Skulls of Limoany are priced among highend players of Torchlight 2 for their 5% damage reduction when socketed in armour. To farm them, this is the best method I know. If you have suggestions or comments, don't hesitate to tell me them.

1:30 Can't make out the name of the shielding skull...

I seem to have run into a problem with this method. I level up while killing the goblins. I started as lvl 50ish and now I am 63. I don't think the skulls will be dropping any more. Am I right or wrong about this ?

As it was said a year ago, this is not the best location. I am doing the Maze challenge in NG+ Temple Steppes. When you've memorized the maze, it takes less than a minute to run it, assuming you ignore the Mysterious Gems that spawn a golden chest — which you should because the gems add an extra 40-50 seconds to the run; not worth it.

I did farming sessions of both the Protect the Crystals challenge and the Maze challenge. Both — with a PB Embermage. I saved the topmost crystal every time with Hailstorm. My record on the crystal challenge was 34 seconds. The maze – 46 seconds. Yes, just forty-six seconds. I had my gold farming gear on, so no faster cast rate. Although I do use Haste VI, and I frost-phase several times on the maze.

Two hours of the crystal challenge netted me only one Limoany. In the maze, I got four in less than an hour.

My 2 hours non-stop 4 chests/run results:

- 3x Limoany
- 2x Meerko
- 2x Macaburg
- 2x Nephanic
- 2x Lovantine
- 4x Nopsil
- 20x Unique items (2x of a Set)
- 28x random regular gems

Thanks a lot for the video, It works! Just need to farm hard, cuz sometimes there are unlucky streaks.

Those skulls are soo rare, im tired of farming this challenge over and over again just to receive no Limoany at all. Lava beast challenge doesnt net those skulls as it is consedered too high level area, is it correct?

zees ees velly goot. sank you

this method doesnt work on boss stage right? I tried it yesterday, after killing the alchemist i just quit without entering the portal then came back, the boss still dead

best place to farm is Tarroch's Tomb. However I don't know If they drop there but there are a lot of chests at the end. you might consider making a farm character and use the console to cheat get to the tomb in ng+ and set your level to the required level of the drop and try farming it there.

Excellent guide, very useful. Thank you. Did a four hour farming session and got this:

5 Limoany
4 Lovantine
6 Macaburg
6 Meerko
3 Nopsil
1 Nephanic
4 Omorox

and 2 or 3 dozen unique armor/weapons. Of course, the Limoany skulls are the only ones that really matter. Also, as metioned in your video, frost phase helps a lot to speed it up and to save all 4 chests.

Wrong location and wrong lvl. Need 55-58 lvl Act 1 and labyrinth location (dog portal Loc). https://translate.google.ru/translate?sl=ru&tl=en&js=y&prev=_t&hl=ru&ie=UTF-8&u=http%3A%2F%2Fmytorchlight.ru%2Fforum%2Findex.php%3Ftopic%3D486.0&edit-text=&act=url

Dude, I just wanna ask. Do you, yourself, actually got a Skull using this method? It doesn't seem to work or... is my luck is just terrible? :D
