Stardew Valley is one of the best farming simulators in the market. It is considered to be one of the most relaxing games ever made, where you can chill out with other NPCs, bond with them, and live happily together. The entertainment part of it comes when you have to farm and take care of your plants and animals to grow your farm. The game is also filled with all sorts of items. One of the rare items you might get in the game is Skull Key, and here is the answer to what is this key in Stardew Valley.
What is the Skull Key in Stardew Valley?
The Skull Key is considered one of the mysterious items you receive in the game that is not only rare to find, but you might not even know what it is and how you can use it.
The Skull Key can only be obtained once you’ve reached level 120. After reaching the required level, you will be able to unlock a chest at the very bottom of The Mines that contains the Skull Key.
But the real question is what is this key and what does it open in the game? In Stardew Valley, there is a location called the Skull Cavern located at the northern end of the Calico Deseret.
After obtaining this key, you will be able to access this high-difficulty Mine. Although before that you have to either purchase all of the Vault Bundles or buy the Bus Development from JojaMart for 40,000 gold to gain access to Calico Desert.
The reason why you should visit Skull Cavern is because of Iridium Ore. This mine is the best location to farm and look for Iridium Ore in the game. Even destroying enemies will drop some Iridium Bars.
Although you must be careful when you go down this mine. There are no fast-travel points using elevators and if you faint there, you will lose 1,000 gold and some other items as well.
