THE BEST SKULL CAVERN GUIDE FOR STARDEW VALLEY!

[Music] hello everyone gameshark here and welcome back to another video today I am going to show you my very own skull cutting guide in stardew valley this guide is to help you people out who are struggling with them score caverns things such as progressing far down to the deep levels fighting the tough enemies finding the iridium and other rare items and just some general tips and tricks to help you master the school cabin and make your time down there easier and more enjoyable this may be a long video as it is going to be very very detailed and structured telling you everything you need to know so sit back relax and listen up but first let me tell you some information about the school cavern and give you an idea on how this mind works [Music] the school coven is located in the desert which you will need the boss to be repaired to get over there it is initially locked and requires the school key to gain access you can get this key by a reach in the bottom floor of the original mine there is an infinite number of floors or levels in the school cabin similar to the mines you can advance from floors by finding a ladder on each floor either by mining rocks or defeating enemies but you can also sometimes find a shaft or a hole which makes it possible to skip 3 to 15 floors at a single time but dropping down these shafts will cause a small amount of damage unlike the mines there is no elevator to save progress each visit must start again from the very first floor every 10 floors you process down the chance to find iridium or will increase significantly the monsters in the cavern also have a chance to drop or and iridium bars exploring the cavern with good look will increase the frequency of all veins item drops and the appearance of ladders and holes okay so now you know some general information about the school cabin let's get straight into the preparation and things you'll need and want before and during your time down there [Music] before you even hesitate to take a trip to the school cavern you are going to want to make sure you're mining and combat skill levels are high the reason for this is simple the higher your level of these skills the stronger and more efficient you are down there getting the higher level in mining isn't really a muster this will just help you find more gems and ores and also increase their value depending on what profession you choose which makes your time down there more worthwhile but having your combat skill level high or maxed out before the school cavern is very very important reaching level 5 and 10 in the combat skill will allow you to choose a special profession for example if you reach level 10 in combat you get the option to be a scout or a fighter if you choose the fighter you can pick either the brute profession or the defender profession brute making you deal more damage against enemies or the defender giving you more HP and if you choose to be the scout you get to pick either the Acrobat or the desperado profession making your critical strikes deadly against enemies or calling down your special moves these skilled professions are so important to have against the monsters down there there is no best profession to choose from it is all down to your preference and your play style are you an attacking person or defending person [Music] okay so I'm going to tell you guys what you are going to be facing and what you are up against in the school coven firstly the big and main problem is the time of course time is on your side just like it is all over the game but it's more of a problem in the school cavern because your progress does not save with having no elevator and you need to start from level one every time you enter and the deeper mines are the floors you want to be on for the big rare items so to fight the time you need to be fast don't take guitar mini ones don't hit every single rock inside and collect everything you see and even fight every enemy just focus on finding them stairs to get to the deeper floors and then you can take your time using anything with a speed boost will help but I will be going through the best things for speed later in this video so stay tuned but another thing you're facing all the enemies of course the main monsters that are in the school caverns and the most powerful that you need to look out for are the mummies and the Serpent's mummies are 260 HP and deal a big 30 damage but you can't kill these enemies with just a sword they need to be finished with any type of explosion after being knocked down with a weapon and the serpents are the biggest problem down the cavern that I find these are very very fast monsters as they are flying they have 150 HP and deal 23 damage but it is their speed that is deadly so using a fast weapon with big speed and good knock back is required for these monsters there will be some other monsters you'll bump into as well such as slimes and bass but they're the least of your worries [Music] now let's talk about health and energy things you'll need to keep you alive firstly you want to try and focus on collecting as much or if not all of the star drops a star drop is a special item that permanently increases your maximum energy by 34 points there are total of seven to find obtaining there many ways from the star D Valley Fair the treasure chest on the floor 100 in the mines to get you one from your spouse when you're at full house there is other ways to get them I won't be going through that on this video go into the school cabin with a lot of stamina will be very handy but not as important as food and health you will be up against some strong and fast enemies and you will deal and take big amounts of damage so replenishing your health is a must in the school cabin and I have got a few recipes and meals that I'd recommend to take with you to help you with this problem the first one being the roof platter you will unlock this recipe at combat level 3 and the ingredients are one cave carrot and one winter room a very easy dish to make the roofs platter will give you 125 energy and 56 health once consumed now this meal isn't that useful for health regain but it will give you a bonus plus free attack against enemies for a duration of 5 minutes and 35 seconds making you deadly against enemies the next meal you should take with you is the pumpkin soup this recipe will be unlocked and sent in the mail by Robin once you are seven hearts with her and all you need is one pumpkin and one milk to cook this recipe this meal will replenish 200 energy and 90 health at a time but the most important thing about this meal is that it will give you a +2 look and applause to defense for a 7 minute duration which is perfect for protection and a higher chance to find rare items [Music] the last cooking dish and in my opinion the best one to take with you I do it all the time it is the crabcakes now you can find this recipe on The Cooking Channel in fall you'll need one crab one wheat flour one egg and one oil to make it a bit more tricky to cook but this will replenish 225 energy and 101 health once consumed which is brilliant if you have a few of these with you but also crabcakes give you a +1 speed boost and a +1 defense boost for a duration of 16 minutes and 47 seconds which is so important avoiding and defending yourself against the enemies [Music] so we have covered what you'll need for boosting health but now let's talk about protection from helping you not lose health firstly you need to think about armor things like boobs and rings these are both important as wearing both of these clothing items will give you benefits such as defense and immunity from the monsters the best boots you can get in the game and definitely a must-have item with you are the space boots these can be found from a chest on the level 110 floor in the basic minds space boots will give us for defense and a plus for immunity from all enemies which will protect you massively and the best ring to wear whilst down the school cavern other iridium bands you can craft these yourself once reaching level 9 combat another reason why the combat skill is important or you can find them by fishing for treasure chests iridium bands will give you lights from the globe it will attract items like a magnet and also give you 10% more attack damage amazing right bolt you can actually wear two of these bands at a time doubling your attack by 20% and giving you a bigger glow and a bigger magnet area I will definitely recommend to have two of these rings to help you down the school cavern mind now let's talk about weapons what will you need to fight these powerful enemies well the best sword in the game is of course the galaxy sword dealing 60 to 80 damage with a 0.2% critical hit jams and an amazing +4 weapon speed boost perfect against the serpents you can either buy this for 50,000 gold in the adventures guild or exchange a prismatic shard and place it under the three pillars in the desert but if you do not have this weapon you can also take the lava katana which can be found once reaching the bottom of the normal mines now this weapon won't give you as much damage but it will give you more critical power and a defense boost perfect against the slimes also surprisingly using slingshots is a great way to fight enemies to use an explosive ammo is very effective against mummies killing them for good but if you use gold all four amination this will deal substantial amounts of damage against all strong enemies try yourself [Music] [Applause] okay so on to the speed topic like I said this is very important down the school cabin you need to progress down the floors as fast as possible also avoiding the enemies as much as you can if necessary don't fight them run and avoid them to help with the speed boost take a lot of coffee with you easy to produce and giving you a good plus-one speed boost for a few minutes you can also use the speed boost from a cookie meal at the same time as the coffee boost giving you an even bigger speed boost one of the thing you can do to progress faster is use explosives you can craft these or buy them from the dwarf these will destroy enemies easily and also destroy rocks and stones in your path making you find ladders and shafts a lot faster but also easily finding you lots of resources such as iridium or to gather these items quickly use ring magnets to collect them instead of walking to each item the magnet ring will attract and click them up whilst you are running but the main important thing to do for speed and faster progression is to craft staircases to get down to the lower floors staircases can be used for rapid descent or skipping troublesome floors since their cases do not stack it can be more space efficient to bring plenty of stone and craft the staircases as you need them by doing this you can easily get to level 300 cloth in one full day so fill out your backpack with stone and find your own ladders okay finally one last thing to do down the school cabin if you find yourself in big big trouble either the time is really late and the day is nearly over or your health and energy drops to near death point and you need to make a quick exit then use warp totems or your return scepter to get home as fast as possible to avoid this emergency you can craft warp totems yourself or purchase them from the casino but bring some of these with you it will be better than dying and losing items and money okay so that comes to the end of this video guys my very own personal score carving guide which I go by every single time and it's the most efficient way I have found to master the school cavern and progress a lot further I've experimented with this many times and it has always worked I hope that this guide has helped you in some way maybe you didn't know some of these tips and you got some useful ideas to help you but if you already knew
