To safely farm Dark and Darker Items and increase your supply of Dark And Darker Gold, you'll need a solid strategy for dealing with Death Skulls before they overwhelm you.

1. Use Magic or Enchanted Weapons

Since Death Skulls have high resistance to physical damage, normal melee weapons are less effective. Instead, consider using:

  Fire and Holy Magic Spells – Fire-based magic works well, as flames disrupt spectral entities.

  Magic-Infused Weapons – Enchanted swords and axes with arcane properties deal extra damage to spirits.

  Ranged Attacks – Bows and crossbows can help keep your distance while chipping away at their health.

2. Stay Mobile to Avoid Magic Attacks

The Death Skull's energy bolts are powerful, but they move in a predictable straight line. By:

  Strafing left and right, you can dodge incoming projectiles.

  Using cover, such as pillars and walls, to break line of sight.

  Jumping or ducking to evade projectiles when fighting in open spaces.

3. Bait Them into Melee Combat

While Death Skulls prefer ranged attacks, some can be baited into moving closer, making them easier to attack. Using a shield or movement skill to close the gap can allow melee fighters to land heavy blows.

4. Bring Magic Resistance Gear

Equipping Dark and Darker Items that provide magic resistance can help reduce incoming damage from Death Skull projectiles. Some useful items include:

  Mystic Cloak – Increases arcane resistance and reduces spell damage taken.

  Enchanted Amulet – Grants protection against magical projectiles.

  Magic-Absorbing Ring – Lowers damage from gold chest dark and darker curse-inflicting enemies.
