Main Quest · Shi No Numa

Heads Up!

Vanguard Zombies’ first named quest is a rescue of memory: the ancient monolith and the two-piece Relic Mirror restore what Kortifex stole from Saraxis, and the Echo of Saraxis boss fight — three masks for weak points, Wunderwaffe-charged phases — breaks his hold. The reward is the arc’s cruellest reveal: Saraxis was Kortifex’s bride, masked and mind-wiped by him, and his true target is a living entity called the Construct.
