Comprehensive Skull Caverns Guide (1.6) | Stardew Valley

[@KenroGaming]

Super helpful guide, thank you! I've been trying to clear the caverns for more iridium and the lowest i can usually get is around 60-70, this is going to be really helpful.

[@crxssaegrim]

Of course, I’m happy to have helped! I’m excited for your journey deeper down into the Skull Caverns, it’s so much fun and the profits are insane. Thanks for watching🖤

1. Pause buffering is insane for when you have a lot of ladders. Pressing the inventory key during the fade-in animation will prevent in-game time for continually passing during that specific moment. Using 100~150 staircases while opening the inventory vs not will save you 2 hours plus. 2. The best mining tool is in fact your master slingshot with explosive ammo. Each bomb has a fuse time with the fuse time increasing with the level of bombs (bomb

If you cant deal with a slow weapon Dragon tooth club with a speed innate enchant

1. I will definitely use this when I want to push 300+ 2. This is definitely something I want to weave into my cavern runs, thank you! 3. I'll definitely try this when I need the inventory space. 4. You're right, I never thought of how useful it can be in the long run! 5. I'm huge on combat, while money is part of the goal, I also want to hack and slash away at monsters heheh. 6. I don't think I would enjoy performing ring switches on specific mob death animations just for the speed buff just to be able to have both ring effects unless used in very specific farming/item grind situations. I do think this is an awesome tip though and will definitely use it for those niche situations. Overall it would make the game a bit too menu-y for my liking though! Thank you so much for sharing all of these tips Shawn, I definitely learned some stuff =]

Luck increases the chances of finding ladders and shafts from mining (but not combat) and of finding treasure rooms. It complements the Dwarf King "Greater chance to find ladders and shafts" buff. You could add another +4 luck buff with lucky lunches and luck rings, but you'd have to give up a speed buff and two rings.

[@sfitzpat140]

I'm terrible at combat. This info helped so much! Thank you.

[@crxssaegrim]

Absolutely! Can’t wait to post more :)

[@rcampos4445]

What a great video. The breakdowns are awesome. Just recently started playing again and 1.6 has so much now. I’m looking forward to progressing towards all this. Thanks for sharing!

[@crxssaegrim]

Thank you for the feedback, and i’m excited for you to get into the swing of things as you develop your own playstyle and find your rhythm. I will be uploading a guide on fresh skull cavern gameplay (no trinkets/mastery yet) in the near future :)

[@maggiecain]

Thanks for the ring advice, i needed that.

[@crxssaegrim]

Of course! I love the build-crafting options from the rings - Cheers!

[@WolfHour_]

This is criminally low views for such a good guide

[@1011TinaWu]

I DID NOT know that an iridium band can be combined with other rings because I thought it's already a forged ring judging from its' look! Thank you so much for the tips :)

[@crxssaegrim]

so happy you learned something, thanks for watching!

[@PuncakeLena]

This is great, I'm horrible at PvE, and haven't progressed in the game enough to know about trinkets so I really appreciate knowing about the combining of the Iridium band with another ring and the freezing enemies ability

[@crxssaegrim]

Yess, trinkets and rings are super helpful in many different ways. Hopefully you enjoy mixing and matching to compliment your playstyle. Happy exploring :)

[@PuncakeLena]

@crxssaegrim Thanks!

[@c4mrblx]

Great video bro! Love the explanations and would love to see more guides just like this one!🔥

[@Malty1986]

Great video I’m just waiting for challenge caverns to come up in Qi’s quests so this has really helped. using all the Galaxy weapons is a good idea will definitely be doing that. The only tweak I’ll be making is to add a lucky ring instead of savage to try and get down the floors a bit quicker. Thanks for the video!

[@crxssaegrim]

Lucky ring rules! Awesome idea and thanks for watching :)

[@toniebreedlove6334]

Thank you for the videos.

[@francswike192]

Great guide if you have all the gear. I'm about to start my first run. Have Galaxy Sword, some bombs, staircases, & not much money. I need a guide for that. I usually just die and then get frustrated and don't go back, until I have lots of staircases & money

[@crxssaegrim]

I’m going to be doing a beginner’s skull cavern guide with just a galaxy sword and hammer for weapons! :) hoping to be done recording and editing it this christmas!

[@noface_777]

My man, thank you so much for this guide! I'm not quite there in my SDV journey to hit up the SC yet, but I've saved this video for when I do get to late game. I have a video request, if you have time. Are you able to do a beginner early/mid game Skull Caverns guide? Especially, for new players like myself first entering the SC for the first couple of times?

[@crxssaegrim]

Yes this is actually on my queue of videos to create! Whenever I re-journey into SDV on my hardcore account, I will be making this exact video you're requesting - hopefully sooner than later! :) Thanks so much for watching dude!

[@magycon2368]

Love these types of videos!

[@crxssaegrim]

Lots more on the way!! :]

[@bjisawesome26]

the skull caverns are my mortal enemy lol thank you for making this

[@crxssaegrim]

May your cavern runs be blessed with an overwhelming amount of Prismatic Shards, Golden mystery boxes, and Qi drops!

[@catisainz2430]

Thank you for the video! How do I get the rod trinket? Thanks!

[@crxssaegrim]

Hey there and so sorry for the late reply - but once you unlock combat mastery, you will be eligible to receive trinket drops from monsters! Eventually you'll receive the ice rod, and if you roll lucky enough at some point, you'll get the perfect one which gives you the best possible stats on it. Cheers!

[@toniebreedlove6334]

Hi. Question. When we in the minds do we always start from level one when we leave? Or, every tenth floor we have that option to start from there? I got down to thirteen I believe and I'm still starting from for one.

[@crxssaegrim]

Hey there, for the skull caverns you will always restart. For the Mines (if you're not doing a challenge), you can go to any previously unlocked floor increment you'd like.

[@victorial7861]

Man, you make this look so easy. But my health bar is half the size of yours and I just end up eating about 30meals to survive. I've only made it to floor 50

[@crxssaegrim]

I was in the same situation at first too. I'm wondering if you have early-mid game gear, because I think it may be a good idea for me to make a guide to the skull caverns that is friendly for people who haven't farmed all the crazy gear yet!

[@IAmTruthKing]

Def a good idea bro, this was a great vid and I'm gonna follow for more content! Thank you.

[@Storm-li1re]

I really expected you to go for the burglar's ring if you like mummy drops so much. Maybe that's because I haven't gotten the savage ring to consistently work for me.

[@crxssaegrim]

Burglar’s ring is a pretty solid alternative. I will be making a combined ring that contains a burglar’s ring to swap into for those smaller packed rooms at deeper levels!

[@keiharris332]

Not bad for working all day. I work 5 hours and make many many times that with fish ponds. But not bad at all

[@crxssaegrim]

Yep i love the hacking and slashing and passively making money while my crops do their thing haha

[@fattyrose3251]

How to use hammer special move Ps. i play on mobile

[@crxssaegrim]

Not sure i play on PC :(

[@bedrocklolgame]

Use joystick and buttons, the left button is your basic attack, while the right one is the skill move.

[@XariusClemont]

Could be helpful if you could make one guidr for those who dont have the forge and other end game content

[@crxssaegrim]

I was thinking the same thing - when I get to early-game skull caverns on my hardcore account, I will definitely be uploading a decently viable method for early skull caverns!

[@XariusClemont]

@@crxssaegrimthanks alot.

[@Sledgehannahgaming]

So this is the dangerous version of skull cavern, from Mr qi? Looks like it. And do you really make 6mil in one skull cavern run as this video’s cover page suggests?

[@crxssaegrim]

Hey there and thanks for the comment! Yes this is the dangerous skull caverns which is unlocked through Qi’s Skull Cavern Invasion Quest. The 6mil on the thumbnail is my play file, which displays my total earnings for my farm. In the following video, you can get a better idea of how much you can earn through combat in the Dangerous Skull Caverns!

As well as this one Loot From 1 Week in the Skull Caverns | Stardew Valley kzbin.info/www/bejne/m6OUpmWBg8mioMU Cheers!

[@magycon2368]

Just a little cosmetic easter egg, try clicking the junimo on your level-stat page in the inventory a couple times, you'll see what I mean

[@crxssaegrim]

Okay, I’ll do that tn and then report back :D

[@crxssaegrim]

whoa, just did it!! very pretty =]
