#SKUL THE HERO SLAYER ARACHNE UPGRADE#
Some of my best runs have been upgrading common/rare skulls! however, the skull upgrades do *not* persist between runs - it's a roguelike! The thing you get to keep between runs is your Dark Quartz upgrades (which are pretty baller, tbh).īasically the trade-off in this game is, do I upgrade the common skulls that I can find easily and potentially "waste" bone fragments (but have a smoother early/mid game because my skulls power up earlier) or do I specifically try to hunt Unique/Legendary skulls and break down the other skulls? It adds a level of decision making and strategy into the game, because you can even use Skul with the right items/quintessence well into the 3rd or 4th stages (one of my fastest Ent kills is with Skul, in fact). Also im pretty sure you dont get bone fragments from enemies you only get bone fragments from destroying skulls or harpie lady which in my experience has given me 25 bone fragments.Ĭommon skulls become Rare skulls when upgraded, Rare becomes Unique, and Unique becomes Legendary. I suggest you decide on what skull you are going to keep upgrading from normal to legendary the more you progress through a run from the start of the run, since switching skulls mid run is very risky and might screw up a chemistry you already made. Yes, its expensive to level up from rare to unique and even more from unique to legendary, but the more you play the more you can manage around the skulls and items.
The buffs are usually shown when you hover over the skull in your inventory menu.Īrachne is the one that moves your game since not always you are lucky enough to get a legendary or unique skull.
All skulls get buffed when upgraded by Arachne and yes even the ones that go from common to rare.
