Skull island in Kingdom Two Crowns[1] is a challenge island where the Monarch has to destroy all small portals before the upper bulb of the Hourglass Statue is empty.
Raw Fury description[]
“ Time is running out and you must destroy the Greed Lairs, that’s right “Lairs”, PLURAL! With a Greed Lair on each side and several Greed Portals in between this challenge is fit for only the gods that walk amongst Monarchs. And don’t forget about the volcano that is waiting to explode!—Raw Fury[2] „

On this island, there are no coins on the ground near the unlit campfire, so the Monarch has to find a coin chest on the first day in order to start the camp and to recruit people.
Unlike other islands, there are no additional mounts to switch to thus making the Monarch stuck with the griffin from the start.
The goal on this island is to destroy all greed portals.
Volcano[]
On this island, there is a giant volcano visible in the background. After a certain time, it will erupt, throwing all over the kingdom, and on top of Monarchs, giant magmatic rocks that explode when they touch the ground, spawning countless masked greedlings. The game continues until the Monarch loses the crown, which usually happens within seconds.[3]
The volcano's time counter can be frozen by using coins at the Hourglass Statue, which is the only statue on this island. Each offering of three coins gives one more day of delay, adding a light on each side of the statue. One light disappears each day and the volcano erupts when there are no lights remaining. The statue starts with five lights, and it's easy to delay the explosion forever once the kingdom has reached a good productivity.
The volcano can still erupt even after all portals are destroyed and will spawn greedlings (via the boulders coming from the volcano).
Portals[]
There are three small portals on both sides of town.
Left side | Town center | Right side | ||
---|---|---|---|---|
Cliff portal | 3 small portals | 3 small portals | Cliff portal |
