Cursed skulls are difficult to approach as they will cast | 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. | ||

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. | ||
