons from the pigs with her bear hands. Oh, Lemmy is also a witch-doctor who heals people using the power of bass. Weirdly, in the game universe none of this is all that weird.
