Gold Skulltula (100)

We all look like this because of the spider's curse.

If every Spider of the Curse in the entire world were destroyed, the curse would be broken.

When you destroy a Spider of the Curse, a token will appear. Collect it as proof of your achievement.

The number next to this icon on the Quest Status Subscreen indicates how many Spiders of the Curse you have destroyed so far.

When this icon is displayed next to the name of the area on the Map Subscreen, there are no more Spiders in that area.

If you break the curse on my family, we will make you very rich...
