“Alas, poor Yorick! I knew him, Horatio, a fellow of infinite jest, of most excellent fancy. He hath bore me on his back a thousand times, and now how abhorr’d in my imagination it is! My gorge rises at it.”

Useful Info

Flying skulls are weak pack monsters, fast and prone to noisy shrieking. They are found in the Crypt, the Tomb, the Hells, the Abyss, and Pandemonium.

  • Although mostly harmless, they attract enough attention to be a pest to stealthy characters.
  • If you know Lee's Rapid Deconstruction, they make excellent sources of shrapnel. Of course, by using LRD, you'll be abandoning stealth entirely.
