Notes
- Throughout combat, the skull tells you approximately what your enemy's HP currently is (within 4 HP in either direction).
- It is easy to 'abuse' the skull: within a fight, just choose the Inventory menu. You get the "You twiddle your thumbs" message, but the fight enters a new round (without any harm being done) and the skull gives you a new approximation. Doing this a few times will quickly enable you to derive the exact number of HP of your enemy and it will also prove the statement in the previous note. Take care: after 30 rounds you lose the fight!
- There exist both clockwork and defective versions of this item.
References
- The hat and pipe worn by the detective skull are derived from the stereotypical attire of Sherlock Holmes, despite the fact that he never wore them in the books.
- Adding lips to the brainy skull to create this item is a reference to Humphrey Bogart, who played a detective in many films. One of Bogey's most recognizable features was his lips.
