Skull Splittur is the axe for fighting what you cannot see coming. It is grown from Yggdrasil Wood and Refined Eitr and meant for the Mistlands that produced both. It deals 130 slash and 70 chop. At 200 total damage it ranks 5th among axes, a step on the ladder rather than the top of it.
How to Craft
Made at a level 1 black forge, from:
- 30x Iron: Smelted from scrap iron in a smelter.
- 15x Yggdrasil Wood: Chopped from Yggdrasil shoots in the Mistlands.
- 10x Refined Eitr: Refined from sap and soft tissue at an eitr refinery.

When to Use It
Mid game. It needs Mistlands materials and a Black Forge, so it comes after Yagluth and the sea crossing beyond him. The Ashlands and the Deep North still lie past this point.
Upgrades
It can be upgraded 3 times after crafting, and each level needs the station built one step higher than the last. Every other figure on this page is for quality 1, so this table shows where your own copy sits:
| Quality | Crafting Station | Slash | Chop (trees) | Durability | Resources |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Black forge (Level 1) | 130 | 70 | 200 |
|
| 2 | Black forge (Level 2) | 136 | 72.5 | 250 |
|
| 3 | Black forge (Level 3) | 142 | 75 | 300 |
|
| 4 | Black forge (Level 4) | 148 | 77.5 | 350 |

Properties
Each swing deals 200 damage for 22 stamina, the dearest hit in the class. It is also the hardest-hitting axe that is not a Berserkir. 130 of that damage is slash, the part that lands on a creature.
It needs a level 1 Black Forge, like the Jotun Bane. Both are available straight away, and they answer different questions: this one brings raw damage and stagger, while the Jotun Bane brings poison and chop.
Open with the secondary. It costs half the stamina, deals 4x stagger and takes 0.84 seconds. At 22 stamina for a primary swing you cannot afford to miss, so staggering the target before you commit is the whole technique.
Notes
- Chop damage only works on trees, not on creatures, which is why it takes an axe to fell a tree.
- Better axes fell tougher trees. The Stone Axe and Flint Axe cut Beech, Fir and Pine. Bronze and Iron axes also cut Birch, Oak and the Ancient Trees of the Swamp. Only the Black Metal Axe and Jotun Bane cut the Yggdrasil Shoots of the Mistlands and the Scorched Trees of the Ashlands.
- The first swing of a two-handed axe combo is by far the slowest, at 1.58 seconds. The second and third swings take about 0.92 and 0.7 seconds, and together they deal three times the damage of a normal hit.
