Best weapon, boots, and rings for skull cave?

[Soppo]

I have the galaxy sword and space boots, but I still can't survive in the skull cave lol.
Any tips or tricks?

Well the Space Boots are the Best Boots in the GAme, so no Question their, you could go buy the Galaxy Hammer, but from what I've heard it's more sluggish then the Sword, but has an Stun Skill, don't know how wide an Area or length thou, but I don't think there is any other useful Weapon.
One Ring should definatly be Iridium Band, Glow+Magnet+10% Dmg is hard to beat for 1 Slot.

Personally I like the Slime Ring in Slot 2, its very specific yes, but if you get swarmed by the damn Skysnakes AND have to look out for Slimes at the same Time its pretty useful, apart from that I'm not sure how much Rings are actually have an impact on survival, there is a Dish thou that gives Mining and Defense +3, which might help since it's boosts Def from 4 to 7, forgot the Name, but it's made from Tomato + Eggplant.

Space Boots, Galaxy Sword or Hammer (Sword is faster, Hammer is slower but can dish out insane amounts of damage at once with the special attack used right), Iridium Band, as second ring i use the Aquamarine Ring (10% higher chance for a crit) or Ring of Yorba (makes you invincible at random)

Equipment isn't everything to get safe through the Skull Cave though.
If you want to be prepared for everything take with you:

- Food that heals a lot of HP (for instance the Miners Treat that the dwarf sells)
- Bombs and Megabombs to quickly find a ladder or a hole
- Stairs (build with 99 stone) to skip annoying rooms (like monster rooms, or those spiraling ones) to proceed even faster
- Also check the TV if the spirits are in a good mood and use food to boost your luck too

i agree with everyone about space boots and galaxy sword.

about ring part;

1) definitely an iridium band
2) lets take a look at choices:
a- if you want more loot, pick burglar's ring.
b- if you want more speed, pick savage ring.
c- if you hate slimes, pick slime charmer ring.
d- or simply go with 2 iridium bands and rush the cavern.

also, you might want to get "special charm" item in your wallet. it is really useful, increases your luck permanently. you have to read secret note #20 and do that quest to get charm.

enjoy! *-*

Pure survivability: Ring of Yoba and Vampire Ring. The first one has a chance to shield you from damage, the second heals you every kill.

Pure efficiency: Burglar Ring and Iridium Band. The first one gives double monster loot, the second gives magnetism and DPS increase.

Best balance: Iridium Band and Vampire Ring. Makes you stronger and heals you a bit.

Choose whichever sounds best to you.

As for hammer vs sword, you can use both really. Use the hammer's special attack when you're being swarmed, right-click them spam left-click for massive damage. For one-on-one, use the sword for the knockback and parry.
