Colossal skeletal phantoms of the post-plantera dungeon
The Giant Cursed Skull is an imposing floating skull that drifts through the post-Plantera Dungeon in tiled wall corridors. Endowed with 400 life and 20 defense, it glides through solid bricks without friction, delivering 60 contact damage in Classic, 120 in Expert, and 180 in Master. Its enormous size allows it to block entire hallways, absorbing projectile fire intended for weaker dungeon minions.
Curse projectiles and shadow jousting lances
Unlike standard Cursed Skulls, this giant variant shoots cursed energy projectiles that inflict the Cursed debuff, locking players out of weapons and items for several seconds. Maintaining distance with rapid homing weapons like the Razorpine or Tactical Shotgun is vital to crack its heavy skull. Defeating it offers a 1% chance for the Nazar and 4% for the high-velocity Shadow Jousting Lance.
Trivia
- It fires cursed energy projectiles through walls, making open dungeon chambers perilous.
- It drops the Shadow Jousting Lance, a specialty weapon designed for high-speed mount jousting.
