I am entering skull castle for the first time and just thought i would see if there was any friendly advice out there.

Have fun and make sure you create a portal right at the entrance.

thanks for the tip. I just went through the first battle, and good lord, i am a hack and slash jump right in the middle of the fray kinda guy, but that was crazy. There was like 20 skeletons and a few zombies, figures i had to put the monster level on hard before i did that too.

One last thing. Try to have as many characters with the Crusade trait before you start Skull... it pays off.

If you're playing a solo game, don't get crusade. It will greatly unbalance the game and it will be way to easy after that.

Lots of Lubrication, and don't forget the cheesedip.

If all else fails, run around your room screaming about ghosts until family/friends start a W&W intervention to prevent the onset of insanity.

Like most games, Blunt weapons are extra effective against walking dead, fire is good as well. It took me 20 times to kill the vampire nest, mainly for the fun of it since it was not required to solve the map.

And don't forget to collect skulls, it's always nice to collect skulls, even if you never plan to go back to the first town ever again, it's great to say "Look world! I'm carring 100+ human skulls!"

I like the room with the Guardians. You just seem to keep getting more an more people to hack up in there. I have my spawn rate set to high and still normally have to wait for soemthing nice to whack. But there seems to be a ready supply in there.

May be they need to get the ghost busters in there and we'll get a big marshmellow man
