Hypixel Skyblock has incorporated numerous game mechanics over the years. One of the most intriguing is Necromancy—a mechanism that empowers players to absorb souls from defeated monsters and summon them as allies. In this comprehensive guide, we will explore the fascinating world of Necromancy in Hypixel Skyblock.

The Fundamentals of Necromancy

Necromancy is the arcane art of summoning and communicating with the deceased, allowing them to return from another realm. In the realm of Hypixel Skyblock, Necromancy allows a player to call upon a previously vanquished mob to fight by their side.

Introduced in October 2020, Necromancy made its grand entrance through the 6th floor where Sadan, a boss, displayed his prowess by raising four giants from their eternal slumber.

How to Use Necromancy

To utilize Necromancy, players must equip themselves with specific items that possess the "Raise Souls" ability. When a player defeats a mob using one of these items, there's a chance that the mob will drop its soul.

The Summoning Ring, for instance, requires the player to have the item in their inventory to activate its ability. However, with other items, the player must use them directly to kill the mob and potentially capture its soul.

The Power of Souls: Storage & Summons

While the idea of capturing souls might sound unlimited, there's a cap on how many souls one can store and subsequently summon. Different armor pieces can increase this cap:

  • Reaper Mask: +2 souls
  • Necromancer Lord Helmet: +1 soul
  • Necromancer Lord Chestplate: +1 soul
  • Necromancer Lord Leggings: +1 soul
  • Necromancer Lord Boots: +1 soul

Thus, the maximum souls a player can hold is eight, considering the player equips a Reaper Scythe, a Reaper Mask, and a full set of Necromancer Lord armor.

The Soul-catching Mechanism

Necromancy isn't as simple as killing any random mob. Specific mobs are capturable, and the probability of capturing a soul depends on the Mob Level—a number denoting the mob's strength. The higher the level, the more challenging it is to capture its soul, with some chances plummeting to a mere 1%.

Three essential items can hold these souls: the Reaper Scythe, the Necromancer’s Sword, and the Summoning Ring. Without them in a player's inventory, a mob cannot drop its soul, making some of these souls extremely rare.

Rarest Souls in the Game: An Exploration

With the introduction of a new mayor, Dante, in April 2021, the game experienced a significant upheaval. Restricting access, Dante unleashed chaos until his eventual defeat by players. Interestingly, both Dante and his giant slime version became part of the list of souls that could be captured.

In the quest for rare souls, players have discovered some like Chickzilla—a mob you can kill only once per Skyblock profile with a mere 1% chance of its soul dropping. However, more mysterious are the souls with names like "bruh", "ok", and "check". The origin of these souls remains a puzzle, but they're among the rarest entities in the game.

Conclusion

Necromancy in Hypixel Skyblock offers a world of possibilities and challenges. As players navigate capturing souls and unleashing their power, they unravel a universe of stories, intrigue, and mystery. Whether you're a seasoned player or a newbie, mastering Necromancy promises a unique and thrilling Skyblock experience.
