The Cursed Skull (and Dragon Skull on Console versions) is a flying monster found only in the Dungeon. It is similar to the Meteor Head, with high damage, slow speed, and the ability to travel through tiles. It floats slowly towards the player, usually circling around them for a while, before suddenly lunging forward to attack. When striking a player, the Cursed Skull has a chance to apply the Cursed debuff. This renders the player unable to use items, including Weapons, Potions, and Grappling Hooks, making it very difficult to avoid further damage. On Mobile, Dragon skulls will drop a gold key every time as well as a gold coin. This is probably unintentional. (Tested on Kindle Fire HD.)

Cursed Skulls are immune to the Poisoned, On Fire!, and Cursed Inferno debuffs. They only spawn in the Dungeon where there is Brick Wall.

Tips

  • Cursed Skulls can be attacked through walls with melee weapons. Weapons with long range like Spears work well. This may, however, result in drops being trapped inside of the wall beyond the player's reach.
  • Cursed Skulls and Dragon Skulls rather rarely drop more than 3 Bones on some occasions
