Ghoul Is The Best Skull For New Players | Skul The Hero Slayer 

ALSO FOR THE NEW PLAYERS! If you go into your in game settings there's an option called Rookie Mode. It makes you take 50% less damage while it's turned on and can really help with learning what enemies do. It's an excellent feature to use as it won't nerf what enemies do, their spawns, traps or bosses. It just means you won't die as quickly. Use this along with the ''close the game'' trick and you can practice for as long as you need to learn what things do!

Hai beelz, good to know ur a new player today

Hello beelz, i just downloaded this from ps plus about 4 days ago, ive dumped over 28h into the game and finished the normal mode a couple times and working on my lvl1 dark quartz thing mirror. Ive been watching all your vids while i play and it was sooo helpful honestly, thanks to you i am in love with this game

Ghouls just goes nom nom nom nom nom no- etc, etc... It is rather fun and has helped me pass through some hard teirs myself

I love that you fill your videos with so many helpful tips. Many content creators would go over the basics and just showcase gameplay when showing certain builds but you answer questions before they are asked and explain things such as how to handle certain rooms. Things like amplifying damage aren’t very self explanatory so you explaining it is really appreciated, especially since courage and wisdom look like pretty weak inscriptions without the amplification.

Found your videos because i got skul recently. Never heard about the game, but its so fun. Love your way of commentating your playthroughs. Subbed :)

Beelz 2024:"Be cheeky, slam butt cheeks, get really high"

Just got through my first dark mirror run because of this video. Thank you for showing how op ghoul is.

i love that you make sure newer players always have some kind of video that can help them with the game :)

I've been playing the game for about 30 hours and the RU-vid algorithm suggested your channel to me. I loved your content but above all seeing that you have fun while playing, keep it up! And make absurd voices, it's very fun XD

Perfekt a friend of Mine Just started the Game and ... He DOESNT use the dogde Dash or switching He DOESNT know that the Most enemys can't Attack you If you Just Attack them. He doenst know What Magic and physical damage is so this Video ist perfect

Thank you dude! Managed to get ghoul in my first run after seeing this video and beat it normal mode for the first time ever with it! This also teached me about focussing on the attibutes more over the items abilities. Great stuff my guy, keep it up!

I’d like to give you a big thank you, Beelz. I recently picked up this game and was struggling with even REACHING the Leiana boss fight, let alone beating it. Now, I just reset my data and, using all the tips and methods from your videos, got to dark mirror 0 with no deaths and no witch traits! And yes, I definitely used our lovely Ghooool boy. You’re awesome and am looking forward to seeing you play any games you decide to post. 😁

Awesome Beelz with awesome breakdown of Carleon once again!

as a long time Skul player this is a lot more helpful than I thought since I don't know the value difference between Arms/Artifact and Courage/Wisdom

Traps are a nightmare. I frequently lost my first life on trap room, so Sphinx is my best friend, even over most of the legendary Quint

Good timing with this video to new players, I love this game so much

Bro thank u for ur hard work! I'm glad skul brought me here but ur content is gonna keep me here! Keep up the great work 👍🏿

Just wanted to say that the tips in this video helped me beat the game for the first time. Used shield hero. Thanks for the great content!!

Having put in over 20hr and gotten all of the witches uppgrades I genuenly find this game too hard. I have only made it to the second to last boss two times. The idea of turning on rookie mode is not fun, feels like a cop-out…

As an extra tip for those who just earned hard mode and want to employ the strats here: the dark ability reckless posture will be your best friend, synergizing incredibly well with revenge and will help for getting the basics of the new gamemode.

Aw hell yeah, new video in the middle of the night from Beelz, YEAH i love living in the states

So i left a comment on the ent video on how i beat normal mode with just elder ent so i did it again but i lost to the first heros second phase. I found this video and tried solo ghoul with the appropriate inscriptions and beat mirror 0 the big guy doesnt need much thought because you can just heal most of your health using flesh which is very easily acquired it truly is the best for newbies. Ghoul is also really cool and being able to become bigger than the entrance to the doors is funny and while it does make you a bigger target it doesnt really matter when you can just heal most of the damage. In conclusion: Ghoul is the god that never dies with the right build. Its truly an S tier Your guides really helped me i didn't know at first where to find help with beating the game but i found you and beat normal and mirror 0 because of you. You have my thanks and my sub. Cheers

Typing before i sit down to watch this I have about 10 hours into the game and used your tierlist as a rough outline for what builds would be effective. Got my first win with a bulky shield boi~25 runs at it. Shortly after I got an alchemist and managed to summon oberon with 5 spirits and the thing that amplifies damage for each one you have. It was by no means perfect as I haven't even fully upgraded fully with the witch, but I managed to get over 600p magic damage. I had the raven too and melted thru everything just sitting back, spamming skills and summons. My first broken build and im looking to improve upon it. So thank you for the vid for guidance for new players, really helps some people. I haven't managed to get a good ghoul run yet, so hoping this will guide me to do just that. I'm trying to win with every skull I can.

Hey! Longtime Skul player and roguelike fan! Glad to see the game reaching so many new people on PlayStation! I have it downloaded on every other platform lol I actually didn't know there was such a community for the game, I've just been playing alongside my girlfriend this whole time. I just beat Dark Mirror 4 with the Unknown King!

I just got the dlc but haven't messed around with it yet... I got Freedom Planet 2, Summum Aeterna, Have a Nice Death, Helmut, Cavity Busters, and Batbarian all on the same day as a present to myself after getting laid off 😊

So I took that advice on revenge. Granted I used Warrior, I like giving as much damage as I receive. Now when I tell you a run was stacked a run was stacked. I had dominator for my secondary as I hadn't bought him from the shop him yet, an early game medal box and cudgel (the legendary club thingie that you gotta to do things for to get), got pot from yigs. It was already going smoothly, Got the sword omen in act two and got it duped via slime. (Little did I know that I would only die once this run.) Hope slasher dropped from the twins This gave me the new revenge legendary. At this point my build was basically done. Had quartz for my second revenge revenge and antique, and the last thing I got from Chimera was the other courage legendary I think, Whatever the new one that looks like it an old olympic torch is (am a big fan of it). I was good Had the necklace for concentration early on too, then find the the item that give ten shields and a crit boost when the shield is hit. Traded the necklace for that, and my little bone was fully built for that DM8 run. (First time beating DM 8 too). I locked in antique for 4 and dual I think the other one was. It was another random one to get 2 for a small damage amp and for the collection desires. I know warrior is good, but my man invalidated all of DM8 to the point I don't think I learned anything. Damage incoming? What damage concentration release, Boss isn't dead yet but I think I can burst it real quick (Looking at you fire mage adventure and bishop) Swap to dominator and unload. Ended the run pushing nearly 300 hundred HP despite double omen, nearly 2k physical when all the buffs stacked and only died once (Act 3 is the bane of my existence with all all the on death effects). And saw those beautiful 5 digit crit numbers on dad, little bone, and the emperor. Hit as high as 50K damage. Needless to say I was thoughly impressed and immediately saddened to realized DM 9 and 10 will not be that easy in comparison when I get around to them. Also can confirm Dm 8 is what gives extra bones and gold from the rooms and thingies as I just got it.

Beelz video? No sleep run any% run easy.

Dude I might have to follow you, as I was watching your video I was playing with a magic build and bro the amount of gold stuff I got was crazy you gave me good luck thanks bro

Just finished the story its hella fun gonna keep playing it

Thank you so much for this.

Beeelz I know this video is a lil old but was playing a ghoul run and wanted to watch at same time and I came across just an absurd adventurer name and wanted to know what has been the craziest adventurer fights names that you can remember ❤

Stuck in mirror 3, every time died in the end boss fight

So i decided to do a ghoul run cuz of this vid and whilst he is very much broken i did notice a couple of things 1. If you find a trap puzzle room youre gonna have a bad time This was very easily solved by getting into small bone and doing it with him but then i realized, what if u get the power bone so u ditch small bone so through a bit of rigging i found that Predator is an amazing duo for him as he can double dash and also do alot of damage quickly 2. Sometimes when im in shops or tryna climb to a boss, i run out of meat chunks This was also fixed with Predator, since, if im alr losing all my meat chunks, might asw get the swap attack in and some REAL NICE damage with predator on top of it, and then start gathering chunks after that In reality i only miss out on 2-3 chunks and it worked like a charm, i also do this if i decide to eat chunks to heal mid boss fight 3. 2 Artifact, 2 Heirloom, 2 Revenge is beyond goated for him but if you find Hope Slasher, 2 courage and 2 arms become possible to add on too as it has 1 of both (or, well, the shop lock in thing works great instead of hope slasher too but shhhhhhh i forgot it exists and didnt use it in the run but if i were to id prolly go for like 2 fortress or smth for more tank), which really makes the damage above and beyond and makes the run somehow even easier Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk Youre amazing beelz we love you, keep up the good work, thanks for oppening my eyes to my new fav fatty in fiction

We need a dark mirror level 10 monkey king run.

This is a really good learning skull purely because you can actually see what's happening. I feel like every time I have a giga-brain 4D chess magic build with heaps of effects I end up dying because I can't find my actual character on the screen and I end up eating every attack.

Just beat H6 three more to go baby!!!!!also amazing Ghoul gaming bro ❤

Hey Beelz, just wanna let you know that I started playing this week with ps+ and your videos really helped me learn this game. Just completed my first ever successful run today with prisoner solo😁 Thank you man and keep up the good work🫡

I always died in the adventurer fight in the 4th chapter, guess who just finished the game with this insane ghoul set up? I didn't even had to try. So powerful I guess revenge will help you even with speed skulls

Bought the game a couple days ago and didn't watch any guides. On my 6th run I got ghoul and one shot the whole game easily. Crazy good.

Ghoul absolutely slaps. The vacuum ability is crazy!

I just breezed through dark mirror 9 and 10 with revenge ghoul after failing with my usual magic power build. It's absolutely busted.

Watched this video and got to the end boss first try. Only got there once in 40 hrs of early access and 1.0 on pc. Ghoul is no joke

That thumbnail doesnt lie ghoul and water carried me to DM10 im working on beating the final boss because i just killed only the dark first hero for the skin and the devices

The last tier upgrades are always 3000 for the first purchase, 6000 for the second purchase from what I remember.

I actually reset my save to enjoy unlocking everything since it's been "finished" now. Ghoul was my first win on my third attempt. Tried Hercules at first which went really really well but the damage fell off super hard by the chapter 4 adventurer fight. But Ghoul's damage is all built in so it's just a matter of not dying and chunk management.

No dash challenge ! full run on max difficulty with no cheats ! 0 dashes !

I was surprised to still learn several things from this

As a person who won the last 3-5 dark mirror levels using exclusively ghoul, I can confirm, ghoul is straight up easy mode 💀

Eyyy, Beelz back in teacher mode. Whenever I listen to these I think to myself you would have been the absolute coolest Middle School teacher, dude, seriously. Not that I'd ever wish that fate on you, mind. Hehe

It do be fun to see teacher beelz again.

Beelz it's good to see you playing skull again! When do you plan to try out the new legendary skull? Also I'd love to see a DP run with the Cozy dark ability since dp got changed to have magic basic attacks and legendary dp slaps hard when he has his barrier up, it's insane!

The act 4 debuff is 10% per 3 stacks. The edges get very dark if you pick up enough stacks... I think I once hit 20-something back when I was first starting the game. Taking 70% extra damage kills you pretty quickly haha

Thank you😊

just got my first wine ghoul, 2 courage, 2 arms, and 2 rings 😂 ty for all of your tips man, so glad it was free for psn, what a wonderful game!

Water skull is also very good i feel like for newbie players (as someone who beat most of his hard mode runs with water skull) the dive ability is just so op

We love to see the Baby Ghoul demolishing everything in his path

Your videos are very good and help me a lot even though I don't understand much English:]

Hope u get paid for this never played this game in my life until last week step by step guide I followed and man you helped me out so much

Have a sip everytime Beelz says "meat chunk".

honestly i would like to see another ghoul run but this time on hard mode 10 to see how different how tough he can be against the hardest bosses in the game

actually beelz they changed elder ents gratitude, it doesn't fully get destroyed anymore, instead it's now like voodoo doll, that when the shield is is destroyed it loses all of its big effect and then only ends up giving a 15% attack increase instead of 50%

If you want something a little less clunky or you just want to feel like your playing the game (although just winning a few runs with a cheese lord like ghoul is still smart idea) try thief, fast responsive and has some solid defensive utility

"Ghoul Is The Best Skull For New Players" - no sir, Ghoul is the best Skull, Period :)

26:00 Oh no. He leaked our veteran players’ secret.

The part where you stand still and attack to purposefully die as ghoul only to delete half the health of the hero was truly a ghoul moment

started playing it yesterday and the ghoul was my favorite and then I see this video its so funny

Destroying the gold incense burner at the beginning hurt my soul

3000 and 6000 Alchemy for the last 700 to 1400 for the Third and 1st and 2nd buffs are different Alchemy.

The op ghoul run is real fellas

Ask Beelz why, for the engagement!

Huzzah moar ghoul runs with the added bonus of demon lord hiccups

i beat dm1 with it today, kinda op

Hey beelz I just go skul last week and have made it to the part of the game where I get to choose a difficulty and I’ve been stuck on the first one forever just wondering if you have any tips on like who to pick and what to pick in the first part of the run and any other tips and tricks you could provide would also be very helpful by the thank you for posting a tier list for this game I keep going back to it to see who’s decent lol thx beelz

THICC BOY IS STILL A FIT BOY!

Yo, Beelz! Need to ask: are all the small characters' arts yours? They little avatars that show up almost every video, did you draw them my guy? I love them lmao Great to see you back to Skul, and it feels like you're enjoying it again

Hey Beelz, new player and I’ve been binging your content and learning. I’m stuck on mirror 3 and am going back to ghoul. What dark arts would you recommend? I’m running super baby and king slayer. Those last two slots I’m not sure on.

Dude I used to love playing Overcrotch

not gonna lie skills that require resources instead of cooldown to use should instead have a resource consumption reduction when you get cooldown reduction stuff

And here I am struggling to get past the sisters on Act II

Hoe does it vost you 30 to awaken a skull? Im wondering if its a witch upgrade or ive judt always been checking it on uniques when it 100

I was on board with Ghoul until I finally hest the core game with the Dead Cells Prisoner skull. That skull is ridiculous when you have it beefed with physical and attack speed relics.

They say you can still hear the bones of ghouls enemies still breaking to this day 😂 he thicc!

Ps+ baby. Love the werewolf and thief.

Jesus its been a while playing normal skull run (not dark mirror)

Oh yeah, I heard the Ent's Gratitude now leaves an item after you use all if its effect, similar to how Voodoo Doll works. Maybe you should check again

Can you do a run where you use the duel items? The items that swing on their own.

My fav combo is bomber ent for all of the grass patches

I got the game with the plus, thanks to some of your videos i finished my first run really fun to play.I was wondering what does the dlc add? Because i want to buy hades and i was wondering if i should get the skul dlc too. Like i am gonna buy it i was just wondering if i should buy it as soon as possibile or is better to wait.

Hi new to this game. Do skuls remain awaken after death, or do need to reinvest bones into them again?

I lost a dark mirror run at the dad fight bc I didnt know prisoner loses his stacks🥲

So is the Prisoner.

On which platform is the game ? And another question is the PlayStation version on the same patch notes like the the steam version?

heeeeeeeeeeeessss back baby!

Does closing and restarting boss fights with work with playstation?

Not me watching this video while i play on rookie mode and only beat the sisters once 😭 i just started though give me a few hours in this game

Hey Beelz, if you have so many hours in the game have you ever leveled up the dwarf turret to a king dwarf turret? I figure it’s a meme but I saw it in my post work run tonight.

i remember when he used to not like ghoul very much

The 1st time I saw unique ghoul I thought casso

Full relic and revenge with ghoul and you’re absolutely unkillable even in dark mirror level 10 and the secret boss fight
