Skeleton Princess Route

## Beginning the Route

* Progress through Skeleton Princess questline (continue raising affinity and speaking with her at her Reign)
* Deciding not to let the issue be and to find out why SkeletonP doesn't want to marry begins the Route

## Recruitment

Upon beginning the Route, the Knight must recruit SkeletonP. The usual methods are:

* If her Reign is conquered, you may be able to buy her as a slave from the goblin slave market
* If you have three or more princess affinity with her and her reign is under siege, you can rescue her

* If you have three or more princess affinity with her, you can sneak into the reign, impregnate her, wait for her to birth an heir, and sneak in again to elope with her
	+ In order for her to "sleep" (so that you can sneak in,) it seems to be necessary for SkeletonP to be in a war and for her forces to lose several battles, possibly in a row; it is possible for this to happen without player intervention, but it is unlikely, and the player may want to intentionally battle against her forces to force her to rest
	+ Yes, she can become pregnant, despite being a skeleton; as usual, Shorty Special can be useful for that

Upon spending time with her at a campsite (higher Love stat for SkeletonP may be necessary,) the Knight gains additional quests he must complete.

## Finding the Right Venue

In order to find the right place for a wedding, the Knight must travel to the Kingdom Above via the Sky Lift. Once there, he must use the Cucco Wings or a flying progeny (e.g. a dragon) to travel to the Monastery; see the linked page for information on accessing the cathedral. Once there, travel to the back of the cathedral and up the ladder to access the roof. Moving towards the cross will advance the quest and prompt a fight with Michael. Defeat him to finish the quest.

## Bringing Guests

The Knight must have 20 skeleton progeny. Gaining more skeleton progeny can be done in multiple ways:

* Summoning new progeny via necromancy, available using the Death Not, which can be found in the Old Church, accessible from Frozen Church.
	+ This requires bones, which can be found in numerous dungeons and as rewards from the level 2 guild quest to assist the Skeleton Reign, assuming it has not fallen
* Buying skeletons as slaves from the goblin slave market
* Impregnating SkeletonP
* Leaving a male skeleton progeny and a female skeleton progeny at the daycare at Rabbit Vineyards and waiting long enough will cause them to produce another skeleton progeny

Next, the Knight must dress them up for the occasion - each of the 20 skeleton progeny must be wearing an outfit, not including the Bunny Hoodie. A simple way to accomplish this is to buy Mourning Vests from Lina for 500 Swirlies each and equip each of the progeny with one. The gender of the progeny is unimportant; Mourning Vests will not change the appearance of male skeleton progeny, but they will still count towards the 20 needed guests.

## Final Steps

* Speak to SkeletonP at the campsite after completing the quests required. She will give the Knight an item.
* Equip it, go into battle, and allow yourself to be killed.
	+ Caution: This step will cause the Knight to lose all of his items, and they will not be returned, even if the player starts a New Game+. (This is no longer the case as of 17.9 and later, the mystery box will properly retain items for the next playthrough, but mimic dungeon must be conquered again to retrieve the box to open it.)
* After another scene, the Knight will arrive in the Kingdom Below, not far from the starting location of Insect Princess Hive. Move to the right and then up through the poison fog, then to the left towards the Crystal Crater.
* Make your way up and out to Wyvern Peak, and then out to the world map.
* Speak with the fairy to move to the mainland.
* Travel to the mountains and then to Mouse Clocktown.
* Speak with Tinkerer to receive the Cucco Wings.
* Travel north to the north side of the continent and wait until night.
* Sneak into the Sky Lift, through the Sewers if necessary.
* Use the button upstairs to operate the Sky Lift and move to the Kingdom Above.
* Use the Cucco Wings to fly over the clouds to the Monastery.
* Make your way to the top of the cathedral as before.
