I finally did it. Unlocked Gains, killed the bone ball thing and barely survived the level with Red Mask all in one go. That was freaking insane. Took me forever to figure it out. What I used was Pentagram, daggers, garlic, laurels, axe/syth and only was able to get the blue gun. If it wasn't for that red reaper moving as fast as he does, I would have never accomplished all three. That got my heart pumping.
I was able to destroy it but not like in the video, I just played my normal game and when it was strong enough there I went to look for it and I was able to kill it. Maybe before it had less life or it depends on the level but as in the video it is no longer possible to do it.
For those who already spent several hours trying to get the Scroll: get rid of the Curse, go for Leda + Game Killer + all of the weapons from the merchant. This is what finally worked for me. The ball was dead in less than 7 mins.
"Get rid of the curse"....what does that mean? How do you get rid of it? Tried everything else you listed but after 8 minutes, the bone boss started growing substantially
I don't know if this could help some of you but this is how i killed Sketamari; Played the Red Death with only 1 weapon (being Death Spiral), used the Slash arcana for crits on Death Spiral (x4 the actual dmg). Then went for these 3 mains passive items : Clover (for luck & more crits), Spinach (for more dmg) and the Empty Tome (for cd%). Killed it under 10mins, the Death Spiral makes it easy to clear mobs. I guess it should work playing Lama as well since she's using axes (:
@@WildAndRecklessDrAw This worked wonders for me! After the Slash arcana I found the other arcana that gives you perks for only having one active weapons and the bone ball died in like a minute or two
Random trivia. The quality of enemy the Katamari Ball eats doesn't seem to matter. I thought it maybe added all the HP of enemies rolled over, but it's just some predetermined amount per enemy consumed. I waited until 30min before engaging it and let it eat a Red Reaper and was still able to kill it easily thereafter. This also means letting the ball roll over abundant farming waves full of small enemies will make it huge.
More fun trivia. You can physically push the ball around. This is obviously very damaging and lethal without Laurel though. Pushing the ball into the Merchant does nothing.
@@jaeusa160 i see. Do you know anyway to get red death directly/indirectly using cheat codes? Like give myself an op chracter or traits to best him. I just killed the skeleton ball early game with peachon and ebony wings combined. Im surprised no one tried it before though
What he might have forgotten to mention, is that this is incredibly RNG dependent. For example his attempt with Gains Boros only works if you get very lucky with your passive drops on levelling. If you don't get wings, you'll be lucky to catch the ball before 1:45 and dodging mobs whilst trying to keep the sword hitting the ball is very tricky.
I tried all and more characters, normal and hard mode, it's just impossible, there comes a point where it starts to grow and never dies. The game was entertaining at first but after this and blocking half of the content in a "secret" way, I lost all the desire to play.
I GOT MINE WITH GENNARO! Super easy, just need to keep trying and you will get a lucky run. Just upgrade damage and projectiles. Hope to evolve the knives, took me 12mins! (And 20 tries) Good luck!! 🍀
FIRST TRY GENNARO! YOU'RE A GENIUS BRO! I took arcana like in video and spinach + toronas'box and evovled knifes! it took ~12 mins whole run!!! i've just leveled me up and then killed that f** peace of shit
Right I thought I was going crazy. When I look at the map I only see the upgrade guy nothing else. The entire level is empty I dont get what we're supposed to do?
"Set up for high speed and high starting damage and run for it at the start of the level". There, saved everyone over 10 minutes. If you wanna know the details, the Skelemari starts with about 10,000 HP, regains health when it crushes enemies, and probably gets 1.03x more health every minute like the other monsters on this map.
Was trying Red death and couldn't kill it in 6 minutes after the mob spawn raised significantly and the ball started growing, so i gave up, done >300k damage overall and still it didn't die
@TehAmelie I've changed to a negative projectile speed guy and killed it under 3min. Also, while try by red death found the way to hit 4-5 times per cast simply standing a little above the ball, since the cast goes spiral in the end it has more projectiles than at the beginning
For anyone looking fo another method, I JUST managed to beat it: I went with Gennaro. Apart from Knives, I chose Magic Wand, Santa Water, Runetracer, Lightning Ring, and Song of Mana. I maxed everything but the Magic Wand because I went for the Crown too to get all the exp I could. I managed to max everything at the 20 min mark while I slowly made my way down the map. At 20 min I purposefully looked for the question mark, I was already close, and managed to get a new Arcana and I went for Game Killer (previously chose XVI and II). When I found the skelematari, it took like 3 minutes I think, maybe 4 min max. FINALLY.
Lama method worked perfectly. Axes + duplicator + tome for base. During killing i grabbed revivals and spinach. It tooked me like 10 minutes of constant hitting
Maybe one of this tricks worked 1-3 years back but I've tried every single one and played for 4 hours, not even close to completing It. Either you made It pre-patched, cheated or got luckier than the luckiest person on earth.
None of these methods work anymore. Red Death doesn't seem to have the DPS, and Leda is so slow now it takes almost 5 mins to get to the ball. By that time there are so many mobs on the screen her projectiles are all over the place and not all hitting the ball. Really, really frustrated,
@@ChipCheerio Apparently not anymore. Shot it for about 20 minutes and still didn't die, only grew larger and larger. None of the guides worked for me so far :-/
If you are from 2024, just pump yourself up to full strength then go deal with it, clearing mob around it helps, this includes mob in front or behind it. Get a lot of aoe and you should clear it fast
So I retracted my original comment I have a way that someone can tear the skelly ball apart in seconds especially if you don't have red death or anything high power 1. I went with gennaro since he +1 all projectiles it makes a big difference 2. The items I used to kill it is la borra, heavenly sword, thousand knives and the lightning evolution (I had the garlic upgrade thing too you don't have to use it I just used it to keep a buffer between me and the enemies it helps immensely) 3. It may be time consuming but get all the necessary items that you're able which means fight fight and more fighting I'll include the combos below *Heavenly sword- clover and cross *La borra- Santa water and the orb that pulls items to you I can't remember the name *The lightning evolution- duplicator ring and the lightning item And of course we all know the thousand sword combo lol What this all does is amazing the la borra can pretty much keep the ball in a constant state of hurt preventing any Skelly's to get near it, the heavenly sword does massive amounts of damage especially since it crit hits and moves around a large area protecting you and hurting the ball lastly the lightning upgrade pretty much is overkill it blasts quite a bit of enemies around you keeping your area wide open and of course the knives annihilate it
i did it with morrabbio and slash, took around 2:50- i had the gold bar, duplicator, candle, cooldown reduction tome and bracer (sort of just took whatever popped up, bracer and candle seem to work wonders)
I have no idea what I am doing wrong. I tried this exact guide, used red death, since he is really fast and his burst dmg hits all enemies trying to merge with the ball. I even get duplicator twice while running to him. Then I kill every single enemy that approaches the ball, nothing touches it, but the ball will not die in time. After 2/3 minutes, the red floating skulls show up, and there are way too many of them and will get absorbed. In my game it seems the ball has way more HP than in this vid. I also made sure I did not spent any points in curse.
@@CidHighwind while a more lengthy route you can take Corridor and single target weapons like thousand edge and holy Wand. The rest just mass clear. Corridor halfs enemy hp each time and the 2 single targets will keep the ball in place. The aoe is just to screen kill all enemies
Red death does work still just took around 6 minutes. Fairly upgraded by that point but once you get to the phase with the turrets that shoot it gets way easier. Was about to give up but then got it
Ok this might be a long post, but please read it OK? So, me and my friend are playing this game, me on PC he on Xbox, and we're playing side by side so we can see each other's screen. I spent the good amount of an afternoon on this stage, and it was a nightmare. After the 10 minute mark I can't seem to kill anything, no matter how strong I make my character, and the Bone Ball just get bigger and bigger and bigger, and with all the unkillable monsters around I end up dying a miserable death everytime. My friend, who is a little behind since he only plays when he's at my house, decided to try that stage for the first time, since he had just unlocked it. He used Cavallo (the panda). He doesn't even use arcanas, cause he thinks it's "too much trouble". Well, for WHATEVER REASON, the stage was on ULTRA easy mode for him. He took his sweet time gathering resouces and leveling up, his shots cutting through monsters like hot knife on butter, killiing them almost instantly ever after the 10 minute mark, and when he decided to fight the bone ball, he killed it in secounds. We were astonished. I still don't understand what happened. I seached the internet trying to figure out why such a huge difference in our experiences but no one seem to know anything, not even make any mention to an easier method. No exploit, no bug, nothing! The consensus seem to be that that is in fact the hardest stage of the game. Even if there are some work arounds, like the method on this video, it would take him much more time to unlock the necessary resoucers (which he didn't have at his disposal when he tried). So why it suddenly became so easy for him? Did any of you experienced something like that? Is that even possible?
If you are using inverse the enemies HP is increased, and you may be using Curse which makes the enemies tougher. The bone ball wants to eat up enemies, meaning a strong build can kill him before you even get to see him, but a weaker build or having a ton of enemies around can lead to fast growth. Also XBox may be behind in patches and I know it has a lot of issues, so there is that. Bone Ball used to have way less HP and now it's I think at 100k. Without seeing an actual comparison there is little to say about it
@@DexTag I think you just solved the mystery, friend. I don't know why we didn't try this before, but I played the level on Xbox (since gamepass games share saves between Pc and Xbox) and guess what... Made it, first try! It was a walk in the park, monsters didn't stand a chance. Because it's a recent release people might not be aware of this, but yeah, this level is a joke on Xbox, at least until they patch it. Spread the word ;)
I was able to do with with Poppea and playing normally for 20 mins, a few people mentioned this. Go for high damage , I also got a laurel for defense and then just peddled as close as I could to the ball and beat it within a few minutes. No arcanas needed or special items/secret characters.
I rushed it with Red Death and didn't realise just what i had gotten myself into, i think i killed it with clockwork and the pistols eventually. Same for me, i noticed it getting bigger but i had no idea what it meant.
I defeated it using Smith+No Future+Thousand Knives with all curse passives maxed. After watching this video, I feel stupid and proud at the same time.
i found out that for new player which have only 1 reroll, no arcanas and no merchant, but everything from the basic upgrades in the store except revive and curse, it's possible to kill this ball by only using Concetta Caciotta , not sure from which mission i got him, probably he was one of the "?" heroes on the map in some stage, must enable hyper mode, then level up to level 3 or 4 on start, hopefully will get +1 to projectiles and song of mana, and then to go down & right, then once below the ball, must move bottom right & then up & it will shoot projectiles into him, must keep doing that rapidly while being a bit in front bottom of the ball, will kill him on around mid 3rd or 4th minute even if unlucky with level ups Lama is impossible for new player since damage is way way lower than on the video
Ok, this is way to complicated if you're like me, just a casual noob with not many special unlocks yet. I came to this video after an embarrassing attempt at killing the ball, I stopped the video after a few seconds, seeing it's not for me, I decided to just just go for the evolved knife. You can really choose whatever character you like, Gennaro is nice with extra projectile and guaranteed knife, take whatever other skills you want to keep your back clear while killing the ball, I had Magic Wand, Cross, Firewand, Lightning Strike and Santa Water, but I imagine it will work with pretty much any skill setup. Level up while moving south, once you have evolved knife, go stand in front of the ball, you will attack so fast it get's pushed back, it will be dead within 30 seconds.
You guys want an easy way to beat the boss? No cheats? Pugnala Provola with Gemini and Silent Old Sanctuary. Easiest thing you'll have to do. Nothing can touch the boss and the damage output is INSANE. You get three weapons in one thus gaining the full benefit from Old Sanctuary. I'm chilling on 245%might.
For everyone struggling: Take Red Death, grab Spinach, Tome and Wand on the way to him. Disable all Curse powerups, disable hyper mode. Then the key to defeating him is to constantly circle him and prevent all enemies from reaching him. Dont do it like the guides you find where people just walk in one spot in front of him.
Go for Leda but itll take roughly 6 minutes Red Death is one of the worst ones out of them damage wise, the good part about him was the movement speed but the bone ball has more HP now
@@DexTag I just tried Gains Boros, and that one also doesn't work. I don't have a 'Leda' character yet. I guess the developers watched your video and made the game a lot harder.
I tried the Red Death method and had no luck. Then I tried leveling and evolving all my weapons then heading to to skele-ball and killed it ab a minute. It was easy with No Future. If u kill all the enemies before they get to the ball, it doesn’t get any bigger. Hope this helps
Don’t worry iOS users! (Or android probably as well) took about 15 mins with the whip. Just followed underneath him and whipped him to death and he dropped eventually.
Tried Red Death and Marrabbio with over 200% Might... went from 50secs to 5+min with no sign of defeating.... Any updates on this would appreciated::: Update: Used Red Death and Sanctuary and reset until I got Red Tome to Max Cooldown, plus a little spinach and a Bracer... took approx 8min
i've seen recent comment and they say with leda it takes about 6 minuets but the thing is that leda's shots are not homing to the ball like in the video so its harder
@@DexTag I mean that’s what I meant but it doesn’t lock into the ball thingy, anyways after suffering enough I actually beat him with Leda so thank you.
I don't understand the secret scroll that dropped there. In the Main menu I can enter codes, like PureFlower or whatever it was and nothing happens after. Sorry If I missed the vid about that
I've been trying to beat this dude for the last 10 minutes. He is taking up half of my screen. That's how big he has gotten and he just will not die. I started fighting him at 16 minutes in and I am at 28 minutes in now. What am I doing wrong
for anyone struggling what worked for me was porta locked at level 1 using the game killer tarot card. you have to keep the enemies from touching it. what a huge pain in the ass
Okay this is not working at all. Every upgrade maxed. Spinach 3 Duplicator 2 and Reaper with no Curse or Hyper... I'm here at 4 minutes watching this thing still rolling. Did this get patched? What's wrong here?!
Updated. Has way more starting HP. I managed to use Leda and kill him by 3 minutes. Dealt 175k damage while getting dup ring, spinach and tome for extra damage!
Just tried it with boros, several times, only one weapon, everything like in the video and I still can't kill it (even had 2 replicator and 2 spinach) :/
I finally did it. Unlocked Gains, killed the bone ball thing and barely survived the level with Red Mask all in one go. That was freaking insane. Took me forever to figure it out.
What I used was Pentagram, daggers, garlic, laurels, axe/syth and only was able to get the blue gun. If it wasn't for that red reaper moving as fast as he does, I would have never accomplished all three. That got my heart pumping.
They have changed something, I did the exact same thing and it never dies.
I playing this on phone but still impossible destroying this ball...i have garlic, song of mana and pentagram on max level but nothing happened😪
I was able to destroy it but not like in the video, I just played my normal game and when it was strong enough there I went to look for it and I was able to kill it.
Maybe before it had less life or it depends on the level but as in the video it is no longer possible to do it.
@@DDDHHytp1 maybe. i just destroyed it, it took a little longer than the author of the video - 2 minutes, but still easy
I do the same as the video, I don't stop attacking and I get to about 6 minutes and it doesn't die.

Played the Red Death with only 1 weapon (being Death Spiral), used the Slash arcana for crits on Death Spiral (x4 the actual dmg). Then went for these 3 mains passive items : Clover (for luck & more crits), Spinach (for more dmg) and the Empty Tome (for cd%).

@@WildAndRecklessDrAw This worked wonders for me! After the Slash arcana I found the other arcana that gives you perks for only having one active weapons and the bone ball died in like a minute or two
Random trivia. The quality of enemy the Katamari Ball eats doesn't seem to matter. I thought it maybe added all the HP of enemies rolled over, but it's just some predetermined amount per enemy consumed.
I waited until 30min before engaging it and let it eat a Red Reaper and was still able to kill it easily thereafter.
This also means letting the ball roll over abundant farming waves full of small enemies will make it huge.
More fun trivia. You can physically push the ball around. This is obviously very damaging and lethal without Laurel though.
Pushing the ball into the Merchant does nothing.
Also, the ball can eat chest mobs, and it will NOT drop the chest. I learned this the hard way with the arcana mob...

Its also easy with Pugnala. Just use the base weapons. The ball would get trapped in between her projectiles and would stay in place.
It was the first one I tried, it doesn't have enough damage or the area to let it not catch more skeletons

i found out that for new player which have only 1 reroll, no arcanas and no merchant, but everything from the basic upgrades in the store except revive and curse, it's possible to kill this ball by only using Concetta Caciotta , not sure from which mission i got him, probably he was one of the "?" heroes on the map in some stage, must enable hyper mode, then level up to level 3 or 4 on start, hopefully will get +1 to projectiles and song of mana, and then to go down & right, then once below the ball, must move bottom right & then up & it will shoot projectiles into him, must keep doing that rapidly while being a bit in front bottom of the ball, will kill him on around mid 3rd or 4th minute even if unlucky with level ups
Lama is impossible for new player since damage is way way lower than on the video
Ok, this is way to complicated if you're like me, just a casual noob with not many special unlocks yet.
I came to this video after an embarrassing attempt at killing the ball, I stopped the video after a few seconds, seeing it's not for me, I decided to just just go for the evolved knife. You can really choose whatever character you like, Gennaro is nice with extra projectile and guaranteed knife, take whatever other skills you want to keep your back clear while killing the ball, I had Magic Wand, Cross, Firewand, Lightning Strike and Santa Water, but I imagine it will work with pretty much any skill setup.
Level up while moving south, once you have evolved knife, go stand in front of the ball, you will attack so fast it get's pushed back, it will be dead within 30 seconds.
I did it with poppea, you can trap him in your ray of song of mana
Porta, game killer arcana, and buying off the seller did the trick for me. 👌
Спасибо, добрый человек!)
Porta worked for me. I have the reaper and Gains Boros but I don’t have Silent Old Sanctuary.
I rushed over with meatball and killed it in less that 10 seconds. I think the longer you take to engage it the stronger it becomes.
But what character and weapons. I went to immediately and nothing happened
Not even the pentagram
@@Mental.elevation I used the weapon leda starts with the evolved wand, and took the +3 amount arcana to start
@@manilowgamer ooooh. unfortunately i don't have the character leda yet.
You guys want an easy way to beat the boss? No cheats? Pugnala Provola with Gemini and Silent Old Sanctuary. Easiest thing you'll have to do. Nothing can touch the boss and the damage output is INSANE. You get three weapons in one thus gaining the full benefit from Old Sanctuary. I'm chilling on 245%might.
I have spent hours trying to kill that thing
For everyone struggling:
Take Red Death, grab Spinach, Tome and Wand on the way to him. Disable all Curse powerups, disable hyper mode. Then the key to defeating him is to constantly circle him and prevent all enemies from reaching him. Dont do it like the guides you find where people just walk in one spot in front of him.
thank you
I don’t understand how you guys are doing this. I have Leda and it takes forever. The ball ends up being huge.
I guess v1.0 changed something, because the Red Death strategy doesn't work.
Could you maybe make a new video with working strategies for new players?
Go for Leda but itll take roughly 6 minutes
Red Death is one of the worst ones out of them damage wise, the good part about him was the movement speed but the bone ball has more HP now
@@DexTag I just tried Gains Boros, and that one also doesn't work. I don't have a 'Leda' character yet. I guess the developers watched your video and made the game a lot harder.
Red Death always works. Cuz it's Red Death!
This boss was so annoying THANK YOU
I tried the Red Death method and had no luck. Then I tried leveling and evolving all my weapons then heading to to skele-ball and killed it ab a minute. It was easy with No Future. If u kill all the enemies before they get to the ball, it doesn’t get any bigger. Hope this helps
Don’t worry iOS users! (Or android probably as well) took about 15 mins with the whip. Just followed underneath him and whipped him to death and he dropped eventually.
The Leda tactic still worked for me. Dead at 2:55 total
I did it with poppea with the cooldown arcana and it made quick work of it
None of these are working for me. Did they rework the bone ball?
Lmao this whole time I thought you just fed it enemies I made it sooo far and it became the size of the screen
i managed to kill the bone balk with red death but it took me 5 minutes or so (probably bc i didnt use silent old sanctuary)
I'm assuming there was an update that changed this? Literally did everything exactly the same with red death and i'm at 5 minutes with no kill...
I did over 200 million I’m not kidding I have a clip of proof
I can't
he doesn't dieee. i did 372k damage and nothing
Do we know if the orb that the one enemy fires adds to his health as well or is it only the bodies of the enemies?
Tried Red Death and Marrabbio with over 200% Might... went from 50secs to 5+min with no sign of defeating.... Any updates on this would appreciated:::
Update: Used Red Death and Sanctuary and reset until I got Red Tome to Max Cooldown, plus a little spinach and a Bracer... took approx 8min
I littrely used a cheaty Missin No with negtive hp to try and kill it and it still took like 40 mintutes with a fulled maxed out character
I just did it, with the reaper. Set to one weapon. Took 8 minutes tho
i've seen recent comment and they say with leda it takes about 6 minuets but the thing is that leda's shots are not homing to the ball like in the video so its harder
Ledas shots were never homing, it's the closest target
@@DexTag I mean that’s what I meant but it doesn’t lock into the ball thingy, anyways after suffering enough I actually beat him with Leda so thank you.
U save me bro, thx
I really wanna see you revisit cosmo but with saraband of healing and the gold fever arcana with soul eater
Actually flowers is more in line with the bird isn't it?
Just imagine it, the lil birby that will heal you to death.
Hey i see that u can see stuff like the question mark how can i do that
I just tried it using Ambrojoe and I was not able to kill it. Something may have changed...
I don't understand the secret scroll that dropped there. In the Main menu I can enter codes, like PureFlower or whatever it was and nothing happens after. Sorry If I missed the vid about that
The codes only have effect if you didn't already unlock what they lock.
Tried the Gains Boros thing, died at 5 Minutes with the ball still alive and fine. I did not get god RNG so I didn't get a Duplicator though.
Took me 7:38 with Porta but I didn't have all 5 weapons or all powerups maxed
methods is not working (actual steam version 18.06.23)
I've been trying to beat this dude for the last 10 minutes. He is taking up half of my screen. That's how big he has gotten and he just will not die. I started fighting him at 16 minutes in and I am at 28 minutes in now. What am I doing wrong
this doesnt make sense i was doing so much dmg with red death for 6 mintues straight and he didnt get bigger AT ALL and he didnt die
Get missingno with -100% curse and you can one shot it
vc é pika paizão sucesso pra ti nessa caminhada na vida. fé e bct pra vc🙏🙏🙏🙏
Its possible to do a concetta caciotta, one weapon run with boogaloo of ilusions as first arcana?
is bone ball just broken? none of these methods work for me. the ball rolls forever and ever
for anyone struggling what worked for me was porta locked at level 1 using the game killer tarot card. you have to keep the enemies from touching it. what a huge pain in the ass
Ambrojoe is the way to go :D
I own the Milky Way map. But it doesn't seem to work on the bone zone? Everywhere else I can see about everything. Am I doing anything wrong?
You need the yellow sign, not the milky way map. That being said, he will spawn without it, he just won't show up on the map.
Thank
how do i get to him faster? i walked downward for 10 minutes with level 5 wings and still didnt get close
Why do you say at the merchant "all weapons ate maxed out" they are not? Or do it get something not here? I try all method i cant beat the guy T.T
If you give me a timestamp I can explain
Marrabbio can kill with bouncy Arcana just fine.
Okay this is not working at all. Every upgrade maxed. Spinach 3 Duplicator 2 and Reaper with no Curse or Hyper... I'm here at 4 minutes watching this thing still rolling. Did this get patched? What's wrong here?!
Tried Leda instead and while it took a few minutes, he went down.
None of these items appear on the map for me? Is this a known bug or did they somehow take this out of the game?
Me too
Updated. Has way more starting HP. I managed to use Leda and kill him by 3 minutes. Dealt 175k damage while getting dup ring, spinach and tome for extra damage!
Just don’t let it get more bones ;)
Guide still works. Killed in 3 min with red death
how do you get up to 235% might?
Just tried it with boros, several times, only one weapon, everything like in the video and I still can't kill it (even had 2 replicator and 2 spinach) :/
none of these worked spent over an hour trying and not once loll
Pugnala + Gemini (Arcana) *NO hurry, hyper. GGEZ I kill bone under 10 minute.
get rid curse and speed weapon
pick morabio the tousand blade of darknes
go to ? mark
stay in front of him while move slowly ezkill
Is he supposed to get bigger?
i just went up to it with red death and killed him in like 3 minutes and he didnt grow or anything for some reason
How do you keep porta at level 1
Arcana got it
I hope my comment helps anyone that is struggling killing the sketamari
tldr- Get Silent old sanctuary
it doesnt die.... it keeps getting bigger
Was incredibly easy for me first time, I just used Gallo + Ice Explosions. Didn't even have Infinite Corridor.
?? That power doesn't even attack him
none of them works today i'm kinda sad and mad :c
how about with a normal character
