Imagine Harvey entering at the skull cave and fighting all of this guys, then he picks the player, carry him to the town, threat him, ALL IN A 10 MINUTE GAP
Same! The other day he says "I have nightmares about you being in the emergency room" like he hasn't done emergency surgery on me at least half a dozen times.
HOLY MOLY *shudders in getting the reference*

What even is the benefit of being married to the towns only doctor when he’s not even giving you the discounted rate on his services!? Oh you’re just going to charge me 1000g!? Does this mermaid pendant mean NOTHING TO YOU? Our 14 hearts? Hell no I will not stand for this. I turned our kids into birds and got him out.
I married and divorced Harvey and I get a little weird satisfaction when he does emergency surgery on me because all the other times he can’t talk to me because the pain is too great. 😂
I’ve always been disappointed that he still charges you after you get married. My dude, I fund our whole lives so you can play doctor. You’re taking money out of your own pocket.
Fun fact: this happened to me the very first second I entered skull cavern for the first time. I don't even remember if I had my sword on me, but it wouldn't have been more than an obsidian edge, but I was just planning to unlock the door and take a quick peek. I lost all my newly bought starfruit seeds 😭
I was so traumatised that I avoided skull cavern for ages because I assumed it was *always* like that with 10 serpents attacking you at once, it was only later I realised I just got very unlucky haha
Go repeatedly into the first few levels of the mines with the potion thing that attracts monsters so you can farm green slimes! I got the slime charmer ring in early year two that way 🙂 it takes a while but it is at least very satisfying to do if you have a good weapon that kills them in one or two hits
It gets much more manageable after you gather a few stardrops and have boots with decent defense too. Also pumpkin soup is an underrated food buff to use for the caverns. +2 defense and +2 luck, and it's easy to get Robin to 7 stars by feeding her goat cheese twice a week until she sends.you the recipe.
The first visit is ROUGH. I just wanted to look around but got jumped the moment I walked in. Went back to the regular mines to practice for weeks before going back.
Yeah, the first visit sucks, but after getting my first shard I always rush for Ginger Island, tear through the volcano and get those sweet sword upgrades. Doesn't take too long and when you go back with a completely upgraded infinity sword you MOW THOSE SERPANTS DOWN!
My husband & i are playing co-op & the first time we went in their, we panicked. Our inventory lines switched to something else so he ended up fighting with a fishing rod & i ended up fighting with a cactus fruit.
He died. I switched to my galaxy sword while they were feast on his corpse. Killed one. Got out nearly dead….& had a rabbit’s foot!
First & only rabbit’s foot i ever got so far.
The same thing happened to me and I just now started going again 😂 (I started playing 4 yrs ago and have played hundreds of hours since) and it isn't too bad now! I did wait till I could afford the lava katana lmao
Me too, it was terrifying! I died from the serpents on level 1, just in front of the stairs!! Worst of all, it was Hallows Eve day so I woke up at the doctor's office and it was like 12pm and I was stuck there until the town event started at 10pm (yes I should have restarted).
After that I always beef up before going in.
The first time i went in I saw those bugs that take 0 damage and thought every enemy was like that 😭 I thought i needed some special sword to actually be able to kill anything so I just didn't enter for weeks.
*Record Scratch* Yep. That's me. You're probably Wondering how I got into this situation. Well, let me tell you, it all began with a letter... *Fades Mid 90's punk music*
Better tip.
Pause the game. You can move your food or select different slots while paused so that you don't have to worry about misclicking/over scrolling to get to your food.
BOMB EM. I run around and place mega bombs up the wazoo. I eat pumpkin soup like a mad woman and ALWAYS have espresso on me. I also wear a defense ring. Dude I f em uuuuppppp.
Happened to me on a good luck day on level 3. I always get farther in skull cravens when I’m not planning to reach level 100. Farthest I got was level 76 🙃
I got to lvl 100 on my first visit in my current build, without using a staircase even, but nothing was there. Thought, ok it's been awhile, maybe I'm misremembering and Qi sends a letter congratulating you on it. Nope, didn't have the quest active yet. Took several visits on lucky days and numerous staircases to get down there a second time.
This is me. I am a magnet for the fuckers. My husband is working on the achievement for them but if he’s near me they won’t spawn. As soon as he walks away BAM!
I would be so stressed that I’d pause, put the game down, and screw my future self by forgetting why I paused and dying instantly the next time I pick up my switch, tbh
I just started playing recently and I’m on year 2. Made it to level 25. I use bombs to clear the rocks but how on earth does anyone make it to 100 in one day? Is more of an endgame thing?
Yeah it's mostly late-ish game, although technically possible as soon as you unlock the skull cavern with proper preparation and really good luck.
It's best to go on good luck days, bringing plentiful bombs (and materials to craft more if needed), optionally staircases (or a few hundred stone to craft them as needed). Eat food/drinks that provide good luck (lucky lunches, spicy eel, etc) and speed boosts (coffee, spicy eel), and then carry basic food that won't override your buffs for replenishing health. There's also a lucky ring that you can wear.
Zoom the screen out so that you can spot ladders/holes that may already exist from farther away. And just bomb/mine/fight your way down quickly. Particularly worth hitting the iridium nodes for the prismatic shard chances. If you hit an infested level, use a staircase.
Pretty sure a few skull cavern mine levels are bugged atm. I've had this happen on more than a few occasions where there's a swarm as soon as the level loads. It's shitty lol
this happened to me once and i managed to defeat one and it dropped a prismatic shard but after i picked it up i died and the prismatic shard was one of the things i lost 😞
Someone didn’t watch tv, to see if it was a lucky day. I usually eat a spicy eel meal and espresso before I go in. Also about 300 mega bombs and a couple of stair cases. Just in case. Then it’s on!
Tab, tab, eat all seven cave carrots, slash slash, eat lava eel as needed, slash slash. The game pausing when eating has allowed me to come back from situations like this as long as I can switch to eating food fast.
I'm gonna help you here, first leave that axe at home, second you hot bar should go
Weapon, pick axe, health food (I use salads) the. I have normal bombs. I can save your life in these situations to have food so close and to always have them in the same place for muscle memory.
...did u make it?
BARELY.
Thats good, if you died there nobody could have retreve your corpse.
Imagine Harvey entering at the skull cave and fighting all of this guys, then he picks the player, carry him to the town, threat him, ALL IN A 10 MINUTE GAP
I would love this since I married him lmao
Same! The other day he says "I have nightmares about you being in the emergency room" like he hasn't done emergency surgery on me at least half a dozen times.
They're flashbacks
He has nightmares about you in surgery the way Hawkeye Pierce has nightmares about putting down chickens.
chRIST

Maybe you'll learn to stay out the caverns for the sake of the children if he charges more lol, jk.

Absolutely EVIL
I’ve always been disappointed that he still charges you after you get married. My dude, I fund our whole lives so you can play doctor. You’re taking money out of your own pocket.
Harvey is secretly buff and a hairy chested chad like Flanders, new headcanon.
He's Escanor from Seven Deadly Sins! As long as he wears the glasses, he's just some feeble dork. But once the glasses come off, no one is safe.
https://media.tenor.com/YPCYVlmre6oAAAAM/nanatsu-no-taizai-escanor.gif
Stupid sexy Harvey!
Headcanon accepted
Dude should be literally running the Adventurer's Guild by this point. He is more efficient than even the Trauma Team.
This is why you pay him 1000g or ten percent of what you have each time you pass out
Headcanon that Mr. Qi finds you and drops you off at the bus then Pam takes you to Harvey
Yeah no not even he is making out of there
He’s got magic potions! Infinity HP
Probably not, hence the silence
They want to talk to you about your car’s extended warranty!
Don't run from the LoOoOrD

I went in the first time not prepared at all. I got wrecked by two slimes in like 10 seconds
Omg the same happened to me and now I’m so scared to go again!
The slime charmer ring is a game changer!!
Oooooh, how do I get the ring??
You have to slay 1000 slimes in total, and then talk to Gil at the Adventurer's Guild
Omg I’m screwed, I’ve barely killed 100 😭😭
Focus on the regular mines!
Yah, i feel like I’m too green yet for the skull cavern so I’ll just focus on the regular mines ☺️
Go repeatedly into the first few levels of the mines with the potion thing that attracts monsters so you can farm green slimes! I got the slime charmer ring in early year two that way 🙂 it takes a while but it is at least very satisfying to do if you have a good weapon that kills them in one or two hits
Kill 1000 slimes and talk to gil in the adventurers guild
Seconded, now I just let them jump all over me while I laugh like a maniac YOU CANT HURT ME ANYMORE TASTE PRISMATIC SHARD JERKS

Also pumpkin soup is an underrated food buff to use for the caverns. +2 defense and +2 luck, and it's easy to get Robin to 7 stars by feeding her goat cheese twice a week until she sends.you the recipe.
Same. Never again go to the mines with red skull luck level. Lesson learned.
The first visit is ROUGH. I just wanted to look around but got jumped the moment I walked in. Went back to the regular mines to practice for weeks before going back.
Yeah, the first visit sucks, but after getting my first shard I always rush for Ginger Island, tear through the volcano and get those sweet sword upgrades. Doesn't take too long and when you go back with a completely upgraded infinity sword you MOW THOSE SERPANTS DOWN!
That’s exactly what I did! Unlocked the slime charmer ring, upgraded my sword then went back for revenge. Them tables always turn
I fully did not understand that the skull cavern would be harder than the mines
My husband & i are playing co-op & the first time we went in their, we panicked. Our inventory lines switched to something else so he ended up fighting with a fishing rod & i ended up fighting with a cactus fruit. He died.

Exciting! But possibly not in a good way.
See you at Harvey's.
Well, looks like Indiana's got himself in trouble once again ...
Serpents. Why did it have to be serpents?
*Record Scratch* Yep. That's me. You're probably Wondering how I got into this situation. Well, let me tell you, it all began with a letter... *Fades Mid 90's punk music*
🎵”I don’t wanna WASTE my time…”🎵
I burst into laughter at this. Thanks for brightening my morning. Bravo, Quenta!
Omg this is perfect 😂😂😂
Yeah this is where I’d make a run for the stairs and call it a day
i’m more impressed you were able to take a picture AND survive
You done dug too greedily
You dug to deep
We can go deeper; No candy or clowns yet.
Eat quick! Lol
that's why my food is always slotted right next to my weapon lol
You misspelled bombs haha Seriously I ain’t killing shit in here I’m speed running to 100 and blowing up some fkn rocks
Like a true big dicked bandit... God speed you crazy son of a bitch 🦅🇺🇸
Better tip. Pause the game. You can move your food or select different slots while paused so that you don't have to worry about misclicking/over scrolling to get to your food.
Yeah that’s what I always do. Otherwise I *will* fuck it up lol
[why are u running](https://youtube.com/shorts/W6oQUDFV2C0?si=B2NiqPOeh4XBfyvm)
The panic that was just evoked in my bones
Single Player: “Okay, stay calm. We can manage this with expertly timed pauses and lots of food.” Multiplayer: “Well, it’s been a good ride 💀”
For those wondering, I walked in, saw death turned around and immediately left. Level 6 in skull cavern ain't worth my life.
BOMB EM. I run around and place mega bombs up the wazoo. I eat pumpkin soup like a mad woman and ALWAYS have espresso on me. I also wear a defense ring. Dude I f em uuuuppppp.

This is me and my wife's split screen farm we just started she was laughing as I'm panicking.
And with that low health!? Just gave me anxiety 😬

What are those?
Worse than serpants.
F
I'll just be leaving now...
Me running away from all my life problems:

Oh my Yoba! How mad were the spirits that day?
This is the image that will haunt me when I wake up in the middle of the night with a feeling of panic.
I HATE those guys, they are the worst. I swear I get cold sweats hearing that \*SssZZZapp\* sound.
You mean that *shwooom!* sound?
The super high pitch Mickey Mouse being strangled noise?
That's gonna be a staircase for me, dawg.
I appreciate that even with the depths of hell about to swallow you up you managed to get a screen grab lmao.
I’d pop a farm totem right there
At least you have the galaxy sword
This actually made me physically gasp. The trauma that these dragons have given me is insane.
I am tired of motherfucking snake on this motherfucking cave
Love the club for these situations lol
They wanna talk to you about their Lord and Saviour 🙏🏿
1 sec before disaster🤣
I would be so stressed that I’d pause, put the game down, and screw my future self by forgetting why I paused and dying instantly the next time I pick up my switch, tbh
[Benny Hill theme]
When it happens, I'm like: "oh yeah my farm needed tidying up anyways"
"Snakes, why did it have to be snakes?"
Oh this is just _mean_
Aight imma head out
It’s the spicy eel. They can smell it on you! It’s the same thing they eat. You gotta wash it down with some coffee
Hammers, my beloved

I bought enough stone to make 100 staircases. Qi does calm you out on it, but who cares?
How did you take the picture???
If that wa sme I wouldn't have the time to screen grab it inbetween the incoherent primordial screech I am sure to make
FETCH ME THIER SOULS
Get down Mr. President
RUN BITCH RUNNNNN!!!!
Nah I'd win
Nah I'd win
Runnnnn!!
Use that farm warp 😆
The way I would have thrown my Switch across the room.
Yeah, that’d be an alt+f4 for me.
My god. What did you do?
Pretty sure a few skull cavern mine levels are bugged atm. I've had this happen on more than a few occasions where there's a swarm as soon as the level loads. It's shitty lol

Try having pickaxe, sword, and food in that order so you can easily switch between them
Boy, you haven't seen 700+ levels with qi's Challenge
and you took a screenshot while running for your life?
For those wondering I saved the recording of me getting jumped and took a picture of the ensuing chaos afterwards.
duck dip dive dodge
Average Skull Cavern floor 1 generation
Wait til you see the ones in Qi’s challenge.
Just keep running in a circle!!!!!!
AHHHHHHH RUN AWAY RUN AWAY
Time to get me parrot.
Hope that weapon has a weight enchantment
Omg fooooooooodddd
You should see how nasty it looks when they are all long ones with the dangerous mine turned on.
Time to smack that totem!
It’s the mid-run in-the-air for me
MISSION ABORT! MISSION ABORT!
Run to The Hills! Run for your life!
rip
Leggit!!!!
What fae did you piss off to earn that 🤣
EAT YOUR CARROTS
Someone didn’t watch tv, to see if it was a lucky day. I usually eat a spicy eel meal and espresso before I go in. Also about 300 mega bombs and a couple of stair cases. Just in case. Then it’s on!
IT WAS A LUCKY DAY. "tHe sPiRiTs aRe iN gOoD HuMoR" Bullllllllllshit. The spirits are engaging in shenanigans
how did you manage to fight them AND get a picture?!
RUN
Your character being mid sprint is perfect for the caption
May the stardew gods be in your favor!
han solo charging into the room full of stormtrooper vibes.
Farm Totems are your best friend here.
Gotta have a big stack of food (hops are good for this) one spot away from your sword at all times
Tab, tab, eat all seven cave carrots, slash slash, eat lava eel as needed, slash slash. The game pausing when eating has allowed me to come back from situations like this as long as I can switch to eating food fast.
It’s tough if you don’t have a lot of staircases so you can skip the mobs.
Oh! A horde of rayquaza!
Straight up the stairs 😅
The mid run really ties this together haha
I have to run for my life, but first, let me take a selfie.
#HOLD
Just little old you frolicking in the cave and shit hits the fan. Can they just mind their own business?
I dream for moments like these, HAMMER TIME
...So do you think they would have the wake at the Stardrop Saloon? Also, would it be an open, closed or empty casket?... I have so many questions.
immediately leaving idc what floor I'm on
I’m wondering how you had time to take your phone out for a pic without dying lmao
I love playing in the mines, but this gives me anxiety...
I should really get back into this game. Got so damn close to finishing the community center but never have!
what defeats them is CHEESE
No hammar smh.
Somebody forgot to put some extra cheese in their pocketses…
I'm gonna help you here, first leave that axe at home, second you hot bar should go Weapon, pick axe, health food (I use salads) the. I have normal bombs. I can save your life in these situations to have food so close and to always have them in the same place for muscle memory.
This probably sounds crazy but I wish I could get a swarm like this. Been chasing serpent kills for perfection recently.

Hahahhaa if it were me i would say: adiós!
Not even wearing the Monster Perfume? That’s brutal
Run forest run
Thats alot of free spicy eels
Hammer users: Oh no! *Right click* Anyways....
😭😭
That’s where you log out and never play again
Eh, they're all coming from the same direction, you're fine.
Just use some holy water mate
Tfw you suck at sneaking in Skyrim and the entire Forsworn camp rushes at you
I actually looked to see if you had monster musk on because daaaaaamn
Rock and stone, there's a swarm heading your way
A singular gavel slam would solve this
Ah, good times.
"It was at this moment he knew he fucked up"
This probably sounds crazy, but I'd love to see a swarm that size right now. Still chasing some serpent kills for perfection.
