I struggle with the Skull Cavern, even when I get the special sword to help. How much food, bombs, and staircases should I bring?
What to take with you to Skull Cavern?

Okay, as someone who loves to plan that stuff, I have a list:
A LOT of iridium star goat cheese (you can put them in the casks) (about 50 or so)
A galaxy sword
A high-level pickaxe (such as gold or iridium)
20 or so mega bombs
40 or so bombs
10 or so cherry bombs
A few buffed-up dishes
approx. 50 staircases
Other stuff you like to bring

I know that's a lot but it's really helpful!

My early setup is:
Powdermelon jelly (surprisingly good recovery for the monetary value)
Galaxy sword
Gold or preferrably iridium pickaxe
40-80+ regular bombs (other bombs only if you have them and want to get rid of them)
20-100+ staircases (trade jade for them on Sundays)
Lucky Lunch if you have any
Spicy Eel (can be gained from trading rubies)
Triple Shot Espresso if you plan to run around and look for stuff and the ladder/shaft down, can be excluded if you plan to rely on staircases to look for treasure rooms.
I try to make sure I have a lot of empty space in my backpack for the monster drops, ores/gems/geodes, and any treasure rooms I come across.

Most of this has been said before but I'll reinforce it I guess lol. Galaxy sword, lots of high quality cheese (for health regeneration), a good deal of spicy eel (for speed and luck), some triple shot espresso, up to a full inventory slot of staircases (if you don't care about not using staircases for Qi's quest), as many bombs as you can XD, and some choice rings. (I like the napalm ring and the iridium band), and obviously a good pickaxe.

The pickaxe is the only tool you should take. Max it out too.

Triple Shot is the best for skull caverns.

The only thing I would add is sometimes a farm warp totem, for when you realise it's past 1 AM. I usually leave those in the chest at the entry but if I'm trying for a real push downward I'll take it with me. (And I *Still* pass out more than I should)
