These tips aren't meant to teach players HOW to play the game. But hopefully they help players WITH playing the game. As always if you have any questions feel free to ask in the comments!

Two years later, finally grabbed this off of PS+ and can confirm that no, the spider lady still will not upgrade your base form so this video is still correct on that point.

Ghoul.
Alchemist
Hold on, is Ghoul that strong?
I personally didn't like him that much, my favorite is DeadCells one.
Skul is a underated fandom
That’s what I’m saying!
I know
No, it’s not
@@tbellz19????
It is a free game from playstation this month, so it should be getting a ton of new players.
I love watching guides when I already know the tips, it makes me feel smart.
Honestly, the most important Beelz tip is #6, which appears at about 3:37 in the video. Explicitly, playing this game is all about memorizing enemy attack patterns. Skul is the lightest of roguelites, in the sense that your action-combat skills are waaaaaay more important to your overall success than build, money, or good RNG.
The game tempts you to try to tank damage and just kill everything quickly via a broken, super strong build, but in actuality, you should just play it the legit way and learn to dodge.
I remember when I first started playing the game. I thought that there had to be a way to kill the pink trees (i.e. Blossom Ent) before their initial spore attack is released. It turns out that in most cases this is not possible. One simply has to be a bit patient, approach them, trigger their attack, quickly run away, then re-approach them when the coast is clear.
Another example is the second boss, the Leiana Sisters fight. This is when the game's difficulty ramps up by a million. Suddenly you have to take on two fast-moving enemies with a myriad of tricky attacks for which the dodging strategy is not immediately obvious. You can't just jump/dash reflexively.
Instead, you have to develop an inner monologue like..."Ok, I stand in the middle of the screen and jump at just the right moment...Ok, now I find a safe spot....Ok, now I have to jump at just the right moment and dash over this wave....".
Agreed. The games difficulty spiking up for the Second Boss fight is very deliberate it seems. This way players have enough room to earn some quartz, experience Act 2 and obtain soooome power via items/skulls. But the real test here is their ability to dodge and choose opportune times to go for damage. It's a patience fight, even though I try to force it lol. This kind of fight helps a lot when preparing for the upcoming Act 3 and 4 areas.
I remember when I could hardly ever beat the sisters, it really was the perfect time to learn dodge = good.
Just now played the game this weekend, and I learned that second boss fight the hard way. I only beat it the first time because I had destroyer, but I played it much more patiently the next time with base petty thief and felt pretty good about it lol
So if youve played Deaths Gambit, Salt and Sanctuary, etc, just read your enemies movements and dodge accordingly, and dont brute force fights
Your description of the fight could apply to every hollow knight boss
I've been following you for a while and back when I found you videos like this helped me to beat the game for the first time and get better! Keep up your awsome work
I wish there was a way to easily see what your bonuses are, like a screen that had total phys or magic damage, etc.
There have been some whispers here and there about making a more transparent menu that would give a brief description of what Your active buffs mean, as well as a compendium that would show all the skull (with their upgrades) You have stumbled upon so far, their respective skills (in upgraded and unupgraded form), enemies and so on and so forth. Unfortunately, i believe that so far these have only been some fan ideas and there was no confirmation from the devs stating that they plan on adding it. BUT! It's highly possible they might include such thing in a future update since and we may hear about all those plans when they post a roadmap for 2022
Probably its added now there is definitely a screen i you play on controller and press left trigger in your objects menu
I've always watched you videos and now that Skul is on PS+ I've been showing some to my brother. Roguelites aren't usually my thing but I'm giving it a try, rookie mode really helped because I kept dying at the first mini boss especially the ninja now I can consistently get up to the sisters. Just learning the ropes for now and your vids really help
Great guide for new players! Hopefully more people can get into skul. Can't wait for hard mode.
I just started playing and this really helped! Thank you!
i just started today (switch version) and kind of learned as i played but this little video guide helped me with my questions.
thank you. Very helpful tips. I started to play the game yestarday. I´m really struggling with it and dying a lot
Picked this one up, it's so good. Bloody hard though. Gameplay really reminds me of Blade assault, and that's really a good thing. This new style of mental action based side scrolling roguelike is perfect. I prefer this style over the bullet hell ones TBH.
Very helpful video!! Thanks a bunch, friend!!
I just started playing and knowing that the damage text shows if it is physical or magic is a huge tip. Thanks!
I just bought Skul after watching a video by SleepingBear. I haven’t played it yet. I’m so excited to start it. Anyone who makes a Skul Tips video has my respect. Big Ups!
This game looks really interesting, I might pick it up for Christmas!
I picked this game up 2 days ago and I can't stop playing it I've stayed up all night grinding this game, reminds me of the binding of Isaac just a tad
I would have quite liked to have these tips the first time I played Skul, 249 deaths and did not complete the game, however I ended up resetting the information and finished it thanks to everything known, incidentally my build was
-The Prisoner (The King)
-Sword-Skull (Never improve it)
-Shadow Knights
-Bowmaster's bow
-Hope Slasher
-Execution Ax
-Pot of Greed
-Master Fighter
-Giant's Ax
-Solar Sword
-Double Kirion (thanks to the Slime and the elimination of the Thief Armor)
It was the build that made me win and the one I've had the most luck in.
Prisoner is so fun I just haven't gotten him early enough to speed run to King and use his main gimicks fully
ayeeee beelz with the tips for newbie love it
Awesome Video it really helped me out!
It would be really dope if they add a sandbox or custom mode, like dead cells, so you are not cheating if you don't want to, you just can choose what to take out of the game and what to keep in and how to balance coin and health drops, it'd be really cool if that were to happen as I am not great at the game and also would like to try some more of the legendary and rare skuls, just be neat to play in a bit more of a cheaty way. And then for people who want more of a challenge there would be hard mode modifiers in it as well
the devs want to put out a hard mode in Q1 of 2022 but there's no news about a sandbox mode. Having said that, i think a lot of community members are asking about some sort of testing grounds area or a compendium so they might include it in some future update. If they do, i'm sure they're going to announce it in a future devlog or a roadmap ^^
A cheat mode would be bliss so I can just play Grimm reaper everytime
@@Jpeg_skeleton exactly, lock it behind the first win and then it's just a fun gamemode where you csn add a million enemies to onw room and have whatever skull and abilities at whatever level for the run that you want
Thank you for telling me that rocky mood is like I got this game like 2 days ago
Great video. Very helpful and accurate 👍
Just downloaded from ps+ thanks for the tips!
One Touch id like to add for power skulls is the dash rule doesn’t apply to gene,their unique dash is teleporting twice and their upgraded forms cause a blue mimic to appear where you start the dash that then attacks once and vanishes
Awesome video, thanks much!
I’ve beat this game countless times but my mind still goes “ooh beelz content, gotta click”
Bro I literally can’t wait for the release
i had a skul run up until the second form of the final boss
damn was it fun to fly above his head
raining magic necklace fireballs and mana bone storms
wow, this game is beautiful!
Items, that, fx, make normal attacks deal an additional 10 damage can be stacked so each normal attack deals 10 true damage twice. This can be very very powerful.
An Up-to-date Guide to skull is a perfect thing right now, because I might buy it.
Ps: Part 26 of asking Beelz to play Ori
Hi Beelz! Just recently picked this up for the Switch and framerate issues aside, I absolutely LOVE this game! I have a quick question for you. What does the icon shown next to the rookie icon mean? I can't seem to find any answer anywhere 😕
Glad you're enjoying dude! That icon is the buff for a second life. So if you've got the Witch Trait unlocked for your second life that buff shows you that you still have it. Once you ''die'' and go to second life it disappears.
@@Beelz55 ohhhhh, makes sense now lol thanks for the help man!
good guide ^^ - i wish they would finaly fix some of their magic/physical dmg texts
I'm of a balance and speed Skull like the wolf skull or the petty thief but thank for the tip.
Thx for the tip you can buy a second skull or item in the castle 😄
Skul finally being on switch tho 🙌🏿
just started today so fun so far my favorite skull is prisoner
❤Nice Tips you give me thanks
Cheers for the tips Beelz. But where is the Magic King run?
Sometimes I randomly heal to full. How does that happen? Maybe it has to deal with a weird green effect?
I have a big question should we use legendary skulls we find or use the skulls we are more comfortable using even if those skulls are pretty bad ones
That's entirely up to you and what you like using. I don't like Yaksha so I typically destroy it whenever I find it despite him being a Legendary. However Archlich and Reaper I do like so I keep them.
Tip #12 (as stated in your tier list):
The first time you beat the game, it will be with shield skul or ghoul.
Next video release will double down even more on the shield skull
Yes thank you for the video
The first non-mandatory skull I ever found was Arch Lich. And then I found out how it only takes 1 button press to switch with the headless in the shop where I had expllected there to be a menu with extra info about the skull and a confirm button after pressing the button once...
I got to the bossfight where there is just 1 extra strong hero with purple/magenta/salmon/pink/whatever background on my 16th run though (using unique alchemist with nitrogen). That was also the first run I ever beat yggdrasil. I unlocked 3 npcs in 1 run. I got to the same point in I think my 34th run, but only using Skul.
edit: On xbox.
edit2: This does make what I did less impressive, but I genuinely forgot to mention it before. I am not sure when I started using rookie mode, but it was definitely active during my 34th run. Not sure if it was on during my 16th run though. I don't think it was. I died on my first rookie mode run, cause the first room was about sneakily sabotaging machines. I definitely did a few runs a while ago when I first downloaded the game. I think 12 runs or so. That leaves very few runs, where I could have the chance to learn of the existance of rookie mode. On the 16th run, I was very very cautious (it took me >2 hours to get to the room where I died), so I was definitely still very rusty, and not that good even if I hadn't been rusty. When I turned on rookie mode, I started to improove rapidly, cause it gave me more room to experiment and it gave me more chaces to fail and learn. Idk.
ohhhh a tips guide ❤️❤️❤️
An odd little glitch on console, the big chargers lack their tell for shoulder dashing, but still make their grunts right before they strike. Until they fix this, keep enemy audio high enough to be noticed it you’re a console player like myself.
I had this yesterday, after restarting the game it went away. Only happened with the royal gold big guys.
Hey so do i lose the arachne upgrades after i die?
Is there a downside on the Rookie mode ? like not getting one kind of currency ?
I'd assume you wouldn't earn Quartz in Rookie mode, or something like that
A think, that would help me a lot is knowing how the hitboxes work in this game. Both where everyone can recieve damage and the area everyone can deal damage in.
edit: Especially skul, large enemies's attacks, and most of the ememy projectiles, that don't move in a straight line at a constant speed.
The only reason I consider playing it because it gave me the same vibe as hollow knight and MegaMan games
i'm wondering though, how do you record your gameplay ?
i tried recording with windows it's built in screen recorder but it records a lower frame rate than the game is running on.
I use OBS for all my recording. It's free but will require some time to set everything up so it captures what you want in the right way. Lots of online guides that cater to different needs.
@@Beelz55 Thanx !
skul only has 2 lives while Zagreus in hades has 2-3 extra live it can even be refilled in certain chapter/stage
Can you give fist a shot? Its a pretty good metroidvania.
What is this Skul game you're referring to?
I just started the game and noticed when i respawn, i always respawn as little skul. how do I make it so i respawn as one of the skulls ive found? is that possible? thanks!
It isn't. Skul himself is the default character. You can ask the Fox NPC to give you up to 2 skulls to begin a run, otherwise you've gotta find them during your runs. Once you make it to the Dark Mirror you can unluck a machine that lets you select ones you want.
thanks !!!
How many dark quartz I need to fully upgrade the witch trait ?
A lot. Currently I don't recall how many total. But it would take a few runs to max it all out. Depending on how far you get each attempt.
ok, so i don't understand if i upgrade a skull, do i get it from the fox too, or I'm wasting time upgrading them ? Was thinking that the basic ones you upgrade may turn up as a drop from the fox.
Upgrading your skulls is just a form of powerup for the run, like the items you collect, everything resets after. Similar to getting Brutality etc in Dead Cells. It's just a powerup for those chosen skulls. Think of it like, you have a Sword, and during the run you upgrade it to +4. But at the end of the run you win, yay it's over. And if you find a sword again you need to power it up during the run.
@@Beelz55 I find it a bit annoying, i expected it to be able to lvl them up and keep them. Like the post run progression in this game is a bit lacking compared to Dead Cells. I wanted something exciting to look forward to when I do another run.
So one thing I'm wanting to know are skull upgrades permanent or not?
wait wha begginer mode got changed? at launch it was 50-100hp more if i remember
Thank you, just picked it up for free, but the rooms made no sense to me. I figured the one was gold but couldn't figure out what the rest did.
I just beat the game for the first time!!!
How do you save in this game ????? I can't figure it out
Everything saves automatically.
I'm still stuck at Yggdrasil :/ I can get to the boss, but then the boss pounds me into mulch with undodgeable attacks
What does the fountains do in level 3?
Enemies in that Act can leave a debuff on you. It stacks an ''increased damage taken'' effect. You'll also notice a black fog effect around the border of your screen. Normal enemy hits can do it, the large statues that pulse a yellow aura do it and the candlestick guys who throw small projectiles at you are doing it. The fountains will cleanse this debuff off of you.
bruh i didnt even know about the room difference i just thought it was random lol
Bro how do I equip items, cause I can’t find a way to equip the sword
Triangle/Y on controller. I forget the prompt on keyboard. Pick it up and you have it. Check your inventory and it should be there. You don't physically hold items, they have effects that they provide for you. Skulls play how they play, similar to a Hero or Character on their own.
I know this is mad late but is there something that’s makes you luckier on your starter skulls?
Nah, it's all just RNG. You can get 2 starters from the Fox at the beginning but it's something like a 90% chance to get a Common and 10% for a Rare. He can't give anything higher than that. So Uniques and Legendaries have to be found in the run.
Once you've unlocked a high enough tier of hard mode you can choose which skulls you want out of Common and Rare.
@@Beelz55 alright thanks👍
@@Beelz55 also what’s the best common to use
@@Thebatwhogotwhitesplashes Depends what you wanna do. A lot are good. Pike and Werewolf might be stronger though.
@@Beelz55 I finally beat the game my first time with warlock and pike but the ending got me feeling like a way
i just got through my 6th or 7th run, and i accidentally swapped a legendary archlich skull for a random common 😭
should’ve watched this video earlier
does anyone know when the game releases for console? as far as i know they are already late for summer 2021
It's scheduled to release in October this year to my knowledge, but it can be postponed till early November. For now, keep on the lookout during the upcoming couple of weeks ^^
@@sirghosty3429 don’t worrry
i‘ve been on the lookout since a few years ago when console wasn’t even worked on yet :D
i can wait
Ghosty has already answered this but I thought I would add the actual dev blog where they announce this and reveal some more future plans:
store.steampowered.com/news/app/1147560/view/2894116176552273243
@@Yato_q the devs just announced that they'll release a console port for Skul on the 21st of October. There's also a trailer for the release, so here's the link to it in case You wanna watch it th-cam.com/video/D6TjLBBeRA4/w-d-xo.html
@@sirghosty3429 you have no idea how hyped i am
Wait wait wait we need a fresh new game run to see how far you can get
I keep getting to Joan of arc 2 but she is so difficult
I was playing yesterday and I got the berserker skull and then in the shop I accidentally gave it away
I just want to know what’s the differences of the domains
Domains? Not sure I'm aware of what you mean. The little statue things that buff enemies and you (if you break them) ?
@@Beelz55 gates or those portals when you go to a new area
@@Beelz55 OK though I figured it out after a few hours of playing the game after I download it since last night
Skul is the only 2d platform im liking, for example i didnt like hollow night, or cell (maybe too difficult for me but this is more fun)
4:22 lol I got all of those items and let me tell you i beat the whole game first try (befora that run i only beat the first 3 bosses)
How do you get quintessence
A few ways:
The shop can sell them (upper right NPC). Not always there but as the run progresses they're more common
Special rooms offering Quintessence rewards
Boss drops
Adventurer fights always offer one amongst the rewards
have to say even with rookie mode turned on this game is no cakewalk
i'm not raging just wanna say that i think this is not a broken as i thought it would be
What am i supposed to do I’m in the loop of dying and not getting passed the first boss I’m so confused
As you play you'll earn Dark Quartz, the purple gems in the bottom right. Use those with the Witch NPC to unlock permanent upgrades and continue doing runs. With practice you'll get by the first boss and can advance
I started playing a week ago
Nice
Which is a better game?
Shovel Knight
or
Skul: The Hero Slayer
I don't like the idea of having a chance for dash cooldown to be zero, as a perk or otherwise. How are you supposed to manage that in combat? Something like that should stay predictable, no? Do you keep looking at the icon in the bottom corner, taking your eye of the action? Or do you try it to potentially dodge an enemy attack, it fail, and either get hit, or immediately then have the reflexes to parry or counter attack instead? (I've never played this game, so i dont know the mechanics). There's a reason why other games, in the roguelite genre or otherwise, have never implemented a chance mechanic on an action in a fast-paced action game. Still, it's optional i suppose, and you seem to like it, so maybe it is viable?
The video is old and I think you're talking about Wind Armour? They actually removed the effect it had o it because it was too powerful. It needed a severe nerf. Most roguelikes deal with RNG on items and mechanics. The key is being able to take advantage of how they work. Wind Armour was useful for widening the window that you could gain i-frames.
Power skulls only have a single dash charge, so the window for timing a dash to avoid damage was strict. There was effectively no drawback to mashing the button 2-3 times when trying to dodge, and if the Wind Armour activated, chances are you cleanly avoided all damage. Otherwise you hope your dash was timed correctly to begin with. You didn't necessarily rely on it, it was a buffer to make up for mistakes.
Its true power came from dash focused runs. Typically on Pike and Genie. Both of those skulls have special dashes. Pike charges with a spear and does damage. Genie teleports and leaves a clone behind that strikes enemies. With a handful of other dash-centric items + wind armour those 2 skulls were able to effectively become nigh-invincible murder machines. Hence the VERY big nerf the item received.
The Wind Armour, yes. RNG on which items you get, sure, as well as crit damage, which perks you get on weapons and armour, and other things. But RNG on whether an action that could get you out of trouble may or may not work when you press the button is not good RNG imo. I get that it can be overcome with mashing the dash button for the chance at another dash in quick succession, but imo that isn't good game design (not to say that the rest of the game isn't).
It does sound like it could get a bit OP from how you describe it, and that's why the developer removed it, but it could also be partly the reason I mentioned, and it being too random when you're in the thick of things. But what do I know. Like I said, I haven't played the game (I plan to at some point though).
Also, I know it's an "old" video (if a year old is old), but let me assure you, I have no issue with commenting on old videos (a lot older than a year old anyway). I don't care if hardly anybody sees them 😁. Btw, you make great content 😉
Champion Magic Run with Mage Circlet Spam Parry When?
You say it like one can just run into parry champion. But yeah Mage's Necklace Champion is deadass busted.
When is the console release happening?
Devs have said mid-October is their goal. So very soon if that's the goal. Late October at worst. There's a chance it could be November if problems occur.
tbh this game is hard ealy game ;(
BEEEEEEELZ
I lagh my ass of because of that "Pathetic"
Also damn son I can’t speak in your streams anymore cause I’m on mobile and can’t change setting still do get on when I can but silent unless I use chunks
Is there a penalty to picking rookie mode?
None whatsoever. The only difference is you take 50% less damage. It's a good way to learn the game and you can turn it off/on whenever you want during a run. You can keep it on forever or turn it off when you're ready for a challenge. Thanks to the fact the game doesn't actually change based on difficulty you'll be learning everything normally. Just with a magical ''take 50% less damage'' buff.
@@Beelz55 thanks for replying! Great content, keep it up!
For me by far the biggest problem is how many buttons there are. Jump, Attack, okay. Dash? Already it's getting tricky. Consumable item? Oh man I have to remember to use that. And then you throw in two more active abilities? So now my fingers really have to move around a lot instead of just staying on one button? And THEN space bar, for changing into a whole different Skull with its own abilities? It's just A LOT, really hard for me to get a hang of it. So I skip consumable items, build more passive items, and go for Skuls with just one ability to make it simpler. I don't like dashing at all
Can't count the number of times I reflexively spam Space to jump but then I turn into a different Skull and get confused. Soo many buttons, it's like playing a rythm game on a keyboard
Alright, so Rookie Mode it is then. XD
I have a question mr. Beelzy Wheelzy, how come You are so great? *insert beelzCute emote* UwU (i'm so sorry)
Thank You for the tips mate, hope You're doing alright ^^
Hey beelz, hoy are YOU today?
Not bad dude!
Pls Steel Golem run.
✨Engagement✨
Man why do the last boss have 3 phases... I killed him 2 times... I died after because i was with 3 hp... :'(
If You want to, i strongly recommend joining our Discord server, people in there will gladly give You some tips for beating him if You want to. I'm not pushing You into anything tho so good luck on Your next attempt and i'm sure that with enough practise You'll be able to nail the fight and come out victorious. Learning Hero's patterns is extremely important and since he's so speedy, it takes a little longer to get used to the timing ^^
There’s plenty of ways you can further optimize your build to accommodate for better offense or defense, and Ghosty is right in saying that asking people in the discord is the best way to find some help currently.
