To get far in Skull Cavern, you will need to utilize two glitches that currently exist in the game:

• Bomb Eating
  
• Infinite Awake Glitch

To execute bomb eating, place a desired number of Meba Bombs. Before any of them explode, eat any food item. This freezes the in game timer, but does not freeze the bomb timers. Your character is invulnerable during the eating cutscene, so rocks and enemies around will be exploded and damaged, but your character will take 0 damage.

To execute infinite awake glitch you MUST have at least 1 task in your journal. This glitch WILL NOT work unless you have an incomplete journal task. You can obtain this from the bulletin board in front of Pierre's Shop, or simply hold on to a task that never expires.

Infinite awake glitch is done by CLICKING the journal with your mouse key whenever your character tries to sleep. It is important that you click it manually due to the hotkey of F not working. Simply repeat this every 10 in game minutes when your character tries to go back to sleep. To save time, click Esc after clicking on the journal to instantly leave it.

Simply use 100 ladders. Don't waste any time with the scraps on these levels as they will just block your inventory.

Continue to spam ladders. Keep an eye out for good Meba Bomb locations of a lot of rocks that may drop a pitfall. Inventory scraps will likely need to be trashed due to the number of low profit resources obtained at these levels. These levels should have a large focus on pitfalls.

Around this time you will likely be reaching the first 2 am. Simply start clicking the journal every time your character tries to sleep and you can go on as long as you wish. These floors start to shift from a focus of pitfalls to a full focus on iridium rocks. Pretty much every floor from 500 onwards appears to have a similar number of iridium rocks, so bomb everywhere that 10+ iridium rocks appear.

To counter the dragon eel things, simply place 3 mega bombs then eat. 3 mega bombs are enough damage to kill all the eels around your character.

There are several types of floors that you may need to skip with ladder:

• Long Looping Floors
  
• Floors With NO Iridium
  
• Some Mine Cart Floors
  
• Some Mummy Floors
  
• Excesively Blocked Path Floors

You did it! You have made it to the 4 digit floors! Congrats!

If you did this run with the exact resources mentioned in this guide, you are likely getting low on resources. You can of course bring things in place of so much stone such as more mega bombs, more food, or whatever else you think you may need.

If you wish to go infinitely into the depths, an optimal deep run of Skull Cavern would likely bring the following supplies:

• Iridium Pickaxe
  
• Galaxy Sword
  
• 24 Stacks of 999 Mega Bombs
  
• 10 Stacks of 999 of Any Decent Food

While this guide is only made to go to Floor 1,000, the above supplies could go to 10,000; 100,000; or even 1,000,000 Floors if you had the time to actually venture that deep.

Thanks so much for making it through this guide. If you have any feedback or questions, feel free to leave them here or on the video.
