No Cursed Skulls Spawning?

[Dark Meta Knight]

I created several worlds, but none of them are having cursed skulls spawning for some odd reason. I even spent two hours in a dungeon, used a water candle, and alas, no cursed skulls. I'm also in hard mode. Anything i'm doing wrong?

Have you killed plantera yet?

Cursed Skulls only spawn when a dungeon has a "slab" background.

"They only spawn in pre-hardmode dungeons or hardmode dungeons with a Slab Wall" taken from http://terraria.gamepedia.com/Cursed_Skull

Oh i see. Well most of my dungeons don't have that wall because my luck really sucks. I guess i'll just keep making worlds until it has that wall then. :l

Does it have to be dark too? Because i do have torches everywhere...

Before I went to hardmode dungeon, I read about so many threads like this -- about how hard it is to find some certain spawn. But now that I have been there, I find that I either am lucky or maybe it's the way I play -- I travelled around the dungeon, and found all the different kinds of mobs that might normally show up, even Bones Lee.

Granted, the mobs are pretty tough so I couldn't make it all the way around the dungeon to all the different rooms, but for the places I did go -- all the different kinds of mobs did spawn, even several Paladins ( and there was one time where 2 paladins spawned).

I did eventually leave the dungeon (for now) with enough ectoplasm, several weapon drops, and other goodies. I'll go back to get more loot later, especially wanting to try the Wasp Gun that I later got from more fights with Plantera.

I'm currently trying for some bananarangs from the clowns during a blood moon.

[Dark Meta Knight]

oh, i have to beat plantera for them to spawn now? well, screw hunting skulls then... -.-

[Olly]

Why do you wan't to farm them?

[Dark Meta Knight]

i need ectoplasm for the pumpkin moon. that's why.

[Olly]

They don't just come from the skulls

[Olly]

They from any enemy with 100+ health in the dungeon

[Olly]

Use the chest statue to spawn mimics and have a auto farm on them to get the ectoplasm

[Dark Meta Knight]

oh. well i'm not sure if i have a chest statue...maybe in an old world? anyway thanks for your help. :)

[Olly]

Np :)

You still want to farm cursed skulls for the Nazar, which is an ingriedent for the Ankh shield. I think non-hardmode dungeons will spawn more of them.

Just use a music box on the pumpkin moon. The box will turn into an Ankh shield
