'''Cursed Skulls''' are found in the upper floors of [[Lady Jannath's Estate]]. They cast [[Thunderwave]] when a player character is nearby, making them difficult to evade. The skulls ignore [[Invisibility]] and similar effects. | |||
Due to their vulnerability to bludgeoning damage, they are easy to destroy from a safe distance. | 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 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. [[Eldritch Blast]] is also a good option since the skulls are also vulnerable to force damage. | |||
Alternatively, casting [[Remove Curse]] will remove the {{Cond|Cursed Skull}} status from a skull, preventing it from casting Thunderwave. However, this requires being within range of the skull's attack. One method of applying remove curse is using [[Misty Step]] to blink to a location outside of the skull's line of sight, then casting from behind or from the side if you position yourself carefully. | |||
Casting the ritual spell [[Silence]] on a skull will entirely neutralise its thunderwave attack. | |||
[[Ne'er Misser]] with a character that has high enough [[Dexterity]] can also kill it in one blow without going near it. | |||
