Ancient Skull

The Ancient Skull is an epic quest item needed for The Search For The Skull. The skull's sole purpose is to be used at a Cultist Altar to activate a ritual, eventually resulting in a Purified Ancient Skull.

Acquisition
Once the player has started The Search For The Skull, the Ancient Skull will spawn on a designated island in a large boulder. The boulder in question can be distinguished from other large boulders by a small rock protrusion on its side. Mining this protrusion with a pickaxe will reveal the Ancient Skull.
