What level is Iridium in Skull Cavern?

Iridium starts appearing in the Skull Cavern around level 30-40 but becomes much more common the deeper you go, with the best hauls usually found by rushing past floor 100 and into the hundreds for maximum iridium nodes and better monster drops. The chance for iridium nodes and drops from monsters like Iridium Bats and Purple Slimes steadily increases with depth, so using bombs and staircases to descend quickly is key.

What happens when you get to level 100 in Skull Cavern?

Reaching Skull Cavern Level 100 triggers a special event with Mr. Qi (if you have Secret Note #10), where he rewards you with Iridium Snake Milk for a permanent health boost, with slightly different dialogue if you used over 10 Staircases. This unlocks deeper exploration, offering more Iridium, but Level 100 itself is primarily for this reward and a guaranteed treasure chest, with deeper levels containing tougher monsters and better loot.

How to get to level 100 in Skull Cavern quickly?

To reach Skull Cavern level 100 fastest, go on a maximum luck day, use Desert Warp Totems to arrive early, bring lots of bombs and stone for staircases, and prioritize using shafts and staircases over fighting or mining, skipping all non-essential activity to descend rapidly.

No, the Skull Cavern in Stardew Valley is effectively endless; there's no final floor to "beat," as it's designed for continuous exploration to gather vast amounts of iridium and other rare loot, though technically it might have a massive computational limit around floor 2 billion.
