Ideas on how to get the cursed crown for Coop Skull Island?

[Concoction of Constitution]

So I just completed a few solo multiplayer runs of Skull Island, and I simply cannot find the cursed crown in it.


The requirements state that only the brave (Meaning both sides of the portal must be destroyed on the same day) and the prudent can obtain it.

I know the brave means that both portals must be bombed on the same day, as that's exactly what's said for the singleplayer version, which earns the cursed crown, so I'm guessing that's exactly the same.

But prudent? As far as I know, that refers to being carefully planned out.

Think of the objectives. The bronze crown requires both players investing in the statue, easy enough. The silver requires both knights on both sides to be fully upgraded by each player. Simple. The gold crown requires 3 attacks to be launched on each side for each ruler. Nothing to it.

But the cursed crown... I would assume that the logical progression of these objectives would result in each player building up the three portals on each side to act as shortcuts for the bombing mission.

I made the bottom player invest on the left portals, the left bomb, the left entrance, and the last explosion. Same for the top player on the right side, but no luck. I bombed everything same day as well.


So I'm out of thoughts. Perhaps it wants us to build up walls close to the portals? That kinda makes sense in terms of planning, but I'm not sure.

Any ideas are welcome.

I got that cursed crown in Skull Island in single player mode,
= both caves have to be destroyed on the same day.

Cooperative i woulda think it be the same ? right

Please take the time to read my post. You would have seen that I already stated that I know that bombing both sides of the portals in one day is one of the requirements due to the term "brave" being used here (which is also used in the SP version). However, the requirement also states that the rulers must be prudent as well, which is what I am currently trying to figure out.

This is hard to read, and you're talking about different challenges. Moving on.



I have tested out some more things on Coop Skull Island.

After completing each of these 'objectives', I followed them by bombing both portals on the same day (in daylight, never at night.)

1. I constructed all portals on both sides of the map, the left side with one player, the right side with the second player. No crown.
   
   
2. I have built up most walls (Fully upgraded), up to the closest point to the Skull Portals. No crown.
   
   
3. I bombed both portals same day, once with the statue maxed out (Filled to the top), and once with the statue on the last day (Literally bombed the second portal right before the volcano exploded). No crown.
   
   
4. I purchased multiple knights/swords for each side, at least 6 times on each side. No crown.
   
   
5. I built many farms on each side, with both players. No crown.
   
   
6. I let the first player purchase the bomb on the left side, send the bomb in, and payed for the detonation. I let the second player do the same for the right side. No crown.
   
   
7. I purchased MANY ninjas on each side with each player. No crown.
   
   
8. I hired many archers on each side with each player. No crown.
   
   
9. Purchased 10+ workers on each side with each player. No crown.
   
   
10. Cleared out ALL trees on the map. No crown.
    
    
11. I sent both knights out on each side with each player to break the portal before bombing them. No crown.

Side note, breaking the portals has some.... strange interactions on skull island. The first time I did it, both portals restored normally. The second time I broke both sides, both of the stone skulls on the portals broke off permanently, being sent to random places on the map (one of the skulls was inside my wall). The portals never restored to their normal state, greed never spawned again. Bombed both sides same day, no crown.




It has been months since coop challenge islands have been released. No one has discovered the cursed crown yet for skull island. I have spent many, many hours testing out different strategies for getting the crown, and I have now exhausted all ideas that I can think of.

I think we need a hint from the devs lol. The requirement for this cursed crown seems so arbitrary and vague, it's basically impossible for 99% of the player base to find out. I only got this far by doing absurd amounts of testing.

Archers, builders, knights, pikemen/ninjas, walls, farms, statue level, bomb purchases, teleporters, speed, all have nothing to do with this cursed crown.

What's left? Am I misunderstanding prudence as the ability to plan things out?

I want to find out how to get this cursed crown, but damn I can't think of anything else left to try.

did you try bombing both portal as fast as possible?

Yeah, as fast as I could, but i doubt that's what they're intending with being prudent. Idk maybe i should take it slower, but I'm kinda starting to get sick of skull island lol

Have you tried bombing both portals with both players on the same day? I mean - going to one portal with both players and then running over to the other portal with both players. Just as you would in single player.

Yep, with pretty much the fastest time I could get, but no luck :[

prudence = caution = carefulness. Right?

Never played skull island but I launched it to see the map (is it always the same?)

What prudence means in the game? that's the question so... my suggestions are:

12. never go behind/ go through a small portal (meaning you have to destroy it before "going through" it)

Going behind a portal is probably the most dangerous thing in Kingdom when you are a beginner. So... you are prudent by not going behind them.

13. A close idea to the previous one:
You're not allowed to go too far from your farest wall. You have to expand. You can't get away too far from your wall. (But I feel this idea a bit dumb... xD)

14. Keep the hourglass as full as possible maybe above 10 day

In this case you are prudent because you postpone the eruption risk as far as possible.
In coop it would means there's always someone in charge to max out the hourglass

The hourglass starts at 11. It would make sense to maintain this level all the time. 11/12

EDIT ; The hourglass doesn't always start at 11

[Mr C.Folt Scruff]

perhaps you have to destroy both 2 portal even the small one at same day every time

I just tried 14 and it did not work.Also 12 was impossible for me,the statue was behind a portal.

12. Is the hourglass position random?
Because my idea was, if it's not random, you have to destroy small portals between you and the hourglass in the first 11 day.

15. Being prudent can also mean have a lot of coin in the bank

16. Destroy portals only when the closest wall to it is maxed out

17. You "purse" is never empty. You're prudent by always having some coins to spend if there's a problem.

The statue is always random from what I've seen.I actually tried 15 and it didn't seem to work.I'll try 15,16 and 17 again and come back with what I have.
Shouldn't the cursed crown connect somehow with the first 3 tasks tho?In the solo challenges the cursed crown usually had something to do with the first 3 tasks.Maybe each player has to pay a certain number of tributes?30?50?

You're right seems to be a good lead.

Each player must pay five tributes to the Statue of Time.
Each player must pay for two shields and two swords.
Each player must send three troops on a banner charge.

Only for the brave and prudent rulers!

18. Send four troops on a banner charge at the same time each side with bomb?

I don't even remember if we can send more than 2 squads with the bomb...

You can only send 2 troops on a banner charge at once on one side.I sent them on both sides the same day every time and no crown.I'm kinda running out of ideas at this point.

about 15.
Each player should put 100 coins in the bank seems more appropriate.

And by the way we should make sure every previous point is "equally shared" by the two players.

I'll try it right now,however I already destroyed both portals same day.
Yeah,still no luck.Maybe I did something wrong while bombing the portals-?I give up,I'm out of ideas and can't think of anything else.I feel like I tried everything.
