These skulls are found in the upper floors of [[Lady Jannath's Estate]]. They cast {{SAI|Thunderwave}} when a player character is nearby, making them difficult to evade. The skulls see through {{SAI|Invisibility}} and similar effects.
These skulls are found in the upper floors of [[Lady Jannath's Estate]]. They cast {{SAI|Thunderwave}} when a player character is nearby, making them difficult to evade. The skulls ignore {{SAI|Invisibility}} and similar effects.


Due to their vulnerability to bludgeoning damage, they are easy to destroy from a safe distance.

Cursed skulls are difficult to approach as they will cast {{SAI|Thunderwave}} against nearby creatures. Therefore it's advised to simply throw a bludgeoning weapon at them which has the "thrown" trait. A simple [[Light Hammer]] thrown by a character with decent [[strength]] is sufficient to kill a skull in one blow.

Alternatively, casting {{SAI|Remove Curse}} will remove the {{Cond|Cursed Skull}} status from the skull, preventing them from casting thunderwave. However, this requires being within range of the skulls attack. One method of applying remove curse is using {{SAI|Misty Step}} to blink to a location outside of the skulls line of sight, then casting from behind or from the side if you position yourself carefully.
