Skul: The Hero SlayerArchipelago randomizer mod
Purchase witch checks while receiving their mastery ranks separately, restore NPC services, clear combat rooms and break shrines across repeated runs. Standard settings provide 149 checks and the First Hero goal; chapter access is modeled more strictly by the World than by client 1.0.0.

How the game changes
- 149 checks by default: witch purchases, castle renovations, chapter encounters, combat-room counts and globally counted shrines. Options give 126–198 checks.
- Witch purchases send randomized rewards; received mastery items grant the ranks separately. Three progressive tree families open higher rows.
- Five Progressive Stage copies define area access in the World. Client 1.0.0 instead leaves the Forest open and gates the next three chapter transitions.
- Four NPC unlocks, recurring Bone and Gold rewards, multiplied Dark Quartz and optional traps that remove the secondary skull.
- Defeat the First Hero’s final phase to report victory. The distributed client reduces castle-renovation costs to 20% of normal.
Before you start
- The World and client chapter gates differ: World areas require one to five Progressive Stage copies; client 1.0.0 only gates three transitions. The fourth and fifth copies do not unlock an additional native gate.
- Fatal Mind and Spirit Acceleration have different Soul-tree key and named-bonus mappings in client 1.0.0. Their precise applied ranks need an in-game check.
- The tagged C# client source differs from the distributed DLL. Shrine counting here follows the DLL’s global counter, rather than the source’s per-chapter counter.
- Skull randomization and shop-item checks are not implemented by the reviewed APWorld. The release’s older overview text mentions skull randomization, but supplies no such option or item table.
- Use Archipelago 0.6.7 or later with the reviewed World. Client 1.0.0 is the latest client release preceding it, not an explicit World compatibility lock. No native playthrough was performed.
