All Queen’s Domain guides
Silver Skulls are spread all over Queen’s Domain, from the skyscrapers of Ancient World to the basements of Siratsu Castle and the Tower of Knowledge. Many of them sit high up and need several wind dashes in a row, or flight, which you unlock at the 30-skull reward.
Most entries below have two screenshots: one of the skull and one of a landmark nearby. The numbers are only labels and do not follow any in-game order, and numbers 3, 20, and 27 have no entry. Expect spoilers for later areas.
Tips for Reaching 59 Silver Skulls
- Many skulls need lots of wind dashes, flight, or both. Flight comes with the 30-skull reward.
- Use the Cestus secondary attack to gain a little extra height.
- Always check on top of wind gem spots. Petrified Garden may have two, and Record of Sin has a couple, but wait for flight before you go there.
- The game gives you no clear way to see which skulls you have or where to look next, so keep your own list.
