Useful Info
Weeping skulls can be found in ossuaries, Crypt, and the Abyss. They spew clouds of excruciating misery, harming the player for 10% of their health each turn without negative energy resistance. They also produce an aura of short-lived misery clouds a few tiles around them.

Tips & Tricks
- If you lack negative energy resistance, do not fight these in corridors. You will quickly lose all of your health over the course of a few turns.
- Torment resistance has no effect against clouds of excruciating misery.
- If you stay still, the misery clouds created from Mourning Wail can never hit you, as it will not spawn clouds on tiles with vulnerable targets. The clouds that randomly spawn around the weeping skull can, however.
- Lee's Rapid Deconstruction will likely destroy these in 1-2 casts.
