Dark Little Bone really should be a playable skull after beating his boss battle

Honestly I’d love to be given his skul upon beating him at level 10. And it would be especially awsome if you could get him at the start by interacting with the statue. He’d be especially broken as well being a legendary out the gate, which i feel would be the best end game reward. One final skull that will allow you to break the game like a twig.

The thumbnail is undoubtedly genius. Anyone who doesn't know about it would think it's just a normal Skul thumbnail, maybe with a little editing to "make it look like Skul is a menace to that boss". But anyone who knows can clearly see what the video is all about. Did you have an "a-ha!" moment with that realisation when making that thumbnail? :D

Thanks for taking the half hour to show the whole fight, it’s wild how much a defensive build can utterly destroy bosses while making it look like you’re doing nothing special just because it takes SO LONG. Makes it a lot easier to tell what he’s doing now that you’ve given me a chance to see it 100 times for every move, always appreciated man.

@@Beelz55 I think Arthur might actually be the worst for screen clutter, he’s already got so much built into his kit, it only takes one or two items to really fuck your retinas. It’s wild because with Herc, I was able to get to phase two with no issue, but even with skill spam it’s still borderline impossible to out DPS him without having the fight take (like in this case) a half hour. Speed runner brain go BRRRRRR lmfao

I like how the Dark Skul fight is literally all three of his archetypes. The first phase with the club is his balance form. Phase 2 he has speed form with the spear and power form with the fist. Overall a well designed fight. Fun cosmetic would be to look like Dark Skul's forms after beating him on 10. For a tier list idea, instead of how strong, how about how fun it is to play the skull? We all know Heracles going to be S tier after that video showcase. :P

@@krazykuz13cmc I know. Like I said, HIS tier list. All tier lists are subjective but he has been playing this game for over 1000 hours so there is experience to recommend for newer folk.

I'm glad you ALSO agree that each of this Boss's forms are clearly 'Balance', 'Power', and 'Speed' skull based. It's a great design decision. Also, as I mentioned before, definitely just makes me REEEEALLY want them to make these boss forms as playable skulls! So many animations and moves already there! I also appreciate that he even has 'Swaps' between each skull, just like YOU swap skulls, complete with their own swap skills/attacks. On to the actual video, this is an excellent guide and showcase. Very informative. Definitely the most important thing for winning this fight is to NOT PANIC. That said, I'm terrible at that and ALWAYS PANIC so this fight tends to be real messy for me. Still fun though! It's definitely a great boss to challenge, and I GREATLY APPRECIATE that as long as you BEAT THE HERO, your run counts as 'finished' for the purposes of beating Mirror levels etc. So everything past the Hero is a sort of victory lap/bonus challenge. That is VERY nice.

i do wish the dark skul fight was placed a bit earlier just due to the fact you can only use the items from his fight for a single fight after so you don't get to check them out for very long maybe even let them be picked up before the fight itself (I know that feels weird to do for a couple reasons)

I just think the last two buffs, both dark skul, and the witch buff, are placed way too late in the run to be interesting or useful.

I had a dream where I was watching a video of you playing as the evil Skul... Maybe watching your videos before I fall asleep is getting to me

Thank you Beelz for the very informative boss overview. Its also kind of crazy how much damage the meteor dive/strike move on phase 2 when i watched the 2nd King run. You litereally had a surplus of 100+ HP and you got hit and dragged across the screen and it dealt over 100+ damage instantly taking ur first life (i assume it would reach over 150 if you had full HP and also prolly a guaranteed 1 shot on diff 10 regardless how chonky your HP is without dmg reduction) and that was in diff 0. That move also gives me Elden Ring PTSD cuz of that meteor dive from Radahn🤣

You are the Steve Irwin of Skul.

I'm really excited to see the masterwork trait upgrade

Beelz really said " If you are using someone as hunter" I just CANNOT imagine me playing hunter vs this Boss man... BUT i would love if you did a hunter run !!

Love it! I would really like that same approach with Alexander! That fight also get really hectic. My main issue, is that when I get to these boss, there's so much effect on the screen I can't see anything at all (thinking about Alchemist here).

reminds me of the reason i subbed and continue watching you on twitch. my brother and i discovered skul on top10 vids. and we went for your skul guide videos ❤️

Thanks for the video Beelz! While I've beaten him a few times, he's also ended a lot more runs, this guy is freaking tough. Glad to hear your thoughts and advice though. Personally, tank builds are fine against him, stacking damage reduction in particular is a must because at DM10 his first phase hits can hit for up to 60 damage, if anything I think tank builds are the most optimal and safest way to beat him, squishier high damage builds are insanely risky because some of his attacks literally one shots an entire life bar. (that ultimate attack has done like 150+ at higher dm levels I remember) My main gripe is that in his hornet form some of his attacks are literally undodgeable for power skulls. I also practiced against him earlier, found that his first form and big fist form are fine, every attack can be dodged even with single dashes, but hornet form is pretty much impossible to dodge certain attacks

Holy shit Beelz. After watching your video, I finally beat the secret boss on DM10 after struggling with him for like 4 hours straight. I'm still having trouble with his speed form movement, but goddamn thank you so much because I'm avoiding stuff way better after seeing all your tips.

Check Haxa out, he's pretty entertaining as well!

Something neat that I noticed about Dark Skul’s forms is that not only do they each represent the balance, power and speed archetypes, they each also fight similar to the First Hero’s different form. Balance form takes after the First Hero’s phase one while Power from takes after the First Hero’s phase two holy armor form in base game. Speed form takes after the First Hero’s dark mirror phase two, but also takes after their base game phase three as well.

It would be cool if we get playable versions of dark skul's forms

I do love how some of us wanted the Demon Lord Skul we saw in the first ending to be playable or as a Boss and now we got him as a boss and he's fucking up everyone's shit lmao

if they gave us dark SKul they should make it's rarity omen/cursed which also could then give us cursed quint since atm we only have omen/ cursed items and dark powers

I only just beat Alexander and oh my fucking god am I exhausted. I reset using said game cheese no less than like 4 times. It was a run using both Reaper and Ice Skull with a shit ton of crit damage from 2 hunters longbows and over 1.2k% magic damage on my reaper, alongside wisp to reset CDs so I was mostly invincible, alongside Cat-Ice and just so much damage amplification it was insane. Up until then I had never even beaten his first phase and I was appalled at how fucking much more there was to do. Real talk, None of this was ever designed to be balanced on DM-10. I am not good at Skul and will acknowledge it but HOLY SHIT WAS Alexander such a total pain in the ass even with a build which was able to kill Dark First Hero in less than 2 minutes, with sub 50 damage taken. I haven't seen Dark Skul but I already spoiled it for myself by looking through the steam achievements anyway, I presume he replaces Alexander from what I saw in the video meaning that I never have to face this stupid fucker again. The Alexander Fight was pretty damn good don't get me wrong, even with how spammy most of his attacks felt, but If I could go back I would've 100% put the game on like DM-4 or maybe even 1 or 0 had I known just how fucking long Alexander's fight was. I only barely made it because I still managed to have reassemble by the time I reached his final duel with base skul. I am SO FUCKING exhausted. I definitely could get better at Skul but this game is taxing as all hell to learn because you have to effectively manageboth your micro and macro gameplay very consistently, and as I learned the hard way when Demon Defense first came out, RUST is a very big factor in how well you do in this game. I've mostly shaken it off by now of course, but if you are not prepared this game will mercilessly kill you on any mirror above 5. I think I'm gonna take my own advice and only fight Dark skul on the lower mirrors like 3-4 for now, that is if I go back to Skul at all anytime soon because the base story has concluded, and while I am eager to 100% my achievements again, I'm also BONE-tired after the colossal pain in the ass that was Alexander. I seriously did not have much fun during that fight if I'm entirely honest, so many of his attacks demanded solid muscle memory and reaction time, neither of which I had much of due to a combination of Rust and assuming he only had 1 phase, or 2 phases, or 3 phases......I think The fight dragged on way too fucking long to be 100% transparent.

Dark Skul should absolutely be a playable Skull, but only if you beat him on Level 10. And he’s only playable in Level 10.

This video is great and super helpful thank you.... BUT I could just grapple him into oblivion before he can do anything

And, just like that, an endless onslaught was turned into a bunch of avoidable moves and combos. Great video ) Also damn that's a cool fight, when you aren't feeling like you're being bullied in the corner by the three biggest guys in the school xD

Beelz on his difficulty 10 training arc

Thanks for the walkthrough of the 'Secret' boss fight Beelz. It may be a bit of a spoiler but considering I've only ever beaten Dad once with Shield-boi and your recommended tankyness build I'm unlikely to see him any time soon. Keep being awesome!

It would be so cool if after collecting every single bone for Dark Skul, you unlocked him as a legendary upgrade for lil Skul or something, as a prize for going all the way through!

man i am kind of tempted always just to get hit by the second phase ultimate move just to see the attack lol it's such a sick attack . . .though if you get hit by it the hp just disappears and that is on difficulty 0 . . . man this fight is scary even after you learn it . . . it was only a short while ago that dark dad- ehem dark hero fight was scary and the last hard thing to get through . . . now we have this monster to beat to finish the run

damn, this deserves to be on skillshare xD btw treasure is very rewarding to max out and relic is kinda circumstantial (though its pretty good if you have the clerics bible and the bishops scripts)

Intro was savage 😂

It would be great if after doing this fight you could find each of the little bone versions in game

Omg brain blast moment what if . we just slimed our way to victory

a little disappointed his move set doesn't change. but its still a really cool fight and thanks for tips to the fight i got wrecked when i tried him last couple of times

So we all want a playable dark mirror skul boy and I hope southpaw does it or maybe a mod. It would be SO SICK if the mechanic was to swap between balance, speed, and power forms on the fly. Also, thanks for the breakdown Beelz.

secret no dash run better than secret boss

So now that this video is out I think the reward for this fight is you get the dark skul as a skull to use in runs. But probably comes at the cost of only being able to use dark skul

Oh i wanna say this, i found clone stamp for the first time since dark mirror released earlier today.

Hello, you should try to get the extra buff from the witch for treasure. it's one if not the best in my opinion^^

Now can you do this but with Alexander? That ultimate attackn on phase one always hit me

Am already at 7 after my Alchemist Oberon run, the grind will continue.

The fact this was on DARK MIRROR 0, and took 30 minutes despite "okay" damage output (400%) is honestly scaring the fuck outta me. I am 100% taking another break from this game before I fight this man.

@@Beelz55 I find that to be dependent on health values more than anything honestly. DM10 Dad has 143k HP and I've got no clue how much Dark Skul has on that difficulty. I can safely Ssy there is no way he will piss me off as much as Alexander though, since the whole time I was fighting him I was just like, SH*T Man, ANOTHER PHASE?!?!?!?!?! PS. If you exit game cancel Alexander you have to REDO THE ENTIRE FIGHT. Even if you Exit game during his 1v1 duel with Little Bone Skul, you start back all the way at Phase 1.

Definitly fun end cool fight, but it will become more harder if you bringing flashy item lol

Just did level 5 mirror dark skul with yaksha and olive tree stick. with trait for powers skulls and Raksasha field. with dark power for dmg reduction(forgot the name) you will have 65% dmg reduction when hit, and if you die you will get additional 20% dmg reduction from olive tree stick. so i just stood there taking like 3-5 dmg and also any barrier on skill is amazing, you will take almost no dmg. So yea, fuck the dark skul.

SKULLLLLLL YES :D

Let me awnser the video title: Hercules skill spam build. XD

1 thing I kinda hoped after seeing phase 2 and all the forms. Give skul death trap in his balance form, because why the fuck not?

I still ain't beaten the last boss in the OG game XD

Hey beelz, a suggestion for the speed skul mode. I find it easier to dodge his random "appears behind you, uppper cut you with his lance" move when I dodge towards him for the first move and use mobility to get out of the second part of the move when dark skul is in speed form. Try this out to see if it works for you :)

@Beelz55

7 ай бұрын

That works really well to make sure grounded moves miss. I have a tendency to jump a bit slow and it results in him turning around and hitting me with something else. For example he spins the spear at me, then does a diagonal rising charge and clips me as I go up. Silly things like that. But I'll probably alternate between the styles until one sticks better. I think he does the spin more frequently so its probably better to dodge first.

@rice126

@@Beelz55 Fair. I usually stay grounded after the dodge if he does the horizontal charge first bc a lot of his moves (beam, ground spikes) is pretty easy to react to so I just jump if those move does come out.

I only know how to do this bc me and ghosty have been testing the crap out of this fight recently xD But yea, speed form does require some reaction speed lul

Indeed an awesome fight. Played it always at Diff 10, always took Last Resistance. Many Losses, Some Wins. I feel that you need at least an increase of 1000% in physical/Magical damage for a minimun of chance. I've tried it with Dark Avenger and Specter, Relic+, and Wisdom. I've won AND played the fight feeling, if not equal, on the same standing. (I've lost with Alchemist instead, I feel that Martial Skulls have it better at dodging instead of Caster ones). My good side is a state of "trance" I enter when fighting a boss which has a fast attack pattern, I do not think I act sort of. Speed Form has the Spear Floor that is difficult, but it was the only one. Balance Form has some Knockback attacks that can break my trance, but still good to approach. Power Form is much Slower, and it can stunlock you into combos. That is my weakness. But surely, now that I've practiced a lot, and surely thanks to this video, I feel I COULD try to do it with every Skull (I Fear Gargoyle, Ninja and Yaksha turns...). So, yeah. Let's Have a Good One! P.S. You can read the Fragments effects once you pick them in the scroll menu under dark abilities. They have Lore... kinda...

You have to collect all of the enriched dark quartz items hidden throughout the game. 1) in the shop, feed the cat, drop down the hole he normally rests over. Have to run to it while the cat eats. 2) First Arachne room, drop down onto a springy mushroom just underneath the hole above you. 3) After Yggdrasil is beaten, there's a dark patch of grass before you enter the Castle. Jump on it until the floor breaks. 4) Before you enter the Sisters boss fight, destroy the wall to the right side of the room (it'll look cracked). 5) After beating Chimaera and jumping down the hole, go left instead of right (opposite Arachne). 6) Before you fight the last Adventurer battle in Act 4, drop down the hole and hug to the right. You'll land safely near the final enriched quartz. Finally take all 6 of these to the very end. As you walk through the castle to get to Alexander you'll find the object and the quartz will all land inside of it.
