The Gloom Skewer is a spear with a really fast stabbing speed. The Gloom Skewer is hidden inside the South Entrance of Toxic Anthill, and the location of the POI can be seen in the image above.

For this, you’ll need the Omni-Hammer upgraded to level 2. You’ll also want a gas mask to survive the toxic fumes of the anthill. Additionally, make sure you have items like torches, bandages, and weapons of choice. The Gloom Skewer is guarded by the Cockroach Queen, and you may need to fight her to get past.

I’d recommend riding the Red Soldier Ant buggy if you want to avoid a fight. The Orb Weaver buggy can’t go inside the ant hill, and you’ll have to leave the spider buggy behind, but the Red Soldier Ant buggy can make this trip much faster, and you can speed past the Cockroach Queen without needing to engage in battle.

Fighting means you’ll need weapons and also some form of sizzle protection. This roach will shoot sizzle goop at you, so eating Mint Shards or drinking a Mintito smoothie can help keep you alive.
