![]() Depending on which head it is, the upgrade can cost between 15 and 100 bones, and some can’t be upgraded, so it’s best to choose wisely whenever possible. Heads can be upgraded by Arachne (pictured above) for a number of bones between levels, which you collect by destroying the heads you find that you know you aren’t going to use. For example, if you’re facing a boss that stays in the air a lot, you’ll likely be better suited with a head that has a dash attack or an attack that’s far-reaching. The different heads you acquire during your journey vary in their utility and some are more appropriate than others depending on which miniboss you’re facing. There are a few other types of doors, but the differences aren’t quite as obvious to me, besides the boss doors which have no enemies in their area.īetween some sections of a level, you’ll usually find some mini-bosses that can lead to pretty awesome and intense fights that are reminiscent of the slick anime battles from Naruto, which enhanced the excitement for me. It’s not yet clear to me what every door means but it seems that doors with treasure around them lead to a section where you get more money, and the door with ruins and purple flames around it takes you to what I can best describe as the shopping area. You’ll be using the basic attack the most, as the other abilities require cooldown before they can be used again, although this can be reduced depending on what you have equipped.īetween sections of a level, there are usually either one or two doors that will let you go to the next section. ![]() Combat includes jumping and dashing, a basic attack, different special attacks and abilities depending on the head you have, and additional abilities from the power-ups. Skul’s standard head is fine, especially once you’ve upgraded your stats a bit, but different heads are more well-suited for other situations, so it’s best to try them all and see what fits your playstyle best. ![]() These abilities include different attacks and special moves, stat enhancements, and more. To do this, you must travel through a variety of levels taking down plenty of human and other types of enemies, freeing bosses from the spells they’ve been put under, and using your head.īy using your head I do mean it literally since Skul’s head can be swapped, with different heads having a variety of abilities (note: while these heads are called skulls in-game, they’ll be referred to as heads from here on out to avoid confusion with the main characters name). Click on the links below to go the walkthrough sections for the different stages of Skul.In Skul: The Hero Slayer, SouthPAW Game’s new 2D side-scrolling rogue-lite, you play as the titular skeleton character on a journey to save monsterkind from the humans that have been remorselessly attacking them and ultimately rescue the Demon King. Once you've got this, you're ready to begin your first run through the game. Skul will wake up in the Demon King’s Castle with The Witch who will provide you with a scroll that will allow you to collect Skulls, Items and Quintessence. After this, the First Hero appears and unleashes an attack. Luckily, he’s not that powerful and will only take a few hits to defeat. As you make your way back to the Demon King's Castle, there'll be an Ogre standing in the way of the door for you to defeat. She'll briefly explain the importance of using the different abilities that Skulls can offer. After defeating them, destroy the cage to release The Witch and begin your journey to saving the Demon King.Īs you continue on the path, The Witch will show you how to dash and how to equip a second Skull. You’ll notice a witch in a cage being guarded by the army. You’ll acquire a bone weapon from another skeleton warrior, and continue on to a mini fight with a few of the Carleon army. The first thing you'll learn is how to jump and attack. After the carnage, you take control of Skul, a rookie skeleton warrior, and a short tutorial will commence. Skul: The Hero Slayer begins with the Demon King’s Castle being invaded by the Carleon army. As the maps are procedurally generated, this is not a linear walkthrough but guidance on how to tackle each of the sections successfully. This walkthrough is designed to help you with approaching the game as you take on the role of Skul.
