To find the Queen’s Domain Silver Skull, start at Deimpo Mausoleum, climb to the roof, and cross to the hidden island. Search behind the shed once you land. Silver Skulls are part of a much larger hunt: collecting 69 opens a door tied to Ending 4.

Where Is the Silver Skull in Queen’s Domain?
Climb onto Deimpo Mausoleum’s roof and cross the water to the hidden island. Once you make it across, look behind the shed. I’d check the shed first, then search the nearby ground if the pickup isn’t immediately visible.
Prepare Your Wind Gems and Sword
Bring all five Wind Gems for five air dashes, plus a sword with a forward-lunging secondary attack. The Rusted Sword works for this approach. The Ancient Sword or Pandora Blade are alternatives.
Five dashes make the route below easier to follow.
Other movement techniques may be possible, but you don’t need to plan around them for this approach.
How to Get Queen’s Domain Silver Skull: My Run
Here’s how I reached the rooftop launch point and made the crossing:
- Enter through the nearby window. Look around the Mausoleum entrance for the window and follow the passage to a sarcophagus.
- Use the sarcophagus to climb higher. Stand on it, then jump and air dash onto the ledge overhead.
- Aim for the opening with skeletons. Jump outward toward the left and chain air dashes to reach that passage.
- Find the eastern rooftop platform. Continue upward onto the roof, then move to the launch position behind the large cross.
- Extend your jump across the water. Leap toward the island and combine your air dashes with the sword’s forward lunge.
Keep an eye on your height. Sword lunges extend the jump but can pull you downward. A Cestus uppercut can help you regain some lift.
Other Loot to Check on the Hidden Island
Don’t leave the island after checking the shed. There’s more to find:
- Trader’s House Keys: The island miniboss drops them.
- Filthy Loot Sack: Another item available during the island exploration.
- Yellow chest: On the cliffs; check Umbada’s house progression for the keys needed to open it.
The Trader’s House Keys drop after you reach the island, so they aren’t required for the crossing. Save the cliffside chest for when you have its separate keys.
Other Areas to Check for Silver Skull in Queen’s Domain
Looking for more skulls? These are useful places to search throughout the world. Think of them as a starting route, not a complete checklist.
- Isle of Neasied: Check the roof or highest point of the shrine where you first claim the sword.
- Tower of Knowledge to Deimpo: Inspect the bridge towers, especially the final tower closest to the Mausoleum.
- Tower of Knowledge: Look beneath the last crumbling ramp near the top.
- Ancient World: Search upper platforms and the dark, vine-covered tunnel inside the building associated with the blue security key.
- Later areas: Look along high ledges in the Rotting Caverns, around the Record of Sin and Sin-area boss rooms, and near Wind Stone shrines.
If I were you, I would revisit rooftops and isolated ledges as soon as I had more room to move in the air.
What Do the 69 Silver Skulls Unlock?
Ending 4 spoilers: Handing in 69 Silver Skulls at the secret area beneath the Petrified Garden opens a door tied to the Eat ending. Reaching that area involves four Mask of Second Sight lenses and five Trident Keys.
Do You Need More Movement Upgrades?
For the island crossing, the five-dash setup and a lunging sword are enough to follow the route above. Save the trickier rooftops and faraway ledges for later exploration.
How Treasure Sales and Duck Figurines Work
Umbada’s Trading Outpost exchanges unique Treasure for Ancient Coins, and places sold pieces on the display shelves. Not every unusual item belongs to that system. The Stone Duck Figurine from the Shrine Guardian opens the Trading Outpost through a Crystal Monument. Dagoom’s Silver Duck Figurine expands the stock.
